"So how's my werewolf best friend doing today?" Mason asked Liam as he walked toward the beta. It had only been a few weeks since Liam finally came clean to Mason about the supernatural. Although, he didn't have much choice since Mason had been attacked by a Berserker at the school. Mason took the news pretty well, though; he was just happy to finally know what was wrong with his friend.
"Fine, I guess," Liam shrugged. "I just really don't want to have to go through another semester of school, teachers, homework, and everything."
"Dude, you do realize that we're only freshmen, so we still have three more years of high school left after this one, right?" Mason laughed. "You just gotta suck it up and deal with it."
"Yeah, I guess," Liam said flatly, looking down at his shoes. When he looked up, he couldn't believe his eyes. Standing at the other end of the hallway was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life. He wasn't exaggerating, either. She was absolutely stunning. She had shiny golden hair that cascaded down her back, and Liam could see her sparkling blue eyes all the way from where he was standing at his locker. He noticed that she kept looking around, then back down at a piece of paper in her hand. A schedule, maybe? He could hear Mason talking but he couldn't focus on the words. He was too focused on this mysterious girl's beauty.
"Are you even listening to me?" Mason questioned. He saw Liam staring intently at something in the distance, so he followed his gaze over to the girl. He snapped his fingers in front of Liam's face to get his attention.
"What?" Liam asked as he shook his head.
"You're drooling," Mason responded sarcastically. Liam scowled at him.
"Wow you're so funny," Liam rolled his eyes. He looked at the girl again and noticed that she was walking towards them. "She's coming this way!"
"Dude, calm down," Mason said with a laugh. "Just go talk to her." Liam shot Mason a look as if to say Are you crazy?
"That is probably the worst idea you have ever come up with," Liam said as he noticed that the girl was about to walk past them.
"No, this is," Mason smirked. Before Liam even had time to comprehend what was happening, Mason had called the girl over to them.
"Hi, I'm Mason," the boy said with a smile. "And this is my very best friend Liam Dunbar." Liam gave a little awkward wave and felt his cheeks getting hot.
"Hey, I'm Rose," the beautiful girl said.
"Well I think I'm gonna be late to class, so I should get going. See you guys later," Mason sang as he walked off. Rose smiled a little.
"He seems…interesting," she giggled.
"Yeah he's a little different but I love him anyway," Liam laughed too, calming some of his nerves. "So…you new here?"
"Is it that obvious?" Rose asked, looking down at all the books she was holding.
"Don't worry, you're gonna fit in just fine here," Liam offered her a smile. "So where's your first class?"
"Uhh…" she said as she fumbled around with some papers. "I have Math with Mr. Lucas."
Liam's eyes brightened. "Really? That's my class! I can walk you there if you want."
"Oh thank you! I keep getting lost around this place," the girl smiled, a look of relief washing over her face.
"No problem! Here, I'll take those for you," he said as he reached for her books.
"Oh that's okay, you don't have to…" she trailed off as her books were lifted from her arms. "Thanks…again." She said shyly as she looked at the boy's piercing blue eyes. They walked down the hall and up a flight of stairs until they got to Mr. Lucas' room.
"So how come you transferred to Beacon Hills?" Liam asked.
"Well I used to live in Michigan, but then my dad got a great job offer here that he couldn't refuse," Rose answered. The bell rang for class to start and Rose took a seat next to Liam. Mr. Lucas walked in shortly after and tapped his pen on a desk to get the class' attention. He was a short man with a round belly and a pointy noise. Rose thought he resembled a penguin.
"Now class, we have a new student joining us this semester: Miss Rose Waters," Mr. Lucas announced. "Wow, what a name," he added sarcastically under his breath. Rose waved awkwardly as everyone turned to stare at her. She suddenly felt really nervous with all eyes on her. She turned to Liam and he offered her a reassuring smile. Rose knew this would be a long day, but at least she had already made one friend.
