"Today, you get to go to school!" Ayden told them at breakfast with fake cheerfulness.
The night before, they had all gotten haircuts, even Ayden who now, to complete his tall dark and handsome figure had inch long hair that hung limp and teasing in his face. His dark green eyes were enhanced by what he called "contact lenses" and told Alanna and Jon to tell their classmates they wore them too. Amethyst and sapphire eyes weren't very common, here in Canada.
Now, Raoul sported his curly hair in a more unruly fashion that made Alanna want to tug on a look just to watch it bounce back out of place. Gary's always tidy, slicked brown hair was now a 'buzz cut' and the macho look had been very attractive for some of the girls at the shop. Alex's hair was the same but a bit shorter. Alanna herself had the same cut as Ayden and she thought it suited her quite well, so did the girls in the store next to the barber shop.
Finally, Alanna was impressed with Jon's thick, black hair, the stylist had cut it at around a half inch length and then spiked it up off his head with gel. The new look was very attractive and she obviously wasn't the only one who thought so; every group of girls who passed them would burst out in suppressed giggles and point at Jon with gleeful looks.
Alanna stayed on her own as they got their haircuts instead of hanging with Ayden. Jon tried to get her attention a few times but when his attempts proved futile each time, he gave up and just looked at her every so often.
Alanna had been very surprised when a girl had walked up behind her and tapped her shoulder. When she spun around, Alanna faced a thirteen or so year old girl with pin straight blonde hair, the girl smiled at her and let her finger trace Alanna's left biceps. "What's a guy like you doing walking around without a girlfriend?" The blonde asked with a seductive wink. The initial shock wore off and with a disgusted look, Alanna harrumphed and walked back to her friends. She was only thirteen! Alanna thought. Behind her, the blonde shrugged and walked towards another band of boys.
That night Jon ended up on the floor again, he lied down without a word and just stared up at the ceiling as Alanna slipped under the crisp white sheets of the bed. She couldn't take it anymore, the silence was just too much. "Jon?" She asked tentatively, hoping he wouldn't be mad.
"Yes?" He replied eagerly, propping himself up on an elbow and looking at her expectantly.
She sighed with relief and smiled at him," I really like your hair," she told him then turned off the light and turned away from him. Jon just stored at her form in the dark then, pushing his fingers through his gelled hair, he grinned and fell back onto his bedroll with a thump and closed his eyes. He thanked the goddess for her mercy as he fell asleep.
This morning, everyone was dressed, their hair was ready, they had their school supplies in their bags. Jon chuckled, "I feel like I'm ten again and I'm just about to start my page training, only thing is, I can't be arrogant because of the fact that I'm a prince here." The others laughed with him.
Everyone ate a big breakfast except Alanna, who had an apple and some orange juice. When Jon offered her half a bagel she shook her head. "You know I'm not a breakfast person."
Overhearing her comment, Ayden piped in, "You should eat, you never know what will happen in high school!" He grinned and turned back to his conversation with Gary. Alanna shook her head again and bit into her apple.
After breakfast, Ayden called to them, "Alright, it's time to go, we gotta be at the bus stop in three minutes, let's move!"
As they filed out the door Ayden held open for them, he exclaimed, "Whoa! Where do you think you're going?" He asked Faithful who was following Alanna through the door.
To school, with Alan, of course. The cat answered simply if somewhat stiffly.
"I don't think so! Animals are banned in public places, I don't mind if you tag along but you can't make it look like you have anything to do with us."
Fine. The tom replied before streaking away down the street and disappearing. Ayden shook his head as he closed and locked the door.
The bus ride was amazing and when they got to the school they found it was about the size of three royal stables put to together so it was a convenient size.

"Ryneka! You're wanted at the front desk!" A shout burst into Ryneka's thoughts.
"What? Why!?" She asked her friend Kate who trotted up beside her and shrugged.
"I think there are some new foreign exchange students coming an you have to show them around for the first few days! You are sooo lucky! You get to be out of almost every class for like, a week, and they might be really hot guys!" Kate told her excitedly, a huge smile plastered on her round face. She brushed a lock of her curly brown hair out of her big, brown, doe like eyes. Kate was a part of Ryneka's clique, she was nice enough but she was absolutely obsessed with guys and wasn't very caring of her grades in school, which Ryneka was. Of course, Ryneka always noticed boys but she didn't fawn over them for months without even knowing their names! Kate was a little too eccentric for her sometimes. They always had fun at the movies though.
Kate was presently single and looking, she had broken up with her boyfriend only two days ago but she didn't mind, "There are plenty of other fish in the sea, right!?" She would say with a grin.
Ryneka always waited a month after breaking up with a guy to go out with someone else, and only a weeks ago, she had left her former boyfriend, the captain of the basketball team and she was still waiting, though looking. She wanted someone who would make her feel loved and safe, secure in his arms. She had thought she had found that in Russell, her ex, but during their relationship, she had found there was something else she wanted, but she didn't know what.
"I guess you better go now, Ryn, so see ya at lunch!" Kate said. Ryneka nodded and walked away with a wave to her friend.
At the office, she picked up the schedules of the new guys and checked them over, all guys, one ninth grade and four eleventh. She walked out of the office and waited on a bench for the new students, confident she would spot them easily since she knew everyone in the school already.
A voice hailed her, "Hey Ryn! You in charge of the newbies?" She glanced up from the schedules with a smile, she knew that rich voice, it belonged to Ayden. The boy was a good friend of hers, he made her laugh all the time, they hung out together but had never been on a date, they were just friends, Ryneka didn't mind though.
She got up and met him with a hug, "Yup, how'd you know? By the way nice haircut," she told him, running her hands through his hair.
"Thanks," he said, running his own hand through his hair in her wake. "You're always the one in charge of that stuff. Here they are!" He told her, moving aside to reveal the five boys behind him.
"You know the newbies, they friends of yours?" She asked him, only glancing at them.
"Yup, I only met them two days ago but they're cool. Especially this one," he told her, reaching for a small red head, catching him in a headlock and ruffling his hair. The red head cried out playfully and struggled out of Ayden's hold, punching him in the arm in the process. They both laughed and patted each other on the shoulder as the other four laughed too.
"Well, any friend of Ayden's is a friend of mine. Welcome to Ottawa!" she told them with a chuckle directed at Ayden and the boy. He must be the ninth grader, he's so small! He's kinda cute, I guess, she thought.
"Guy's, this is Ryneka, she's a good friend of mine, you show her respect!" He demanded, waggling a finger at them mock seriously, he laughed and turned to Ryneka, "Don't worry, they'll be nice," he said with a grin. "Be nice to them will ya! They aren't used to vicious women like you!" He joked. She stuck her tongue out with a grin and wrinkled her nose at him.
"I promise, I'll be nice," she vowed, her head hanging down and her lower lip stuck out in a pout.
"Good," he laughed. "See you guys have fun," he waved at the boys. "Bye, sweetie, and sorry 'bout Russell." He told her with a look of concern.
"Don't worry about it, I'm fine! We weren't meant to be, that's all!" She assured him. She smiled, "Bye cupcake!"
He laughed, "Okay, I believe you, bye!" He hugged her and as he walked away down the hall, they blew kisses at each other teasingly.
She turned back to her charges. "Hey, I'm Ryneka and I'm gonna be showing you around for this week. You can call me Ryn if you like." She smiled at them.
The red head came up first, "Hullo, Ryn, I'm Alan Trebond, nice to meet you." The boy held out his hand and Ryn took it. as soon as they touched, her head snapped up, Alan's eyes were purple! She noticed Alan was staring at her own eyes, she looked away quickly. There was something strange about this Alan.
"Nice to meet you, Alan, by the way, nice contacts," Ryneka was absolutely positive the boy wasn't wearing any but said it to cover up her hesitation.
"Yeah, I like yours too." the boy trailed off, still staring. Ryneka gave Alan his timetable and turned to the next boy, a dark, lean young man who reminded her of a cat.
"Hello, I'm Alexander Tirragen but you can call me Alex," the boy held out a hand, she shook it and immediately wished she hadn't, his touch made her feel sick, a wave of distrust crashed upon the shore of her mind.
"Nice to meet you, Alex," she mumbled, handing him his schedule.
The next boy she liked upon sight, "Hi Ryn, I'm Raoul Goldenlake, I'm looking forward to the rest of this week." The boy was very friendly, he had tightly curled brown hair and coal black eyes. His friends rolled their eyes at his comment and shook their heads.
She smiled and took his hand, shaking it warmly, "So am I Raoul." She gave him his timetable and he nodded gratefully.
The next boy walked up to her with a serious expression. "Hello, I'm Jonathan Conté," he didn't extend his hand right away.
"Conté? Is that French? I'm French, are you? Sorry, I always ask a lot of questions, one of my biggest faults," she shrugged. "Nobody's perfect."
Jon's facial features softened, his spiky hair even seemed to go a little slack. "Nice to meet you, Ryn. You can call me Jon." He thought I'd be a snob because he was new! Oh well, can't blame him. She thought, most of her friends would only have been nice because this black haired, chisel jawed boy was very handsome.
"Nice to meet you too, Jon." They shook hands, as soon as flesh touched, their free hands flew to their hearts and they gasped concurrently. Eyes wide, they stared into the depths of each other's sapphire eyes.
When they let go, they spoke at the same time. "Nice contacts." They told each other understandingly. Ryn knew she could trust this boy, it was one of those gut feelings she always had when she met someone, like that Alex boy, she didn't trust him, he was bad news. Now that she thought of it though, she hadn't had any kind of feeling about Alan only some kind of strangeness, and a bond. Raoul wasn't surprising, she rarely got any "feelings" when she automatically liked someone. She gave Jon his schedule without a word and he just nodded in thanks.
The last boy was a large young man with chestnut hair and eyes. His buzz cut didn't really appeal to her, she liked longer hair she could run her fingers through, but the look suited him well enough. He looked at her cheerfully and she liked him instantly. "Hey, I'm Gareth Naxen, call me Gary." He smiled at her, his eyes twinkling. He's hot! She thought fervently and eagerly grabbed his hand, not expecting to have a "feeling". When they touched though, an unexplainable heat ran through her, not unbearable heat but a pleasurable and exciting one, her stomach felt like it had dropped through her to the floor and her heart pounded in her ears. She'd never had that feeling before, what did it mean? What was so special about this Gary fellow other than his physical attractiveness?
She took a deep breath and calmed herself, she let go of Gary's hand casually and handed him his timetable with a smile that he returned wholeheartedly. "Well let's get started!" She said and just before turning to them down the hall, her eyes flicked to Alan who was fiddling with a necklace a t his throat, frowning in thought, then she caught Jon's eye, he grinned at her and winked. He knew.
