Chapter 3: Alexander

I’m itching to talk to her. Her sister as well, but mostly her. I can’t believe that’s my girl. Well, the girl from my head. In the flash, all i saw was her face. Though it was covered in a smile, her eyes were all i could focus on. Those deep Periwinkle seas. When i saw her in reality, I just wanted to dive into them. To talk to her. i didn’t get the chance to, since her sister, grabbed her towards the bus. My friends must not have noticed her and i, because they acted as if nothing happened. We strode onto the bus and all female eyes turned our way.

“Man, i think they’re staring at you guys”, I told James and Michael.

“Bro”, James remarked, “You're the new guy. The Appetizer. And it looks like meal time.”

I glance around the bus, inconspicuously looking for those ever-changing eyes. When I caught her periwinkle (now-turquoise eyes), she blushed and smiled. I just return the smile, and think to myself, ‘How will i focus on the prophecy with her around?’ We strode to the seat behind them and I can sense her beginning to glow.

The bus came to a stop in front of the school curb. The bus doors opened with a *Whoosh* and Everyone rushed out. Everyone except for her and i.

I muster up every ounce of courage in my body and walk over to her. THen suddenly Something flips me to the ground. I look at the ground and see my enemy. A banana peel. How classic. She turns while picking up her backpack.

“Hey… You okay there?”.

“Um.. I doubt it, but i might need help getting up”, i smoothly said. She hesitated with a twinkle of desire and lust in her eye. She came over to me and bent down to pull me up of the ground.

“Thanks.”, I said with a beaming smile.

We both glanced down and saw that our fingers were both interlocked together. And from that glance, we both felt an intense shock of energy.

“Are y’all getting off my bus or not?”, the bus driver impatiently asked.

We simultaneously stepped off the bus and walked into the main building. I looked at the large clock on the middle tower and saw that it was 8:10. We were ten minutes late.

We walk inside and as we step, our black sneakers squeak on the ground.

“So… I never got your name.”, i timidly say.

“I’m Ivana Sheldon and you are?”, she says.

“Alexander Kessel and-”, I get cut off by Ivana strongly gripping my wrist. It begins to hurt as she begins emanating light and it sears my hand.

“Did you feel that?”, she finally squeaks.

My entire being freezes up and my spine straightens. “Oh no. No, No, NO.”, i say. “They’re here.”

“Who,”, the beauty asks, “Who’s here?”.

Four extremely loud gunshots ring out from Building C.

She gasps and says, “My sister, she’s in biology. In--in Building C…”. Her lip starts quivering and my heart sinks.

“We have to get her. Now.”, I strongly say.

We sprint to Building C in no time and tug open the doors easily. Ivy races ahead of me, and swiftly jumps the steps by threes.

I catch up to her, and see her and her sister hugging tightly. “Let’s go guys.”, I say. All of us, Octavia in the front, hit the ground running, and we don’t stop for anything.
