The Suspicion- Part 1

Chloes P.O.V.

I got into the class before anyone else. I sat in the back, and took my stuff out. How could this happen? I had a dream last nigth about a guy, and the very next day, he's in my school? You'd think I was used to weird stuff happening, since I'm a neckomancer and can see in the future and all that, but to be honest, some things still surprises me.

Even though I can see the future, the future can always change. The dream showed me what could happen, not what will happen. I can change the future if I want to. But, do I want to?

The class was already full with students, and the only left seat was the one next to me. The teacher walked in with...you guest it-Derek right behind her. "Class, this is our new student, D...David?" She looked at Derek, and he mumbled "Derek," "Sorry, Derek Sauza. Well, mr. Sauza, you can take the seat next to ms. Saunders," she said and pointed at the seat next to me.

Oh, god, what do I do now? He sat down next to me and put out his stuff. "So, class, today, you are gonna split up in groups of two and two and make an assignment together, over the next few weeks. Since this is English Class, you are gonna write about..." An assignment? Already? Wait did she say two and two? "...I've already made the groups. Your partner will be the person sitting next to you," she ended.

I looked slowly at Derek. He didn't even notice me. His exotic green eyes just stared at a spot in front of him. Was he choked? Angry? I swallowed and cleard my throat. "So, partner," I said with a smrik on my face. He ignored that too. "Hey," I snapped my fingers next to his ear. An expression appered on his face. He turned to me and his green eyes shined with anger. "What?" he said quietly. He could as well had yelled at me. The irratation in his voice told me, he actually wantet to.

"Are we gonna work on the assignment or what?" He rolled his eyes. "Did you even hear what the assignment was?" "Of course I did. It was...ehhhmm..." I smiled guilty to him. A small smirk appered on his face, but was gone in the same second, replaced with an irretating twitch on the mouth. "We have to write a novel, at least 6000 words, the theme is 'beynd human'." I sighed.

"And what in the world does 'beyond human' mean" He shrugged. "I guess that is for us to find out," he just said. "So, what does beyond human mean?" I said out loud, while I typed it in a document on my laptop. I thought about it for a second. "God, maybe?" I looked questionally at him. "Sure," he said. I typed it down. "What more?"

"How about supernaturals?" he asked. "Exuse me, what?" I looked surprised at him. "You know, wizards, witches, necromancers, half-deamons, shamans...warewolfs, stuff like that," he said and looked at me.

I bit my lip. Supernaturals? Necromancers and warewolfs? Was he testing me or something? How could he know all the races? Whas he a supernatural too? Maybe that was, what was happening in my dream. Him on all four, naked. Allthough, what kind of supernatural did do that, I had no clue. Maybe warewolfs? Was he a warewolf?

That would explain why he was so rude. Well, not now, but before. Maybe it was beacuse I talked to Simon, and technically was Simon a part of his pack, his familiy, so when a stranger apperes, he would react like that. I know a lot about supernaturals. My aunt taught me everything. The different races, how they interact with eatch other, what are there abilities, e.t.c.

But if Derek was a warewolf, was Simon too? Was he even supernatural? If not, did they know Derek was? Did he know what he was? Of course it was only a maybe. I was not sure, he could just have a real passion for supernatural things or he liked to read.

I was probaly just paranoid now. But it's how you become, when you live in fear of being reveald by the normal peopole. And put in a metal hospital. Or killed. Well, maybe not, but we have to be careful. That is what my aunt always says. Be careful, Chloe, dont tell anyone about your powers, dont trust anyone...Dont trust anyone, the exact same thing Liz said to me. Was she warning me about Derek?

She did told me to stay away from D...D who? Could it be Derek? Was he some sort of supernatural-hunter? Was that why he knew so mutch? "Eh, are you okay?" Derek put a hand on my arm. I blinked and looked at him. "What? Oh, sorry, I just zoomed out for a second. Supernaturals you say? Sounds interesting. But, one question: Where do you have it from?"

I looked at his reaction. He looked away and scratched the back of his neck. "I...I like to read a lot, thats all," he said. Maybe I could be naive, but I wasnt stupid. He was hidding something from me, and I was going to find out what. "Really? Me too! But I'm actually more of a writer. I want to be director and script-writer when I grow up," I said and blinked innocent.

He shot me a glare. "That sounds interesting," he said, relieved by the topic change. "So, supernaturals it is?" he asked me. "Sure, it sounds like fun," I said faking a innocent smile. He shot me an other glare. Suddenly the bell rang, and our teacher announced that we had lunch now. Derek was quick to grab his stuff and litterly run out of the class, before I even put my laptop back in my bag.

When I had put all my stuff in my bag, I went off to the cafeteria. After a few meters Rae, my best friend, catched up to me. "Hey, Chole. I havent seen you all day. You wont BELIEVE what happend i chemestry! So I was lab partners with Tina and..." Rae continued talking while we were on our way to lunch. She had a nice figure, long, wavy, cobber curls and sligthly dark, flawless skin. Many guys at school have a crush on her, and many have asked her out. Girls were jalous at her. And thats why she hung around me. I wasn't jalous. Well maybe a little, who wouldn't be.

But I did'nt hate her like the other girls. They have even got so far as directly call her a slut. That one made her mad, really mad. It was in the girls washroom, and Rea began to yell about how they were just some stupid cows, and then suddenly the fire-alarm went off, and everyone hurried outside. That was weird. But rumor has it, that it was just some guy that had smoken in the boys washroom.

We had now arived at the cafeteria. Me and Rae walked in, and I saw Simon waving at me and calling me over to his table. "Who is that, and why is he waving at us?" Rae asked. "It's Simon, he is new. I kinda promised to sit with him at lunch, so..." I looked apologizing at her. She gave me a smirk.

"A guy, Chloe? Did'nt expect that one. And a cute one too," Rae sighted dramaticly. "No, no, I'm not ditching you for a guy I just met, I just promised him, and you know, it's his first day, he doesn't have any friends so I just thought I could..." "Keep him company?" she said as her smile grew wider.

"Yeah, and...Wait, no, oh no, no, no. I'm not...I don't like him. Sure he is goodlooking, but I don't...we've just met!" I began to blush. "Okay then," Rae said and blinked at me. "Go on, talk to him. And tell me all the juicy details," Rae pushed me forward, and I started walking away from her.

I looked back and saw her smiling at me and then walk over to the guys table. Even though many had a crush on her, as many wanted and was her friends. What can I say? She is an amazing person. I walked to Simon. Turns out he was not alone, as I have thought.

Derek sat on the opposite side of Simon, with his back to me, And next to Simon sat a dark-haired girl, who I guessed must be Tori, Simon and Dereks sister. "Hi Chloe!" Simon almost yelled. I giggled. "Go on, sit where ever you want," he said with a smirk. "Is this seat taken?" I asked Derek and pointed at the seat next to him. "No," he just grunted. I sat next to Derek and took out my lunch. Pizza-leftovers from yesterday. I just took a bite when Simon said:

"So, i heard you and Derek are partners in English," I nodded. "Yeah, we whrite about supernaturals." But beacuse my mouth was full of pizza it sounded more like:

"Yah, e eith afout surfenutuhals."

Simon giggled. "What?" I swallowed and smiled embaressed. I looked at Derek and saw a smirk on his mouth. Oh, so now he's laughing. "I said, that we are writing about supernaturals," I said and watched his reaction. Simon made big eyes and looked at Derek. "Really?" he asked, more Derek then me.

Derek looked like a dog, who's owner was mad at him for eating the newspaper, and now was telling him he was a bad boy. That thought made me smile, but I hided it under another pixxa-slize. But I wasnt that careful as I thought.

Tori looked up from her phone, that she was playing under the whole conversation and shot me a glare. "Whats so funny?" she asked cold. "N-n-nothing. I-I just thought of-f s-s-something," I said. "Oh, where are my manners," Simon said and turned away from Derek and towards us.

"Chloe this is my sister, Tori. Tori, this is Chloe." He looked at Tori with the same glare he just have given Derek. Only it did'nt work at her. "Anyways," Simon said and looked at me. "Since you are partners and have an assignment to do, maybe you would like to come over at our house after school? You know, so you and Derek can work on the assignment," he said with an innocent smile. Oh, buddy two can play that game.

After Simons reaction on the topic supernaturals, I figured that these guys were deffently hiding something. I know it may sound paranoid, but I had this weird feeling about them. Just like after talking to a ghost. The-creepy-gosebomps-and-the-ice-down-my-spine-feeling. I didnt trust these guys, they had secrets, and what ever it takes im gonna find out why. So therefor I said, with just as inoocent smile: "Sure, that would be lovely."
