The first thought that crossed my mind was Oh wow, a lion!

The long haired blonde raised a perfect eyebrow, expecting me to say something as she stared at me with green calculating eyes.

Mmm, one of those.  I walked past her, adjusting the strap on my shoulder and continued to walk down the hall until she spoke.

“Not even going to apologize? Ungrateful.” She tossed her hair over her shoulder, holding herself as if she were queen. A bubbling rage began to surface in me but I tried to shove it down as I looked back in her direction.

I sneered,” Sorry, lion mane.”

Her eyes widened, a look of brief astonishment before she covered it up with a grin,” Oh. You’re the new girl? Figures we’d get someone covered in rags.”

This bitch was just dying for a black eye. I turned fully in her direction, looking down briefly at my black skinny jeans and torn black tank. My jaw clenched.

“It comes with the school doesn’t it? I thought that’s what you were wearing? Oh. By the way, you might want to get a bigger size. You look a bit overweight.”

Her arm went slack at her side as she sputtered. I watched smugly as her face turned into a furious blush. “You don’t know who-! Wait…you were with Castiel weren’t you?” Her eyes turned into angry slits while I blinked mine in confusion.

Flames? What does he have to do with this? The blonde put a hand on her hip, flipping her hair once again. A smirk appeared on her face as the redness disappeared, “You think just because you’re the new girl; he’ll take a liking to you? Ha! In your dreams.”

I took a couple steps closer unaware as my hand turned into a fist. When did she see me with him? Oh, probably one of the kids who were crossing the courtyard earlier.

“Bitch. I don’t even know you and already you’re trying to pick a fight with me?” She better know what she’s in for.

“Amber’s the name and you better stay away from him. He’s taken.”

“I don’t care about your name. I just got here so clearly you. Don’t. Know. Me.” Her eyes flickered down to my hands briefly and looked back up, registering the tone of my voice. A malicious gleam flashed through my eyes while my mind registered footsteps down the hall. My jaw began to clench and unclench as I struggled to control my temper. I loosened my fists as the footsteps grew closer.

My eyes flickered to the side, briefly showing surprise at the sight of my sister along with a blond boy beside her. Amber swallowed and her face completely changed back to the way I first saw it. Stuck up.

“Oh? There’re two of you?” she was about to say more until the blonde interrupted, “Amber. Why aren’t you in class?”

Her gaze flicked over to me and then back to the boy with a smile,” I was looking for you. The teacher sent me to run some errands. But instead I ran into some trash.”

I stiffened at the insult; my hands back into fists but I willed myself not to throw a punch. My anger boiling, I decided to save it for later and put a lid on it. Just you wait lion head. Dragon stepped closer to me, trying to hide her worry and confusion. They might not see it but I could. I resisted the urge to snort at how ridiculous she was.

The boy, who I now suspected was Nathaniel looked between me and my sister,” You two are twins?”

Dragon opened her mouth but I was faster, dying to get out of here,” Yeah. I already did what had to be done by the way. I left it on your desk, table whatever.” I shrugged, trying to appear careless but I sent a death glare at Amber, shoving my shoulder against her as I walked past. I smirked when I heard her stumble back a few steps knowing they couldn’t see my face.
