Morganville Academy; Watch out!

CLAIRE'S POV:

Class was finally over! I decided to take Eve to meet Lee. Me and Alice told Eve that we had moved to the academy with Lee and were bestfriends. However we left out the whole "Were vampires"... We were all meeting up for a picnic but when we were nearly there, I remembered something.

"Eve..." I started turning to her "Don't worry Lee is a real nice guy, not a jerk. You'll like him".

"Oh thank god" she said letting out a sigh of relief "I'm terrible at making friends and I thought he might be... umm... like a jock or really emo!".

"Hahaha! No he's normal! Surprising huh? OH! And don't flirt, or Alice will rip your head off!" I instructed winking at her.

"All right... wait is he like, really fit?" (I don't know if Americans say 'fit'... Please tell me if they do O.o) she asked casually. I laughed.

"I'll let you decide that because he's like my brother!" we walked the rest of the way in a comfortable silence.

I smelled Alice and Lee before I saw them. We made our way over to them. They were on a red picnic blanket under a tree with a picnic basket in the middle. "Claire! 'Bout time! Whose this?" Lee said motioning to Eve. It would of sound rude but on Lee it seemed normal.

"This is Eve. She's our roommate, and she's awesome. So be nice, kay?" I told him as we sat down.

"On my best behaviour!" Lee promised winking. "So Eve, is this Academy as boring as everyone's making it out to be?"

"Yeah it's so boring you might as well be dead!" she responded. I held back a laugh and by the looks of it Alice was too.

"I heard you've got to live with plastics?" he said with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah three of them! I don't know their names or anything but hell, their annoying!" I replied and we started eating sandwichs and crisps. "So who you living with?" I asked even though I knew the answer. Just checking Shane wasn't lying...

"Umm... Shane Collins, Michael Glass and Liam... Liam... umm... Liam something..." He said shrugging.

"Wait" Eve said wide eyes "You have to live with the populars too?" what was she going on about? The populars? Who were they? We all had confused expressions, but before I could ask Eve spoke again "Oh sorry, forgot you guys just moved here. Anyway we call them the populars because they're popular and everything. They don't hang out with normal people and they all have top brands and designer things. I personally hate them. Their Shane, Michael, Liam, Monica, Gina and Jennifer. Their all arrogant snobs!" I knew Shane would be a snob! I swallowed my disappointment. Wait. Disappointment? Why would I be disappointed? It's not like I like him or anything...


SHANE'S POV:

Me and my friends (the populars) were sat on picnic table eating. They were talking about something but I couldn't be bothered to listen. I was thinking about Claire. I couldn't love her could I? We were so different. I was popular, rich and athletic... she was goth, kept to herself, looked beautiful, was completely awesome... her eyes were stunning, her smile made me smile and her laugh made me feel so happy...

I was pulled out of my train of thoughts when I heard someone mention Claire's name. And it didn't sound like it was in a nice way either... "Monica!" Liam bellowed "I heard you cowered from the new girl! A goth aswell! What's her name... Claire?" he asked smirking. Oh god he was asking from it. SMACK. We heard. Monica kicked Liam under the table.

"SHUT UP YOU PRICK!" Monica snapped.

"Yeah Liam, why would you say that" Jennifer joined in frowning at Liam. "Anyway Claire was behind Mon, so she couldn't do anything!"

"Hey have you heard of that Lee guy?" Gina said completely off subject "Mega hottie or what?"

"Gina, Lee is Claire's friend" Jennifer said glaring.

"Really? What a waste. Anyway why don't we get back at Claire for back she did to you Mon?" Monica perked up. Oh no, no, no!

"I like the sound of that!" she said and got up, her sidekicks following. They speed walked off up to no good.

"Damn! Gotta go, i'm supposed to meet a girl" Liam said and ran off. Idiot.

"Let's go" Michael finally said. We got up and walked around campus not really heading anywhere.

A few minutes later we saw Claire and her friends. "Hey, should we warn them? I mean Claire did nothing wrong, just sticked up for her friend..." I asked Michael hopeful. He nodded and we walked over.


CLAIRE'S POV(Before Shane and Michael go over):

We were all having fun laughing and things when Eve reaches into the basket and pulls out a opaque sports bottle. Containing blood. We brought cans of coke, but one sports bottle incase we found it hard to contain ourselves infront of Eve and attack her. "What's this?" Eve asked. Oh crap. And just to make it harder the bottle started to leak blood. We all looked away because our eyes flashed red and we needed to control ourselves. God it smelt so good... I could almost taste it... slithering down my throat and warming my insides... "No" I told myself "Control yourself you fool!"... "Eww!" Eve shrieked and put the bottle down, stopping more blood being tipped.

"It's fake blood" Lee replied casually, being the first to gain control "We were going to pull a prank on the populars" God bless his lying skills.

"Oh... count me in!" Eve responded happily "Anything to annoy the skank!" we started laughing, but when I looked up Shane and Michael were standing there.

"Hey" Shane said. What was he doing here?

"Sup" Lee replied. "Where's dickhead?"

"With some girl" Michael said, a slight smile on his face. There was an awkward silence and no one knew what to do.

"Oh sorry! This is Alice my girlfriend" Lee said motioning to Alice "And my friends Claire and Eve" he said motioning to us. "Girls this is Shane and Michael, my roommates" he finished smiling.

Me and Eve nodded, Shane and Alice smiled and Michael just waved awkwardly.

"So... umm... whats up?" Lee said trying to keep the conversation flowing, but failing miserably.

"Just came to warn you" Shane said. Warn us? About what? Cafeateria food? More homework? "Monica is planning revenge" he said doing the quotation mark action "For what happened in maths"

"What happened in maths?" Lee and Alice said confused. I tried not to laugh but I couldn't help it. It just came out. They both looked at me like I was crazy.

"She pulled Monica's hair" Eve said for me. "Because she was bullying me" she added doing the action Shane did before.

"Yeah well Monica, Gina and Jennifer are after you, And usually it involves violence" Michael said "Oh and watch Gina... she's kinda crazy..."

"Wait is Gina the one I tripped up in the hall?" I asked Eve. She thought about it for a moment before replying.

"Yeah you tripped Gina in the hall and Jennifer in the kitchen" Alice and Lee laughed at this.

"Thats my girl!" Lee said proudly.

"Oh I don't know their both Melissa's robots" I said standing up.

"Monica" Eve corrected standing up.

"Whatever, anyway i'm going back to the house, you coming Eve?" I asked.

"Yeah"


So? How was it? I promise it will get better!

R&R people! :D
