"Where the hell is 346?..." she kept murmuring to herself walking along the empty halls of lockers, that weren't hers', in anxiety. She just wanted to find the stupid thing so she could make it to class while there was still time to actually make it.

"Excuse me?..." she heard from behind her and turned around in a start Damn! I thought I was alone in the hallway. Chloe looked behind her and saw one of the most attractive and muscular teenagers she had ever seen in her life.

"Yes?..." she asked, not sure why this attractive boy was talking to her.

"I overheard you were looking for locker 346?... I happen to know that the lockers go up in number left to right so… your locker should be in the other direction and two halls to the right" he smiled at her with a heart melting smile. Chloe smiled back and blushed

"Um… thanks, my name's Chloe, I'm new here" she stuck her hand out like an awkward potato. Omg Chloe! Stop talking! Why don't you just tell him you're a virgin and willing to hand that over to his Adonis-like body! He smiled and shook her hand

"Aiden… me and my twin brother are new as well" Holy mother of god there are two of them! she nodded and looked down at her shoes

"Well, thank you for pointing me in the right direction…" she looked back up at him "I guess I owe you one." She gave him a friendly smile

"I might have to take you up on that actually…" he said with an alluring smile and stepping closer. Normally Chloe would've flirted up a storm and blushed like an idiot, but his smile was not comforting and flirty like he was intending… it was almost menacing. She took a step back, but kept the smile on her face.

"And what would that be?" she asked honestly wanting to help…mainly so I didn't have to owe him something and didn't have to talk to him again. SURE, he was hot and perfectly nice but he gave off bad vibes.

"Could you point me in the direction of the Main office?" he asked looking a little sheepish. Chloe chuckled at him and looked down at her feet again.

"I just came from there so I actually know where that is…" she said smiling to herself. She looked up at him finally and he was still gazing at her with that thin veil of friendliness that was masking his ominous undertone. She looked down the hallway and pointed in the general direction

"Just head down that way and it'll be on your right" She quickly gave directions and looked back at his unwavering gaze still directed on her. She was kind of lost in his eyes for a moment when she awkwardly nodded and looked away from him.

"Well I do have to get to get to class so… I hope you have a good first day, and good luck; the front desk lady is kind of 'absent' up there" She mentioned while motioning to her head chuckling. Aiden nodded with a smile and that intense gaze of his

"Thanks Chloe… and I wish you luck as well" he smiled mischievously. She smiled and then began walking away. She felt his eyes boring into her back so she turned around while heading in the correct direction towards her locker this time. She saw him still standing in place staring after her, this is creeping me out but I'll send him a nod and be on my way, She then turned and faced forward and continued on to find her locker with a quickened pace. She finally found it and quickly threw her stuff into the locker and placed the dry-erase board on the door before slamming it shut and half walking half jogging to her first class. She glanced at her schedule to check the room number

"English with Ms. Blake, room 210" She quickly found the room and went to the door to catch the end of her inaugural speech to the class. She turned to look at Chloe as she smiled shyly back at her

"Hi… I'm Chloe Turner, I'm a new student?" She handed the teacher her hall pass, whom looked down at it briefly before smiling back up at her.

"Well, welcome to Beacon Hills High Ms. Turner… the seating chart is alphabetical so you will be seated behind…" she walked behind her desk to check the seating chart. I felt the entire room's eyes on me and I refused to look back at them. "- a Mr. Stilinski?" she looked up at the class. Chloe smiled and turned around to see Stiles smiling at her. She briskly walked over towards his desk near the windows, taking the empty seat behind him.

"Nice to see a friendly face this morning" Chloe whispered into Stiles' ear from behind him. Stiles raised his shoulder in a twitching fashion, her breath on his ear tickled. She giggled again as she leaned back in her seat and pulled out her things for class. Stiles turned around briefly and shot her a smile

"Glad I could be of some service then" he shot at her with a playful eyebrow raise. She snorted back a laugh at his face as he turned back around to face the front of the class. She could definitely get used to this every day, Stiles signature Old Spice and pine wood scent wafting over to her occasionally.

She shook her head with a smile and tried to focus on Ms. Blake's Syllabus lecture when she heard mutterings in front of her. Stiles was talking to Lydia about something, she hadn't caught their conversation entirely, they were probably discussing something that happened to them when they had hung out.

Suddenly, a loud 'bang' came from the window. Chloe looked over and saw there was a smudge of blood on the window… like, what the fuck? Chloe turned around to See Lydia sitting to her left…and went to ask what happened when she looked out the window. There was a large flock of birds flying towards the school, well that's new She thought to herself, watching the aerial anomaly. Ms. Blake walked over to the window curiously, wondering what was keeping the class's attention from her lesson.

All of a sudden, one by one more and more of the ominous black birds began running into the windows and dying, leaving red smudges. She saw in her peripheral vision as Stiles jumped at every single loud bang against the glass. Then it happened… One of the black crows broke through the glass. Chloe jumped back in surprise and let out a gasp. Then everything turned on its axis as almost the entire flock of birds began to break through the glass. Chloe was stunned until Ms. Blake broke her from her stupor

"Get Down! Everyone Get Down!" she yelled out over the class as the birds began to attack the students.

Chloe got out of her seat to get down when she felt her braid get tugged. She went to reach up to regain ownership of whoever was messing with her at a very inopportune time when she realized there was a bird clawing at her hair and nipping at her fingers. She let out a yelp and batted at it to get away. It kept attacking her hair biting at her hands that tried to shew it away. Shit that hurts! Chloe let out a few more yelps when she tripped over a fellow student behind her and lost her footing. As she landed on her ass the Bird began to come at her face. Chloe put up her already pecked at hands and forearms and began screaming with the rest of the class. Panic taking over her she kept screaming, squeezed her eyes shut, and continued batting at the evil black bird attacking her, kicking her feet out.

The bird finally seemed to disappear and leave her alone but she kept batting and kicking backwards to get away until she felt a firm body pull her against it and cover her from the assaulting crows. She didn't know who it was but she refused to open her eyes as she covered her face and gripped the shirt that belonged to the body protecting her. She kept letting out whimpers as she waited for what felt like an eternity for the classroom to die down.

When silence finally seemed to grace her ears she opened her eyes and pulled her hand away from her face to look up at the body that had been protecting her… it was the boy who sat behind her.

"Thank you…" she told him in a soft voice.

"yeah, I'm Jarod by the way" he said sounding just as shocked and scared as she did. They held their eye contact and they both seemed to ask if each other were ok with their gaze. Chloe gave him a once over checking if he had any scratches or wounds. She then looked back at his eyes and found them also giving her a once over, they came to rest on her hands as he held them up to look at them. They weren't that bad, not as bad as the other students surrounding them on the ground. He caught her gaze and looked at her with pity. Usually, she would've rolled her eyes at him but she found his gaze oddly comforting for just meeting the kid. She hadn't realized she was breathing heavy until then and tried calming herself down as he gave her a comforting pat on the shoulder.

When she had calmed down enough she pulled away and he helped her stand up to look around at the left over chaos. Other students began to stand up as well to look around the battle zone that was once a classroom with a glazed-over expression. Stiles and Lydia looked at her from across the room and he quickly walked over.

"You ok?" Stiles asked. She nodded in return "…y-yeah, just a little shaken up".

He half smiled at her in understanding and nodded to Jarod, then slowly released her from his grip to go and check on Ms. Blake. Chloe took a calming breath and brushed hair out of her face as she looked around at the disaster surrounding her. She began to have flashbacks to the car crash and the dark ominous figure in the road and in her nightmares. She tried to take another calming breath but it came out shaky. She noticed that Students had gathered outside the room trying to look in to see what had gone down during first period.

"You okay? I saw that bird in your hair…" she heard a voice ask from her right. She turned her head and saw Allison trying to give her a sincere smile but it couldn't reach her eyes, she was just as shaken.

"Yeah… I'm ok, the bird only nipped me a little" she tried to jest as she held up her hand that had a few cuts with now drying blood. Allison gave her a worried/pitiful look.

"Well I'm glad Jarod was there, but you should still probably get that looked at" she said and Chloe looked down at her own hands, the car crash flashing across her memory again. This time a soft chuckle escaped her lips and Allison hesitantly put her hand on her shoulder

"Chloe?..." she asked with a worried expression on her face. Chloe looked at her with a nervous smile

"I just… I just have really great luck with 'firsts' in Beacon Hills…" Allison raised an eyebrow at her in concerned confusion for her. Chloe clarified

"First Day in Beacon Hills I get in a car accident, first day of school crows attack my first period class" tears stung her eyes but she held them back as she broke eye contact with Allison and looked down at her feet. Allison rubbed her shoulder reassuringly.

"I don't know if it helps at all, but stranger things have happened in Beacon Hills, this place is no stranger to the weird…" Allison finished. Chloe looked up at her and offered a weak smile, the door to the room jerked open and caused both girls and the rest of the student occupants to jump. The paramedics entered the room and started assessing the damage and the students that were injured. Allison walked her over to one of the paramedics who looked at her hands as the rest of the class was corralled out of the room.

She was one of the last ones with Ms. Blake escorted out of the room. They were ushered out of the room and into the hallway that was filled with curious students and teachers all watching them. Chloe imagined that they looked like a bunch of battle victims, all disheveled and cut up.

"Chloe?" she heard from someone in the crowd. She looked up at the sound of her name and then glanced across the unfamiliar faces until she landed on one that was vaguely familiar.

"Aiden?" she asked, bewildered he was there and that he remembered her.

"What happened? Are you ok?" he asked, but instead of sincerity which she heard in his voice his eyes held a level of curiosity mixed with the ever present danger she had sensed from him earlier. Before she could answer him, Ms. Blake placed a hand on her shoulder and ushered her forward.

"Why don't we make sure you're okay first, then you can go to your friends" she whispered with a slight shake in her voice as well. She looked back at Ms. Blake and nodded then asked

"Are you ok Ms. Blake?"

Ms. Blake looked down at her in shock, probably not expecting such a question from one of her students who were all in shock and worried about themselves. Ms. Blake opened her mouth to answer a few times before she finally did

"…I will be." Chloe understood and offered a small smile as she felt tears prick her eyes again. She wrapped an arm around Ms. Blake's torso as her teacher wrapped an arm around her shoulders. They walked to the front of the school into the main office to keep prying eyes away. Chloe watched as the ambulances and cop cars that had just arrived. She saw Stiles being questioned and intensely 'mothered' by his father, Sheriff Stilinski. She was taken from Ms. Blake by a paramedic to the first aid area they had set up that was also treating another student. She threw her teacher one last glance of reassurance before walking away with the medical professional.
