Secrets Kill

The Struggle- 2

It was early morning when I arrived. I made my way to the inner city apartment Athena's earth allies had rented for me. The front had grey chipped paint on it and lifeless window boxes under the grimy windows. I unlocked the door to walk into a modern foyer. This didn't surprise me. Our people liked to keep a low profile. I slipped my shoes off and dragged my suitcase upstairs. I dumped my suitcase on the floor of my edgy bedroom and checked the clock on the bedside table. I had a few hours before I was to start school at summerton high. I left the room to check out the rest of the apartment. The top floor consisted of a bedroom, bathroom and study. The ground floor was a kitchen, living room and a small dining space. The small device imbedded in my fore arm sent small electric shocks through my body. I tapped my arm and a image of Athena popped up.

" I see you have found your apartment. Your school uniform is in your wardrobe and everything you will need for the day are there."

" Nice apartment. Very edgy." I said.

" Get going." She snarled " I do not have time for idle chatter." The image of her disappeared and I was left alone. I entered my room and found my uniform where she had said. A grey pleated skirt, white shirt with the school emblem on the pocket, a grey and red striped tie, grey jumper, black tights, lace up leather school shoes and red blazer. I got them on and headed to the kitchen to make myself breakfast. I put two pop tarts in the toaster and started making myself a sandwich for lunch. I put my pop tarts on a plated and sat down to eat. I packed my school bag with my iPad, lunch and books and started my short walk to school.

I got dirty looks as I entered Summerton high. Being the new girl always sucked. I made my way to the locked I'd been assigned. It was next to Decebels. All my classes had been fixed with Decebels. As I approached I saw a group of boys standing around my locker. When I neared I figured out that it was Decebel and his friends. How did they Athena manage to get me near Decebel in every possible way. The boys didn't notice me. I coughed " you mind?" I asked them motioning to my locker. A boy with spiked brown hair spoke up.

" usually I wouldn't, but because I think your hot I will." They stepped away to let me in but didn't go away. I opened my lock and dumped my bag inside.

" I'm Logan." The brown haired boy said " this is Drew," he pointed my a boy with tousled sandy coloured hair. " and Decebel." Decebel nodded hello.

Drew pretended to whisper to me " doesn't talk much." Decebel kicked him in the shin.

" Mind those dorks." He laughed. " what's you name first off?"

" I'm Atlanta." I didn't mind telling people my real name.

" Atlanta. Nice." Logan flirted.

" what have you got first?" Decebel asked

" maths." I huffed " should be illegal to have it first period Monday." The boys laughed

" to true, to true." Drew smiled.

" may I escort you to class?" Logan asked, outstretching his arm.

" let me do the honours. I think we're in the sane class." Decebel interrupted. I grabbed my books and linked my arm with Decebels waiting one. First bell rang as I practically skipped down the hall. Only 20 minutes at school and already we were friends
