Bella, a young woman with long black hair with some silver in the ends of her hair and resilient sky-blue eyes walked into the classroom straight to her desk. Bella ignores the whispers about her as she walks by. She didn't care much about the rumors or gossip about her; She guesses the reason is that she's well-liked amongst some of the boys here at the school. They call her beautiful because of her figure and eyes that can pierce through any soul. Bella thought she was just average looking – she had some flaws.

She had a huge scar on her back from an accident when she was eight years young concerning one of her guardians' co-worker. She did have a bite on her wrist as well from a snake when she was working for her brothers' girlfriends flower shop. She also had a small scar on her neck from another childhood accident. She doesn't remember it.

Shaking her head from those thoughts, Bella arrives at her desk and sits in it – taking out the homework she did the other night for this class. She was usually early for class, so she could finish anything that needed to be done. She begins to hum 'No Surrender' quietly. Taking a deep breath, the song held special meaning to her especially after the accident several months ago. Her brother, Zack, deeply loved Aerith, they stayed together for many years and Aerith took care of Bella like she was her own, but because of some drunk driver – the beautiful woman her brother loved was gone.

Tearing up gently, she quickly blinked away the tears forming before her classmates began piling in, pursing her lips tightly as the bell rang loudly to let the students know they should be in class. After about five minutes on taking roll, the door opens and everyone, except Bella, looks up seeing a young man walking in. Feeling a gaze at her, Bella decides to look up and gasps quietly at his figure. Bella could see his tan skin and his cerulean eyes. Spikey blond tresses that caressed his eyes just perfectly. Her heart stops, and her breath caught her throat. A flush of red paints against her cheeks and her ears go red.

'What... what was that just now...' The young woman thought to herself as she puts a hand to her chest feeling her heart pound against it. 'Did my body just... connect with his mentally? Like... love at first sight?' She continues thinking, swallowing hard. Finally breathing, she puts her head down trying to focus on her work, but she couldn't.

It's like – his gaze a hold of her. He had her trapped, she couldn't move. Couldn't think. Couldn't do anything without his gaze at her.

"Ah, you must be Ven." The teacher greeted happily. "I'm Mr. Hawkins, a pleasure to have you English III."

Bella closed her eyes, afraid if he speaks, she would collapse from not being able to breath. "Thank you for having me here, Mr. Hawkins," spoke Ven, his voice smooth.

There it was, she literally died a little more inside from the lack of oxygen. His voice was so – enchanting that it could lull thoughts into her brain. Trying to breathe again, a voice knocked her back into reality.

"Ms. Fair," Mr. Hawkins spoke, Bella snaps her head up finally back to reality trying to look at her teacher instead of the student. "If it's alright with you, I will excuse you from class of course, would you show Mr. Duncan around?"

"Y-yeah!" said Bella standing up shaking her head, trying to keep her focus. "No problem." As she walks towards the front of her class, she felt her heart speed up once more. As she neared him, she smiles to him. "Shall we?"

"Of course," He nods following her out of the classroom, Bella ignoring Mr. Hawkins smiling devilishly at her.

"So, as you know," Bella's voice began speaking to the newcomer to the school in the quiet hallways. "This is the main hallway to get to class and the elevator to get to the second floor to lunch and there is the art and music department that way, math and science down this hallway and behind us are the English and biology departments." Bella continues explaining thoroughly to Ven. "Any questions?"

"No, I think I got it, Bella." He replies back and smiles. She lightly smiles back. "But- I was wondering?"

"Hm?"

"Why did Mr. Hawkins choose you to show me around instead of someone else?"

Bella chuckles. "Because he knows I will make sure everyone knows everything about the school we go to, it's not all that bad of a school once you get used to it, but you need to know the right people if you want to survive." Bella went quiet at the end of the sentence.

"What happened?"

"I don't like to talk about it at all..." Bella sneered at him and snaps her head to the side to hide the tears forming in her eyes. "But - if you must know though, my best friend... she died because of this damned school."

"What friend was that?"

Bella shakes her head and begins to shake. That horrible night... It was... No! Bella continues shaking her head and body and hugs herself close.

The boy began thinking of wanting to hug her, but he couldn't. Not this way. She'd figure it out what he was and he didn't want that, so, in the meantime he just let her hug herself and try not to cry.

As she took a deep breath, she regains her composure and smiles his way and pushes her finger forward and finishes speaking. "So you know, through that door is the best place to eat lunch, it nice and shaded and no sun barely pokes through there, no one else eats there because they like the sun and they can run around and be idiots. Me and my friends eat there all the time."

The boy nods and she continues smiling. As long as she was happy, right?

"So, if you want, Ven you can join us?"

"I'll think about it."

Bella smiles and she turns to walk back to class. "Shall we go back to class?"

"Yeah... That sounds nice." He nods and they both began walking back to Mr. Hawkins class.

'Bella, help me!' A voice shouted in her mind and she squeaked quietly and looked back as if hearing that voice again. 'Why! Why would you-'

'NO!' Bella shouts in her mind shaking her head. 'I wouldn't ever have left you if they-'

Bella let out a shaky breath and they walk into the classroom noticed by everyone and they just casually walked to their seats as if nothing happened, people talked in this school and sometimes- rumors can get pretty ugly.

"All right, let's continue with the lesson, very nice to have to you two back, hope it was eventful." Mr. Hawkins glances at Bella who nods in return, plagued in her own thoughts, Mr. Hawkins told himself to have her stay after and talk to him. Something was on her mind, and he won't stop until she told him. At least, he hoped it wasn't about that night... "So, where were we, oh yes!"
