Chapter 4 - First day of School

Arya POV

“Don’t forget to pay attention to the twins' schedule, and don’t forget to get close to their friends, but not too close”, dad says, and I nod my head as I throw my backpack over my shoulder.

“Arya”, he says as I am walking out of the cave.

“Yes?”, I ask looking back at him.

“I love you”, he tells me, kissing the top of my head.

“I love you too, dad”, I reply as I give him a small kiss on the cheek, and I walk out of the cave. I have a long walk, around one hour, to get to the school. I start walking, and all I can think of is that kiss. Why is it bothering me so much? Silver keeps moaning and moping around my head, asking for the twins. I don’t know what the hell is wrong with her, but she needs to stop. It’s not like they are our mates.

I get distracted trying to think about proper social behaviour. I need to keep my anger in check, and I can’t let the twins get to me. I will only observe today, see how they react to their daily chores at school and then I will come up with a proper plan to put in action. It is the first time I am attending school anyway. I have to blend in and try not to get anyone’s attention on me.

Once I reach the school, I take a deep breath adjusting my clothes and hair, people walk past me, and they look me up and down. I can’t help but look at them sideways. It would be just too easy to rip their heads apart, but that’s not what I am doing here. I need to blend in. I need to focus. Focus Arya.

I walk into the school, and the twins' scent hits me. I feel my stomach turn, and I take a deep breath closing my eyes as I see them both standing with their girlfriends. I can’t help but feel jealousy. I shake my head, and I see Amy near the lockers. I wave at her and offer her a smile walking past the twins as I walk to Amy.

“Hey girl”, she says, giving me a half hug.

“Hey”, I let out as she introduced me to a bunch of people and to a boy named John. He is the nicest one of the bunch as he hugs me and he is very nice to me. I will never be able to remember all their names. I can hear the twins' girlfriends protesting as they walk away from them, and I look over my shoulders to see them both shooting daggers at my back with their eyes. I wink at them and focus my attention on Amy again. I am not going to lie, this is nice, to talk to people my own age.

“Hey, where’s the bathroom?” I ask, and Amy points at the door at the end of the corridor. I ask them to wait for me as I walk and they all stay behind talking. I open the door, and the twins' scent hits me, and I can see the two of them locking eyes with me. I turn around, apologising and closing the door behind me.

What the actual fuck is going on with me? I am never like this. I open the door again, and they are both gone. They are not inside the bathroom anymore, and the window is opened. I walk to it, and I look out, but I can’t see them. I can still smell them. They smell divine, and that is clouding my mind. I shake my head, walking to the stall and closing it behind me as I grab a notepad, and I write everything that I learned about them in the last ten minutes I am here in school.

I shove the pad back into my bag, and as I open the bathroom door, I see two girls I recognise looking at me with their arms crossed in front of their chest. Fuck.

I walk past them to the sink as I start to wash my hands. They both stand next to me, looking at their image in the mirror, and then they look at me.

“Stay away from our boyfriends”, They warn me. I look at them through the mirror and offer them a smile.

“Do I know you?” I ask innocently, and one of them grabs my arm and turns me to face her. I allow her to do so as I don’t want to cause a scene on my first day. That would only make things harder for me.

“I am Danica, I rule this school, if you don’t want any trouble, stay away from my boyfriend and me, did you hear me, you plague?” she asks. I offer her a small smile and nod my head as I yank my arm back.

“I heard you loud and clear”, I say, looking her in the eyes.

“Come on, let’s go”, the other girl says as the bell rings. They both walk out of the bathroom, and I take a deep breath trying to control my temper, so I don’t smash their heads against a wall. Who the fuck do they think they are? I hate them so much.

I look at myself in the mirror, and as I open the door, Amy appears, grabbing me by my arm and pulling me to class. Apparently, we share most of the classes. Amy pulls me to the middle of the room, and I sit next to her. Not long after, the twins walk in, and they both look at me as if they were angry. What the hell.

They both sit at the table behind us, and Amy puts her book in the middle of the table so we can share.

“Hey Amy, do you have a pen?”, One of the twins asks, and Amy rolls her eyes.

“How about you bring your own next time?”, She barks back at him as she passes him a blue pen. I look at them through my shoulder, but they both look so tense. It’s actually quite amusing.
