Shadows in the Darkness (Afterlife)

Chapter 3

I walk into Mr. Yates classroom. Its like any other classroom you see at any other school. Yeah, we learn the same stuff we learn in a science class at any other school. But the students, is what makes this classroom different.

Supernaturals.

I sit down somewhere in the back. Char next to me on the left. I like sitting in the back corner. Its where the window is, so I can see it rain sometimes.

I look out the window, and watch the drops fall, as kids come into the classroom. I rest my head on my hand, lost in the sparkly drops, that are my tears. 

I hear someone clear there throat, and I look up. The bell rings. 

In the front of the room is Mr. Yates. His hair brown, his eyes a light green. He's tall, as most Chameleons are. He wears a white button up shirt, and jeans. He's pretty chill. 

Then he starts rambling on and on about this class for the year and all the "happy" stuff. 

I turn my head to the right. Looking at my classmates.Its pretty much a mix of hair colors. Char's hair stands out to me.

Dark blue is all I see before my vision blurs.

"Do you know what they call us?" I say, but it isn't my voice. A voice I've heard, but can not place. I look at blonde hair as I say it. I feel as if I'm sitting on a bus.

The hair moves, but I can't see the person's face. "Who calls us?" a girl voice asks. I still look at the blonde. 

"The kids who go to the other camps. There's like six camps in the three-mile radius in Fallen." I say. Using both my hands I pulled back my hair and hold it there for a few seconds. 

After a moment, I speak again; "They call us boneheads."

"Why?" the blonde moves again. 

"The camp used to be called Bone Creek Camp." I say. "Because of the dinosaur bones found there."

"Ha," said another voice, male. "They also call us boners."

A few laughs echoed from around the bus. "Why is that funny?" said a female voice, not like the first one, more deep. An alto.

"You don't know what a boner is?" the male voice asks, popping up a little bit. His hair blonde, but I can't see his face either. "If you'll come sit beside me, I'll show you."

I turn to see a girl in all black, get up from her seat. "Don't do it," I say, looking at her. She turns towards me. I can't see her face. I get up and walk over toward the girl in the aisle. And I whisper in her ear what a boner is. 

My vision clears. 

I look up from staring at my desk. The class is getting up. I follow suit. I feel a hand on my arm. I grab it and crush the fingers. I hear a low yelp. 

I look at the person's hand. I follow the arm toward the person. Mr. Yates. I gulp.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean too, I was just defending myself. Sorry" I say, I cradle his hand in mine. I close my eyes and start to heal him. 

Once healed, I apologize again. He just shakes his head. I sigh, grabbing my stuff, I follow Char out.

Dinner tonight is one of my favorites. Mac & Cheese. I sit there eating happily to myself, Char next to me, watching one of the new boy shapeshifters. I look around the room. One thing I notice is none of my guards are here. Odd.
