Chapter One "My Nightmare Begins"

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

My eyes jerked open in surprise at the sound of my alarm going off. Ugh. I let out a tired groan, rolled over, and slapped the snooze button. I suppose I had to get up sometime. Not that I wanted too, of course. Today was the first day I started my new school, and I was dreading it. I never even wanted to move in the first place. No, I was perfectly content with my school, house, and friends back in Montana. We moved here because of my dad's job. He's a scientist, an astronomer specifically, and some guy from Membrane Labs called him saying Professor Membrane was interested in some of his theories. I guess that's a big deal; working with the man who invented super toast, but I still wasn't too thrilled about moving. I really was happy for him, but…

I yawned, standing up slowly, my feet hitting the cold wood floor. I walked over to my closet and peered inside. After what felt like hours, I finally decided on a bright crimson v-neck sweater, some dark blue skinny jeans that clung to my waist, and my usual pair of black converse. I walked over to my mirror grabbing a brush and running it through my hair, then tied it up in my usual ponytail. I glanced up and looked myself over.

I wouldn't say I was pretty but I wouldn't call myself ugly either. I was... average. I had light emerald green eyes and unnatural snow white pale skin. My hair was a light coconut brown that would reach my mid-back if I didn't pull it up every day. I was scrawny and didn't have much of a 'figure' yet. I sighed, finally settled on my appearance. I grabbed my black backpack and headed downstairs, and into the kitchen. "Ready for school, Sweetie?" Mom called from the stove, frying up the last of the bacon while Dad sat at the kitchen table looking through his science journal with a photo in hand, a plate of eggs set in front of him, another plate set across for me.

"Ready as I'll ever be." I said 'cheerily' as I sat down and started shoveling down food.

"Does somebody have a case of the first day jitters?"

"A little..." I didn't want to admit it bit I was nervous as hell.

"What if nobody likes me? What if I get lost? What if-"

"What if? What if? What if everyone likes you, you don't get lost, and you fit in just fine?"

"I-hm. Okay, point proven."

She smiled at me. My mother was such a kind woman.

I glanced at my dad. "I-hm. Strange. I wonder what the Professor will make of this."

"Wha' if' hit?" I said with my mouth full, momentarily looking up from my food.

He showed me the photo. The normal city night sky, but with a blurry purple dome in the corner

"I've taken a photograph every day at the same time since we moved here last week, and every single one has this same purple blur."

"Fingerprint?"

"The dome moves. Perhaps it's some form of gas produced by the factories around here?"

Just then Mother's watch beeped. 7:30am. My eyes widened. No. Not yet.

"Do you need a ride? I can drop you off on the way to work." My father offered. I thought about it. I really didn't want to be driven to school by the guy in the lab coat, but I literately had no sense of direction so, hesitantly, I agreed to the popularity suicide.

"I guess." I replied before being pushed out the door and into the car. A silver 2015 Ford. It was old but sturdy. Reliable. My father's pride and joy.

The ride took about 15 minutes. I got out and stared up at my new school or skool apparently. I took a deep breath and stepped into the building. I walked slowly into the office. "Um. I'm Jenn Roberts. The new girl and uh -"

"Relax kid." The office man said. "Anyway you're going to be in ' class." He handed me some papers. You know the usual. A student handbook and a map. "Good luck... you're gonna need it." I felt a chill run down my spine. Was she really that bad? Well only one way to find out. I stepped out into the hallway. Scanning the nameplates on the doors until I finally found it. ' class. Room 307. I shakily opened the door and stepped in. In the front of the room there was a slender old woman in a black dress and thick bifocals. I guessed that this was Ms. Bitters. She looked at me and then back to the class. "Class meet the newest hopeless appendage to the student body. Her name is Jenny-"

"Actually ma'am I uh I go by Jenn." I stated nervously, turning a tomato red. She shot me a glare that sent chills down my spine. "Well Jenn if you have anything to say, say it now, because after this moment I don't want to hear another sound out of you!" I didn't say anything. I just scanned the room for a seat...

*Gasp* "Zora, This looks exactly the same as The New Girl in Skool! I thought you said this was a rewrite!"

Calm down dear reader. It IS a rewrite. Sort of. I'm lazy so instead of rewriting perfectly good content... The plot isn't changing. Hell at first I wasn't even going to create a new story but I doubted how many of my readers would actually go back and read the revised chapters. I thought it too much of a hassle. So this was born. I will be reading through the old chapters, rewording a few scenes and pretty soon I should be putting out ACTUAL new content.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Until next time,
