Puppets, Controllers, and Death

Ch. 3 Meet the Puppets

Regine

As she led Cher down the hallway, Regine could almost feel excitement running through her veins. Though she didn't know why.

As the two friends passed the hallways, Regine couldn't help but point at several different people, both friendly and mean.

"You see her over there?" She pointed to a tall girl with curly blonde hair and Gray eyes. "The one wearing a girly dress and converse?"

Cher nodded. "Well, yeah."

"She's Angie Lair. Kind of like the A+ girl here. She's one of the most bossy people here. Oh, and the guy next to her, Jordan Thorn?" She pointed to a handsome guy with messy, dark hair and eyes nearly as green as hers, but not as bright. "Me and him were kind of crushing on each other, before Angie butted in."

Regine could see from the look on Cher's face, the dark-skinned girl needed time to catch on her words. Not that she's being a racist or anything.

"Moving on," she exclaimed. Dragging Cher by the hand, she walked a little faster. "You see the guy with blonde hair and blue eyes? He's Jace Paige, younger brother of Cristina Paige, the most badass person here. Well, other than Karen Devina. Or as I may call her... Devila."

She pointed to a short, Hispanic boy talking to two boys who seemed like exact copies of each other. "The short dude? The one there? He's Charles Davidson. Mechanic of NVH. And the twins over there? They're Peter and Paul Coal. Kings of Pranks. Oh, and over there? The one who looks like a greek weirdo? She's Marjorie. Doesn't even have a last name. Totally creepy!"

Regine knew time flies quickly. And it sure does. Before she even knew it they finished the tour on most of the school and were heading toward the science lab.

"The science lab is my favourite place at NVH," she told Cher. " Well, other than the library of course. Usually, I'm just alone in there, but sometimes Reneé joins me there." She shrugs one shoulder.

Eyes sparkling with curiosity, the golden-eyed girl can't help but question her, "Who's Reneé?"

"One of my... friends." There was an edge in her tone that said, 'this conversation is over'.

As they walked on, they passed Connor Stone, the school klutz. Regine can't help but smirk at this and whisper to Cher. As the friends passed him, Connor's eyes met Cher's for the first time and he (very stupidly) tripped on his shoelaces. Regine, along with a few other girls in the hallway, simply smirked at him and laughed.

Regine looked beside her, checking to see how hard her friend was laughing, when she didn't see her. Her laughter immediately ceased and she looked around for the dark-skinned girl whom she just saw a few mins. ago. As she contemplated wether or not to check the classrooms for Cher, she spotted her friend kneeling on the floor with Connor, helping him pick up his books. As she returned to Regine's side, the redhead can't help but look at her friend with newfound surprise.

"What?" She asked the green-eyed girl.

"It's just... you're the first one to do that. "

Cher shrugged. "I was just helping him out."

When Regine pushed the door to the science lab open, she was greeted by the smell of roses and violets. A tall, dark-haired girl turned from the seat on where she sat, crossing her legs and swinging her hooped earrings back and forth. The girl had tanned skin which complemented her white-and-pink designer dress and eyes as black as obsidian. Regine had to match her obsidian stare with one of her own.

"Reneé," the redhead nodded towards her. "Meet Cher, she's new"

"Hey," Reneé moved her obsidian stare towards the girl.

"Hi!" She replied in a timid, squeaky voice.

"Well, I'd love to stay here and do chitchat," the dark-haired girl shrugged a shoulder. "Yet, unfortunately I have a meeting to attend to. Excuse me." She said as she pushed past Cher and into the hallways.

"Well," Regine replied towards Cher. "That was intimidating."

And unusual...
