Chapter 9

Dear book;

I met a girl. And no not just a hot girl, although she is. But more than hot y'know it's almost like saying she's hot is cheapening the intense, almost ethereal beauty she exudes, radiates even. It's weird I feel so calm around her. I met her today. It was my first day of school in this crap-hole town I've been banished to. Dick (face) dumped me on campus stupidly early so he could drive to Seattle for the day, supposedly on business. And It was freezing fucking cold! And no-one else was there yet, not even the staff. But then this sexy little bright yellow Porsche turbo came screaming into the car-lot and parked at the end of a sick spin. It was awesome. So I couldn't help it I had to go tell the driver that was the coolest shit I had ever seen. I did not expect to see an Angel sitting in the driver's seat. She rolled down the window and invited me in out of the cold. She cranked up the heating and smelled so damn good. She asked where I was from and why I had moved here. I felt ashamed to be so messed up and out of control. I felt like I could have exploded with sadness. I felt heavy. But then she reached over and touched my shoulder and said "Don't look so sad. Todays a new day and there will always be a tomorrow" and it all just lifted. I went from feeling like I weighed 10 ton to feeling like I was floating. So we talked. I told her I had made a few mistakes, gotten myself into fights and trouble with the cops and my family and it had all ended up with me being packed off here. Then her eyes brightened and she changed the subject to normal stuff, wrhat interests we have, what movies we like.. she kinda has some weird old fashioned tastes with a mixture of modern stuff too. Eclectic she called it.

Then the bell rang and school started, which was batshit crazy because I didn't even see anyone else arrive. And the rest of the day sucked because I hardly saw her after that. She's in a whole bunch of advanced classes so we don't have any classes together.. crap. Makes me kinda wish I hadn't skipped out on so much school.

"HELENA!" the silence of the morning was broken by Dick Greyson's voice echoing through the giant but almost empty house since most of their stuff was still in Gothem "GET READY FOR SCHOOL I HAVE TO DROP YOU IN EARLY AGAIN" Helena rolled her eyes at Dick's almost panicked tone. "someone over slept, and it wasn't me" she mumbled to herself as she ignored him and continued eating the breakfast she had made for herself after the two hour work out she had already done this morning since she once again couldn't sleep more than a few hours.

Just as Helena was finishing off her scrambled eggs and bacon with a side of toast and giant glass of orange juice Dick appeared in the kitchen looking slightly less stressed when he saw that she was ready to go. "Don't suppose you made enough for two?" Helena motioned her head toward the stove where the rest of the eggs sat staying warm in the fry pan she used. "you are on your own for coffee" Dick made a bee line for the eggs and gobbled them straight out if the pan."Mmm, I'll grab it on the way out of town. Let's head" and he headed off to the side door that led to the attached Garage where him snooty penis extension car was kept.

As Dick pulled into the car-park of Forkes local high school He noticed that Helena's eyes were darting around looking for something. "I doubt anyone is here yet kiddo"

Helena rolled her eyes and shot Dick a death glare, "Do not call me kiddo" and went to jump out of the car. "Hey" Dick called stopping her movement "why so bitchy at me all the time? Can't we just try and get along? I mean we are stuck together for the foreseeable future." Helena appeared to be deep in thought for a moment before she shook her head and replied "you see that might work if you were anyone other than you. A conceited, arrogant douche bag who clearly dislikes me as much as I dislike you" and with that she popped the door open and jumped out of the car turning to add "Oh and your welcome for breakfast jerk" and slammed the door behind her, taking off to the same spot she found yesterday morning slightly out of the rain but still just as cold. She watched Dick's car fly back out of the driveway as the same sleek and sexy bright yellow Porsche flew into it. it was almost like watching a nightmare flee at the sight of the happiest dream you could imagine. Helena's grin was almost predatory as she slinked toward the car and it's occupant with the grace of lioness.

Tapping once again on her Angel's Window she was surprised when Alice didn't wind the window down this time but instead just motioned to the other side of the car. Wasting no time Helena jogged around to the passenger side door and hopped in to the warm car that was this time playing an upbeat Celtic folk tune.

Alice glance at Helena trying to hide her annoyance, it wasn't her fault that her mood had been soured by her over protective idiot of a brother. "Would you like to go for a drive? I need to get out of here for a bit" Helena was again surprised, Alice certainly didn't seem like the type to blow off school but she could feel the tension coming off the other girl in waves so just nodded her head and buckled her seatbelt "where are we headed?"

After an hour and a half of extreme high speed driving Alice pulled her car in to a small space between two trees at the top of a winding road that lead up a mountain just outside of town. Turning off the ignition Alice swung herself around in her chair so she was facing Helena with her legs tucked up underneath her. Helena in turn unbuckled her seatbelt and shifted so that she too was looking directly at Alice. "You drive like a maniac, I mean I thought my mother was a nut-bag on the road but you lady, defiantly blow her right out of the water" Alice looked a little sheepish at Helena's comment "Sorry, I guess I get a little carried away at times"

Helena giggled. Giggled? I don't freakin giggle! What is wrong with me? She thought to herself "Hey no problem" she replied "I like to live on the edge" Grinning at Alice like a huge dork, Alice grinned back just as dorky and said "well stick with me then, because you ain't seen nothing yet" Sitting in comfortable silence for a moment it dawned on Helena that school would already have started. Skipping out on the second day of a new school was probably not the best idea but she couldn't say no to this girl, it just wasn't a possibility.

Helena was broken out of her thoughts when Alice asked "what are you looking so intense about?"

Smiling lazily at the girl she replied "Just that my mother is going to hit the roof when the school call's and tells her I was absent today" Alice's eyes widened and a look of panic came over her features "oh god! I'm so sorry" she apologised "I didn't even think, I'm so stupid!" Alice started to shuffle herself back around to face the steering wheel when Helena's deep chuckle stopped her cold, sending a shiver of lust down her spine. Helena, sensing the shift in Alice from panicked to turned-on reacted on pure instinct, launching herself across the car and attaching her lips to Alice's her eyes augmenting to their feral yellow. After less than a second of Helena's mouth against her's Alice also reacting on instinct kissed back.

Several minutes passed with the girls lost in the taste of each other, mouths and tongues moving in harmony when the need to breath hit Helena like a ton of bricks and she pulled back panting heavily Alice following suit, although not from lack of oxygen. Leaning her head against the headrest of the chair she waited for Helena to recover by mapping her face with her eyes, taking in every detail and storing it in her infinite and flawless memory. "You are magnificent" Alice said, not really even realising that she had spoken aloud. Helena's Eyes whipped up to Alice's when she heard her speak and Alice gasped softly in surprise to see that they were in the midst of shifting from a yellow as bright as the car they were occupying, back to their regular deep chocolate brown. Still slightly dazed from the passionate response she had to this woman Helena was confused as to why Alice might be gasping at her eyes. Then it clicked.

"oh god, oh god, oh god! Shiiiit!" I have to go" Helena opened the door to the car and tried to jump out and run away when she slammed in to what felt like a brick wall. "Don't run" the wall said in Alice's voice. Looking up Helena realised It wasn't a wall and was in fact the other girl whom moments before had been sitting behind the wheel of her car. "umm" Helena said in response "what the fuck?!"
