I'm really happy because a few of the kids from my old softball team are coming to see me play. Since I had to move from Majors to Juniors and I am so excited!

The second we arrived and the limo stopped Soren was out and around the car. He opened my door and the door to a place so beautiful it looked like it was from a fairy tale not a remote English boarding school. The grasses were the greenest I've ever seen. Sparkling blue water and skies so beautiful in the most clichéd way, flowers decorated so randomly it was obvious they weren't planted but just perfect the way they were arranged.

"You sure you're a scholarship student? I mean, sorry to break it to you luv, but the school doesn't take a special interest in anyone. The only one I've ever heard to do so is the president, but it wouldn't be possible." Soren said quickly. He looked around and then seemed satisfied with whatever he saw. He picked up all but my messenger bag.

"Luv, it'd be best if you'd head to the scholarship station. There you can get your room assignment and schedule." He said turning away but stopped and his eyes widened as if he remembered something, BTW, if anyone is looking for me I'm in the main office dropping bags off." and he was gone.

I started to walk the way he pointed when I walked straight into someone, "Oomph!" the person cried in surprise. Both of us fell to the ground, right smack on our backsides. He was quickly up but got down to help me up.

I took in the sight of him. Black hair on the longish side. His blue eyes, which looked pretty hard, softened when he saw me. He wasn't pale but he wasn't tan either. Oh and did I mention that he's a giant, I am personally 5, 8 but he is probably 6, 11 to 7, 3. But that's not the most noticeable part. His smile blew that of Soren's out of the galaxy. Soren's was a candle in sunlight to this boy's who was like the sun, stars, the moon, and a roaring and passionate fire all mixed into one.

"I'm so sorry I bumped into you." I said biting my bottom lip but he shrugged.

"It's okay. Neither of us was paying attention. By the way, I'm Ian and you are?" he inquired with the raise of a brow.

"You can call me Luce." I said and turned away but thought of something," Well, at least I'm not the only person here with a semi-normal name."

He smiled his amazing smile and then said to me, "Well I really have to find my friend Soren." He said and was about to walk away when I grabbed his wrist. He turned around.

"Soren said that if anyone was looking for him that he was in the main office, dropping off bags." He smiled and thanked me. I smiled when I heard someone call my name.

"Luce!" Soren yelled behind me and when he saw who I was in the company of he yelled "Ian, you met my friend 'Luce'" he said making quotation marks when he said my name.

"I can't be blamed if my mom decided to rename me Lucinda Price. I wish I was still the old me with Dad and mom and everything was normal.'

"So Ian what do you need?" Soren asked and Ian looked down sheepishly.

"I was wondering if-"Ian started but he was cut off by a school bell. Both of them smiled.

"It's time", they and almost everyone else said in union. When suddenly it got bright. And they changed.

Boy were Ian and Soren hot, they shone. And I mean that both figuratively and literally in Ian case because Soren was a werewolf.

And Ian was an angel.

I, being myself, fainted. A totally cool, calm and collected move right? Well, anyway I was out cold for some time. The darkness that I faced seemed to engulf me. Suddenly I was fully conscious of everything around me. I could feel myself being laid down onto a bed and heard Soren say" I won't say a word."

Say what? I wondered when suddenly I gained the ability to open my eyes. All that beheld me were Soren in the chair next to me, the nurse and of course about ten dozen roses.

"Oh, you're awake, Luce. Don't worry, I kept your secret." Soren said proudly but I wondered why, and what secret he was talking about.

"I have absolutely no idea what secret that is." I said honestly and he smiled shaking his head. What is his problem?

"Your name." he said as if I were a little kid who decided girls had chickens, you know, because they heard that girls have eggs.

"Why is that such a big secret?" I asked her a bit confused and he guffawed leaving me totally speechless and even more confused.

"You happen to be a very desirable young lady. Plus, the business Ian had to take care of with me was you. He wanted to know if you'd arrived." He said matter-of-factly.

"Why is that important? Why was he waiting for me?" I asked but he just looked at me.

"Don't tell anyone, since you are absolutely clueless about your heritage, but there is a bigger purpose to this school. I mean all the insanely-super smart kids are the scholarship students. But the rest of we're here for other reasons and for some reason you're included."

"What are the other reasons?"

"We're all you know, mythical creature. I'm a were and of course and then Laura, Ian's little sister, is fey, and Ian is the most obvious of all Ian is a fey as well." He said.

"Really, I thought he was an angel." I said and it was weird. I mean his wings looked nothing like those of a fairy or fey or anything like that.

"The highest order in our world ARE THE ANGELS. The only one in the school is our president. He's the reason, you, a normal human, knows about us. I think he took a liking to you." Soren said and I noticed he didn't exactly answer my question.

Wow, a school for mythical creatures, I feel like I stepped into a fairy tale. Angels, fey, weres, it's amazing and it's shared with me. I am really not that special or outgoing, I am not popular and I don't care about my looks. All these things are Rebecca's specialty, not mine.

Suddenly someone quickly knocked on the door. She quickly danced in and smiled. Soren looked up at her and waved. She did a quick wave and walked over to Soren. Laurel quickly hugged him and then looked away, at me. Disgust filled her eyes.

Suddenly Ian appeared and Laurel smiled at me sweetly. Though it was obviously fake. She turned around to Ian who beamed and he quickly walked over. Laurel started to open her arms to him.

As if anticipating the pickup and spin move. You know the one that is most commonly used with boyfriend and girlfriend. Where the girl gets all giggly and stuff. Yes the very one.

"Hey I-"she started when he came over to me. He lifted me up and spun me. I laughed because it was a pretty funny gesture plus it made me feel like I was flying, you know, like I was in an airplane.

Or I was a bird. I've always loved them. I just don't tell people, because it's kind of odd.

"She's alive!" he yelled laughing and he, Soren and I all laughed while Laurel sulked.

He put me gently on the bed he took a few steps back and inspected the room. He smiled at me. Laurel started to tap her foot and finally he looked at her and blinked. I guess he'd just realized Laurel was in the room.

"Hi Laura." He said a bit distracted. She looked pretty pissed, a bit at him but mostly at me.

"Hey Ian. So what's the big announcement going to be about?" she asked obviously curious.

"It's a surprise, you'll get to know when I make the announcement." He said patting her on the head as if she were six.

That was not the move she wanted a voice in my head told me she wanted a- but I stopped listening because I understood.

"Luce, did you get the flowers I sent?" he asked like a little boy.

"Yes all 120 flowers." I said with a laugh but he frowned.

"One was Soren's doing." He said as if it made a big difference.

"Well then, thank you Soren for the flower and thank you Ian for the 119 flowers." And he perked up.

"You're welcome. Come on Laura, let's get to class." Ian said and pulled her along.

I turned around to Soren as he caught her last mean look to me as she left the room. He looked at me and I nodded. Yes, she'd been doing that to me the whole time.

"So, Soren, does Laurel, you know, 'like' Ian?" I asked and he did the sort of hand thing, one eye closed.

"It's complicated but we have time. I don't have class and so we have all day. Here is the story, the story of how Ian fell in love with a girl, who was not Laura."

"We were four years old, well Ian was older but still, we were all best friends. Laura was practically attached to the hip of Ian, and just to say the least, she was his queen. But then he met her." Soren started.

"Who?"

"She was the daughter of the most powerful of all the angels. She had grown up with the normal humans, her mom was human but she somehow turned out to be full. But she was just beautiful, so innocent.

"She was older than Laura and I though, she was younger than Ian. That day we were with the student council president-"

Dramatic Flashback

We just sat there, happily on the playground. Gabe was happy, Laura was happy, I was happy, we were all just happy. Usually we weren't allowed to play here, well I was but the others weren't and it was never any fun without them.

Today, though, there was a girl we were supposed to play with. I hear she's mean and doesn't share toys. Laura's dad told us that no matter what she does, we have to be nice to her and let her play what she wants.

That means she's a meanie.

"She's probably a troll, so ugly that no one loves her but her father, because he is her father and it is his duty to love her no matter what. So she must become loved by a bunch of kids her age so that the spell is broken and an army of weird anime people can take over. Thus making her a monkey" I said impressed with my smartness. ]

But Gabe shook his head. He was thousands of years old. He was a true angel. So of course he thought it wasn't proper to have me saying such things. Especially because of who her father was.

"She's probably a princess, beautiful and regal. Like Cinderella." Laura said with impeccable speech for a four year old. Ian smiled and draped his arm around her and did a smile that said that he was absolutely in love her.

"Of course she is one of the most beautiful angel's daughter, she must be very pretty." Ian said and Laura smiled, probably so sure of his love. So we waited, playing on the swings and the monkey bars.

Everyone was busy playing when a girl arrived. The very second all the boys turned, thus leaving an unhappy Laura, who had thought Ian was waiting with open arms.

She slid down the slide and landed on her botttm. She was red, like tomato red.

The girl was beautiful, no angel anyone had ever seen compared. She was so fair that she was snow colored. Her hair shone like midnight and sparkled, giving it the radiance of the night sky that only happens once in a millennium. She had blue eyes that seemed so innocent and her smile was soft, shy and modest. It was a beautiful sight. She looked nervous in a way that wasn't, she looked like she felt out of place, until she saw Ian.

"My name is Deylia Scarlet Rosalinda Beau. I really just want to play with some kids my age, I think that's why I'm here. I have a nanny but she's not really close to my age. I'm six, and I like the book Wuthering Heights." She said not really talking to anyone but Ian.

"I love that book. It's so beautiful yet ugly, don't you agree." Ian said and she smiled. So for the rest of the day the two were playing with just each other. Laura was really jealous.

They were in their own world. Not one of us could penetrate it.

"That's why she doesn't like you. She knows that Ian like you." Soren said.

"What? But I don't remember this ever happening. You and Laurel and Ian, I don't remember any of you." I said hopelessly. Why, why don't I remember them?

"You get to know soon but first there is a major announcement about to be made. The student council president, Gabriel, yes one of God's main angels, is about to choose a mate." Suddenly he was up and pulling me.
