Her eyes dazzled, swirled and entrapped those passing her in the dingy corridor. Her face downcast and her gaze firmly planted on the moth eaten floor. As she approached her next class she entered warily and wordlessly stared at the man standing in front of her a podgy man in his forties, with a large pot belly and graying bald hair.
"Would anyone please volunteer to show Acacia around?" he barked irritably.
Immediately a number of hands swayed enthusiastically in the air most of them male and a few grumpy looking females.
"Right could you go plunk yourself down next to Susan?"
Without a glance she went and sat beside the short albino girl who instantly began questioning her.
Where did you come from hey? And what's with the stylish clothes? Come on this is a boarding school for people out of cash mostly orphans no what I mean? I guess I'm one of the lucky few I've still got my Grandma some here aint even got that. There moping around all the time or shrieking there heads of so what's the story with you?
"My life?" Acacia turned to the girl and with a brief smile contemplated telling her that she was one of the shrieking lunatics she had mentioned earlier. However as she began to speak she noticed a guy staring at her from the back of the room his eyes dangerous and his expression cold the words dyed on her lips as she focused and with a shudder she stared down at her clenched fists which were tightly curled in her lap. Who was he and why did that beautiful sculpted face seem so familiar?
Ryan smirked as he saw the new girl tremble and was gripped with an uncontrollable urge to laugh. Had she recognized him? Did she know who he was? If she did then he would have to dispose of her it would be a shame as he had to admit she was striking her shoulder length blond hair glistened in the light in contrast to her light skin and vibrant sapphire eyes.
