YES! FINALLY!

We get down to the other main character.

I told you this chapter would be worth it :D

Chapter 4 – New

"So what are you going to do for the Talent Showcase" Taylor picked up an apple and examined it, then put it in her lunch tray.

"Not sure yet. We get to do three things right?" I asked her, looking for something edible.

"That includes the group thing. I'm thinking I'm gonna sing something and maybe a monologue." She turned to pay for her food as I grabbed an ice mocha.

"Yeah, I'm thinking of doing-" Before I could finish my sentence, someone bumped into me, spilling my mocha all over my navy blue school jumper.

"That's right, I'm just invisible. Just walk into me" I turn to see a boy I haven't seen before. His hair was black and his fringe was streaked with bright red. He was considerably handsome, if he wasn't scowling at me.

"Oh really? Because I can clearly see your big fat ego" He walked past me to pay for his lunch.

"Wait. Who are you?" I asked, a little interested but mostly annoyed. No one except for Conner ever talked to me like that.

"Customarily, you give your name first before I give mine. But that's assuming you have a trace of manners, which you clearly don't possess. So your name?" He turned around to stare me dead in the face.

"Elysia," I scowled at him.

"So you're Linda's daughter," He knows my mother? "I'm Felix," He answered. I blanched.

"Well, nice to meet you fluffy!" I grinned. He shot me a questioned look and I sighed at societies general stupidity.

"Not the brightest crayon in the box, are we? Felix the cat. You know? Anybody?" I asked around as people eyed me like intelligence was some extraterrestrial substance.

Taylor was watching me from the table, but I couldn't read her expression before Felix called my attention back.

"Sorry to burst your little ray of sunshine, but no one cares" Felix leaned back slightly with his hands in his pockets in that, I'm so cool, I come from a 70's cigarette ad. Someone walked by with a glass of water when an idea occurred to me. I chucked it in Felix's face.

"Oops, sorry. I mistook your head for a fire, and its animal cruelty to burn cats" I grinned evilly.

"What the hell?" Felix yelled. My smiled grew.

"Just doing my civil duty sir," I said walking over to Taylor.

"So then I'll see you at the Orientation party " he wagged his eyebrows at me evilly when I froze and turned around slowly, watching as he walked away. The orientation party. At my house. I stared at the empty space where he was standing. For once, I had no comeback.

The door swung back with a crash as I stormed into the house, chucking my bag into the nearest corner. I pictured myself with steam coming out of my ears and my face turning red.

"Jade Delia Robins!" I shouted as I raced to find my sister. The lounge room was empty and so was the kitchen, so I knew exactly where she was. I pushed the door to the basement open and nearly fell down the stairs as I raced down. My head whipped around from side to side as I searched for my sister, and stopped when I found her. My sister was sitting on the love seat with a boy I didn't recognize, his arm around the back of her chair as they watched Sweeny Todd. My sister turned around to look at me and stood up swiftly, almost knocking the boy over in the process as he got up with her, standing uncomfortably.

"What?" she asked innocently.

"I heard you are one of the co-conspirer to bring that filth Felix into this house! My sanctuary!" I kept my hands at my sides, clenched into fists so I wouldn't slap her as she walked towards me.

"Yeah, I was." she stated and shrugged. My anger was fading but I wasn't done telling her off when I heard someone run down the basement steps. I turned around to see Chase holding on to the rails of the stairs as he gasped for air.

"Who-is-Felix?" he heaved between breaths.

"The guy who is going to ruin the only place I can escape from the crap hole that is the world!" I knew I was being over dramatic, but I had right to. Chase automatically relaxed and walked over to the mini bar to get a soda.

"Why?" I asked Jade

"Because, you need to live a little" She tried to persuade me.

"What?" I asked, confused and irritated.

"You never bring boys over anymore, you haven't been on a date in ages and you haven't even had your first kiss yet!" she told me, counting with her fingers what was wrong with me.

"Um, I think I'm gonna go. See you later JD" the boy that Jade had been sitting with said awkwardly as he edged over to the stairs.

"Alec, wait!" Jade yelled out after him, but he was already gone. She turned around to glare at me and my instinct was to shy away from her, but I kept still, trying to keep my own.

"Look what you did! You chased Alec away" she whined to me, stamping her foot.

"Don't worry. Soon enough you'll have another Alec in here and all will be right" I snapped. I expected Jade to yell at me, but instead she grew a grin on her face. She started to look like the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland and I recognized it instantly.

"No, please no!" I backed away as I begged for mercy.
"Oh yes" Jade stalked forward and grabbed me by my arm as she dragged me upstairs to the bathroom.

"It's my turn to dress you"

I screamed silently in my head.

Okay, yes that last part is random, but Jade just uses her like a doll!

Elysia is really just that pretty.

But, anyway. I got some awesome reviews! Thanks!

But, don't let that stop you from sending more in!

(Wow, I'm like a crazy car sales man)
