I cut the engine after arriving to my first day of hell. Winter break just ended so I'm continuing my senior year in second semester as the new girl.

Ugh. I grab my bag from the compartment, heading into the office to get my schedule.  I open the door softly, walking in, the first thing I see is a short woman with blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, she smiles at me as she sits down.

"Hello miss can I help you?"

"Um yes mrs..."

"Phyllis call me Phyllis my dear!"

"Yes ma'am, I um I'm Annabelle Himmel, I'm supposed to start today, I'm here to pick up my schedule Phyllis."

"Oh it's so nice to finally meet you Annabelle! Give me a sec." She starts typing and hits the enter button then the printer goes off and prints 3 pages. "Here you go love! I'll call someone down from your first class to show you around."

"No Phyllis that's ok. I-"
She interrupts my protest by putting a finger up.

"Mr. Vickension we have a new student today please send Mr.... Zolnerowich.  Mhm alright thank you so much. Ok. Yeah. I love you too. Bye."

She turns to me with pinkish cheeks.

"You may have a seat Annabelle someone will be down shortly." She smiles at me once more.

"Mrs. Phyllis?"

"Yes dear?"

"It's just Belle, I just go by Belle."

"Alright Belle." Her smile turned into a grin.
There was a knock on the door, an extremely tall muscular boy, no scratch that man walked in, my boots became mesmerizing suddenly.

I'm really shy, I have a black eye and a bump on my cheek plus I have my wrap on so I MUST look like shit.

"You needed me Phyllis?" His voice made me shiver it sounds so familiar.

"Yes Vlad will you please show Belle around, she is a new student here and she is in my husbands class as well."

He turns to me and hear a gasp I flinch as he lifts his hand up fast, quickly backing up.

"Are. You. Ok?" He struggles to get out.
I just simply nod turning bright red.

"I'm Vladislav." He slowly brings his hand up. "Everyone calls me Vlad."

"I-I'm Annabelle.. People call me Belle, or bells." I manage to squeak out. I dare myself to look up at him I noticed he was staring at my eye. As I quickly look down I feel like I need to tell him.

"I-I'm ok, I'm sup-per clumsy. I uh fell off my bed this morning after a nightmare." I found myself confessing to this tall stranger. If possible I felt my face turn even brighter red.

"Let's go Belle we shouldn't miss even more class." He opens the door, I walk through it mumbling a quick thank you. I trip over his shoe as I pass him hitting the ground.

"I-I'm so sorry." I wince as I feel my wounds open underneath my wrap.

"Don't apologize it's my fault. Are you ok?" He asks while helping me up and noticing my wince.

"Y-yeah I landed on my sprained wrist.." He carefully grabs my hand I yelp when I feel sparks. He looks at me again then looks back down.

"Oh shit!"

"What?! Are you ok?"

"Your wrap is covered in blood. Are you ok?"

"Y-yeah. I'm going to check it." I quickly sprint away.

"Wait!" I hear behind me I ignore it trying to find a bathroom. I run into a wall a moving wall? "Annabelle let me help you ok? It looks serious." I simply shake my head not only embarrassed but now scared.

The bell rings and the hall starts to fill in I use the opportunity to blend in and quickly walk away. Next thing I know I'm shoved to the ground, I hear multiple laughs. I curse under my breath, as I get up only to be shoved again.

"Watch it cow, you must be lost the farm is in Louisville." I squeak an apology. Getting up I swear I heard a growl. I look around to find nothing, so I ask someone to direct me to a restroom and lock myself in the empty girls room.

Holding in a sob, I try my best to keep silent but sobs kept racking my body. Once I finally calm down I walk out of the stall I quickly wipe the running makeup off and fix it quickly after I tend to my bleeding wrist.

I switch out my wraps after I check everything I leave the girls room. I'm greeted by a worried Vlad I jump startled. "Are you ok?"

"I-I'm fine like I said earlier.." 

"Why were you crying?"

I blush. "I wasn't." I mumbled.

"Bull shit. Your eyes are puffy and red, your pupils are dilated and..." He wipes a tear from my cheek. "If you weren't crying then you wouldn't have a tear running down your face."

"I s-said I'm fine please just stop talking to me." I mumbled. He chuckled.

"Let's get to class huh?"

"Umm I don't want to make you late."

"We already are by 10 minutes and we have the same class." I nod and quietly follow him.
