Chapter 1

I wake up every morning to 'i knew you were trouble' by taylor swift. I wake up shut off my alarm and just sit there for about twenty minutes. Time for another boring day at boring school i think to myself. Finally i get out of bed and hop in the shower. When I'm finished i put on my makeup get dressed (in my school uniform) and head downstairs. Im usually the first one up every morning so i let my dog Sallie outside and i eat some breakfast. I live with my dad, my brother, and my sister. We live in a little town in northern ontario. Right now its late November and we already have way too much snow. Some people complain about how its -12 degrees Celsius but our usual temperature every morning is around -25 dc. You kind of get used to the weather being this cold. Unfortunately its so cold that you cant wear those stylish thin coats and little hats to walk around, you have to dress in those really poofy huge jackets. Anyways enough about the weather.

Once i get to school I'm greeted by my three best friends, Charlie, Nora, and Christina. I've been friends with them since elementary school and I've never actually had any other friends. We are kind of that group of people who you walk by and think, "do you know them?" We keep to ourselves really, all of us are pretty shy. I get to my locker and grab my books when Christina says,

" did you hear, Al, theres a new student in our english class coming today!"

I almost forgot, hello, my name is Alice Engrit and I'm in my last year of high school.

"A new student? Did they switch schools or are they coming from a different town?" I said.

"Im not sure" says Christina.

We walk into first period science with my teacher Mr. Fin at his desk reading the newspaper.

"Good morning class i hope you all had a fun weekend" he said.

I sat down next to Charlie and took out my binder. Mr. Fin was a very tall man and when i stood next to him it was really embarrassing because I'm only five feet. Ive always hated being short, everyone shoves you aside because of it. I always wished i was an average height, maybe 5,4 just so i would stop being called short.

After science I made my way to english thinking about who the new student might be. I wonder if they are a guy or a girl, i also wondered what colour eyes they have. Im not sure why but I'm always fascinated by eye colour. I just think its so cool to have mixed colours. Take Nora for example, her eyes are like leaves changing in autumn the are orange/yellow around the rim and then they start to become a gorgeous green in the center. Then you look at my boring brown eyes that match my dull brown hair. I walk into english class and as usual I'm the last one in because i have to walk from one side of the school to the other.

"Ah Alice is here now everyone move to the front of the class, its time for a new seating arrangement," my english teacher Miss Rowan said.

She started calling peoples names to sit in there new seats when i looked over at Christina, she looked mad. We only knew each other in the class and we hated sitting next to other people.

"Alice id like you to sit in the middle of Jeff and Damen." Explained Miss Rowan.

Oh boy i thought sarcastically to myself, this is going to be fun. I sat down between Jeff who ive known since elementary but weve never actually had a full conversation. Jeff was pretty short and skinny with blonde hair that was starting to grow into a mullet. Gross i thought to myself. Then i turned to the right of me and im pretty sure my jaw dropped to the floor. This must have been the new kid. He was by far the most gorgeous guy I've ever laid my eyes on. He had jet black messy hair that curled at the ends, his body was muscular and perfect, and his eyes were dark brown, so much that they could be black. I quickly focused back to my independent study work before he noticed me staring.

I looked around the class and noticed that just about every other girl was staring at damen. Well great i thought he's going to turn into a popular guy who only dates stupid girls. I sighed and continued on with my work. Once my teacher left the classroom for a moment Sarah walked up to our desk. Sarah was one of those girls who had lots of friends and everyone loved her. She had flawless black hair that shined and sparkled probably. She also was tall and had super nice legs and she was super skinny too. She put her hands on the table and said,

"hey I'm sarah, you're the new kid right? So I'm kind of a big deal around here and i could totally give you a tour of the school at lunch."

Damen looked up from his work and said, "thanks but no thanks."

Sarah face turned bright red and she stomped back to her seat. I started to giggle a bit when damen turned and looked at me.

"Hi', he said, " I'm damen"

wow he was so hot, i was staring into his eyes when i forgot to respond.

"H-h-i-i" i stuttered and quickly cleared my throat and said quietly, "Im Alice."

He just sat there and laughed, oh great i thought, now he thinks im a stupid stuttering loser.

"Hey Alice do u know what time lunch is?" He said.

His voice was so soft and perfect, i didnt dare looked up into his eyes again or i might melt

so i continued writing and said, "11:30."

At lunch i sat at one of the circular tables along with Nora and Christina. "Wheres Charlie?" I said to Nora.

"Her mom came to get her, she said it was some kind of emergency, Charlie said she would text me later so lets hope for the best."

We sat there and ate our lunch quietly and talked about the usual stuff, homework, family, and other random stuff. I really hope nothing really serious happened to Charlies family. She already lost her father last year to some very sick accident.

Once we finished lunch i went off to my locker by myself, it sucks because Nora, Christina and Charlie are all in the same third period math class while im stuck in third period art. I was walking to art early as usual becuase i always like to talk to my art teacher before class because she was so awesome. I walked in twenty minutes early when i saw my art teacher talking to another student. That student had gorgeous jet black hair and dark brown eyes, Damen. I stood at the door and waited for them to finish. I couldnt help but stare and his body. I bet he had a six pack, or maybe even and eight pack. If i kept staring i probably would have started drooling. I usually dont think about guys like this, I've had a couple crushes but those were when i was a kid. This was different.

"Oh Alice come on in you dont have to wait out in the hallway, i was just talking to our new student Damen about what we have been doing so far in art."Said my art teacher.

I walked in and put my bag down at my desk and pulled out my sketch pad.

I continued a drawing of a girl wearing a dress while things were all destroyed around her and other things were flying over her head. I started drawing it after i finished reading the book 'Carrie' by Stephen King. I really liked the book so i decided to draw it. I spent most of my free time drawing and reading books and mostly staying at home because i hated going out. I was almost done shading when a big shadow casted over my work. I turned around to see Damen staring at it and judging it. I felt really insecure when people judged things i did. Hes just kept staring and then sat down beside me.

"Thats really cool" he said' "is she supossed to be some sort telekinesis person?"

I quickly started shading again and just nodded. He pulled out his own sketch book and opened up an old drawing and started adding more details. It was a drawing of a wolf running in the forest. I turned back to my drawing an continued shading until i was all finished.

Then i flipped the page and started a brand new sketch. I did a rough sketch of a girl surrounded by ghosts and zombies crawling out of the ground. Once i was done the bell for third period went off and everyone started pouring into the classroom. For some reason Damen stayed right beside me and kept drawing. Why didnt he go sit with the other guys? Why me? My art teacher told everyone to keep working on there rough sketches but i was already done so i continued with my necromancer drawing. A necromancer is someone who can talk to the dead and raise them. I took out my pencil crayons and started to colour in the sky and then the rest of the sketch. Once i started adding more detail Damen started up a conversation,

"You draw a lot of super natural stuff dont you, do u believe they exist?."

I turned to look at him and said, "all i really draw is super natural stuff but i dont really believe in it existing." I lied.

Of course i believed in them because my friends and i are supernaturals.
