It's Dark

Chapter 2

-Dylan's POV-

We pulled up to school 20 minutes later and Shana hopped out a Starbucks coffee in her hand. Then i slid out of the backseat holding a warm hot chocolate. For some reason i had never liked coffee like the rest of my friends. Shana and I stride to the school and I tried to have the confidence she did but I couldn't muster it. A small pout formed and shanas lips when she realized I had fallen 10 feet behind and was gaping at something. A white Cadillac was being parked in are lot and I swallowed hard my dream car right there. And people started getting out slowly.

First it was the handsome driver. He had skin that hinted at a Spanish heritage and dark curls that he ran his fingers through. He had a built frame and a chiseled jaw his nose was a perfect slope except for where you could tell it had been broken before.

Teeth as white as a persons could possibly get, which he advertised by pulling back his perfect full lips and giving a smile to the crowd of people surrounding the car.

Next a small girl got out and she she was a petite little thing almost my height. She had skin white as snow and dirty blonde hair that flowed to the small of her back. The had a slight frame an didn't look like she could handle holding much weight. She stood behind the guy as if silently asking for protection.

Next there was one last guy in the car who made his way out. He was not as buff as the first Guy but he was still built. He stood on alert russet curls falling in his eyes. And had a perfect smile that could make a girl melt. I looked closer and his nose was perfect, no breaks. Also it was clear that none of them had acne but this one had a tattoo in his jaw that I couldn't make out. He seemed to relax when he didn't find who he was looking for and he cracked his tanned but white knuckles. The one thing i noticed that they all had was pericing green eyes that were beautiful.

They all parted the crowd not saying a word to anyone till they past me an shana and then the first one that had got out smiled at me. "Sup." he said and It was so quiet it was barely audible but I had heard it and beamed back. I couldn't think of anything to say and he must have known that because he smiled and kept walking up to the school. Why had he chosen to move to the middle if no where's Ville Ohio. That's kinda insane. We lived on the outskirts of It in a really small town that's name was hard to pronounce. So why did these three people who had the faces to be models, move here?

"Omg Dylan!" Shana said excitedly jumping up and down her c-cups jiggling and when she saw me laughing she crossed her arms over her chest feircly. "Stop it," she wined and I did. "Sooo the new guy?" She said cocking her head to the three people as they entered the building. I shrugged cheeks heating wishing my hair wasnt in a bun so I could cover my face with it. "Eh." I said making very little signs to whether I liked the Spanish guy or not. Hehe I think to myself that I don't even kno his name. Shana giggled, "I think the one that got out last was pretty cute," she mumbled and I gasped happy for her. She hadn't even glanced at another guy since two years ago when her boyfriend Eric had died of cancer. She smiled faintly and I poked her gently to show I approved.

"Let's get inside before I freeze my butt off and your arms fall off from the cold." I say half true and half trying to distract her from thoughts of Eric before she decided not to move on. It hasn't been easy for me either, Eric was actually how I had meant Shana and it broke my heart that he died but I know he would want to see her happy and that's what I am going to do. Shana nodded and ran inside and I followed her. It was rather easy because my legs carried me so fast that she actually caught up with me in the end.

"So is it true that you know who is preggers?" She asked referring to our favorite teacher Mrs.Vlad who always put a smile on our faces. "Mmmm hmmm." I say walking up to my locker and spinning the combination not being able to get it open. A god awful smell filled my nostrils and I banged against the stupid thing anger glaring through me. I blinked and the anger was gone in a flash. Shana took a step back. "Woah, did you just....growl?!" She exclaimed sounding surprised and I shook my head laughing off the weird feeling I felt inside. "Haha! You thought!" I say joking. "No I didn't it was just my stomach." I tell her and she nods though not seeming to be reassured. I felt a wind whip past us and a screeching noise and it was gone. Shana had dropped her coffee all over her pants and gasped a whole had opened in the up in her cup apparently and had been leaking for a minute or so and everything had spilt on her without her noticing even before the gust of wind. "Omg! I need a spa! stat!" She giggled cried loudly and ran to the bathroom.

I blinked hard and turned and saw the lock was completely snapped off my locker and a shudder ran through me ad i looked around, chest thunping, and I opened it slowly as if the thing would explode and it didnt. Gulping, I took out my extra pair of clothes in my locker folded them neatly and closed it running into the bathroom behind Shana and not having time to notice the dent from where I had banged on it earlier or the menacing figure hiding in the shadows twisting my lock between its fingers.

When i got in the bathroom Shana was viciously scrubbing at her jeans with a paper towel sitting on the sink and pouting because it had looked like she's just peed herself luckily no tossed a pair of pre-ripped dark wash jeans and a red long sleeved shirt with a white holographic belt. Luckily she was already wearing white shoes to match. She beamed at me and jumped up hugging me close but I gagged from the coffee smell.

Shana giggled a bit and went into the stall to change. And then the blonde new girl that had been with the Spanish guy and the uptight protective looking guy. The girl goes up to the mirror and washed off her hands and then finger combed her hair back to its proper place. A small smile stretched across her lips once she saw me staring. "Hello!" She says politely a grin in her face dimples popping out. Now you see I wish I was that pretty. My dimples were hard to see unless I was cheesin really hard.

"Hi," I reply. "My names Erin." She saud. "I'm dylan." Erin nods and cracked her knuckles. Her lips picketed and she got a disgusted look on her face. "What is that road kill like smell?!" She says and I begin sniffing and I notice that she's probably talkimg about Shana and her coffee smelling self. Shana comes out with her clothes changed and erin pulls a peppermint smelling perfume out of her bag and sprays the whole bathroom. With it including Shana and her old clothes.

I could help but giggle as Shana sneezed and fanned the air around her face. "You don't like the smell?" I ask Shana and she laughed lightly, "No I do except it got in my mouth and Its doesn't taste at all good." I nod and pull out a pack of gum handing her a peice and offer Erin one And Erin grins widely taking it and stuffing a wad Of watermelon flavored hubba bubba gum In her mouth. I do the same and I look in the mirror looking at my bland self and pulled out my bun letting the braided hair go loose in waves down my back a little shorter then shana's when wavy. I reach into my back pack again and pull out my Krispy Creme flavored clear gloss and apply it the sweet scent floating into my nostrils and it instantly calmed me.

As I did this I heard Shana ask question about the two guys Erin had been with and learned the Spanish guy had been named Riley and the protective one named James. I smile sheepishly and day dream about Riley as the smell of Krispy creme, peppermint, and watermelon filled my nostrils bit was a good smell. I also found out that Riley was a junior and so was James meaning they were one year ahead while Erin was in our grade.

"Yeaaa there my brothers." She says an forces a smile saying they had all been adopted. "First it was James then it was Riley then it was me." I listen silently as she tells the story of there childhood and nod politely but I space in and out thoughts going back to my menacing locker which I had all but forgotten about when I came I the bathroom with the smell of coffee surrounding me.

I didn't realize until Shana was shaking me that the first period bell was ringing and we were late. "Aw crap," I mutter and i run out with Shana and erin. I ran one way and they ran the other seeing as how for first period I had drama and they had intro to art. "Byeeeee!" Erin yelled as her and Shana skip down the hall and I giggle running to drama getting there in a minute and then turned gaping as i saw none other then Riley and James in the back whispering to each other. As soon as I stepped In the room every head in class turned my way and I smiled nervously.
