the blood runs cold

chapter one the beginning

One day Phoenix was heading to school, when she noticed that someone was following her. She knew it was someone different because she knew everyone in town. It was a guy late 20s, black hair, dark brown eyes, all black with a red jacket. Phoenix turned down an alley the man followed her she hid somewhere, the man sniffed her out, but Phoenix didn't know it was another fellow millionaire.

"Why are you following me?" asked Phoenix he didn't answer her so Phoenix let him leave and teleported to high school. Phoenix went inside her class and there she sat with her best friend James and waited for the substitute to get there. The time passed and 30 minutes passed and the sub finally came. The substitute was a guy. The substitute's name was Jack Roberts. He called them off for attendance. Jack taught them how to use measurements and put it into different measurements. Phoenix got it easy so she just went on her phone while listening to music. Jack saw Phoenix not paying attention so he walked up to her

"Why aren't you paying attention Phoenix?" He asked. Phoenix didn't see or hear him because her headphones were on loud in her ears and she was drawing. She already knew the notes and answers. Jack was getting impatient so he was gonna yell when Phoenix took her headphones off and looked to the front to see him next to her

"Hello Mr. Roberts what do you need?" Phoenix asked as polite as possible

"Why aren't you paying attention to the lesson Phoenix? Do you already have the notes down and the answers?" Mr. Roberts asked Phoenix

"Yes I do want to see? Fine look" Phoenix opened her notebook and showed him the answers and notes.

"Happy?" Phoenix asked. Mr. Roberts nodded his head.

"Now leave me alone" Phoenix mumbled under her breath

"What was that Phoenix? Did you say something?" Mr. Roberts asked Phoenix just shook her head no. James looked at Phoenix and texted Phoenix

James: what happened?

Phoenix: nothing just a teacher being doubtful again.

James: oh anyways what's the answer to number 5?

Phoenix: really? You need help converting measurements?

James: yes

Phoenix: ugh no you are a senior do your own work I'm not doing it for you

James: ugh really after what I do for you? Wow

Phoenix decided to change the subject and talk about something else.

Phoenix: I like your clothes.

James: thanks I like yours too! ^_^

Phoenix was wearing a black leather jacket, white tee shirt, dark blue jeans and white converse she made a cool universe design herself. James was Phoenix's best friend. James was wearing dark gray joggers, black tee shirt, light gray hoodie, and black Vans. James got his phone taken by Mr. Roberts because he was texting not working and trying to cheat. A different friend texted phoenix this time it was her little brother Oscar.

Oscar: hey Phoenix you already done with your work to?

Phoenix: yeah I just finished a few minutes ago. What about you did you finish your work already?

Oscar: yeah so are you drawing again while listening to music and the substitute teacher got mad at you for thinking that you were just slacking off again?

Phoenix: yep ugh so annoying for people assuming things!

Oscar: let me guess James got his phone taken away again for not doing his work and trying to cheat?
