Henry that's easy for you to say, I mean your Mr. Popular; the social guy. You have it so much easier than I ever will have for eternity.

Vlad man its not like your invisible. People talk bout you all the time and everybody ask bout you. Plus Meredith even looks at you.

Well yeah sure they talk bout how pale, weird and tall I am. Sure you would see her look at me as if I'm about to murder her.

Damn it Vladimir! Will you stop beating yourself up, it's a new year and that means you can change your ways. Now come on Nelly, has already left for work not like I wouldn't love to stand in your kitchen all day but were going to be late for our first day of 8th grade.

As soon as we got to school we went straight to the gym. Henry went off with some other group of kids, the "popular ones," the ones that had not excepted me or the way I dressed. Just then the principle had walked in "Hello and did everyone have a good summer? I hope we did! Now I will let you off to 1st period."

"Vlad wait up!" Henry had yelled. "say what's your locker number?"

"I have number 13" I muttered

Henry chuckled, "I have number 17!"

Great… Not!

"What class do you have now? "

"I have health! How about you?"

"I have English"

"Well hopefully we will have some classed together! Well see ya later man!"

As soon as I found my English class I took a seat all the way in the back like always. What do you know Meredith the girl of my dreams walks in with her pretty brown locks, big brown eyes, tan warm skin, wearing a black color striped mini skirt with a nice sweater . She sat in the third row to the front same as I but up further. Just as the bell had rung a girl with black hair, thick eye liner. Just like me, with pale skin. Wearing a black and pink checkered hoodie and black skinny jeans and pink pumps. Had ran in. the creepy old guy wearing a purple top hat that is now my substitute teacher had stood in front of the whole class and asked the girl. Are you Scarlet Lace Ember?
