Prologue
--------------

Pale.

Tired eyes.

Inklike hair in messy ringlets.

Slim.

That was her. Ariana Neal, the new girl. No one could resist the urge to stare. Beady eyes were fixed on her, looking her up and down, judging her.

I hate to say it - I did it too. Was she a vampire or something? How did she get so white? Like the clouds in the sky on a sunny day. Or those fresh bubbles once you've finished running your bubble bath. Either way, she reminded us all exactly like that. She brushed past me so I got a waft of her smell. Sickly sweet, like she had lathered herself in it.

The images quickly came and went from my mind, as I never usually paid much attention to the new ones. No one really did, but there would always be one kid who liked the look of them.

I just couldn't believe this time it was me.
