Becoming the Phoenix

Chapter 3

I’d made it up to my room, relived I didn’t bump into anyone on the way. The room was surprisingly spacious there was a single bed already made up, a standard desk, wardrobe and some drawers I opened them up and they was empty I checked the wardrobe and like Calvin said there was two sets of school uniform hung up and some gym clothes I sighed and closed the wardrobe doors. I looked at the other door connected to my room and walked over to it opening it up and looked inside, there was a shower toilet and sink, hey at least I had my own bathroom this whole room was about the same size as my trailer I went over to the bed and laid down feeling all the emotions from the last couple of days weighing me down. I cuddled into the comforter that was on the bed trying to push past the emotions .I wasn’t ready to feel all of them right now,though tears escaped my eyes as I fell to sleep.

The siren from my alarm jolted me awake from a dreamless, restless sleep. I stumbled out off bed and turned it off. All the memories came rushing back to me but quickly pushed them down. My nerves was already on edge, first day of new school was always scary but a supernatural school, well I can literally say let’s hope I survive the first day. I go to the wardrobe and grab my uniform and head to the shower. Once I shower and dress I take a quick look at myself in mirror my once bright bouncy red hair now dull and flat hanging loosely to my hips .My big blue eyes now sunken. The uniform hung off my slender body. I think I look scarier then any monster at this school. I looked at the time and it’s almost eight thirty so I grabbed the empty black bag with the school logo on it and went to meet Calvin.

Calvin was already waiting, he smiled as he saw me approaching “morning beautiful” he said with flirtatious grin “morning” I said shyly putting my head down feeling embarrassed no one had ever called me beautiful before. I mean Troy did but that was in a friend way. Maybe Calvin was just saying it to friendly. no ever really spoke to me other then Troy it was like I was invisible but I liked it that way. I pushed the memory away the last thing I needed was to have a melt down on my first day. We began walking through the woods back to the main building. Everything still looks so scary the thickness of the forest blocks out the sun so everything is still in darkness “ how are you feeling about your first day?” Calvin asked. I answered him honestly “I really don’t know” because I didn’t. It all still felt like a dream, like I was going to wake up at any minute, “I’m still trying to get my head round everything” I continued waving my hand around gesturing to to the school. “Yeah I get it. It must be a lot to take in, but don’t worry I got your back beautiful” he said winking at me and slung his large muscular arm around my shoulders pulling me along through the halls of the castle it was just as dark and cold inside as it was on the out side . We walked into a large hall filled with tables and chairs and hundreds of student who stilled when me and Calvin walked in. I huddled closer into Calvin hoping his big frame would hide me from the staring “hey don’t worry about them there just curious and I told you I got your back” he said smiling down at me and tugged me into the hall. We sat at a table near the back. I could see everyone whispering and looking at me i squirmed in my chair uncomfortably wishing I could go back to being invisible. Calvin had gone to get us some breakfast as I try to sit and ignore all gossiping. The doors to hall slam open causing everyone to quiet again. You could feel the tension hanging in the air six boys walked in. taking them in.calling them boys was an understatement each one of them would tower over me and each one more muscular then the other with sharp features I felt myself practically drooling over them they all wore a serious expression when the last one walked in I couldn’t help but stare his black perfectly messy styled hair and razor sharp features and those icey blue eyes sending a chill through my body but also making a heat rise up in me his whole presence sent a sense of fear through me but I could not look away. His eyes locked onto mine like he could sense me watching him. His eyes moved beyond me as Calvin placed some pancakes in front of me I smiled sweetly up at him and thanked him I looked back to where the boy was but he’d gone.

I took a large bite of my pancake and couldn’t help the mouthwatering moan that left my mouth. I hadn’t realised how hungry I was . Calvin chuckled next to me “damn your teasing me girl” he said with a playful nudge. Calvin seemed really fun I could see us being friends he was easy to get along with. Calvin was just as Handsome as the boys that walked in it must be supernatural thing. “Who were those boys that walked in” I asked. Calvin burst laughing “ you’d better not let them hear you call them boys, they call themselves the kings there’s Isaac, dom, hudson, mason, jax and the leader Blake” he said “ why do they call themselves the kings” I asked “ there families are royalty there the oldest of there kind Blake’s parents are the rulers. They keep everything In check in the supernatural world” he said I felt nervous to ask “and what kind are they” gulping as I asked “vampires” he replied.
