I sighed as I opened the locker up, placing my books inside. I liked the school and all, but it was some of the kids that were there, the "popular" kids were the ones buggin' her. They thought that they were the high and almighty ones, while anyone below or didn't agree with their rules, where bloody slaves. I learned this the hard way when I spoke to a boy whom I thought seemed like a nice kid. I ended up getting yelled at by some prissy little snob of a girl.

"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!" A screech issued from behind me, I winced and turned to face the queen of prissiness.

"No." Was my answer to her question, a small smile piping up onto my face. The girl started to fume even more, causing a girl next to and smaller than both of us in size, to scrunch up, hoping to not be seen. Her eyes landed on her.

"Yes, you little worm! COWER! Cower like the coward you are!" The girl screeched again, causing the little teen to flinch. I glared daggers at her and grabbed her shoulder. "Unhand me you cretin!" The queen of prissiness hissed, wheeling on me(ha-ha she is now dubbed the Queen of Prissiness)

"Rack off ya show pony! It's bad enough that you pick on me, but this defenseless shelia? That isn't right!" I told her with an edge to my voice. She whipped out of my grip and raised her fist to punch me. I held my arm's up in defense, but the punch never came. I peeked though the gap were my arms met and saw a boy, my age, holding back the girls arm and giving the queen of prissiness a hard glare.

"I don't know who the bloody hell you are, but you better not be picking on that shelia right there." He growled, I took note of how angry his emerald eyes looked past the semi long grey blue hair. The snob looked up at him in shock. "Now I want you to leave these girls alone," He put his face very close to hers, "Or ya deal with me." The girl nodded. The boy let her go and she scampered away. I laughed at the sight of her overly large pants(I think she thought they were attractive, well they ain't girl) going over her feet and causing her to trip.

"Serves her right." I say and look at the little teen that he and I had defended. Her Sky blue eyes wide with bright hope and brilliant wonder. I smiled, "You ok mate?" I asked her. Her red hair bobbed up and down with her head. I chuckled and put her hair up with the hair elastic that I had on my wrist. "There, now ya can see ya going." I told her in light amusement. She giggled, got up and went to her next class. Then I turned the guy. "And thank you for standin' up for me." I told him, hand rubbing the back of my head. He smiled. "Names Zoey by the way, Zoey Wellson. What's yours?" I asked him, hand out to shake his. Suddenly he seemed a little taken back about something.

"Ahhh." He started, eyes suddenly wide with worry. I raised an eyebrow, wondering if he was nervous. I also took the moment of his stall to study him. Tall, lithe build, blue grey hair spiked sort of like mine, only it looked like he had ears. His clothes were a little big, but they fit fine, I did notice that he was muscular, not very, but enough to make him look. A sudden flush came to my face when I realized that others where watching us. "Aster Williams!" He blurted, causing me to look up at him in confusion.

"Huh?"

"Aster Williams is my name…" He repeated looking a little bit nervous. I smiled at him.

"Well then Aster, where ya from?"

"Australia." He replied to me. I grinned even more, telling him that I had just moved from Australia. That seemed to peck him up a little more. Soon, we both headed to class, which ironically, we had all of the same classes.

Jack Frost looked worriedly at North, who was trying to get a hold on Bunny. "Anything?" Jack asked him when North put down the red ornament. North shook his head no.

"Where could he have gone? Its not like Bunny to just leave.." North muttered, Jack looked around at his fellow guardians. Tooth was busy telling her fairy's were to go to collect teeth. Sandy wasn't there, for he was busy giving good dreams to the children of the world. Jack remembered how he just tossed Jack the egg that he was working on and went off somewhere. Where could he have gone?

I was grinning like a fool, that's for sure. Even though its been almost thirteen years since I last saw her, she was a mere little ankle-bitter. Now I was falling head over heels about her! I shook my head, trying to concentrate my mind on the lecture the teacher was giving us. My eyes on the other hand, kept wondering to Zoey. She was very pretty… By my standards that is. I looked at my hand, flexing my fingers. Its so weird being human. But then I remembered what it was like to change to human form…

"Ya sure this will work Sandy?" I asked the small golden man who had just given me a jar of what looked like ruby red sand. He nodded, images flashing over his head. "Yes, just be sure to follow the instructions." Sandy waved goodbye to me, going about to do his job. Carefully, I took the jar of red sand to the small house that I had in the Warren. I looked around at the messy room in which I'd entered. The work desk was completely covered in different sizes of paint brushes and many jars of paint lay upon the messy desk. I took it to the bedroom, small but cozy enough for me. I set the jar down on the stand that I had in my room. Grapping the interactions to the sand, I quickly went through the list, chuckling at some of the things that were listed on the piece of paper. "Well then…. Better keep this- Wait there are side effects?! Damnit.." I eyed the side effects warily, knowing that this could arise problems. I quickly measured out what I thought would be enough to change me. "Ok….. Here goes…" I say, pouring the sand over my head, flattening my ears so that it would be easier to pour. I scrunched my eyes shut, not wanting to get sand in them. After a second, I opened an eye. I was facing a mirror. No changes whatsoever.

"Damnit…" I growled in light frustration. I thought that the sand would have worked its magic quicker. Sighing, I left the room, only to promptly trip and fall on my face. Cursing, I flipped myself over to see what the bloody hell had caused me to trip! I froze, eye's suddenly wide. "M-m-m-my feet… What the bloody hell?!" I stuttered, shocked at what I was seeing. My feet, were changing to a humans foot. Pain suddenly shots up my back, forcing me to arch and curl into a little ball. Once again, I scrunched my eyes close, hoping that the pain would pass quickly. It did, to my relief, but it had left me curled up on the floor for a while. I was finally able to stand up, as a result of being on the floor for so long, my legs were a little wobbly. I went back to the mirror. I was completely human.
