Andare Via Fidanzato: Chapter 1 - Back to School

The sunlight shown through Angie's window, begging her to wake up and start another day of school. Her long black hair hung lose as she lay in the bed and she let out a deep sigh as her alarm clock went off. Her hand tried to turn the object off, only to knock it off her nightstand onto the ground. This only served to make the noise louder and more of a pain as Angie lay in her bed and finally she found herself sitting up.

Carefully, she moved her legs from her bedding and put her feet onto the cold wooden floor of her room. She then reached down with a petite hand and grabbed the device and shut it off. Glancing up at the calendar she blinked a couple of times. "I forgot that today I go back to school. I should have taken up that offer to attend Alfea instead."

Glancing at her bare feat, Angie found herself frowning at the idea. "Why am I thinking this? I purposefully decided not to attend Alfea because all of my friends are here in the grand old city of Chicago. I know those girls mean well, but I honestly don't fit in with there fancy life style, let alone can I afford the kind of clothes they like to wear. On top of this, I don't want to be anywhere near him. I can't believe he wants to date me because I look like his dead girl friend. The only way I'm going to be able to get away from him is by saying flat out no to going."

She then thought back to what had occurred over the summer and let out a deep sigh as she flopped down onto the bed, placing her arms above her head. "This was one crazy summer, wasn't it?"

Angie suddenly heard her mother yelling at her, telling her that she was going to be late for school. The girl let out a deep sigh of agitation, realizing she had drifted back to sleep. She sat up fast and hurried to get the soft pink pajama top off. She grabbed her school blouse from the hanger and began to carefully button it up. She then began to pull off the pajama shorts and pulled on her school's standard skirt part of the uniform. She then pulled on the stockings and grabbed her bag, hurrying down stairs to slip on her shoes and to slide into the car.

Her younger sister bounced next to her, happy that she would finally be going to the upper section of the private school they attended based on scholarship. Angie found herself turning her head away, not at all happy that her sister was going to be at school to embarrass her. Better yet, it was a good thing none of the girls at her school knew that she had strange abilities. The last thing she needed was her friends thinking of her as a freak. Letting out a deep sigh, she grabbed her backpack and headed to her homeroom class.

As with the previous years, her girlfriends were sitting close to her despite the assigned seating. Fay-May sat working on her nails, having borrowed some nail polish from one of their other friends. She was another scholarship student and she wore a denim shirt over her uniform and talked in a country hick accent. Despite the accent, her family didn't own a farm. Actually, they used to but had to give up the far due to economy issues that were out of their hands.

Fay-May was also the only one who glanced up when Angie came into the room. The twins with their curly blond hair were to busy gossiping about the latest gossip, however Carly happened to notice her next as her chat partner was no longer paying attention to. Camry however was still talking to Lisa who had a rather large smirk on her face. Angie sat down, knowing she would be getting a major lecture from the one friend she had the most problems with.

"I broke up with my boyfriend." Lisa stated, a finger coming up to flick her short blond hair.

"Which one." Angie asked, letting out a deep sigh.

"The one that said he wouldn't date me anymore because I'm pregnant with another guy's baby." The girl smirked, causing Angie to wonder what she had missed over the past month while she was hanging out with the "fairies". Lisa would honestly fit in better with them as she was more inclined to be the cheerleader type.

The girl let out a deep sigh. "Are you telling me you're pregnant?"

"Well, yeah. However, if this gets in the way of me having a boyfriend I'll just go and abort the thing. I'm hoping it will get me cooler boyfriends, ones I haven't yet slept with." Lisa turned her nails around to look at them. "I think I'll change my nail color to a hot pink or a blood red."

"A baby isn't a thing!" Angie found herself shaking her head. "Plus, don't you need your parents to sign off on that kind of thing."

"Well, the guy I was sleeping with was an older guy who happens to know how to get fake ids, so I am not that worried about it. I think he would want to do away with this mistake of his."

Angie let out a deep sigh, just as the bell rang. She began to zone out as she opened up her notebook to write her poetry into. She thus didn't notice that the teacher had introduced a new student. She didn't notice until she heard her name called out. "Hi Angie."

Blinking a couple of times, she realized that someone had called out her name and she realized that her friends, not to mention a few other girls in the class were looking at her. She turned to glance over her shoulder at the other set of six desks in which Fay-May was sitting with Carly. She found herself blinking a couple of times and noticing the maroon haired male sitting there next to her. She suddenly found herself grabbing his arm and pulling him outside of the classroom after he mentioned something about being her boyfriend.

"Hold on..." Angie found her cheeks flushing up. "Riven, what the hell are you doing here!"

"I told you I was serious about being you boyfriend."

"I never said yes. And that is beside the point. All of my friends know that I don't have a boyfriend. They know I don't have an interest in going to go look for them because they... guys are... so immature." Riven however wasn't taking no for an answer and leaned in close to pluck a kiss onto Angie's lips before heading back into class.

He spoke over his shoulder. "That's my reason. Everyone else is here because you inherited her powers and people are after you because of that, particularly since your powers are still very unstable."

"I hate that guy! I can't believe he stole my first kiss!"
