Dark Love

Chapter 8

'B-E-E-P...B-E-E-P...B-E...' rang my alarm clock before I slammed my hand down on the button before laying on my bed for another minute.

"Sabrina! Wake up!" my mom yelled, shattering my dream.

'Wait! Dream!' I quickly looked at the clock, realizing that I was going to be late for my first day at Hope Wish High School. 'Oh, why did you have to fall back to sleep, you lazy butt!' I scolded myself as I quickly dressed in a white sweater and an old, ripped pair of jeans. I dragged my brush through my shoulder-length chocolate hair; then I hurried outside to the bus stop, arriving just as it pulled up to the curb. I dashed inside, discovering that all the seats were gone and I was forced to stand. Luckily, I had only a ten minute ride to the school.

We drove up to a run-down, brick building that appeared to have been through a war. I quickly leapt from the bus and landed on the cracked cement that led to a huge steel door. I glanced at my information packet and realized that I had no idea of where I needed to go. "Excuse me," I cleared my throat as I tapped a girl with waist-long chestnut hair. 

"Who dares bother me!" she screamed, spinning around to glare at me with her baby-blue eyes. "Oh...a NEW Girl...Now listen up, cause I won't tell you again!...Let alone do I want to tell you once...NO ONE talks to me...NO ONE touches me...Without my permission...GOT IT?" she snapped, spitting as she shouted; then she flicked her hair over her shoulder, trying to look superior. I thought it just made her look stupider.

"Oh...I was j..." I started, unhindered by the thought of what would come.

"Uh!" She slapped her perfect hand over my mouth. "Not another word from you!" she commanded as she motioned to her friends and they all walked away, glaring at me in the process.

'Oh! I'm going to hate this school! The nerve of these kids! It's already driving me insane... I just wish that they could have seen my own school...It was like a royal castle compared to this!' I groaned before tripping blindly over someone's foot. I landed with a thud with my packet flying everywhere. 'I...Hate...New...Schools!' I screamed in my head again; then I glanced up to find a girl with gold hair and wild eyes, watching me. She ran around, collecting my papers before reaching down to help me up.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there...Hey...Are you new? I haven't you here before..." she rambled in a long stream before pausing for air. "You are the new girl, aren't you?" she asked with a huge smile, showing off her pink and green braces.

"Sure am...Do you happen to know where this room is?" I inquired as I pointed at the papers, telling about my first class: chemistry with Dr. Parker.

"That just happens to be my first class too...By the way...I'm Izze, and you are?" she questioned in a soft, sugar0sweet voice.

"Sabrina Zules..." I answered as we hurried through the maze of packed hallways that led to numerous classrooms. Students chattered quickly and lockers continuously slammed open and closed.
