In the Shadows

Chapter 2

Monday's are the worst. They remind you that two days is not enough time to get away from the world after a week of unbearable torture.

"Hey you gonna eat breakfast?"
"No mom I'm gonna grab some at school with Jaime" A little white lie won't hurt anybody.

"Natasha! Have you heard about the new guy! He's so hot!" I almost couldn't make out what Jaime was saying over her pig like squealing. "No I haven't. I just got here." That's as much excitement we'll get around here at WoodLand Hills High School.

"Oh, Natty Come here I'll take you to him!" Shit no. "That won't be necessary-"

I could feel my heart rise up to my throat. If there's another thing I hate is meeting new people. Social anxiety is a bitch.

"Jaime please no let's not do this, you know how I feel about meeting new people!" my lip was quivering.

"Listen if you're parents are paying that shrink long nose bitch all that money you should at least show the effects of it!"

Jamie's face screamed with fury. I felt my legs go numb as we walked over to the front of the school.

"Hey there! I'm Jaime and this is my friend Natasha." I could feel my breath leave my body as we locked eyes. It started to feel like I could feel his energy.

"Hello nice to meet you Jaime. Nice to meet you Natasha. Im Alexander but you can call me Alex."

Why was I feeling like this. So weightless and cloudy. "Hey- oh my gosh Natasha!"

His eyes they changed and he looked like a god. I couldn't understand exactly what I was looking at. "Soon you'll know." He said sounding strong and sexy. What did that mean?

"Hey Natasha, you there?" All I could feel were his hands. They were giving me a rush of energy. Quickly realizing that it was a dream I heard Jaime and Alexander talking to me. I felt groggy but alive at the same time.

"Hey are you okay?" said Jaime. My head hurt like hell and I couldn't really make out any words. "I'm fine what uh. . What happened? "You passed out. Alex caught you before you hit the floor."

Jaime winked her right eye at me. I felt my face redden and my heart speed up.

"Do you want any water, Natasha?"

Something about the way he said my name made me feel even more alive. "No I'm okay, thank you." He seemed worried but strangely proud.

"It's my first day here at WoodLand High but I can tell you must already know that. Do you know where room 57 is at?"
Jaime squeezed my hand so hard. She lives for this stuff. She's a hopeless Romantic.

"Let me see. That's Mr.Nozaro's History class. Looks like we have it together." I could feel excitement and fear fill my veins. "Well that's great! If you don't mind could we walk together to class?"

I felt his bright blue eyes and short dirty blonde hair stare right into my soul.

"Yes she can! She will show you the way!" said Jaime.
