Torn Between Two

#2 - New Boy, New Home

I lead my sisters to the adoption centre.

"What's this?" Asks Kayla.

"An adoption centre, this is where we could move in with a nice family!"

Faith nods, "It's all we have right now, plus, our powers aren't here, it's safe."

I nod and we head inside,

Faith walks to the front desk, "Hi, our parents left us and we really need somewhere to stay."

The lady nods, "Alright, there's two parents in the room next door, their name's are Mr and Mrs Wright and they have a daughter called.. Leona Wright."

Faith nods, "Thank you."

We follow her into the next room, to see one woman and one man.

"Hi! Are you Mr and Mrs Wright?"

"Yes! Oh you girls are perfect, follow us."

We followed them to their place and I should say, our new home.

5 years later...

I sit on the brick layer with my best friends Kiera and Emery,

"Ugh, if it's one thing I hate, it's history, who needs to know about the past?! They're all dead!" Groans Emery.

Kiera giggles, "I don't have a problem with history."

"That's because Myles is tutoring you." Emery rolls her eyes.

"Hey! You would be reacting the exact same as me!"

Emery rolls her eyes again.

"Elena? You've been awfully quiet.."

"Nah, I'm looking at Rylee."

Kiera and Emery turn their heads in my direction to see the most popular girls,
Rylee and her minions.

"Ugh, what's she doing now?" Emery eats her sandwich from her bag.

Kiera twists her head past Rylee and gasps.

"What..?"

Kiera points past Rylee to a boy with blonde-brownish ruffled hair.

"Who's that?" Asks Emery.

"The new guy I assume.. I don't know his name though, maybe Elena can go catch his name." Kiera smirks at me.

"Me? Why?" I jump to attention.

"Because! I'm not going to do it, neither is Emery cause' we got men." Kiera flips her hair sarcastically.

"That doesn't mean I need one."

I feel a boy approach me,
"Hey Elena, I was thinking.. How about we--"

I hit him in the stomach before he says anything, "No thanks."
I stand up and kick his knee, "No thank you."
And to finish it up, I smack his back with my tray.

"O-oh gee, I'm s-sorry." He says while on the floor in pain, he stands up and runs away.

Kiera and Emery give me the look.

"What..? It's not my fault boys have the nerve to ask me out.."

It really didn't matter.. Seeing as 5 years ago my parents told me to never fall in love with a human? I guess I'm used to it...

The bell rings,

"Well, see you girls later." Emery jumps off the brick wall and runs in the hall.
We all rush to our classes..

During math class...

I sit down in my seat, not caring who sat next to me, as long as someone sat there.

Then from the corner of my eye, I see a boy with brown-blondish hair, he sits down in the seat next to me and looks like he's waiting for something..

"Ahem." He says.

I slowly turn my head to him, "Can I help you?"

"Aren't you gonna' give me your number?"

"Uh and why would I do that?"

"Because all the other girls have, heh."

"Well let me get this through your head, new guy.. I'm not like the other girls, kay?"

"Actually my name's Grayson Parker." He twists his head.

"Ugh! Hopeless."

"Awe, don't be like that, did I catch your name?"

I shake my head and narrow my eyes at the wall, "Elena Woods."

"What a nice name for a beautiful gir--"

I cover his mouth with my hands, "Don't say it." I grit my teeth.

He nods and I remove my hand from his mouth, I wipe my hand on his shirt.

"Oh come on, you can't hate me that much, you don't even know me."

"I know that your name's Grayson and that you're a stuck up, evil little boy."

"Awe, is someone mad?" He smirks.

"Shut up."

"Look at that blonde hair, y'know it really suits you."

I try to hide my blushing but then the teacher walks in,

"Is someone blushing in this room? Hm I wonder who." Grayson whispers and smirks.

"S-stop!" I whisper back.

"You can't hide your blushing forever." I could hear the smirk in his whisper.

"Grayson Parker if you don't--"

"Elena! Are you talking in my class?"

"N-no Mr. Daniels."

"Good."

I give Grayson a glare and he smirks.

"Grayson and Elena!"
I hear the teacher say at the front of the class.

"Yes Mr. Daniels?"
Both Grayson and I say, we exchange looks and look back at the teacher.

"Is there a problem?"

"Oh n-no! We're just talking like normal people! Heh, right Grayson?"

He nods, "Yes! Right."

"Good, you both will be working on this project together, it's due in a week."

"What?!" I yell.
"What project?!" I ask.

"This is what happens when you talk in class Miss Woods, ask Grayson."

I lean back in my chair saying nothing.

"Well I'll see you at my place." He smirks.

"What's your.. A-a-address." I finally manage to get out.

"Awe, is Ellie asking for my address?"

"Forget it, I'll ask one of your girlfriends."
I stand up and walk out of the room.

"Hey! I need your number!"
