Making new friends

Jezabella POV

Yesterday was a surprisingly good day. I didn't expect Zander to stand up to his father like that for me. It felt nice hearing him say he wanted to be my friend. I'd never had a friend before and didn't know how to be a good friend. I hope he meant what he said. Well, all my friends are dead people so I don't know if that even counts. Does it? Who knows what will happen today. I hope no one starts rumors about me and Zander. I am not good with drama and never have been. I am used to being invisible to people so having someone pay attention to me is exciting and very overwhelming at the same time. I guess I can't stay in bed all day. I have to face the music sooner or later. What should I wear today? Hmmm, why not my black hoodie the one with the horns on it, my black ripped jeans, and my black combat boots. I hope it gives off the "leave me alone" vibe. Ok now that I am reading might as well head to class now.

I walk out of my dorm room which I have all to myself and head to the first period. That is when I run right into Zander as if he was waiting there for me.

"I was waiting for you," he said with a smile.

Knew it but why wait right in front of my bedroom door that is kinda creepy. But whatever don't think about that and head to class. I walk past him and ignore him. He hates being ignored so I wasn't surprised when he grabbed my hand again like yesterday. Ughhhh I don't like being touched let alone by a boy I don't even know. I try to yank my hand away but he is too strong. Darn his Zeus strength.

"What do you want?"

"Don't run away from me, please. I just want to be your friend," he said this in the sweetest tone ever.

"Please just don't touch me. I don't like being touched."

He still won't let go of my hand ugh.

Oh no here comes Jason (son of Aphrodite) school heartbreaker. He is coming this way. I can't have him see me. I don't want him to make fun of me again. I use my vanishing powers to disappear into the shadows. Zander looks around completely confused about what is going on until he notices Jason.

"Hey, Z man. Is it true that you're dating that freak." laughed Jason.

I watch as Zander whirl around lightning floating over his skin and lightning storms in his eyes. Jason almost pissed himself in fear.

"What did you just say about her." demanded Zander, "What did you call her!"

"She is a freak. You know she talks to ghosts and has....." said Jason.

Before he could finish his sentence Zander raised his hand and electrocuted him. Jason collapsed to the ground unconscious. Zander looked around frantically looking for me. I made myself visible and he grabbed me into his arms. He kept apologizing for what I had seen. I couldn't help myself but laugh. He gave me a confused look but smiled anyway.

"Is that what it takes to put a smile on your beautiful face." teased Zander.

I just rolled my eyes and kissed his cheek without thinking. Then vanished from embarrassment. His face started blushing and I swear he bit his lips. What the heck is this boy thinking about. Whatever it is I don't want to know.

"Can we just go to class before you do something else stupid?"
