CHAPTER
ONE; The Start
"But
why can't I go?" I used my whiney voice. My mum wont let me go to
Fiji with her and dad because I'm 'Princess Alexia Wallace' of
Anighast, the city of supernatural powers. My ability's are to
manipulate the weather, absorb other people's powers & read
peoples current thoughts. Mum thinks I'll use my powers for bad
when we're in Fiji. I'm also a cheerleader though.
"Just
cause okay love! Now go up stairs pack your stuff for High School"
Mum tells
"Hello
how may I help you?" the lady at reception says. According to her
nametag she's called Louise.
Wow
that girl is really pretty with her long blonde hair im so jealous oh
wait that's the princess Louise
said in her mind. She shuddered
"Umm
I'm a new student here" I speak in my nicest voice
"Yes
the princess, I was aware you were coming "
EEEEK
im talking to the princess
I
let out a little giggle and proceeded "oh are my bags in my room?"
Speak
come on Louise just say the room number
Louise thinks to herself "Yes, room 203"
Once
I have given the bagman my stuff to take up. Apparently I'm in room
203 with a girl named Laura Wallows. Whilst I'm walking up the big
ivory steps I tripped on the last step. My light green laptop bag
goes flying and then out of nowhere a shadow leaps into the air and
back down again with my laptop case in
his
muscly arms, obviously a vampire.
She
really pretty but I cant seem to hear what's going on in her
beautiful brain
the most handsome guy I have ever seen thinks to himself "Hi I'm
Oliver and you are?"
"…Oh
hi I'm Alexia," I say sweetly "but you can call me Alex"
"Are
you new here?" Oliver asks
"Yeh,
I don't really know where I seem to be going" i said, now
confused
WOW!
She looks just like the princess "
I'll help you out what room are you in?"
"It's
says 203" wohoooo I cheer in my mind the cutest guy ever is helping
me
"Oh
lucky that's my sisters room" This is so lucky for me "I'll
take you there"
"'Kay"
I say, basic and simple.
I
wonder what her power is, besides obvious beauty that is.
A small laugh slipped out of my mouth then "well I can manipulate
the weather, absorb people's powers and read peoples current
thoughts" it accidentally slipped, I answered his thoughts his
private thoughts that don't belong to me. That's it I decided to
try and block that for now.
"Oh
you read my thoughts. That's really cool, i can fly, then what are
you? Im sorry I just mean like you not a vamp or anything that I seem
to know of" he says surprisingly. He can fly this just gets better.
"Well
not really I'm just a cheerleader. And the princess of Anighast,
you can fly? You must show me some time"
"Nah
it's cool. I will show you one day. It's an awesome talent; I'm
a vampire like most of my friends by the way. Really the princess?"
Oliver asked in surprise
"Well
were here," he says. I hadn't even realised that we were walking
back to my new room, I was that distracted by this boy, so handsome
with his golden blonde hair and greeny-blue-to-die-for eyes.
"Laura
you here?" Oliver yells, knocking on the door, snapping me out of
my day dream
"Yeah
I'm waiting for my new room mate" a sweet voice cries back
Behind
the corner a girl, skinny, average height with golden brown hair pops
out.
"Heres
your new room mate, oh and once she settles in get Jem, ill get Jason
and Charlie then we can all meet at Morison's bar and grill Kay?"
"Ok
bye now" Once Oliver turned and walked about 2 metres he pulled out
a blue phone and continued to walk
"Sorry
bout that I'm Laura and you are?" Laura says
"That's
ok and it's Alexia"
"Yeh
I was told about you. Your like the princess aren't you?"
"Yep.
So what are you?" What a lame question to ask, I think to myself
"Haha.
I'm a Vampire like my brother." She explains
"Oh
yeah, he told me I was in a room with his sister" I say stupidly
"Yep
he's my brother, this is going to sound weird but I think he has
eyes for you" that did sound weird but it also sounded sweet
"Oh
please?" I say but I seriously hope so
"Well
we better start un-packing"
Once
Laura found Jem, we had been introduced and I had gotten into some
dissent clothing, which was a short yellow flowing silk dress that
draped over my tanned skin with long silver beaded necklace and
silver
I
Love Billy, shoes
we were ready to go.
Jem
was short for Jemma just so you know. She was also quite small, pale
with a lovely dark brown hair.
"Finally
lets go" Laura says
"Is
Morison's on campus?" I asked
"Yeah
sure is, there's a really big mall on campus with the latest shops"
Jem
"Cool
so lets go. Cause we're so late can we please teleport" Laura
asks almost begging Jem. Laura was now on her hands and knees. This
was funny. So I started to laugh. Teleporting please i don't think
that's even a power.
"Fine"
guess those puppy eyes worked.
"Oh
umm is that you power, teleporting i mean?" I asked, now im the one
begging
"Yeh
it is, what's yours?" Jem asked at the same time
"Well
my power is to manipulate the weather and read minds," I explained
"Oh
cool, hold tight onto my hand Kay?"
As
we stood in a circle cross triangle we held hands. As I thought of
Morison's we were spinning around in rainbow colours for about 5
seconds then bam we were here.
" Laura,
Alex, Jem over here" Oliver calling our names
As
we walked over I stumbled. Some things never change. Laura giggled
then I elbowed her. We were both giggling now. But Jem had already
ran over and kissed who I think was Charlie. They were now holding
hands.
"Alex
this is Jason" Oliver was smiling at me politely so i smiled
sweetly back at him. As Laura said it whilst hugging his left side
"Hi
but just call me Alex," I stated smiling Jason was tall and had
short black hair with brown eyes.
"Then
you must be Charlie?" I said looking at a boy with brown hair
"Yep
that's me, Hi" he said with a friendly smile
Charlie
was also tall but Jason was taller. Charlie was a tanned surfy boy
with lovely brown hair and the most incredible blue eyes.
After
dinner everyone had left but Oli and me. Yeh that's right I can
call him Oli now. They all seem so nice and Laura is so very
friendly. Oli and I are sitting at a wooden table on green grass
covered in dew; we sat by a water fountain with small purple-red
fish.
"What
are your classes?" Oli asks
" I'm
not sure and I don't even were to go"
"Well
how about we meet up for coffee at
Lori's
café
tomorrow I'll show you around so you can be ready for class on
Monday?" EEEK this is so good it's almost a date. I mean we are
getting coffee together
"Sure
sounds great"
Oh
my god. Its 12:30 I should probably be getting back to the room.
"Look
at the time we should probably be going" that sounded so ridiculous
"Yeh.
Ummmh I'll walk you back to your room"
"Thanks
so much"
Once
we are back at my room and outside the door. I start to open the
door. It's so sad that this night is over. Oh well were getting
coffee tomorrow.
"9:30"
he says bluntly
"For
coffee tomorrow?" am I really that dumb? Yes I say in my mind yes I
am.
"Yep"
"I'll
see you then, night" then I walk inside to see Laura and Jem
sitting on my bed with hot chocolate in their hands. This can't be
good.
"Look
whose here" Laura says with a very big grin on her face
"Tell
us everything, oh and here you go" Jem says handing me a big green
mug full of hot chocolate with to white marshmallows on the side. The
must know I don't like the pinks ones.
"What's
to know?" There's nothing really to know
"I
dunno like maybe what going with you and Oli?" Jem says whilst I
quickly sculled my hot chocolate
"All
we did was talk. That's all. And be off my bed by the time I get
out of the shower" I say cranky. The both raised their eyebrows
then let it go
"Wait
a minute. Have you got your uniform for school yet? What house colour
are you in?" Laura quickly says
I
fastly scavenge around my bed and look at the piece of paper
"Yes
I'm green" greens my favourite colour I'm so stoked.
After
a long nights rest and beating Alice to the shower. I chuck on a
light green flowing dress with black-laced heels and do my hair &
make up I check my silver banded watch it's 25 past 9. I get down
to the coffee shop and see Oli standing there in a blue shirt with
shorts on.
"Hey
there I want to talk to you about something" he says
"Oh
really what?" im not sure what to expect
"Ummh
you know about last night? Well I thought that it was so cool hanging
out with you that I was ummh wondering if you wanted to go to dinner
just us tomorrow night?" is that a date yay.
"Yes,
sure that would be lovely" I say sweetly
"So
you going to show me round?" I ask
"But
of course me lady" I says sarcastically
"Why
thank-you kind sir"
3
hours later after being everywhere I'm being piggy backed to the
candy store in the mall.
"Oli
put me down ppplllleeeeaaaasssseeee" I squirm whilst saying it
"Not
until you ask nicely" "but" No buts"
"Pretty
please with sugar on top let me go" he puts me on the ground when
this girl with straight brown hair down to her shoulders walks up and
opens her mouth about to talk, she looks mad-ish.
"Oli
what ya doing?" She asked him. Then the words she's said finally
hit my brain, she knows him?
"Just
chilling with Alex you?"
"Waiting
for Jace and I'm Beth by the way" she replied
"Oh
hi" I say giving her a smile. Wait Jace oh no this cant be good,
that's a one of a kind name, it's short for Jackson. I gave him
that nickname; we were dating back in tenth grade at that point it
was two whole years. When I knew he was keeping a secret from
me. I promised him that I'd never read his thoughts but this secret
was killing me so I did when I found out that not only did he use
cause I'm the princess, he liked my BFFL Tiff (not friends anymore)
but wait there's more he didn't have the guts to tell me that he
had a power, a power to turn invisible.
"Alexxxxx"
Oli was calling my name
"Oh
sorry I was just thinking" I say. Then walking from behind me I
could hear these thoughts whoa
I wonder who Beth's talking to.
"Hey
baby" Jace says
"Who's
are thes-" he stoped mid-sentence and looked at me
confusedly
"Alex?"
he asks
"Hi
Jace" I say with I blank face
"You
guys know each other?" Oli and Beth say in synchronization
"Yeh
it's a long story, lets go now Oli" I say fast
"Okay
then bye no-" I didn't give him time to say the last word I
yanked his arm and pulled him away from them
On
the way back to my room with Oli I explained to him about what
happened with Jace. And how we dated he fully understood now.
"You
know he goes to the school but?" Oli asked
"What
are you joking me?" this day could not get better I thought with
sarcasm
"Yep
well he's dating Beth and she hangs out with some of Laura's
friends, but I don't hang with them much, im usually at baseball
training" Whoa he a sportsman, that explains the upper arm
muscles.
Then
we stop I'm at my room door I look up, I've never really noticed
how blue his eyes are, there so deep and mysterious. He takes a small
step closer, I can now hear him breathing, and the sweetest scent he
smells like cookie dough. I lean in closer and so does he I go up on
my tippee toes and then bam we are surrounded by fireworks in my
mind, he mouth reached mine and that was that, this could possibly be
one of the greatest days in my life. As I finally gasp for air, we
look up and see Laura and Jem standing there with big grins on their
faces. I turn to see Oli, I'm with him there on that small spot of
grass he puts his arm around me and then I take his hand and hold it
tightly, like I never want to let go.
"Well
what do we have here, Jem?" Laura is having a blast out of this
"I
don't know, perhaps two lovebirds" I don't think I will hear
the end of this.
"Yeh
well screw you two, come down to the fountain at midnight, before
your first day tomorrow okay?" Oli asks looking at me
"Sure
thing" I say I'm absolutely over the moon now. Oli has turned a
bad afternoon into the best. I don't want to leave his arms but I
must. I will still see him later tonight.
"See
you soon, I can't wait" Oli says. I take a deep breath and let
go
"Yeh
tonight" As I turn and walk into my room Laura and Jem are there
sitting on my hello kitty sheets and doona. I turn look at Oli
standing there in my door way, give him a big smile and nod that it's
okay for him to leave he blows me a kiss.
I
shut the door and look at my 2 new best friends and that have
extremely evil smiles on their faces.
"Well,
Well, Well, lookey here" they say
"Hey
guys hows life?" I say changing the subject and I hope this
works.
"Not
so fast missy, Oli asked you out for midnight we only have so long to
make you super hot" Laura says nodding her head to Jem
"Aw
no guys please don't," I pleaded with them but they just wouldn't
quit at it.
Curly
strait-ish locks, eyeliner and mascara applied and a change of
clothes (into a Gucci black dress) later I'm ready to go. Our dorm
adviser has gone past and called lights out an hour ago. I snuck out
and had managed to find my way to the fountain without being
caught.
On
a picnic rug sat Oli he was waving his hand at me to come and sit
with him I walked towards him and smiled, not that he would've been
able to see it.
"Oli
this … its so nice" I struggled for words
"I
know I've only known for a couple of day but everything, it, just
feels right" Oli had a problem finding words too but I understood
what he was saying it does feel right.
"I
know what you mean" agreeing with him I think I knew what comes
next and I'm so happy I was smiling
"I
adore that smile of yours" I was speechless
"Anyways,
Alex, will you go out with me?" yes, yes, yes but of course but
then I can hear the advice Laura gave me keep
your cool
"Yes
of course I will" it sounded like he just proposed and I'm
jumping up and down screaming yes. He got up stretched his arm down I
grabbed his hand pulled myself up with it he put his muscular arms
around my waist I put my hands on his face and we kissed like there
was no tomorrow, his cool lips on mine this was heaven. It felt like
there was nothing stopping us.
