During all of class that day I kept thinking about Jace and Dimitri. I couldn't help making comparisons. I mean Jace is sweet, but Dimitri was sexy. Jace is a boy and Dimitri's a man. I liked them both. I couldn't have two guys (well I could, but it would cause problems).
I looked all over the classroom of first hour, and it had poster's saying that the Winter Dance was coming up even though the school year just started. I needed a dress and shoes and my hair needs to be done and a mani and pedi and I just need a girlfriend to help me out.
"Tessa, there you are! So tell me everything! The tunnels? How were they?" It was Amethyst. She left her jacket un done and her white shirt had two undone buttons, so that people (boys) could see her cleavage. Her blonde hair was pulled into a high pony-tail and it bounced with her steps.
"Good. Kind of creepy. Hey I wanted to ask if you were going with anyone to snowball?"
"Yeah I am. David Shrubb asked me and I said yes! Why? Do you want to double date?" she was going with David? The David that kept cussing at breakfast?
"Umm sure. I just need some one to help me with my hair and maybe my nails?"
"Oh I would love to, but only if you help me with mine." the bell rang and I nodded. She turned back around and I saw Jace staring at me.
"Okay class. We are going to continue with extinct Immortals. And I have a guest speaker who is going to tell us about how her grandfather died in the war between the Vampires. I would like to welcome Sherry Hamilton." the cass clapped as Sherry walked in. I was shoked that she would actually come in. I thought she wanted this to be a secret.
"Hello class, I am Sherry and I am said to be the last person on this earth to have Floaters blood. I wanted to talk to you about Floaters. As you know they can lift things with there minds, but also humans or heavier objects that they wouldn't be able to lift with there bare hands. My grandfather always liked lifting me high in the air as a baby. If I lost my kite in a tree he would lift me up so I would be able to get it. Any questions?"
Some boy in the back raised his hand. "Yes?"
"If you have Floaters blood, why arn't you able to float like your grandfather?"
"Good question. Sometimes if your born from a Immortal you might not take on there abilities. Any more questions?"
The class went on and on, but i wasn't paying attention. I just couldn't grasp that Sherry would almost expose herself.
The class ended and Amethyst grabbed my arm for the next class. And I saw Sherry wink at me when I walked away.
We walked into 's class for elements and I took a seat by Amethyst.
"Well Tessa, please don't try to make us fall asleep today. I would like to teach you something." I nodded and looked all the way on the other side of Amethyst. David was there try not to laugh. He was holding hands and flipped me off when no one was looking. I reatched behind Amethyst and hurridley thumped in the back of the head when the teacher had her back turned.
"Okay class everyone stand up and move the desks to the edge of the room." We all stood up and moved the desks then went to form a line at the front of the class.
"Now everyone has a certain element in there blood. There's Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Spirit. Now Spirit is not a common element so don't be surprised if no one has Spirit. Now in the pupil, or the black spot, you have a certain misty color. If you have Air it will be yellow. Fire is red, Water is blue, green is Earth, and silver is Spirit. Now when I get to you just try not to blink." She went around the room and made them all stare at her she would tell them there element and then they would get in a group. Amethyst surprisingly got Spirit and I was so proud of her. She came to me and stared at my eyes for what seemed like forever, then finally got up and sighed.
"Tessa you can go sit in that chair and watch for today, but I want you to see me at the end of class." she walked away and started towards the Water group. I went to the chair and put my head in my hands. I heard a meow and Dreamer came into the classroom and towards me. I picked her up and watched the water people take a glass of water and make the water turn into a necklace and belts and earrings.
"Why am I so different Dreamer?"
"Me! Me!" I laughed at how she tried to meow.
"Maybe your right. Maybe it is you. Ha!" Dreamer was purring and licking my ear.
After she went to fire and water and air and earth she told me and Amethyst to meet her after school.
After 3rd and 4th hour I went to lunch with Sori and Amethyst. They were talking about the Winter Dance and how they couldn't wait for us all to go because apparently Sori has a date too. We ate tacos and they were so much better than at our old school. I ate in silence just listening to there chatter and how David kept coming closer to me and farther away from Amethyst. He got so close to me that I punched him in the stomach which sent him hurtling into Amethyst and Sori. And they all went into the table and knocked over my taco. Thanks Guys!
"Tessa, what in the hell is wrong with you?!" Sori spat at me. I didn't even know I had the strength to push more then one person into a table were they knock off my food!
"What is going on here?!" it was Ebrus. He was standing with the guards that were always around the school doing what they do, but I haven't seen Ebrus in so long. He didn't look like himself. His hair was messed up and he had dark circles under his eyes. "I'm not in the mood with anyone's crap."
I closed my eyes and thought about the people in the school sleeping there cute little heads off. Just not snoring because that would be annoying. Then I thought about making a shield so I don't have to deal with anyone's lame dream. I thought about Ebrus being wide awake.
I opened my eyes to see people sleeping soundlessly. I looked over at my friends to see Amethyst laying over David and Sori was lying on her back looking very happy. I heard the cat's complaining about there humans sleeping.
Ebrus was standing there wide eyed and he looked like he was about to punch me in the face.
"I just want to talk in privet. And I thought this would be the easiest to do it. Now why do you look like hell?"
"It's because of Lissa the council decided to sacrifice her even though I fought my hardest."
"Lissa? She's still here? Can you take me to her?"
"Sure, but make sure the whole building is asleep." I could tell that know one was going to wake up in a long time. "Follow me." We walked out of the Lunch room and we went to the stairs. We kept waling down further and further until we saw that they stopped and there was a door that said forbidden to all students. He swiped a card and pulled the door open for me.
When I walked in I saw millions of cages and the room was gray. It was dark until Ebrus flipped a switch.
"GET ME OUT OF THIS HELL HOLE NOW!!!!" someone screamed.
"Lissa?"
"Ebrus is that you?"
"It's also Tessa. Were here to rescue you."
At the very back of the huge cages was a small one with a skinny naked girl with ratty hair in the cage. Her eyes were so life-less and she looked so weak. She looked better in the green house, which is saying something.
"Oh my god! Lissa what did they do to you?"
"I haven't eaten since two days ago. They only feed me every other day. Please get me out!"
With that Ebrus unlocked the cage and Lissa sprinted from the cage and into my arms. I hugged her tight and tried to not be moved by her smell.
"Tessa you don't look like yourself. You look a lot curvier." I laughed.
"Okay no time to discus this. Were are we putting her?" Ebrus said trying to push us out the door.
"My room, she can wear my clothes. Sherry can bring her food and she can take a shower up there. She can stay there until we figure out how were going to brake you out of here." Ebrus carried Lissa up the 45 flights of stairs and I almost passed out when we hit my room.
"Tessa, are you okay?" Lissa asked when she sat me on my bed.
"Oh yeah I'm great." I said sarcastically. "Go to the door and find something you can wear. Just don't wear the uniform."
"O my god, your closet is huge!" I laid on my bed and made myself pass out.
A/N: Okay I just want to point out a funny thing my mom caught reading my story.
If you go back to chapter 7 were Dreamer gets scarred to death that she jumps out the window.
Well if you think about it, Tessa is on the 45th floor. Sure cats land on there feet, but hey that's a little much.
He-he.
If you find funny mistakes in A Life Well Lived, Review it to me!!!
Because I laughed forever with my mom. And I want more laughter!
Luv,
