The First Day

Alice walks into her new school. It's the middle of her junior year. She had to transfer schools after an event happened at her last school. She walks into her new school anxious to have a new life. As she heads for the office she hears an argument happening from the end of the hall. At the end of the hall stand two boys. They look almost identical. The boy that appears slightly bigger than the other one grabs the smaller one and slams him into the locker. Suddenly the boy went sliding down the hallway. Alice let out a yelp in shock.

"God damn it Maximus. You scared the girl."

"I don't give a fuck Max. You stole my fucking lunch. I spent 15 damn dollars on it and you ate it you bastard."

Alice quickly walks into the office to avoid the boys. She turns and faces the last sitting at the desk.

"Hello, my name is Alice. I was transferred here. I'm supposed to start here today."

"Yes, Elizabeth's granddaughter. Welcome to our school. I'm Elaine I'm one of the current administrators of the school it's a pleasure to meet you.

" Yes Ma'am the same."

"Well, Alice your buddies for the day should be here shortly. Since your grades are top of the line we put you into AP Honors in all the subjects. Sadly there aren't many AP H students here. So you'll have the same classmates in all your classes. I have chosen the two of the smartest students in the class to be your introduction buddies for the day."

Suddenly a boy came crashing through the door.

"Ah, it seems your buddies have arrived. Just give it a second."

Maximus walked through the door picking up his brother.

"Sorry man thought the school doors were stronger."

"It's okay."

The two boys turned toward Alice and Elaine. Alice couldn't believe what she was seeing. Not only did these boys break a solid oak door and shrugged it off as if it was nothing but they were her supposed "buddies" for the day.

"Excuse me miss you aren't telling me I'm stuck with these two idiots for the day." She exclaimed with great anger.

"Idiots! How dare you. I would like you to know that I scored almost perfectly on all my exams." Claimed the slightly smaller boy.

"Yeah, it's always simple geometry that messes you up to moron." Said the slightly bigger one.

Alice turned around and started begging Elaine to please change her buddies.

"I'm sorry I really can't. All the others we asked refused. You have to put up with the brothers for the day." Said, Elaine.

"Brothers?" Questioned Alice.

"Yes, ma'am were brothers. I'm Maximus and this is my twin brother Maxius or Max. It's a pleasure to meet you." Maximus stuck out his hand toward Alice. She politely shook his hand.

Alice decided it might not be so bad. She gets her schedule and follows the boys out of the office. As soon as they exit Max ditches the two and heads off. Maximus and Alice walk down toward the stairs. Alice begins asking Maximus questions about school.

"Um excuse me I have a question. Is there a lot of girls in our class." Asked Alice.

"Yeah, there are. Max and I are the only boys you have in your class." Maximus spoke in agony.

"It must suck for you guys huh." Alice slightly mocked.

"Not really for me. Max on the other hand yeah. You see he is the school playboy. Most of the girls in our class he's either fucked or is currently trying to." Maximus spoke.

"Ah, I see. It's a hard life for you huh."

Spoke Alice. Trying to learn more about the class and school.

"Not really I pretty much sleep or just skip school I don't even need school. It's more like the school need me." Gloated Maximus.

"Why you say that?" Questioned Alice

"Oh, right you're new. I am currently the highest scoring person in the last couple major statewide test. I made perfect marks." Spoke Maximus.

"Damn how the hell do you get a perfect score?" Exclaimed Alice.

"It's a secret. Besides were here. Welcome to Room 2. The AP Honors class. We have only a few classes left anyway. So enjoy." Maximus spoke as he opens the door and walks in.

Alice walks in and everyone looks at her. She notices Max walks to a deal in the front and immediately starts talking. Maximus walks to a desk in the far back of the room with an empty seat next to him. She walks over and asks him if she can sit there.

"Sure go ahead. It would be nice to have a friend."

Alice took the seat and looked around. She notices everyone is looking at her. They all turn around when the teacher walks in and begins teaching. Alice gets out a notebook and takes notes. She notices she is missing a huge part of the current lesson. She raises her hand and waits to be called on.

"Excuse me, Sir. I'm Alice I'm a new student. What do I need to do to get caught up for our class?" She questioned.

"Yes that's right I forgot you were coming. I'll have all the things you'll need from all the teachers ready for you after school. Can you stay after for a little bit?" Asked the teacher.

"Yes, sir I can." She exclaimed.

The teacher shook his head and went on to teaching. Alice sat back and since she couldn't do anything until she had her notes. She decided to just relax until after school and she will just study then. She puts her head down on the table. She notices it's oddly quiet. She sits up and looks at Maximus and sees he had fallen asleep. She couldn't believe he wasn't kidding. She watched him for a second and laid her head down. After the last few days, she's been having she was tired and fell asleep.

Alice felt someone pushing on her shoulder. When she looked up she noticed her teacher.

"Shit I fell asleep. I'm so sorry." She began to apologize.

"It's ok. I called your grandmother and told her. She said it was fine. Plus you already have a ride home." Claimed the teacher.

"What do you mean?" She asked

"Maximus said when you woke up to meet him out front he will give you a ride home." The teacher told her.

Alice collected the material. She thanked the teacher and headed out of the classroom. She was wandering down the hall when she looked out the window and saw a pretty black mustang. She wondered who owned such a marvelous vehicle. She also wondered why Maximus would offer her a ride home after just meeting her. She cleared her mind as she walked down the stairs and headed out front. On the sidewalk sat Maximus smoking a cigarette.

"You know them will kill you. Everyone you smoke is seven thousand plus chemicals." She asked him.

"You know you sound like a mom. So you ready to leave?" Said Maximus as he put out the cigarette.

"Yes, are you?" She replied

"Yeah let's go," Maximus said as he got up he began to walk through the parking lot toward the mustang.

"Is this really your car?" Alice questioned

"Yes, I found it beat up in a junkyard so I bought it, fixed it and have been driving it ever since," Maximus replied.

He opened up the passenger door for Alice. She got inside and buckled up Maximus walked around and got in. He started up the vehicle and it sounded beautiful. Maximus pulled out of the school parking lot and began driving through town.

"I need to run home real quickly is that okay with you?" He asked

"Yeah, it's fine. Thanks for giving me a ride." She said in a grateful tone.

"It's okay I mean how would I as a person just leave you stranded there. It's despicable thinking."

The two rode in silence. Alice watched as they drove. She noticed Maximus lived in the same direction as her. He passed the road to go to her house and kept driving. They eventually came to a dirt road that seemed to go on forever. As they came upon a house Alice couldn't believe her eyes. Maximus didn't live in just a house he lived in a freaking mansion. In front of the house was a bunch of cars. All which seemed to be expensive. Maximus parked the car and got out.

"You can come in if you want. I will be inside for a bit." He told her

"Is it really ok to come in. It seems like you have a lot of expensive items." She said nervously.

"Don't worry about it come on. It's just stuff."

Alice got out of the car and followed Maximus she couldn't believe it. As they walked up on the porch Alice noticed the doors to the house were made out of a strange metal.

"Hey what kind of material is this door made of. I've never seen it before." Questioned Alice.

"It's made out of wood actually but it's coated in a kind of silver. It's very rare and very expensive but it's very strong." Maximus replied as he walked inside. Alice swiftly followed. She couldn't believe her eyes. The house was beautiful inside. She followed Maximus as he walked toward the kitchen.

"Can I get you something to drink?" He asked

"What do you have?" She asked

"I actually don't know just browse the fridge. If you're hungry feel free to eat as well. I can't take you home hungry." Maximus spoke as he walked out.

Maximus was walking down the hall. He came to a stop in front of a door that was black and red. As he enters the room he immediately smells an intruder.

"I didn't expect to be seeing you anytime soon, Phoenix what brings you here."

"Ah, Maximus you already know. The Elders sent me to remind you that no misbehavior will be tolerated, brother. It seems a bunch of cases has been filed in this town. Tourist and city citizens are missing I believe Max is feeding more than necessary." Claimed Phoenix. He spoke with a English accent.

" You tell the elders to stop dictating my life. In case most of them forgot I am older than all of you. Y'all should learn to show me the respect I deserve. I'll take care of the issue with Max." Spoke Maximus angrily.

"I agree with you brother but they are not very keen on letting you two just run wild. I was just telling you what they sent me to tell you. I have to go hot lots of work and new witches to find."

"Goodbye Phoenix till we meet again."

Maximus said as he exited the room. He heard Max's car coming up the driveway. He walks to the kitchen and sees Alice staring at the fridge. He walks over and taps her shoulder.

"Hey, we got to go come on." He said as he walked toward the door.

"Um, Maximus do you realize your fridge is completely empty. Like there's no food, matter of fact it isn't even running. I still never got a drink." Alice said as she follows him.

"Yeah sorry, my brother and I eat out unless I buy stuff and cook it as soon as I get home," Maximus said as he opened the door. Alice saw Max getting out a Porsche with a girl.

"Maximus! What the hells this. You brought the new girl home. No fucking fair I called dibs!" Yelled Max

"Maxius I advise you to shut your mouth and walk inside. I will not tolerate your childishness tonight."

Said Maximus in a stern voice.

"Maximus you watch yourself, brother. You're not much better than me don't forget." Max got cut off cause Maximus punched him in the throat causing him to drop.

"Alice! Get in the car we're leaving immediately." Said Maximus as he walked toward his car. Alice followed quickly. She couldn't believe how easily he dropped his brother. She was very nervous about the whole situation. She got into Maximus car. Maximus through the car in gear and pulled out swiftly. As the two rode in the car Alice felt the anger emitting from Maximus. She stayed quiet as the two rode. They came pulling into a small restaurant. Maximus reached in his wallet and pulled out fifty dollars.

"Let's get you something to eat before I take you home. You think $50 will be enough?" Asked Maximus

"How much do you plan on eating?" Asked Alice

"I don't know it will depend." Spoke Maximus as he got out and walked toward the restaurant entrance. Alice got out and followed. They walked inside. Alice told Maximus she will eat anything and said she was going to sit down. Alice walked over to a booth and sat down. She took out her phone and checked to see if anyone had texted. She had a text from her grandmother. It told her to make sure not to come home too late they had stuff to do around the house. Alice ignored the message and laid her head down. After a little while, she heard Maximus come to the table.

"So I didn't know what you would like so I got you a hamburger, fries, chocolate milkshake, and a coke," Maximus said as he set down Alices tray. She looked up and was surprised.

"You didn't have to buy me all this. I can't pay you back for this." Alice exclaimed.

"I don't expect you to. Whatever you don't eat I will. I'm starving." Maximus said before he started to eat his tray. Alice was shocked he bought almost everything the place had offered.

"You're going to eat all of that. What the hell?" Alice yelled.

"Yeah, I'm starving. If you want more just ask Ill get you more. Money is, not an issue for me." Gloated Maximus.

Alice was shocked. Her thoughts we're right. It seems like Maximus comes from a rich family. She began to eat. After a bit, the two finished their meals and left. Maximus was full and happy. Alice still couldn't believe what she just watched. How does this boy eat so much food? She thought to herself. Alice pointed out the way to her house. When she finally made it home it was almost seven. She thanked Maximus and ran inside. As he drove away he couldn't get why she seemed so familiar. As he came to the end of the driveway an old lady knocked on his window.

"How can I help you, Miss, " asked Maximus.

"Maximus are you telling me you have forgotten me?" Asked the old lady. Suddenly it hit Maximus.

"It had slipped my mind. Its been what fifty years. Elizabeth." Asked Maximus

"Indeed. You still look the same. As you always did. Maximus L. Silverton." Snickered Elizabeth

"Yeah, you've said that every time you've seen me since you were five."Laughed Maximus

" What brings you to my house Maximus? You obviously didn't come to see me." Asked Elizabeth

"I was dropping off a new girl at my school. She lives down the same road as you I guess." Said Maximus

"Nope, you're wrong. She lives with me. That's my granddaughter Alice. She's a nice girl isn't she Maxi." Asked Elizabeth

"Well damn. I guess I'm going through school with another one of your family. Its funny isn't it." Asked Maximus

"Why do you always go to school. You've lived all of history you should know everything."

"Its because I'm bored. I know I'm very knowledgeable but it keeps my knowledge full as well. It also allows to keep up to date. I only go once every fifty or sixty years but it allows me to stay in touch with everything. I might not go back anymore cause school is already starting to bore me know. I wonder what my next adventure will be." Stated Maximus

"Just be careful Maximus. My granddaughter is the strongest among us that's ever lived. She isn't going to bend as easily as others have." She remarked

"If you think I'm scared of a human your mistaking. Just make sure she's ready by six in the morning I want to get food before school tomorrow." Said Maximus as he pulled out heading back home. He was angry at Elizabeth how dare she warn him of a human posing a threat. He speeds through off toward home. Alice walks inside and sees her grandmother isn't there. She walks up to her room and walks inside. She pulls out the paperwork she got and began taking notes. She notices whoever wrote them writes in a weird but beautiful way. As she continues she hears the door open and she hears ber grandmother holler at her. She walks downstairs and into the kitchen.

"Hey, Granny how was your day." Asked Alice.

"It was good Alice. I'm more interested in you. That boy is a special one."

"You know Maximus?"

"Indeed. He's a very popular boy in this town. You will discover it soon. I just advise you to be careful around him and his family."

"Yes, Granny" the two girls laughed and sat down. They began to discuss their days more in-depth.

Maximus pulls up to his house and parks the car. He gets out and begins walking around. He's angry at what he heard. He looked around and saw Max's Porsche still sitting in the yard. He walks over to its hood and begins pacing. Suddenly he begins hitting the hood. Every punch he hits it with causes the roof to cave in. Constantly bashing it till the whole front part is massively damaged. He then begins to walk to the side of the car. He kicks the car and causes it to go flying down the hill.

"Maxius come fucking here right now! You fucking ignorant Vampire." Maximus began yelling and his brother opened up his room window.

"What the fuck do you want. I'm busy you bloody fucking ape."

"How many times do I tell you to stop acting out. The witches in town have a new member. The human faction is not happy with us. You literally have killed more humans lately than in the last century you know, the council is pissed at us again." Said Maximus with fury.

"I can't help it I didn't feed for almost three decades. I need to feed and the limits we are allowed to eat is constantly shrinking. It's bullshit!"

"I know brother but slow it down. Also, you're going to need another car. I broke yours again."

"Damn it, man, I just bought that one. You want to talk about me what about you. It seems you like to destroy everything in sight. It's ridiculous. " Max said.

"Come to the kitchen we need to talk we have a new dangerous witch in town," Maximus said intrigued.

The two met in the table they began to discuss what precautions to take about the new witch.
