(Lociet) High School Hierarchy Book 1

Flower Beds.

deceit had fallen asleep shortly after the homophobic beech had spoken.

Virgil was playing with his hair, looking down at him with a smile. He had moved Deceit so he was laying on his lap to make him more comfortable.

Remus still hadn't had to knock the man out. he was hoping he would be able to, seeing as he was pissed because he had spoken to his friends rudely just for a kiss on the forehead.

Deceit snored softly in his sleep, his muscles were relaxed and to Virgil he seemed like an angle in his sleep. 

Virgil stoked his burn with a thumb. deceit shifted slightly as Virgil did this.

the man stopped the van, a large building was in front of them. it was in decent shape, but the first sight they were greeted with was a woman slapping a kid with her backhand because he tripped in the flower bed. 

Virgil and Remus frowned, Virgil held deceit protectively. 

"Wake the slut, sinner." the man said and Remus clenched his fists.

"Remus don't you dare loose your cool." Virgil warned. He wanted to slit the man's throat for calling Deceit a slut. He then turned to said boy "Hey Love, wake up. we're here.." Virgil glanced at the yard again and the kid who had tripped was being whipped with a belt. 

Virgil closed his eyes tightly then looked back at deceit, he sat up and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, yawning. 

he looked out and froze "I'm staying..I'm staying here..?"

virgil sighed, taking his hand and bringing him down from the van "Yes, I'm sorry my little snake."

deceit took a shaky breath and stepped through the gates. 

Virgil and Remus tried to follow but the man stopped them "You two can not go any further."

"why not?"

"because you two can't adopt, and the mistress doesn't like visitors unless they take a rat with them."

"don't talk about anyone that way!" Deceit shouted. The man slapped him and Remus had to hold a snarling Virgil back.

"Go!" the man pointed towards the lady and Deceit put a hand to his stinging cheek, walked away, stunned into silence.
