The Misunderstood Witch

The new kids

Azriella "wake up, or you will be late for your first day of college"my oldest brother yells at me. "f**k, ok just leave me to get dressed you asa-hat!" I scream back at him through my bedroom door. I go and grab my standard leather n lace Skullcandy boots, some ripped up black skinny jeans and my Rob zombie band tee with the living dead girl in black n white on it. I take a look in the mirror as I straighten my hair and layer some eyeliner on. I have pale blond almost white hair now, before my father n mother had died and left my older brother in charge of raising me and him my hair was bright red. Which went perfect with my green eyes. But after the accident my hair changed white, but my eyes stayed the same. 

I take a glimpse at the clock, " I need to get moving class starts in about 30 mins." I tell myself. I nod at my lil black Raven, in her large 24"×24  which is good because she's only halfway grown.i grab my shoulder bag and head out the door telling Stoney I will be back in bout 2 hours or so. Knowing she may not be able to understand me because she's a bird. A bird I rescued when she was a baby that fell from her nest. I head out the front door and go to tell Cane I will be back after school. He nods from the living room couch, obviously still unpacking from last night's trip here. 

I get to class with 5 mins to spare and take my seat. I sit in the back, which is how I like it, less attention twards me the better. I hate my social anxiety. Which it's also why I'm glad most people keep their distance like they will catch some kind of disease just being within a foot of me. I only have 1 or 2 friends through the whole school so far. One is a childhood friend which I see racing to come and get a seat beside me. "Azriella, I hope you found everything here ok. I came and checked our the college months ago but didn't see you at the orientation." She tells me all excited like a 5 year old with a new toy. 

" I found our house a few days after graduation. It happens to be right next to here. And I missed orientation because I was still unpacking from the trip from California. " I explain as she nods expectantly at every answer. Then she fires off more after I'm finished. " I seen two or three new kids too and oh my Lord they are FINE girl. " She says obviously love struck. I roll my eyes. "Yea su-" she cuts me off " there they are she whispers, the short ones really cute I think personally but I know you go for the tall ones. Oh and speaking of there's the other two, I think their brothers" she teased me and points through her hand at the two tall boys with leather jackets and  dark skin one much darker than the other and both with Sandy blonde hair that's almost brown. One sits on the opposite of Rowen and the other beside me. 

Rowen, not even interested in the tall dark beauty beside her was looking for the short one when the professor walks in and tells everybody to bring their attention forward and take notes as we will be quizzed at the end of the week. "Oh great. " I moan in a sarcastic overtone with the rest of the class. The boy beside me started to giggle as he reached for his notebook and pencil. I do the same. And start taking biology notes. I keep taking notes when about halfway through I notice my hands glowing on the palms a little... I glance at them and quickly close my fingers in a fist. I get up n dart for the door. " Where do you think you are going?" I hear the professor ask. " Bathroom. " I manage to blurt out as quickly as possible before heading out the classroom and down the hall into the girls bathroom. 

What the hell!? O stare at my hands for a few mins slightly memorized by the glowing blueish green aura tracing over the lines on my palm before it began fading rather quickly. I look in the mirror a moment before breathing a sigh of relief. Good it went away. Now I can go back to class before I get in trouble. I head back still staring at my right hand.. it only did it bright like that while I was wrighting. Very strange. I try to ignore it but right as I look up the tallest dark haired new kid runs into me. I fall backwards, closing my eyes and expecting to smack the floor but nothing happened. I look up and see him with his arm around me smiling. His arms are so big damn... 

He sees I have noticed him and smiles even harder. " See something you like?. You should be more careful ", he teased. I blush hard, and lower my head as I stand back up straight. " I-i am sorry, I didn't mean to-" I start to apologise but am interupted by him putting a finger over my mouth. "Shhhh. No need to apologise, I ran into you" he says sympatheticly . I am shocked. Nobody at this school besides Rowen had said anything so polite to me before. " My name is Zeke, I am a sophomore here and I notice peculiar traits in people. " He tells me offering his hand to shake. I did so, as a shock went to all my nerves in my hands and feet. He steps back quickly jerking his hand away. 

" What was that? And what kind of peculiar traits?. I ask. Truely concerned he sees my weird white hair and perhaps had seen my glowing hands earlier. 

" Well for starters I notice you have a witches mark. Not a bad thing but you don't even seem to know your own power or how to control it. And that little shock was a sign." He says. 

" What? Witches are real? Does that mean vampires, werewolves and fairies are real too?" I ask incredulously. 

He nods at everything. And spouts off " well you had to know you are special. And as for all that yea and their mixing with witches now and some are pure evil and want nothing more than to devour the soul of every creature mythical or not" he says with a dark over tones which sparked my concern. I don't know why but I feel like he's being a little too friendly with me. I start to go back inside the classroom, Thinking about everything Zeke said. I start to sit down and as soon as my butt hits the seat the lunch bell rings. 

I sigh and gather my things before heading to lunch with Rowen talking my ear off the whole way. " What did the new kid want? Are you ok, you ran off rather quicker than I knew what was going on. " She spouts off. " I'm not sure honestly, didn't feel right. I think it's because I skipped breakfast", I lie " and as for Zeke he just wanted to say hello and be polite. " She accepts the answers just as quickly as I could respond. 

We get our lunch and sit beside the trash cans. As outsiders we don't sit at tables. Zeke walks past shaking his head. And goes to sit down beside us. But before he can Rowen hisses and smacks his legs making him head towards a table. " What the hell was that for?" I ask her. " She just shrugs, idk mayb my hormones took over. " She laughs. I start thinking bout what Zeke had said about witches and other creatures mixing and starting to wonder. " Can I ask you a question Row?" I look at her expectant face and just ask it as simply as I can " are you a witch or a mixed witch? Or are you human?" 

She laughs hard. " Honey I could tell you but you should know we have been friends since your parents passed. As for your answer. Yes I am a witch, but I'm not 100% witch I am mixed with werelynx. My mother is a witch and my father well you know how hairy he is." She laughed. I just nod in awe. My best friend is a witch/werelynx?. Everything I know about people and biology has shifted from this morning.

" Since you skipped out of class, do you want to take some of my notes home to copy and study?" She asks. And I nod. " That would be helpful" I say in a small voice. Which makes her look at me weird. " I didn't realize your memories were.... O no is it ok if I come over after lunch since our other class isn't untill 7pm. I nod " maybe it will help me to study" I smile slightly. The final bell rings before I head back to my house. Or rather my brother's house. He runs the place. I go to take a shower and get dressed before Rowen shows up. 

Get out of the shower and go grab a sandwich before heading back to my room.
