Chapter Two - Places I'd Never Been

Hey guys, I'm back with an update from this story! There weren't necessarily a specific vote for any of the characters, however since Evx voted for any Meague child and heywassuphelloo voted for Mina's eldest son, we're going to go with him! Let's find out what's going on with this boy, shall we?

I also want to apologize for how long I've been gone. I've had homework, I've been trying - and failing - to write a novel, and a friend of mine has been acting like a complete jerk (although I'm relieved we aren't hanging out anymore if she intends on acting like that). However, I'm here! So, hopefully you guys will enjoy the update. :3

Evx : Hm, I think you may know who it is. xD Of course, I'm not going to say if you are right or wrong since you didn't come out and say her name. However, it'll be more obvious as to who she is later! And haha, well, this woman can only mean trouble to the Meague family, so you may be killing her over and over again. c;

so in her own head : Ooh, I always hate when I forget characters' names. It's so frustrating! And thank you for the chocolate! I had a wonderful Christmas, with lots of Once Upon a Time gifts, so I was very happy. c: I hope you had an awesome Christmas too!

heywassuphelloo : I'm glad you like the story and the set up so far! :D Hopefully this update won't disappoint!

Mik : I'm glad you like the spin so far! I'm really happy with it, and I can't wait to show more to the story.

Now, on we go!

Also, I made an error in the first chapter, as I said something about Brody and Nan's kid. You'll see why that's an error this chapter.

Joshua's Point of View

Leaning back in my chair, I brush my chocolate brown hair from my face. Next to my seat is the blue backpack I managed to get from a human, and I got a motel room that I've been staying in just as easily four months ago. Now, I'm waiting for the principal to finish getting the papers in their proper place, and then to get me my schedule. Honestly, I would've expected the process to be a bit more difficult, but after spending a whole summer on the human plane and getting myself used to how everything works here, I found it quite simple.

In fact, it's been a real adventure to me, and I'm excited to jump into a human school one month in.

Finally, the principle - I've learned her name is Ms. Forbes - walks back in, her heels clicking on the ground and making her three inches taller than she should be. She's wearing a white, long-sleeved, incredibly formal shirt, and black pants. Her hair is raven-black and up in a bun, and her light green eyes seem very warm and inviting. I stay wary though. I'm not quite sure if I should trust her - or anyone - if I want to keep my identity safe.

"Here's your schedule, Joshua." She hands me a sheet of paper, which I set on my lap so I can direct my attention towards her and keep myself from skimming over it to see what's on it. "Everyone will be going to second period soon, so I'll walk you there, and we'll get you someone who you can follow around for the day from there." As if on cue with what she says, the bell rings, signaling the change in schedule if I'm not mistaken.

"Alright. Thanks for letting me come in to the school, Ms. Forbes." I give her a dazzling smile, and hope that my blue, golden-speckled eyes will up my chances of being letting off in case I get into any trouble later. A charming boy always seems to get what he wants, especially when he has Fae and prince blood.

She smiles at me, and opens the door for me to walk out. "I'm glad you'll be here." I grab my backpack, slinging it over my right shoulder and following her.

The tardy bell rings as we walk towards wherever I need to go next, signaling that second period has started. I'm not sure whether to be disappointed, because I didn't want to draw too much attention to my rival seeing as now I'm technically a rogue Fae, or if I should be excited, because that means I'll come in and have everyone's attention. I don't have time to decide though, because we reach a classroom, and Ms. Forbes opens the door and has me walk in. The class stops when I walk in, and the teacher - a brunette - pauses. She's dressed in a white, long-sleeved blouse with a light blue shirt underneath the just shows above the neckline of the blouse. Her shoes happen to be white flats, and she seems to be wearing diamond earrings. I draw the conclusion pretty quickly that she must be rich.

"I'm so sorry that I'm interrupting your math class, Ms. Pri." Ms. Forbes apologizes as she ushers me closer to the lady. "However, we have a new student, and I assumed you'd be okay with me interrupting to do so."

She gives a small smile, though it's not quite as warm or friendly as Ms. Forbes'. "Of course." She tilts her head a little as she looks at me. "What's your name?"

"I'm Joshua." I give her my own charming smile, which I favor much more than her's.

"Right, Joshua." She nods her head almost in an approving manor, and turns her attention back to Ms. Forbes. "Is there anyone in particular that you think should be leading him around?"

"I was thinking maybe Kiara Carmichael should. She has every class with him, minus art." Ms. Pri looks pleased to hear this.

"Of course!" She turns to the class, and I get my first good look at everyone.

However, Kiara Carmichael is the one I pay attention to. She's sitting in the back, right corner of the room. She's got strawberry blonde hair with a slight curl to it that is currently in a ponytail, and it has a white, blue, and yellow bow in it. (Author's Note: I didn't know the school's colors. . So, I just picked some! Sorry for putting a note in the middle of the story.) A rather triumphant smile adorns her face - probably because she gets to give the new guy the tour of the place and therefore feels she has 'first dibs' - as she gives a small wave, her blue eyes meeting mine. She's wearing a cheer leading outfit too, signaling that she is extremely popular.

"You can sit back there, next to Kiara." Ms. Pri gestures to an empty seat next to her, and I nod, walking over as quickly as I can, because I can feel lots of eyes on me.

When Ms. Forbes leaves, Kiara turns to me, and I'm at least relieved that she's at least acting like she's friendly, since I don't know for sure that she actually is. "As Ms. Forbes said, I'm Kiara Carmichael. You may have heard of my father, Brody Carmichael, or my mother, Savannah Carmichael." When I shake my head, her smile almost falters, but I might've imagined it because it looks just fine an instant later. "So, Joshua, how long have you been here? I've never seen you around."

"I've been here for about four months. I tend to keep to myself though." I shrug.

"Ah, that explains why I never ran into you. Where were you before now?" She's turned slightly so she can look at me when she asks.

I should've seen this question coming. Thankfully, I manage to invent an answer that let's me state the truth without stating the whole truth. "I came from a far away place. You wouldn't know where it was, otherwise I'd tell you where. My mom and dad are doing important work there, so I came here, since things were rather boring for me there." And there was too much responsibility, seeing as I was the heir to the throne and had to learn all the extra stuff involved with that.

"Alright, cool." She nods. "Do you play any sports?"

"I can play a little." I shrug again when I give my answer, and her smile widens a little.

"You'll have to show me in fourth period. I'd love to see what you can do."

Alright guys, what did you think of the characters introduced so far, and of the information we learned? Hopefully this update wasn't a disappointment!

Once again, you guys get to choose who the next chapter's perspective is from! It won't be from Joshua's perspective, however we do have many other options! (I promise that there aren't just all girls as kids, they just happen to be the ones you can choose from this time!)

a) Teague's and Mina's youngest child, who is a girl

b) Alex's and Nan's eldest child, who is a girl

c) Brody's and Savannah's eldest child (who shares this position), Kiara

d) ?'s and ?'s eldest child, Raven

Anyways, three reviews and I'll try and get an update to you guys! c:
