Chapter 7

I returned five days later, meaning I had missed two days of school. I walked onto the bus, taking my usual seat next Kellan in the far back.

"Did you enjoy your stay in Britain?" Kellan asked in an obviously fake British accent.

"It was okay. I had to stay with Marta, though," I complained.

"The weird one?" he asked.

I nodded as the bus screeched to a halt. A girl got on the bus. Her hair was only a few shades lighter than black and her long bangs covered exactly half of her right eye. Her eyes turned anywhere from caramel to black in the correct light. Her outfit consisted of tight light-washed jeans, Ugg boots that were mostly leather and a form-fitting top with the phrase "Viva la Coldplay" printed onto it. A white fleece was tied around her waste, most likely to shield her bare arms from the biting winter cold. She sat beside one if her friends, a green-eyed girl with chin-length brown hair of a slightly lighter shade. The two of them curled up on the seat around a comic book that was bound backwards.

"Speaking of weird, it's Tori and Sabra," Kellan mocked.

Is this the same Kellan you remember? He seems like a jerk. Light's voice came through my mind.

I almost jumped a little. The last five days he'd been so quiet I had almost forgotten he was there, but Kira still terrorized my nights.

Yeah, he's one of those guys that's mean to social rejects, but nice to his friends.

Tori, the darker-haired one, looked at the two of us with angry eyes and looked back.

I shoved him a little. "Dude!"

I looked closely at the manga she was reading. The letters of the title were sideways, so I wasn't able to read the title. "D-H NO-E" or something along those lines.

I apologize for the shortness of this chapter, but we have two new characters! Yay~! For what it's worth: Tori is me and Sabra is Honi-chan. Yes, I'm egotistical enough to put a self-insert into yet another one of my fics. Don't judge.
