The new kids
Chapter one
Eirian and Thaddeus
Edward and I were sitting in biology holding hands under the desk, the teacher was lecturing us about the developmental process of the Ubiquitous house bird sparrow, and I wasn't really listening to whatever he said after that.
My mind was on the new girl sitting two rows a head of me; Mr. Banner had introduced her at the beginning of class. Her name was Eirian and the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, she actually put Rosalie to shame. She was about 5'9 with long silky blonde hair ending just below her waist. She had white porcelain skin and beautiful lavender/gray eyes with specks of blue and was wearing a long sleeved tight gray under shirt and a black shirt two sizes too big with AC/DC scrawled across the front, tight skinny black pants and black and white converse. The teacher had introduced her to the class and asked her to tell us something about her, "my favorite color is gray and I'd like to be left alone if you don't mind." The authority in her voice was alarming; minus the clothes she had such an innocent face, although the threat in her tone was unmistakable.
During the whole class she kept her hands folded on top of the desk, staring out the window into space, and whenever the teacher asked her a she'd glare at him from under the fringe of her lashes and mumble the answer, in which the teacher would have to strain to here the answer. For the seventh time he called on her that day pulling her from the clouds she turned the full force of her impending stare on him, "Dear mister Banner, do you seriously expect me to know the damned feeding habits of some stupid sparrow no one including me gives a shit about?"
Mr. Banner's eyes bulged out of his head. The entire class room filled with tension, and from under the table Edward squeezed my hand I stole a quick glance his way before turning my gaze back to the girl curios to see what she would do now. The seconds dragged by, Mr. Banner had gotten over the initial surprise and they were both glaring intently at each other, his face set in a deep grimace while she had a smirk tugging at the corners of her mouth. Everyone in the room understood to keep their mouths shut right now, all except Mike Newton. He was sitting in his usual seat waving his arms childishly back and forth in the air, yelping. "ooh, pick me, pick me, I know the answer, pick me!" by the end of his little rant he was jumping up and down in his chair and Mr. banner had turned purple. "Oops, I guess there is someone who cares about the pathetic bird, maybe you should pick on the imbecile in the corner," she sneered and with a quick flick of her wrist she was pointing directly at mike who was now jumping up and down in his seat with joy. Either for the fact that she acknowledged him or it was his turn I'll never know.
Mr. Banner leaned closer till his nose was a few inches away from hers, he said in a threateningly calm voice, "your lucky this is your first day here or I would've sent you to the office by now, and next time you decide to interrupt my class so rudely I hope you understand you will be punished, even if it's the last thing I'll do." He sauntered his way to the front of the classroom and called on mike.
After that the rest of biology passed uneventfully, as did school, Eirian wasn't in any more of my classes so when I got out of gym I met Edward leaning on the wall on the side of the building waiting for me I ran up to him without tripping (thank you very much) and after I gave him a peck on the lips and we exchanged "I love you's" we turned to walk to the parking lot, that's when I spotted her. She was casually sitting on the hood of a shiny black… you'll never guess….. Hearse. She was positioned Indian style with her head turned, talking someone. Just barely caught what she had said, "Hey Thaddeus, I was wondering if you were 'gonna' ditch tomorrow?" the one she had called Thaddeus was propped up against the side of the door with his arms crossed over his chest staring of at nothing in particular. At the sound of her voice he turned his neck towards her smirking, and gave her a curt nod. When I saw him my breath hitched in my lungs and my heart stopped beating. He was the most beautiful being I had ever seen (except of course for Edward and Eirian). His icy pale features were perfect, a shaggy halo of silky black hair framed his beautiful face, his eyes resembled shimmering sapphires and his body was lean tall but undoubtedly strong, his heavy god like gaze intimidating. Things were getting foggy and then I remembered to breath. I sucked in a sharp intake of air and looked away before they noticed me staring.
I looked back at Edward who had noticed my little ordeal, and was looking at me expectantly, eyebrows raised, humor and a hint of jealously in his eyes. "What was that about?" He questioned, I pressed my mind for a good lie, "I was just wondering if they were vampires despite their eyes." "No," came his short reply, "however they are definitely not normal.' We climbed into his silver Volvo and he drove me back home.
