The Fallen
Present Day: September
Ally's POV
I walked into history class as I made my way to my seat in the back of the classroom. Yes I was the girl who was the school's biggest nerd and biggest laughing stock. It was a proven fact, I just stopped trying to push them away and I let them walk all over me. It's not like I had a choice or anything they would expose my secrets and my embarrassing pictures, not that they don't think that my face is already embarrassing enough. I didn't have any friends, I guess it was because I was a shy person or maybe it was just me. The tardy bell rang and of course the popular students rushed inside the room, it was their schedule to come in late as if it was the new trend in their lives. "Did you finish my biology project Dawson?" Cassidy said putting her hands on her hip. She was the cheerleading squad's team captain, and for a team captain she could really hold a grudge. "Yes it's right here." I said as I opened my back pack and pulled a 4 paged essay on binominal structures and development. "Where's my name?" she said as her smile dropped. "It should be there in the right bottom corner." I said as sweetly as I could. It was hard to help someone who is only using you so they don't do any work. "Well it's not there ugh you idiot!" she said slamming it down on the table. "Everything alright ladies?" said our history teacher Mr. Randal. He was my favorite teacher, he always had a way to bring history to life in a different style. "Oh, Mr. Randal everything is just…peachy." She said gritting her teeth and glaring at me. He nodded and clapped his hands together to get the classes attention. "You better have my name on it by the end of today… we wouldn't want your little secret to get out now would we?" she said with a dark smile before flipping her hair and strutting off to front. I sighed and pulled out my binder flipping to my section for history class.
"Ok class guess what month it is?" Mr. Randal said with excitement, he would always get excited about something in this class and normally it meant a whole month of no fun in this classroom. The whole class groaned as they all knew what he was heading for. "Oh class perk up this is an exciting month! Ok so this month we are going to be learning about mythical history… a whole month about the supernatural!" he said as some of students perked up. I guess this topic was worth it if Randy the star quarterback of football team actually looked up from his phone. "What type of supernatural stuff are you inquiring?" he asked suspiciously. Mr. Randal smiled as he finally grabbed the student's attention for once. "The principle suggested Greek and Roman times." He said with fascination. "What's so mythical about a bunch of people in bad looking skirts got to do with the supernatural?" Cassidy asked and of course had to say something mean. "That's what you think but there were also Greek and Roman gods that roamed the Heavens." He said as if it was a fact. Which it obviously wasn't, gods weren't real and there was no such thing as flying shoes or people with stupid powers… I mean Hercules someone who could lift for example the empire state building was that strong…as if. I raised my hand shyly, "Mr. Randal this topic is highly irrelevant to what we're supposed to be learning in history, I mean history is facts mythical creatures and the supernatural have nothing to do with this." I said matter-of-factly. "Yes Ms. Dawson you are right but learning mythical things can change the way you look at things in history… in the end of this unit I want you to compare it to real history. Compare and contrast." He said smiling at me. "But Mr. Randal there is nothing to compare with it, it's all fake and our history is partly real unless it's a false statement of course. If you weigh it out supernatural has nothing on actual history." I said. It was pretty obvious that history outweighed mythical creatures I think the whole class new that…well some. "You'd be surprised Ms. Dawson how many things aren't different from our history." He said as he passed out text books. "Flip to page 219." He said as someone knocked on the door. He gave us a confused look before walking over to the door and opening it. I only saw a blonde patch of hair but as he moved closer it came into full view. He was tall 6 feet possibly but nothing higher. He had blonde hair and as he looked up his eyes were a dark brown. He was lean and muscular and wore dark blue jeans with yellow converses and a plaid colored shirt with a tank top in view.
"This is are new student, what was your name again?" Mr. Randal asked. "My names Austin Moon." He said to the class. "Ok well you can sit in the empty seat right next to Ms. Dawson." I mentally screamed. I don't think I want to sit by someone like him he seems like he will easily be roped into the popular crew. He came over with his stuff and dropped it on the ground. "Here's a textbook." Mr. Randal said as he gave Austin a textbook. He looked at my page number and flipped to the exact same page. "We're learning about mythical gods." I whispered, I don't know why but a sudden spark of confidence ignited inside me. "Why are we talking about gods?" he whispered back not taking his eyes off Mr. Randal as he began reading the page. "I don't know but it's completely stupid." I said, at least someone believes how unrealistic this really is. "Well it's not all stupid it seems pretty cool if you ask me." He said smiling. "Wait you believe in gods?" I asked…why do I have to say things too soon? "I didn't say I believed in gods I said it wasn't as stupid as you think it is." He said emphasizing each word as if I was a 5 year old. I gave him a confused stare as Mr. Randal closed the textbook and the bell rang for lunch. Wait I didn't even hear a single word he was saying because I was talking to Austin. "For homework write 1 paragraph of summing all of it up into to just ONE body paragraph only…I don't want anything about iron man on the paper…again." He said staring intensely at Randy. He held a guilty expression and gathered his things quickly running out of the room. I started to panic I have never missed any of my homework I'm too young to start now! So I decided to go up to Mr. Randal, "Hello um would you mind if I took the textbook home with me?" I asked sweetly. "I'm sorry but that book is school property and it means you cannot take it home with you." He said apologetically. "But Mr. Randal." I said trying to reason with him, it was just one little book it's not like I was going to throw it out a window or something. "I'm sorry Ally were you even listening to what I was saying?" he said eyeing me careful. I looked around the room and breathed deeply, "Of course I was, I'm sorry bye." I said walking out of the classroom. I walked down the halls and opened the doors to the cafeteria, the smell of mystery meat made me gag so I decided not to get the main meal this time.
I grabbed an apple and a fruit cup along with some strawberry milk and paid the lunch lady before walking out into the crowd. I saw Cassidy and her popular crew come over to me and I made a bee line for the doors but she stepped in front of me before I got the chance to escape. "Hello Dawson." Kira one of Cassidy's crew members said. "I saw you flirting with the new transfer student." Cassidy suddenly blurted out. I could see the rage and jealousy in her eyes and it was as if she wanted to rip my head off of my neck. "I was not flirting with him we were just having a simple conversation about the subject of history." I said calmly since it was so easy for Cassidy to lose her temper. "As if I'm going to believe that." she said scoffing. What was it going to take for her to get off my back, she never minds her own business. "Can I go now?" I said trying to hold back annoyance. "You know what…here you go." She said handing me a stack of papers. "What is all of this?" I asked trying to balance it on my arms. "It's my homework…since I am in all honors classes I'm going to need extra hands my parents expect good grades from me." She said with conceiving tone. "But I can't do all this I have a project on conjunctions and proper nouns due by Thursday!" I said as she turned on her heels. "Have fun with that!" she said as she walked away. I groaned in frustration as I walked over to an empty lunch table and dropped all my things on the table. I opened my milk carton hoping that it would freeze the pounding headache in my head. I grabbed my pencil out of my binder and started on Cassidy's homework. I've forgotten why I even do this stuff for her it makes no sense. "Looks like you've got a lot of homework on your plate." Said a voice, I turned around to see Austin. Does he have to follow me he already causes me enough trouble. "Yeah it's best if you just let me get to it and leave." I said as nicely as possible. "Ya know…" he said ignoring my complaint and sitting right down next to me. "Cassidy seems like a witch." He said taking a bite out of his apple. "You just noticed it?" I asked in a duh tone. "Look Austin it was nice chit chatting with you but I really have to get to work." I said as nicely as I could. "You mean Cassidy's homework?" he said smirking. I felt anger boiling inside me, "I don't mean to piss you off or anything it's just you already got enough on your plate with our paragraph on how some humans actually believed in mythical creatures." He said taking a sip of his drink. "Yeah but I don't even know what were supposed to write because we were tal-…wait how did you know that he was talking about that when you were talking to me?" I said suspiciously. It was almost impossible to concentrate on what he was saying and what I was saying at the same time. "I'm a strong listener." He said and I could sense he was getting a bit tense. "Look I've got to go bye." He said getting up from the table as I saw him walk out of the cafeteria. That was…strange. The question still lingered inside my mind when I realized I still had to finish her homework. I groaned once again and got back to work.
