Camry to if you want, he figured you could handle two cars at one time.” My mom said smiling. I didn’t know what to say, I had no words that would even measure the happiness I felt. “Thanks mom!” was all I could manage before running inside to get my bag and get to school. “Be careful hun!” my mom called as I sped out of the drive way and down the street.

“Holy mothers of all mothers! Your dad bought you that as a senior present?!” Cosette basically yelled in my smiling face, “Yep, he did. He felt bad that he couldn’t be the one to give it to me though, he had to leave on business.” Cosette gave me a look of pure pity, “can I please come live with you?! I wish my parents would buy me cool things! They just yell at me to get a life and move out.” She said dramatically. Laughing at her face, I put my arm around her shoulders, “well if you want, you can drive my Camry to school, just don’t break it.” I said holding out the keys to my Camry for her.

Her eyes grew three times their natural size, “you’re really going to let me drive your baby? I mean you worked your ass off to buy that Camry Bella, you really wouldn’t mind if I drove it to school?” shaking my head I put the key into her hand, “take it as a gift for getting me this sexy outfit.” I said smiling at her. “You are the best friend I have ever had you know that. Thank you so much! I can finally put my license to use!” laughing I followed her into the gymnasium for the induction ceremony.

Part One: 4 Induction Time

As the induction ceremony began, Cosette and I found some seats near the back, and looked around at all of the other children who had gone to school with us since kindergarten yet never seemed to notice us. The auditorium was loud with all the other students screaming “hello!” and “oh my gosh! It’s been forever since I’ve seen you!” rolling my eyes I sighed, Cosette looked over at me in pity, “Bells can you please try and cheer up, I know you’re going to be Alpha of the school, what’s so wrong with that??” she asked nudging my foot. Rolling my eyes I looked at her “Cosette if I really wanted that position, I would have tried a lot harder my sophomore and junior years; however I would rather not have that kind of power for these following reasons. One, I do not need any more attention put on me. Two, I do not need the extra pressure of the whole student body, teachers, and principal on me to make up decisions that most likely will be shot down and changed without my knowing. Three, I don’t care about the induction ceremony, period; it has not value to me at all. I think it is the most ridiculous thing a school could have. Cosette gave me a droll stare and rolled her eyes, she slumped back in her chair as the ceremony began.

“Welcome back seniors! Today we will have our annual Induction Ceremony!” There was a tremendous uproar from the student body. “Quiet down! We will begin by naming our Alpha, and so on and so forth. So without further ado, let’s begin.”  As the rest of school cheered and shouted their approval, Cosette and I sat there, void of emotion.

“Alright, let’s begin with the Omega and go up from there,” the principle announced a little to enthusiastically, “for the Omega place we will have Surya Styx, and Sterling Styx.” There were a few snickers as the twins walked up to take their place, “heh, everyone knows why the twins got Omega, they suck at everything.” I glared back at James, “shut up, at least they got a place; I don’t see you getting called to the stage for anything important.” I said before turning around to clap for my friends. The presentation went on like that for almost an hour, “finally it is time to name our last but not least, the Beta and Alpha’s will now be named.” There was a silence over the whole gym, everyone was looking around, hoping silently that their name was called, yet wanting to be there for their friends if they got called. “For our Beta place, Cosette Jones, please come on up and take your place with your fellow members!”

Cosette, looked around, wide eyes, and her jaw dropped as the gymnasium escalated into clapping and cheering. Smiling I have her a push “get up there and show off your stuff,” I was surprised to see her walk up there with confidence in her strides, Cosette had gotten her wish for the year, she would be with the exclusives, part of the popular crowd; even though I didn’t want to be part of the group, I felt a pang of jealousy. “For our final call, this year’s Alpha member will be, Tristan “Blurr” Kore.” I watched silently as Blurr walked up to the stage and shook the principles hand, I couldn’t help but remember my dream. The gym erupted cheering and jumping around, thinking it was the end of the ceremony and the celebration could take place.

The principle stood and waited for everyone to settle down, “now that we have announced our members of the senior class, we have a new position to fill, this position is special and is very rarely given out, and very few students are chosen for this position, it is The Shadow.” No one spoke, I looked back at James to see if he knew what it was, and he just shrugged, and sat back. “This special position is going to Belladonna Cameo,” no one spoke as I walked up to the stage, I could feel the cold stares as I took my place next to Blurr, no one clapped, no one cheered, they all stared. The principle took the post one last time, “now this concludes our Induction Ceremony, please enjoy the refreshments, and be sure to pick up your schedules before classes start at noon!”

The gymnasium emptied out quickly as students rushed to get the best deserts and drinks; I sat on the stage, blankly staring out into nothingness. “Earth to Bella, are you coming for some cake or not?” Cosette asked, looking up I nodded “yeah, but could you bring it to me, I don’t really feel like being around the rest of the senior class at the moment…” I said. She nodded her head in understanding and walked away.

Part One: 5 The Beginnings

After a few weeks of the glares and snickers I got walking down the halls, my senior year had just begun and everyone seemed to want to kill me, I started getting into the jest of things. I especially enjoyed my Ancient Greek History class. Cosette and I had most of our classes together, and the ones that we could sit next to each other, were the focal points of the day, in which we passed notes and doodled on notebooks.

“This week we will be continuing our lesson on the Early Greeks, beginning with the Minos and Mycenae’s,” Mr. Bryon began talking as he passed out note sheets for us to fill in while he went through and talked. Cosette and I took our papers and looked at each other with droll stares; unlike the other students, Cosette and I had a firm understanding of this class, due to our mothers teaching us all about Greek history since we were two years old.

“Wanna bail? We could go hang out in Mrs. Montague’s room until lunch.” Cosette whispered as maps of the two civilizations were hung onto the whiteboard, “Cosette, we haven’t been in school for more than three weeks, and you’re already wanting to skip class” I whispered back rolling my eyes, but smiling at my friend.

After what felt like a life time of fill in the blank Mr. Bryon finally began talking my kind of work, “okay students, you guys can work in pairs to fill in your graphic organizers and if you finish that early, then begin coloring in the maps I have given you. Please make sure to read the instructions thoroughly so you don’t make any mistakes, I don’t have any extra copies!” he warned as he went behind his desk and began tapping away on his computer.

It took Cosette and me a whopping ten minutes to fill out our organizers and color in the maps, so we got bored, and started talking about what we would be doing for the weekend. “I have to study for my physical science test, that’s on Tuesday, but I should be able to go out Saturday as long as I don’t have to babysit for my mom again.” I told her while she was making plans for another big shopping trip while the sales were still good. “Mr. Bryon, why does Cosette and Belladonna get to talk and not do their work while the rest of us are hard at work?” Kendra asked while sneering in our direction; our eyes rolled simultaneously as Mr. Bryon looked up from whatever important work he was doing on his computer, “girls, could you be a little quieter while you worked, please?” he asked, I nodded my head, but Cosette had other plans, obviously.

“Mr. Byron, I don’t mind sitting here quietly while doing my work; however Bella and I have finished the graphic organizer and coloring in the map, as well as answer the exit questions and read the chapter we will have for homework this weekend.” Looking over at Cosette I gave her a look and shook my head, hoping she would be quiet, “I find it difficult for us to just sit here with nothing to do, I do apologize, Kendra if we were bothering you, while you are texting and obviously not doing the work that was assigned,” I wanted to melt after that.

Glaring Kendra opened her mouth to spit out her venomous words, but Mr., Byron got to her before she could, “Kendra, bring me your phone please, so I know that you are doing your work, rather than texting your friends. Cosette and Belladonna, please bring me your work so I can see if you have done it correctly.” As all three of us begin to walk up there, I could feel the
