Maths is boring, I'm bored, bored- bird...birdie!! I shook my head, I needed to listen, this lesson was important, we had a test coming up!
I just couldn't focus. My maths teachers voice was droning in and out of my skull, nothing would stick! My eyes wandered over to Phoebe, and I inwardly gasped.
Her cold blue eyes were glowing, and her finger was drawing a trail of luminescent blue light on her paper into a symbol. I shook my head again, and closed my eyes for a few seconds. When I opened them, I saw phoebe watching me with a strange expression on her face but, her eyes were back to normal, although still cold and hypnotic, and the symbol wasn't there. I smiled at her, and rapidly turned my attention back to the teacher. did I imagine that? I thought, my mind spinning.
Yes, I must have. The café is working me too hard. It's frazzling my brain. Nonetheless, I was slightly uneasy about what I thought I had just seen.
When the bell sounded for break, I noticed how warm Phoebe was. She sat very near to me, but that could only be expected, new girl at a new school and everything.
"So," I said, trying to spark up a conversation. "What type of music are you into?"
Phoebe looked up at me as we sat on the park bench, seeming alarmed that I had asked her such a normal question. "Um, rock, and nu metal, mostly.." she paused, as if trying to think of something to say also. But after about five minutes, she purely looked up at me and said, "What type of music do You like, Ichigo?"
I smiled at her. "Well, there is this one band, called E-jump, I doubt you'd have heard of them, they're Japanese.."
Phoebe smiled, and said, "I'm sure they are very talented."
What a lovely girl. I thought. I hope we get to be good friends..
The bell for the end of break sounded, and I checked my timetable. I groaned. "Art." I said. "I hate art."
Phoebe didn't speak another word as we walked slowly to class.
I sat at my desk, head in hands. "I can't think!" I moaned aloud. I mean- what was the teacher trying to do to us? I couldn't sprout a beautiful fantasy painting out of air!
"Use your imagination." Phoebe said softly, sitting beside me. I looked over at her curiously, and saw how deeply involved she was with the painting. I gasped. It was beautiful! If not a little creepy..
"Those unicorns are fantastic! They look so realistic!" I exclaimed, but paused when I spotted the cloaked creatures, hugging the unicorn. "Who are the people hugging the Unicorns?"
She looked at me, with no expression on her face, merely the slightest spot of silver and blue paint. "Vampires." She whispered almost inaudibly, I had to strain to hear her. She smiled, a cold amusement flitting her face. "And they're not hugging the unicorn, dear naïve Ichigo. They're feeding from it."
I was shocked. That moment, her tone, she sounded as if she hated me. But, as I looked at her, all coldness had long since evaporated, and she was back to concentrating fiercely on her painting.
"Alright, paintbrushes down, let's see what you have come up with." The teacher announced, as he started expecting and criticizing people's paintings. My eyes fell onto the blank canvas that was my "masterpiece."
Oh no! I thought. I'm gonna fail this class now! What do I do?? My head rested on the cool desk, as the teacher rounded our side of the classroom.
"Amazing, miss Burnes. You have amazing talent, those unicorns are amazingly proportionate, and those vampires, they really make the painting have an intensely gothic feel to it!"
"Thankyou sir." I heard Phoebe say. I couldn't help it, but the slightest pang of jealousy shot through me as I thought of my own, empty painting.
"Miss Momomiya,"
My head lifted slowly from the desk. "Yes sir." I mumbled, staring blankly at my white canvas.
"Hmm, I don't think you have nailed the fantasy thing just right." He said. I rolled my eyes. oh yay, even better, sarcasm. "Why don't you look to Phoebe for inspiration? I'm sure she has plenty to spare."
The whole class sniggered at me, and I groaned and let my head fall to the desk once again.

"Ichigo?" I turned and saw Minto looking at me with her usual, I'm-better- than-you-and-don't-you-forget-it face.
"Yes, Minto?" I sighed, and prepared for the long list of chores, orders, and criticisms she threw at me every day.
I was at work, the Mew Mew Café. It used to be the centre of our operations to battle aliens and save the earth, but we saved the earth years ago, and now it was just a normal girly café. We lost our powers as soon as the aliens had been defeated.
"A –girl- has arrived and is asking for you" Minto said 'girl' with particular disgust, and flicked her head towards a table, inhabited by one, very strikingly out of place girl.
Phoebe was staring straight at me, her long hair still loose, and wearing a lace-cuffed black velvet top and long black denim lace-cuffed skirt. Her make-up was done to the max.
"She a friend of yours?" Minto said sharply, clearly not approving of the gothic girl.
"Yes. She is." I said firmly, and pushed past Minto. She can be such a bitch sometimes! I thought as I walked towards phoebe. She looked away from me, and pushed a chair out from under the table she was sat, clearly indicating for me to sit. I did so.
"So- I said, "are you liking the school so far?" Phoebe looked at me scathingly, and I recoiled. Why does she hate me? Have I done something wrong already?
"I am to talk first." She said, flicking a strand of hair from her eyes with an ivory hand.
"Um- okay-?" I said, shakily. Man, she can be scary!
"You are to come with me to a club to meet my- friends," She said friends as if she only used this word as a means of describing these people. "At a club called, 'The dungeon'." She looked at me inquisitively. "Do you know of it?"

The Mew mews watched the scene in a mix of worry, disgust and curiosity.
"Who do you think she is?" breathed Rettasu.
"She's scary.." said Purin.
"Yes, she is kind of, satanic." Said Minto.
"She is clearly not a suitable friend for Ichigo." Stated Zakuro, looking down her nose.
Phoebe slowly turned her head as Ichigo looked down, and shot the group of girls a very Hostile sneer.
The Girls looked on in shock.

"No, I don't think I have heard of it.." I said, not liking the sound of that name. 'The Dungeon?' sounds slightly.. Dank.
"Well then, I will pick you up."
"I don't know.." I said. I really didn't like the sound of that place, but Phoebes eyes bore into mine. "You must come." It wasn't a plea, it was a demand.
"Good day, Ichigo." She stood, and glided out.
The girls suddenly surrounded me.
"Who was that?"
"She looked scary!"
"Why did she want to talk to you?"
"I don't think you should talk to her anymore."
"Guys!" I cut in through all the rambling. "It's fine! Her name is Phoebe Burnes, she's from England, and she has her own dress code, is all. I show her around the school. She's in all my classes. She's – lovely." I said the last word with a hint of uncertainty. She's just got a unique personality. I'm sure she means well.
"But she looks like a witch!"
"Look," I said, getting angry. "Have you ever heard of the phrase, 'never judge a book by its cover?' and anyway, she is lovely. I'm sure you mean well, but give her a chance, she's new."
I walked away from my friends. Sometimes they can be real snobs! I cant believe what they were saying about her! But still, there is no denying..
I remembered her cold stare as she was talking to me, and shuddered. There's no denying, she is a little- creepy..
