Everywhere suddenly became quiet, as if the music was fading. I forcefully broke free from the anonymous strong grip and turned to see who it was. Surprisingly, it was Jesse, and he had the same weird black eyes as the other guy. "Jesse?" I asked almost in a whisper, slowly moving backwards. His eyes gradually returned to normal. "What the heck are you doing up here?" he asked, alarmed, peering through the walls to see if the scary guy had stepped out. Consumed with fear, I asked with a trembling voice, "What the fuck are you, and who was that?" "The guy you saw is Nemus," he replied. "He's a vampire." Stunned, I looked at him, unable to process what I had just heard. I asked, "A vam... pire?"
It's a new day, the end of summer, the beginning of the second semester. I just got admitted to Caveroop High School in Caveroop Town; what a weird place, but it was the only place that accepted me anyway.
I stood at the school entrance, dressed in black jeans, a blue T-shirt, and blue sneakers. The school was big and a bit old-fashioned. I breathed in and out, put on my headphones, took my luggage out of the taxi and went in.
It's a new day, in a new school, in a new town, with no familiar faces. How bad can this get? At least my past has no way of haunting me here. It feels like I'm on a different planet. What better place to start over than in a new town where nobody knows your name?
Down the hall, the tune of the music was starting to get into my head as I began to walk to the vibe before I bumped into this guy...
"Hey, you okay?" He asked helping me up as I picked up my mini bag and held onto my box.
"I'll be fine" I replied with a smile.
"New here?" He asked looking at me a bit weird
"Yeah," I answered trying to sound welcoming
"Well then, you better head down to the hall; they're having an orientation; it's going to be long and boring,", he said, and I chuckled "Else you wanna escape with me, let me give you the early tour of our campus" He smiled, which brought out his beauty. I could see his blue eyes hiding underneath his brown hair. He was good-looking and had a nice stature. "What ya say?"
"Erm... Thanks, but since I'm new here, I kinda want to attend the orientationn,n," I said with a smile.
Surprised, he looked at me weirdly and said,
"Weird, a lot of people would agree to the chance of escaping orientations, but you... You seem interesting"
Oh no, that's how my nightmare started back in Oxville, I'm not going to let it happen again
"I hope not," I said and was about to leave before he held me back and said
"Leaving so soon? Come on, at least let me know your name"
"I'm Terra" I replied "Terra Tunes"
"Oh, double T, mind if I called you double T?"
"Call me whatever you want," I said and left for the hall.
The hall was huge and filled with many students. I swallowed up and walked in. I took a seat next to a girl who looked unusual, which was not what I expected.
After the long, boring speech, we all retired to our dorms. I have to admit, the dude was right, the orientation was dull.
I walked through the different rooms in the girls' hostel, our names were on the doors of each room. I saw my name on one door, and underneath it was another name: Pink Spencer.
I opened the door and walked in. There was already a girl inside, my roommate, I guess. She has pink hair, is fairly beautiful, average in height, and has golden eyes. Weird, right? Her side of the room was all pink, and I was sensing a bee alert.
"Howdy roomie," she said nicely and came over to greet me.
"You are Pink?" I asked and she nodded cheerfully.
"And you must be Terra, how nice to meet you," she said and we both shook hands
I put my bag down on the other side of the room and sat down on the bed, it was soft and comfortable.
"New here? Lucky, you have me; I'll teach you everything you need to know," she said in between giggles as she helped me unpack.
We spent the whole day unpacking and decorating my side of the room. She bought us fries and a milkshake afterwards, and we spent the rest of the day talking about stuff and getting to know each other.
The fact about her is that she's popular and it's going to be hard to lose this one.
The next day, I freshened up and got ready for class.
"Nerd alert," Pink said when she spotted me from the bathroom and laughed
I shook my head and asked,
"Is that a bad thing?"
"Well, no," she said coming out of the bathroom "but if you Want to be the centre of attention, then you've got a lot to learn"
"What if, I don't want to be," I said and she laughed out loud
"Nonsense, every girl wants to stand out and be admired; we all want to be the centre of attention; that's just our nature", she said,d, drying her body with a small pink towel. "And lucky you, you've got me".
She went to her wardrobe to Look for something nice to wear and she brought for me too
On seeing it, I declined saying
"Than, ks I like what I'm putting on"
"Oh, Terra, if I'm to be seen with you, you must be nicely dressed", she said and handed me the clothes, urging me to wear them.
After much thought, I put them on.
"Now we look good" Pink said as we both stood before the huge mirror at the centre of the room.
We walked down the hallway in slow motion as we caught the attention of everyone in the hall before a very beautiful and elegant young lady, fair in complexion and average in height, stepped u,p, and they hugged each other.
"There you are", she whooped; She wore a yellow crop top, black baggy trousers, and a pair of white sneakers.
When they were done complimenting each other, Pink introduced me to her
"This is Terra Tunes, my new roommate" Then she turned to face me, "Terra, my best friend, Clary"
"Clarissa Broadway ma'am but call me Clary" she said as we shook hands, "nice meeting you Terra"
"You too," I said with a faint smile
"Hey, girls!" Another girl came by, placing her hands over Pink and Clary's shoulder; she had short dark blue hair and seemed a bit off.
"Hey Eska" they both hugged her
"I thought you transferred," Pink asked as Eska smirked
"Oh, how words fly, well, not until next month, dad's still running a few contracts, who's the new kid"
"Oh that's Terra," Clary replied "Pinks new roommate"
"Hello" we shook hands
After their little get-together, we head to class.
We were having math class, and I sat close to Clary in the third row. There were only a few people in the class. I tried to concentrate, but I couldn't help but notice Clary popping her bubblegum right in my face. Then someone tapped me from behind, smiling. It was the guy I had met yesterday, damn, he was in the same class as me.
"Hey, DT", he waved at me.
Confused, Clary asked,
"DT?"
"Yeah, it means double T," the guy said with a smile "because she has two Ts in her name"
"Seriously, you've started with the nickname Zack", Clary sneered.
I signed; I'm gonna have a hard time ditching these two.
When the class was over, we headed to the school cafeteria; there, we saw Pink and Eska already waiting for us.
I sat between Pink and Eska putting my food on the table
"So, how was the class today, roomie?" Pink asked, sipping her milkshake as I just nodded a reply, already munching my noodles.
"Someone's hungry" Clary chuckled as she began to eat her fries slowly.
"Hey, do you guys know that Zack and Terra have already met?" Clary broke out and Eska smirked and asked,
"Surprised?"
Clary nodded then Eska said;
"He's a people person, he knows everyone and everyone knows him,"
"No wonder he's the social perfect" Clary muttered
"And he has a super cute brother," Pink said and held my shoulder "he plays basketball, I'll introduce you to him after school"
On hearing this, I nearly choked, I grabbed the orange juice near me and drank to my satisfaction then turned Pink,
"I don't think that is necessary," I said with a small, weak voice
"Nonsense, you're gonna love him", she said, and I knew it was rather pointless dragging with her, so much for flying solo.
