Spirit Users

Chapter 12

Lola POV

We woke up the next morning and started to get ready for class.

Weird……I’m not used to the idea of being back at school instead of in my cell.

Our first class was Moroi magic class 4; we still had to pretend that we have been going to school this whole time. And since we are spirit users we can make people think that we specialize in another element.

Vanessa chose to specialize in air and I chose fire.

When we walked into our classroom the teacher Ms. Zeklos spotted us. “Oh, you girls must be the new students headmistress Kirova said would be in my class from now on.” She said to us with a frown on her face, it seems we already had a teacher how did not like us, or at least me. It’s like I never left school. “You girls can take a seat at the two empty desks at the back of the room. In between Haley and Jenny.” She told us and went back to her lecture on the history of magic.

Oh, this class is going to be a blast. Wait a minute? Did she say, Jenny? I turned to look at the back of the room and saw my sister laughing with her friend Haley. Then she turned to a guy sitting on the other side of her and looped her arm through his and she gave him a kiss on his cheek.

Was that Jack????? Oh, my god!

Just then Jenny turned towards the front of the classroom and her eyes met mine. Her eyes turned hard and her smile turned into a frown. This is how she usually looks at me, I’m surprised that she isn’t more surprised to see me. I guess she knows how I am and she knew I meant it when I said I would come here.

I glared back at her, but she just smiled and kissed Jack on the cheek again. Although I was too mad at her for doing that, that I did not see the annoyed look on his face when she kissed him. It only lasted a second so that’s probably why I did not see it, then he continued to talk to the blonde haired guy we saw him with yesterday.

I couldn’t do this. I had to get out of here before he sees me, just then, as if he had heard my thoughts, Jack turned to look at the front of the room with a confused look in his eyes.

I ran as fast as I could out the door of the classroom, not even waiting to see if Vanessa was following me, she is a goody two shoes after all. All I could think about is that I hope he did not see me.

It would be so embarrassing if he saw me here and he is with my sister and probably has forgotten all about me. Then I would look like a loser for traveling all this way to see him only for him to like my sister more than me.

I continued to run across the campus not even knowing where I was going.

Vanessa POV

I looked at Lola’s back as she ran out of the class room.

Come on it was our first day at this school and she had to miss the first class.

I looked at the back of the room to see Jenny hanging on to Jack’s arm looking smug and Jack was looking towards me with a confused look on his face.

I laughed a little to try to hide my embarrassment and waved at him. That confused him even more.

I slid my eyes over a little bit, wanting him to stop staring at me and I met bright grey eyes and a head of gorgeous blonde hair. Oh, it’s the hot blonde guy from yesterday. I could feel a big smile creeping over my face. At first, he looked confused then he smiled a man-eater smile. I almost melted.

I just wanted to sit and stare at him all day, and maybe even talk to him and find out what his name is. But I know I really should see if Lola is alright.

That’s what best friends do for each other. I’ll just have to try to find him later. With that thought, I ran out of the classroom and started searching the campus for Lola.

Now where would a very upset spirit user hide to wallow in self-pity? I had no idea, so I started my, what is going to be a long, search.

Nick POV

I stared at the door to our class room, where the pretty new girl just ran out. Weird, I could have sworn that Ms. Zeklos had said new girls, with means there is another one.

Oh, well. I guess I’ll find out later in the day.

I turned to continue talking to my cousin but the look on Jack’s face was confusion mixed with a bit of curiosity.

I wonder……….

No, the other new girl could not have been the girl Jack has been obsessing with since he talked on the phone with her.

I guess I’ll just have to get used to Jenny hanging all over Jack.

I looked over at Jack again just in time to see Jenny give him another kiss on the cheek, I think she was aiming for the mouth, but he moved his head. Huh, I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

Vanessa POV

I had been looking for Lola for over an hour. I had checked everywhere I could think of. Then I decided to just look in the forest area around the school.

After a good half an hour of searching, I finally found her sitting on a big rock with her head down and her arms around her knees.

I didn’t want to disturb her so I just sat down and waited for her to tell me what upset her so much, although I think I have a pretty good idea of what it was.

“I can’t believe that he is with her.” Lola said after a while of us sitting and not talking. I looked over at her and saw that she was actually crying.

And let me tell you this Lola does not cry.

“Hey, it’s okay. Maybe he is just with her because he wants to get over you because he thinks that he will never see you.” I told her thinking that it might make her laugh.

I was right she did laugh. “Yeah, sure. Like that’s true. But I’m not going to let my sister win like this. I mean I have not even introduced myself to him yet so how can I know for sure if he really likes her and that he won’t ever like me?” Lola said with a determined look on her face.

“Yeah, that’s the spirit, never give up until you think that you have tried every possible thing that you could think of to get him to like you.” I truly think that once Jack gets to know Lola, the part of her that she keeps hidden for fear of getting hurt and not the mean bitchy part she shows everyone but me, that he will like her. “Let’s get back, we should really go to one class the first day we arrive at a new school, after not going to school in so long, don’t you think?” I ask Lola.

She laughed. “Yeah, you’re probably right. We did not make a good first impression on the teachers, did we? Although I was like this at my old school, all ways skipping class to hang out in the woods. But this is not you so as your friend I’m going to set an example for you and go to class.” She said with another laugh as she got up and started walking towards the school.

I got up and followed her towards the school thinking that this is definitely going to be an interesting school year.

I can’t wait for Lola to meet Jack, but mostly so that I can meet his blonde friend. I giggled just thinking about him. I wonder if he will like me.
