The devil's girl

This is what hell looks like. The large antique building of Kelly Rose prep school lay in front of me. Plus, not only do I have normal lessons here, I have to spend the rest of my social life here. I mean, what were my parents thinking a boarding school. They're always so worried about me, the wild card, the fiesty one in the family. But I can't change that I'm human I have emotions. So what if I get angry it just means that I care about things.
At least the staff seem nice as they hurry to get me inside and to my room. This place is an elitist school and since my parents are both pretty important people with my dad being a senator and my mother being a member of parliament. I was stuck here until I could as they put it 'Overcome my emotional responses and grow up'. Yep, my parents definitely don't get points for actually caring about their children. Well, actually its just me, my older brother is the angel of the family training to be just like dad and my little sister is just a star. She shows so much potential to follow in mums footsteps and become important. Sadly, I feel nothing towards parliament or being 'important'. I just want a nice family and someone who loves me, is that too much to ask.
At least my room was nice here, it was done up in green and silver. And had a four poster bed, an antique dresser and an ensuite. Or at least it did until I was moved. Apparently some mix up, too bad but when I walked into my new room my heart flew. Red and gold decorated the room making it feel full of life and passion. The furniture was done in alternating red and gold tones. It was all so regal so beautiful. They gave me my timetable and a list of rules and how things run here then left me to my unpacking. I started with my clothes arranging them so they were all neatly stored. Luckily there was a bookshelf stocked with books, I managed to find a space to squeeze in the few that I had brought with me. I loved reading it helped me to escape my parents drab perfection and fly over the oceans, even dance with the devil himself.
I set the alarm clock for 6 so that I would be showered and dressed for seven when breakfast would be served. We then had a ten minute break to sort out our rooms before heading to our classes at ten past eight. I'd double checked my schedule before I went to sleep. Te next thing I know the alarms going off and I'm dressed ready for breakast. This is when the nerves kick in and all I can think about is what if people don't like me and where am I going to sit as the butterflies in my stomach try to break through the barrier of skin to escape into the world.
Walking into the crowded hall I almost burst with anxiety. Luckily a girl walked up to me and introduced herself as Tammy, apparently she was in the room opposite me and she would be in my photography class. She took me under her wing for breakfast and introduced me to all of her friends. Grabbing my bag I walked to my first lesson well, at least thats where I thought I was going instead I ended up at a dead end in the opposite side of the building. Just bloody typical. Glancing back down at the map I heard a boy from behind me ask me if I was lost and needed help. Turning round to say yes I saw the hottest boy in the world. He had black hair that glinted a dark red in some lightings and dark hazel eyes. He took my map from me and told me to follow him. So I did I mean what else could I do I was lost. We didn't really make a lot of conversation he just asked me what lesson I had and then made a murmur under his breath when he heard me say photography. "Excuse me, but I didn't hear what you said" he glanced over at me and smirked. "Cute very cute. Whats your name ?" He was hot and he can handle sarcasm. "Jemima but my friends call me Jem" "Well, Jem this is your room" Determined to have a little fun I looked up at him as I opened the door and said " I never said you were friend". Winking I walked into the classroom. The teacher came over and introduced himself as Mr Wilson but most of the students just call him Sam. He pointed out a spare seat and gave me a textbook detailing how to use a Pentax K1000 camera. Luckily my seat allowed me to sit next to Tammy and a friend of hers on my left called Jamie. The lesson practically flew by and then it was off to English Literature. Tammy wasn't in my class so James walked me to my room, he introduced me to his friend Brad as James left for his room across the hall. Turning around I saw 'him' watching me from the corridor. I started walking towards him when the bell rang and Brad pulled me into class.
I couldn't stop thinking about 'him'. Luckily we were just watching Romeo and Juliet so I was free to daydream about him. His cockiness, his intense eyes and his smirk. That smirk just reran over and over in my mind. When class finished I waited outside the door for Brad, to go to lunch. When a hand wrapped around my waist and pulled me into a empty class room. It was him, he let me go and I stepped back from him. I turned to him "You never told me your name" He just gave me that classic smirk. "Guess" He wanted me to guess. I mean come on there is no way I could guess his name. "Come on, what do I look like to you ?" I stepped up into his personal space leaned into him and whispered in his ear "The devil". I could hear his breath start getting heavier as he pulled me against him. "Good guess but thats not my name. I'll find you tomorrow for another chance" I looked up and he was gone I felt the absence acutely which surprised me. I felt so weird, I feel like I'm in love with him and that scares me. But now I have to figure out his name, I guess I could ask Tammy what his name is. Hurrying into the lunch hall I found our table almost instantly. Sitting down I asked Tammy if she knew his name, she looked at me like I was out of my mind and told me to stay away from him cause he's trouble. Luckily, she told me his name was Brax Anderson. She then went on to talk about some girls ex boyfriend who was sleeping around. All I could think about was that tomorrow everything would change.
I made it through the rest of lessons and dinner and decided to hang out in my room for a while. I put my phone on charge and dug out my pyjamas from under my pillow. Now all cosy I grabbed my book and read for hours about some guy who went off to war and his girlfriend waited for him. It was so romantic but sad at the same time. I love romance novels, they're all I've ever wanted. The fairytale.
Turning my light out I checked my alarm was turned on and snuggled up in bed falling asleep almost instantly. Morning came way to fast and then lessons went so slowly because all I could think about was him. His face, his hair, his eyes even his name whizzed around in my mind causing me to learn absolutely nothing in history or geography. Lunch finally arrived but I didn't feel to good. I felt sick, really sick my head hurt, my stomach hurt even my back hurt. I spoke to the nurse and she gave me some paracetamol to take and told me I should spend the rest of the day in bed. Only to happy to oblige I told Tammy and went to my room. Getting back into my pyjamas I slid into bed and fell into a fitful sleep where all I thought about was Brax. It was driving me insane, ill in fact. I woke up at around five ish, hearing a knock on the door. I saw someone open the door and come sit on the other side of the bed. Turning my head slightly I saw Brax. "What are you doing here Brax I'm ill and its your fault" He looked confused and hurt he scooted closer to me saying "How can I be the reason your ill" I felt tears well in my eyes and threaten to spill over as I told him "All I can think about is you. Your eyes, your hair, even your smirk. You haunt my every thought even my dreams. I don't understand." He wiped my tears as they blazed hot trails down my face. "Your in love Jem, you are my soul mate. I will never let you go but before that I need to tell you about myself. I'm just going to come out and say it. I'm the Prince of Hell, the devils son if you will. I should leave you to feel better you should in a minute, its the effect of our bond. If your away from me for too long your body will react to it negatively. Now I better leave you to think about what I've said. Just know that I love you my little Jem". Huh, um... I have no idea how to react to that at all. The devil. I mean he can't be serious it must be the illness but I feel a lot better right now but that could have been anything not the fact that we're soul mates and his presence soothes me. But it makes sense plus thats all I have ever wanted not the devil part obviously but the soul mates. Someone who will love me forever and I guess it would explain my feelings and the way I reacted to him. Urgh, this was just all so confusing, I'm ill I'll just go to sleep and deal with this in the morning.
I someone managed to sleep in until midday which felt good plus it was a saturday so I didn't really need to be up. A sudden burst of nausea left me running to the bathroom. Maybe no lunch then. Maybe a shower would make me feel better. Diving in the hot shards of water relaxed me as all the tension from my body just ran away as well as all the stress from things with Brax. Stepping out I still felt slightly ill but I wasn't going to throw up again so I decided that a walk might be a good idea. Clear my thoughts. I tried to think of a million different ways to end it with Brax but every one made me feel devastated that I might lose him and came with a wave of nausea that could only be kept down by happy thoughts about him.
Turning a corner I smacked into something hard and solid stepping back I expected to look up at one if the stone statues I'd seen around the garden however what I saw were burning eyes and a very lean muscular body. I felt a hand slip around my waist as another pulled the hair away from my ear as he whispered into my ear "Hello sweetheart, how are you feeling this morning?" Thrills ran up and down my body as his breath warmed my ear, I found it hard to breathe let alone tell him that I felt so much better when I was with him. 'Oops honey did I forget to tell you that I can occasionally read your mind '. The shock coursed through me as I heard the words echo in my mind. Determined to try myself I thought about Brax and how much I want to tell him I love him. I picture the words in my mind and then picture them moving into his. I heard a gasp as I opened my eyes knowing that he had got the message. In less than two seconds I felt his lips urgently press against mine as my words were echoed back in my head. We broke apart, he grabbed my hand and told me he wanted to show me something. We walked for a while before coming upon a gorgeous little brook with a cute white bridge going over the brook leading on to a path which went up to a small white and silver pavilion. Brax pulled me along the bridge kissing me right in the middle then lifting me into his arms and carrying me to the pavilion. I started laughing but wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head against his chest. I can hear his heart beat and it makes me feel safe and loved. As we walked into the pavilion I noticed that someone had put a cd player in there which was now playing Vivaldi quietly in the background. Tears welled in my eyes as Brax set me on the floor. He looked up at me, then seeing the tears pulled me into him and asked desperately why I was crying. What was wrong ? "Nothing, I'm just so happy with you here and everything is so perfect. I have never felt so special or loved before. I want to be with you forever Brax because I...I..I love you Brax I love you" I started crying even harder as I saw him get down on one knee in front of me "Then I hope you will do me the honour of marrying me. I can't live without you, you are my soulmate and my other half. We will be together forever. We don't need to get married right away just promise me you'll be mine forever because I don't think I could handle it if you turn me down." I tried to dry my tears but they just kept flowing I grabbed his arm and pulled him up holding out my hand so he could slide the beautiful solitaire diamond onto my finger. What were my parents going to think ? Well, who cares I love him and he loves me. Our love will last all eternity.
From Hell with love
