"Alan..." I said lowly as I studied this guy who stood before me. He had messy jet black hair, an oval face, pale skin, thin pink lips and a black stud earring on his left ear. He had a black beaded necklace clasped round his neck and a small sword tattoo on his hind neck -so small you could only notice it when he turns and you deliberately observe that region. On his wrist were two beaded bracelets of the same shade as that on his neck and his fingers were adorned with rings. All in all, he wasn't bad looking Jude could do better, way better.
Alan put a hand round Jude's neck and they began talking about stuff. Since the sight in front of me didn't interest me, I continued picking at my food. After a while, I began to feel quite uncomfortable, as though someone was staring at me. I looked up for the first time in a few minutes and not only was the table crowded but everyone was looking at me.
I dropped my fork and swallowed the bile in my throat. I tried saying something but only croaked so I tried once again after mustering enough courage to say...
"Hi"
Wrong move. Everyone began talking at once.
"I'm Kellen" "I'm Kenneth" "Christopher" "Annabelle" "Aurora" "Isa" and they went on and on and on until...
"You guys chillax! What's all these about?"
"C'mon Jude, you can't blame us. It's been ages since we've had a new student" one of the guys I identified as Christopher said.
"Goodness knows how you made it this far with the number of enemies you have" A brunette said and a number of people let out snickers and chuckles.
"Whatever" Chris said sinking into a chair whilst rolling his eyes. I was still holding my breath but since I couldn't, I let it all out alongside a sigh.
"Guys, these is my bestie. Sister, friend, classmate, school mate and soul mate. She is everything and anything I need."
"Awwn" the girl who had introduced herself as Annabelle said. She was a brunette of average height with brown orbs and an oval face. Her nose was a small bump and her lips was a pink thin line. A guy tapped on her shoulder and soon they got engrossed in a conversation. The bell, a monster like screech went which made everyone get up from their chairs and walk out of the hall.
"Follow me" Jude said and I nodded walking by her side. "So here's the plan. I'd get your stuff, we'd drop them off in our room and then head to class immediately. I do not want to get late."
"Wow! So you no longer stab class?"
"It was only once." Jude said with an eye roll.
"Roll your eyes one more time and I'd pluck it out"
"Take a step towards me and I'd make you walk on your head" Jude fired back. I raised my hand in mock surrender and took a step away from her.
After a knock, Jude opened the door to Ms. Stone's office. She wasn't in but my schedule, textbooks, 'school supplies' and other necessities were kept in one compartment of her shelf. Jude and I split the stuff into half. I carried the lighter half while Jude carried the other.
Soon enough, my things were arranged in our room and my backpack was filled with necessary books and equipments.

The day went really quick. Annabelle and the other guy, Ryker became my really good friends. I learnt a couple of interesting facts about Hendrix and went on a tour round the building. I adjusted the blanket that was wrapped round my body and let the sleep take over me.
