First day of school, every kid's nightmare. Probably the worst day of the year, followed by those other horrendous school days. But that's not really the worst. You do get to see your friends, but that's pretty much it. First day of school at a completely new school? That's the worst.

My name is Athena. Athena Victoria Caravella. Yeah, as you might have guessed by now, or not, I am starting a new school. I had to leave all my friends behind, not that I had a lot. But still, the point is that I don't know any of these people. The only person I do know is Maggie, my younger sister, but that kinda doesn't count because she's a sophomore and I'm a senior plus she's my sister. Maggie and I are like Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum, Drusilla and Anastasia, and Anna and Elsa. We are much more than just sisters, more like best friends.

I wasn't exactly the total dork in my old school, but I wasn't a Regina George either. Through all those tough times, we were always their for each other. I know this sounds kind of sad, but she is the only real best friend I ever had.

I looked into Maggie's dark brown eyes and sighed. To be honest, I hated- no, despised school. It made me feel so depressed. I grabbed her hand and squeezed it tightly, not letting go.

"Promise me you'll be okay?" She asked.

"I promise if you promise too."

"I promise too." She smiled.

I let go of her hand, and watched as she walked away, into Beacon Hills High School. Maggie's more talkative than I am, so I bet she'll make friends quicker. I reached into the pocket of my flannel shirt and took out a crumpled sheet of paper: my schedule.

First period, Advanced Bio. Dammit. I'm so unprepared for this. I threw the schedule back into my pocket and walked inside the most dreaded place on earth. I tried to find my locker, and eventually found it after five minutes.

05-29-16. I opened my locker and threw my books in it. Turning around, I noticed a group of people walking near me. One of them, a guy, looked at me then went back to doing what he was doing but it sure didn't look like he forgot about me.

I was pretty late for first period, kinda depressing on a first day of school, but I seriously don't care. It was the middle of class and everyone turned to me as I walked in.

"You must be the new student." The teacher smiled, leading me to my seat. "Everyone this is Athena."

I forced a smile and sat down in my seat, making sure not to make any eye contact. "Let's be nice to her on her first day here."

Seeing Biology was never my best subject, I eventually dozed off. I looked over to my left and there he was again. That same guy. But only this time, he smirked and did not look away. Oh shit, is it visible? God, I hope not. I reached into my green, zebra print pencil case and fished out a small mirror. Looking into it, everything was normal. I sighed with relief. If anyone ever found out, I would be roast beef. Literally maybe.

I glanced quickly to my left again and sure enough he was still looking at me.

"What?" I growled, obviously pissed off.

"You are one aren't you?" He smiled.

"I don't have any idea what you're talking about." I raised my hand and excused myself from class.

I speed-walked towards the bathroom, looking back once in a while. Thankfully, he wasn't following me. I made a quick turn and bumped into someone.

"Where are you going?" He grinned.

"Geez, do you have to stalk me? I'm just going to the bathroom. Uh, lady business?"

"Yeah I know." He walked closer towards me, not looking away from my eyes.

"What do you want?" I backed up against the locker.

"I just was curious. You're not.. normal?"

"You have serious issues. What the hell are you talking about?"

His eyes turned bright yellow, really not cool. As if with instinct, my eyes turned as well, making him smirk.

"Theo, leave her alone." A voice growled. The guy backed up from me and smiled, before retreating.

"Hey I'm not so sorry about him." The other guy walked towards me.

"I hope so." I looked at him.

"I'm Stiles by the way."

"Athena. And, thanks for um.. saving me?"

"It's no big deal. Theo's kind of a bitch. I mean, no one believes me. You're new?"

"Yeah." I looked down, kicking the floor softy.

"Hey, let's go back to class okay?" He looked at me, noticing something was wrong.

"I'll catch up. I have to go to the bathroom."

"Alright then." Stiles said, and disappeared.

I took a deep breath and walked towards the bathroom, hoping no one else was stalking me. After I finished my "business", I got out and stopped in the middle of the door way. Let's just say I get quite easily lost all the time. I decided to take a left turn and kept walking, crossing my arms against my chest.

My steps started getting shorter after I started hearing weird noises. Suddenly, three tall figures, which looked like some creepy scientists of some sort started "strolling" inside the school. Paralyzed with fear, I couldn't move, until something grabbed my arm, pulling me.

"W-what the hell?" I whipped my head and saw that Theo kid again. He pulled us into a dark room, shutting the door behind him.

"What the fuck was-?" I yelled, but was interrupted when he covered my mouth. "Shh." My eyes slowly made their way towards his. I could feel his chest really close to mine, making me feel uncomfortable. I started sweating and getting hot out of a sudden.

I pulled away and tried to go to a different corner, but from what little things I could see, the room was really tiny, like a closet.

"Oh my god. Oh my god." I started pacing back and forth, breathing heavily.

"Hey, hey what's wrong?" He grabbed my arms.

"No no. I- I have to leave." I tried getting past him.

"You do know they're still probably out there."

My heart started beating much faster. I noticed Theo's heartbeat was calm, not as bad as mine. I had to get out of this room now. Why? Well, I mean this tight space was really getting to me and I was alone in here with a guy. To be really really honest, a kind of cute guy. All the other guys at my old school were ugly as fuck. Why am I even thinking about that at a moment like this?

I tried to run towards the door, but Theo stood in my way. "You're okay?"

"Do you want me to barf on you?" I crossed my arms.

He chuckled, "Fine, let's go back to class then." As he walked away, his hand brushed against mine, but not by accident. My cheeks started burning, and I bet they were as red as a tomato by now.
