Hey!!!!! So this is my FIRST EVER STOREH AND IM SO EXCITED IF YOU CANT TELL. Im not sure how far this story will go. Usually, when Im writing a story I think of a new one and start writing that one...

HOPE U LIKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

*Serena's POV*

A slap of a ruler awakens me from my daydream.

"Miss Hope!!" Mrs. Grinch barks "Homework. Now."

I grin up at her as I take out the 500 word essay.

"Here Mrs. Grinch." I say as I had it to her. She scans it quickly, then smiles.

"Bright as always Miss Hope. But that doesn't mean you can daydream in my class. Back to work." She moves on to the person behind me, her scowl returning.

I feel people stare. A smile from Mrs. Grinch is rare. I continue my work, as though the smile never happened and the moody Mrs. Grinch had always been there.

"Hey Serena." A girly, high pitched voice whispers. I groan as I twist around to find Macy Cameron sitting behind me.

"What do you want?" I hiss softly.

Her voice lowers "I was wondering if you wanted to come to... Uh... Sleepover at my house? Like, every girl in sophomore year going to be there" I almost laugh thinking of why she wanted me there.

I remember the last time a girl asked me to a sleepover. It was in late spring of my freshman year and I was as I was now; lame and unwanted. I thought that they actually wanted me to go. It was at Macy’s cabin in Mt. Mansfield. There was a small lake right behind the cabin. We all sleep on not so comfy mattresses. I was actually having fun. We laughed at peoples ex’s, ate a lot of popcorn, had many pillow fights and we talked the whole time. I even trusted them with telling them my crush. Now, I have to tell you, I'm not a deep sleeper. I will wake up to the smallest movement. But these girls – about 7 of them – thought I wouldn’t wake up to them moving me and my mattress on the lake. They were halfway there, dragging my lifeless body on the lumpy mattress, when I woke up and realized what was happening I jumped up and ran away. They were laughing and giggling as I did. Being so humiliated, I decided to call my mom. I thought the night would finally be over.

Boy, was I wrong. My mom, who had been drinking that night, came to the campsite drunk. She said some nasty words to the girls and almost took home another girl. Who, I might add, looks nothing like me.

That night they posted on Facebook my crush and a video of my mom, which someone had gotten. Ever since, I was even more of an unwanted loser. Everyone made fun of me, even the nerds. Do you know how low you must be for nerds to mess with you?

The pointing and laughing died over the summer and people leave alone mostly. Except Macy’s friends. Macy came into this school this year so she’s not as mean.

"Why? So I can do everyone's homework?" I laugh quietly. "Or maybe so you can play pranks on me when I'm asleep and post it on Facebook? No thanks." I turn around but not before I hear her gasp. I smirk to myself and feel slightly confident.

The bell rings and I race for the door. Right before I make it I hear Mrs. Grinch call my name. I curse in my head as I make my way over.

"Miss Hope," She says once I got there. "I have a special assignment. There is a new boy joining Little Salem High School tomorrow and Mr. Hamson and I want you to show him around."

I curse some more. Not what I expected. A new guy? Probably like the rest. Shit. "Why me? Why not a guy?" I ask.

She sighs. "Because I don't trust anyone else. You are my best student, Miss Hope. Your future is bright. And maybe," she pause and lowers her voice “I was hoping you would rub off on him. I don't need another Charlie McDonnell in my class." I laugh slightly, not sure if it was a joke or not.

"Ok." I mumble. "I'll do it."

"Great! Now go." She shoos me off as I run to my locker. Hopefully Carrie and Charlie wont be-

Shit.

There in front of my locker, was Carrie École making out with Charlie. Carrie was up against my locker as Charlie pinned her there. Every day I try to avoid this, but I guess today was not my day.

I walk up to them, preparing for loads of embarrassment.

I tap Charlie's shoulder lightly. They stop kissing and turn to glare at me.

"What?" Carrie sneered.

I motion to my locker hidden under her shirt. "My locker?" I whisper.

"Oh yeah, I forgot." She says, acting innocent. She smiles coldly and moves herself and Charlie to the next locker.

I quickly switch my books just as the bell rings. Everyone disperses except for me and Carrie.

She just stares at me, her head slightly cocked. Her green eyes dance and sparkle, along with her golden hair. I almost envy her. But I quickly make my face lose all emotion before she can see.

"What are you playing at Serena?" She finally speaks.

"What?" What could I possibly do? Break up her little make out session?

Carrie just laughs. "Don't act dumb. Why are you trying to separate me and Charlie? Do you want him for yourself?" She growls.

This time I'm shocked. Charlie is a jackass, especially to me, why the hell would I want him?

"Carrie what the hell are you talking about? Charlie is a jackass and I would never want him. And why would I want you apart?" I question her.

In a second she is in my face, her face red. "Just stay away from him And if you ever try to tear us apart I will ruin you. Got it?." She growls. She turns and stalks away, leaving me in confusion.

*Gryphon's POV*

"Dude do you know what she looks like? Is she hot? Do you wanna-"

"Ew, Mason. They’re going to be 12, you idiot. That sentence officially made you a pedophile" I laugh. "No I don't ok? I don't even know if it's a girl. Mr. Meacon hasn't shown me anything"

"Then how will you know if you have the right one?" Man, for a Year 5 Mason can be so clueless.

"I will be able to sense their power. Shouldn't you know all of this?"

"You're the Seeker, not me. I have to go to stupid Healing while you get to travel the world searching for new students. It's not fair!" Mason whines.

I laugh. “You really need to stop talking like a little kid. People are not gonna take you seriously.”

“’People are not gonna take me seriously’” He mocks in a high, whiney voice. “Whatever. I gotta go. Later dude!”

Mason hangs up and I put the phone on the nightstand. I quickly get out of my clothes and into my pjs. I jump into my bed and as soon as my head hits the pillow, I fall into a dreamless sleep.
