First day, NOT cool

[Alexa Barlow]

Alexa Barlow wasn't even half way through the day and already she wanted to go home. And not just home, as in back to the house, oh no, that wasn't her home. She meant HOME, the home back in Texas. That home. She missed it there. She didn't have many friends but she did have woods. Here was a desert. Boring ol' desert.

She grumbled, holding her tan messenger bag close to her. It had her notebook, which she wrote random stuff in, her new books-which she was on her way to the lockers to drop off, food and a monkey TY beanie baby, which she renamed Lucky. It was silly for her to carry it around, but oh well. She carried it.

She sighed, her short blond hair blowing in the wind as she sat down and drew the bag towards her, holding it. She opened it, brought out her books-weighed a ton and her notebook. She was ready to stand when, what she guessed as the 'no brain school bully' ran up and knocked the books out of her hands, and snatched her own personal book titled; "Why Aliens Exist and We Don't." The bully laughed, hard. "Hey!" he called to his minions, "New girls a freak!" he laughed.
"Hand that back!" she squealed standing and glaring. She stood on her tip toes slightly, her long converses showing their dirty spots all scrunched up.
"Or what? You gonna adduct me?" He laughed.
"No." She told him truthfully, "the spirit of books is going to curse you!" That probably wasn't the best thing to say as the rest burst into a fit laughter... Oh this wasn't so good.
"GIVE IT BACK!" she yelled again, stamping her foot angerily. She hated being short. And little. She was ahead of her grade, so people were taller. And meanier than her.

(Open to any high school peoples!)

[Dawn Summers ღ]

It was Alyssa Rose's first day and she was being shown round by this really lovely girl called Dawn Summers! She was being showed round When she noticed some girl getting some hassel from a big group of boys! She didn't want any problems but she had to help, so she decided to go about it with a new approach!

She signaled to dawn that she would be back in a minute and headed over there. She looked at the guy who appeared to be the gang leader "Heya, I'm new, my names Alyssa Rose i thought i'd introduce myself!" She said and held out her hand. He took it and said "Erm.. yer, I'm Rob, and these are my boys!" he said pointing his thumb behind him!

Alyssa leaned towards him to look at the book "Aliens hey, very cool but don't you think you should give it back to it's owner?" She said putting her hand on the girls shoulder! "She your friend?" The gerk guy asked, Alyssa nodded!

Lex took the time of the dumbfounded boy's attention to reach over and snatch the book back from his arms and into hers. She stuck out her tongue and picked up her bag. "Thanks," she said coldly as the boy mumbled something about; "Watching backs" and walked away. Lex rolled her eyes, stuffing the book back in her bag. "Thanks," she told the gril with a smile and a shrug. "Being little isn't very cool," she said with a sigh. "I'm Lex," she said, holding out her hand that a very colorful armband, from wrist to elbow.

[Dawn Summers ღ]

"Alyssa Rose! As you may have guessed!" She said shaking Lex's hand! "And this is Dawn!" She said as Dawn approached. "Hey!" Dawn said! Alyssa Rose turned to Dawn and back to Lex. "We were going to get some lunch! Wanna join?"

[Alexa Barlow]

"Hi," Lex said with a grin as Dawn approached. She bit her bottom lip, considering for a moment or two. How many chances did she get to become friends with someone on the first day? "I love food," she said smiling brightly and placing the strap of her bag over her shoulder and stuffing her hands in her capri pants. "Where do we go?"

[Dawn Summers ღ]

"Follow me!" Dawn said! When they got there Alyssa Rose turned to Dawn, "Ok," She said "What here is actually edible?" she said looking at the food. Dawn bit her lip and turned to Lyssa and Lex, "The Jello!" She said hopeful they wouldn't mind that everything else sucked! Alyssa cringed slightly "Yum!" they all picked up a bowl of jello and went to sit down! "So you're from Texas right?" Alyssa asked Lex

[Alexa Barlow]

Lex, who had also taken some of the fresh fruit of the cafeteria followed bhind, sitting next to Dawn. She sent Alyssa a quizzical look, "How'd you know?" she asked, blinking and biting into the apple. "Is it cuz my accent? People say I don't have one, but I always fear I sound like a hick... " she blinked, taking another bite.

[Dawn Summers ღ]

Alyssa looked at Dawn and back again "Magic!" She said and giggled! She was just having a bit of fun with Lex before she came out and said what she knew! Dawn turned to her! "Your gonna freak the girl out!" Dawn said.

[Alexa Barlow]

Lex gave a slight chuckle as she sipped her water from her bag. "I'm not freaked," she told her honestly, holding up the book she had been reading. "You're talking to a Mulder here, remember?" she asked with a grin. She placed the book back in the bag and leaned forward, making her voice soft, "Do you really know magic?" she asked all interest perked.

[Dawn Summers ღ]

Alyssa rolled her eyes! looked at the bottle of water Lex had just takken a sip of Alyssa Rose beckoned it to her with a finger! The bottle came to her and she caught it with one hand! "Convinced or do we need something more?" She said smiling! "Alyssa!" Dawn shouted "Anyone could have seen that!" She wasn't annoyed just worried!

[Alexa Barlow]

Lex's jaw dropped, and if she had more of jaw to drop, more would have. She stared for a moment and the more she stared the more she began to smile. "A simple "yes" would had sufficed," she replied, reaching over and taking her bottle out and staring at it amazement. "I've always known," she told them truthfully, "That there were powers out there stronger than our own," she replied still smiling. "Vampires, witches, werewolves... Aliens. Mum and Dad just figured I watched too many reruns of X-Files."

[Dawn Summers ღ]

"Your dads wrong!" Alyssa said! Dawn turned to Lex! "That and more! I've seen them all on numerous occasions! My sister is a vampire slayer!" She stopped! "Was a vampire slayer¬!!!!"

[Alexa Barlow]

"I actually do watch too many re-runs of X-Files. Mulder's a cutie." she said, her brain not catching up to what Dawn was saying until- "Vampire Slayer? I haven't heard of one of those... And what do you mean, /was/?" she asked, taking a bite of her apple and taking a drink of her water.

[Dawn Summers ღ]

Dawn was about to start crying but then stopped herself, for a moment there she had almost forgotten about Buffy! "Erm... It's a girl and in every generation one girl is choosen and given loads of power to fight vampires, deamons, basically all evil. Buffy was a slayer! Until she died 3 months ago!"

[Alexa Barlow]

Alexa bit her lower lip, wincing slightly and shacking her head slowly, "I'm sorry," she said truthfully, "I didn't mean to... I'm sorry... YOu were close," she said with a sigh and another shake of her head. "I didn't mean to allow the spirit of memory back in." she sighed, scanning her brain for a different subject matter. "See any good movies lately?" she asked forcing a chipper tone.
