"Throughout time, there have been many fascinations with the subject of magic and the idea of people doing extraordinary things with a force of their own. Some believe in this, others believe it's just a whole load of nonsense. Which do you believe is true? I want all of you to write a five minute speech on your view and you must have evidence to back up your opinion. I want you to have this done by tomorrow, go ahead and start on your speech," Mr. Hoffman had stepped off the riser and sat at his desk.
Groans were heard throughout the history room but then were replaced by the quiet murmur of whispers and scratching of pens. Today's lecture was a lot more interesting that usual, but held an awkward and uncomfortable twinge for two well known boys. Through the whole lesson, they had swapped a few knowing glances, they were anxious as if they were going to be exposed for what they truly were. The lecture had touched on a few personal subjects to the group, but never went too far.
"Could that lecture be anymore awkward?" Caleb muttered to his long haired friend.
"It was cutting a little close, any more and the whole dress would fall off," Pouge joked.
A knock at the door had gathered the attention of every being in the room. The writing had stopped, talking had ceased, and every eye was riveted to the direction of the door. It wasn't a normal occurrence for someone to be at the door so early in the class.
"Come in," Mr. Hoffman called out.
"Mr. Hoffman, I would like to introduce you to three new transfer students from Croix Morte Academy in France, Ms. Adena Le Feu, Demetra La Terre, and Tallulah L'Eau," Provost Higgins introduced and three young girls walked in.
The trio caught the attention of every single person in the room. Each girl had a different aura around them and looked like complete opposites.
Adena stood there with dark hair and a blood red under dye. She was tan, dark brown eyes with flecks of what looked like red. She was very curvaceous. Her skirt had been rolled up a few inches, chains hanging off them, black and red pyramid stud belt clearly visible, tie was hanging loosely around her neck with safety pins down one side, black fishnet arm warmers, ruby red ring on both her middle fingers, and black leather strappy boots. She had the whole punk rock chic right down to the black eyeliner. The look on her face was bored, but still held a twinge that she would blow up on you at any moment and would win even with her small frame.
Demetra on the other hand had shorter bleach blond hair with various shades of blue. Her eyes were an ocean blue that you could drown in, her skin was tan, but compared to Adena, she was pale and didn't hold as many assets that Adena did. No she wasn't fat, she was fit. She had the perfect athletic body. Her outfit wasn't anything out there like Adena's, but it still held personality. Her shirt was opened a few buttons to show her blue cami with lace trim at the top, skirt was angled more down left, and she had a sapphire blue ring on her right middle finger. She looked as though she wanted any way to get out of there and do something else.
Tallulah was standing there shyly, avoiding her gaze with anyone with the exceptions of the other two. She had long wavy brown hair that had pieces of green that actually worked with her. She had tanned skin and deep green eyes. By comparison, it looked like she was the only one who kept her uniform the way she got it, the only thing that stood out was the emerald pendant that was on her choker. Even though she looked like she was a little shy, there was something in those deep green orbs that said otherwise.
"Would you three like to tell the class a little about yourself?" Mr. Hoffman asked the three girls.
"Not particularly, but seeing as you're going to ask again, fine… I'm Adena Le Feu- as you already know. I really don't feel like talking as much as you don't want to hear what I say. So I'm going to shut up and take my seat," With that Adena walked off and sat in the back.
"Well I'm Demetra L'Eau and I love water. I've won the European championship for six years straight in all divisions and won the award for the youngest swimmer ever to place first… Yeah, I think that's all that you should know about me," the blue haired girls climbed the stairs after her friend leaving the green streaked girl to introduce herself alone.
"Hi, I'm Tallulah La Terre, but please call me anything but. Call me Telly or Lula or something. I am just a girl who cares greatly for her environment… so yeah," with a smile she walked off and sat by her friends.
"Okay, now girls, we had just finished talking about the subject on the magic phenomenon. I would like you to write a five minute speech on whether you believe in it or not, please include some evidence to back up your point," The girls nodded simultaneously then began to talk amongst themselves.
"I don't know about you three, but that Adena is hot," Reid muttered to his brothers and took a glance at the dark haired girl.
"Demetra is pretty fit," Tyler said looking at the blue haired girl.
"So Leb, what do you think about the new girls?" Reid smirked at his older friend.
"Their okay," Caleb sighed.
He hasn't thought about girls since Sarah had left a while back. When she had said she was okay about the whole Covenant situation she had been lying and was freaking out on the inside. The near death experience had thrown it over the edge. She had up and left one day without a word and left everyone with mixed emotions. Caleb took it to heart and hasn't been his full self. He still mopes around, but at least now he jokes and hangs with the guys.
"Okay?! Even I can say that these girls are hot," Pouge smirked and took a quick at the new faces.
"Fine, Telly has nice assets," Caleb smirked and with that comment caused the boys to break out in a quiet laughter.
"So, you all up for another party at the Dells tonight?" Reid asked the boys as he pulled his fingerless gloves on tighter.
"You bet, it ain't a party unless the Sons of Ipswich are there," Pouge said a little cocky. The rest just nodded.
The bell had rung and everyone had left the room quickly. It was the end of the day and who wanted to stay in class longer than necessary?
The Sons just left the room and made their way towards the pool. They had swim practice to attend to before they could party at the Dells.
When they had finished changing, the girls division had the pool first. It was only common courtesy. Plus the boys didn't mind so much, they got to see the girls half naked for a few minutes.
"Alright girls, we have a new recruit. Now Sandra, Shannon, Amanda, and Demetra, swim a lap freestyle. Let's see if Miss Demetra is all that she says she is," The coach waited for them to get into the ready position before blowing the whistle.
They were off. Demetra had taken the lead and did not disappoint. She had already made it to the end of the pool while the other girls were just making it to the middle marker. It wasn't long before she had made it back and was still breathing regularly. She just shrugged things off and walked to her friends as though nothing special had happened.
"Whoa," The Sons muttered what everyone in the room was thinking.
"Dude, Demy, slack off much," Adena criticized her friend.
"I know! That was the slowest time I've ever had in like... ever! But these girls haven't gone against Olympic swimmers. They don't even know what tough competition is like," Demetra muttered.
"Dem, calm down. Your not swimming, no need to get hostile yet," Telly said in a calm soothing tone.
Demetra just nodded and took a few deep breaths before walking back to watch a few other girls practice a few laps.
"Weren't your friends being a little harsh?" Caleb asked the blue haired girl.
"Nope. That wasn't even close to how bad my Russian coach is. Plus what they said is true, I didn't really try, thus giving me my slowest time ever," Demetra shrugged.
"You mean to tell us you can go faster?" Pouge asked with eyes wide.
"Longer the distance and ending with the same time," The guys were about to ask the girl more but was cut off by the girls coach.
"Demetra! Give me ten laps, no stopping,"
"Whoa, isn't that a little much?" Tyler asked the coach a little concerned about what might happen to the girl.
"It's not you who has to do them," was all he got from the coach before he walked away to bark orders at another girl.
Demetra just touched his shoulder and gave him a reassuring smile before making a perfect dive into an empty lane.
"Poor girl," Pouge muttered before walking into a different lane and doing a few laps himself.
