Okay I can do this.

I have done this before.

Fifth time is the charm.

I just parked my car in front of the new school.I mean I was nervous even though this is my fifth time doing this in the last two years.

I should probably introduce myself since you are following me around and looking at my life. My name is Bailey Wild. I have light brown hair that goes down my back. I have red eyes but I have to cover them with green color contacts so people don't find out what I am. I am average height but I would like to be taller so I can reach stuff easier but life's unfair like that. Anyway this is the fifth time I have had to move in the past two years because shit happens. The difference about this time is that I am actually starting on the first day of school. I am happy about that because that means there could be other new students so people can pay attention to them and not me. Anyway that's my life and now let's go back to the parking lot where I am deciding wether to go or not.

"You can do it Bailey. Just open the door and walk to the front of the school and walk in." I said to give me a burst of encouragement. I slowly opened the door to my 2012 Hyundai Elantra and got out. I walked to the front of the school and opened the door and walked in. I looked around to see that there was tables lined against the wall with people sitting at them handing students there stuff. I looked around and saw that it was organized by grade level. I went down the hall a little and got to the table labeled Juniors. I got into line and waited for the people in front of me to move up. Right when I was about to be first I felt something hot hit my back.
"Ow." I said because it was scorching hot.
"Oh my gosh I am so sorry!" The girl said. "The idiots behind me where pushing each other and they pushed me into you." She said she started wiping the back of my shirt but I smelt coffee so I know that it won't come out.
"It's okay I have another shirt I can change into." I said starting to feel the stickiness from the coffee getting on my back.
"I'm Ashley by the way." She said holding her hand out.
"Hi I'm Bailey. I'm new." I said and then the scent hit me. Mermaid. I looked at the girl and she was smiling and I noticed that she does look like a mermaid with blonde hair and blue eyes.
"No wonder I didn't recognize your face. I am head of student council and head cheerleader so I should know everybody." She said. She wasn't one of those stereotypical cheerleader who dressed like a slut and was a bitch. She was actually pretty nice.
"Oh well now you know everybody." I said with a chuckle.
"Yeah it is hard to remember but since it's a small school it isn't impossible."
"Excuse me can you come get your schedule?" The lady who was sitting behind the desk said a little rudely.
"Sorry." I said and walked up.
"Bailey Wild."
"BaileyWild." She flipped through the papers until she got to mine and handed to me.
"Thank you." I said and walked away.
"Bailey!" I heard someone shout. I turned around and Ashley was walking towards me with her schedule in her hands.
"Here let's see if we have any classes together." She took my schedule and analyzed while I just awkwardly stood there waiting for her to finish.
"We have first and second period together and also last."
"Awesome do you mind showing me to my first hour since I kinda don't know where I am going." I said with a shy smile.
She chuckled. "Sure."

It wasn't long before we walked into my first hour class. I made sure to memorize where we were going so I wouldn't get lost.
"Now don't talk in this class unless you have a death wish." Ashley said.
"Miss Menard is a bitch when she needs to be." Ashley said.
We walked in and we sat in the middle of the class since no one was really there yet.
"So what brings you to Louisiana?" Ashley said turning towards me.
"Family issues." I said with a shrug. I would have said personal issues but I don't want her to ask questions.
"Ahh I have family issues too with my mom. She can be a bitch sometimes."
"It is really on my mom's part she can be a bit over protective of me." I said with a sad smile." I mean I love my mom but she can give me some space you know?"
"That sounds awesome my mom barely cares where I am or what I do. I feel like I am not even her daughter sometimes."
"Maybe she is just giving you tough love?" I suggested.
"No because she gives my twin brother more attention than me." She said with a shrug.
"That sucks I'm sorry about that."
"Don't be sorry about it. I don't want your pity." She said.
"Okay."
"Hey babe." Some really hot dude that sat next to Ashley said. He had a really deep voice that made shivers go up my spine.
"Hey Jason." Ashley said kissing his cheek.
"Who is this?" Jason said nodding his head towards me.
"Bailey. She's new here." Ashley said giving me a smile.
"Hi." I said shyly. "Nice to meet you."
"You too. Where you moved here from?" He asked.
"From-" I got caught off when the teacher walked in. She looked like she was in her 50's she had blonde hair and brown eyes and was short and looked like she worked out.
"My name is Miss Menard. I will be your science teacher for this year. Today we-" she got cut off by someone opening the door and walking in. He was tall. Then it hit me. Vampire.
"That's Mark he is always late and you don't want to get on his bad side." Ashley whispered in my ear. Don't worry I won't.
"Nice for you to join us Mark. Now go take a seat."
