Time for School

Jane's POV

Today is Monday.

A dreary, wet Monday for Volterra.

It is 5:35 and Alec, Demetri, Heidi, Felix, and I are preparing for school.

Aro is making us go this year. He said it would be good to catch up with today's world.

Sometimes his ideas aren't the kind I approve of.

"Sister it is time," Alec said from my closed door.

He waited for a reply, but then walked down the hallway and into the elevator.

I hurried and slipped on some long jeans, a long shirt, and a hooded coat. It wasn't that cold, but I can't predict the weather here.

I ran a brush through my shoulder length brown hair and took a rain check.

Everything seems ready for school… I thought.

I took one more look at myself. I wasn't anywhere near the prettiest vampire in the world.

More vampires looked at me as if I were a terrifying 13 year old girl.

My gift along with my eyes is what probably made me scary.

At least Aro kills everyone who looks down upon me... I thought, and skidded out of my room.

This year I would be in the 9th grade with Alec, and Heidi, Felix, and Demetri in 11th. Aro said I could pass for a freshman.

Personally, I think he was just trying to flatter me.

Here we go….

In the usual midst of gossip and scandal in the Volterra High halls, I heard something over and over.

'So where is this new Vivian Armanio?'

'I heard her dad owns like…10 vineyards in Italy.'

'Do you think she would like to hang out with me?'

'Where is she?'

'Is she pretty?'

By lunch, I was sick of it.

Whoever this Vivian Armanio was she better not bother us.

As Alec and I got some human food, we sat down next to Heidi and Demetri.

Felix was currently getting yelled at by the headmaster for pranks and back talk.

"What an idiot," Demetri muttered.

"I know really!" Heidi gushed. Heidi had a giant crush on Demetri, but he never did have the same feelings for her.

Alec on the other hand, had a crush on Heidi.

I would never understand love. Such a stupid emotion.

It made Alec a lovey dovey maniac.

The bell then rang for 4th period and I was heading out to Life Science 9.

As everyone filled in the empty seats, I sat in my usual window seat in the back. This was the one class I didn't have my brother. Well at least I had a whole row to myself.

No one dared to approach me because every time they would they would get a mysterious pain…

I chuckled to myself, 'Pathetic humans…'

Just then I heard a light tap on the door and the door opening.

"Um is this Life Science 9?" a delicate voice asked.
