Cyrus banged on the door of her Aunt Del's door, "Hey! It's Cyrus!" She said, smiling. She pulled out a stick of gum and chewed it, waiting for someone to answer.

((Cousin..like Ridley :) ))

"Hey, little J!" Cyrus exclaimed.

"I came to chat with our dear aunt, little J." Cyrus said, ruffing her cousin's hair and smacking her gum, "Aunt Del!" She called, "We have to chat."

((From Seth's POV))
The mornings that I wake up in the bitter freezing cold and have to get out of bed are nearly as bad as the town itself. But I do it, because if I have any hope of getting a paying job and having a family of my own in a few years, I have to pass high school.
I got up and got dressed, waving to my aunt Angela on the way out. By now, I should be calling her 'mom'. Aunt Angela has been the one to take care of me since my paretns death in a car crash when I was ten.
I grab my backpack and and apple, then go out into my car. It was my dad's old one. A vintage 1959 black jag. People around here have tried to buy it off me, but, out of memory for my dad - or perhaps sheer stupidity - I don;t sell it. I drive off to school, readying myself for a full day of torture.

"Aw, Aunt Del, don't be like that." Cyrus's face slid into a faux pout, "I just came in regards to my mother, Lucinda."
Lucinda was always knows as 'the one that got away'. She had visions of the future. Cyrus smiled, "She said that little J here should watch out, because her Claiming is going to be hard-core horrible."

SETH -
I went into the crowded english classroom, though I could hear the loudness from down the hall. Cheerleaders flirted with guys, nerds coward in corners.

SETH -
I spotted a girl I did not recognise. She stood out because she didnt lok like the rest. She wore normal clothes, not straps and strings. I took my seat and continued to watch her, eyeing the smuged number on her hand.

((Nice BC quote :) ))
CYRUS -
Cyrus left Aunt Del's house and went into the woods to find her cousin - Ridley's - friend, John Breed. He had his motorcycle parked by the lake, and he was sitting on the dock.
"Hey baby-face." She said with a smile.

SETH -
I rolled my eyes at the way Whitney Wycoff looked at the new girl. Like she was unworthy of the hideously noisy classroom. She toughed my shoulder, "Seth, hey. Listen, Friday ngith, Jake, Penny, Eden, Wyatt, Hunter, Myra and I are going to a movie, and you're coming."
Whit always acted like that. Never a please or even asking me. She made my plans for me.
I sighed, "I'll see if Im free." I answered.

SETH -
I turned back to the girl. There was this odd radiation between us. Like magnetic. But electric as well.

CYRUS -
John turned to Cyrus, "Hey."
"So how's my little cuz Lena doin'?" She asked.
"I don;t know, I don;t see her much," John admitted, "She spend nearly all of her time with that Mortal."

SETH -
A thought popped into my head, a thought that was not my own. What's going on? I thought

SETH -
Oh gosh, wow...um, would you like to explain why I can hear you? Am I crazy or something?

SETH -
Having to do with what? Oh, I'm Seth. by the way. Seth St. Hudson

SETH -
I watched Jay Duchannes leave, an uneasy feeling up my spine.

SETH -
I rolled my eyes and grabbed Whitney's arm, "Hey, lay off."

((haha! thats so funny! like lemons and rosemary!))
CYRUS -
After her meeting with John, Cyrus went down to the high school. She burst through the doors and found the nearest person, "Hey, Cutie." She told him, "Have you seen a girl around here? Ratty jeans, curly hair? She's new. I'm her cuz, Cyrus."

SETH -
"Um," I said. The girl was blonde and probably the single most alluring girl I had ever come in contact with, "Do you mean Jay?"

((true that :) lol ))
SETH -
"Um, actually I don't know where she is." Let the seducing girl go find some other pushover to hit on I thought.

CYRUS -
"Oh, there she is!"

CYRUS -
"Nothing, Little J." Cyrus said, twirling a piece of hair around her finger, "I just wanted to let you know that I think that I might enroll in this little trainwreck. Pick up a little education."

"I'm just here to protect you."

CYRUS -
Cyrus auotmatically hardened, "I didn't choose this, okay."

CYRUS -
Cyrus shrugged off her cousin and went to find a guy to hang with.

SETH -
I found my seat in Mrs. History's class - the thousand year old Social Studies teacher ((just like Mrs. English lol :) )) - and froze. Jay Duchannes was in this class too.

SETH -
Explain what? It's just a schedule.

SETH -
I didn't reject her, she just seemed like trouble. Besides, I don;t think that she's into me anyway. She's a bit...

CYRUS -
Cyrus rolled her eyes and smacked her gum, flouncing off out of the school and back to the park.

SETH -
Really? How so?? You know, we really should talk for real. We have a lot to discuss. What do you say to a walk after school?

SETH -
Alright, great.

SETH -
I nearly laughed aloud but stopped myself. hey, by the way. why are you at the front of the class? That's No-Man's-Land. Its her good-eye-side.

SETH -
Then you probably don't belong in this class. It's filled with morons.

SETH -
Hey!

SETH -
I know, I know. I thought.

SETH -
I watched as Mrs. History called on Jay.

SETH -
I could tell that most of the cheerleaders in the back of the class were caught between dropping their jaws in awe, or wanting to come to the front of the room and pour their slushies down Jay's head. I could help laughing inside my head at their reaction, as they sat in the back staring.

SETH -
I smiled at the thought of how hard this school was going to be hit with Jay in it.

SETH -
"Oh here, let me get that for you." I said, getting up and picking up the notebook that fell open onto the ground. "So, you like to write, huh?"

SETH-
I felt an electric current run through me, "Mostly just reports and whatnot. Maybe I'll get to read one of your poems some day."

((I think that can be arranged ;) ))
SETH -
"Oh, please. Why would they be bad?" I asked.

"Yeah, it seems like someone like you wouldn't be into sharing things with people like me." I said.

"Whoa, careful." I said, "I looked up at the dead light, "That's weird..."

SETH -
I smiled, "Yeah. After school, right?"

((Sure))
SETH -
I waited underneath the oak tree outside of school for Jay.

"Oh, I was hoping you would. It would just be a shame if you died. But I would plan you a nice funeral." I said in mock horror.

"Alright, roses it is. Red, I assume?"

"Well, I'n not exactly the flower expert. But my mom liked white roses."

"I thought I was going to show you around?"

SETH -
I thought about that for a second. The Dovewood Manor. She lived in Dovewood Manor? No way. Martin Dovewood was pretty much the heir of Boo Radley.

((Is it okay that I named him? I can change it if u want. I tried to make it similar to Ravenwood :) ))

((Ur welcome :) ))

SETH -
I hitched my backpack over my shoulder and headed home. And the smell of her was still lost in the grass.

SETH -
I hurried home after football practice, careful to make sure that Emma didn't accuse me of being late.
She was sitting at the table, doing her daily Sudoko with a sharp pencil. A crowd of food and baked food was lounged across the counter. Uh oh. Emma always baked when she was nervous.
"Seth St. Hudson, you betta make sure that you aren't draggin' mud in from your football cleats into my clean house!"
"No, Emma. I set them outside." I replied. "So what's going on? Why are you nervous?"
"Who says I'm nervous?"
"The flour and sugar."
"Oh, alright. There is a new family in town and I'm not sure I trust 'em."

I couldn't help it. I couldn't stop thinking about Jay Duchannes. I wanted to not be assossiated with her and have an easy high school, but right now, it didn't seem possible.

A sudden thought passed through my head - a thought that wasn't my own. A recognized it as the voice I had heard in my head earlier, the odd way Jay and I had comunicated. Do you forget I can hear you? he thought back.

I chuckled to myself, Well, now you might remember.

((Ev?))
