Chapter 1.
"Ouch! My head is throbbing like someone just hammered my head with a stone.Besides, my whole body is on fire."
I groggily try to sit up and attempt to clear my blurry vision to survey this place, because I am a hundred and one percent sure it's not my bedroom; For crying out loud, I am lying on a stone-cold hard floor. As soon as I did, I very much regretted inspecting this place.
How the f*ck did this happen? What had happened? I was sitting on the cold floor, yeah, but I was terrifyingly sitting next to my own lifeless body.Holy Schneikes!! I couldn't help but stare at my knocked down cold body that was in front of me. I certainly did not have my last breath today. I look extremely pale. Had this happened yesterday? Last Week? Whatever it was, I knew was dead. I am alive right now, but that is my own damn body with my favorite clothes on. Even after straining my brain, I couldn't remember what happened. It's like my memory has vanished.
" Silvia? Silvia? Silvia, Where are you?", a voice screamed helplessly. I recognized it. I know that I have heard this voice before.I don't remember who it belongs to!
"Silv...... , OH.MY.GOD."
**************
*TRING TRING TRING TRING*
"WOOOF, Thank god! It was just a dream."
"Silvia, hurry up kid! You are sure to miss your first day at senior high.",my mother yelled at me.
"Yeah Ma, I am awake.", I got up out of my bed and started to get ready. Honestly, I was dreading this day and would love to stay back home rather than go to that place. Why you ask! Summer had been full of hopeless drama and now I just wouldn't wish to face the same people who caused it.
My cell phone rang to indicate a text message of my best friend Eva.
EVA::: "Heads up Girl! Stay Strong and we will smash this day like a freaking Hulk. Watch for Aphrodite and her crew. Wouldn't want anything major happening after what you did to her in the summer."
Ugh! Props to Eva to remind me and make me feel more scared. I played way too many pranks on Aphrodite and her group, and, well, things got way out of hand when I found out she hired a male escort as her "date" to the summer ball. I, well, made a pretty bitchy mood, I'll admit it; I recorded her talking about how she's going to "make his night wonderful". I then sent to everyone and at the end of the day, all I got was a very flushed embarrassed Aphrodite. She said she'd get me back for this and apparently today is her day!!!
Arriving at school, I parked my car only to have Eva run up to me.
"OMG, Aphrodite is really really getting at you."
"Sh*t, what did she do?", I asked, my eyes all bulgy, threatening to come out of my eyeballs.
" Here!" She handed me a flyer. It had my photo edited on it that said SLUT FOR SALE. CALL 234-xxx-7687 FOR AN AMAZING TIME.
While I was gaping at the flyer in my hand, Eva said," I pulled up to school and then next thing I know these flyers were everywhere on the lockers.
I was beyond furious. How in the heaven's mind did she get my number? Nevertheless, it's payback time, baby!
I raised my brows, smirked and said, "Hey Eva, thinking what I'm thinking?"
"What? Another prank?",Eva retorted back.
"Damn, straight, Yes there will be another prank my lovely Eva".
****
I walk into my first class-Math. Ugh. I mean I love math, but I also seem to hate math. You know what I'm talking about? Yes, that exact feeling. Everyone and I mean by EVERY-ONE was talking about those nasty flyers and whispering probably about how much of a brat I am.
After a few minutes, I got tired of those looks and decided to get all bandy on these people." Excuse me, have anything else to talk about other than some rubbish gossip?" Yes. I was angry. Heck! Anyone would be.
"Oh Oh Ha, Like my little gift Silvia?", the one and only Aphrodite crackled. Oh How I wish I could knock down her teeth.
"Get a life, Aphrodite",I told her.
"Looks like someone had a visit from Aunt Flo and then decided to take her revenge on someone else. But seriously, do you know anything else other than to screw around with kiddish games?", a very deep voice said.
Ah,Justin. Go Justin. Justin was my boyfriend of 3 years. He, well, is every girl's dreams with those blue dreamy eyes with a tan, chisled body.Also, that accent though! However, we haven't been able to hang out for a few months now. Apparently, he is a lot busier than now. Probably, his new part time job is wearing him out. But, the guy's gotta do what he's gotta do.
"Fine. I'll shut up now. I, anyways have more important things to focus on other than trash like you. And, for the record, Silvia, if you think of getting back at me, you can just forget about it before it is too late because you know me. You bite me, I bite you harder."
"Of course", I smiled with a smirk. Of course, I'll think of something.
The bell rang indicating the start of first period. We have a new Math teacher and he wasn't even on time for his first lecture. Talk about making some damn first impression. But then again, maybe he got lost or something. The school is pretty big anyways.
After few moments, in walked the most beautiful looking man I've ever seen. He looked like he worked out often and was definitely in his mid-twenties. He was tall, muscular, had jet black hair and it wouldn't be a shocker if someone told me he has a few modeling contracts here and there.
'Ahem! No, Silvia. Snap out of your mind right now. He is older than you. Do you want to break Justin's poor fragile heart?' I was starting to battle with my own mind. Oh my god, what am I doing!
"Certainly, a bit younger to be a teacher. Guess, getting a teaching degree is getting easier and easier nowadays", Justin said as I openly gawked at the masterpiece in front of me. Oh shoot! He noticed me.
"Sorry class, I had to keep you guys waiting.My name is Mr.Black. So I will begin my taking your attendance so I would know your names."
Mmmm. Silvia Black. Has a nice ring to it.
"Garcia.....Sheldon.....Justin....Aphrodite.....savanna....Jack....Silvia.."
"Here,sir", I answered my attendance.
I noticed him staring at me for a little longer and oh my god, was that a slight smile on his face? Don't tag me as someone who is delusional or into teacher-student romance, but the entire classroom noticed.
"Why'd he look at you like that?",my dear boyfriend questioned.
"I don't know. I might as well conclude that I can capture anyone's attention easily."
"But, don't you think that was creepy?",he again fought.
"Justin, do I sense jealousy?", I sighed.
"Um. Guess so."
"Whatever,Justin. You are my boyfriend and not him, okay?"
"Okay."
"Silvia, would you mind waiting after class is over?", Mr. Black asked suddenly.
Oh shoot!! Did he catch me talking? Am I getting detention? Oh,well!!!
"Sure,Sir."
***
After class was over, I waited for everyone to scramble out of the classroom. When everyone was out of the room, Mr. Black began talking.
"That's a real nice cover, Beatrix. So how many people think you are Silvia?"
Huh! What. What does he mean? I thought I was getting a detention. Who is this Beatrix? Hold on, I am totally confused.
With an awkward laugh I spoke,"Mr. Black, I don't understand you."
Mr. Black chuckled and said,"Do I need to remind you now? You left Los Angeles last year and came to Roswell. Might as well call it a coincidence that we are at the same school.
Now, I was utterly confused and now I can feel Justin's words start to weigh on me. Mr. Black was starting to creep me out.
"Sir, I am sorry. I am not Beatrix nor do I know her. Neither do I know anything about what you are talking?"
"So, you are not Beatrix?"
"Yes Sir."
"Well, I am sorry Silvia to waste your time. Get going to your second class.",he commanded me.
Mr. Black was a strange person. Why did he call me Beatrix? Who even is this Beatrix? He was so sure I looked like her. Did she strikingly look like me? She left Los Angeles. Did they two have a past. Oh my god. This is too much for me to handle.
The start of school is indeed eventful this year.
