Alice
lets pretend that there are no boundaries in Forks, k?)
There are approximately 1,010,300 words in the English language, but I could never string enough words together to properly express how much I hate school. Driving to school was easy. All I had to do was take a car, and boom, I´m human. If iḿ being honest, though, I would much rather have run. When I pull into the school, I sigh, and practice my smile in the mirror. Although school has already been in session for a couple hours, kids were still walking inside. Off periods, or some just plain old lazy, not wanting to get up for school. I leave my umbrella inside my car when i step out. I have no need for it, as it is pretty cloudy, so I don't need to worry about the sun. when I step out, I try to hide behind my long hair, but barely succeed. students stop and stare, some whispering, some just gaping. Different scents fill my nostrils. Humans, and the smell of wet dog. Wolves. great. Some vampires have no control over their thirst, but I thank myself for the self-taught restraint. I ignore the stares and walk towards my class. I pause by the door, and walk in. Everybody stops chatting and I feel their eyes on me, but I ignore them, walking up to the semi-blushing teacher.
¨Ah. You must be Alice.¨ Mr. harry says. I wear my forced smile.
¨Yes. I am.¨
¨Welcome. we do not have many open seats, so I’ll sit you next to Gabe.¨ He said pointing at a typical frat boy. I crinkle my nose, and sit next to Gabe. I ignore the stares I am getting. At least I get to sit by a window, I think to myself, and watch a bird fly branch to branch right outside the window. I must have zoned out for a while, because Gabe was trying to get my attention. I look at him in the corner of my eye.
¨Hey are you tweaking or something?¨ he whispered. i could smell the alcohol on his breath, probably from the night before, and his eyes were like pin needles, which told me he was probably high, too.
¨If any of us are tweaking right now, Gabe, it´s you.¨ A nasally girl said behind me. I grab the book from under my desk and open it, because the teacher told us too.
¨Alice.¨ He said in a semi stern voice.
¨Yes?¨
¨I´m pairing you into a group of 3. you will be with... Jasper and Lisa.¨ He said pointing. The boy, Jasper, is 6′3" tall and has honey blond hair that falls just above his collar. He is muscular, but lean, and he has pale, marble-like skin, inhuman beauty and bruise-like purple shadows under his eyes. I sharply inhale. Another vampire. I quickly look to Lisa, but hear a Heart. She's human. Lisa is a blonde girl with lipstick that is too bright, tight clothes and I can already tell that she is intelligent, manipulative, and capable of doing everything in her power to get what she wants.
I sigh, sort of relieved at the thought of not being the only vampire. But at the same time, what if his coven, if he had one, is territorial? I look back and forth between the two, debating on weather or not i should ask to be with another group, when I sigh, and walk over to them. Jasper doesn't give away any of his emotion, but the moment I am close, I get a wave of Paranoia, and it feels like a warning. I halt, and Lisa rolls her eyes.
¨Of course he pairs us with the new girl. What's your name?¨ She asked, looking at her bright pink nails.
¨Alice.¨ I said smiling a fake smile.
¨Nice to meet you Audry-¨
¨Alice.¨
¨Whatevs. We were just talking- Jasper and I- and we were wondering whose house to go study at?¨ She said looking at me with her annoying face. God i just want to punch her I think.
Lisa turns practically making googily eyes at Jasper.
¨What about yours?¨ She asked twirling a strand around a finger.
¨No. Not mine.¨
¨Well, it looks like its at your house.¨ She said looking at me. I panic. There was NO way this girl was finding out I didn´t have a house. and even if I did, I woudn´t let a rat like her in it.
¨No.¨ I said. She laughs.
¨what?¨ she asked.
¨Didn´t you hear me? I said no.¨ The bell rings in the background, and me and her stare at eachother.
¨What are you emberrassed about your family?¨ She asked scoffing.
¨Don´t have one.¨I quipped staring her down.
Jasper looks at me.
¨...You moved out already?¨ she asked.
¨No.¨ I mumbled, and walked out of the classroom. I run into another vampire in the hallway, and he growls at me. I tremble slightly. He was Big-muscled, with dark curly hair. I gulp. Coven is DEFINITELY territorial. Best to steer clear of them.
¨Alice.¨ I heard Mr. Harry say. I turn around.
¨ If you don't feel comfortable-¨
¨ I'll work on this project alone. It's fine.¨ I say and quickly walk away.
