New students
The next day was Monday and everybody was streaming off the bus. Emma noticed that Rose hadn't been on the bus but was surprised to see her get out of a sleek black range rover closely followed by the people she had seen yesterday.
Whispers could be heard as they entered the school building, everybody noticing the newbies. Strangely, now everybody had respect for Rose but she ignored it and pretended to act normal. The only strange thing was that now everybody wanted to be her friend because of the popular new students. She, however though stayed loyal to her friends. Taylor, Grace, Oliver and Gabby.
Strange to think that she had all of her lessons had the new kids or "The shadow hunters" as they were known by now. She sat in a table with them and seemed serious at every class but every student knew that by lunch something was funny enough to set them off.
Abigail felt a wrenching at her heart when she saw how popular Rose was know. She had worked years to get to the top and suddenly as a cute group comes over and she was friends with them she was hot? So not cool. So Abby and her cronies decided to prank her. They would send a message, jump her and beat her. For a after math, they decided to cruelly cut her arm so that everybody could see.
Rose's phone buzzed with a message from a unknown number, which said
'ROSE NEED TO TALK NOW. NEED TO APOLOGISE FOR YESTERDAY. COME TO THE GIRLS BATHROOM, AND ALONE.'
EMMA
"Hey guys, be right back. Need to go to the bathroom." Rose excused her self
"Sure, don't get lost." Jem teased her, whilst holding her hand
"I'm not the one who's first day it is…" Rose muttered smiling at her grinning boyfriend
When she went to girls bathroom, she was attacked. Feet came from nowhere and she was kicked and beaten. Herself, being a highly trained shadow hunter new the best places to kick when it came to girls. The were lucky, not to actually have gotten beaten up by her. Not before she felt a blinding pain on her right arm, the underside. The girls ran away after that, leaving a bloody Rose on the floor, for the first time sobbing. She soon stopped and walked out, hoping her grey hoodie wouldn't give it away. When she stopped at her table though Jem knew something was wrong, by the way she winced when she moved her arm and where there were blood marks on her hoodie. He slowly sat her down and carefully peeled her hoodie of her body. She gasped as he touched her arm. When he looked at her actual arm though, there was something wrong. It had been cut by a blade but it said XXX. Rose laughed out loud and looked pointedly at the other group. She stormed her way towards there with her arm on full view.
"This is just sadistic. What is wrong with you people? Like do you have a nerve wrong or something? This is how you get your message across. By jumping me, attacking me and cutting me. Boy, you are so stupid." She slapped Emma first and them Moira, ending with Abigail.
Rose made her way back to her table, where the was a deadly hush across the gymnasium. The three girls were left, staring at her in surprise. Jem took her hand and lead her to the nurse probably to be cleaned. In her absence though the only talking could be heard by The Shadow Hunters and her only loyal friends left. Simon immediately clicked with Oliver because of their love of Minecraft and Gabby as well.
Taylor, well it could be said that she and Tessa were having a great time talking about books and the classics. Will joined in at some places but he mostly was paying attention to Grace who was asking tips for a great body combat competition.
When Rose came back though, her hand had actually healed fully, without any blood left just a pink swollen arm was left.
"A stele." Oliver suddenly said "You used a stele to heal her arm."
"I'm sorry?" Jem asked, glancing worriedly at everybody who was a shadow hunter "How did you know that?"
"Oh don't worry, we all know your shadow hunters. You see this is actually a school for people with The Sight." He proudly said "I myself, have the sight."
"Hm….. I knew there was something strange with you Oliver Stanley." Rose said whilst exaggerating a frown.
"Hey! Not fair!" Oliver said whilst crushing her into a behind hug "I know far more better than you do."
"Hah, very unlikely. You guys, do you want to come by our house this afternoon? After school? You know, go for a swim?" Sophie asked
"Oh! Yeah well, that would be lovely but wouldn't anybody mind?" Gabby asked
"Well, our adoptive parents are working here so we can ask them after school." Rose said whilst eye glistening with excitement
"Can we ask you? Where are the rest of your friends? I mean we saw more of you yesterday but today there aren't more of you. Unless their hiding in the bushes…." Taylor asked whilst peering around cautiously
"Hm, no. They're all above eighteen, so their at home or doing their jobs. Daytime jobs." Will said proudly
"Yes. We'll come but we need to go home first to pick our stuff up. Can we guys like come to your house later?" Oliver asked
"No need. We'll go round to your houses and get stuff there. It's fine." Tessa assured them
"Oh great then! See you guys later." Her friends said whilst heading to their class.
"What's next class? Sophie asked, curling her hand into Gideon's
English Language Arts. With them." Simon pointed to the group who had annoyed Rose
"Well, let's get going then." Will grimly said
School has ended and everybody is waiting for the car to arrive. They all pile in and see that it was neat apart from the stray book or phone book.
"Hey Cyril!" Rose shouts at the young looking boy in the drivers seat
"You really like shouting don't you?" Taylor asked, shaking her head
"Oh no. Naturally at home, she's very quiet and reads and well, trains with Will. Sometimes though if you can't find her then listen, for two violins playing sublime music. Follow it and she'll probably be playing with Jem." Cyril said grinning
They arrived at Oliver's house and he jumped out only to reappear with a big looking bag. The same went with the three girls.
When they arrived at the house, the gasped. It was so big and well, majestic.
