Will I ever be able to be safe

Okay, so running into a Vampire as soon as I arrive was freaky. But he couldn't tell what I am, I hoped. Looking at my map I finally got to my class on the 3rd floor. Mr Black, who I assumed was the teacher sitting next to the window looked up at me as I knocked on the door.

"Can I help you young lady?" he asked with a pleasant manner.

"Err. I'm Gail de La Moore. I'm a new student here and Sheila the receptionist in the office asked me to give this to you," I said handing him the form which Sheila had given to me.

"So you're new here. How are you enjoying it so far?" he asked.

"Well apparently, I'm the latest gossip but I do like it here so far, even if class hasn't started yet." And as if by some miracle, the bell sounded.

"Well have a seat, and welcome to Myrana Falls," he said gesturing to the desks and seats. I went to the back of the class and took a seat next to the window. As I looked outside I was amazed. All the classes looked out onto a lovely field and just passed that was a running track and a couple of goal post facing a forest.

Now that was luck. I could now see why Dan had chosen this sight. If the Valeptors came, I could run and hide in the forest and then fly away from here. My thoughts were disrupted by a large group of people walking into the room yelling so much and laughing so much. A couple of them stopped and looked at me before taking their seat. There was another couple who walked in entwined in each others embrace.

Now I was getting kind of nervous. Their aura was so different. You could tell who was human and who was a creature. These two people had a golden glow around them. I knew then, that they were Angels. I didn't need to fear them because they were peaceful people, but it was still strange. I thought to myself "If I see wolves here, then I'll need to try and stay safe and make sure no one ever sees me" but the romantic couple came to a halt as they spotted me. They could probably tell I was different, but I had to remember that I was supposed to be new to this school. They both took a seat next to me and it made my insides jump slightly. I couldn't let them know what I was.

The class was full now. And surprise, surprise a wolf walked in. Okay so he wasn't an actual wolf but what else do you call someone who can transform into a wolf. To me, werewolf kind of sounded cruel. Like they were monsters, but they weren't.

Mr Black stood at the front of the class. He looked like he was going to make an announcement, when it hit me. He was.

"Class. Today, we have a new student joining us" he gestured a hand in my direction "this is Gail de La Moore. How about you tell us a little bit about yourself Gail," he said as he went behind his desk to have a seat. I slowly felt my cheeks heating up but stood up.

"Hi there. I'm Gail. I've come here from quite a distance, from a small village too far away,"

"BORING!" shouted a voice from the other side of the room.

"Keep quiet Tessa. You should be making Gail feel welcome and not make her feel uncomfortable. Please continue Gail," he said. I found I was staring at the girl in the back. She was one of the first people to walk into the class with the large group.

Her hair was a long black curtain and her outfit screamed designer in my face. I suddenly felt a bit self conscious standing here in my black diamante jeans and red blouse. The only expensive things I had on were my shoes and the charm bracelet that my mother gave me the night she and my father died.

I continued to tell them a bit about myself.

"I moved here with my only relative. The things I enjoy most are singing, playing the piano or the guitar and I enjoy creating things,"

"What kind of things?" the angel girl asked.

"Well it varies. I could create an outfit from scratch or a painting of any dreams I have. In fact, I was the one who decorated the house. I couldn't help it and I was allowed to do it," I said with a large grin on my face. I slowly sat back down and looked around; everyone was still looking at me.

Mr Black took down the names of everyone in the class. It turns out that the angel girl was called Rosie Thomas and her boyfriend was called Adrian Hallore. We still had ten minutes left, so I sat drawing in small black sketch book that Dan gave me. I was working on a vase of roses when I felt someone look over my shoulder. It was Rosie.

"Wow, you said you created things from dreams, but that is something else. It's so catching. I'm Rosie," she said stretching out her hand, which looked like she had just had a manicure done.

"Thanks a lot. I'm Gail," I replied shaking her hand. There was a small shock between us, but I wasn't too concerned about it. It was a sign that we would be peaceful towards each other. The bell rang and I slowly made my way to my first class wondering one thing. How many more Vamps, wolves and angels were here?

I looked down at my timetable and made my way to the classroom. As soon as I got there, I was yet again greeted by stares from others who were already there. Right away, I noticed two other auras which were that of Vampires. It was another couple sitting in the back of the room. I sat at the front of the room near the door this time, just in case. My timetable showed that I had P.E. next and then my English literature class before lunch and after that I had my art class and then musical class. I couldn't wait for the last two.

Well History was not what I expected. I had never like that class, but Mrs Price kept grabbing my attention with the amount of detail she gave about the wars of the world. It was almost as if she was really there. English literature was okay I would say. We were reading my favourite Brothers Grim version of Red Riding Hood. It was a good thing I read it, but the only reason the class was only okay, was because the teacher with the twisty moustache and really strong smelling cologne asked me to stand up and introduce myself. He pulled me up to the front of the class and I gave everyone the same story I gave everyone this morning.

The bell then rang for lunch and I headed out to the cafeteria. A soft hand grabbed onto my shoulder and spun me around. It was Rosie.

"How about having lunch with me, Adrian and the gang. Its tough being new and we want to make you feel welcome," she asked with pleading eyes. It would be nice to at least make some effort to blend in.

"I'd love too," I said. She beamed with joy and slowly we made our way to the cafeteria. In front of us, I spotted the boy with the brown ruffled hair. He was heading into the cafeteria as well. I kept thinking to myself before I walked in "Will this be safe or will I ever be safe?"
