Everyone always looks at the outside and judges what you are on the inside. I have long brown hair, big brown eyes and minimum make up. I wear dresses that make me look 8 years old. I'm seventeen and still the picture of innocence, cute and pretty, everyone loves me. No one believes me when I tell them who I truly am, and honestly it suits me fine. I am a scorpion, and a scorpions greatest element, is surprise. Just trust me when I say this, it's near impossible to make a scorpion angry, but when you do. Run, devil, run.
We were the strangest best friends in the school. Me, with my little girl look, and him, black, with big muscles and a gangster look, we couldn't seem more like opposites. And yet we were inseperable, I think Jake was one of the only people who really understood me, and me, him. We could be having a conversation in the middle of a group of our peers and we'd be the only ones with any clue what we talking about. I knew that the other girls in my grade found him alluring, Jake was the kind of guy who didn't have to talk to have presence. You knew he was there the moment he entered the room. Me, on the other hand, I could walk into a room and leave, without making any visible attempt to hide, and still go un-noticed. To put it bluntly, he was the bad boy and I was the good girl. And we were best mates. Go figure.
It took a while before Jake introduced me too his mates outside of school. I don't think it was me that caused him to take so long, but them.
"Why is it you can be instant friends with some people but completely shut down around others? I'd think you were scared of them but Ty has asked after you everytime I visit him." I met Ty a few months ago. A little over 50 Ty was a big man, muscles not fat, and the face of someone youd see on tv. Someone who'd swing off the handle at the slightest thing. I'd felt perfectly comfortable with Ty immediately and was quickly having arguments with him over videogames. I found it impossible to trust people to their appearences. Jake was proof. Hell, I was proof! And at other times jake would introduce me to someone and I couldn't even open my mouth to say hi.
"I guess I am scared of them. Some people you introduce me too and my instincts go haywire, get away, get away, get away." I shook my head, I've always been horrible at explaining my instincts. Jake just looked at me funny and we focused on the video game we were playing.
Whatever Jakes reaction had been when I'd said that I think he'd been thinking about it quite a lot because a few weeks later we met him. Dominic. Apparently Jake hadn't met him either and maybe that was why he was watching me so intently at that moment. When Dominic stood in front of me it was all I could do not run as fast i could in the opposite direction. My instincts were going into overdrive, so much in fact that when Dominic extended his hand towards me, i stumbled backwards in attempt to avoid having his skin anywhere near mine. At that moment Jake immediately stepped inbetween us, introduced me, than swept me to safety.
"I've never seen you react like that before." Jake half-whispered, so as to make sure no one else around us heard, and I shook my head slightly.
"He looks decent... but Jake theres something very wrong with Dominic. I've never felt my instincts do that before." Jake just looked at me and I could see the gears moving in his head.
"I'll watch him." Was all Jake said before he walked back to his mates who were crowded in the middle of the basketball court. I sat on a bench in the corner of the fenced court, my head buried into my lastest book, my instincts flared up again. I looked up and there was Dominic, just staring at me. Apparently the basketball game was over, I hadn't been paying attention too it. Jake looked up and saw him, his eyes immediately narrowing as he saw his line of sight.
"Oi, Dominic!" Jake cried and Dominic looked away from me, just in time to catch the ball that Jake had snatched from one of his other mates. That moment gave me enough to grab my bag and make my way over to them. Closer to Dominic. Closer to Jake. Closer to the one person I knew would do his up most to keep me safe. Because I had the strangest feeling that Dominic wasn't dangerous to anyone but Jake and I. I had the strangest feeling that if I wasn't me than Dominic wouldn't be dangerous at all.
(This is just me being bored, really and I'm not sure how it's supposed to evolve. I working on the idea that Dominic thinks Jake is Tera's boyfriend and starts trying to get between them. This leads to a few altercations, that get increasingly violent, and ends with Dominic kidnapping Tera and a bunch of stuff happens inbetween lol. Anys, any opinions, comments or criticisms is much appreciated! Esspecially criticisms, I love knowing how I can myself better :) ))
