Reed's POV
An hour before the tour
My brother and I walked up to the school, the sky still orange of early morning, the campus hasn't changed a bit. The scent of heather filled my lungs as we walked up to the front doors, on going students gazing in short glances at us. As soon as walk in, a punch of scents hit me. Teen hormones, perfume, Axe body spray, and something that doesn't belong here.
I glance at Ren and he seems to be taking this in as well, he looks at me in a confused but knowing face. I decide to ignore the strange scent for now and Ren and I start walking in strides to the south common room where we are supposed to meet a member of the student concil to take us on a tour of here. Even though we already know where everything is.
As we make our way to the south common room, moving through the herds of hormone filled teens, the scent gets stronger and starts forming into something else. Two auras, a new one and a familier one at that. We suddenly start moving in a slow jog, turning into a run as we near the commons. The exact place where the aura is coming from.
Strangely the students started to grow less and less as we near the south commons. It's only early morning but there should still be more students around here.
Then we reach the commons, steading my breath from the running while Ren is fine and glaring at someone ahead of
Us.
It was very quiet with no adolescents what so ever, this must be where they study and transition classes because of all the tables and chairs on each floor. Man it has changed.
I finally look at who or what Ren is staring at with fuming eyes. I stumble back a bit in shock, I was not expecting to see her ever again.
Her wavy dark blue to light green hair has grown over the years, her orange fire eyes glinted in the light, reflecting rage for the person standing before her. She crossed her arms over her chest and held her head up high in a prideful way. Ren stood up straighter and more in a I-might-just-lunge-at-you stance.
"Ren Syles, it's been a while. What brings you back here?" She said in an elegant way, surpressing her temper.
"Well, I didn't think I would see you ever again either, bitch," he said snarkily with a smirk, she growled at his response, gripping her arms tighter,"but I suppose you have to come home at some point, right? Anyways, what brings you back here Eris?"
"That's none of your concern."
"Oh, I bet, since you put up a barrier to keep the humans out."
She snarled at him.
"Don't bend my temper," she in a harsh tone, pointing a finger at him and stepping closer, "I put the barrier up for there own good, as soon as I sensed you come into the school and another aura I knew I had to do it for their own saftety."
I widened my eyes in surprise, and I bet Ren did too. She sensed the other aura too, and not only that, she kept my promise.
"So you sense it to then, huh, you've grown your powers a bit." Ren said steeping closer.
"Watch it asshole," she said stepping even closer with her temper rising even more; the two were right in front of eachother now,"you know what I'm capable of, and I know what both of you two are capable of too," she said this while looking in my direction, she really hasn't changed,"so if you don't want this to be messy then. Back. Off."
At this point they were neck and neck, I couldn't tell when they would lunge at eachother. Just when Ren was about to say something, most likely something even more snarky, a monotone voice cut him off.
"You guys are really loud. Also the barrier fell that the witch casted."
Ren and Eris stopped fighting abruptly and turned to face the voice, I turned quickly as well and looked at the person who had the unfamiliar aura.
She definitely is someone or something Ren and I have never encountered before. She has a pale complexion with a white pixie cut with bangs, framed under her tired doe brown eyes. What's strange about her is that her aura is something I've never sensed before and that she has bandages wrapped around her neck and hands.
It's not human nor any other creature I've confronted, in fact, I sense no soul at all. She's like a shell of what she used to be.
I looked at Ren and Eris and they seemed to be freaked out by her too.
She walked up to us and looked us up and down, "You all know why you are here so get used to being with eachother, or else more damage will come besides what is coming."
We just stared at her, confused. Does she really know why Ren and I are here? Why Eris is here?
Ren marched up to her and grabbed her by the shirt collar, dragging her up to meet his ears of furious turquoise. He looked her up and down, trying to sense what she is.
He couldn't. He looked at her in a shock for a split second before going back to fury mode.
"What are you?" He said commandingly.
They stood there in silence, the girl still suspended by her shirt collar. Ren was growing anxious, his anger rising.
"Answer m-"
"I'm not willing to share with you, besides, even if you were to threaten me it wouldn't work." She interrupted in her bored tone.
Ren set her down, annoyed, starting bickering with Eris again. The girl found her way to me and just stood there, creepily staring at me, I just decided to avoid eye contact at all cost to not cause akwardness. Then suddenly a high pitched whistle striked the air. I whipped my head towards the sound and saw a girl standing in front of the entrance from the hallway.
She was pretty short with light lavender pixie cut hair, that makes two girls I've seen in a span of a few minutes with pixie cuts, and light blue eyes. She was wearing a very joyful grin seeming the perky type. It's going to take a while for Ren to warm up to her.
"Hi! I'm Ever Knince, sophomore student, and I will be your guide for the hour, what are your names?"
Present time, at Ever and her friend's lunch table
After getting aquainted with Ever's friends we got lunch and made our way to their lunch table, surrounded by other kids eating lunch at their tables. And today's lunch of the day was a choice between something called "Lunch Lady Surprise", salad, and assorted sandwiches.
We all stayed away from the "Lunch Lady Surprise".
After getting seated at the outside round table, with Eris to my right then Callen and Ren, I'm guessing Eris wants to stay away from Ren as much as possible, then Ever at my left followed by Beth-Marie, Lilly, and Aaron sitting by Ren.
Ever started some small talk and soon we were all getting along in a sense.
Eris, Ever, Lily, and Beth-Marie were telling each other "girl time" stories, what ever that means, Callen joined in at some point. Ren and I were talking to Aaron about many things, one of resulted in Ren laughing. It was more like him choking on his sandwich when Aaron was telling us about this one time Lilly fell off a horse because she feed it it's least favorite food.
To me that counts as a laugh, okay.
Soon we were all talking to each other and laughing like normal teens, until Beth-Marie got serious.
"Okay, to survive here, you need go know where you belong or else you'll be miserable for the rest of your years here. We have the Pretties," she pointed towards the middle of lunch table area where there were a few round lunch tables occupied by several girls and guys in direct sunlight, many rows far from us in the shade of a magnolia tree.
"They are the most popular kids here. Most of them either are swimming in money, part of the cheerleading team, or are leaders of certain groups," she went and pointed to a blonde at the table, laughing with her friends at the table. She seemed to be the superior.
"That's, Harper Cassidy, queen of the school; made of pure beauty and evil. Sounds cheesy buts it's true, she can crush your whole highschool career with just a snap of her fingers. She's also the captain of the cheerleaders, not only that her family is super successful. Meaning a butt load of money."
Mental note: Don't mess with Harper.
Next, Beth-Marie pointed to the girl on Harper's right.
"That's Maya Carter, part of the cheerleading team and the alpha female of the school. Her family is well known in the werewolf community, and she also has over 500,000 subs on Youtube for her beauty tutorials."
"You can be that popular just by being a beauty guru?" Eris interrupted.
"You can be popular for a lot of things," Beth-Marie replied, "Anyways," she then pointed to the girl on the other side of Harper.
(I found her hair but not her face, so imagine Allison with bright green eyes)
"And that's Allison Beckett, female leader of the meif'wa's, she's also on the cheerleading team. She's best known for her wardrobe. Moving on from the main Pretties are the next level of popular, the jocks."
Beth-Marie points to another group of tables in the middle next to the Pretties full of muscle men giving off a full on stench of Axe body spray. Those are the guys I smelled in the hallway.
