Lost in darkness

chapter 5

Tess pov- It's been a few weeks since she had moved out and she was finally all settled into her new home. She had gotten her class schedule emailed to her and she was taking a English writing class two nights a week and she had two online classes on Wednesdays. She had promised her parents that she wouldn't take on to many classes and she figured starting out with four was a perfect amount.  She still had little over a week before her classes would start and she wanted to be prepared.  She was nervous about starting since she hadn't been to public school since she was five which she didn't have memories of. 

She had been stressed lately and hadn't been feeling well and this was the first night that she felt like getting out. She hadn't really advantaged around Raven Wood which was the name of her new town. She put on a short black skater dress and pair and velvet red flats and ran a brush thru her light brown shoulder length hair and headed out the door. It was a nice night and it was still early so she walked the short five minute into town. The town wasn't huge but it was way bigger then her home town. She pasted by a small coffee shop that caught her eye so she went inside and ordered a tea and then walked around a little bit longer before calling it a night.

She knew she had a paper that was due in her English class that needed to be turned in the Friday before class started. Her teacher wanted a three page essay about who we were as a person. She has written many essays in the past like that it was a way for the teachers to get to know their students. She wanted to write something different then she had wrote in the past, she wanted to be honest about who she was which in the past she wasn't when it came to her health. So she wrote Real Life Vampire as her title and after an hour she had finished her essay and after rereading it she pressed the send button. 

A few days before her classes started, she was up in her room looking Thru her clothes trying to find something to wear on her first night of class. She heard a ding come from her laptop that was on her bed and she went over to see what it was and she noticed she had a email.  She sat on her bed and opened the email to see if was from her teacher about the essay she had turned in. The teacher gave her a good grade which she knew she would get writing had always come second nature to her. The main thing that made her nervous about starting classes was meeting people. She had been a loner pretty much her whole life besides the few friends she made online from different chat rooms. She didn't really know how to relate to people her own age, maybe the reason for that was her EPP.  She had a cousin who would come visit once a year who was her age but even with her she didn't have anything in common with and as they got older she stopped coming around all together.
