Depths of Death

Chapter 1

I sat there silently; perfectly still. I watched councilors,  teachers, and a few students stroll by. It was never crowded in my schools office, but I guess today was special since there was a hurd of teachers and students surrounding what looked like a new student. I could see between the small cracks of everyone who they were gawking at. It was a young man that looked at least 17 years old with fair skin and dark sparkling eyes. This kid was extremely gorgeous and by what I can tell was a ladys man. He had all the girls around him giggling like manics and practically in a hurry to drop their panties. The girls at my high school were flirtatious whores anyway,  but still I never seen them like this.

"Mr . Evens, Dee Evens, would you come over for just a moment and sign this document. " Ms.Augustine said with her face as red as ever. Most likely that way from blushing so hard. Gross.

Dee Evens, I thought to myself. Was he foreign or something? If so were was he from? Did he have an accent? Did he have a girlfriend?  Why did he come here? The questions were piling up in my my head. I was about to burst!

I looked at him one more time, and to my surprise he was already looking back at me. His gaze made me feel like I was the only person in the room even though there were at least 20 people there.  It was like the air around him surrounded me. I cant explain it but by the way he looked at me, I couldn't tell if I was safe or not.
Safe?

His gaze only made me ask more questions.

After he signed his paper he headed over towards my direction.  My heart almost came out of my chest.

He took a seat right by me and looked at me again. I could feel my face get hot but I knew I wasn't blushing. Or was I?

He smiled at me.

I had never noticed  but his teeth were as white as snow, and his lips looked as soft and warm as a plush blanket. Up close I could see that his skin was clear, and free of pimples and acne. His eyelashes were at least a inch long. His eyes were also captivating,  they were like shiny black diamonds with specks of white circling them. He was so handsome, almost like a dark prince. He reminded me of Adam Lambert or some other hot gothic looking bad boy.

"Hey beautiful", Dee said in a sexy deep tone voice. It made me want to melt the way he bit his lip when he spoke.

"Excuse me" I said in an offended way.

He gently grabbed a curly lock of my hair and twirled it around his finger. He got a little closer and grinned.

"I just said hi", He gave me a fake apologetic face. My image of him was slowly fading away.

"Whatever", I said in annoyance. "So are a new kid?".Of course he was you idoit!

"Yeah I just moved here, I guess you could say that I've toured the world" He was still twisting my hair so I jerked away and gave him a nasty look. His eyes widened from surprise at my reaction and he blushed. By the way, he looked super cute when he blushed. He gave a small chuckle and grabbed my hair again.

I rolled my eyes and asked "Why did you come here, to Arizona? ".

He chuckled again. " Why do you want to know princess?", He had a point, why did I want to know? When did I suddenly find an interest in him. "Do you not feel safe when im around?".

Safe.

There's that word again. "What do you by safe", I said uncertainly. The air around us became tense and I was starting to feel uncomfortable.

Ms.Augustine walked towards us."Im sorry, but Dee will you follow me so I can show you your new classes.". Dee stopped twirling my hair . Relieving, yet oddly heart breaking.

"Sure", he said calmly.  He got up slowly and walked to her, but before that he turned and winked at me.

"Bye sweetheart", he whispered just our of earshot of Ms.Augustine.

I rolled my eyes again and he gave a small chuckle right before he walked out of the room. If he wasn't so damn cute I would have wiped that smirk off his face.

The office was getting quiet and returning to the  hollow of emptiness that it once was. I had almost forgotten why I came here in the first place.  I needed counciling from Mr. David. My uncle Ed died last month and I still haven't gotten over it. I wake up every night crying beacuse of it, and I nightmares about having to go to his funeral again and seeing his pale, lifeless face. It was really getting to me. He was my favorite uncle, we did everything together like fishing, camping, cooking, hiking, homework,  and even just talking in general.

Mineuts passed as I waited for Mr . David. It was clear to me that he wasn't going to come since I set the appointment for 7:30 and it was already 9 o'clock.  I had finally gotten tired of waiting for him and started to head to class. On my way down the red tiled stairs that led to my brightly lit hallway I bumped into Chase Barker. He's the captain of the football team and my ex boyfriend.  Chase had been my boyfriend since sixth grade until he cheated on me last year with Jessica Lexington. The captain of the cheer squad and a total bitch. Shes hated since the third grade because I was prettier than her and since then shes been trying to nake my life misrable. I guess sucking face with the love of my life was the perfect way.

He stood their slouched with his brown hair messily hanging down on his forhead almost covering his emerald green eyes. Beads of sweat ran down his neck all the way to his chest, probably meaning he just left practice. I could honestly say he looked pretty sexy but not nearly as sexy as Dee.  "Hey Sierra, How's it been going?", he asked genuinely wanting to know the answer.  I gave him  a fake smile because I was actually trying to avoid him and this conversation.

"I've been good", I lied. "What about you? ". I desperately tried to act like I was enjoying this chat, but we both knew that deep down inside I didn't care about him or the way he was feeling.  When cheated on me I was devisated.

Chase was more than just a boyfriend he was also my best friend.  He was my very first relationship ever, actually he had been the only relationship I ever had. After I dumped him I started having trust issues with the people around me. If  the person I  loved most betrayed me then couldn't every one eles? I was scared of getting hurt again.  I guess that was why I was getting so defensive when Dee was talking to me.

"Sierra I know what your thinking", Chase grabbed my hand and pulled me into his thick arms.

"I said I was sorry about a 100 times already didn't I. When are we going to get back together?  I miss "us", and I want to go back to the ways things used to be."

He pulled me closer and cradled his face in the nook of my neck. I started to pull away from him. I didn't want to get back together with him, but my jerking away only made him hold me tighter.  I started to feel tears run down my face and realized that they were my own. Why was I crying?

"Get off Chase", I cried. "Why are you even here", I cried even harder.

You're a douche bag! Now let me go.", I was having a mental break down in the middle of the hall . "Maybe if your wiener stayed in your pants we would still be together!", I started to scream.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. It sounded like there were at least 2 or 3 people coming.

"And this way Dee, is were you will find your chemistry class.", it was Ms.Augustine's voice. Holy shit It was Ms.Augustine and Dee!
