8 EYES

I was walking down the hallways of the school, I was deep in thought, still trying to remember last night's events when someone rushing bumped into me, dropping his things. It snapped me out off of my thoughts.

"Sorry" The guy muttered as he frantically gather his things. It was the new guy and the guy from last night.

I dropped to my knees to help him, then my body froze when I saw a bunch of contact lenses case scattered on the floor. Okay.... this is just weird, is this guy on illegal selling or something? His head was down all the time so he didn't noticed me right in front of him, as he was so focused on picking them all up as fast as he could.

After grabbing the cases he shoved them all into his bag and stood quickly, he turned around and speed walked while his head still down. He missed one case, so I picked it up and run to him.

"Hey you miss one!" I said, catching up to him.

He turned around and grabbed the case "Thanks", then he shoved in his bag. He accidentally looked straight at me and that's when I saw the reason why his head was down. Both of his eyes are different, his right eye is Crimson Red and his left is Royal Blue.

"Your eyes" I blurted out.

When he saw that he made a mistake by looking up, his eyes widen, his face turning white. I didn't get the chance to ask him about it because he quickly put on his goggles shielding his eyes from me, then he turned around and walked as fast as his two feet can take him, his head down.

The students on the hall laughed and talked unashamedly when they saw him passing but I couldn't care less because my mind is still on those two mismatched eyes, which in my radar is super cool and amazing. Yes... I think they're amazing, so sue me, It's not everyday you get to see people having those kind of eyes.

The day went by and so far everything looks normal. No weird parties, supernatural people, and best friends trying to kill me. Speaking of best friends or rather in this case "ex-best friend", I haven't seen Luke all day, you know after the "I have to kill you" part.

When did my life became ever so complicated?

It's lunch time, I pushed the double doors and find my usual table outside. I walked to the table, but I stopped dead on my tacks to find out that the table has already been occupied. All my life that table has been where I sat at lunch everyday, even before Luke befriended me. It has already been a routine for me, that every lunch time I always go to that table.

The table is occupied by jocks and cheerleaders. The jocks are loud while the cheerleaders just giggles and laugh at whatever the jocks are saying. It was like chaos and on the middle of it all was....Luke. Yup.... he freakin' tainted and stole my table for himself and his people.

He was staring at me when I caught sight of him. My blood boiled instantly, I tighten my hold on the paper bag I was holding. I tried calming down to the best of my abilities, because right now all I wanted to do was to rip his face off and we all know that's not going to end well. So I just looked away, from what used to be my table and looked away to who used to be my best friend. I can still feel Luke starring at me, I just tried my best to shake the feeling off and just focus on where I can eat because from what I can see every table is occupied.

I was about to give up looking and decided to skip lunch, when I was saw two familiar faces and styles, sitting at the table under the huge weeping willow tree. No one ever wanted to sit on that table or even go near that tree for that matter. The students here thinks that the tree is cursed, a lot of rumors spread about people seeing ghosts or spirits near the tree and that who ever goes near the tree will sure be cursed. I know that should make me walk the other way but I'm hungry and I don't want to eat lunch alone, so I walked towards the table

Both of them are having a conversation while eating so they didn't noticed me.

"Uh... Hi, Mind if I join you guys?" I said with smile.

Both of then turned to me, when the guy saw me his face turned white and his eyes widen. His eyes are back to silver, which makes me wonder, if he just put on two different contacts at school without noticing.

"Sure" The girl said with a smile but the guy turned to her and looked at her as if she grew two heads.

"Thanks" I said sitting down, "I'm June by the way, you guys are new here right?"

"Uh-hu" The girl answered cheerfully while the guy still looks petrified.

"Welcome to Crystal Mist High" I said while pulling out my lunch from the paper bag. "I know it can be a little too much at first but you'll get use to it"

"I sure hope so" Alisa said, sounding a little uncertain

The guy nudged the girl beside him, "We can't trust him A, you know that. How do you know he's not like them?!" The guys whispered to her but it was loud enough for me to here.

I was about to say something in my defense when a loud hoot got our attention. The three of us turned to the source and look at what we saw, the jocks and cheerleaders from my "Used to be table" are all looking at us. They laugh, whisper with each other then laugh again, and what's worst..... Luke is laughing right along with them. It's like Luke is a completely different person, It's like he never knew me. I thought that it wasn't going to hurt because of what he did to me but it surprisingly did, and it made me just wanna punch something.

"Hey June! who invited the freak show?!" one of the jocks shouted, then proceeds to laugh like it the most funniest thing ever said in history.

"See I told you! He just came here to make fun of us like all the others do!" The color on the guy's face is back and now they're red from what I assume... anger.

"Wait, it's all a mis-" I was trying to tell them that it was all a big misunderstanding and that I came here because I wanted to know about them but the guy cut me off.

"Save it!" The guys hissed at me, "Let's go A" he said while gathering his things.

The girl looked at me like I betrayed her, her eyes were glassy and looks like she could cry anytime. I looked at the table again and saw Luke smirking at me. Then it hit me, he planed for this to happened. So if he can't kill me, he'll just have to make it his life long mission to make my life miserable? I clenched my teeth so hard that my jaws almost locked.

"Awwww..... The show leaving early?" some other jock mocked when the guy and girl stood, the whole table erupted in laughter.

Man I can't stand this. So right then and there I decided to embrace my weirdness (Not that I'm not already embracing it, I'm just embracing it harder) and if they will make me an out cast so be it!

I turn to the table and shouted "Hey, meathead! Shut up!" Their laughter died down, that sure got their attention. The guys and girl stared at me in surprise.

"If you call them freaks, then I'm one of them and if you so think that you people are better that us? think again, you people don't even know how to spell the word 'Intelligent'"

"Burnnnnnnnn!" Someone shouted, then students from other tables began chuckling and starting conversations about my "Come back".

"What did you say?!" The jock started to march to our table, and he clearly looks pissed. The other tables hushed and watched closely at what's about to get down.

He reached our table and slam his fist on the table, The guy and girl just stood on their spots. I thought they'd be running for the hills by now but it was the complete opposite, they looked like they're ready to fight anytime, so that gives me a little bit of assurance and hope. I didn't bother looking at the guy because what's the point right? it's like your arguing with the wall when you argue with this kind of people and the only way they can resolve anything is by making their fists connect with someone or something.

The jock grabbed my shirt and forced me to face him "Look at me when I'm talking to you!" The girl stepped forward but the guy stopped her.

"Why would I? You just insulted me and my friends (although we're not technically friends yet, but I just went with it) and now you want me to give you my attention? I'm sorry but you haven't done anything to deserve my attention." Wow, where is all this confidence coming from? Even I'm shocked.

His fist tighten on my shirt, "You little-!" swinging his other fist. His fist was about to hit my face when my arm moved on it's own, catching the fist.

The jock's eye widen when he saw I caught his fist, but then he pushed his fist with all his strength. I just pushed it back with half the effort. The jock's face was turning redder and more feral by the second.

He suddenly released me, then he run fast towards me aiming to take me down. He was about to tackle me when Luke stopped him.

The jock was just pure annoyed "What the hell man?!"

"You can't take him" Luke said to the jock.

"The hell I can't!" The jock tried to slip from Luke's hold but Luke's hold on him was tight.

"Let it go man" Luke told the jock, looking very annoyed.

"Naw man! This punk needs to learn his lesson!" The jock charged at me but failed because Luke is now dragging him away.

The jock was struggling and shouting threats as Luke dragged him.

When they got back to their table, I released a huge breath. Okay... I don't know how I just survived that but I'm thankful to God that nothing happened to me. I slump back on my sit and continue eating my lunch. I'm still hungry, don't judge me.

I looked up to the guy and girl, they're just both starting at me.

I sighed "Well, aren't you guys going to sit and finish your lunch?"

The girl took her sit almost immediately, while the guy was a little bit hesitant at first but eventually he also took his sit.
