Chapter 1 "New Beginings InA New Year"

Brightblue eyes scanned the room before resting them on a figure who was sitting down in a small desk. The figure had two toned grayish blue hair going darker towards the back of their head, a black long sleeved shirt with a blood red short sleeved shirt that had 2 black stripes across the front over it. They had a pair of black baggy jeans with what looked like a phoenix on one of the back pocket's. Theblue eyes looked closer to see that the figure was a boy with blue shark fins on his cheeks. Despite everything however, the most facinating feature was his smoldering crimson eyes. The figure with blue eyes stepped into the light of the classroom and out of the darkness of the corner he was standing in. The blue haired boy looked up to see his friend Tala starring at him.

"What?" he rose an eyebrow at him.

"When did you get your eyebrow pierced?"

"Oh that. I got it right after summer vacation started." Kai smirked. "I also got my ear and lip pierced." Kai showed Tala his ear after Tala saw under his bottom lip; right in the middle of it.

"Cool, so you heard the news right? A new girl's coming today. An exchange student from Russia." Tala sat down next to Kai.

"Russia huh?" That means she might know a couple things." Kai smirked. "Like know us for instance."

"Yeah." Tala smirked as well.

A teenaged girl walked down the halls that were crowded with students when the bell went and the crowded halls disbanded so that they were abandoned. The girl sighed as she started looking for her locker which she found easily enough in building C. She looked down at her schedule to see that her next class was in room number 186 in building D.

'Airy let's hurry to your class.' a voice clearly said from within the girl's head. The girl sighed in return.

'Why am I even here? You and I both know that I'm smarter than most of the students here. I probably AM the smartest person here!'

'Oh Erin, you know that your mother only wants what's best for you.'

'I know that much Daylight it's just that I hate being here.'

'Just try to cope with it Airy.'

Erin sighed heavily. 'Being the new student sucks!' she thought angerly as she started looking for room number 186. After about 10 minutes of walking she finally found the room and took a deep breathe before knocking on the door. The instant chatter from within seemed to stop as the door opened and a stotic woman appeared before Erin. She had brown hair that was twisted up into a messy bun and she had paint all over face and clothes. She smiled warmly down at Erin.

"Hello, you must be the new student. I'm Ms. Wilkes the art teacher and you must be Miss Erin Larette, correct?"

"Yes ma'am I am."

"Well welcome, welcome we were just discussing what the new project would be. Come in, don't be shy or anything." Ms. Wilkes opened the door wide enough for Erin to walk in. Ms. Wilkes followed and turned to the class which must've been at least 25 to maybe 30 students. "Class we have a new student here today. This is Erin Larette from Italy. Welcome her with open arms as I go into the back room and grade some things okay. Oh and before I forget the new project is that you have to get a partner that I will decide and do a portrait of your partner. Make sure it is excellent and not stick figures." Ms. Wilkes looked at a boy with dark blue hair with a red and blue cap on. "This means you Tyson." Erin watched asthe boy named Tyson sunk low in his seat with his ears turning a slight shade of pink from embarrasement. Ms. Wilkes looked around the room. "Tala Valcov raise your hand so that Erin can see you. Erin I want you to sit next to Tala okay?"

"Yes ma'am." Erin slightly smiled at the teacher and walked over to a tall red haired boy with ice blue eyes. He wore a pair of baggy blue jeans and a white shirt that said 'Bloody Hell that's a big nose!' in green writing. His left ear was pierced and had a fang as an earring. Erin sat down beside him and got out her ipod that she loved like a sister. She put on her head phone's and pressed the ON button, soon she was listening to My Chemical Romance's "Helena". Erin was in the middle of listening to Linkin Park's "Crawling" when she was tapped on the shoulder. She looked up to see Tala motioning something towards her. With an eyebrow raised she took off her head phone's to stare at him. "What?"

"So your from Italy? Why don't you look like one? I mean with Italians they have dark skin right?" Tala looked at her.

"I may have been brought here from Italy but that dosn't mean that I was born there or I lived there all my life." Erin slightly glared at him.

"Well then where are you originally from?"

"Russia. Why do you want to know anyway?"

Kai looked at the girl in front of him. She had silver hair with black highlightsand a slim figure. She had a pale complextion and rosy cheeks and lips. The girl wore a blackpair of pantsthat had chains and zippers on it and went down and covered her feet. She had on a black shirt that was tight fitting so that he could see how big her breasts were. 'Probably around 34 or 36 C.' he thought amused and he looked at her eyes. They were and acid green and were outlined by black eyeliner and masscara. Her silver/black hair was put up in a high pony tail with two strands framing her face.

"We just wanted to know why you weren't tan like most Italians are." Tala shrugged without much thought.

"Well as you can see and heard I'm from Russia." she smirked at Kai. "And who are you blue boy?"

"The name's Kai."

"Erin." she smirked. "It's a pleasure to meet you Kai. I hope that we have a lot of fun with each other."

Kai smirked as well. "Only if you can handle it."

"Something tells me that I'm going to like this year." Erin inwardly smirked as Tala started talking about what he and Kai could show her at the school.
