An Awfully Big Adventure I

A/N: I split this chapter into two different parts cause it was almost 8 pages so here is the first half.

N.A.Zeno - Becky honestly stated something, but Vincent still slapped her anyway.


------------------------------------


“Well what do you have to say for yourself?”

“You told me to shut up and stay down, not keep quiet and stay back.”

And without a second to register what had happened he slapped me across the face. My right cheek started to sting and burn at the same time, I brought my hand up to my cheek I saw it being done in the movies a couple of times, I had never been slapped across the face before so it seemed fitting. Why am I even ranting on about some over dramatic actress? I just stared at Vincent, straight in the eyes, not saying a thing; I hope the look on my face is expressionless. He was staring back at me with a neutral look on his face. I wonder if he even cared that he hit me? Most likely not! I didn’t even hear the footsteps come down the stairs that we were standing in front of.

“Becky, you forgot your bag in my - Umm… What’s going on out here?”

Gideon asked gently while shifting his eyes back and forth over Vincent and myself. I wonder if he heard what happened.

“Nothing! I was just coming to get my bag.”

I said rudely grabbing out of his hands, and running straight to my room. Leaving them there before any more questions could be asked.
I just had to get away from Vincent. He made me so angry I wanted to hurt him or blow something up… I will slap him twice as hard next time I see him! I slammed my bedroom door shut and locked it with the key that was in my bag, lazily throwing my bag in the corner and then throwing myself on my comfy bed; I was laying on my back staring blankly at the ceiling, now I would like to say that my mind was going a-mile-a-minute but lets face it my mind was as blank as my expression.

I can’t believe Vincent slapped me. Am I really that bad? Oh shit after dinner I have to see Gideon in his office, is he gonna ask me what happened? Or will this whole thing be blown over by then? I guess I should get ready for dinner. I got up and took my uniform off; can you believe it I’m the only current student in this god forsaken place and they make me wear a uniform, well it is kind of cute, a black pinafore, black tights, and a white long sleeved shirt underneath, and white ballerina shoes.
Ok well since I don’t have to wear that, maybe I will wear a black skirt that sits just above my knees and a white tank top white knee high socks and black Mary-Jane slippers.

Dinner was dragging along painfully slowly. I was late and it didn’t go unnoticed by Jeremy, as I sat down beginning to eat he asked me how my studies were going I answered with a mouthful of sweet potato

“Becky! Don’t speak with your mouth full, swallow then talk.”

Demeter scolded, that old bat always found a problem with me; maybe it had something to do with the cat and eyebrow incident? Becky! Don’t eat with your mouth full, Becky! Don’t slouch, sit up straight, Becky! Put a jacket on your nipples are showing, Becky! You’ve set my cat on fire! If its not one thing its something else I cant seem to make that woman happy.

“Yes, miss” I said after washing down the potato with a sip of water.

“There is a carnival being held in the park this weekend it should be fun.”

Julia announced, she was a nice lady blonde hair her boobs were smaller then mine, a straight figure, it reminded me of a males body, her face was normal looking her nose was slightly hooked and it did not suit her face, still attractive though. Wow, did I just think that?, she was as tall as Amon, Asriel, Damon, Vincent, Gideon, Remus and Romulus all stood pretty tall at 6’ft. Michael, Jeremy and Demeter stood about 5’10 and I was 5’ft.

Every one was eating and talking Jeremy and Demeter were whispering things to each other that was suspicious. Vincent, Amon and Damon were debating about something that was normal. Julia and Michael were talking that wasn’t very interesting. Asriel and Romulus were looking at me and then started talking again, Remus was focused on eating, and that left Gideon who was sitting next to me looking handsome as ever with a smirk on his face.

“What’s wrong you seem so serious? Not like you at all.”

He said quietly, as he ate his food, I don’t know how he did it but he made eating a steak very sexy. I watched him as he slightly struggled to cut the steak with a blunt… wait what did Demeter call it? ... Ah yes a SHARP steak knife 'that could cut through anything', but the knife in question looked as though it wouldn’t cut butter. His brow was furrowed as he finally cut the steak but still managed to lose a potato under the table, so sexy.

“Just observing.” I said back, while eating my food slowly.

“You missed Jeremy’s announcement, he said we would be holding the Witches Social Ball here this year.”

“Oh that’s great! Because I certainly don’t get bored here.”

“There will be plenty of rambunctious teenagers you can amuse yourself with.”

I just stared at him I think he new the way that might of sounded because he started to blush, he might as well said I will have them put the horny teenagers in a separate room and you can go for your life, go get yours Becky!

“Becky you’ll come with us to the carnival on Saturday?”

Julia asked she and Michael seemed kind of hopeful, they try to be older siblings to me, or parents not sure which one but it annoys me.

“I don’t know, maybe.”

“Why not, it’s not like you have friends to keep you company”

Said the worlds biggest prick Vincent. I was tempted to give him that slap I owed him but I wasn’t sure if I was ready to explain to witnesses why I slapped him.

“Your not one to talk, you start a fight with everyone at this table nearly everyday....”

I felt a knee nudge mine, perhaps to tell me to stop talking, I took the hint and continued to eat with a cheeky smirk directed at Vincent.
