Alright, the thoughts that Tyson had are as follows. The ironic one is that Ashley and Shannon are best friends, but their elements are complete opposites. The other thought is that Ashley's hair is red; a colour associated with fire and Shannon's hair is dark blue tinted, blue being a colour associated with water. Anyway, on with the chapter:
Tyson's POV
It's nine o'clock, another three hours to class. Almost everyone in this hallway is awake. And I'm still half asleep from having to get up so early. So, I was trying to catch some Z's when the door was flung open and right at my bedside was a girl around my height with long black hair streaked with dark red. Her eyes were bordering on red (which would make her look like a demon) and dark brown.
"So, you're Amy's brother Tyson," she said, more of a statement than a question. I nodded, rubbing my eyes after being woken so abruptly.
"I'm Christine, the fastest person in the school, except, it seems, for you," she said, catching my interest in a competitive type of way.
"What, worried I'll steal your thunder?" I asked, fully awake at the prospect of a potential race. Now, I can be your typical speedster at times, ya know, the type who doesn't back down from a chance to show off how fast they are. Fastest person in the school, come on, that is like begging to be bitten by a vampire...okay, bad comparison, but you get the idea. It was too tempting to resist.
"You can show me your thunder after classes finish, down at the race track," Christine said before disappearing out of the room. After that, I was fully awake, so I left the room to explore. At least, until loud music blared out from the room across the hall from us.
Glad I wasn't asleep, I went over and knocked, then remembered Cody's warning. Before I could turn away, the door opened slightly, a face with eyes as black as night and black hair looked at me, making me regret knocking the door.
"What do you want?" she asked, her voice asked, surprisingly clear over the music.
"Could you possibly turn the music down!" I said, bordering on shouting to be heard.
"You heard him, turn it down!" the girl said, the music turned down almost instantly. "You're the first person to actually do that. I'll admit, you've got guts. Name's Kate, the ninja around here," she said, a small smile on what I could see of her face. I noticed a small fang, but dismissed it.
"Tyson, just got here this morning," I said, feeling more at ease with this girl.
"Welcome, now if you don't mind," she said, closing the door. At least I got to meet the ninja without having to fight her. She doesn't seem as bad as Cody said. If that's the case, I kinda want to meet this Miranda.
If she's a mind reader, I might understand how a girl, presumably Miranda, came out of the door at the end of the hall. She could have been someone who had boys begging to go out with her, except for a few things. First, her make-up looks kinda creepy. Second, she is wearing a black tube top, torn black ¾ length jeans with black trainers. Third is that she has almost white skin. Lastly, though they're hidden by cloak of her waist length night black hair, her violet hue eyes are constantly glaring venom tipped daggers right at you.
Cody's description doesn't prepare you for what she's like in person. I stepped out of her way, hoping she would just ignore me, but instead she stopped right in front of me.
"New here," she said, again, more of a statement. I simply nodded pathetically, but then someone came down the hall, a rather large boy, and pushed Miranda. Now, I don't like seeing people get pushed around, but I did something more for the boy's sake, since Miranda's super skinny yet surprisingly strong looking form was restraining itself from killing that guy.
"Hey, you can't just push people around like that," I said, causing the guy to turn around.
"Oh really? What are you going to do?" he asked, easily towering over me. Now, everyone else, including Sean(who I really wished was behind me at this present moment in time), was in the room, so I simply tried to focus on lifting the guy off the ground.
Easy you may think. NOT when you haven't been able to make the object you INTENDED to levitate, but instead cause a little chaos somewhere else. That's precisely what happened, and a chair at the end of the hall, fell forward.
"Ha, I knew a little kid like you couldn't do anything right," the guy said, pushing me back.
"Look out," I said as Miranda turned to see me falling towards her, sending her crashing to the floor and me landing on top of her.
"Get off me before you die in the worst way I can imagine," she said, her voice dripping with venom that scared the heck outta me.
"I'm so sorry...I just thought that...," I said before she gave me a glare that shut me up.
"What did you actually do? You just made your life here worse before it begins," Miranda said, though not angry.
"I...I just...didn't...didn't want that big jerk to push you around. But then I forgot I'm the worst telekinetic in the world! I can't even move the objects I want to make move," I said.
"Don't beat yourself up like that. As much as it blew up in your face, you still did something that was sweet of you, and....thanks," she said before, much to my surprise, she kissed me on the cheek before walking on down the hallway in the way she had earlier.
"Holy crude....you just got a kiss...on your first day here....from creepier than creepy goth Miranda?! What the heck did you do?!" Cody asked before, really appropriately, I fainted.
Twenty minutes later.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS!? Miranda kissed him on his first day here!!" an unknown voice was shouting, waking me up after I'd fainted. No-one noticed me, but I noticed the two new arrivals on the room. One was a girl around my height with hair was white as snow, a black T-shirt, combat jeans and combat boots. The other was a boy who was a smidge taller with dark brown/black spiked hair. He was wearing a black T-shirt, blue jeans and black shoes. I coughed, getting everyone's attention.
"You must be Tyson. I'm Logan," the boy said in a calm voice. I then noticed the purple highlights in his hair that were sort of...not natural purple, if ya know what I mean.
"I'm Michelle, resident paranormal investigator," the girl said. For some reason, I could guess that she was into paranormal things due to the vibes she was giving off. Didn't I tell you, people with powers related to the mind like telekinesis and mind reading/control are empathic, which means we can pick up emotions or energies of other people. The energies given off from her are pretty paranormal related.
"Right, and by the way, it's not like Miranda kissed me on the lips," I said sarcastically, seeing stunned faces on the two new people. "What? What are you looking at me like that for?" I asked.
"On your face....um...black...lipstick..." Amy said, though if she was going to say anything else, I didn't hear it since I moved like a bullet to a mirror. I couldn't believe it, there, on my left cheek was Miranda's black lipstick, along with two small puncture wounds (so small that I could only feel them and not see them). The lipstick was bad enough, but puncture wounds?! IS MIRANDA A VAMPIRE OR SOMETHING?!
Being my twin, Amy heard me screaming in my head due to twin telepathy, which is why she said "She kinda has super sharp vampire fangs," as the answer. Grumbling, I wiped the lipstick off, hearing Michelle asking I couldn't make out. I'm really becoming well known in this school, aren't I? Though I must admit, as shocking as it was, Miranda's kiss does mean a lot to me. It's the first time I've ever been kissed by a girl AT ALL! I know, fourteen years old and no girlfriend, but hey, that's me.
Now, call me superstitious, but when I had that thought of not having a girlfriend, I heard a voice, same as the one from earlier, ask to meet me, met with a shout from Amy and a fairly loud thud. Like I said, I'm really becoming popular. I looked at the clock and saw that it was now half nine. Well, can't avoid unpacking can I. After wiping the lipstick off, I went over to my bed and pulled out the suitcase. Now apart from the obvious things like clothes and school stuff, all I really had was my IPod, my cell phone and some money for food and stuff.
I pulled out a few black and blue shirts, a pair of black jeans, cargo jeans and a few pairs of blue jeans and put them into a drawer built into the bed, then found my schoolbag, a plain black shoulder bag with the Ben Sherman logo on the flap. I grabbed a few random books and put them into it, and that was me unpacked.
"Hey, if you're telekinetic, why didn't you just use that to unpack?" Shannon asked, apparently seeming to have been watching me.
"Well, I'm not the best telekinetic in the world....I can't move any object no matter how hard I concentrate on it, I only just wreck something in the process," I said, a little awkward at having to say it.
"Maybe Rachel can teach you," Shannon said. I shrugged then lay down on my bed, suddenly shivering. It wasn't cold, but the strangest thing was the purple/black mist that was now in the middle of the room.
From it emerged a boy who seemed to look a bit like Logan, only with grey highlights and dark grey jeans. He also had piercing green eyes, though not in a bad way. Behind him another mist cloud of the same colours, and the girl that emerged from it had dark purple eyes, long black hair with light grey streaks, black sleeveless top, short black skirt and knee high, high heeled black boots.
"What...who are you?" I asked, slightly unnerved at their entrance. To be fair, they rose from the ground like ghosts and sorta look like ghosts.
"Name's Mephiles, and you must be Tyson," he said, his voice darker (again, not in a bad way) than Logan's.
"Lilith, and Kate told us," the girl said, almost like she'd read my mind. I know, seems all hot yet dark girls here have that effect. Also, it seems that these two aren't brother and sister, since my empathy is detecting romance between them.
"These two are the hottest gothic couple around," Shannon said, earning a quick playful glare from Lilith. "Of course, speaking of gothic and couples, Miranda kissed Tyson on the cheek earlier," Shannon said, making my face turn as red as Ashley's hair and as hot as her flames.
"Are you serious? The only people she likes around here is us two, and she kissed him on his first day here? What did you do?" Lilith asked with curiosity I'm guessing isn't normal from her.
"I just stood up for her, that's all. If it helps, I fainted afterwards," I said, a little nervous being around these two.
"Man, Jason, Sam, Magenta and Viola are going to go crazy when they hear this," Mephiles said. Okay, I'm only here a few hours and already one of the hottest couples knows about me. I must have thought this a lot, but I have become very popular very quickly.
