Chapter Two: The New Kid
When I walked into the school, I walked right to the reception desk, which was easy
To find. At least I didn't have to roam around the school looking like tourist, which made
me feel better.
"Hi I'm Jenna Sinclair, I'm new here."
"Ah yes, Principal Snelgrove told me you'd be arriving any day. Here are your text books,
your schedule, agenda, and your combination locks. Your locker number is at the top of
your schedule in the right hand corner." she explained.
"Thanks." I walked through the school, easily finding my locker. I opened my locker and
hung my lock on my locker. I hung by bag in my locker, pulling out my Nightmare before
Christmas binder and pencil cases and headed towards my first class. My classes flew by,
shockingly. Then again I wasn't paying attention, I was happily drawing vampire pictures
in my Notebook. It seemed like I was the only Goth in this school, I hadn't seen any other
Goths, so I guess that meant I was on my own. Great, that would mean I'd be the freak
Show…again. Then again I could always flip off the annoying students. The bell rang
for lunch, that was then I realized I hadn't made any friends or acquaintance's for that
Matter. I was going to spend eleventh grade alone. All I could do was walked through the
large groups of students to get to my locker, once I got to my locker. I threw my books in
grabbing my lunch bag.
"Hey, Vlad there's that girl from earlier." I looked down the hall to see two boys. One tall,
muscular, perfectly tanned skin, and blond-ish brown tousled hair. The other boy was
about the same height, tall, thin and skinny, he had dark hair, and pale skin. He wore all
black. He glanced at me. Oh no.
"Hey-." he started to say. I closed my locker and ran off. Once I was emerged in a crowed off students, I walked into the cafeteria,
quickly finding an empty table near the back. I sat down relieved to have gotten away
from that boy. I turned on my I pod to Thank You For Your Venom by My Chemical
Romance. A vampire themed song.
"Hey, do you mind if we sit with you?" I looked up to see the two boys from earlier. The
pale boy had spoken to me.
"Alright." I said nervously. They both sat down.
"I'm Vladimir Tod." he started
"You accidentally ran into me this morning and you dropped this." he said pulling my
necklace out of his pocket. It was a vampire fangs necklace I had gotten when I was 13.
If I had to pick a favourite necklace it would be this one. My grandfather gave it to be
before he passed away, this was my only way off remembering him.
"T-thank you for returning my necklace." I stuttered.
"Your welcome." I expected them to leave but they didn't.
"So I guess you haven't met anyone yet, huh?" the boy with blond hair said. The boy
named Vlad elbowed him in the ribs.
"Well, I just transferred here so I don't really know anyone." I confessed.
"Well now you do, I'm Henry McMillan."
"I could show you around if you want." Henry added.
"That's okay-"
"Hi, your Jenna, right?" I looked up to see a girl dressed in pink from head to toe. It made
me nauseated to see that much pink. Anyone one with half a brain wouldn't wear that
much pink.
"It's Luna actually, who are you?
"Meredith Brookstone. Luna do you want me to show you around or…?"
"I'm showing her around." a boy with silver hair approached Meredith. Meredith actually
looked a little scared.
"Umm. Okay…Kristoff, I-I'll be going now, bye Luna." She scurried off. I looked at the
silver haired boy once more.
"Hey Jenny." he smiled, only one person called me Jenny. David.
"David?"
"It's Kristoff now, but, hey." I jumped up and hugged him.
"I haven't seen you since sixth grade, how have you been?"
"Pretty good, it's been a little boring with out you here, though."
I blushed.
"Sorry." He apologized. We sat down.
"I'm fine." I said
"Good, I wouldn't want to repeat fifth grade."
"…Yeah."
"What happened in fifth grade?" Henry asked.
"I ended up I the hospital, every time my heart beats faster my blood increases
Dramatically."
"So that's why you ran off earlier?" Vlad asked.
"Yeah, I had to calm down and I have my medication."
"Oh."
"Well what made you go to the hospital?"
"My P.E teacher forced me to participate and I told him about my condition, but he didn't
Listen and I ended up in the hospital."
"That's gotta suck." Henry said.
"Yeah it did."
"Hey Vlad, hey Kristoff." A girl with raven hair spoke for the rest of the Goths. Guess that
meant I wasn't the only Goth here at Bathory high.
"Hey." Vlad said.
"Hi." Kristoff spoke.
"So, who's your girlfriend Kris?"
"She's…We're not together, Sprat." Sprat and another Goth boy gave each other
disbelieving glance.
"So who's your friend?"
"I'm Luna and you are?"
"Andrew and this is Snow." he said pointing to a Girl with burgundy lips.
"Hi." she said.
"And I 'm October." The girl with raven hair added.
"So let me see if I get this right." I said
"Sprat, Andrew, Snow, and October." I asked
"Yep." Sprat spoke for everyone.
"Alright."
"So, I was wondering if you wanted to come to The Crypt with us." Kristoff asked.
"Well I still have to unpack so…"
"We could help." He offered.
"You really don't have to-"
"We don't mind, right guys?" October said.
"I don't mind." Sprat added
"Me neither." Snow agreed.
"Count me in." Vlad spoke.
"Me too." Andrew chirped.
"Thanks, guys."
"No problem, Luna. Any friend of Kristoff is a friend of ours."
I smiled at my newly found friends, I could belong somewhere again and not feel scared
of being alone.
