Chapter 1: Jatta, 10:28 am.

"There it is, Catyn Academy. The school for the weirdoes" I sighed as I said that. "...I really don't belong here."

I walked up to the front doors, ready to run across the yard if anything jumped out at me. Then a bunch of young girls, maybe from ages 10 to 12, burst out the doors screaming like they just saw Justin Bieber.

"Heh," I heard a voice say from inside the school "gets them every time..." The figure glanced over and noticed me standing out of the path the stampede of pre-teens were just following, and walked over to me. I thought about whether I should stay there, or book it. "Hey," he said "I'm Luke." "Um, hi?" I replied, I was obviously shy to the stranger, but he seemed nice enough.

"You must be the new girl," he asked, surprising me with his curiosity.

"Yeah, I'm, Jatta." "Nice name." he replied "Why don't you come on in, there's a few people who have been waiting to meet you." I looked blankly at his pale, white-blonde hair and his deep blue eyes. It was a strange color combination, but was also somewhat pretty.

I followed him into what seemed to be the 'Cafeteria'. We walked up to a group of people all gathered around a table. "That is Shania," he pointed to a girl with dark copper-colored hair and green eyes "That's Jared," pointed to a guy with a really awesome tan and black hair "That over there is Serenity, she's a, bit of a weirdo." He pointed at a girl with red-blonde hair.

"And of course you've met me, Luke." he smiled at me sweetly, and I decided it was the right thing to smile back. I managed a cheesy little grin, but only barely.

I sat down next to Luke and Shania. Then Shania asked "What are you looking at?" She seems to have caught me looking at this boy at another table. She looked over and sighed, "Seth. He was the newest student before you came. He's dated, like, seven different girls since he got here, but he's currently single at the moment. Don't get your hopes up too high though; I doubt he would even look at you until he happens to somehow meet you."

I looked at Shania as she spoke, and then looked back toward Seth. I was attracted to him. All the boys at our group had super-hot abs, or seriously amazing hair. But Seth just had this, this beauty that nobody could describe. He looked over and caught me looking at him. I turned away, ashamed of myself. You're so stupid Jatta! Why would you do that? You saw him turning his head! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I thought to myself.Luke looked at me, adoration in his eyes. "What?" I managed to say to him "Er, nothing." he turned away and began to talk with Jared. Why in the world was he looking at me? He doesn't perhaps... nah, couldn't be! I turned away, and glanced over at Seth once last time, for I had a strange feeling about what is going to happen within the next few days.

That night, I couldn't stop thinking about him. About Seth. I couldn't stop thinking about how, mysterious, he seemed. I even watched my favorite movies to help me fall asleep. They worked, but every time I fell into a deep slumber, I had nightmares about a song, a boy, and myself.

A way through the darkness,

I cannot find it.

In despair and misery,

Light has no fit...

That was the song that haunted my dreams, but I had a feeling that wasn't the most cursed part of it. As for the boy, I could not see his face. But when I was around him, I had a sense of security. And as I woke, wounds from something I do not know of were embedded into my arms.

They were cuts; cuts in the shape of the full moon. They never bled; the blood just swelled up, then healed.
