The Deep Blue Curse

Chapter 2

It was monday, i was not ready for the first day of school. I decided to go simple so i put on a solid blue shirt and a pair of jean capri. I grabbed my school bag and ran to the kitchen. Caleb was already at the table eating a granola bar. I grabbed one and ate quick. I was ready to leave.

The school was only ten miles away from home. When we got there caleb was escorted by a girl that was waiting in the office. When i came in i was greeted by the principal a tall heavy set bald guy. Then he introduced me to my escort for the week.

“Serena palatine welcome to sparks high this is carson he will show you around to your classes this week.” the principal said.

“Hello nice to meet you serena.” carson had  beautiful blue eyes, a smooth baby like face, and redish brown hair. He extended his hand out.

“Nice to meet you too carson.” i said as i shook his hand.

“Come i will show you your classes.”he said

My schedule went like this:

1 8:50-9:45 history- mr.gonsalves room 212

2 9:50-10:45 P.E.- ms.shepard gym

3 10:50-11:25 science- mr.bryon room 153

Lunch 11:30- 11:50- cafeteria

5 12:50-1:45 art- ms.been

6 1:50-2:45 study hall

7 2:50-3:30 computer- mr.grant room 111

Carson showed me to my classes they were pretty easy to get to.

“After class i will wait outside this door to show you to your next class.” he said.

In each class the teacher made me introduce myself and say a little about myself. After the first few times i got used to people staring at me.

In my third period science carson was in there too. I got sat by a girl named vivian. She was short with black hair. She didn't talk much.

After class carson was waiting for me as i expected.

“So do you want to sit with me and my friend at lunch?” he asked.

“Sure.” i said and we went to sit at a table with a group of people.

“Guys this is serena she came from kentucky.” carson introduced me to everyone. The short dark skinned girl with brown eyes was sasha.

“Its very nice to meet you i know we will be great friends.” sasha said. She is very nice and energetic.

The guy with blond hair and green eyes with a little bit chubby face spoke up next.

“Im jake nice to meet you.” he said

“Hey im chloe” the blond girl with the pink dress said.

“Its nice to meet ya’ll” i said.

“Thats funny you even have that kentucky's accent and talk.” jake said. I couldn't figure out if he was making fun of me or he was truly fascinated.

“Jake that's not funny stop being mean.” sasha said.

“I'm sorry jake can be a pain sometimes.” chloe informed me.

Then a guy came and sat next to chloe.

“There you are shawn.” chloe said then kissed him on the lips.

“Oh hey serena i'm in your P.E. remember.” shawn said but i didn't recall him because i didn't really look at people in my classes.

“I'm sorry i didn't really look at people in my classes.” i told him.

“Nah it's your first day it's understandable.” shawn said.

The bell rang we all got up carson walked with me out of the room.

“So what's next on your schedule.” carson asked.

“English mrs. smith room 203” i told him it wasn't that far from the cafeteria that was good.

After fourth i had art and carson was in that class with me. The teacher assigned me to be partners with him seeing he did not have one.

“Hey serena.” he said.

I laughed and said “hey carson.” then i pulled out my sketchbook and put it on the table i had already drew a couple of drawings.

“Hey can i see your sketches?” he asked.

“Sure” i said. The first drawing is a mermaid sitting on a rock. The second one was a fairy hiding in the tall grass.

“Wow these are really good. You can see how the fairy is hiding yet wants you to see her as if it breaks the rules for you to see her. And the mermaid you can see how she wants to be human and walk among the earth.” he said and i was speechless no one i have ever met said anything like that about my drawings.

“Oh um i'm sorry i'm talking too much aren't i or did i get the prediction wrong.” he asked

“No neither i just have never met someone who could see and understand what i was drawing like you. Do you have any drawings i can see?” i asked

He pulled out his sketch book they were drawing of people's everyday lives.

“wow you can see how the people go along with their everyday life, yet they have secrets that no one can know about.” i said.

“Exactly i knew there was something different about you serena.” he said then the bell rang he had study hall also so we talked more about this in the library.

The week went by fast then it was friday. After school carson came running up to me.

“Hey serena i was wondering do you want to go to chloe's non alcoholic party with me tomorrow night?” he asked.

“Are you asking me out?” i questioned him.

“Um… yeah i guess i am.” he said and his face turned red.

“Okay i'd love to.” i said straight and upfront. I was one of those girls who wasn't scared to let people know how i felt. I would take a chance as soon as it was presented.

“Ok uh.. Here's my  number so you can text me your address.” he said then handed me the piece of paper with his number written down on it.

“Okay um see ya.” i said then got in the car with my brother and drove home.
