Lena walked slowly through the halls of Spenser Academy. She was lost, but she didn't panic. She was already late to class anyway. Besides she had Physics, even if she was in class she wouldn't have clue what was going on.
She turned a corner and literally ran into someone. Her bag and book fell but she stayed standing.
"Damn it!" She cursed picking up her stuff.
"Chill, it was my fault." The person said helping her pick up her stuff. Lena looked up recognizing the voice.
"Ah, it's you Reid." She said smiling now. She hadn't actually saw him since Friday night early Saturday morning. Which ended in the three of them, Tyler, Reid, and herself sneaking into the dorms, but it was kind of hard when two of them were drunk off their asses laughing at the stupidest things. After all everything's funny at three AM.
Reid gave her his signature smirk. "Can't get enough of me, huh?" He asked while glancing at the cover of a book. "The Book?" He questioned reading the title out loud, it had a picture of a pentagram on it. Lena took the book and shoved it into her bag.
"It's really old, I came across it back home. It's about the supernatural, like magic…I guess the creators weren't very creative when it came to the title." She said as they both stood up and began to walk down the hall.
"Supernatural? You don't seem like the person to be into that type of stuff." Reid said readjusting his gloves.
"Actually I am. I have been most of my life. I've always felt cursed." Reid didn't say anything, he understood what she meant…But she had no clue what being cursed was really liked. He was brought out of his thoughts by her small laugh.
"What's so funny?" He asked her. She just shrugged.
"You probably think I'm some sort of attention seeking freak." He stopped walking to look at her fully.
"Around here, that's the normal. What class are you looking for? I doubt you were trying to be late for your first day of class." He said changing the subject.
"I have Physics."
"Why the hell are you taking a class like that?" Reid asked as he dragged her down the hall in the opposite direction.
"Parental control. Why aren't you in class?" She asked. Reid looked back at her.
"Personal holiday." Lena couldn't help but laugh, causing the blond to smirk. They slowed down in front of a classroom. "Here's your class. The teacher's a douche so he might give you a hard time."
"Thanks for the tip. I'm sure I can handle it though." She said as Reid began to back up further down the hall, she figured that was the direction of his class. "Stay out of trouble." She said. Reid smirked and turned around.
"I'm an angel." He called over his shoulder. Lena blinked once before shaking her head smiling. She watched him turn the corner before she turned to the door in front of her and was greeted with many stares and a lecture about punctuality. "Oh joy."
Lena walked out of the classroom wanted to blow something up, and if she didn't have a class next she would have disappeared to do just that.
"What a douche!" She growled.
"I told you he was." Lena jump turning around to face the source of the voice. She placed her hand over her heart and let out the breathe she didn't know she was holding.
"Damn it, Garwin. Was that necessary?" She asked dropping her hand.
"Not entirely." He said smirking. "How bad was it?"
"He kept calling on me. 'Ms. Shaw please tell us the velocity of this fifteen kilogram ball as it is dropped from a fifty foot building.'" Lena said in a mocking tone. "I'd like to know his velocity as he drops from a fifty foot building." Reid laughed as they walked down the hall.
"What's your next class?" He asked taking her schedule.
"What's the point in asking if you're just going to take it before I answer?" She asked.
"We're in the same class. Hope you'll enjoy American Lit." He said handing back her schedule and entering a classroom on his left. Lena couldn't help but feel like he was telling some kind of inside joke. Ignoring it she followed in after him.
They had been in class for thirty minutes and Lena was extremely bored. She might not had been so bored if she was sitting with Reid and Tyler, but their teacher sat her in the row just behind Pogue and Caleb. At least she had someone she could talk to…But those two were just as bored as she was. She was sure that Pogue had gone to sleep and that Caleb was only pretending to take notes.
She glanced up at the clock and felt like that minute hand was never going to move. She deemed it there…That clocks were nothing more than torture devices when put into classrooms. Lena shifted her gaze back to the bored and tried to follow, but suddenly she felt something, rather a strange feeling that made her bring her head up off the desk, a feeling she only got from when she was around other people like her…It was power.
Lena watched Pogue sit up and Caleb sat up straighter and clenched his fist. It was then that the teacher's table fell to pieces, and the shelves collapse spilling books to the floor.. Caleb and Pogue both quickly looked up at where Reid and Tyler sat. The two of them laughing along with the rest of the class. Lena looked back as well to study the two boys. She turned around and studied the two in front of her. Her mouth dropped slightly as realization hit her. "What the hell?!"
Class ended and Lena left the class and headed off to her room when she bumped into Kate and Sarah.
"Hey Lena, want to have lunch with us?" Sarah asked. Lena ran a hand through her hair.
"Um…Actually I'll just catch you guys later. There's something I need to check out."
"Woah, girl. Chill there's no rush. What happened in there?" Kate asked. Lena looked at her.
"Crappy desk and shelves…"She said quickly. "I'm sorry, but I really need to go. I promise I'll catch up to you later." With that Lena ran past them and out the door towards the dorms.
"We'll be in the court yard!" Lena heard Sarah yell after her.
Upon entering her room she pulled a book out of her bag and closed the door making sure it was locked. She set the book on her bed and watched as it flip to a random page. She picked up the book and read the heading. Notable Covens: Sons of Ipswich. Lena sat on her bed and read half of the page. She snapped the book shut and watched as it set itself on one of the shelves.
"Hot damn." She said. What Kate had told her at Nicky's it didn't exactly sink in not even after knowing their last names, Lena was more interested in just having a good time if anything. She berated herself for not even recognizing their title as the Sons of Ipswich, or paying attention to the shocking slash burning touch she got from Reid. "Hot, hot damn." She repeated falling back onto her bed. "What have I gotten myself into?"
She sat up suddenly bringing a finger to her chin, "As long as I stay quiet and don't do anything stupid, to let them know I'm different…Everything will be just fine." She reassured herself. "No problem. Just go on being normal…Whatever the hell that is." Heaving a sigh Lena fell back onto her bed again.
"Hey, you didn't show up." Lena looked up from her book as Sarah sat beside her in the last class of the day; math.
"Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I got distracted and had a lot on my mind." She answered.
"Ah, that's cool. Is everything alright?" Sarah asked her. "No."
"Everything's fine." The sound of the chair next to her being moved and the blond that slid into it caught her attention. "I'm getting the feeling you're following me around." She said smiling at him. Reid looked at her, almost angrily.
"Actually it would be the other way around." His tone was hard, unlike what she was used to hearing from him. That confident, flirtatious one. Lena let her smile drop and turned away from him.
"Don't mind him…He and Caleb got into a fight just before lunch." Sarah whispered to her.
"About what?" Lena asked, though she had a good idea what it was though. While in her room she finished reading the page on the Sons of Ipswich and their powers. Every coven was different, and their coven's powers were fully receive when they turned eighteen. On top of that, the power was addictive and would eventually be the end of you, where with her she would never have to worry about that.
"They fight all the time, they'll get over it eventually though. They're so much like real brothers in that way it's ridiculous." Sarah answered.
"Boys will be boys, huh?" Lena asked feigning naivety. Sarah nodded and turned back toward the front as the teacher began to teach the class.
As class was let out, Reid had been the first one to leave the room. Lena looked at Sarah.
"No idea." She answered as they headed out the classroom. "So you up for Nicky's tonight?" Sarah asked her on their way to the dorms.
"On a school night?"
"Yeah, of course we don't stay out too late, but it's better than staying here." Sarah said. Lena thought about it, if there was a good time to listen to her conscious it would be now, but she shrugged and nodded, ignoring the nagging at the back of her mind.
"Sure, we'll have loads of fun."
I hope you liked it. ^^ Please Review. They make me happy. =)
