Chapter 2. Surviving School
I arrived at school to see several people staring at me. I figured this was a downfall of being the new kid. I trudded along to my first period math class. The teacher started calling names from the roster, and I worried.
"Mason Greybeck" she read off and I felt better. At least the school had gone along with the requests from my family to keep my name a secret.
"Alexandra Ruso" the teacher called and I saw Alex wrinkle her nose.
"Alex" she corrected.
"I don't like the idea of you sitting by those three" she said and I saw Alex sitting with her friends.
"Take a seat over here next to Mr. Greybeck" she said and Alex made her way to her new desk. When she saw who I was, she waved and smiled. I tried to keep my eyes off her, but it proved to be a challenge. I did notice that she was one of the only girls who didn't stare at me all throughout school. I decided maybe she had something to hide as well, and disliked the attention of others. I left math class and followed Alex to Art. I figured this class would be easy enough. You just have to try to draw a pretty picture and you'll survive. I made it through my first week of school without anything really strange happening. I didn't know if this would last though
