Chapter 8-
Desiree walked into her classroom and sat down in a seat in the back. Her eyes looked down at her desk as other kids started entering the room. She did hear a voice she recognized and glanced up for a second, Ryan O’connor, the boy that had messed with her since the day she entered kindergarten. It seemed his whole life revolved around teasing her. Sometimes though, it was just teasing, it got even worse.
Ryan O’connor was the start of the middle schools football team. He had many advantages over her but in the end never used them. The entire football team, minus Izzy, had some little thing against her, she didn’t understand why. Ryan had always hated Desiree for being a ‘mutie’ but that still wasn’t fully determined, yet.
As everyone settled down Desiree looked up to the front and saw a young teacher, possibly new. She knew the young lady was nervous, and smiled at this. “Hi, my names Ms. Reynolds, I will be your English teacher this year.” She tells them, no accent, Desi made note. This year in this class we will be reading several novels, one that is included is the Diary of Anne Frank, has anybody heard of her?” Desiree rose her hand, alone with two others. “Would you like to tell us what its about Miss..”
“Desiree LeBeau”
“Miss LeBeau, what’s it about?”
“Anne Frank was a Jew an’ durin World War II da Nazi’s took over the country she live in. Her an’ her family went int’ hiding cuz Hitler was killin Jews off t’ make da perfect race” She says.
“Very good”
“Ah bet she knows how that feels, her bein a mutie and all”
“Dere hasn’ been a holocaust of mutant sugah, but oui, ah know how it beh t’ feel lahke nuttin cuz of y’ an’ dat group y’ hang wit’. “ Desiree tells them. “bein a mutant, ah don’ know what it lahke yet, ah know ah might be one” She says “If y’ did y’ research sugah, y’ would see dat it don’ happen till puberty, which in Y’r case we never know if y’ end up as one cuz y’ never gonna hit day stage in lahfe” Desiree says with her eyes narrowing with each word spoken.
Several of the kids laughed at him after the speech and Desiree grinned proudly. The class soon ended and she walked out to the corner where Izzy and her were supposed meet. She was smiling, until Ryan approached her. “Look LeBeau, Ah don’t like how ya dissed me in front of the class”
“An’ ah don’ lahke how y’ keep harassin moi everywhere ah go” She tells him
“You deserve to die mutie,” He growls and steps forward.
“I suggest ya back away mate” an all to familiar voice stated and then took a step in front of Desiree. “Ya ok Doll?” Izzy questioned.
“Oui” she says and looks around him to see a few people gathering.
“Watch ya gal Allerdyce, wouldn’t want nothing to happen to her now would you?”
“If ya threatenin her then it applyin to me too O’connor” Izzy spat out with his eyes narrowed.
“I run this school, keep her under control” Ryan warns and walks away.
“Ah’m sorreh” Desi says.
“No need to be Doll, he’s messed with ya since, well the day we met”
“Ah know but ah kinda provoked this one”
“How?”
“Ah told him dat he probably won’t ever hit puberty t’ find out whether ‘r not he gonna be a mutant” And Izzy laughed, and when he laughed, he cackled, which eventually made Desi start laughing and they both received stares as they walked down the hallway. As they enter the computer class they sat together in the back where there was a pair of computers. After the bell rang all the kids fell silent as a large man walked up to the front.
“This is Computer Technology, I’m Coach Simmons” He says his voice was deep and Desi glanced at Izzy who was smirking a bit.. “Mr. Allerdyce I’m glad you decided to join us on the first day of class” He said.
“Aye, why wouldn’t I mate!” Izzy says and laughs a bit.
“Considering you were gone almost half the year last year..”
“They were excused..” Izzy said with his eyes narrowed.
“Whose your girlfriend next to you?”
“This is ..”
“Desiree” she says quickly. “He calls me..”
“Doll”
“I don’t want any disruptions in my class,” he pauses and looks at the list. “Miss LeBeau”
“Ah won’ get any m’sieur” she tells him smiling.
“It always seems to be a different case with your kind” The teacher said.
“That isn’t fair” Izzy said and narrowed his eyes at his coach. “She..”
“Isaac, get to work, both of you” he says and hands them a sheet of paper.

After the class they separated again but met up for lunch, two classes later. The two of them grabbed a small lunch and sat at a table together. As they started to eat another 8th grader walked up to them. She had long blonde hair and blue eyes. She wasn’t too short but wasn’t exactly tall. “Hi Izzy”
“Diana..” Izzy said and took a bite of his food.
“Are you trying out for the football team today?”
“Aye”
“Well, us cheerleaders are each looking for a football player to represent, if, and I bet you will, you make the team, would you like me to be your cheerleader?”
“No thanks sheila” he tells her and Desi looks down trying not to laugh.
“And whose she?”“Sheila look”
“No means no” Desi glares at her.
“I don’t listen to demons”
Desiree slammed her hands down on the table causing everyone near to jump, including Izzy. “Ah am NOT a demon!!” She screams breathing heavily, her eyes narrowed. “Ah am sick of ya’ll callin meh dat an’ ah want it t’ stop!” she continues “Ya’ll called moi that since ah started school an’ ah’m sick of it!”
“Doll, Doll, c’mon” Izzy says practically dragging her out of the cafeteria. “Doll calm down” He tells her cupping her face with his hands. Tears begin to spill down her face and he pulls her in for a hug. “Its ok Doll, they wont mess with ya”
“Dey messed wit’ meh Iz, Ah’m sick of it, ah don’ wear meh glasses cuz ah don’ wanna hide behind dim…but when dey say it Iz, ah can feel dat hatred an’..ah can’t always control it, ah can’t keep what dey feel out of meh Iz” She tells him. He pulls away and rest his forehead on hers.
“Doll…do ya remember what Izzy tell ya?” She nods “Best friends forever right?” She nods “Through thick and thin, good or bad, no matter..”
“Da distance near or far we gonna be dere together no matter what” She finishes shutting her eyes. He lifts her chin up and they open again.
“I mean that Doll” He tells her. “I promise”
“Ah do t’ Izzy, Ah do t’ “ she tells him and he wipes her tears away from her cheeks. “Merci”
“No Need to thank me Doll…No need” he whispers and walks with her to P.E.

The class wasn’t hard, they sat there for about 15 minutes listening to the coach talk about the rules and everything and then were put into teams to play basketball. The team leaders were nobody that she knew and she stood there next to Izzy until he was picked and waited. She was the last one and was placed on Izzy’s team, although he was the only one who seemed to be happy about it.
As they started to play she stood on the side line not really wanting to go in. Thankfully she got her wish and didn’t have to play. “Doll..” Izzy says softly after class. “you ok?”
“Oui, ah didn’ wanna play” she tells him with a small smile. “Don’ worry ‘bout moi chere” she says trying to reassure him.
They separated for the next few classes before meeting up to go to science. That seemed to be going by quicker than expected and the final bell rang for them to leave. Izzy waited outside the door for Des. “Ready for try-outs?” he questions.
“Jus’ as long as ah don’ have t’.” She tells him grinning. They walk down to where the P.E dressing rooms were and she waited outside until he came back out in shorts and a t-shirt . The two of them walked out to the large football field and separated again. Desi sat in the stand at the bottom to where she could see Izzy.
About 30 minutes into the try-outs session a group of girls came up and sat around Desi. “Are you Izzy’s girlfriend?” one of them asked.
“Non” Desi tells them shaking her head at them.
“He is really good lookin’.” the girl grins.
“Of course, and that accent, I love English..”
“He’s Aussie” Desi tells them not looking back.
“Same thing” She says rolling her eyes.
“Non, it ain’t sugah, Aussies are from Australia, da English are da people from England”
“Whatever” the 8th grader says. “You think you can hook me up with him?”
“Non”“Why not”
“Cuz ah don’ do dat…he’s mon ami, if y’ wanna talk t’ him din y’ do it…cuz ah ain’t settin’ him up wit ya’ll…” she practically hisses.
“You could still hook her up you know…Izzy needs someone at his side for the games, I already know he’ll make the team”
“Ah go t’ his games wit’ him.”
“Oh someone’s jealous”
“Ah am not”
“Then I’ll ask him out”
“Go ‘head he gonna say no”
“You don’t know that demon girl”
“Don’ call meh dat” she tells them with a straight face.
“Your just mad because he would NEVER date a mutie, he can only ever be friends with one, its like a given” Diana spoke up. Desiree slashed around and glared at her. “Come on Sam, Dani, we’re done here. She’s no use” All three girls stood up and left Desi full of anger .
--------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
Practice ended not long after and the two met up for the last time that day. “What’d the sheila’s want?” He asked Desi as they walked towards the front of the school.
“For meh t’ ask y’ out f’r dim”she states
“and?”
“Ah told dim non”
“Good” Izzy says wrinkling his nose “Not my type” he tells her.
“Ah told dim dat too” She giggles “An’ din dey say dat ah was jus’ mad cuz y’ would never want a mutie”
“They don’t know me Doll” he says “I’d rather have a mutant Sheila that was cool din a normal sheila that was a bloody..”
“Watch ya mouth Isaac”
“Pa?”
“Aye, told ya I would be here…Des, ya Ma’ and Pa’ called, Ya gotta stay over at our house tonight, gonna stop bye and get some clothes for ya real quick but they leaving”
“Ok!” Desi says and looks at Izzy smiling, he grinned back and then the two took off towards the car.
“What have I gotten myself into?” John questions himself. “Lord help me”
