The school was not like any of the schools I had been in previously. The institutionalism was missing, as was the teeming crush of the students. I felt very alone. And I really didn't like it.
I wandered to my home room, just as the bell rang. The small crowd of students veered into their respective classrooms. I took off my jacket and waited by the teachers' desk. Mr Varner looked me over with suspicion. I wasn't welcome here. I looked like trouble. I probably was.
After homeroom, there was English and Algebra II. I stumbled through the class, and managed to make it look like I belonged in the AP classes. That part was easy. The hardest part would be the lunch room. This was where the entire student body would (if they hadn't already) compare notes on the strange new girl, Isabella, and speculate as to why she wasn't with her father.
When I walked in, the entire cafeteria hushed. I made this worse by falling over my own feet. Great. I was definitely out to make an ass of myself today. I managed to make it through the lunch line without further disgracing myself, and made it to the only empty table in the room without tripping. I sighed with relief and started to unload my tray. Then a voice interrupted me.
"Excuse me."
I looked up to the most intriguing black eyes, and the crooked smile that adorned the face of the god-like creature before me. I smiled, opened my mouth…
And croaked.
The humiliation.
My face reddened and my heartbeat started to race in lieu of the laughter and ridicule I was about to face. But it never came.
"Sorry to scare you, but this is my family's table. We sit here every lunch."
I was mortified. This god had siblings? Oh. My. God.
I assessed him with what I hoped looked like wit and charm. He was tall and lean, but muscular, with pale skin and bronze hair with those piercing black eyes. He had the look of Adonis, only better. And then I saw his family. There were four others. The first was a tall statuesque blonde, with dark gold eyes and long blonde hair. She looked like a supermodel. And then there was a small petite girl, thin in the extreme with short spiky black hair and also had the dark golden eyes. Then the two other guys were just, wow. The tall one was dark-haired and very muscular. The second was smaller, leaner somehow but still more muscular than the bronze- haired god. And he was blonde haired as well.
"Well, is it ok if we share for today?"
I looked up enquiringly.
"I'm sure you can find somewhere else to sit."
The blonde girl said quite rudely, with a toss of her hair.
I grabbed my tray and moved off the table. Not before falling over. The bronze-haired one grabbed my arm to steady me.
"You really should look where you're going."
"It doesn't really help either way."
He shrugged.
"I'll have to watch out for you in gym then."
His mouth was moving up into the most arresting smile, and, as I walked away, I noticed the look of thunder on the blonde girls face. That was satisfying. Maybe she was jealous. I don't know.
