The Outcasts of Pheonix Drop High

Chapter 1

Welcome? I guess?

Tessa's POV

I looked around. I had my back up against the fountain, eyeing the giant metal doors. It was the first day of my last year of High school. Or, my first day at Pheonix Drop High. Looking around, I saw that everyone had someone to stand with. Especially all the seniors. Suddenly, a bell rang. Looking down at the orientation packet I had been given, that bell meant 10 minutes until class.

The huge metal doors opened, and all the students flooded inside. I hesitantly stepped into the flow. Entering the building, I found myself at the front desk of the school.

"What do you need hun." Said the woman behind the desk.

"Oh, uh, I'm the new senior."

"Oh! Welcome to Pheonix Drop High....." she glanced down and scanned the paper. "Tessa!" She finished, finding my name. "Teony will be showing you around today." She explained, gesturing to a dark skinned girl standing next to her.

"Hey cutie! Nice to meet you!" The bubbly girl looked up from the book she had previously buried in. 

"Hi?" I Responded. She gave a small laugh.

"Honey, there's no need to be shy. Here at Pheonix Drop High, we're very welcoming." She smiled as she came out from behind the desk. Clutched in her right hand was a large blue folder, which she now handed to me. Printed in pink across the top was my name.

"In here are your schedule, map, and some other random paper bits."

"Alright ladies, walk and talk. We're a little behind schedule today already." The woman be

"Yes Ms Janna!" Teony responded, leading me through a door into the school.

"Normally, freshmen have to go through a long check-in process, but we took the liberty of doing it for you. We figured you'd have enough on your mind." Teony explained. I nodded.

"Well, in that case, thank you!" I responded. Then, out of the corner of my eye, my interest was caught by a fast motion. A pair of werewolf boys, clearly juniors, we attempting to hit a young female werewolf. The girl had a white shirt with gray sleeves and a heart on the center of her jacket. Her uniform just peaked out under her sweater. Her raven black hair was pulled up into a large black ponytail.

"This is for walking in with that HUMAN girl," One of the two boys hissed.

"Yeah. We don't associate with THEIR kind." The other spat in her face. He launched a punch, which confused me at first. He was clearly going to miss. So, when a cry of pain went out, I squinted, and saw the girl cowarding behind the werewolf girl. From all looks of things, she was a human.

This girl had caramel skin, and a black hair that hung loosely around her shoulders. She appeared to have a blue top on under her sleeveless uniform. Her brown eyes were filled with fear, as she rubbed the spot where the punch had made contact, a bruise already forming.

Teony turned around, obviously noticing that I was no longer following her.

"Not again." She sighed, rushing forward. "Stop! Stop! You werewolves aren't allowed to hit humans!" She cried out, an exhausted tone creeping into her voice, even though it was the first day of school. I didn't know how common this scene was, but it certainly painted a different image of Pheonix Drop High. An image that is significantly less welcome and inviting.
