A new year, and new problems with drama for most normal teenagers. Romance, drama, the stress of mid terms and finals, yes they are a concern to me..but not as much.Unlike everyone else, I am here for another reason, and a much darker reason at that.You see, well everyone lives there lives normally, I have to find someone before that someone hurts innocent bystanders...I don't know who this person is, I don't know what they are, I don't know what they capable of and most importantly, I have no idea if I will ever find this person. This is why I came here to this school, I seem to be the agency's last hope...yet again.

The school itself seemed pretty nice, I mean where can you go wrong with a beige like brick color, and trees, but the uniforms. That was something I had hoped I could avoid,the tie seemed unnaturally tight, the colors were alright, I liked the color blue anyways but the shoes. Ugh, the shoes were suffocating my feet, it hurt walk. Still, the pain had to be worth saving a lot of people and catching this person. I just hoped I wouldn't be the only Italian there..

I let out a sigh, the school bell rang for the first class, and the start of a new long day. Slowly, other students shuffled their way into the two story building, still chatting with each other well I stood by, gnawing on my bottom lip.

People generally call nervousness of something new butterflies in the stomach ..to me it felt more like spiders walking around and biting. I shuddered again, this so felt like my fratello did this just to punish me for not listening to him a few days ago. I shook my head, if it was, I wasn't going to let him get the stat-faction of my uncertainties and utter fears.

"Right,Feliciano it's only until you find that person and then you can leave this place."I told myself with a nod, and then proceed to walk towards the main doors.

Jinx sat in her math classroom, doodling mindlessly on her notebooks. Little monster encircled the page with pentagrams and other things among them. They were supposed to get a new student today, she really didn't care about anything except the endless buffet at lunch. It was only a week or two into the first semester and she already felt like a caged animal, tapped inside this prison of learning.

She willed the clock to go faster, but to no avail. Sighing, she slumped unlady-like in her chair and looked at the ceiling tiles above her. The bell rung for first period and the teacher walked into the classroom, telling all the students to be quiet.

My first day at a new school and my first class was math, which unfortunately wasn't one of my best subjects. I let out another sigh as I walked around a bit aimlessly amongst the crowds,really what was I doing?Well,aside from not looking at any room numbers nor my schedule, I really didn't want to go to class.However, I didn't have much of a choice, and after actual attempting to look for this math class room I was lucky or unlucky enough to find it within a few seconds.

I drew in a long breathe, there was no reason to be this nervous. After all I had to do was seem friendly, which I was and smile. With a nod I stepped through the threshold of the class room and felt the color drain form my face. I had high hopes that it wasn't that noticeable in a class full of many other students with very watchful eyes.

"Um, excuse me, I um, I'm kinda new here." I told the teacher with a small smile.

The teacher told the new kid to find a seat and stay quiet, not caring about introductions, and continued with his preparations for class. Jinx looked up from doodling to see the new kid standing there and looked around, the only empty seat was the one beside her. With a groan, she motioned the new kid over and continued doodling, this time putting her earbuds in her ears to block out the other students talking.

I blinked a few times, something told me I was defiantly going to have issues with this teacher. Well, at least I didn't have to introduce my self to many other people, I so wasn't in the mood for that.

"Ahah, right, grazie..."I said walking away, I was trying so hard not to make any smart mouth remarks.

'Okay, find a seat, sit down and then..well sleep for the rest of the class..or draw..no! I have to try and be social.I gotta find this person.'I thought to myself when a girl motioned to the seat next to her. I wanted to thank her, but for some reason I got the impression she wasn't the type for lively chit chat with anyone. So I sat down, only glancing at her paper for a few seconds and almost double taked.

"..hmm."

Jinx left her headphones in through class and filled her paper up with monsters of all sorts and when the teacher asked questions, he only picked the front of the class. Luckily, she was more towards the back than the front. She leaned over her desk and tapped the back of the person in front of her, a girl with blonde hair, and asked for a stick of gum, and exposing some of the lower part of her back where a small tattoo-like mark was. The girl gave her one and Jinx leaned back again, covering the mark with her shirt as it rode back down her back and continued doodling, oblivious to the teacher or the other students.

Sleep, that's all I felt like dong. This teacher seemed to be speaking in some sort of monotone gibberish to me. My head dropped a little before my head would snap up for the fifth time and I would look around, and that's about the time I saw something peculiar about the girl next to me. Either that or she had a tattoo, but it seemed so different.

"...I suppose that could be something to look into.."I whispered to myself as a pulled a piece of paper and started leaving little reminders. Ever now and then I would look up until I finally rested a hand against my side."..tch"

The bell finally rang at the end of class and Jinx gathered her books, taking out her earbuds as well and stood up. She fixed her shirt and walked towards the door, people letting her pass because she was a pretty scary chick. Jinx walked into the hallway and over to the wall opposite of the door to her locker, starting to dial the combo. Once she had the locker open she stood there and fixed the little makeup she had on and got her books for her next class.

{I gotta go take a shower, so brb}
I jumped, once again I had fallen into a state of half awake and asleep. Well, at least this class was finally finished, this class seemed to take forever. When I was putting things back in my bag that girl passed by me, who was she anyways.
"..maybe, umm, excuse me miss?" I said to the girl that had given her some gum as I stood up

"Do you know who that girl was?"I asked her.

The girl with the blonde hair ignored him and passed through the door onto her next class as Jinx slammed her locker door shut with a bang. She fixed her books in her arms and fixed her shirt, heading to her next class. Chemistry. She headed upstairs and got into the classroom right as the warning bell sounded, taking a seat at the very back of the class.
[Kk]

"..uhmm..Okay, fine don;t answer me."I huffed, that was so rude! What did I do to get a cold shoulder?!
Maybe this place looked nice, but the people ugh. Well, there was hardly any point in being late to my next class, but when I existed the class my phone began to ring. Fratello, or at least one of them. I stepped aside out of the crowd
"Ciao?"I answered, it was Lovino. He had basically asked me if I had found anything yet, and all I had found so far was how stand offish everyone was. That's when I realized I could have asked the teacher. When I saw the girl go into another room I frowned, something wasn't right about her, something wasn't right about this place.
"Ah, fratello, gotta go."I told him and then hung up. Hopefully no one saw me. Still I headed to my next class.

Jinx stuck her earbuds in once again and paid no attention whatsoever to the teacher while the second period bell rang out loud and distant with her 'buds in. Nodding to the beat, she took out a sketchbook and started working on the creature she was currently drawing. It was a woman with the bottom half of her body the tail of a snake, her breasts were uncovered and Jinx was working on the scales at her tail trying to perfect them.

I was lost, the next class had already started and no one seemed all that willing to help me out. Today my lucked seemed to suck out loud,literally. Had no one ever heard of giving the new student a break?
"Come on!"I sighed before muttering some things under my breathe.
{should Jinx go outside into the hall,just so the two have some more of a meeting}

[Sure]

Jinx got up and took the poor beat-up brick that was the bathroom pass once the teacher took attendance, and opened the door into the hallway. She made her way halfway down the hallway before she saw the new kid from her math class. She took out a single earbud, music filling the hallway, and called out to him. "Hey kid, you lost?" She asked with a small smile. I love how the kids always get lost, it's really funny.

I stopped bit my tongue,and forced a pleasant smile as I faced her.
"Uhh, no, just walking around."I lied.

I really didn't want her or her little friend knowing I was lost, I just knew they would find it amusing. Again I chuckled, acting like I was on top of the world, which was unfortunately not true.

Jinx shrugged and turned towards the bathroom. "If you miss a class they send you to detention." She called over her shoulder as she entered the bathroom and checked her cellphone. There was only thirty minutes left in class anyways. She did her business and washed her hands, fixing her makeup in the mirror as well and left the bathroom again, headed back to class and not checking if the kid was still there.

"..right..what could possibly go wrong there."I thought aloud as I looked around. When I heard the door open again I glanced back and spoke, well more like asked.
"Tell me, you've been here longer then I have. What's wrong with everyone around here?"I asked her, to me this was a pretty valid question. Honestly, everyone seemed to be in the own little world, or own hell and was taking it out on everyone else.

"Kids here like to stay with others they've know forever, or close to forever. I only talk to people if I need something from them, or if they're an OK person. Like you." She said, giving the closest thing to a compliment that she has ever said. [Sorry if this doesn't make sense] "If you need help, just say so." She added, changing the subject almost completely.

[Gtg to bed, I'll reply in morning.]

"Tough crowd.."I muttered, but the teachers too. Even they seemed lifeless, I shrugged that off. For a second I must have looked shocked for a bit,"ahah grazie."I said cheerfully. IT was to know someone was willing to help me, even if she was pretty..different so far.
"Oh really, that's nice to know."I said again.
