I started school today, it was going to be strange not having Bryn there with me, we always used to fail algebra together! Calum couldn't understand why we failed it; he thought it was so obvious.

There were going to be 36 people in my 'class' (I guessed that meant my form,) that means at least 36 people to befriend or become enemies of. I hoped there were some cute guys at this school, who didn't care that I lived this side of the lake. It was so annoying at my last school nobody would talk to me because I lived with 'the weirdoes in the woods.'

Dad was going to drive me to school around the reservoir but in future I would have to make my own way across the reservoir, that was unless I fancied getting up at 5am every morning to walk round!

When we got there it totally shocked me. I was expecting to see a large concrete building with a huge parking area. Instead, it was a large old house with enough parking spaces for about 10 cars! That wasn't the only thing I wasn't expecting. On arrival at the main entrance we were net by Mrs. Windlass the Headmistress. She was a batty old woman who had absolutely no idea on how to use anything that had been invented in the past 50 years! She showed us into her miniature office and started to make us a cup of tea, I mean how many teachers do you know who keep a kettle in their office!

When she finally finished questioning me I was allowed to go join my form in our home room. I thought that there were going to be 36 people in form and about 7 forms in a year, but no, there were 18 people in my form and 36 in my whole year! I suppose it did make a difference from being 1 of 312.

As I walked into the form room everybody looked up and stared at me. Oh great I was the all new and exciting new girl. I subconsciously rolled my eyes. When I looked around the class room my attention was suddenly caught by a boy sitting right at the back of the classroom. There was something about him that set alarm bells ringing in my head. The boy sniffed the air, looked at me with a surprised look on his face, shrugged his shoulders and went back to writing something in his notepad.

Mrs Knight, my form tutor, finally managed to realise that I was a new girl and that she was supposed to assign me a desk. I looked around the room again a noticed that the only free desk was Just across the aisle, next to that boy! Oh well at least that gave me a chance to find out what that sniffing thing was about. As I sat down I too sniffed the air, but in a less obnoxious way. He smelt strange, he wasn't a wolf, but then again there was something about him that wasn't human

"Hey, my name is Rachel. What's yours?" I looked up to see a girl leaning on my desk. She had long blond hair and bright blue eyes that sparkled with life and a hint of mischief...
