I was running as fast as i could,my breath was getting shallow but yet she was still chasing me,i looked behind me every little part of me hoped she was gone. I stopped in my tracks and ran into a small indent in the wall i tucked myself in as tight as i could,she stopped and looked around,her crimson eyes rolled,She wore a mid-length skirt, a shirt with long sleeves,with flowers sewn into the collar. She looked directly at me her arms stretched out and i screamed,Thats when i woke up. My hair was wet from the panic surging threw me i sat up shaking and realised my window was open,i sighed,thank god it was a dream. My clock read 4am i had to be up in 2 hours to get ready for school. New school. New life. I looked at myself in the mirror my blue eyes looked sharp, my fair complexion,my wavy black hair looked dull. I decided to curl up in bed and try to sleep, but what i didn't know was my life was going to change dramatically.

My alarm went off,i frowned and looked at it.6am. I really wasn't ready for school yet i had no sleep since 4am,i turned my alarm off and pulled my sheets over my head and hoped my mom wouldn't come in.

"William Scarebrook, get you're ass out of bed now." i frowned, mom noticed i wasn't up,I sat up and looked at her.

"Don't look at me like that" she laughed and threw a pillow at me,i smiled and got out of bed. I walked over to the mirror and my smile dropped,i looked half dead.

"mom!" i shouted her

"whats wrong will" she walked in and leaned against the door frame.

"look i look so bad,my eyes have massive black circles under them" i complained.

"what am i meant to do give you some concealer and hope for the best?" 

"oh thanks really loving myself right now" i frowned at her.

"just put your eyeliner on and it'll be fine silly" she chirped.

i put my eyeliner on and looked in the mirror,she was right i looked a lot better,i grabbed my straighteners and straightened my hair,for once my bangs went right i smiled and ran down the stairs and grabbed my shoes.After i put on my black and red tie dye jeans i put on my metallica band shirt and shoes,i grabbed my bag and slung it over my shoulders and left the house in a rush.

the walk to school was long, i looked at my phone and text my friend bethany, i really missed her. I kept walking and i walked into someone i looked up and saw another guy,he had green eyes, a pale complexion, and straight blue hair, he looked at me and his jaw clenched.

"can i help you" he asked

"yeah...im kinda lost" i confessed

"oh right where are you heading kid?"

"unfortunatly school" i sighed

"oh...you're the new kid william?" 

"yeah thats me" i smiled

"well im Xander Balfour i'm in your year" he stuck his hand out

"oh..hi it's nice to see someone friendly around here" i shook his hand

"i'll walk to school with you if you'd like" he asked me with a smooth texture in his voice

"yeah i would like that a lot" 

we started walking to school together, Xander was actually a really intresting guy we both liked the same kind of music and he was from a broken home like i am.He had been brought up in a house with his father,

when we got to school everyone was greeting Xander with a hug,kiss or a highfive and even a few guys gave him a shoulder punch. A group of girls looked at us and started talking to Xander

"Xander whos your friend" 

"Bekah This is William he's new to the school" Xander introduced me

Bekah had hazel eyes, a dark complexion, and wavy golden-blond hair in a mid-length braid she was actually really pretty. She looked at me and smiled her teeth showing off.

"Hey William i'm Bekah Calamity" she smiled and hugged me

"Hey Bekah its nice to meet you" i hugged her back,she was really cold 

"The girl to the left of me is Istar Winterford shes the schools head cheerleader and a great artist" 

Istar winked at me and looked into her phone screen and topped up her lip gloss.she had brown eyes, an olive complexion, and straight black hair she wore in a pony tail.

"The 2 girls to the right of me are Alcina DeAngelus and Scarlet Grimsman"

Alcina had gray eyes, a pale complexion, and straight blond hair worn loose about the shoulders.  She wore a Renaissance dress and a pair of knee-high vintage boots. she looked at me and waved she then blushed and looked down. Scarlet has brown eyes, an olive complexion, and wavy light brown hair cut short.  She wore a flapper dress and a pair of embroidered  shoes. She also wore a wide-brimmed hat .She appeared to have a morbid sense of humor.

"hey" i smiled

"Bekah cmon we have to go to practice"

a tall guy with golden eyes, a dark complexion, and straight dull blond hair that covered one of his eyes ran over. he was wearing pair of jeans, a shirt with mid-length sleeves that said 'local faggot'

"Oh hey Dexter this is William he's new to the school he's friends with Xander"

Dexter looked at me and apeared to study me he then pulled Bekah over and hissed something in her ear,i looked at them both and then looked down,

"hey william it's okay their always like this" Xander whispered to me he then mimed 2 people kissing i laughed and looked back down

"Xander you know your father isn't going to like this" Dexter looked at me and gestured my whole body,hey i know im a bit scruffy but cut a guy some slack

"Dexter my father doesn't even like your family so who are you to say what he does and doesn't like" Xander stuck his middle finger up at Dexter and looked at Bekah

"Get your boyfriend out of here before i make his face even more fucked up" Xander hissed

"Thats fresh from a daddy's boy Xander" Dexter said as he pushed Xander.

"Well i didn't sleep with my sister did i" Xander replied and shoved him back

Dexter flew at Xander but Xander ducked and grabbed Dexter by his throat and slammed him against the wall.

"Take it back" Dexter screamed at him

Xander just smirked and slammed him harder against the wall and whispered something to Dexter 'i'll deal with you later,just hope you said your prayers'

another guy who was stood with Dexter looked up and walked over to Xander and said something to him i could just make out a couple of the words 'Xander Kid dad' Xander dropped Dexter and the guy grabbed Dexter's arm and pulled him away. This guy had dark brown eyes, a dark complexion, and dead straight red hair worn loose about the shoulders. He didnt look local he looked slightly korean he wore a pair of red jeans and a blue band shirt with black studded boots.

"thanks Osiris" Bekah chimed

"No problem Bekah,oh im Osiris LaRue by the way if you ever need a hand with some music work you can find me in the senior gardens,just ignore Dexter he's kinda sensative" Osiris shook my hand and then hurried off

"lets go we have english class with Miss Demond" Xander looked at me and smiled his shoulders still tense

"yeah sure, it was nice meeting you all" i said nervously

Xander hurried me to class he was taking big steps and i had to run to keep up,then i ran into someone i stopped dead and looked up to see a guy about twice the size of me Xander came over and laughed

"No need to freak out William its only Conrad he wouldn't hurt a fly" 

Conrad looked at me and showed me a big toothy grin,he with dark brown eyes, a dark complexion, and straight black hair worn long.  He was wearing a pair of trousers, a tunic with mid-length sleeves, and a pair of knee-high leather boots.  He also had a pair of gold earrings and a long jacket.

"Hey kiddo i'm Conrad Riven"

"Conrad is the schools drama pupil with top grades" Xander said proudly

"Yeah im not usually dressed like this you just caught me before i go do a bit of acting here" he grabbed my phone and typed in his number

"call me if you need any help with drama work" he said with a smooth tone

"thanks,and Xander you can just call me Will" i smiled 

"No problem" Conrad replied and Xander just nodded

"Oh Xander about my step brother"

"He's fine i haven't killed him yet" Xander said and his jaw flexed

"Okay good i know Dexter can be a bit of a dick but if anything happens to him it reflects back on me" Conrad frowned

"I understand Conrad" Xander said more relaxed

so we started walking to lesson again and i was getting a run down on who to avoid here

"Cory tends to gossip too much but is an excellent dancer. He's just a bit of a smart ass" Xander pointed at Cory he was a normal looking kid with hazel eyes, a fair complexion, and wavy blond hair cut short

"okay"

"Ligeia is just a bitch in general avoid her" he pointed at a girl sat next to cory flirting with him another girl with hazel eyes, a fair complexion, and curly black hair in a short braid,she gave Xander a snide look and then flipped him off.

"Thanks Ligeia, oh by the way Cory said you were good last night" he laughed

Ligeia looked at cory and slapped him.

"you can't keep your mouth shut can you" she walked off in a piss and kicked the trash can on the way to her class.

"right got it" i confirmed

when we got to class Xander walked over to 2 chairs at the back of the class and told me to sit,i sat down and got out my book,Xander laughed and slipped a book to me i looked threw and it had all the answers for todays lesson in it.

"All cause of Bekah,she likes you kid" he laughed a very throaty laugh and sat back and put his feet on the desk.I was really liking Xander he's such a cool guy and he was like the brother i never had.
