Within Us

Chapter 2

BUMP. I woke up to my head slamming against the window. I pulled away and rubbed where I got hit and checked my surroundings. We were on a dirt road with thick woods all around us. I turned around and saw all of the trees fading into black. In fact, I couldn't see past any of them I thought it'd be impossible to run through them. I then noticed that Cosima was no longer on my side anymore. I grabbed the two seats in front of me and pulled myself over. "Where's Cosima?"

The ebony man turned around to look at me, and he wasn't wearing his sunglasses anymore. His eyes were amazing. Around his pupils he had a bright orange that faded into emerald green. Every person here has to be somewhat mystical or powerful. What could be so special about these two? They must be really important if they're transporting the students to the school. With curiosity, I asked him, "What are you?"

He smirked at me, "What do you think makes me so special? Anyways we're-" the white guy opened up the window causing a large gust of wind, blocking out what he said.

"Where's Cosima?" I figured i'd find out what they are later.

"On the roof."

I poked my head out of the window and saw cosima sitting upright with their eyes closed. They were probably feeling stuffy in this little car.

"When will we be arriving at the school?", I asked in a small voice. The ebony man stopped the car immediately after I asked.

We all shuffled out of the car and made our way to a small building that looked as though it was made for holding cleaning supplies. Why is a prestigious school like this in the middle of The woods?and a small rundown building. The ebony man and white man both stood next to the door and held their hands up, they whispered something and the room shined from the inside.

The ebony man gestured for us to come inside and the school looked like a live in mall. how can such a small building be so big on the inside? this entire thing is a bit confusing, i'm sure i'll learn more on my journey around the school . As I was looking excitedly everywhere I noticed someone familiar at the check in. They had fiery hair and seemed to be extremely angry. I wouldn't be surprised if they were part demon or something, I could literally see the steam flowing off of them, they must be pissed. When we finally got to the check in I noticed that it was actually my crush from school.

"Inola!", I squealed. She turned around furiously and yelled "WHAT?!?" loud enough for the entire school to hear. She was heaving with irritation and her pupils were wide and wavering. I was afraid to look away, I thought she'd rip my throat out if I moved in any way that might provoke her. A few seconds later she noticed everyone staring at her and immediately changed her demeanor. She apologized, got her ticket and awkwardly walked towards someone across the the food court. I felt bad for her she seemed to be trembling with embarrassment, I'll find her later and apologize.

The men in black bowed and the ebony man gave us a smile and left. I wonder if we'll get to see them again...

I turned Cosima with me to look at the desk lady and smiled." Could we have two tickets for, um, whatever we're getting tickets for? the lady opened up her mouth and stood there with her mouth wide open, she looked sort of robotic,"um, mis-"

"The tickets are your room numbers, everyone gets their own room but if you would like to share a room with friends you will have to input how many people there would be, race, age, and major. If you are a new student and do not know what your race or major is you will have to input your information later this week to complete your resume"

Woah, that surprised me," We're new students, I don't want to share a room with my sibling but I would like our rooms to be next to each other please."

She nodded,"what are your names and age?."

"I am 16 and they are  14."

The lady slid two papers across the table,"the food court is in Block 1A, the grocery store is in 1B if you would like to cook for yourself, the clothing store is in 1C, all sophomore classes are in 2B, freshman classes are in 2A. Welcome to ARTS, the school for the supernaturally gifted, we hope you'll enjoy your stay."

"Thank you." I grabbed the two slips of paper from her desk.#2619 for Cosima and #2620 for me.

I looked over to Cosima,"Hey, why don't we go over to the grocery store and get some food for dinner?" They nodded and we walked to the grocery store in block 1B.

We made our way towards the grocery store and grabbed a cart, Cosima grabbed all the spices and I got the actual food. Sometimes I think they're trying to make a science experiment out of our dinner. We got to the check-out and noticed there was no one there to actually "check-out" our food (lol i think i'm funny) I didn't think much of it and just started bagging the food until I smelled...charcoal?? I turned to my right to see a very tall guy and Inola chatting surprisingly comfortably. Inola's hair was literally springing up and simmering, maybe she barbecued herself lol, yeah right. Inola noticed me and smiled, the tall guy turned around to see who she was smiling at.

Wow, I mean wow this guy was hot as fuck, I wouldn't mind being in bed with this dude. His wide sea green eyes drew me in, I was captivated by it. His arms made me quiver and his blond hair looked almost white it was the hottest thing. Omg don't get me started on his height, he looked around 6'4? You know what I'm talking about *dies*. I shook my head at the thought, my love is only for Inola. He stared at me for a second then blushed a little, my face flushed in embarrassment. What if he can read minds? what if I have a boner? wtf is wrong with my hormones omg!!!

Inola chimed in to kill the air "Aema! Cosima! I didn't think you two would here. I didn't smell anything different about you at school and we've known each other for 4 years."

I nodded and giggled, she's so friggen cute I want to hug her and kiss her and...wait...smelled?

"What do you mean by smelled?" I asked confused.

"Oh, oh, I forgot to mention i'm a werewolf, well, half werewolf half angel."

Well, this is a shock.
