A nose for a nose (TW: harm)

-after the "incident" out of the hospital and cleared for school-

i dreaded this moment, no doubt my life will go to shit the second i enter this place, so might as well get it over with, i had to cover up my good eye, the red color wont seem to go away, so now i can barely see.

as i walkthrough the building i trip a few times getting to my first class, whispers spreading the hallways, i just walk by and ignore them.

i arrive at my class, and sit in my seat, for one the desk is clean, they probably thought i actually died

Tyler-"ooohhhh shiiiiiet look who's alive, a little bitch"

i hear this along with running and a slap on the head, my nose flares in pain, unable hold in a yelp of pain the others snicker

Tyler-"well it seems all that healing in the hospital made you a pussy huh? Well then, lets break you in later shall we?"

i shiver in fear, i know what he means, if I'm lucky ill end up with a broken arm only

Teacher (mr. o Brian)-"okok settle down you two, no need for friends to be rowdy in the morning"

'hah, rowdy, thats what he's calling this, pathetic'

standing at a good 6'6" my teachers in his late 60's and I'm pretty sure he's getting ready to retire, i can see it in his eyes.

Mr. O Brian-"so this may be a little unusual, but we have a transfer, now i know we dont get these often so behave yourselves"

as he finishes his sentence a girl walks through the door, she's stunning to say the least, she walks at a towering 7' is my best estimate, and has some of the most unusual hair I've seen, its a dark silver, not my choice of dye but who am i to judge, everyone else here has weird dyes of some kind, aside from her height her medium sized "assets" perk all the boys (a some girls) right up, she's wearing a nice grey T-shirt and black skinny jeans, her- 'why am i paying so much attention to her?'

Mr. o Brian-"her name is Sylvia and she's a senior, treat her well"

he's specifically eyeing the boys, as he does, she enters the podium

Sylvia-"hi" she says in a soft yet commanding and mature nature "he already said my name, I'm your new classmate, ill umn"

she looks around and then eyes me and sneers, a couple kids notice and laugh, basically confirming what i assume she was guessing

Sylvia-"is the seat beside the eyepatch kid free?"

Mr. o Brian-"yes, but i suggest you sit by one of the girls, who you sit next to determines your group and wouldn't it-"

she ignores him and walks to the seat besides mine and sits down eyeing me

'just say you want free group piggybacking, makes it less awkward'

the teacher stutters for a bit by soon finds his composure and begins teaching.

-around 20 minuets in class-

'why, what does she want???'

shes been starring at me this entire time and i dont know what to do, I can't say anything because of the lecture, I can't try and pay attention because of the stare

i glance over and i see her sneering at me 'i dont know what i did, at least just ignore me like everyone else'

-about 40 minuets into class-

the teacher just finished his lecture 'thank go-'

mr o Brian-"today we will be starting a week long group project, your partners will be the ones your sitting next to, the project will be a brief presentation about economics and how they effect us"

groans fill the classroom as he stop the projector he was using

mr o Brian-"fine fine, you can pick your partners, if you hate the project that much"

i already know whats coming as i hear the chuckles of Tyler and his gang

they quickly stand and start to walk towards me, as they approach i notice something weird, one of the groupies, Tyler, is wearing an eyepatch, not a decorative one, but one covered by a bandage.

before they can reach me however the girl, Sylvia turns over to me, scoots over, slams her hand on my desk, and says forcefully

Sylvia-"be my partner"

'eep'

Tyler-"sorry, but, we've been talking about being partners this past ye-"

Sylvia-"dont care. Didn't ask."

Tyler's eye twitches

I'm conflicted, on one hand he's gonna take this out on me, on the other, someone's actually talking to me besides them

She shoos them away, which after careful consideration, they leave

sylvia-"so, you dont have to worry about the project, ill do it"

'what.'

my look of shock might have clued her in to my thought

sylvia-"i know i know, ill get it done, promise"

my minds utterly blank, i dont know how to respond

sylvia-"anyhow, take that dumb thing off"

she moves with strangely fast speed as she rips the bandage to hide my eye off, the flood of light burns my retina.

Sylvia-"oooooo, so much better"

now that i can see her better, i think shes albino, red eyes, pale skin, very pale.

i hear chatter, lots, some snickering, some mocking me, and some, some that makes my blood boil, I can't here some of it, but i can hear the girls in my class plotting, if not verbally, the vibe their giving is straight up toxic.

'she needs to take the hint, if they go after her i swear to fuc-'

my thoughts get cut off, by her cold, slightly annoyed tone

Sylvia-"they know i can hear them, and yet they still go on ahead and do it, fucking wh*res i tell you"

the room goes quiet, the new pretty girl has gone on to be 1. Unexpectedly rude to the class, then goes on to say something vulgar, but instead of an air of tension, i look around and feel as if they experience seeing a cool beauty.
