Banging was all I could hear. The rhymetic thumping on the ballroom door. I held the artifact close to me, knowing that I was in great danger. Merlin, my black and white cat, sat next to me growling at the door. It was open and they stormed in in large groups. My father and the remaining soldiers met them in the middle.
"Daddy..." I cried as my father raised his weapon against the attackers
"Go... They're after you." That was the last thing I heard from him before I used the orb to get away.
It was a sunny day. And I was at home with my mum and dad. They weren't my real parents of course but they might as well be. I loved them and how they always looked out for me. They wanted the best from me and I always gave it to them.
It was my first day of school. I was starting I year 11 so I had my work cut out for me but I was so exited to meet new people. I quickly pulled on the white t-shirt, black pants, black and grey tie and the grey jumper that was my uniform. Grabbing a piece of toast on the way I set off.
I arrived, the building looked huge from the outside but it really wasn't. I was looking around the school when I bumped into someone.
"Oh hi bitch." She said, grinning at me "You must be Merla right?"
"Oh yeah... but it's rude to use such vulgar language." I responded.
"Oh darling you're gonna hear a lot worse than that... come on let me introduce you to some people. I'm Carmella by the way."
"Oh... Ok... lead the way"
She was as they say "drop dead gorgeous" She had rich caramel skin and a slim, clear defined body. Her hair was a seemingly unnatural blond that was curled. While Here I was with my short, blond bushy hair and pale white skin with my wide blue eyes. It wasn't fair.
"Ok so, this is Nick and Kevin. They are my friends."
"Hey," the one called Nick smiled
"Hiya love," Kevin beamed.
"So... what does this school... umm... well run?" I asked the three
"Well..." Nick began "We have form for like 15 minutes and then we have two lessons. Then we have break were we just relax and hang out..."
"We have two more lessons after that. All of the lessons are an hour long and after those two lessons we have dinner." Kevin continued
"Afterwards we have one more lesson and then the school day ends. There are clubs and revision sessions you can go to if ya want but we don't know when they are yet." Carmella gracefully finished
"Ok... so where do I get my timetable from?" I asked.
"We get them during form." Nick explained
"I just hope we don't have P.E. ." Kevin complained.
The bell went and after looking at where our form room was (we were all in the same form thank god) and the boys and Carmella lead me there. The form teacher introduced me to the rest of the class and I blushed in anger when she called me a transfer student. She gave out our timetables and explained how the first lesson will be spent in form. I looked at my timetable and it looked like this

It looked alright until Carmella saw my timetable
"Oh you have the nightmare English teacher. I've never had her but I've heard bad things about her from her students." She explained "You're other lessons are not to bad though, I don't like Mrs Robinson from R.E. but you- oh we're in the same R.E. lessons"
"So I can talk so someone who isn't a bitch in R.E." Kevin exclaimed
"Excuse me... who are you to call a bitch?!"
I ignored them and looked to Nick "they always like this?" I asked
"Yeah... have fun when you're in R.E. with them."
I noticed two other boys, something about them seemed off to me but Nick seemed to know them pretty well. They eventually went away and I relaxed. Even now I could not fully rest as they are looking for me. If I am not careful they will find me.
"Who were they?"I looked at the boys that were laughing at another table.
"That's Zach and Kane. You wouldn't like to talk to them"
"No... I don't think I would" I couldn't stop staring at them and before I knew it the bell rang for second lesson.
"Come on," said Nick "I'll show you to Maths"
