Hello fantabulous fans! Feel free to hate on me because I take forever to update I'm relay sorry about that but 3 major works and the HSC is so not easy. But I'm practically done till late October so I should have more time to write ( wooo! Parties with dancing gummibears!) – don't ask-
Any who without further ado here's the new chapter!
Coraline
Kill of the night
by Gin Wigmore (vampire academy soundtrack)
So basically this town gets weirder every day.
The worst part of the rain had held off for the rest of the week.
School had been pretty good now I had some familiar friends and the endless questions about Australia had started to run out though jess would still ask about the boys there and every time Mikes face would fall a little bit.
I hadn't seen Leo for the rest of the week and for that I was actually pretty thankful.
It was Friday if I could make it through today I will have proved to myself that I can survive being a mermaid in Forks.
I jumped out of bed and immediately turned on my small heater because my room was freezing.
Stumbling to my draws with my arms wrapped around me I was in search of some warm clothes for school
I pulled out a pair of grey jeans and my black knitted jumper as well as my turquoise scarf.
I went into the bathroom to take a quick bath because I still had time before Jacob would come to pick me up.
Ten seconds later I was in the bath and had my orange scales and tail.
Pretty sure I was in that bath for about half an hour, I didn't plan to stay that long but I was kind of dreading having to pull myself out of the bath tub and end up on the super cold tiles, I found myself wishing I had Rikki's power.
Of course I could have just pulled all the water out of the tub and gotten out when I changed back but then I would have to face the cold air both options seemed as bad as each other.
"Ali you here?" Jacobs's voice carried up the stairs
"Yeah hold on!" I called back
OH HELL! Giving no second thought I wretched myself out of the bath tub and flopped onto the shockingly cold tiles.
"What was that? Are you okay?" Jacob fired my two most hated and terrifying words I had grown to fear ever since I became a mermaid.
"Yeah stay down there though! I'll be down in a minute!" I called back but couldn't help but notice the panic in my voice and mentally scolded myself for letting it show
Relief flooded me when I saw the hair drier sitting on the bathroom counter like it was a glowing beacon of hope.
I snatched it from the counter and flicked it on praying it was plugged in; when it roared to life I let out a sigh of relief.
My eyes flickered over to the door; it was definitely locked because with this blaring I won't be able to hear if Jacob were to come upstairs.
I know I could have just pulled of the water but I was in no state to try it and if it took even longer than the other night, and if Jacob barged in I would be naked on the floor with a huge ball of water floating in the air.
Somehow finding me just naked without the ball of water seemed like a better option.
About a minute later I felt myself become just about completely dry.
I ran the hair dryer over my tail one last time and then felt the tingling sensation rush through my body then transformed back to myself.
I flung the hair dryer aside after turning it off and jumped up of the tiles because against my naked skin it was damn cold.
Quick as hell I changed to my clothes and then put on a pair of red socks and pulled on my pair of black combat boots detailed with small silver studs up the side.
I added a small amount of makeup to my face then a thin layer of lip-gloss.
Grabbing my bag from the end of my bed I quickly made it out of my room and down stairs
"Hey Jacob" I said, he was standing at the kitchen bench with two coffee's in his hand and a brown paper bag.
"Hi, I brought coffee" he smiled holding up the cups.
"Jake we have coffee here you know" I laughed walking towards him.
I took one of the coffees and took a small sip.
It was nice and hot as it gushed down my throat.
"Yeah I know but I just felt like it" he smiled taking a seat at the table and I did the same.
We made casual chit chat while we sipped our coffee.
I liked Jacob he was nice and honest; he was like a big brother kind of friend.
"We should get you to school before your late" he stood up from the seat and headed for the front door.
I grabbed my bag and followed him out to his car.
"Thanks for the ride I'll see you after school" I said sliding out the car
"Yeah see you then" Jake replied, I shut the door and walked towards Mike and Jess that were standing next to Tyler's car.
"Hey Ali!" Mike greeted me
"Hey guys" I smiled
We walked into school as the bell rang and head of to our first class, great English I really hoped that crazy ass Leo guy was not here today. I pushed open the door to the English room and looked up to find Leo sitting in the seat that he apparently had claimed as his.
A blonde cheerleader I didn't know sat down in the seat across from him her nose buried into her I phone frantically texting someone. When a nerdy looking girl tripped over her bag the cheerleader shrieked and complained about her Ipad inside the bag and if it was damaged the nerdy girl would pay for it and somehow I don't think she meant paying for the money to fix it. The cheerleader pulled a bottle of water from her bag and placed it on the corner of her desk closest to Leo. Deciding to have some fun with this I walked forward he was smirking up at me as I walked down the aisle of tables.
I took the seat one back from him because this moment was about to become I million times better all I had to do was wait for the exact moment now.
Taking my time I pulled out my books and laid them on the desk, the teacher came in and began writing on the board and all the class was inside now.
Leo was writing in his book but the cheerleader was still texting so I thought now was the best moment when everyone was distracted. Cautiously I flicked my wrist in the direction of the water bottle. Its contents exploded all over the cheerleader and Leo. Leo jumped to his feet fuming with rage and the cheerleader screamed as her mascara began to streak down her cheeks and her phone saturated in water.
The class erupted in laughter at the two of them though some stayed silent and were just gapping at the two.
I looked over to find the nerdy girl giggling with one hand pressed to her mouth to stifle the laughs.
"What the hell?!" Leo snapped looking at the cheerleader.
"You think I did this, I'm the one with a saturated phone!" she shrieked
I burst out laughing at the two of them; Leo turned and laid his furious gaze on me.
"You did this?" he growled
"Nope but I wish I had" I lied between bursts of laughter
He slammed his fists down on my table making me jump out of my chair because water had dripped onto my desk.
"You better watch yourself" he snarled pointing at me.
He grabbed his bag and stormed from the room.
Everyone in the room sat opened mouth even the teacher.
The cheerleader grabbed her purse and twitched out of the room her face a black streaky mess.
"Well um students let's try and get on with the lesson, um I have nothing to wipe your desk down with so just take that one up the back Aleeya" the teacher spoke pointing to a table up the back.
The rest of the lesson went pretty normal neither of them came back which I was thankful for.
Leo hadn't scared me, he had no idea I was a mermaid with super powers and after standing up to Denman and charlotte and Zane when he and Rikki would fight not a lot could rattle me and after being to a number of different countries and starting at many different school it took a lot to get to me.
By the time last period rolled around I was so happy. Creative writing was one of my all-time favourite classes they only offered it for one term at my school in Australia and it was an after school class so I rarely went then decided to drop the subject because as much as I loved writing story's that where always inspired by mermaids and oceans I would have rather been out there living the adventures.
The bell rang and we all poured out of the classroom and into the halls.
Deciding I needed some books from my locker before I went to the car park to find Jake I set off towards the other end of the school where my locker was. A lot of the hallways were quiet and empty because it was Friday. I unlocked my locker and pulled open the door. Books spilled out and crashed to the floor around my feet. I let out a groan and dropped down to my knee to pick up the books.
I piled them up in my hands and started shoving them back into my locker and the ones I needed into my bag. Something cold touched the top of my shoulder. I spun expecting it to be cold water but came face to face with Leo.
He held out a book that I must have missed. I snatched the book out of his hands and shoved it into my bag. We started at each other neither of us saying anything. I'd had enough of this weird stare off so I slammed my locker shut and slipped past him and continued down the hallway. Before I turned the corner I glanced back and he was looking straight at me a small smirk on his lips.
I practically ran to the car park eager to get out of the school and far away from Leo.
I dived into the car and dumped my bag on the floor.
"Hey how was your day?" Jake asked pulling away from the foot path at the main entrance of the school.
"It was okay" I answered smiling at Jake
Suddenly Jake slammed on the brakes; I lurched forward in my seat then slammed backwards into the seat. "What the hell?" Jacob exclaimed beeping the horn.
I looked up to see that I car had pulled out in front of us and when my eyes found the driver I gasped.
It was Leo.
My eyes met his; he smirked then sped of down the street his car engine roaring.
A low growl sounded in the car and it came from Jacob.
"You okay?" I asked him giving him a curious look.
"Fine" he spat out through clenched teeth.
Jacob dropped me home and left quickly he said he had some important meeting.
When I went inside the house was empty and there was a note in the kitchen from Emily saying she would be back at 7 and that there was money for me to order some food and to call Jake if I needed anything.
"I swear Jake might as well be my brother I see him more than I do Sam" I spoke into the silence.
The sun had peaked out from behind the grey clouds and looked like it was going to stay there for a bit so I headed out to the beach for some air and maybe a quick swim.
Once down at the beach I walked along the shore line and looked out towards the horizon.
It was too rough to swim so instead I just enjoyed the view.
When my feet started to hurt I sat down on a bit of driftwood that was dry.
A puddle had formed in the sand in front of me.
I checked over my shoulder to make sure no one was around.
Reaching out my hand to the water I began to make it rise.
I played with the water turning it into 2 separate balls.
Using both hands I juggled the balls and began to make them into shapes.
It was good to practice with the water it felt like it had been ages since I had used my powers even though I used it this morning; I liked just playing with it.
"Hey Ali! Is that you?" a voice yelled out from near by
Startled I dropped the balls and they landed with a splash.
I jumped to my feet and saw who had called out to me. It was Paul and Jared.
"Hey guys" I said trying to sound casual.
"What are you doing down here?" Paul asked
"Oh nothing just thought I would go for a walk" I replied
Jared and Paul pulled of their shirts and dropped them on the sand
"What are you guys doing?" I asked them
"Going for a swim, wanna come with?" Jared answered
"No thanks, I should get back got homework to do. I'll see you boys later" I blurted then quickly high tailed it out of there waving over my shoulder as I left the beach.
