Chapter 1
God, I hate new schools Jessica thought as she entered Spencer Academy the night before school started. Glancing up and down the dorm halls, she moved quickly to find her dorm. Frankly, she found her surroundings more than creepy and she wanted to get out of the hallway as soon as possible. Sighing as she realized her dorm room was at the end of the hall, she wondered what the chances were she could run with all of her bags.
Entering the room she saw her roommates already asleep, and tried to stay quiet as she stashed her suitcases and fell into bed. Hopefully the girls sleeping next to her were normal, and wouldn't stab her in her sleep.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where are you Jessica? Come out come out wherever you are! I know you're here, and I will find you, and I will hunt you down just like I hunted down your mother. Running here won't do any good. Don't you know? There are people here just like me."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jess sat up with a start and noticed a girl with long brown hair staring at her. Crap. I wonder how much of my nightmare she saw.
"Woah, chill out girl. You must be Jessica. I'm Kate and that's Sarah." Kate smiled brightly and started rambling about Spencer. Jess, happy to find her roommates were normal, pasted on a smile and tried to forget the sound of the voice in her dream.
"Ok so stay away from Aaron Abbott, he's a prick. Oh and don't worry about curfew since none of the moderators ever check. Come on, let's go to breakfast and take a look at your schedule."
Heading down to the meeting hall, a boy caught up with them.
"Good I caught you guys. Everyone else already ate. I'm Tyler by the way." Tyler was nicely built with brown hair and kind eyes. Jess knew she liked him right away.
"I'm Jess, nice to meet you too."
At breakfast Jessica started to relax. Obviously Kate, Sarah, and Tyler were nothing like the voice in her dream. She hoped she would never run into someone with that kind of power again. Once had been bad enough. Her mind immediately flashed to her mother lying in the hospital back home still in a coma, and she started to panic again.
Noticing Jess' sudden distress, and mistaking it for first day nerves, Tyler tried to smile encouragingly at her. He wished Kate would shut up and let the girl eat already.
Walking with Kate to her first class, Jess realized Spencer Academy was way nicer than her last school. She just hoped what she came to do would work. She couldn't afford to be careless. Her mother's life was at stake.
Her mind still on life back home, Jess dazedly walked to an open seat at the table near Kate in Chemistry. Flipping open her schedule and map, she quickly tried to memorize it so she wouldn't get lost. Kate's introduction at breakfast hadn't covered all of the buildings, and Jess was getting slightly worried.
Oblivious to the movements around her, Jess didn't notice the attention she was getting from a toe head blonde that had just walked in. He however had noticed that there were only two seats left, and he moved quickly to take the one near the mystery girl. Five feet away from the seat, Aaron side-stepped him and beat him to it. Clenching his fists was all he could do to keep himself from beating Aaron's ass.
"Hey you must be new, I'm Aaron Abbott." Jess glanced up and saw Aaron's cocky grin as he moved to sit at her station. In the corner of her eye she caught sight of the other boy and quickly said, "Sorry it's already taken."
"By who?!"
"Me." The boy grinned and sat down quickly just as the teacher walked in. Not wanting to start shit first thing in the morning, Aaron moved to the other side of the room.
"Nice save"
"Don't mention it. I wouldn't want you to be assaulted by his stench for an hour. I'm Reid Garwin by the way, and am in no way affiliated with the asshole that is Aaron Abbott."
"Thank God. Nice to meet you, I'm Jess."
The teacher called everyone to attention and then began droning on about the syllabus and class rules. Having taken Chemistry at her old school, Jess Rolled her eyes, and pulled out a notebook to doodle in. Peeking up at Reid, she smiled noticing that he had fallen asleep.
With his eyes closed, Jess got to take a look at him without him noticing. Although at first all she had noticed was the blond hair and gorgeous blue eyes, she now scanned the rest of him. Looking over him, she imagined how perfect his body was beneath the horrible polyester uniform. Her hand, still holding a pencil, began to outline his shape unconsciously. The bell brought her out of her trance and she glanced down at her paper. Shit! What am I doing?! She slammed the notebook shut before anyone saw, and rushed out of the room, not even bothering to meet Kate.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So how was your first day?" Sara asked as she plopped on her bed in their room.
"Not too bad, I only got lost a couple of times"
"I heard about your run in with Abbott. Tough luck. I hate having classes with him. Anyways, there's going to be tons of people at Nicky's tonight that I want to introduce you to, so get ready."
Jess groaned as she got off the bed and got ready to take a shower. Hopefully Reid would be there. Who was she kidding? He had barely said two words to her after he sat down. He probably didn't even remember her.
Leaving the dorm room, Jess started to walk towards the showers, and an eerie feeling left the hairs on the back of her neck standing up. Stiffening, she quickly moved to the showers, berating herself the whole way for being such a scaredy cat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The three girls walked into Nicky's together, Kate immediately checking for Pogue, and Sarah scanning the room for Caleb. On the way to Nicky's, Kate and Sarah had gone on and on about their boyfriends, and Jess felt a little awkward walking in as the third wheel.
Two boys walked over, one of them very tall with dark, short hair, and the other nearly just as tall but with light brown medium length hair. Jess sighed. Both of them were gorgeous of course. Needless to say Jess was definitely not seeing anyone, and she envied her two roommates.
"Oh Jessica, this is Caleb and that is Pogue," Sarah said, first pointing to the dark haired one, and then to the lighter haired one.
"Nice to meet you" Caleb said as he glanced over to Pogue. Unlike Pogue, Caleb's ascension had heightened his ability to sense power, and he definitely saw something in Jessica. Pogue, noticing nothing, smiled at Jess and motioned for everyone to follow them to their table.
Ten minutes later, as Jess crossed the bar, she noticed Reid and an Tyler playing pool. Already spotting Aaron, she knew it was only a matter of time before he started hitting on her again. Why is it only the creepy guys notice me? First Chase Collins and now Aaron, could it get any worse?
Sure enough, as she neared Reid, she felt hands grab around her waist.
"Wanna dance baby?"
Not even bothering to check herself, Jess elbowed Aaron in the gut, forcing him to let her go as he gasped for air.
"You'll regret that. I'm the best damn thing at Spencer, and you'll be begging me to fuck you later."
"One more word Aaron and you won't have anything to fuck with," Reid said with a bored look on his face. "Obviously she can smell shit from a mile away and wants nothing to do with you."
Aaron, recovering from the blow to his gut, started to move forward but tripped a foot away from Reid. Reid, gearing up for a fight let out stood there shocked at the turn of events.
Laughing, Jess walked over to Reid, took the pool stick out of his hand, leaned over the pool table, and made the perfect combination shot.
"Thanks," she said, and with that she handed him back the pool stick, and walked out of Nicky's back to the dorms. She was tired anyways, and worried that any more of Aaron's comments would cause her to do something everyone would regret.
