I walked to school the next day, I took a deep breath, "you can do this. I hope today goes by fast". I thought to myself. I got a text on my phone, I looked at it and saw that it was from my mom. "Good morning baby, hope you found your first period ok, call me tonight and lemme know how your day went, I love and miss you so much honey <3" I replied and said I love you too mom". I walked into the school and went to the office to get my schedule. The lady at the front desk handed me my schedule with a map and a late pass. "And your locker number and combination are written on your schedule, ok?" she said sweetly. I smiled. "Thank you..." I said solemnly. "of course, sweetheart, have a good day"! I smiled and walked out of the office and into the hallway. I kept my head down and. Everyone was staring at me, I guess that's what it was like being the new girl. I tried to divert away from the stares and look at my schedule. I looked at my schedule for my first period. "Pardon me" I blushed from embarrassment. "Oh, I'm so sorry". I said trying not to get my butt kicked on my first freaking day. She looked me up and down. She was about 5'9 and 160 LBS, her skin was fair, and she had some freckles on her face. She had dark brown eyes and dark black hair. She was wearing a blue tank top; black leggings and her shoes were black sandals. "Hey, are you new here, I don't think I've seen you around here before"? I smiled nervously. "Is it that obvious"? I said with a slight chuckle. She smiled. "Well, a little, but it's ok, I'm Isabella Lockwood but you can call me Iz or Izzy, just don't call me Bella, I hate that". She said introducing herself with a little sass. I liked her; she was sassy yet sweet. "Nice to meet you Izzy". She looked at me confused. "And you are"? "Oh sorry, my name is Priscilla Fox, but you can call me Cilla'. She smiled. "Nice to meet you too Cilla' do you need some help with your stuff"? Izzy asked me. I mean yea I did. At least I had a new friend. "Oh yes please, what does all of this even mean"?! I asked a little rushed. "Here lemme see". I handed her my schedule so she could see. "Oh, your locker's right next to mine and my friends". I sighed in relief. "Oh really, that's great"! I said relived. "Come on follow me". "ok" I said as I followed her through the hallway. When we reached her locker there was another girl there on her phone. I assumed that's her friend she was talking about. She had long read, blonde hair, which was in two Dutch braids and silver, blue eyes. She was about the same size as Isabelle, and her skin was slightly tanner than Izzy's. She was wearing a black crop top with long sleeves, dark ripped skinny jeans, and her shoes were white high tops. Izzy looked my way to introduce me to who I assumed was her friend. "Priscilla, this is Arianna Mitchell or more commonly known as Aria, and Aria this is Priscilla Fox or more commonly known as Cilla'". She explained to Aria. I walked over to Aria with a smile. "Hi Aria". I said sweetly. She looked up from her phone and shook my hand sweetly. "Hey Cilla', are you new here"? she asked sweetly. I chuckled nervously, "Well if it isn't already obvious, yea I am". I said nervously. Aria smiled. "Well Priscilla, welcome to O.C.D where everyone is obsessive and compulsive". "Thanks Ari". Izzy looked toward Aria and noticed that my locker was there. "Oh, here's your locker". "oh". Aria noticed and moved out of the way. I walked over to my locker. "thanks". I spoke. "So, what's your first period"? "AP English with Mr. Allen". I spoke. Aria smiled. "Oh, so do I". Iz rolled her eyes. "Ugh, you guys are lucky, I have AP biology with Ms. Maren, ugh"! she gagged. Aria chuckled. "Ha, lucky you, Ms. Maren's kinda creepy". "Um, yea, she talks so quietly you can barely hear anything she's saying, and if you dare to interrupt her, she just stares at you, she doesn't say anything, she just stares". I chuckled. "Wow that's crazy"! Izzy looked at my eyes and noticed that they were purple. "Oh my gosh Priscilla your eyes are so beautiful! Are those contacts"?! I chuckled "no, those are my natural eyes". "They are so pretty" Aria said sweetly. "Thanks" I said. After the bell rang I found my class and walk in and went up to the teacher's desk. He looked over at me "Oh, hi, you must be the new student". Yes sir, I'm Priscilla Fox" he smiled, "feel free to take any open seat, and feel free to ask me any questions about the lesson" I nodded. "Thank you" I said to him. "of course, welcome to Memphis". He said as I took my seat in the front row on the far right. Then the tardy bell rang just as another student walked in and walked up to the teacher. That's when He walked in. His scent hit me like an avalanche..."Hello Dallas, nice of you to finally join us". he rolled his eyes. "What's your excuse today Mr. Marteney" He yawned. "Sorry teach, overslept". He said sarcastically, the teacher rolled his eyes, "take your seat Dallas". He said as he got up from his desk and walked to the front of the classroom. Dallas made his way over to me. I thought it in my head, "oh my god, does he know what I am, I can smell his scent from a million miles away. "wolf" the teacher began to talk, I diverted away from the elephant in the room to listen. "I'm going to be your professor for the rest of the semester if that wasn't obvious already". Then he looked at this girl behind me named Ivana "texting" on her phone. "Miss, Westbrook"! she looked up at him. "what"? she said with attitude. "There is no texting in this classroom, bring your phone up here now"! he yelled strictly. She rolled her eyes. "I wasn't texting". She scoffed. "Oh, you weren't, well I suppose the object that's sitting on your desk that's the proximate width of a credit card isn't a cellphone now is it, bring it here"! she smiled snarky. "Actually Allen, this is an iPhone, not a cellphone". She said trying to show off her wealth. The whole class busted out laughing. "Miss, Westbrook you're really pushing your luck, bring it here"! she sighed annoyedly. "I wasn't texting, I was downloading duo..."! he sighed of frustration. "Miss Westbrook, hand, it, over"! He said intimidatingly. She rolled her eyes. "Gosh, so uptight"! she said sarcastically as she walked over to his desk, put her phone there, walked back over to her seat and sat down. "thank you miss Westbrook, now as I was as I was saying, this is an advanced English class which means if you don't know how to write a strong essay, to read and comprehend, or spell tyrannosaurus from the very top of your head, you're going to have some very major problems, may I need to remind you that switching to regular English, or what I like to call the dumb, dumb class, is still an option. "Dude, I can't even spell photosynthesis". Dallas said in a joking tone. The class laughed again. Mr. Allen rolled his eyes. "Funny Mr. Marteney, very funny, now class I'm going to be handing out copies of Elle Wiesel's Night and I want each of you to give a full-page translation about how his emotions change throughout the book". He said sternly. when Dallas sat next to me, he didn't even say anything... "I guess I'll just play it cool". I thought to myself. "I thought this was an all-human school. Are there more, he must know what I am...better just keep my mouth shut for the time being"? I thought to myself again. The entire class, he ignored me for the most part, when I tried to peek at him, I realized how massive this guy was, he was well over 6'0 tall. But.... he was beautiful... his eyes were dark blue with a hint of silver; he had a scar on his right cheek from what looked like a cut from a fight. His face was carved, I'd hate to admit it, but I found him very attractive. His skin glowed in the fluorescent lights, I noticed his knuckles had scuff marks on them...and his hair was dark brown almost black. He was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. After the bell rang, He set his book down on the desk and made eye contact with me. "I've got my eye on you...bloodsucker". He walked away. I gasped. "Yep, he definitely knows". I thought to myself. The rest of the day, I tried to avoid him as much as I could. I had this leery feeling that I was being watched. When the day was finally over, tried my best to just exit without running into Dallas. "Ugh...". I sighed. "I think I lost him...finally". "In a hurry their bloodsucker"? I gasped and looked up. "Dallas"! He walked up to me and looked seething. "Would you quit calling me that?! Especially in public"!! I shouted as I glared at him. "Good god he's tall, I can barley come up to his chest". He chuckled. "I'm sorry, am I making you uncomfortable there batsy"? He said in a teasing tone. I rolled my eyes. "That's even worse". I said crossing my arms. "Alright, fair enough, you know my name. "What's yours fangs"? I rolled my eyes again. "My name is PRISCILLA...not fangs". I said as I sighed. "Look I don't want any trouble, okay"? He crossed his arms. "Why don't you start by telling me why you're at my school. How many more of you are there"? He asked rudely. I looked down sadly. "It's just me, I just moved here and transferred to the school, I have no one else with me". He rolled his eyes snarky like. "Yeah right". "I'm being serious". I shouted. "Whatever. Where I your nest or coven or whatever". "I'm telling you...I'm here alone jackass...just leave me alone". "Not so fast". He threatened. "Just stay out of my way, and I'll stay out of yours"! I shouted. It was about a 10-minute walk to my apartment nearby. I made it there in two. I would only be staying here for the school year, until everything dies down. I had never been away from my family like this...I hated it. "I couldn't believe the nerve of that brute". I sighed. "Just breathe...remember, this is only temporary Priscilla...you can do this". I said to myself calmly. I decided to call my mom before she got worried. "Mom"? "Cilla'? Hey baby! How was your first day honey"? "It was ok..." I said as I rolled my eyes thinking about Dallas. "What's wrong? You sound upset; did something happen baby". "No, I just miss you and home". I said as I took a deep breath to keep my self from crying. "I know baby, I'm sorry, hopefully things will calm down around here. You can call my any time you want baby until things are sorted out". "I know". "Are sure nothing else happened, none of the human kids gave you any trouble did they..."? "No, I'm just really home sick is all".
"Ok baby, well, i'll call you later, i love you you".
