It seems forever when a day passes by and the person who is most important in your life isn't there. Right now many girls would think this is one of those sappy romantic love stories, but it's not, it's about my best friend Sky, how we couldn't be friends because of who we are and what we are. The struggles we had to face and how we hoped they would forget the past. Anyways, I probably should get on with our story.

It was the first day of high school at Lovell High School home of the Grizzlies and you'd think everything would be normal. Well, it never was for me, even at different schools. I was different, but no one knew that. My long black hair that stopped at my tailbone easily concealed my pointed ears, being taller than the humans wasn't so abnormal; I wasn't much taller than the average girl. No one ever noticed my clouded violet eyes; no one looked twice in my direction, ever. Everyone would pass me, never acknowledging me existence. As sad as it was, that's how I wanted it to be. I mean, what would the other students think if they knew I was an elf?

An elf doesn't belong in this world, but my parents wanted me to study the mundane, so because I have to respect all my elders, I had no choice, it was an Elven Law. There were many Elven Laws and if disobeyed there were horrible punishments, but rightly deserved. First was stripped of powers except immortality. Second, stripped of immortality and put in prison. Our last one is really brutal, beheaded, bur we rarely used that one. Before any sentence was passed it had to go through the Council of Elders. The laws here were strange to me, I didn't understand them.

I walked into my homeroom which was on the top floor of this four story school, in room four ten. I picked the seat at the back of the class and in the corner. Everyone else shuffled into the room before the bell rang. When the bell rang the teacher came into the room.

He was tall, had dirty blonde hair, silver eyes, and wore glasses. He looked as if he was in his early thirties, according to the way they age, I was two hundred thirty one and I looked like a sixteen year old human. He was beautiful, the way his eyes sparkled in the lights, but it was all ruined when I saw his aura, it was green and it mixed with the rest of the auras in the room. I couldn't help but look down, I hated seeing their emotions, and it was like a mood ring you couldn't get rid of. Then he started reading off the names, "Tina Andrews?"

A girl with black hair and dark skin raised her hand and said, "Here."

He read through name after name. While he was doing that my mind wandered off into my room where my beautiful white cat was laying, they called her breed Persian. Just as he said my name I zoned back in, "Ariana D' Angelo?"

I quickly raised my hand and replied, "Here."

Everyone turned around and got a look at me. Then went back to waiting for their name to be called When the teacher came across the name Skylar Mack, he repeated it just as a girl walked into the room. This girl didn't have an aura. "I'm Skylar, but I'd rather be called Sky, please," she was sweet, I mean all sugar and spice. She almost reminded me of a pixie all sweet and nice. Even her looks did that, brown wavy hair, ice blue eyes and she didn't even have to look it, she acted it.

"Please go take a seat by Miss D' Angelo. Miss D' Angelo raise your hand please." I raised my hand then quickly put it down as everyone turned around again then faced the front. She came and sat next to me. Her scent hit me; it was a sweet mixture of Cherry Blossoms and Willow Tree. That was really strange too.

"Alright students, I'm Dr. Hayden Andrew, your English and homeroom teacher. Now, let's get this strait, you will call me Dr. Andrew, not Doc, not Dr. Hayden, or by my first name, Hayden, just Dr. Andrew. Now that that's covered, let's get started," his voice was more beautiful than he was; with that he started handing out text books.

I noticed that someone's eyes were boring into my right side. I turned my head and snapped, "What?"

Sky, a bit shaken by what I had just said and replied quietly, "I was just admiring your art work, it looks so real and really pretty." She went back to the book Dr. Andrew handed to her.

Then he gave me mine, my eyes looked into his silver ones. His hand gently brushed mine as he took his hand away. It was like a flame in me sparked, my heart started pounding, and I could feel my face get hot as he walked over to the next row.

Then, Sky's eyes were on me again, I sighed, "What is it now?"

"Can you teach me to draw like that, I mean your drawings are so perfect," she pleaded.

"Thank you, it's a natural gift," I said flipping through the pages of the text book that was titled, Journeys. Damn, I felt like a bitch. I wanted to apologize to her but my dignity was well… one of our laws. You can't take back said or done.

"I forgive you," it was as she had read my mind. It was so strange to think that she acts all preppy and pretty much perfect, also can read minds. What the hell was she?

* * *

There is so much that she can't know about me and my life, being part fairy part witch yet I can't be in either world for a long amount of time one because I'm a silly half breed who doesn't have chance. Stupid people always saying what I can and can't do others may think it can be all good and grand to be of two different species but it's not.

"Alright class, listen up, quite down." Dr. Andrew said at the front of the class, "each assignment this year will either be a group project or partner project. Now either project I will chose who you are to work with. Now since it's the first day I will let this first project be not so important. I'll tell you what the project and you are partnering with next class now talk freely."

All the thoughts in this class were ridiculous! All were about the Ariana and Dr. Andrew. Going on and on about how weird she is and about how hot he is. Please give me a freaking break. I decided to get up eyes following me as I walked up to the teachers' desk.

"Dr. Andrew can I please leave I have a headache and with the noise of the talking it keeps getting worse." I asked sweetly.

"Yes, why don't you go with someone, that way you won't get into trouble just go to the library. Miss D' Angelo you look like you have nothing to do please go with Miss Mack to the library." He said looking at her.

"My god I've never seen such a beautiful girl in my life. Wait what am I thinking she's too young I'll get in trouble if I let it get the best of me maybe she'll just get with someone her own age. I hope I don't see that." He kept going on and on about her man I need help but I can't do it here.

She nodded and got to her stuff and headed towards the door. We didn't speak at all but I could hear her thoughts, I swear to the freaking Nyx that I am going to control this stupid power this year without a potions help.

I was about to talk when a saw a certain figure coming up the hall way towards us. He was tall dirty blonde hair with red and black streaks scattered everywhere. His electric green eyes dazzling all ways have a hint of a smile in them. He was wearing a shirt that had a vampire mouth on it and on the back it should say bite my love. Black jeans and black high tops finished off his look.

"Sky, another year of you gracing me with your beautiful self," he said giving me a hug and a dazzling smile that made me catch my breath.

"Yes I am, and you and you're flirtatious self like always the summer didn't change you at all but then again I don't know what I'd do if you did change," I said putting on a smile. Linking arms with him, "Oh this is Ariana she's new this year. In my home room class this year; with your brother again, mind you now that your brother has all the girls in the class all googly eyes."

"What can I say he is my brother, he gets my good looks from me," he said to me then turned to Ariana, "by the way I'm Terrance, Hayden's younger brother."

Wow, this girl is kind of weird, her hair is so black and her eyes, I have never seen eyes like that before, Terrance's thoughts roamed through my head, my girl is the only normal one in this school.

"Wouldn't you have gotten your looks from your brother," Ariana said, "seeing that he is your older brother?"

This boy is so full of himself, I can't believe, okay maybe I can believe that she would date an arrogant boy like him, got to note that their ego's are too big for my liking. As much as I wanted to yell at Ariana for her thoughts I couldn't. I had no right to judge people for their thoughts no matter how much they were wrong.

"Anyways, Terrance shouldn't you be in class?" I asked him pushing Ariana's thoughts aside. "Also, we need to get to the library before your brother finds out that we were lollygagging around in the hall."

"Alright," he kissed my forehead and headed off to class. He made me wonder what it was about me that made me stick out. He was the most popular guy in school.

I watched him leave and turn the corner before I headed towards the library. The awkward silence was unbearable. Even listening to her thoughts about Dr. Andrew was annoying.

My people have always said if you feel and electric shock through your body you have found the right person. It's illegal though, he is human and I am elf. Mother and Father aren't going to be happy. No, I can't let them know, that's suicide.

I couldn't stand it anymore, "Ariana, please say something to me I can't stand the silence."

"I don't know how to start a conversation," she said to me.

"What's your favorite color?"

"Umm… silver."

That's how I started to see her, her life was difficult; she wasn't used to these emotions I could tell.
