Silver Blood

VJL (Victoria, Jane, Lauren)

Victoria, Jane, Lauren were sitting in second period, ignoring the teacher. Jane, as she often was, was pissed and ranting. "Look at that new girl." Jane whispered vehemently. "Nothing is special about her, except she has those bandages around her head now. So why is Alec being so nice to her?"

"Brother complex." Victoria mumbled to Luaren.

"It doesn't matter, she's a nobody." Luaren said.

"Jane, if you want to find out about her, just do it." Victoria said. "This jealousy thing is out of control."

"We already showed her the first week that we run things." Luaren said exasperated. "She wouldn't go after your brother."

"There's just something about her that I don't like." Jane continued.

"That she's a higher cup size than you?" Lauren said. She and Victoria giggled. Jane narrowed her eyes at them.

"I'll see what's up with her." Victoria said, standing up. "Don't want little Jane to lose her head."

Victoria took her work and sat next to Bella, who looked at her surprised. "You're the new girl, right?"

"Yeah. I'm Bella."

"Short for Isabella?" Victoria asked. "That's a great name. So, it looks like you're really good at this trig stuff."

"I don't know that I'm that good." Bella replied.

"Well, do you think we could work on this together?" Victoria smiled. "I know we weren't very nice to you your first week, but it wasn't personal. Around here people are sort of cautious to transfers, so we leave new kids alone in the beginning. I think this would be a great chance to be friends."

"Sure." Bella said.

After class, Victoria returned to her friends. "She has a brother named Benjamin."

"We knew that already." Jane said sarcastically.

"We didn't know his name or hers, for that face. Isabella, by the way."

"Anything interesting?" Luaren asked.

Victoria frowned and flipped her hair over her shoulder. "This girl is a turtle. Seriously in a shell. I couldn't get anything out of her."

"Poor Jane." Luaren said. "Maybe you'll just have to start talking to her brother."

"Maybe I will." Jane grumbled.

Suddenly, two pairs of arms lifted Victoria into the air. "Felix, you idiot!" She yelled. "I'm wearing a skirt."

"Felix, you're hot." Lauren said as he put Victoria down.

Felix smirked. "Have you just noticed?"

Lauren rolled her eyes. "I mean your skin. Do you have a fever?"

"He's always this hot." Victoria said as if that was an explanation.

"What are you girls up to?" Felix asked.

"What are you up to, night class-er?" Victoria hit him on his chest lightly.

"You know why." Felix devoured her neck with kisses as he said this.

"Get a room." Luaren said to them.

"I plan to." Felix smirked, picking Victoria up.

"Hey, where'd Jane go?" Victoria asked.

Jane marched into her chemistry class and straight to the back of the room where her lab partner Chelsea was.

"What's wrong, now?" Chelsea asked as Jane approached.

"I need you to help me." Jane said in low voice.

"What kind of help?" Chelsea asked skeptically.

"Wiccan help."

Victoria was in Felix's dorm room, brushing out her hair. Felix watched her from his bed.

"I think I missed all of third period." she said to herself.

"Wasn't it worth it?" He asked.

She smiled and kissed him before leaving his dorm room. She went to lunch and sat at her usual table. Jane was smiling her normal trouble-making smile, Lauren looking off at another table. No one bothered to wonder what she was looking at.

"Heard you got cozy with Felix." Jane smiled. "You just can't keep him out of you, can you?"

"Shut up." Victoria said to Jane.

"How is it?" Lauren asked.

"What?" Victoria questioned.

"I said, how was it?" Lauren repeated, turning to her. "You're always going off to do it, so you should be able to judge by now."

"I think you answered your own question." Jane smiled. "She keeps going off to do it."

"Whatever." Victoria ignored them. "Anyhow, I think I'm going to keep talking to the new girl."

"Perfect!" Jane smiled.

"Who knows." Luaren added. "Maybe there will be something fun that'll come out of this."

"Or we might actually like her." Victoria said, causing all three girl to laugh.
