"Ohhh!" The air was ones again filled with shouts of exclamation. North's face flushed and hardened as a wave of embarrassment washed over his anger. He turned to me and seemed to be marking my face into his brain for next time.

"We will see where this ends!" North spat at me and pushed the other guy out of his way while storming off, everyone in his part hurriedly moving away before he transferred aggression on them.

Dais, my roommate walked hurriedly like a twit afterwards him and the two girls.

"Alright everyone!. Lunch break movie is over, take a hike or go take a bite...ohh see what I did there, Knight?" A brown skinned boy that had been standing behind knight Incase he needed support waved people off with his silly joke. 

"Thank you for that. But I totally had it under control" I said confidently to the red head boy called knight, I took brief glances at his hair! They looked so much like mine, exactly the same.

I just don't get why he's not covering them up. The way he stood with so much confidence and didn't try to hide his hair like I always used to do before I met Jacob, my ex boyfriend. I quickly shoved the painful memory off my mind. I hate Jacob now and I want to forget about him. 

"Oh no!. You couldn't have had it in control for long!. Do you know who that was?. That was North Hale, his father owns this school. Scratch that late father! And to all we know it might soon belong to him. Gosh! He's going to turn all of us to his minions and control this school. I'm loan by the way and this is knight. I should say your knight in shining armor," loan said standing beside knight, clad in a sports jersey. 

I rolled my eyes at the way he said knight in shining armor, "Knight uhn?" I became aware of how Knight was staring deeply into my eyes, he seemed to be lost in a trance. 

Knight was staring at me without saying a word, his eyes were almost like mine, but even deeper, the deepest shade of red I've ever seen. 

He was clad in uniform. Silver colored trousers, nicely ironed, long sleeved white shirt and silver blazer. 

"Hey, thanks though" I nodded at knight feeling awkward at the way he was staring at me. 

"I haven't seen you around. You're new here right" Knight's deep voice asked. 

"I thought it would be obvious by now" I said sharply, pointing out that I wasn't in uniform. 

"What's your name?" He asked. 

"Jessica. Jessica Bell" a small smile crept to the side of my lips. Gosh, I never thought I would meet someone hotter than Jacob and who rocks red like it's nobody's business. Loan cleared his throat, "Hm hm hm. Knight in shining armor that just saved you from an alpha wol... Sorry I meant mons... monsters. Again, I'm loan, Knight's wing man."

"Nobody cares loan. Jessica, I..i like your eyes" knight said softly. 

"Oh hm" i glanced at my legs shyly hiding my eyeballs, "Yours too and..." I began to say but a loud shriek cut me off. 

"Knight?. Is this where you've been?. Babe I've been waiting in the cafeteria" a girl dressed sluttily in a short silver skirt and white crop top that definitely wasn't uniform, with very long blonde hair threw herself on knight. Knight was still staring at me and he didn't hug her back. 

The blonde lady had to turn to face what her boyfriend was staring at, she immediately smiled when she saw me, "You're the girl in the video everyone's been talking about. Girl! You're my new girl crush!. Way to kick that North's ass. Hi I'm Juliet, knight's one and only lady" she took my hand and shook it. The smell of her perfume almost choked me. And I could smell the tan on her skin. 

"I'm Jessica, I'd love to stay but I gotta find my class. Thank you all" I hurried off feeling hurt by the fact that the only red haired person I was meeting was already taken. What bad luck!. Blue hair wasn't so bad in terms of looks, but I couldn't imagine being with someone who almost hit me. Why am I even considering North?!. 

I walked briskly to nowhere feeling eyes on me in my odd clothes. Everyone else was in a Crescent valley uniform. Silver skirts for the girls with long sleeved white shirts and silver ties. Some of them had on silver colored sweaters and some had white colored vest. I had to admit they looked nice. 

"Jessy!" I felt two girls bounce to both sides of me. It was the weird twins and my roommate, More and Ever. 

"We just watched the video," they said together. 

I've only lived with them for a couple of days and the twins were both fond of doing that, saying things together. They looked exactly alike without a single freckle to differentiate them. They both had short blonde hair and pale white skin. 

"What video?" I asked absentmindedly. 

"The video where you hit North Hale!. How could you?" They said together again.  

"Will you two stop doing that!. And he tired to hit me first. I only did what I should have done." 

"But of all people, North?" More or Ever asked..

"What's the stupid fuss about this North guy, just because he's popular?. I don't want to hear his name anymore."

"But he's not just popular!. He's everything!" They said together again. 

I stopped and stared at both of them, "Point me to the counselor's office!" I simply said. 

"Second floor, sixth room to the right."

"Thank you. Now get off my back and pretend you don't know me." 

I walked briskly away.

Later that evening, I slammed my book shut after my last class for Monday, maths. Who the heck puts maths in class in the afternoon! It barely even sticks to your brain in the morning talk less in the afternoon. It was a long day, everyone had something to say about my ripped Jeans, but thankfully they gave me my uniform and now it's sitting in my locker. 

Before I could get up from my seat, my roommates More and Ever rushed to me and I think the one called Ever sat on my desk, her eyes glued to her phone. 

"I thought I told you two weird twins to pretend you don't know me" I groaned. 

"We heard, but we didn't obey" they said at the same time. 

"Have you seen the video of this girl from Beverly hills turning into a werewolf?" Ever's eyes widened as she stayed glued to her phone screen. 

I immediately touched my head to check if my wig was in place and cleared my throat. 

"We... werewolf don't exist!" I quickly said standing up. 

More and Ever weird exchanged looks and glanced back at me, "UHM yeah!" They said together. Their almond beaded eyes glittered strangely, they looked exactly alike and, it was impossible to know them apart. 

"It's probably just video effects to embarrass the poor girl" I began to pack my books into my bag.  

"I can't even see her face clearly, I wanna know who she is" Ever tried to zoom in the picture. 

"Hey, what are you guys doing after school?" I quickly pulled both of them by the hand. 

"Uhmm. We were planning to go to a hangout. We have an event to plan" they said together, "a very special event" they added. 

"Really?. Can I come?. It will be a good way for me to make friends. My first party at Crescent academy. Whose party is it?." 

"Hm invites only!" More said with a nod. 

"Did you two get invitations?. Don't any of you have plus one invite?." 

They said together, "No." 

"What kind of party is that?." 

"Hm see it's sort of special. Just anyone can't come and you can't leave the school premises because you're a boarder." 

"You two are boarders too and you're leaving" I said getting slightly pissed. 

"We gave a quick notice."

"I can give a quick notice too. Now my mom can't stop me from attending a party!." 

As me, More and Ever were about to leave the classroom, a tall guy in baggy clothes with the shyest face approached us. 

"Hey" his voice was barely audible. 

"Oh Sam!" More and Ever said together. 

He looked down at his feet and said, "Th...tha... thank you for saving me from my brother in the morning" he told me. 

"Oh it was actually a mistake" I whispered to myself. "Be a sport. It was nothing. Sam right?" I put forth my hand for a handshake, smiling kindly. 

"Yeah" Sam took my hand in his but as if electrocuted, he let go and flinched back. Sam immediately looked up and stared directly into my eyes, I was so shocked at his reaction. He panted as if he had been running a long race. 

"Are you okay?. Did I hurt you?" I asked in confusion trying to get close to him but Sam was off, he ran away.
