Summary: Paige McCullers, a 17 year old girl which always bring a mystery with her every time she moves to new town, but what is the mystery she brought that always made her move? Does she had enough reason to stay when she found Emily Fields, a shy and carefree girl from Rosewood. Can Paige hid her true identity from everybody forever?
"You ready for your first day, Paige?" A gray haired woman patted the brunette girl lightly.
"Don't worry Aunt Anna, It's not like I'm going to get into trouble in new school on the first day." Paige said nonchalantly, fixing up her red plaid T-shirt and tied her hair into a loose ponytail.
The older woman stepped in when she saw Paige had a difficulty on tightening her hair "Here, let me help you" The older woman grabbed Paige's hair and neatly tied it into a tidy ponytail, getting a complaint from the younger girl.
"Auntie Anna, you don't have to do this, I'm 17 alright? I can do that on my own" Paige protested.
Paige's Aunt had been the most important person on Paige's life since she was little. Paige always moved from city to city since she was 11 because the reason she never knew why. Although, Paige and her aunt shared a tight bond that keep them together, Paige once confronted her aunt about the reason they never stayed at the same place for the past 6 years but she always said that it's not her place to tell her about it. The only answer she got from her aunt was; where her parent was and why she had been raised by her aunt. She got the most painful answer that no children will ever expected that to be happen. Her parents got murdered, her aunt never told how did they died and Paige didn't want to know about that, they decided to just leave it and never talk about it since.
"Okay, it's all set." The older woman smiled to the teenage girl.
"Thanks Auntie Anna." The brunette stepped aside and flashed the woman a small smile before walked up to her brown cupboard and grabbed an old white and black stripped skateboard from it.
The older woman frowned and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "I thought that we were agree that no skateboard for the rest of the semester here?" She asked.
"Well, am I going to walk for the next 2 miles? Skateboard is a better idea. Plus, I don't want to late on my first day" Paige said while slung her black backpack and carried the skateboard on her right hand. "I'll see you after school." Paige planted a kiss on her aunt's cheek before waving a good bye and ran outside from the house before slipped her right foot on her skateboard and her left foot to push the skateboard forward. Paige never realized that her abilities to learn something quickly such as the first time she ever skating. Her aunt worried sick because of Paige started to use the skateboard and ended up gasping in awe when she saw that Paige almost do a flip in a single try when she was 14. A smile formed on her face when she remembered the memory, it's not the first time she ever done that. Although, she never questioned herself why she can do such a difficult thing in a single try, her religious aunt led her to believe that it was god's entire act. When she pushed the skateboard faster, she remembered the first time her aunt started to concern about her. Ever since, they always moved to different neighborhood and it almost come to her suspicion that they moved because they were avoiding something.
Flashback
Ohio, Paige: 10
"Paige, would you step aside, honey? This thing is kind of heavy." Paige's aunt said while carrying a huge pan full of water to the kitchen's island.
"Sure." The little kid answered softly while stepped aside.
After Paige's aunt put the pan on the island, a sound from the phone echoed throughout the living room and the kitchen.
"Ugh, that must be the seller. Hold up for a minute here, alright? Then we can go cooking"
"Okay" The little Paige answer happily.
Her aunt walked to the phone and answered whoever was on the other line. Paige glanced at her aunt for a minute before she went back playing with her toys. When she was brushing through a doll's feather, a sight of the pan caught her attention. Her aunt inaccurately put the pan and it ended up half of the pan almost fell down.
"Auntie?" Paige called, getting no response from her aunt who still on the phone at the other side of the room.
Paige curiosity made her took a step closer to the pan; she formerly wanted to push the pan so it didn't fell. Suddenly, a cat came out of nowhere and abruptly pushed the pan down to Paige's direction, taking the little girl by surprise. Just in the moment, her aunt came back and she saw Paige straightened her right hand to prevent the huge pan from falling and ended up lifting the pan with both of her hands with no sight of pain on her face.
"Oh my god! Paige, are you okay?" Her aunt ran to the little girl, and widened her eyes in shock.
"I'm fine Auntie, it's not heavy. Look! I will put it back!" The other girl said excitedly before lifted the pan easily back to the island carefully. Her aunt looked like she just saw a ghost, all of her skin turned to pale just a second after Paige put the pan back.
"Auntie, you okay?" Paige snapped her aunt's attention back to reality.
"U-uh, I'm fine honey. Hey, I think we should postpone cooking today. I need to make a call for someone, why don't you just play upstairs and then we'll talk about our next recipe?" Paige's aunt asked nervously.
Paige scrunched her tiny eyebrows together before formed a smile to her aunt. "Okay" The little girl said happily before ran upstairs.
After Paige was out of sight, her aunt quickly dialed a number on the phone and the second after the person on the other line answered, her voice started to become anxious. Little Paige not fully inside her room when she heard her aunt's voice turned to something more nervous. Her curiosity drove her back to the top of the stairs, listened carefully for her aunt's conversation.
"No, it just happened! I didn't know!" She snapped, little Paige curled up to her jacket when she first heard her aunt snapped.
"Look, I know what you told me but I can't do that to her! I can't, it's not my place to tell her that!" She said firmly.
"You think someone will notice it?" Paige scooted closer to the stairs, slightly confused about the conversation.
"If the trace going to be tracked, you think we both will be in danger? What is your solution for that? You are the one who brought trouble here!" Paige's aunt shouted. "Moving? Where? When? I don't have money."
"He did have all of that? You think I should move to New York? It's dangerous if they followed us. I can't risk that" Paige started to concern when she heard her aunt's voice started to low. She knew what that means; her aunt was dealing with a serious problem.
"Okay, we'll go after her birthday. You made sure everything safe, got it?" Paige's aunt said before ended the call. Paige quickly got up from her spot and ran to her bedroom.
Paige's aunt took a deep breath before slowly walked to her niece's bedroom. She found herself smiling when she saw Paige pretend to playing with her toys. Her aunt sat down on the edge of the bed and stroked her niece's hair softly.
"Paige" She called softly.
"What's the matter, auntie?" The little girl asked curiously.
"We will move to New York after your birthday" Her aunt said while sill stroked Paige's short hair.
The little girl scooted closer and put her head on her aunt's thigh. "Why?" She asked innocently.
"Because we need to do something there" She lied.
"I liked it here. I have plenty of friends, I have school. I don't want to move."
A pang of guilt formed on Paige's aunt heart, she didn't want to lie to the little girl but she had to in order to keep them both safe. "Hey, it's a good place. You will get new friends; I promise you will like it there."
The little girl looked up to her aunt and stared at her with big light brown eyes. "You promise?" Paige asked.
Her aunt sighed before she looked at her little niece confidently. "I promise."
Back Time
Paige still clearly confused from the memory, her questions about moving when she asked it to her aunt, she clearly avoided it and just started another topic. Paige didn't want to rush anything to her aunt, clearly because she loves her so much and trust her with all of her soul.
By the time 15 minutes of skateboarding, she found herself in front of her new school. Rosewood High School, she sighed before get off from her skateboard and slung it on her backpack. She caught some of the students stared at her and whispered to each other. She already get used to it, every time she was moving to another city and transferred to another school, she always become the hot topic for a few weeks after she transferred and then a few weeks to before she transferred to another school.
Weirdly enough, she realized that every time she moved because of something she had done that most people can't do. Such as the last time she saved a girl from a big fire at Vegas before she transferred here, she came out carrying the little girl with no wound or even a scratch of burning skin on her beautiful body. When her aunt heard about this, she decided to move again, much to the other girl protest. Paige decided to keep quiet about that. In fact, her aunt made her promise to don't do anything like that again even in an emergency situation if she didn't want to move again.
Paige's steps finally brought her in front of the school hallway. She took out her schedule and she supposed to be meeting the guidance counselor for this morning before her first class. Much from her pleasure, a teacher spotted her and quickly approached, saving her much trouble for asking another student.
"Hello, there. Are you Ms. McCullers?" The black haired man greeted with a formal tone.
"Yes, I am." Paige greeted back.
"Okay, my name is Mr. Fitz, I know you supposed to meet with your guidance counselor this morning but apparently he can't make it today. So, we decided you to take English for this morning." He said casually, getting a smile from Paige.
"Thanks Mr. Fitz."
"So, I guess, we should took you to your locker to keep that thing save." He said, referred to Paige's skateboard.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't have any bicycle and my house really far from here." Paige said while gripping her backpack.
"It's fine; just don't use it on the hallway. By the way, can I check your schedule? Usually, there will be your locker number in there." He said while pointing at the schedule on Paige's hand.
"Sure." Paige said while quickly handed the schedule to her new teacher. The teacher brushed his clean shaved chin before smiled and gave Paige her schedule back.
"Your locker section is on the hallway C. I'm afraid I can't show you there but I will ask a student to accompany you to find your locker"
Paige formed a small smile to the teacher. "Thank you so much. I really appreciated it."
The teacher smiled and about to spoke again when he spotted a new crowd of girls bursting out in laughter and about to head to their respective classes, he quickly called them. "Hey, guys, can you come here for a sec?" He called.
The girls stopped laughing and turned their attention to the teacher and the new spotted girl beside him.
Paige's eyes quickly lay on the raven haired girl in the middle of the crowded girls. She could swear that she heard herself gulp while the girl blushed when she noticed that she was smiling at her sweetly.
"Spencer, Hanna, Aria, Emily. This is Paige McCullers. She is the new student here, so I was hoping that you could accompany her to her locker? If I am correct now you're heading to hallway C, right?" The teacher asked, getting a nod from the other girls.
"Great, now I hope you can be good for her now. I got a lot of work to do. So, see you guys later." The teacher shot a smile before heading back toward his class.
Paige smiled at the girls in front of her but her smile turned wider when she stared at the blushing girl on her leather jacket and shorts. "Hi." She greeted awkwardly.
"Hi." The shortest girl greeted back. "I'm Aria." She extended her hand.
"Nice to meet you" Paige shook her hand casually.
"I'm Spencer and this is Hanna." The slender brunette spoke up and pointing at the blonde girl behind her.
"Nice to see you guys." Paige smiled to Spencer and Hanna before her gaze turned to the tan girl covered in black denim jacket and jeans skirt in the corner of the group, looking nervous and shy.
The tan girl looked up and smiled at Paige coyly before extended her hand nervously. "E-Emily" She stuttered.
Paige quickly found a like on the tan girl and shook her hand softly, she wasn't sure if she going to let go the girl's hand if Spencer hadn't interrupted the awkward tension which began to build around her and the tan girl.
"So, we better get going now. You don't want to late to your first class, right?" Spencer said while touching her red backpack.
Paige reluctantly took her hand away from the shy girl and shot Spencer a forced smile. "Yup, okay." She said awkwardly.
"Don't feel strange on your first day Paige. We're the good girls" Hanna said half joking.
Paige chuckled and shot the blonde a friendly smile.
"So, what do you have on first your first period, Spence?" Hanna asked.
"Calculus, no comment Hanna." The slender brunette said quickly before the blonde spoke.
"Mouth sealed, Aria?"
"You and I have Physics together, don't say you forget it." The shortest brunette said to Hanna.
"Maybe it did slip on my mind" She shrugged. "You, Em?"
The tan girl smiled coyly. "English"
Paige instantly felt sparks inside her chest when she heard the girl is on the same class as her. She hid her excitement with a friendly smile of her own.
"So, Paige, this is hallway C and maybe your locker is one of these lockers." Spencer said once they arrived at the old hallway in the school.
"Okay, thanks…Um… Spencer" Paige awkwardly, she glanced at her schedule and looked at the numbers on the lockers.
"Do you need help finding your locker?" The tan girl asked, surprising Paige beyond belief.
"I…Uh…Um…Sure" Paige stuttered while handed her schedule to the girl.
"Well, I guess we should leave now, Emily will help you. It's nice to meet you, Paige. See you around." Hanna said suddenly and pulled the other 2 girls with her.
"See you, Paige!" Aria and Spencer exclaimed at the same time.
Emily smiled shyly while handed back the schedule to Paige "Follow me."
"Sure." Paige reluctantly followed the girl to a locker near a classroom.
"Your locker is here and you can gather up your stuff and maybe we can walk back to English class together?" She offered, taking Paige completely by surprise, but she just brushed it off. Maybe this girl just being nice or need a company.
Paige smiled and unlocked the door before putting her skateboard to the locker and collected the necessary books before locking it back and turned her attention to the girl.
"Okay, I think this is necessary. So, maybe we can walk now? I really don't want to be late." Paige said quickly, not realizing that she carried too many books and the girl in front of her stared at her in confusion.
"Aren't those too many?" She pointed to the books.
Paige looked down at her books and furrowed her eyebrows. "Is it too many?"
"Mr. Fitz usually didn't made us read too much book for first day, so, you don't have to carry that much." Emily said softly.
"Oh." Paige exclaimed. "I get it." She smiled before unlocking her locker again. She didn't realize that she carried those books with only her left hand and didn't feel heavy at all, which is getting a special attention from Emily.
"Okay, done. So, why don't you lead the way to class?" Paige said after putting back her books back and turned her attention to the stunned girl. "Emily?" She called again.
"Huh? Oh, sure. Let's go back to class." Emily said nervously, still fixing her gaze at Paige' left hand and back to her face, looking a sign of pain from her face which the other girl didn't form.
Paige smiled and followed Emily to their respective classroom.
"Aw, what was that about, Hanna?" Spencer scowled.
"Don't you see the tension between the new girl and Emily? They really are getting pretty sweet over there." The blonde exclaimed.
"Han, Emily just get over from her previous relationship with Samara, I'll doubt she getting there, and I think she is just being nice." Aria said, getting an approval nod from Spencer.
"Duh, don't you see her face? She never gets shy around anyone but someone she likes." Hanna pointed out.
"Okay, that's enough. Emily deserved to like anyone she likes but just stay out of it until you really sure that she indeed like someone. I'm sure she will tell us." Spencer said sternly.
"But—"
"No buts. Just get to class with me." Aria said firmly while dragging Hanna along with her.
"You guys, no fun." Hanna rolled her eyes.
