ALIEN on EARTH

Six

The first day at school for Aliena was something she was hoping for. Damien hadn't really said much to her after the incident yesterday.She had no idea why he was the one upset when he was the one who said harsh things to her. If anyone deserves to be fuming right now, it was her and not him.

Damien dropped her in school and took her to the necessary authorities as she got her class. After he showed her to her class he left without saying a word to her.

Aliena stood in front of the class as she watched him leave. She didn't understand why he was angry and she wouldn't leave the matter to continue like this. Not knowing if she can survive in this new place on her own without Damien.

She took a deep breath before opening the door. The moment she entered, she dodged a book that almost hit her in the face. Good thing she saw that coming. She stared at her class and the sight wasn't glorious at all.

She examined the class and saw there were different categories of students. Some were flirting with each other. Some were making up their faces and painting their lips. Some were  bullying some people. Some were taking videos of the whole thing. Some were studying. Some were sleeping and some were ignoring the whole thing. She wasn't even sure which category she would fit in.

She looked around to see if there was any empty seat around and she was glad to see one behind the last row beside the window. She quickly took her seat before she gets injured by flying materials.

She looked around to see if she was missing any category and yes she did. Outside the classroom, a guy walked in as some of the girls screamed loud. 

Aliena was wondering if he was from another planet but he didn't look like any one she knew in her planet. His tinted gold and black hair was nicely tended to and the color of his eyes were golden brown. He was so handsome that she found herself admiring him. This is surprising. She has never felt amazed at anything in this world but a guy walked in and she was already attracted to him? that's weird.

The guy walked up to her as he sat down next to her totally ignoring her presence. Aliena didn't know why but all the attraction she felt for him died at his attitude. She looked at the girls who were still pushing themselves towards him. He completely ignored them as he took his headphone and placed it on his ears.

"What a jerk!" Aliena muttered to herself.

The teacher walked in with her blue  shirt gown and her heels made some annoying sound against the tiles. Her brown hair was packed in a ponytail. Her grey eyes appear to be big in those brown glasses of hers. Aliena didn't know why but she hated the teacher already. She should probably be in her mid forties.

Many of her classmates groaned and it was obvious she wasn't the only one having that hatred.

The teacher ignoring the groaning of the students marched forward her eyes glancing at each of the student before her eyes landed on me. "You must be the new student". She said. "Please come in front of the class and introduce yourself".

I sat in my seat pretending not to understand English.

"Miss Aliena did you hear what i just said?". She asked her voice going a pitch higher than normal.

I grudgingly stood up as i went in front of the class as directed. "Hello, I'm Aliena Daniels and I...." Hope i don't die before my time in this class. "Happy to be here".

"Is it true you're Damien's cousin?". At the mention my supposed to be cousin's name, my seat mate looked up at me removing his headphone as if waiting to hear my answer.

"um....Yes". I replied.

"Go back to your seat". The teacher ordered. I gracefully went back to my seat as some eyes were throwing me daggers. I almost tripped because of those eyes but good thing i held the table for support.

"My name is Mrs Dancer".

"Like the name of Santa Claus's reindeer". One of the male students said earning chuckles from the rest of the classmates.

It was surprising how Mrs Dancer didn't feel bothered about their critics. If i was the one i would have frozen them but i admire her courage. All of a sudden, my hatred for her turned into admiration.

"Let the class captain come with me to my office. There are some things i need to give to you to share with the class". The teacher said as she walked out and immediately one of the girls studying followed after her.

I don't know why but i feel she looked familiar but i couldn't tell where i might have seen her before.

"is it true?". The guy asked. I looked around the class, bending over the window to see of there was something he saw and was talking to but there was nothing. So who was he talking to?. "Are you really Damien's cousin?". He asked his attention focused on me. I guess his first question was directed to me.

I nodded. "That's strange". He said before going back to do whatever he was doing.

I ignored him although it was nice knowing there was something about my life that could make him talk to me.

Just as i was about focusing on something else before the arrival of whatever the teacher needed to give to us, i saw something like particles of tiny  light emitting from his hand. As if feeling it, he clenched his palm into a fist and immediately the light went off.

I quickly looked away as i buried my head inside the book in front of me. That light looks really familiar but how?

Who the hell is he?
