The next day was pure darkness outside, Noya trudged across the snowy layer's of ground. As the wind blew through her long pink hair.

her eyes so translucent a smoky grey shining against the moon as it smiled back at her with it's glistening sparkle.

In her hot pink tunic and tights, brown boots that had dried over the other night. A bag over her left shoulder, she walked to school. The school was up ahead covered in forests that protected it's area. As she walked a rustle of bushes shook next to the school, she stopped in her path. Over the great big cherry bush with snow layered around it like a great big cake.

Noya licked her lips hungerly as her stomach growled quietly, "Who's there.. ," she whispered to the bush, slowly putting her hand inside the bush.

Who knows what was lurking in there, suddenly she was being pulled in by something. She thought it was an animal because it was pinching her arm like it was biting her. She gasped trying to pull back her hand, her heart had beat quickly, then suddenly out of the bush another hand appeared and grabber her around her neck, she let out a scream..but it hurt her, then out of the blue a little boy popped out from the bush, he was a very strange boy she didn't even know.

The boy chuckled and apologized to her as he said, "Thought it was the aliens..,"

Noya gave him a wierd look, around his neck lay a telescope, that had a ring around it where the head went through sort of like a bracelet would around the arm.

"What are you talking about?," she asked curiously. The boy was around her height, with blonde ruffled blonde hair and brown eyes that looked like the cocoa that Noya had drank yesterday as her and Alfred had talked.

The boy was a Kero, he sat on the floor next to Noya who had followed as he whispered "I was looking through my telescope..suddenly I saw a dark shadow crossing the moon..it was this great big ship flying past the moon..then I knew it was the aliens. So I hid in the bush so they won't get me," he replied as he finished his story, his cheeks were turning a blush red, he examined her face. Noya was staring down at the snowy ground, her hands grasped into one another together, as if she was in a thinking position.

"You don't think I'm crazy do you?." he asked. Noya faced him, "Don't think like that! I don't people already think I'm crazy," she replied peering at him.

The boy smile dand thanked her, taking her hand he shook it.

"My names Nelson," he said, Noya smiled as she introduced herself. Noya checked her clock, "I'll meet you later, I have to get to class." the kid smiled, as he watched Noya walk to class.

Nelson watched her as she ran to class. Noya walked the long hallway and into her classroom early.

Mrs. Coral was at her desk drinking coffee and grading papers. "Hello Noya, why do you come into my class early?,"

"Just came to apologize for being rude..," replied Noya.

Mrs. Coral smiled delightfully, looking at Noya bewildered, "Thank you, please sit down," replied Coral pointing to a chair.

Mrs. Coral put down her reading glasses and looked up at Noya, "Your mother called, said she wants you to come back home..," she replied.

"No..I don't care, I don't want to see that pig ever again...she lies to me," replied Noya.

"She's your mother..," replied Mrs. Coral.

"No.. not anymore," said Noya as the bell rung.

The ringing had hurt her ears, she rubbed them.

Children started filing in class, they looked at Noya and eyes her with fear. It's as if they didn't know who she was, or if she was some alien herself. Her brother's had come in late.

"Hey Noya, mom want's you back home," replied Dwight sternly.

Noya rolled her eyes, "I don't want to," she replied.

They sat down across from her in the first row side by side. Tom looked at her, his face was almost a clear white, as if he'd seen a ghost, his eyes, same color as his sisters were drenched with tears.., Noya looked at him, "What's wrong Tom?" she asked.

Tom had looked at her and then at the desk, ignoring her question.. he was silent.

"Alright class, today we are starting a worksheet about the history of planets," smiled Mrs. Coral, as she eyed the room and gave Tom a tissue for his eyes. Noya's face lit up, she knew the truth.. that no one knew, and raised her hand.

Mrs. Coral looked at her fixing her dark blue blouse, "Yes, Noya?,"

"How many planets are there?" she asked, everyone broke into a laughter, "You do know your making yourself look stupid.." replied Coral.

"There are two..we discussed that before.." she continued.

Now she could hear the girls in the back making fun of her, calling her stupid. "You are wrong!," yelled Noya.

The class had gone quiet ones again. Mrs. Coral's face grew a deep red, from anger. "How am I wrong? I am a teacher, I am smart!,"

"Just because your a teacher doesn't mean your smart..your a kero..you may not know alot of things..," replied Noya.

"I am right," screamed Mrs. Coral.

"Whatever your all stupid, no wonder we have no light, theres a planet that's hidden in space, it's called Astor and the race that live there are called the Astaire, the people on our planet think its a myth, they worshipped the stars and their lord Jimilee..," she talked for a while, some of the kids had gotten up from their nap, just to listen to the interesting conversation. After she was done a ton of kids raised their hand to ask a million questions, they had never heard such a story in their life, and now they wanted to see if there was an actual planet called Astor.

Mrs. Coral felt jealous, Noya was taking away her spotlight, instead of Mrs. Coral being the teacher it was like Noya was the teacher, she interrupted her with a smart off question as, "How do you know about this?,"

Noya faced her and said, "From Alfred, worker of Quicken Bicken, the black market owner across Milberry..," replied Noya.

The teacher hated Noya now more, kids were actually liking her, "Alfred's cool!," said a kid from the back, another kid shouted, "Yeah he is! He sold me a electronic walkie talkie for free!,"

Mrs. Coral rolled her eyes with disgust, "Alfred is a drunken basterd who is full of lies, pretending he knows all..," she laughed.

Noya got up and was raged up with anger of what Mrs. Coral had said about her friend Alfred, "He never did nothing to you!, screamed Noya, she pushed Mrs. Coral lightly against the wall, but Mrs. Coral flew with force and hit the wall. Noya calmed down and gasped. The kids got up, "Woah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!," they yelled, some boys in her class backed away from her afraid not to get on her bad side, "Dude she's like muscle woman!!!!," yelled another kid in the back row.

The kids went to see what Noya had done, Coral was unconcious. One kid got up and yelled "Yay school over!," he took his stuff as a bunch of kids followed him to leave, "Thank's Noya!," they yelled leaving the class, others were too shocked to actually leave, they just stared at Mrs. Coral numbly. Noya feld pain in her arms, she looked down at them, they were punctured, and not with real blood, but with a new layer of skin, not her own..scaley skin.

Her eyes had widened with terror, it was time for the transformation and she had to run to the basement at Alfred's and FAST!

Taking her belongings a girl in the class started to cry, "Look what you did Noya! Your a bad girl! Mrs. Coral was the greatest teacher!," it was a crooked nosed girl with shaggy blonde hair that Noya didn't like, she was a teacher's pet by the name Cinny.

Noya rolled her eyes and rushed down the long hallways, she could hear her brothers running after her calling her name and telling her not to leave. As Noya had got outside she saw Nelson, the boy she met today..in the same place where he was, waiting for her..she rushed passed him and out the woods running quickly.

He was a strange boy she thought. She ran quickly down the road, looking behind her was no sign of her brothers. This time she was not going to class, she had almost killed her own teacher.
