Chapter 1
"So, what are we doing this weekend?" Hilary asked Laura and me as we walked down the school halls.
"Hmm, I dunno," I said, fiddling with a strand of my long dark hair, which was staying in it's ponytail for once. "Maybe the mall?"
"Nah," said Laura, tossing her light brown hair. "We did that last weekend. Could we go into Anchorage this Saturday? I need a dress for the Sadie Hawkins."
"Lucky," Hilary muttered under her breath. "Wish I had a boyfriend. Charlie is the only cute guy at our...." she trailed off, her mouth hanging open, staring at the double doors to outside.
"What is it?" I asked, following her gaze.
My eyes popped.
Laura's mouth dropped.
In the double doors, there were eight kids standing, the wind blowing snow into the hallway, tossing hair into their faces. Their eight perfect faces. Wait, no, only seven were perfect. One was not as perfect, but still…wow.
They were all as pale as the snow flitting around their heads, and all very graceful, even the one who stood out. His skin wasn't pale. It was a deep rich brown, the color of the earth in spring.
They all walked in couples. The most stunning guy, with the wild, messy, bronze hair, (how did it get that color? Was it dyed?) had his arm around the brunette girl, who was the most graceful of them all. She had one arm around his waist, and the other arm around the shoulder of the girl with long bronze ringlets, rosy cheeks, and striking brown eyes. She in turn was holding hands with the guy who stood out- although in truth he was the most normal, the one who looked the most like us. He had brown eyes as well and shaggy brown hair.
Beside him was the shortest of the new kids, she couldn't have been more than five feet tall. She had black hair in a pixie cut, and her arm was around the tallest guy- the blond one. He seemed both nervous and relaxed at the same time. He was walking by the beautiful blond girl- so beautiful it was indescribable. I could already see in my peripheral vision the guys were checking her out- until they saw who she was with.
The beautiful blond girl was holding hands with a big guy. If big meant bulging with muscles. He also had curly brown hair. Once guys saw him, they stopped fantasizing about the blond girl, and began to worry about her big boyfriend.
It took me only a few seconds to take this all in. Hilary and Laura's jaws were still gaping open. My eyes felt like they were going to fall out of my head. As I struggled to compose myself, I heard one of them-the gorgeous bronze haired boy-speak, and my knees went weak.
"Do you know the way to the office?" he asked Laura, just as her boyfriend Charlie walked up.
"Yeah," he replied for her. "Take a left at the next hall, second door on the right."
The boy's voice was magic. It was hands down the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard.
Just then he chuckled, and I forgot all about his voice. His laugh… it was the most perfect sound in the world, like a choir and symphony all together in perfect harmony. He whispered in the ear of the brunette girl, and I envied her. She laughed with him, in a voice as beautiful as wind chimes, as the eight of them disappeared around the corner.
Hilary regained her voice.
"Who are they?" she asked breathlessly.
Laura had snapped out of it, and Charlie had wound his arm around her waist.
"No idea," she said, trying to be calm and act like nothing had happened, but I could tell she was still marveling.
Hilary turned on me.
"Jean? Any ideas?"
I shook my head, and leaned against a row of lockers. My knees were so weak, it felt like the weight of my backpack was about to topple me to the ground. Hilary was muttering to herself.
"They must be new. But how can there be so many of them? They all look around the same age… That blond guy, oh my god! But that short girl was with him. But perhaps I could…"
As I continued to regain composure, the bell rang, and we all sprinted to class.
