Chapter Two
"Believe it or Not"
Oh. Maybe my eyesight has gone wacko! The girls finally came into focus. They were hidden behind some boys because they were…making out? That's one thing I didn't expect from mortals. I kept on walking and staring at the unusual behavior. Incredible, and I thought my aunts were bad. Teenagers were skateboarding, kissing, fighting, socializing, and sharing glances. If this was what Robin T. Wood Academy was like, I was loving it. I may not have any friends but, I'll make some. Although, I do know it's hard. I've read books about normal girls and how they make friends. All I have to do, is find someone who is less popular then I am and we'll automatically have things in common. It has to be true. It says in the book, Live Long Or Not.
I looked around. I didn't spot a loser in sight. It's like they all vanished and transformed into blondes with blue eyes and tan skin. Maybe…I am the only loser here. I shrugged as I sat down on the warm concrete. What was everyone waiting for anyway? Shouldn't we all be inside? Besides, it's hot out here. The sun is cooking me like a marshmallow, literally! I blew a piece of red hair out of my face. I'm supposed to do this everyday, aren't I? This is just great. I get all excited to go to school but, then I'm stuck here laying on the hot grey concrete. At least it matched the school's uniforms.
"Excuse me," a weak voice came from behind.
If I turned my head it better be some tall guy who had the same body shape as the incredible Hulk. I turned slightly. It was a boy…but, not the one I expected.
"I'm new here and…I was wondering if you knew where the nurse's office was. I have nasal allergies." the boy sniffed.
I turned my head slightly to the side. "What's nasal allergies?" I asked. I blinked various of times.
"I'll tell you if you show me to the nurse's office. I have to drop off my medicine," the boy said as he fixed his glasses. I was surprised how tall he was when I stood up. I realized he did have silver-grey eyes.
"Alright," I nodded. I grabbed my backpack and began walking to the front of the school with Mr. Nasal Allergies behind me. I opened the door and let Mr. Nasal walk in first. I followed behind him. I stood in awe as the school was huge and clean. Every green locker looks as if it was just painted, the ceilings had drawings of angels and naked babies. The walls were painted a perfect white and the floor below us was white tile that was totally clean. There were no spiders, or rat traps. Down this hall was a pair of stairs that, went up in a higher level.
"I'm Vladimir Sangrie." Vladimir shot out his hand.
"Jean Caster." I shook his hand. He had a tight grip but, it looked as if he wasn't trying.
"Nice to meet you, Jean." Vladimir smiled.
I nodded to him as I tried to remember where the nurse's office was. Before I left I had informed myself with the layers of the school. I memorized everything. First, I go to the right and go past the Biology room and Calculus classroom. We then, go left and the nurse's room hits us in the face.
"Here it is." I pointed to the big brown door that had the nurse's logo on it.
"Is your necklace okay? It's been glowing ever since I was here." Vladimir raised his bushy brown eyebrow.
I picked up my crescent moon necklace, it was glowing like crazy. My mother gave it to me when I was born. It was such a gorgeous necklace. The necklace had seven diamonds implanted in it.
"It's…electronic. That's why it's glowing." I gave him a fake smile.
"Okay. Well, thank you, Jean." Vladimir grinned.
"You're welcome. Bye," I waved.
I wanted to run away from here. It was a scary thought of my necklace to glow like that.
"Nice meeting you too." Vladimir frowned as I was eager to leave. He opened the nurse's door and walked inside. The brown door closing behind him.
Relief filled me instantly. I held my necklace that was no longer glowing. My necklace only glows for one reason. I began walking faster down the long hall. Was the hallway getting longer as I walked? I clutched my necklace as the end of the crescent pierced into my palm. I wanted to tell my aunts but, they would take me out of this school. I'm sure, if I avoided Vladimir everything will be alright. The weird thing is, he looks one hundred percent normal. With his, crazy dirty blonde hair, watery-silver eyes, pastel skin, and his tall height. Most were short and had a stern angry look. Vladimir, had a soft look but, with a stern jaw. He didn't look dangerous. Besides, who of his kind has 'nasal allergies'. I snorted as I passed a silver water fountain.
Vladimir isn't a mythological creature. How stupid was I to almost believe that? Obviously, very.
