Shadows In Durango

*****Sofia's POV*****

It was fair to say that this mornings journey to school was a little different...

I clutched at my backpack strap on my left shoulder, keeping my head low and my eyes fixed on the pavement beneath my feet.

Vincent had insisted on taking me to school and I wasn't prepared for the amount of students whose eyes I would greet just by getting out of the same car as Vincent and Daryl. "Ignore them, they do this to us every morning." Daryl laughs, hauling his stuff out of the trunk of the car while Vincent gets out - not bothering to even bring a bag with him. "Why do they always stare and whisper? It's awkward." I mumble, and within seconds, Vincent whistles loudly and waves his arms in a signal for everyone around us to move off somewhere else. To my shock horror, the students actually begin to shuffle their feet away from our area of the parking lot, as my mouth hangs open and I look between them both.

"That was a little rude!" I comment, as Vincent groans and gives me a weird look.

"Make up your mind? Are you uncomfortable with them being here and staring or not?" He snaps, as I grow flustered.

"Well yeah but..." I begin to say, before he cuts me off again.

"Well then I did you a favour, they are gone? You should be saying thanks!" He deadpans, as I realise in that moment that it was useless to argue with him.

I learned quickly that he also wasn't a morning person, unlike Daryl, who was a lot more chipper and normal.

Without another word, Vincent turns and walks off, almost as if our presence alone was now pissing him off.

"This is what he does, he eventually comes around after ten." Daryl shakes his head, as we both stand and watch Vincent's back as he walks off.

"He's a delight." I nod, causing Daryl to laugh which makes me smile.
