Chapter 2

Once she had finally finished speaking with the headmistress and received her class schedule, Raven wandered out of the front office and looked up and down the empty hallway. Though it was a small school, it was quite splendid, and the black and white framed photos on the walls made it evident that the school's distinguished history went back for more than a few decades. Displays of neatly arranged and polished trophy cases highlighted the standard of success the school expected from its students. Next to the lustrous mahogany lockers lining the walls, an immaculate set of windows revealed an open courtyard with blossoming flowers. Raven whistled in a state of admiration. This school was a lot nicer than she had anticipated.

The first morning class had already begun, and Raven was starting to have second thoughts about the whole thing. Maybe, if she moved quickly, she could just teleport back to her apartment and hide in her books for the rest of her lonely life. The more she lingered in the quiet hallway, the better the idea sounded. With an exasperated sigh, Raven despondently began to drift down the hallway. Who was she kidding? She didn't belong here. She didn't even belong on this planet. There was no way this was going to work.

As she began to round a corner, still lost in thought, Raven smacked into something formidable and soon found herself lying on the hard, linoleum ground. With a small groan, Raven tried to sit up, but found immediate difficulty. When Raven slowly opened her violet eyes, she found herself gazing into a pair of curious green eyes. With slight mortification, Raven realized that the green eyes belonged to a boy, a quite handsome boy, who was lying right on top of her. Raven noticed that he smelled like freshly cut grass and spearmint and nearly sighed in content. He was so handsome, though, he was beginning to make her feel a little uncomfortable. Why was he staring at her like that? And why the heck was he still on top of her? Feeling awkward and slightly annoyed, Raven mumbled the most charming statement she could think of, "Ow."

The handsome boy immediately seemed to snap out of whatever reverie he was stuck in and nervously responded, "Heh. Sorry about that. Are you okay?"

"I'd be a lot better if you would stop crushing me.", Raven deadpanned. So much for making friends on the first day.

"Oh sorry! Sorry! Here, let me help you!"

Mortified, the boy swiftly stood up and offered his hand to Raven, who was still lying on the ground in sardonic disbelief that this was, in fact, her actual life.

Without taking his hand, Raven stood up and began to dust off what used to be her clean and ironed shirt. When she was finished attempting to look presentable, she was a little perturbed to find that the boy was still there, watching her with an intrigued look on his face. He was just standing there, like he was trying to take in and absorb her existence. With him seemingly distracted, Raven decided to get a better look at her assailant.

Yes, he was definitely handsome, but not in an obnoxious kind of way. He wasn't as tall as Raven had originally guessed, only about 5'8", but she could tell he was toned and athletic and probably played sports like he was 6'4". His eyes were kind and expressive, and Raven found it difficult to look at them without feeling like he was seeing into her very soul. If she squinted, Raven could swear she saw a lone fang poking out of his somewhat shy, but infectious, grin. Just as she was about to allow a small smile to play on her lips, Raven realized that she had been blatantly sizing him up and averted her gaze in embarrassment.

"Soooo...this was fun. I'm gonna go now", Raven remarked self-consciously and turned to go.

The boy seemed alarmed at her sudden departure and grabbed her arm in haste, blurting out, "Wait!"

The unexpected contact shook Raven to her core and in self-defense she almost unleashed her powers on him. In the distance, Raven could hear a florescent lightbulb shatter, as a result of her channeled powers. As if sensing her tension though, the boy immediately retracted his hand and Raven began to relax. What was this guy's deal?

The boy shuffled his feet and with a hopeful smile on his face, remarked, "Uhh sorry about that, but I couldn't let you leave without learning your name."

Still a little tense and confused from the unwelcome contact, Raven simply uttered, "Raven.", before turning on her heel and walking toward the English department. Can't exactly just disappear now. *Sigh*. Might as well go to class and see what happens.

As she continued to walk down the hall, she heard him call after her in a sheepish voice, "Oh uh okay! Cool! My name's Garfield!"

"Super", Raven muttered as she turned the corner to the English department. She made a mental note to visit the school's library as soon as possible, as she had a sneaky suspicion that many of the texts stored there were first-editions.
