Annelise walked down the halls of La Brea High with confidence. It was her
second week at the new school, and she had already made friends with the
"in" crowd. She wasn't going to blow this school year. Annelise walked up
to her locker, which was conveniently placed beside one of the cutest guys
she had ever seen, and started to unlock it. She tried to ignore the guy's
stares and keep her eyes ahead of her, but her eyes betrayed her. She
glanced over at the boy called Trevor Eversole, and smiled. She knew it was
probably one of her nervous ones and could feel her face heat up with
embarrassment. Trevor smiled back and leaned against the lockers, trying to
look cool, which he was doing quit nicely.
"Hey new girl. What's your name again, Annalise?" He said smoothly.
"It's actually Annelise, Annelise Latini." Trevor for a second, looked a bit annoyed, but then regained himself. "Uh....but.....who cares about names anyway?"
"So...princess, are you going to Planet Bang this week?" Trevor asked as he moved a little closer to Annelise. The girl's heart jumped, but then she thought about what a jerk this guy seemed to be.
"Maybe....I suppose. Is it really that great?"
"Of course it is! Everyone goes and there's great music. Plus, I'll be there."
"I-"Annelise began, but was cut off with the feeling of worms going through her head. She felt her temples and looked around the area. She spotted Serena Killingsworth and her friends staring at her. Serena looked like she was in a deep trance and a chill suddenly went up Annelise's spine. *Those girls have been watching me since I first came to this school*, she thought. *I wonder if they really are witches......no. It can't be. They don't exist....do they? I do know that Bryson talks about goddesses and followers sometimes, but he's twelve. He also happens to be a genius......oh no. Here she comes.....*
"Hi Annelise.....I'm Serena Killingsworth. How do you like La Brea High so far?" She asked cheerfully.
"Okay, I guess."
"That's good.......Look, I just wanted to warn you that not everyone in this school is exactly good to make friends with, no matter how popular they are." She added as she eyed Trevor coldly. Annelise noticed one of Serena's friends, Catty Turner, looking at her moon necklace. Annelise had noticed that the "witches," also had moon necklaces, and had decided to keep hers tucked in under her shirts. She would have taken it off, but she always felt so unprotected and odd without it.
"I'm sorry, but I don't see why I should be listening to someone I barely know, and who everyone else calls a witch." Annelise shot back with growing anger. Serena was beginning to look a little annoyed herself and so did her friends.
"I'm just trying to get you pointed in the right direction since you're new." She turned to leave, but then added, "Oh, and by the way, Trevor is someone you barely know, so why listen to him?"
Annelise watched as the girl walked down the halls with her friends and her locker was suddenly slammed shut. Trevor jumped as he stared at it with amazement and horror. The girl was also shocked, but then saw Vanessa poke Tianna with her elbow. Annelise thought she heard Trevor gently whisper, "Witches......"

Annelise walked into Planet Bang Friday. She brought her hands down the sides of her hips, smoothing her skirt. She had on a red spaghetti top with a black skirt that ended above her knees. It had some red strips at the bottom and she wore some high heeled shoes that she would be able to dance in. She had her hair up in a mess of natural curls and her moon necklace in plain view. She spotted Trevor with some of his friends and went over to them. The guy smiled and put his arm around her waist.
"So, do you like what you see so far?"
"Yeah. The club is more packed than I though it would be." She replied, slightly cringing with the guy's arm around her. Trevor laughed.
"Not the club sweetie. Me. How do you like me?" He asked her with a growing smile on his face.
"Oh, uh, well.....I guess you're alright."
"Yeah, sure. Alright." He said as Annelise thought she saw him wink at his friends. She could still hear their laughing as he led her over to a booth in a darker part of the club. She sat down on the inside and Trevor put his arm around her shoulders. She thought the guy was cute, with his light blue eyes and wavy, light brown hair, but he was a jerk. She could feel him leaning in closer to her until his lips were right on her neck. A pleasant chill ran through her as Trevor's lips caressed her neck and went up to her beat red cheeks. He kissed her softly on the lips, but then seemed to be getting rougher with it. He was pressing to hard and began trying to get his tongue in her mouth. His breathe smelled of beer and whatever he was eating before. Annelise didn't want her first kiss being this disgusting. She pushed him away and out of the booth. He was heavy, but she finally managed to knock him on his behind. She crawled out of the seat and turned to face Trevor, who was now sitting on the ground with a puzzled face.
"I have to go." Annelise left through the crowd of dancing bodies and stopped. She saw Vanessa up on stage singing with the band. The blonde smiled at Annelise, but she pretended to ignore her. She wanted to go home. She crossed her arms and just stood there, hopping she would appear in her bedroom. She went over to a table and sat by her lonely self, and watched all the happy couples. Her head began to spin and she felt dizzy. Her body was trembling and her face was hot with sweat. She could fell her hands shaking slightly as everything started to go black. The last thing she saw was Catty running towards her, followed by Tianna and Serena.
"Hey new girl. What's your name again, Annalise?" He said smoothly.
"It's actually Annelise, Annelise Latini." Trevor for a second, looked a bit annoyed, but then regained himself. "Uh....but.....who cares about names anyway?"
