I opened my eyes at the bright light. I squinted at my parents as they carried the boxes and bags into the house. The house. Right. The brand new house. I didn't want to move from my old school. But I also kind of did. But we had no choice, not after the persistent bullies finally broke me. When I was found with a knife in my bathroom. My parents thought a whole new life would do me good.

I hugged my sweatshirt tighter around me and put my boots on. I hadn't realized that I took them off during the drive. I opened the door of the car and stepped in front of the house. It didn't look as bad as our first house. This one had intact windows and blinds. The outside was covered with bricks and the door was a dark grey.

"You're awake! Here, sweety, can you put this into the living room?" My mom asked me, startling me from my thoughts.
"Sure." I mumbled. I walked into the house. I guess our house, and placed the huge box on the living room floor. I took a quick look around before moving onto the kitchen and then upstairs to my room. It was decent. Not much bigger than my old room. I walked back out to the moving van and helped my parents with the rest of the boxes and with unpacking. By the time we were done, it was nighttime.
"I'm going to bed. Night, Mom. Night, Dad," I kissed them both on the cheeks and went to bed. I barely hit my head on the pillow before I was in a deep sleep.
I was so tired last night that I almost forgot about the fact that I'm going to a whole new, smart school.
As soon as my alarm went off I immediately regretted life. I quickly got ready.

(A/N: I SWEAR TO CHUCK AND THOR IF ANYONE ELSE COMMENTS ON HOW THEY DON'T LIKE THIS OUTFIT I WILL FIGHT THROUGH THIS MF SCREEN. K. THATS IT. BYE. )

(A/N: Dudes. Even after I wrote this why are you all commenting about how you don't like the outfit? If you only want to comment negative things then don't comment at all! It's so simple to refrain from saying that this outfit isn't good or whatever. I literally don't care. Please READ the story and comment about THE STORY instead of about ONE picture in this books. Please. And thank you.)

My dad dropped me off at school before he went to school. He is a 10th grade History teacher.
"Bye, kid. Have a good day at school! Love you" I kissed his cheek and mumbled a love you before stepping out of the door. I walked into the huge doors of Midtown School of Science and Technology. My mom is a cytologist. She specializes in the study of cells. I still haven't told her that I want to be an actress. The exhilaration and the relief of not having to be yourself. But I don't think she would understand. She would probably lecture me about how that's not a good economic career and say that it's just a childish dream. I suddenly felt a tingle on my right wrist. But I was too busy staring at the huge school in front of me. I walked into the main office to get my schedule and to finish registering. I made my way to my locker, weaving through the crowded hallways. Suddenly I felt really insecure. Was she looking at my wrist? Were my soulmarks showing? I felt naked and exposed. Now my wrist was really tingling and this time I noticed. It was hurting me but at the same time it brought me relief. One of my other halves is in this school right now.
I stopped at my locker leaving the supplies that I don't need. It was painful to stop. My bond wanted me to find him. Or her. Finally, I let it lead me. It lead me to another hallway, there I saw this kid getting bullied. Suddenly, the want to hide vanishes and pure rage took over as I saw him being held against a locker. I started walking towards him.
"What's up, Penis Parker?" the bully sneered.
"Let go of me, Flash." he tried to wiggle out of his grip.
"Or what?"
I walked up beside him and looked straight into Flash's eyes. My soulmark finally seemed content and I felt the boy's hand take mine.
"Or I show you my knowledge of medieval torture." I seethed. It was like I was someone else. I have never talked back to anyone before. But here I was protecting someone I just met. My soulmate! I saw fear flash across his eyes but he covered it pretty quickly. He rolled his eyes and let go of him. He gestured to his goons and walked away.
"Whoa. That was badass!"
I turned toward him, letting go of his hand. "I have never done anything like that before in my life! I don't know what happened to me! I just felt this sudden rage come over me as I saw this cute guy getting bullied. When I realized it's my soulmate, it's like I wasn't me anymore."
I blushed when I realized that I just called him cute. Oh my god. Claire. Shut your mouth. He also blushed. Wow. He's so cute.
"My name's Peter Parker." he told me with a shy smile.
"I am Claire Benton." I replied with my own shy smile.
