Bloody hands

Chapter 1.0: First Day in a new school

Selena's POV

"Selena! Get up, you lazy bum! You have to go to school!" the voice of my sister wakes me from dreamland. Half-awake I yell back: "Yeah, I'm coming!" and forced myself to get out of bed. >Ugh, school...< I put on my black skinny-jeans, a t-shirt, my hoodie and converse, got my simple black backpack and slid on the banister down into the living room.

My sister, Alex, was standing there and threw an apple my way. She was really pretty with short, dark brown, nearly black, hair. Some strands were tinted teal and blue. Her eyes were the same light blue as mine, but I had long, blonde hair. Alex was three years older than me, 19. She was wearing her work clothes: jeans with a white blouse and sandals. I caught the apple and bit into it.

"Come on, shorty. Else you would be late for school and I would be late for work."
Alex took care of me since our parents died five years ago. We moved from Italy to America, to get a new start.
At the beginning, I didn't want to move and leave all my friends behind but Alex finally convinced me to come with her.

I got my phone put an earplug in and began listening to Wolf in Sheep's Clothing by Set It Off, one of my favourite songs. Alex dropped me off in front of the school building and I began singing along in my head.

I entered the school and began to walk around aimlessly, on my search to get the timetable from the office, but the building was big and I was getting lost.
>Stupid school, why do you have to be this big?! Hopefully I won't get too lost...<
A kind voice pulled me from my thoughts:
"Hey! Are you new here?" A girl with kind hazel eyes and brown hair stood in front of me and smiled.
"Yeah, I am. My Name is Selena Blackmoon. Nice to meet you!" I smiled back and we shook hands.
"Nice to meet you too! I'm Maya Smith. You look a little lost, perhaps I could help you?"
I smiled again.
"Is it that obvious? I'm looking for the secretary's office to get my torture plan, I mean timetable."
Maya laughed and indicated for me to follow her.

With her help, I finally got my timetable. Apparently, we had some lessons together, so Maya showed me the way to homeroom.
I put one foot into the class and everyone stared at me. Maya told the teacher why we were late, to which he said that it was fine. She went to her seat and sat down. The teacher told me to introduce myself, so I did.
"Hi, I'm Selena Blackmoon, I'm 16 and am originally from South Tyrol, Italy. Nice to meet you!"

I sat down next to Maya, who I already considered to be my friend, and began to doodle in my notebook.
I didn't know why, but I felt watched so I looked up and around.

I made eye contact with the cold blue eyes of the boy sitting to my right. He had platinum blonde, nearly white hair and was wearing a grey shirt with a black jacket over it. The hood of the jacket had a fur rim.
He was also wearing a silver necklace with a pendant that was hidden underneath his shirt, some simple jeans and comfy looking sneakers.
He was attractive, I'll admit that, but he was giving me a weird vibe. After a little staring contest, he got back to work. I made a small mental note to later ask Maya about him.

The bell rang and I gathered my stuff. Time for the math lesson, yay... Maya and I walked out of the classroom and made our way to the next lesson.
"Hey, Maya? Do you know anything about the boy that was sitting on my right? We kind of had a little staring contest during homeroom..."
She looked at me for a short time and immediately started talking like a waterfall:
"That was Jack Johnson! Him and his brother Ryan are the best students in this school. They're good in every lesson but Jack is more of a maths and stuff kind of guy, while Ryan is sporty and artsy. Jack doesn't talk all that much and is almost always with his brother or his little 'learning group'. Ryan on the other hand doesn't have much of a good reputation except in his sport and art skills. If you ask me, he's a major asshole but all bitches run after him either way. If he isn't with Jack, he has some tacky bitch with him or is seen with the sports club. Jack's the same age as us, Ryan is one year older. If I were you, I would keep my distance from both, they're both not really nice or likable. Talk about the devil and he shall appear. The guy standing up ahead is Ryan."
