Henry P.O.V

Marianna was following me far behind me, every time I looked back I saw her smiling at me, her eyes color seems to change every time I look at her.

She has dark long hair, olive skin and a perfect warm smile that made me smile every time I see it.

She is tall not as tall as I am but her body was perfect. She was wearing short jeans and her Wonderland hoodie (she looked different from other girls).

I like how she doesn't care about her look and how confident she is.

We kept walking until we entered the biology classroom; she looked at me and smiled and said "thanks for leading me Henry; I will see you at lunch"

I forced a smile and nodded.

Olivia Cross was waving to get her attention; Marianna walked forward to her and didn't look back.

I sighed sadly and sat next to my only best friend who knew me better than anyone else.

Mark Harries was not my best friend (in this world); he is a short guy with chocolate milk color skin, dark brown eyes, short curly black hair, and he loves to wear his sport suit (he thinks he look hot wearing it).

He always flirt with ladies but he end up getting ignored.

"Who's this beautiful girl you was walking with?" he smirked

I rolled my eyes and ignored him. Such a good friendship right?

The principal entered the room and a woman was behind him.

She was wearing a short black dress that has a pattern of red and white hearts.

Her body was like a model body, perfect and thin, she has dark long hair, and whit very white skin color, her eyes color were brown.

She looked so familiar but I don't know where I saw her before.

"Good morning students." The principal said cheerfully, some of us replied and others ignored him.

"This is your new biology teacher, Mrs. March" The principal announced.

She waved at us with a cold smile on her face, and then it came to my mind this woman is...

"The queen!" Mark whispered.

Her face expressions seemed to say, OFF WITH THEIR HEADS.

"What the heck is she doing here?" I whispered to Mark.

He shook his head and said, "I have no idea but I bet our ex biology teacher lost her head"

I swallowed hard and looked back at Marianna, she looked normal not afraid or worried like us.

The principal went outside the classroom and left us alone with the Queen of Hearts.

She was staring at the students like she was looking for someone.

When she spotted Marianna she smiled coldly.

"You are new here aren't you?" she asked Marianna.

Marianna nodded.

"Would you please introduce yourself?"

Marianna stood and said "Hello everyone I'm Marianna Kingsleigh" she kept introducing herself but I didn't care about it.

I looked at Mark and he looked like he saw a ghost

"This girl is related to Alice Kingsleigh?" Mark mumbled.

The Queen of Hearts looked at Mark and I, and nodded answering his question (I don't know how she heard him. I barely heard him.)

It was lunchtime I walked to the cafeteria and saw Mark sitting next to a girl flirting.

I got a slice of pizza and an apple. I walked to Mark's table and stood behind him, he didn't notice I was standing behind him but the girl did she was so nervous when she saw me, she stood up and took her lunch and walked away from Mark.

"Wait where are you going?" He yelled but she kept walking away.

He looked at me and rolled his eyes and said "No wonder she left me"

I sat down next to him and smirked.

"You know I will still pretend to be your friend in this world"

"Yeah" he grumbled

We ate our food in silence but I couldn't stop thinking of Marianna being related to Alice.

I was lost in my thoughts until I realized something or someone was blocking the sun, I looked behind and for a moment, I thought the Queen of Hearts and two of her card soldiers were standing behind Mark and me.

I closed my eyes and shook my head, when I looked again it was only Mrs. March standing behind us.

"Mark and Henry" she said my name in disgust.

"What do you want?" I grumbled

I saw Marianna staring at me and mouthing what did you do?

She seemed so worried that I'm talking to Mrs. March like this.

We don't get along at all. I hate her and she hate me back.

"I'd like to talk to both of you outside" she said coldly.

We stood up and followed her outside; everyone was looking at us and gossiping.

We kept following her until we were far away from the cafeteria.

She looked at us and said angrily, "you two must go back to Wonderland tonight" she said

"and you" she pointed at me "Will get Marianna there" she crossed her arms and glared at me.

"How can I get her there?! She will think I'm crazy if I told her about Wonderland."

"That's not my problem, figure something out"

I wanted to punch her but she was right.

The Founder finally appeared and we can't let her stay here.

I couldn't say anything so I nodded.

"Do you know that I'm wasting my time here talking to you two, I'd rather be in my castle planning the ball"

"Then why didn't you sent one of your cards soldiers?" Mark asked.

"Because they're bunch of idiots and-"

"Well it was nice talking to you Queen" I cut her off which made her angry.

"Listen Henry-"

The bell rang before she could continue.

"C'mon Mark we should go" I grabbed his hand and pulled him away.

On our way to the class, Mark told me that he would go to Wonderland on his own at seven o'clock. We decided that we should meet at the White Castle.

Nightfall and everyone went to have dinner except for me, it was eight o'clock I went to check Mark's room but he wasn't there.

I was walking outside the building thinking about the things that happened today, also I was hoping to see my biology teacher-The Queen of Hearts but a part of me doubt it.

"She's in her castle getting ready for the ball," I whispered to myself.

I spotted Marianna sitting on a bench, she was reading a book. I was able to read the book name... Paper Towns?

She saw me staring at her, and smiled at me. Her smile was so warm I couldn't help not smiling back.

She ran to me and hugged me, my face turned so red like a tomato.

How can she be kind to me? I thought,

She backed away and let a little laugh. I was so confused, should I laugh back or should I pretend that nothing happened?

"Today went very well, I met new friends...and teachers," she was scratching her neck while she was talking to me.

"Great" I forced myself to smile but it was hard.

I remembered what The Queen of Hearts said. You two must go back to Wonderland tonight, and you will get Marianna there.

"Marianna" my voice was shaky the words barely came out but I managed to talk.

"What's it Henry?" She looked so worried but trying to stay calm.

"I want to show you something," I said nervously.

"Alright show me." She smiled and followed me to the woods.

We were walking alone, just me and her away from the school and away from everyone.

"Where are you taking me?" She asked.

I scratched my neck and asked her nervously "If I told you that I'm taking you to Underland what would you think?"

"Underland?"

"I mean Wonderland," I said

"You are reminding me of my father," she said miserably.

"What happened to your father?" I asked her, she looked so angry when I asked her about her father.

"Why should I tell you" her voice tone was full of anger but she tried to control it.

"I hate talking about him," she explained.

I stopped talking to her for a couple of minutes so she can calm down.

Five or six minutes pass and then I broke the silence "Why don't I tell you about my parents"

She looked at me, raised her eyebrows, and said "O...okay"

"Well my father name is Adam Wonder; he was married to a woman called Nicola. They adopted me," I said.

Her face expressions were normal, but her eyes didn't met mine.

I continued by "They raised me good...well not very good, they ran into a car accident and died" I looked at her and she was sad and in shock.

"I'm...so-"

I cut her off and said "I did mistakes in my life and then I got caught... ever since I have been cursed, living in a world called... Wonderland"

She sighed sadly and said, "You really do remind me of my father"

"Marianna, what happened to your father?" I asked her again but this time she looked sad and upset.

"My father always used to tell me that he's from Wonderland, I always took it as a joke.

One night he came to my room and woke me up I think it was 2 o'clock in the morning, his eyes were teary and there was a broken smile on his face, he said 'it's time for me to go'.

I was seven years old and I didn't understand what he was talking about." Her voice was shaky and weak but she managed to continue.

"He walked away from my bed holding a picture of a woman on his right hand, before he could walk outside the house I ran to him and hugged him, he looked at me and smiled, his eyes were teary and his nose was so red.

'Daddy where are you going?' I asked him, his smile faded when I asked him but he said 'nowhere and everywhere sweetie' I was so confused I didn't understand what he was saying so I asked him 'What do you mean? Please don't leave me' I was so afraid that I would lose my father, the only person I care about, he shook his head and said 'You will find me one day, I will be waiting for you, Wonderland is where I supposed to be' he started walking away from me and got outside the house.

Before he could close the door, he said 'See you at Wonderland' and closed the door.

I was standing near the door, tears were falling down." She looked confused, mad, and sad.

I didn't want to ask her any other questions because I'm afraid she might start crying.

I want to know more about her father; maybe I know him, so I chose a risky suggestion and asked her "What is your father name?"

There was two things she might do after I asked, cry or punch me, but she did nothing she simply said "William Kingsleigh"

I knew who he is but my mind couldn't believe it, The Chance is her father!

"Every time I remember that this is the last thing he said to me I get SO MAD, how the HELL can I find him in Wonderland," she complained.

"You are lucky your father didn't-"

I cut her off before she could keep complaining and said, "We are here"

"What do you mean? We are nowhere," she grumbled

I smirked and said "And everywhere"

Then everything turned black, we didn't black out but Marianna was screaming and the earth was swallowing, it was taking us to Underland or should I say Wonderland.
