Forever Wanted by JazzAlexa34
Chapter 1
My name is Eleanor Boudicca, Ella for short. There's only one thing you should know about me. I'm a vampire. I was born in Britain in 1908 in the month of April. I have been 17 for 86 years.
Well enough about me, for now anyway. Today is my first day of Year 12 at my new school Chatswood High.
Out of all the boxes in my apartment (there's alot) I have managed to find a backpack and a few pens. I even found a small container I decided to call a lunchbox, which I packed an apple and a salad sandwich into.
I walked into my newly furnished bathroom and found myself staring at my reflection in the mirror. I stepped into the shower and let the hot water run over my body. I did my usual shower routine using my lily and crisp apple scented shampoo, the scent I've been using for the last 20 years. I stepped out of the shower feeling rather content and grabbed the green towel off the rack. When I was dressed, I looked back at my reflection and wondered if my jeans and hoodie were appropriate for my first day of school. Not that I care right? I tend to wear baggy clothes to hide the perfect and flawless vampire body that is underneath. I walked down the stairs, put on my black converse sneakers, grabbed my backpack and walked out the door, locking it behind me.
As I walked up to the intimidating black double doors that led to the front office, I noticed a girl staring at me intently. Our gazes met for a split second, but I turned around, opened the doors and headed for the front counter. The receptionist noticed me and waved me forward.
The lady I walked up to had dark red hair that fell around her face in curls and wore way too much make up. We chatted for a few minutes about where I had come from and she handed me some forms that I filled out quickly. I handed the papers back and in return she handed me my class timetable for the semester. I politely excused myself and made my way down the hall and out the exit to explore the school.
I eventually found a small wooden bench that I sat down on to inspect my timetable. I noticed with surprise that I had seven forty minute periods plus 20 minutes for recess and an hour for lunch. My timetable looked like this:
1st period: English Room: A26
2nd period: Sculpture 1 Room: D7
Recess
3rd period: Physics 2 Room: Lab 3
4th period: Physical education Room: GYM
5th period: French 1 Room: B21
Lunch
6th period: Advanced maths Room: A12
7th period: Chemistry Room: Lab 4
All I could do was sigh with exasperation.
The bell for first period rang with a chime that was sensitive to my ears. So, I looked at my timetable to see which room first period was in, it was A26. I looked around and found a sign that read B block. I suspected knowing the alphabet that A block was nearby. So, followed my instincts and was glad to find an A printed on a building about 10 metres away. I slowly made my way into the building and soon located room 26. I walked slowly through the door and was welcomed with 20 pairs of eyes looking at me from all directions.
I stood frozen inside the door, thinking that if I were human and my heart was still beating it would be going a hundred miles an hour. I looked towards the teacher's desk and noticed he was trying to get my attention. I slowly walked towards him.
"Good morning, you must be the new student Ella. I'm Mr Harper, your new English teacher" exclaimed the man at the desk.
"Take a seat and we'll get started"
English passed in a bore as I already knew everything he was talking about. Sculpture wasn't any better, the teacher Ms O'Sullivan raved on about sandstone, which as you can probably tell wasn't very exciting. As the bell went the rest of the class hurried out the door, most likely to find the best spot to eat or to meet their friends for a gossip session.
At recess, I found a shady spot underneath a tree outside and ate my apple. As I looked around I noticed the girl from earlier this morning was sitting nearby with a group of friends. Up close, I noticed she had long, straight honey blonde coloured hair and a skinny physique. Her group consisted of many stereotypical jock looking males and alot of pretty blonde supermodel skinny girls. Most of the boys in her group wore dress pants or golf shorts and pale-coloured polo shirts. Except one, he sat on the edge of the picnic table with his head back soaking up all vitamin D the sun could give out. He was wearing simple yet very attractive clothing and looked like he enjoyed the outdoors. Well, of course he did, he was tan and very toned. Snap out of it Ella! I thought. It really didn't surprise me that I was thinking about boys during the first few hours of school. I giggled to myself before the bell startled me and I stood up ready for what my next classes would bring.
I walked to physics wondering who would be in my class and if I would have an interesting or at least good looking teacher. I walked into class and saw only 7 pairs of eyes looking at me this time. I realised then that this was a class that not many people would choose due to its demanding course requirements and the difficulty to understand topics and concepts. I walked in and up to the teacher's desk where I showed the teacher my timetable and introduced myself. The teacher, who I later found out was named Mr Murdock, introduced me to the class. I then took a seat up the back next to an Asian with short, black hair and glasses.
"Hi, my name is Ella," I said politely to the boy.
"Hello, my name is Eric," he replied equally as polite.
As soon as he said that the teacher called us to attention, distracting me from the boy next to me.
The lesson passed quickly as did P.E and French. As I am a vampire physical activity comes easy to me so gym was a piece of cake. French was also easy because I have previously lived in France so I am fluent in the language. Not that the teacher is allowed to know. Finally the bell rang for lunch so I packed up my stuff and headed out to the same tree as I did at recess. I pulled out my healthy salad sandwich ad began to observe my surroundings. Again I noticed the group from earlier and the toned, good looking guy that I proceeded to check out once again. I guess I was staring too hard or something because suddenly the guy turned to look at me, we held eye contact for the next two minutes or so until I finally snapped out of it and looked away, my eyes landing on the guy Eric from my physics class. He turned to look at me and gave a small wave, which I returned, before returning back to his friends.
Lunch soon finished so I headed off to find my next two classes of the day. I'll be glad when the day is finally over. I looked at my timetable once again, tired of pulling it out every half an hour. Advanced maths passed quickly as I knew everything once again. I walked slowly to chemistry, bored even thinking about it. I walked in and saw the attractive guy standing at the desk talking to the teacher about chemical reactions involving hydrochloric acid. He turned around to face me as I walked in and when I least expected it, started strolling towards me. Then I realised that a guy I recognised from French stood behind me. A girl can dream can't she? Oh well, it'll happen. I'll introduce myself eventually. I sat down and couldn't stop myself at taking sideways glances at this mysterious guy. Who honestly made me melt. The rest of the class went slowly. It was obviously a theory lesson. I preferred practical but I enjoyed not having to involve myself in social interaction with the other students.
The bell went and I walked out of the school feeling relieved that my first day was over. I unlocked my door to my small, two bedroom apartment and threw my backpack down the ground. I made a quick salad, knowing that I would need blood in the next day or two. I locked my doors and windows and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. I dreamt about the mysterious guy all night.
