Okay, maybe I should've expected a map or some thing, but I didn't and that's okay, right? By the time dad dropped me off the bell had already rung, snow was piling up, and each flake was starting to melt in my socks. No, scratch that, my heels. I wasn't exactly freezing, but it wasn't fun walking around like this either. With a designer bag slung over my shoulder (the one aunt Alice got for me last Christmas) and binder in hand, I walked across campus in search of the office. My heels gave off a muffled click-clack and impatiently I looked down at my map for directions.
My eye twitched unused to the contacts that are practically hidden for Christmas and birthday use. I could tell that today was going to be a long one, when suddenly my face hit a wall. Some one chuckled from behind and asked "are you okay?" I let out my breath and let gravity and mother nature do the rest. "owe, that sure as hell hurts!" I complained as I looked down and noticed the shoes that stood near by. "no kidding. It could have been worst you know," he replied. My hands and binder moved to my side as I turned to face him.
He was cute and by ordinary standards, he was gorgeous. He was tall and sort of lanky, but there was no denying he also worked out. Blond hair framed his face covering the length of his neck and slightly curled at the end of each strand. Blue eyes mirrored my own awe even as his long lashes flicked up and down when he blinked. It was hard to tell what that soft strong face of his was thinking, and it reminded me of dad when mom wouldn't tell him what she was thinking. His soft lips moved as he said, "you're new aren't you." I nodded dumbly at him, still dazed a bit from my run in with a wall. "I guess I am." I told him.
I looked down to my map, remembering that it was still in my hand. I then mumbled "forget it." before looking back at him. "need help?" he asked. I smiled. "looking for the office actually, apparently they lost my schedule in the mail." I finished lamely. He nodded in agreement. "they did that to me last year too. Its no problem now, but if it counts as a constellation, you are pretty close to the office." he smiled, barely showing bright white teeth. I didn't believe it so I asked "how close? Close could be any thing." I justified.
He laughed a sweet sound and put both hands up in surrender. "well...err... this is the offices southern wall right here," he indicated the wall that I ran into. "you're kidding me!" I said, shock I was that close. "small world?" he asked still smiling. "yeah..." I trailed off, wanting to punch through school property, but restrained my self. I know mom and dad would not take to kindly to that, and neither would Sam. I shuddered involuntarily at the thought, and he took it for me being cold. "we should get you out of the snow before you catch the flu or some thing. And unfortunately Dr. Cullen just moved recently." he said concerned.
It was my turn to laugh, but it was caught in my throat. He led me to the front of the building and held the door open. I stood there not wanting to go in yet and felt the receptionist eyes bore through my back. Before he left he said "I'm Julian by the way." and disappeared out the door way. nervously I got my schedule and looked for my first period class wondering how long it was until lunch.
I barely walked into home room, noticing who was around me as they all stared at the new girl. Yup, that's me. One of the new transfer girls from the Cullen clan. I almost walked to the back of the room going down the aisles until Reneesme stood up and deliberately motioned for me to come over to her. With our height and close age difference it was hard to tell who was older, so most of the time, people often confused us both for twins. But there we both were, same homeroom, same class, and more than likely, same age with the types of strings that mom and dad are able to pull. And some where into the first ten minutes of sitting down, did the second period bell ring.
Announcements went on as we walked to our next class. "students, if you have missed pictures for yearbook or ID photos, then step on down towards the gym. And coaches to you out there, the gym will be needed. So for those of you with second period PE, it will be a walking day. I repeat, it will be a walking day." this information earned plenty of cheers from surrounding students that were headed to the lockers, and many groans from those who just came from physical education.
Nessie whispered very quietly to me, "you sure are late." she noted. And then her eyes grew bigger as she stared at me, looking me over once, and then again. "where did you find that," she shrieked quietly, when I didn't answer.
"why? doesn't it look great? I mean it well … it did take me a while to find it." I said irritably enough. "are you nuts? You're supposed to look normal, not like some super star who dropped in from LA. " she said, pointing at me very dramatically. I gave her my special-little-sister what ever look and walked around the corner to Mrs. Henderson's class.
Bell rang and the last of students were still filing in like moths. I sat at one desk next to a girl with strawberry blond hair, freckles and a superb manicure and sense of style. I could tell we were going to get along just great. "hi, I'm Gina and you're new here, aren't you?" she said, introducing herself. "yeah, name's Seren." I replied just as enthusiastically. She looked at me in awe as she took in my bronze hair, muddy brown eyes, and semi-glittery skin. I felt my cheeks start to shade like the color evening skies in winter. "now class, if I will have your attention; oh and Serenity, you need to head to the gym dear, they're taking photos…" miss Anderson interrupted all conversation, and again people looked as I slipped out the door.
The halls were empty and quiet as my feet clattered noisily from the floor. I rounded the corner, a door opened a few feet in front of me and out came Nessie as she pursued me to the gym.
kay guys, thanks for reading and tell me what you think :P
