"We need to talk " Selena said and pulled Anne to the chair.
"First, what do you want to tell me?" Selena asked and Anne cleared her throat.
"I was swimming in the pool at the party when I felt this weird feeling of someone watching me so I turned to check and I saw a group of people I think two boys and three girls but I could not see their faces clearly and then I went underwater and I fell into a trance seeing weird stuffs, dead bodies, a gate underwater and I started shedding tears, I'm so confused"Anne said.
"Red sea… Demons…Why are you being shown all this things"Selena muttered under her breath.
"Mum" Anne called again.
"Dear, I'm so sorry for keeping this away from you but there are things you need to know now. You do think you can be underwater for an hour but you… You really can be underwater for a lifetime. I don't know how to tell you this but you are not human, you are a half demon half siren" Selena said and Anne gasped.
"What do you mean?" She asked shockingly.
"I'm a siren while your father is a demon…" Selena was saying.
"I thought you said my dad is dead?" Anne asked.
"Yes he is, killed by his own people. This is what happened, when we found out I was pregnant, we both told our families though we were from different race, when my family agreed to me giving birth to you,i and your father made an agreement to meet but when I arrived at the scheduled place, I met him dead"Selena said and a tear rolled down her eyes. "Killed by his own people, I returned to my land, Red sea but I met all my family dead and I saw dead bodies piled up in my land how it was in the trance killed by them, the Demons. I had to take you and run to the human world for safety"Selena said and raised her head to see Anne in tears.
"I'm sorry… I…"
"How was he? My dad?" Anne asked.
"He was a good man and a nice man, I'm sorry for not telling you earlier, I wanted you to live a peaceful life but the Demons are here, they are the people you saw in the party and they followed you home, I've got to teach you basic skills on how to protect yourself, this is the first time I'm saying this for Eighteen years. I was the daughter of a priestess and he was the son of a demon Lord"Selena said sadly.
"He would have wanted you to tell me earlier" Anne said.
"I did it for your own good, I'm sorry Anne" Selena said.
"My own good? By not telling me my roots?" Anne asked and stood up walking into her room.
"Anne, Anne I'm sorry, I wanted to protect you from them, the Demons are no good people and I can't fight against them" Selena said but Anne did not reply locking her room door.
She did not know if she should be sad or angry or both. It was so confusing.
Next morning, Anne came out of her room ready for school and picked up her keys heading for the door.
"Anne, are you still angry at me?" Selena asked but got no response.
"Just stay for breakfast" She said again but Anne did not reply as she walked out the house.
Outside she took a deep breath and got on her bike speeding to school.
Anne parked her bike and slowly got down from the bike when she saw Tracy and Malia walking towards her.
"Hey Anne" The girls greeted her.
"Malia, Tracy, how are you both?" Anne asked.
"Good I think" Malia said and the girls started walking towards the classroom.
"I think I'm having an hangover" Tracy said.
"You were warned against alcohol darling" Malia said "And come to think of it, Shawn is quite hot"She added as she looked towards the door as Shawn makes his way into the class with some textbooks in his hands.
"First of, Shawn is not hot, he is a nerd like a freaking nerd, and coming from someone who is dating one of the most hottest boy in the school is quite weird and Shawn won't even agree to date you, I don't think he likes your types of girls, he prefers Chelsea"Tracy said.
"Oh come on… He is not dating Chelsea, they are just friends and reading mates" Malia said.
"But she is his only friend and they are so close, just take him off your mind, you know how your boyfriend and his friends bully him and…." Tracy trailed off when Miguel and his friends, Tom and Adrian walked in through the door.
"Come on girl, close your mouth or risk drooling" Malia said and Tracy shut her mouth immediately.
"Urgh… I have reason to say Miguel is blind cos why on hell is he not noticing me?" Tracy grumbled when she saw Vero walking towards Miguel and his friends.
In Moonlight High school, they were three groups of hot boys all in the senior science class.
Miguel and his friends, Tom and Adrian were the cold but handsome guys that the girls all desired but could not get close to.
Harris, Malia's boyfriend and his friends, Fred, Ben and Travis, the handsome bullies. And there was Remy and his friends, Ryan and Sam, the handsome playboys.
"F*ck you, son of a b*tch"The whole class could hear Vero swearing. It was evident she went to hit on Tom again and got rejected for the hundredth time this session.
Now for the girls, there were just two group but adding Anne and her friends will make it three;
Phoebe and her friends ;Vero, Amy, Zion and Angel. While Vero was having a huge crush on Tom, Phoebe was dating Travis, Angel was dating Sam or being played by him, Amy was dating Fred and Zion just broke up with Ryan, the fifth girl this session. The group of five girls were quite pretty but were seen as cold to others and arrogant.
Then they was Beatrix and her friends;Mulan and Sophie. Sophie was dating Ben, Beatrix had a crush on Miguel but too scared to approach him, she was dating Remy and Mulan was dating Ryan now. They were the female bullies and were so crazy.
Then Anne had her friends ;Malia and Tracy. Malia dating Harris but crushing on Shawn, the nerd. Tracy having a big crush on Miguel while Anne was getting to know Larry better and they were the most unpopular ones.
"Hey anyways, here come your boyfriend so I would advise you to stop staring at Shawn to avoid him being in trouble" Tracy said and averted her gaze from Miguel.
"Hey babe" Harris walked towards Malia and kissed her on her cheek. Tracy caught sight of Anne staring at the distance seemingly lost in thought.
"Hey…" She stopped when the Physics teacher walked in, Mr Jones.
"Hey students, we will be having our weekly test today"He said and the class erupted into grumbles. He shook his head lightly and wrote the questions on a board. It was a double period so he spent half a period on the test and began marking immediately.
"Time to announce the test scores and the test will make up 20 percent of your exams" Mr Jones said.
"Anne 15 over 20, Amy 10,Angel 8,Adrian 19,Beatrix 10,Ben 9, Fred 7,Harris 8,Chelsea 17,Malia 14,Mulan 12,Miguel 20, Phoebe 10,Remy 11,Ryan 10,Sam 7,Sophie 13,Shawn 18, Tom 20,Travis 10,Tracy 16,Vero 7,Zion 11"Mr Jones called all the scores with Miguel, Tom, Adrian, Shawn and Chelsea being the highest.
Soon, it was time for lunch and the students all hurried out of the class, but Malia could tell that Shawn and Chelsea were in an hurry going to the library, she felt a pang of jealousy but looked away walking to the cafeteria.
Arriving the cafeteria, Malia went to get the food while Anne and Tracy occupied an empty table.
"Anne, you are not eating?" Tracy asked when they started eating "And that's abnormal cos this is your best food and we all know you are a foodie, since morning you have been off, what's up with you?" Tracy questioned.
"I'm fine, I'm just feeling a little sick today, thanks for the concern" Anne said.
"Are you sure?" Malia asked and Anne nodded "So how are you and Larry?" Malia asked.
"We could not chat yesterday"Anne said.
"That crazy boy" Malia muttered.
"Babe" Harris called and walked towards the girls pecking Malia on the lips. Malia looked towards the door and saw Shawn and Chelsea walking into the cafeteria and she forced a smile at Harris.
"Harris, I need to talk to you" she said.
"I'm all ears" Harris said and settled into a chair.
"Let's break up" Malia said softly.
"What do you mean? Don't tell me it's because of that nerd?" Harris asked and Malia widened her eyes instinctively turning her head to look at Shawn but he was chatting with Chelsea.
"You see, he does not even know of your existence" Harris mocked.
"It's not because of him, I… I just don't want the relationship anymore" Malia said.
"And you think I'm a baby to believe that sh*t, for the past one month I could notice the way you looked at him, I'm not a kid Malia" Harris yelled at her attracting the attention of every body in the cafeteria.
"Don't you dare yell at her" Tracy shouted at Harris but Fred pulled her by her hair.
"Shut the f*ck up b*tch" He said mockingly and pushed her to the floor. Some students were already bringing out their phones to video and Tracy turned to look at Miguel who was concentrated on eating and a stray tear fell from her eyes.
