Bullseye Hearts

Part 1

Scarlet POV

I stood in front of my new high school, completely amazed.

"Wow... Nottingham High is nothing like this."

I shouldn't get too attached, though. I'm only an exchange student.

I slipped my headphones into my pocket and looked over my shoulder.

"Sparrow, what the heck are you doing?!"

He was busy bothering a girl with white-and-blue hair who was wearing what looked like a knight's uniform.

Well, one thing I already knew about this place was that the people definitely dressed better than they did at Nottingham High.

Sparrow jogged back over to me, grinning.

"Hey, I was in the middle of something!"

I rolled my eyes and elbowed him in the ribs. It was pretty obvious what he'd been doing.

Suddenly, my phone buzzed.

A new email.

"Ooh! I finally know who my roommates are!"

"I hope she's hot," Sparrow teased.

He earned himself another elbow.

I opened the email and blinked.

"Wait... I have two roommates?"

As we headed toward the girls' dorm, Sparrow carried my suitcase over one shoulder.

"It says I'm rooming with Lizzie Hearts and Darling Charming. Do you know them?"

We stopped in front of the dorm building. Sparrow picked up his guitar and lazily strummed a few chords.

"I know them," he said. "Darling's alright, but Lizzie's a total freak!"

He quickly backed away, still playing, as if he expected someone to hear him.

"Well, you can't choose your family, can you?"

I turned toward the voice.

A girl with long purple hair was standing nearby, dragging a large black suitcase behind her.

"I'd do anything to get rid of him," I laughed. "I'm Scarlet."

"Oh, you must be new." She smiled. "I'm Raven."

She offered me a handshake before continuing.

"Around here, when we introduce ourselves, we usually say what story we're from. For example, I'm Raven, daughter of the Evil Queen. What about you?"

"Oh." I scratched the back of my neck. "I'm Scarlet, daughter of Robin Hood and Maid Marian. I'm an exchange student from Nottingham High."

Raven's eyes lit up with curiosity.

"Really? That's pretty cool."

"Thanks." I smiled. "Anyway... do you happen to know where Room 667 is?"

POV: Sparrow

I finally got back to our room.

Well... our room.

Technically, we weren't supposed to share one. At the beginning of the year, Daring, Dexter, Hunter, and I each had our own rooms.

Then Prank Day happened.

Long story short...

I accidentally blew a hole through the wall separating our rooms.

The teachers were furious. We thought they'd make me rebuild it.
