Entry Thirty-Six
I don't even know how to describe today, so I'll just skip to the part when I talk about what exactly happened.
When I first got to school, the first thing I did was look around for Ash. I couldn't find him, which kinda worried me. Ash is always there, just waiting for me. I sighed and decided that he was probably off talking to Nate again. Glob knows how much those two are going to be hanging out now.
Anyways, I brushed off the fact that he wasn't there and went straight to my first class. Normally I'd be okay with it, because Ash was always next to me. But it looked like I'd have to suffer through class alone today. The first thing I noticed when I walked into the room was Bailey and her sisters. Behind them were Belle and Moon and Juan. They were all glaring at me. I took a deep breath and walked past them to my seat in the back of the room. I dunno what happened to them, but I know that they aren't the people they were a long time ago. With a sigh I pulled out my notebook and opened to a fresh page and waited for the teacher to come in.
Only the dog who walked in was not our teacher. Nope, we had a substitute.
Let the fun begin.
"Listen and listen good," the dog barked. "My name is Penelope Scott. I'm a good friend of your teacher's, and I know who all of you are, where you sit, and who you talk to. If you try anything just because I'm a sub, I will know, and you will get in trouble."
Aw. No fun. Too bad.
Class was long. And boring. I don't like that lady. She's kinda mean. Very, very pretty (I actually found myself wishing I could look like her), but also mean.
When lunch rolled around, I sat alone. It reminded me of the first day I saw Ash. I was sitting alone when a new guy walked into the room, dressed all in black, sharp, long fangs sticking out from his mouth... Bah, you've already heard that bit. Back somewhere in the first couple pages I think.
Then she came over. There's a girl in school named Veronica. She's never really had any friends, but it's never seemed to bother her. She's basically a punching bag all through high school. Everyone seems to make fun of her just because her hair is short and bright red and because she isn't a thousand pounds underweight like a few of the other girls. Personally, I've always thought that she's kinda cute.
ANYWAYS. She looked over and saw me sitting alone. I can't be sure what made her decided to do it, but she walked right over and sat down next to me. She looked down at her tray and whispered, "Hi."
I smiled. "Hey."
She looked over at me. "You don't mind if I sit here, do you? I just... I saw that you were alone and ever since Ash moved here you're never alone so I thought I'd come sit with you so you wouldn't have to be alone, but if you want me to leave just tell me and I'll go," she said quickly.
I chuckled. "Of course you can sit here. I don't mind. Actually, I think it'd be kinda cool for us to be friends."
And for the first time since she came to this school, she smiled and her eyes lit up. I knew I'd just made her day.
As it turns out, we actually have quite a bit in common. So I guess we're friends now. I'm not sure--I have no idea how she feels about me. But she seems to like me, sooo....
So after school I decided to go to the library. When I got there I made a mental note to buy a loaf of bread and feed the ducks in the pond behind the building. Once inside, I went straight to my favorite shelf and began looking for something that I hadn't read yet. I found one that looked promising, so I grabbed it and went to the front desk. I checked it out and then went to sit at one of the tables to start reading. I wasn't ready to go home. Not yet.
Something possessed me to look up. When I looked, one of Renn's buddies was standing at the opposite end of the table, staring at me. I sighed and laid the book down. He half-smiled.
"Hello there. Where'd your wings go, hmm?"
I sighed again and rolled my eyes. "What? Can't a girl go back on a decision?" Nobody needed to know that some girl but a spell on me so no one that wasn't included in the spell could see them.
He shrugged and sat down. I watched as he pulled something from his jacket pocket and slid it across the table to me. I took it from him, curious as to what the heck it could be. It was a piece of paper.
And I quote:
"We know who you are. You're going to go against Bleu. Yes, that's right. We know Bleu. And we know all about you. If you think we'll let you get close to him, you're sadly mistaken. We'll kill you before you kill him. And trust me when I say that that is the truth. We can hurt you and we can hurt you bad. Heck, we don't even need to kill you. No, there's worse things we could do. And you don't want to know what they are. So don't even try to lay a paw on him. We know where you sleep."
When I looked up, he was gone.
