Ten Year Secret

New School

Summer POV

It was the middle of the year and I held my dad’s hand tightly as we walked through my new school. I was 7 years old and starting Year One. A lady with a blonde perm and purple rimmed glasses showed us around the school, she took us to my brother’s classroom first. His name is James and he had brown hair with mud brown eyes. We said goodbye and good luck to each other and then he went to his classroom. He was in Year Two and is 8 years old. Then she headed towards my new classroom.

We had moved schools because my mum had died a year ago from cancer and my dad didn’t want us growing up in the environment so we moved. We walked down a very long corridor and then we stopped at a door. It was a blue door with the words ‘Year One’ in colourful writing.

“I’ll be just a minute…” said the lady and she walked into the room.

“Daddy, I’m scared,” I said.

My dad looked down at me then bent down to my level. He had mud brown eyes with caramel hair.

He played with my fingers and said, “You’ll be fine. I will be here to pick when school is finished.”

I nodded and a tear ran down my cheek. He pulled me into his arms and hugged me then he pulled back to look at me. He put a hand in my straight dark brown hair and looked into my bright green eyes.

“You look so like your mother…” he whispered.

He wiped my tear away and smiled.

“They’re gonna make fun of me because of my eyes…” I moaned.

He did a short laugh, “Your eyes are the most beautiful thing in the world,” he said and he kissed my forehead.

Chase POV

Miss Keller walked into classroom; she had a worried look on her face. My teacher, Mrs Flinders looked up at her surprised.

“Oh Miss Keller, has the new student arrived?” she asked.

Everyone stared at her and then she walked over to Mrs Flinders and whispered something in her ear.

“Keep an eye on her; she is really nervous…” Miss Keller whispered.

Mrs Flinders nodded and then looked at us, “Children…a new student named Summer Seasons is coming into our class. Make her feel welcome.”

Miss Keller walked out of the room and I looked at Duke and Shane who sat in front of me. Duke had caramel hair that was everywhere, Shane had blonde hair. I looked at Heath and Shane and they met my eyes.

Wonder what she looks like… thought Shane. He had black hair that swept across his face.

Let’s hope she’s good looking laughed Heath. He had the dark brown hair. And just like the rest of us; he had pale white skin and very muscular bodies. We all had yellow eyes but whenever we fed or got angry, we had bright red eyes.

We all laughed and then we looked away from each other and towards the door. I smelt Miss Keller walk in and then I sensed the presence of a young girl with her dad. She walked around the corner and her beauty struck me.

Everyone gasped and all the boys stood up as if to greet her. The girls stared at us with open mouths. She had dark brown hair and the most beautiful bright green eyes. She wore navy jeans with sneakers and a blue jacket. I could feel her unease as she looked around the classroom. I noticed that the girls were glaring at her which is why she didn’t feel right.
