Into The Night

Chapter Three

At school the next I was partnered up with a very... uh... interesting girl for a biology project. She was the same age as I was and seemed disgusted by my presence. Is it seriously impossible to make a single friend here?! 'Cause I'm starting to think that I should just keep being home schooled!

She scooted as far away from me as she could and she would start breathing through her mouth sometimes. It ticked me off. She was friends with the dumb jock and the fake friend. She must've thought that I smelled insanely weird... she had a peculiar smell herself though. I didn't seem to mind but she was making a scene kind of. She was wearing some black rimmed sunglasses that looked expensive. I turned my head away and started tapping my pencil on my desk.

"How many vowels are on that board?" She said with a hoarse voice. I slightly looked up but she snapped, "Without, looking at the board." I.looked at her as if she was crazy. "When are u going to start making sense?" I said. "When are u going to realize what you really are?" She sneered. My eyes widened as I turned away from her silently.

Who is this girl? She could be insane. Or maybe not. I can't really tell. Then she took her sunglasses off to reveal two, large, glowing, bright red eyes. I jumped in shock. Her black and electric blue hair was pulled up in a high pony tail and she was wearing red converse, black skinny jeans, and a red lacy blouse. She was drop dead gorgeous. In was jealous immediately.

We didn't talk for the rest of the class as we did our project. It was really awkward. I was relieved when the bell rang except for the part where I almost became deaf every time I hear the school bell. I hated this school no doubt and I hate mostly everyone here. I chuckled like a maniac for a couple seconds as I thought of something Luke said to me that morning when I woke up.

I over heard the girl with the glowing red eyes talking to a every pretty 5' 4, blonde, 18 year old popular girl. She was telling her to ask me who I was and try to become close to me. I didn't even know why. So as I expected, she came running over in her pink heels and a mini skirt along with a tight fitting pink short sleeve tee shirt. She had the biggest grin I have ever seen before in my life and she seemed overly excited to talk to me.

"Hi my name is Jessica! You're the new girl right? Yea I see 'cause I have never seen you before!" She exclaimed loudly. Everyone was staring at us now. Everyone. "Uh yea nice to meet u too. I'm Ember Reed." I stuck out my hand for her to shake, but instead she pulled me into a bear hug. Her grip was so tight that I couldn't even breathe considering that she thinner than a toothpick. "So, tell me about yourself. I would live to know more about a new girl! Like, where are you from? What's your real name? What so your parents do for a living?" She asked excitedly. "Alright. I was born and raised here in LakeTown, my parents are both writers, I've been home schooled all my life and I don't like people. At all." I answered while staring at her with a blank expression.
