Marina's P.O.V
I really didn't want to move to this small strange town but, in reality I didn't have much of a choice. My dad made me move here with him. He refused to stay in the town his ex wife, aka my mother, was buried in. As much as it kills me and him knowing that we wont be able to bring her flowers, it was for the best choice. Too many bad memories back in that dreadful town.
But, let me tell you. I did a little research before moving to this town because, well Im curious, and I discovered that there has been many past murders. And I don't mean 5 or 6, I mean like 23 in the past few years. If you asked me, thats a bit strange for a small town.
Anyways, Im currently on the bus ride to school. Scary, I know. It is my first day and I am already dreading it. I feel my throat in my stomach.
The bus suddenly comes to a halt, causing me to almost fall out of my seat. Incase you were wondering, yes Im sitting alone. I get off of the bus along with what feels like two hundred other kids. The school sure is big for such a small town.
I sigh as a beautiful Asian girl approaches me. I bet she just wants to taunt me for being the first new kid in a long time. Well at least I assume Im the newest kid here.
"Hey! Whats your name?" She asks me, her black hair flowing in the wind perfectly.
"Marina." I respond, surprised she didn't say anything rude already.
"Pretty name Im Kira!" She says chirpily with a wide grin etched across her flawless face.
"Thanks!" I say gratefully that Ive already met someone and had a decent chat with them.
"See you around!" Kira says then leaves swiftly as if she was never there. I head to my first class, History. As Im walking down the halls I keep hearing whispers coming from all ends of the building,
"He's back!"
"I thought he was dead!"
"He is just as hot as before!"
I have no clue who they're talking about so I keep walking until I am knocked down by a steel chest. You know what I mean by steel! Not like real steel.
"Hey, watch it." He says to me, but yet he still extends a hand out to me. I grab the hand, gratefully, and lift my self up. I guess he is sassy and polite? "Hang on, Ive never seen you before..." He says after I brush my hair out of my face.
"Oh Im new, its my first day." I inform him. "My names Marina." I say, smiling a little.
"Welcome," He greets, "my name is Jackson."
Jackson huh? Never heard that name before but it sounds nice. I watch as he walks away towards a group of guys. They all looked surprised to see him. Jackson must be the person who is "back" or whatever all the kids in the halls were talking about.
I continue to class. I walk into History and spot Kira speaking to the teacher.
"Please just give me more time on the project!" She begs him as she makes a pouty face.
"Kira, just because you are my daughter doesn't mean you should give special privileges the other students don't get!" Ohhhh, Kira is his daughter. That makes more sense as to why she would be in class this early. The official first period bell starts to ring and students come running in the classroom. I quickly take a seat at the back.
The moment I have been avoiding for the past 3 minutes of class finally happens,
"Ms. Gunn, would you care to introduce yourself to the class?" Mr. Yukimura asks me. Actually for a matter of fact I would care. But he isn't really asking me so. I awkwardly stand up and walk to the front of the class, fidgeting with the hem of my hoodie until I reach Mr. Yukimura's desk. He smiles, making me feel a little less pressured until I notice the bored stares the students are giving me. Kira just waves at me.
"Hello, I-Im M-Marina." I stuter awkwardly. The whole class says hi in unison I hear one guy say "Hi M-Marina." I also hear his friends chuckle. I feel my face heat up in embarrassment.
After I sat back down the rest of class kind of went by quickly. In the next class, Economics, I sat near a dark brown haired boy. I couldn't help but notice how pale he was. On the other side of him was a tanner boy with dark hair also. Apparently according to the students the teacher was also the coach, Coach Finstock. Luckily, he didn't make me introduce myself. I don't even think he noticed me.
I sighed in relief as he went on with his normal lesson. Nobody has noticed me yet, lucki-
"Hey, whats your name?" The pale boy next to me asked, chewing his gum annoyingly loud and tapping his foot repeatedly.
"Marina." I say, making sure I didn't stutter. I looked over towards the tan boy as he slightly waved to me. I waved back slowly and the pale boy looked back to the tan boy then to me and smirked.
"Stiles, Stiles Stilinski." He said, extending a hand towards me. I shook it and then shook his friends hand just as I was about to stop shaking the tan boys hand I heard a booming voice, Coach Finstock.
"NO TALKING WHILE I SPEAK!" I wasn't even talking... Weiiiirdddd!
"Thats Scott. Or should I say Scoot." Stiles whispered. Scoot- I mean Scott, hit Stiles arm hard. Who would named their kid Stiles Stilinski? One weird mom he has there. (A/N: R.I.P Claudia Stilinski) "Don't hit me Scoot!" Stiles whispered at him.
"Since when did you start calling me Scoot?" Scott asked in an annoyed tone. Scott rolled his eyes and turned back towards me. "My name is Scott Mcall. NOT Scoot Mcall." He said and Stiles basically died laughing.
"Its funnier when you say it." Stiles mumbled. "No wait its funnier when Lydia says it." Stiles added, chuckling.
"NO LAUGHING IN MY CLASS!" Coach ordered.
The rest of the day went by, no new people, nobody died.
As the bus dropped me off on a street away from my new house, I decided to take a small walk before heading back home.
I kick the brown fallen leafs out of my way as I look down at the ground, the cold air nipping at my olive skin. I hear the wind howling as the night begins to fall. Then suddenly my heart lurches as I hear a twig snap. I turn fast enough to catch of glimpse of whatever it is in the bushes.
Theres nothing there.
Calm down Marina. It had to be something. Nothing can move that fast so its most likely to be a small animal. Or a dog that can jump over a 4 feet stone wall? What am I saying? I am probably imaging things.
I continue my stroll around the neighborhood, I watch as kids go inside there houses. I am now the only person on the street. I suddenly spot a small fluffy dog walking my way. I check the name tag, "Prada" Such a cute name for a small puppy. Why is it all alone. I pick up Prada and begin to pet her. Only for a second, Im sure the owner wont notice. But not long after I hear shouting and spot a girl stomping my way.
"Get your filthy hands off of my Prada!" She fumes, snatching Prada out of my hands. Honestly, I don't blame her. I mean I did kind of pick her up and it pretty much looked like I was kidnapping her.
"Im so sorry!" I apologized to her. My face had a mixture of guilty and scared all over it.
"Hey, aren't that new girl?" She suddenly asks me, her angry tone suddenly changing to a more casual one.
"Yes, my name is Marina." I greet her. She smiles and puts Prada down. Prada runs into the back yard of what I assume is her house and disappears.
"Lydia." She informs me. I smile a small smile. She is a pretty ginger. I think she notices me staring at her hair.
"Its strawberry blonde." Lydia says as if she were reading my mind. I nod. Note to self, Lydia's hair is strawberry blond. Not ginger.
She then says something that made me a bit surprised.
"Come inside."
A/N: Sorry this chapter is so short, and sorry it isn't full of new found crushes and all the love stuff. Were not quite there yet ;)
