Chapter 1: New Start

Claire POV

The sun was shining and reflecting off of all of the passing cars. The cars seemed kind of strange. Tinted windows, mainly the same style, make and colour (black). Every last one. I was on my way to TPU. Texas Prairie University.

It was an average type of school. I'm a year ahead of everyone because I'm really smart, and I mean REALLY smart. That's not even bragging. Everyone says im a nerd or geek, and that I look really weak and small. Many say im look like an angel. But I am quite strong. Both brain power and strength. I had to have it in my old school, they would tease me and physically hurt me. Once, I was so close to dying, but I didn't because I fought back. They ended up piled on each other That's how I ended up here. I know geeky and strong, not a usual mix, but that's what I am. Unusual. My parents said that they wanted me too far away from home, so I was transferred here. They don't know about the fight, so all is well.

Waving goodbye to my mum and dad was the worst part, because I was in a place I didn't know, all alone and out of place. I walked through the school gates just as the bell rang for the start of the day. I made my way to reception just in time. The woman was about to get up and most likely leave.

"Hello. I'm Claire Danvers, the transfer student," I politely announced.

"Ah! Yes, go take a seat over there while I print out your timetable," she smiled sweetly. Mumbling a thank you, I made my way over to the red leather chair. Whilst day dreaming, I heard a door open and close.

"So I have to help out a student to stay in school. That's ridiculous! There's no one here who needs help Miss," a grumpy, low voice exclaimed.

"Well, we have a transfer student from California. You can help her around school," a female voice explained. My heart started to pound in my rib cage. Was she talking about me? I hope not.

"Hey, heres your timetable and a map of the school incase you get lost," the receptionist said. I thanked her and began to walk away until someone put a hand on my shoulder. I was ready to fight, but it turned out to be a young teacher aroung her early 30's.

"This is the young lady. Hello, I'm the headteacher of this school. The name you call me is Miss Shatite. You must be our advanced student, Claire," Miss Shatite smiled. I nodded my head in a slight movement.

"Nice to meet you ma'am," I politely said.

"Name is Shane Collins. Heard about me before?" a male voice said. I couldn't see properly, so I looked around the teacher at a tall, built, brown-haired guy

"Hi. I'm Claire Danvers, and nope. Never heard of you before," I answered. He smiled and took the timetable off of me. What a gorgeous smile… Shut up Claire! Ergh. Fancy me thinking that. The teacher took off and we started walking down a corridor.

"I have to look after you and get you settled."

"I don't need help thank you very much," I proudly said. He laughed. I stopped and looked up at him.

"What? Ok, the way you looked when you said it, was really funny," he smiled. I started to walk on until I was pushed into a wall. Ow…Blackness consumed my vision and all I heard was Shane call my name before I did…
