"I'm Daily." I smiled and presented a cheery exterior, while my mind screamed Just give me a seat already!
Mrs. Hanger just waved her hand absentmindedly at an empty seat, next to a boy with brown blonde hair. Something about him just screamed familiarity, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I scrambled to my seat, desperate for some much needed ambiguity. A sigh of relief escaped my lips against my will. I had almost glitched out while the stress of everybody's stares built up inside me. The burning between my shoulder blades receded thankfully. The strange boy leaned over and whispered
"My names Chase Davenport." Almost immediately, my back straightened and my pulse raced. No. No no no no no. No. It can't be... I swallowed thickly and turned to him with an easy going smile
"April. And nice to meet you. I'm new." I laughed bitterly. "But I guess you already knew that." His presence threw me off. I know I had wanted to meet them my whole life, but now I just felt stone cold fear, creeping into my bones. To take my mind off of it, I tried to throw myself into the lesson. Sadly, with my super intelligence, trigonometry just wasn't holding my attention. On the edge of consciousness, a fire-alarm like sound jolted me awake. I tried to hide my discomfort and I stumbled to the door in a haze of pain. I tried to close my eyes, just for a moment, but I ran straight into someone I couldn't see, in a tangle of arms and legs.
"Errrr, mmmmmhhhhhhfllleeerrgg." I made unladylike grunts to myself as I untangled my self from who I know identified as Chase. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm just tired and I'm sorry and the bells just-" He cut me off and offered me a hand.
"Give you headaches? I know. Me too." As I grabbed his hand, I felt a jolt of electricity run from my wrist to my elbow. He must have felt it too, because he pulled away.
"Oh yeah, no I'm fine." I said, waving away his concerns as I lurched toward the door of the lunch room. But I guess the stress of the moving and changing schools again had finally reached its limit. I felt a familiar burning in my eyes. "Oh no. No no no no." I muttered.
He came closer." Are you OK?!" This time I couldn't answer him because my ice vision burst a shivery blue ray onto his feet, fussing him to the floor, and I passed out, Greg fading to black.
