Chapter One
It was boring. So...very...boring. Suze's head drooped down and she had to jerk herself awake, idly doodling in her notebook. Normally, class wasn't this bad. In fact, normally this _was_ Suze's favorite class. But a late night kicking ghost butt and a boring substitute teacher giving a lecture was more than enough to practically bore Suze to tears.
'Must...resist...temptation...of...sleep...' she thought to herself and hung her head in her cupped hands. 'Must...resist...' She yawned and was able to cover that yawn before Mr. Heines noticed her boredom; he had a reputation for being the strictest teacher in school. He once gave a student a week's worth of detention when he accidently fell asleep during one of his boring lectures.
Luckily, the girl was saved from more boredom when the vice-principal walked through the door, a young girl trailing along behind her. There had been a rumor going around that a new transfer student was coming to their school. But that's all it had been: A rumor. Until now.
"Everyone," the vice-principal began, "I'd like you to met our new student. She's a transfer student from Ireland. Her name is Korrigan Tuatha DeDanaan. Say hello, Korrigan."
Suze blinked and finally turned her attention to the girl. She was tall, but not by much. She had long red-orange hair that came almost to her knees and covered half of her face; through the curtain of hair, Suze could see glints of gray. Her eyes.
"It's a pleasure to met you all," the girl replied in a lilting Irish accent. She smiled softly at them and hooked a strand of hair behind her ear. And Suze's jaw dropped. Her ear was pointed! Blinking, Suze looked again...and the girl's ear was normal.
'I must be more tired that I thought,' Suze thought to herself. 'For a minute there, I thought I saw... But how can that be? My eyes must be playing tricks on me...'
Interrupting her thoughts, the vice-principal smiled kindly at the girl. "Have fun on your first day. I'm sure you'll be making many, many friends. If you need any help, I'm assigning Suze to be your buddy for the first couple of weeks. She's one of your class officers." Then, with a general wave at the class, the vice-principal was gone.
Suze's eyes rolled back in her head, then smiled at the foreign exchange student and waved her to the empty desk next to her own. "Welcome to our school," Suze began as the new girl settled herself into the desk. "If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask me, alright?"
Korrigan smiled brightly at Suze. "Actually, I _do_ have a question for you. Are there...are there any other mediators in this area?"
The older girl blinked at stared at the red-head in amazement. "H-How did you know...?"
A/N: YAY! Chapter One is done! And just to let you know: All the chapters WILL be longer. It's just that chapter one is a teaser chapter! ^_^ And just to let you know: Korrigan is NOT a mediator! I repeat: IS NOT! If anyone knows anything about Celtic mythology, her name gives a BIIIIIIIIIG hint to what and who she is...but not ALL of the information. Anyway, review and I'll see ya in chapter two! ^_~
