CHAPTER
1
"Hey! Jane where are you going in such a hurry? We started for school way to early." Tess, my best friend said.
"I don't know. I just needed to walk I guess." I said.
"What’s wrong Edward getting on your nerves again?" She asked, wondering if my 17 year old brother was acting like a two year old again.
"Who else could get me so worked up?" I asked with a bitter edge to my voice.
"What he do this time?"
"Oh the usual," I said so she could hear me, and then added under my breath "Just trying to piss me off and make me have a fit. It seems so funny to him and Jessy,” (my other 17 year old brother) “to pick on a 15 year old girl."
"Your brother is cute you think he would---"
"No!" I said so fiercely and suddenly that it made her jump about a foot off of the pavement and caused her eyes to get so wide they were about the size of bowling balls.
"Geese, it was just a stray thou---,"
"What do you see in him, he's just a boy who is---?"
"A total hunk! How could you not see that?" She seemed completely baffled by the idea that I couldn't see what every other girl saw in him.
"Maybe because, oh, I don't know I live with him." I said starting to get really irritated with her. "Tess you of all the girls who have asked him out should know by now that he doesn't date."
"So," She said flinching at the memories. "'If at first you don't succeed try, try again' that’s my motto." She said proud that she could remember the saying right this time. I tried so hard not to but I couldn't help myself, I burst out laughing. She looked at me resentfully, and with a little bit of an edge in her tone she asked "What is so funny."
Struggling to keep myself under control I said, "I thought your motto was 'grill cheese is best with wheat not wry'" and I burst out laughing again.
She just stared at me and scowled, then mumbled "That’s my food motto."
"Ok," I said still giggling. Then I heard my watch chime and looked down and then looked up my eyes wide, in a high voice I said "We're going too late!"
Tess shook her head and said "This is exactly why I didn't want to go for this so called walk with you, you always make us late when you’re mad at your brother." She said sounding a little ticked off at me, as usual.
"Sorry" I said a little embarrass because I knew she was right. This will give Edward and Jessy another thing to laugh about; I don't get what those boys think is so funny about a tenth grader being late to school when she is pissed at them. "UGH! THAT’S JUST GRATE!!!!!!!! I am so going to kill them when I get home." I said so mad that I almost ran to school to go into their class and kill them with my bear hands.
"Late again I see."
"Sorry Mr. Mason I was on my way when---"
"Don't give any excuses just take your seat and I'll see you after class."
"Yes sir" gosh I hate this teacher he's so uptight he never gives me a break. I can't wait to get home when I can sweetly pummel both of my brothers to death. Just when I think that nothing could get any worse of cores, it does.
"Jane! Wait up," Tess said a little out of breath from running after me. I laughed without hummer. "Were you late today?" I asked getting madder by the minuet.
"Yes." she said her voice little guarded, "Um... why?"
"Because every time I'm late I get in trouble for it, do you?" I asked still fuming.
"No" she said understanding now and off guard.
That caught me off guard "Oh," I said dumb founded "Um... why?" I was still in shock.
"I don't know Mrs. Jackson just likes me I guess, and because she understands having to help out a friend when they're upset. She said that she had a friend whose sister was like your brother" she finished saying brother with a little too much warmth, and then adding a sigh, that didn't help my mood at all then stopped talking probably daydreaming about Edward. UGH! Even thinking his name makes me madder then heck.
I snapped my fingers to get her attention "HEY! Stay on topic here."
"What? Oh, sorry," She said a little ashamed of herself, knowing that I knew what she was thinking of.
I smiled letting her know that she was right "Well,” I said still smiling "I've got to go home and beat my brothers to death."
"Ok" Tess said giggling "Bye, see ya tomorrow."
"Yah see ya." I said walking away giggling as well. When I got home I lost all of my happy attitude, I went straight to my room when I wanted to go to Edward and Jessy’s room to wreck some stuff of theirs, but instead I ended up in my room..... crying? That was a shock even for me, let alone Edward and Jessy.
They came in looking guilty "Are you ok Jay-Jay?" (My nick name when they try to make me feel better) I let out a blood curdling scream that broke my third mirror and made them both cover their ears, then I started throwing things at them I threw one thing that was heavy and hard and heard it brake against the wall when I missed them and they both retreated to the hallway where I heard Jessy say "I told you, you shouldn’t have done that, it really made her upset, and you and I both know that it takes a lot to make Jane cry." Then there was a long pause where Edward thought about what Jessy had just said
"Yeah, you're right. I guess I should apologize."
"No! Really?" Jessy said sarcasm strongly detected in his voice. I giggled quietly despite myself. When Edward came in to apologize I threw something else at him, and he quickly retreated.
"I'm not going back in there. You better go get Heather." Edward said sounding mad because he knew Heather would chew his butt for making me cry. Heather is my older sister who is also my best friend and can make me happy even when no one else can.
"I wish I could..." Jessy stopped
"But..." Edward asked impatiently wanting oh so very badly to get the chewing part over and done with.
"She and mom went to the store to the grocery store."
"Well... is Sue here?"(My other older sister) Edward asked knowing that wouldn't work, but also sounding a bit relieved that he might not get his butt chewed.
"Yeah, but you know that, that won't work." Jess said
Yeah, but it's worth a shot." "Ok, but you’re telling her what happened. I'm going to call her though." Jess said a little smug.
"Why?" Edward asked a little perplexed.
“ ’Cause I am not going to be here when Heather gets back." Sue came in with some cookies and warm milk (my favorite snack) and asked if I was ok. I sniffed “Can I come in?” Sue asked.
"Yeah I guess." Still wanting to pummel my brothers but lost my strength to. "Hey, Sue can I ask you something?"
"You just did." She said with one small laugh.
"Sue."
"Sorry Jane. Ok what do want to ask?"
"I was wandering... if you could... still tell Heather?" I said the last three words a little faster than needed.
"Oh you bet I will, in fact I already did." She whispered the last three words, than she stopped and asked what Jess and Ed. (their nick names) did.
"I don't want to tell you." I said my cheeks turning bright red with anger and embarrassment. "That bad huh?"
"Yeah ." Then I heard Edward and Jessy snickering in the hall. I jumped out of bed with my cup of milk and Sue’s cup and went out and said
"What's so funny boys?" I asked so, so, oh so very, very mad and they stopped once they heard my voice.
"Um...um” They said in unison, I laughed with no humor what so ever. Then I threw the milk that I was hiding behind my back in their faces. I then said again without humor "Oh, now I see, ha, ha, ha." I went back to my bed leaving them both splutter and spit the milk out. Sue looked at me smiling and said with fake sadness.
"Did you leave any fun for me and Heather? Speaking of which..." She said looking at her watch "She should be coming through the door right about..."
"EDWARD, JESSY WHERE ARE YOU?!"
"Now." Sue finished after Heather bellowed the five threatening words. Sue and I both heard the two boys gulp, while we were giggling, and then we both said in unison and loud enough for only the boys to here "Oooooo, you guys are in trouble."
"Big time," I added with one more giggle.
Sue sighed, “Maybe i should try to calm her down
"Why?” I said wining, “It’s fun to watch her abuse the boys." I said sort of pouting not wanting them to get off that easy. "Yeah, I know I just wanted to at least pretend i care!” At that we both burst out laughing. When we heard Heather yelling at the boys we got deathly quiet listening to the screaming.
"...AND ONCE I LEAVE YOU JUST THINK THAT YOU CAN HARRASS JANE THAT’S NOT GOING TO FLY WITH ME."
"But we were just--” Edward started to say in a small voice but was cut off with a mocking tone.
“Just what? Just having fun, getting her back. For what, what did she do to you...?” I couldn't place the voice; I stopped listening long enough to realize that Sue was gone. That was the voice that I just heard. Then I went back to listening and heard the little squeak that was what was right now left of the hilarious jokesters. When I heard the door open I knew it was my turn to tell her what they did to me. So I took a deep breath and started to tell her what they did starting with when I got in the shower and what came out of the faucet was not water… and let’s just say it stunk really bad. When I finished telling Heather what happened she was fuming, and I actually felt sorry for Edward and Jessy, but karma always catches up with you and in this family karma catches up with you really fast so we try not to do anything that we will regret. So I try very hard not to do things that will catch up to me in a bad way, but you can’t help it sometimes. I came out of my “happy place” and heard someone or two someone’s yelp in pain and noticed that Heather was gone and an evil smile broke out on my face when I realized who the yelps belonged too. Knowing that I shouldn’t be enjoying this as much as I am I reluctantly decided to help the boys even though they deserve whatever Heather is doing to them, but they’re going to owe me big time for this so they can’t do anything to me or I’d tell Heather and let her take care of them. By the time I got there Heather had both the boys hanging by their feet from the ceiling. I hid behind the wall for a little but couldn’t take it anymore and ran and got my camera, like I said sometimes I just can’t help myself. I walked out with my camera and laughed and then Edward said, “Call her off please” he said sounding as if all hope was lost because it was up me.
“Yeah pl- pl- please call her off we’re really sorry.” Jessy said. I knew he was but I knew Edward well enough to know that he’d say he was sorry but wouldn’t mean it so I pretended to think about it. I stole a glance at Heather who was smiling viciously at me and nodded. (It was as if she knew what I was thinking) I told the boys what my terms were if I was going to let them off the hook I had a few things listed:
1. I get to take a picture of them like this and put it on the internet
2. They have to wear dresses and makeup and I get to take a picture and put that on the internet too.
3. Can’t play mean tricks on me anymore. And last but not least:
4. They have to shower in what they made shower in for one whole school day, without a real shower until the end of that school day. So they can get a taste of what it felt like to have that done to you.
They reluctantly agreed afraid of what Heather might do to them if they didn’t. So I got some of my revenge but that was just the beginning of it.

The next morning I had a very bad headache so I had my new maids, in dresses, get me an aspirin and some water. Tess my other annoyance sometimes but you gotta love them, when she came over after school to see what the heck was going on with me so I told her and she laughed when she saw Jessy, but when she saw Edward she scowled so hard I thought her face was going to permanently stay that way but when I explained why I dressed him up like that she let up and gave a little giggle.
“So…” she said still unsure of how to react to seeing her knight in shining armor in a dress “Seriously what did they do that made Heather allow you to do this to them?”
“Do you really wanna know?” I said a little unsure of whether to tell her or not in the end I ended up telling her, like usual.
“NO WAY, THEY HOOKED THE SHOWER UP TO THE GARBAGE DISPOSLE?!” she said in a voice I’ve never heard her use, it was pure discussed. “THAT’S DISCUSTING!!”
“Yeah think.” I said getting a little annoyed “I’m the one who had to bath in it for all of 5 seconds because, it took a that long for the shower to get the garbage out of the head and then of course as a normal reaction I looked up to see why the shower was not working and it got all over my face it was gross!” I squealed disgust strongly detected in my voice.
“So are you going to school tomorrow?” she asked still uneasy to see Edward like that.
“Of course I’m probably going to be better for that dumb test Mr. Mason is planning and I missed the review. UGH, it always happens to me!” I said so mad that had such a stupid, mean teacher.
“I’m sure he’ll give you an extra day to study.” Tess said sympathetically.
“Maybe” I said doubtfully. “He expects you to be ready even if you were sick the day before, if you’re not sick the day of the test he’ll expect you to take it that day. Man Tess if only I had your teacher then I wouldn’t have to worry too much about the test but it worked out like this so now I have a test to take tomorrow.” Just then my cell rang and guess who it was Jessy and Edward hiding in the Men’s room begging not asking but begging to take off the dresses just for school but I said no. This is ganna be the best day of my life to see them get so embarrassed I can’t wait till tomorrow, but then again I’m ganna have to take that test. Oh well getting an F won’t be that bad because of what the boys will have to endure, and I get to witness it ALL! When Tess left I forgot to tell her to bring the most important part of my plan and it involved pictures and the internet.
“Tess I just had to call you before school today.” I said excitement clear within my voice.
“What’s so important Jane that you had to call me now, it’s so early I could’ve slept for another twenty minutes.” She said a little anger in her tired voice.
“Bring your camera today!” I said all my excitement clear in my voice.
“Why?” She said sounding more interested.
“Just bring it.” I said almost pleading, almost. “I promise you’ll laugh until your lungs implode!”
“Well… O.K.” She said a little bit of suspicion in her voice.
“Hey, Jane.” Tess said out of breath “Sorry I’m late I missed my mom this morning.” “That’s O.K.” I said so exited for today’s event.
It took us a half hour to get to school today because the crossing guard was sick and the cars were not stopping for us. I was late again today shocker there, but there was a real shocker today.
We got a new student. He was dressed like a Goth person, but a very cute Goth at that, he wore a black T-shirt, black jeans, black leather jacket and the most gorgeous dark black hair. It wasn’t greasy like most of the guys here who have black hair; it was spiky and really hot.
The seat next to me was the only one left in the class because I was not popular at all and I wasn’t expecting to even be talked to by this really hot guy, so when my Science teacher Mr. Mattson told him to sit next to me I expected him to just like everyone else take one look at me and tense knowing that I may be the one to totally decimate there social life if they even talked to me. He didn’t though he walked toward me and then stopped except he didn’t tense he stopped and smiled. I was so shocked at this that I couldn’t do anything so I just smiled back. By the time he sat down I got my senses back and said to myself he just doesn’t know about you being the leper of the school yet, so don’t do anything stupid, don’t do anything stupid. He looked at me and I just glanced to make it look like I wasn’t that interested and was just looking at him like everyone in the school looks at a new student. I didn’t think he would talk to me and I was right, at least for the moment.
I glanced around and it looked like he was the new fling all the girls were staring and I could tell that Maria (the girl who thinks she is all that and no guy can resist her if she tried to get him) was ready to get him alone and flirt and try to get him to ask her out. I knew she was going to do that because she was applying her really red lipstick to make her lips look fuller and in her words “more kissable.”
“O.K. class,” Mr. Mattson said “… we are going to do a lab today on how plants develop without light. Your lab partner is going to be the person sitting next to you!” I could hear the excitement in his voice.
OH GOD! I thought.
“I will give you your plants and you need to find a way to get together this weekend and do the lab. IF you have no way of getting together see me after class, and I will figure out what you will do for your lab then.”
“Jane, I know how you like to work alone but you will have to work with Stephen, O.K.?”
I nodded in response.

The bell finally rang and I got all my stuff and was heading to the door when a hand touched my shoulder I felt and electric current type shock zing through my body. I screamed and dropped all my stuff and turned around slowly and it was him who had touched me and I had to make a fool of myself by screaming. I bent down quickly to try to avoid looking him in the eye I stayed down and was saying sorry over and over again.
I glanced up and I could tell he was trying not to laugh, my temper flared. He bent over and tried to help me pick up my books but because of him trying not to laugh at me, my temper was still very high and I snapped.
“You’re helping me why?” I said angry giving him my most piercing glare.
He immediately lost all hummer in his eyes and he mumbled sorry.
I felt bad that I snapped “Sorry.” I said feeling kind of stupid. “I’m just not used to having people help me it’s usually the complete opposite.” I said.
“It’s O.K.” He said.
He seemed very understanding. “No it’s not O.K., I’m sorry. It’s just ugh…” I had to think about what I was going to say next. “I’m… I’m the leper of the school, O.K.? If you didn’t notice nobody talks to me if they’re doing anything to me they are trying to humiliate me and most of the time they succeed. I just wasn’t expecting anyone to touch me and your hand kind of shocked me … literally” god i sounded stupid, so when I saw a hint of shock in his eyes at least I think it was shock, it could’ve been anger too. I sighed “I’m rambling, sorry.” I said. I could feel my face getting hot so I grabbed my books and left. “Sorry I’ve got to go, I’m going to be late for class.”
“And why would that be a problem?” He asked.
I could tell he was about to laugh or giggle or whatever guys call giggling but I told him anyway kind of like how I talk to Tess.
“Because I’m always late to class I can’t be late again.” At this he laughed. “Hey would you stop.” I said pouting a little.
“Sorry. You better go if you don’t want to be late.” He said
“Yeah, I probably should.” I said reluctant but still knowing that he was right.
“Hey what’s your name again?” I asked hoping he wouldn’t think that I was sounding desperate.
He looked down I didn’t know if he didn’t want to tell me or if he was scared about what I would think about his name.
“My name is Stephen.” He said it more or less reluctant. “I can’t remember yours either, what is it?”
“Umm…, my name is Jane.” I said my embarrassment flaring because I had to think about what my name was.
“Oh.” He said “That’s a pretty name. Well you wanna come over sometime so we can…?”
I think I fainted, in fact I know I fainted because I woke up in the nurse’s office in his arms while he was waiting for the nurse to be available.
I groaned. He looked down and smiled.
“Well,” He said. “I guess I don’t have to worry about you being in a coma then!” He said with a chuckle.
“Ugh!” I said so embarrassed. I can’t believe I fainted.
He chuckled again. “So...”
“So what!” I said exasperated.
“Whoa, whoa, calm down. I was just ganna ask what made you faint, did you not eat breakfast or something?” He asked sounding kind of worried.
Come on Jane don’t say anything stupid. “Yeah I didn’t have breakfast.” I told him. “Yeah that’s it.” I mumbled. Thinking about the hot flash of pain that slammed into my body before i blacked out, or fainted or whatever.
“What?” He said.
“Huh? Oh, I said Yeah I didn’t have breakfast this morning.”
“Oh, O.K.” he said. “So are you ganna come over tomorrow? For the project I mean”
“Umm…” I felt light headed all i wanted to do was sleep. NO! You’re NOT going to faint again, breath, breath. “I’ll give you a call. If you give me your number!” I said praying to god I didn’t sound too hopeful.
“Yeah, here it is.” He handed it to me, he sounded really excited that I had taken his offer, but it was a different kind of excited.
I didn’t know why he sounded so excited though. It’s me Jane the leper of the school, I wander what he’s up to?
I came home to two brothers pelted with food and other things, probably garbage.
“OH MY GOD!” I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe. Both of them looked pissed.
Finally calming down a little, at least enough so that I could gasp in air. I asked what the hell had happened to them and they just glared at me. I smiled triumphantly and walked into my bedroom to call Tess and tell her about Stephen.
“Hello!” Tess answered her cell on the second ring, most likely expecting a call from me.
“Hey, Tess it’s…” I didn’t even finish before her chatter started.
“Yeah Jane I know it’s you I saw on my caller I.D., OH MY GOD did you see him he is so HOT!! YOU. ARE. SO. LUCKY!” She was screaming at me like she was insane and I was deaf. She was excited for me a hot guy talking to me was a big deal and she knew it.
“Tess, Tess, TESS!” I screamed at her trying to get her to stop talking she’s been talking for over an hour.
“WHAT? GEEZE!” She screamed back.
“GOOD GOD! You’ve been talking for over an hour.”
“Really?” Shock was in her voice. “OMG! I’M LATE!”
“Late for what?”
“I was supposed to meet my mom at the Mall ten minutes ago!”
I heard a click and then the line went dead, I listened to the dial tone for like three minutes before I hung it up.
“HEY, EDWARD JESSY!” I yelled to them.
“WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW YOU LITTLE NO GOOD ROTTEN---,”
I cut Edward off, “JUST GET UP HERE!”
I could hear him mumbling all the way up the stairs. I didn’t hear Jessy though.
“What do you want?” Edward growled looking like he was really tiered he had huge dark circles under his eyes and his face looked all sunken in so did Jessy’s.
“I’ve a proposition for you two,” I said with a vicious smile of my face.
“What is it?” Edward and Jessy asked interested.
“You two and I are even if---,”
“Oh here comes the if,” Edward interrupted disgusted.
“If you don’t mess with my lab partner when he comes over,” I said he really fast but they both seemed to still hear it.
“He?” They both repeated.
“Yes he! Now if you don’t mind I have to call him to schedule a time to go over to his house first.”
“Ooooo, Jay-Jay’s got herself a boyfriend,” Edward laughed viciously.
“Hey Edward watch it would you, I don’t want to wear these to school again tomorrow,” Jessy said worry on his face.
My face broke into a smile as I remembered something else, “And, Edward this is mainly for you.”
“What is it?” He asked cautiously.
My smile widened, “You have to ask someone out for me.”
His face became more tiered then it already was, “Who?” He asked not sounding excited at all.
“Tess,” I said happily “And you have to act like you want to and that you enjoy your time, get it, got it, good.” He looked taken aback. I just dismissed them by saying “Now if you excuse me I have a phone call to make,”
Chapter
4
I first planed on calling Stephen then Tess, who would be ecstatic to hear me tell her that I overheard the conversation of Edward planning to ask her out.
“Hello?” Stephen’s voice came on the other end of the line.
“Hello Stephen, umm, I wanted to ask when you wanted to get together this weekend, for the project I mean.
“Oh, umm, you can come over now if you want,” He said kind of quickly.
“Umm… I need to ask, but I’d love to!” I said my voice so much calmer then I felt inside. My stomach was full of butterflies and they were jumping up into my throat. "Just one sec," I said still flustered.
"Heather I'm going over to my science partners house."
"Ok! He or she? Be home from her house before dinner."
"It's a he and ok." I said he fast hoping she wouldn't hear it, but as usual she did.
“Parents ganna be home?”
“YUP!”
"When you come home tell me everything!" She said sounding ready to kill if needed.
"No promises." I said while I climbed out of my window. I usually save this escape route for when Edward and Jessy are planning something and I find out about it, but it's good for this too.
I put my cell back up to my ear, "Ok I'm back Stephen, and I'm on my way." I said sounding way calmer then I felt.
"Great!" He said not even trying to hide his excitement.
I could swear that I heard him say, my first insider, but it was probably my imagination.
“Stephen? Where do you live?”
“99th central 4256 boulevard lane.”
“Ok, be there soon!”
Chapter
5
Hey!" I said cheerfully, "Do you have any idea's for the science project yet?"
"No," he said not sounding like that's what he wanted to talk about at all. Becoming perky again he said, "I was hoping you would have."
"That’s ok, I’ve got loads!" I kinda squeaked I hope he hadn’t noticed, he didn't seem to have.
"Ok so let's hear them."
"Ok as long as you don't laugh at any of them."
"I make no promises," He said giving me a chuckle.
"Ugh, fine I have no choice anyway 'cause we have to do the project!" I said exasperated.
He chuckled as I knew he would when I told him my idea and stops short when I said we should do a project on blood. "Each of us pricks our finger and then explain how we found out our blood types!" I finished in a rush that was my best idea.
"Ok... but where are we going to do the pricking and storing and stiff?" He asked, he was tense and was trying but failing to hide it.
I giggled, "Are you afraid of blood!" I was still giggling.
"No!"
He was NOT afraid or just doing an awesome job at acting. I thought I saw a hint of worry in his eyes for what I don't know.
"No I'm not I-- I just want to get a good grade is all, so we have to know where to keep the stuff right?"
"Ok...?" I was starting to think something was up.
We went up to his room and his mom came to check on us periodically, I thought nothing of it just a mother being a mother until I started to notice every time she came in she gave this look, I brushed it off as a warning look but my skin still got goose bumps.
I looked at the clock and saw that I only had ten minutes to get home in time for dinner!
"AH CRAP!" I said exasperated.
"What's up?" He said swiftly moving to my side.
"I'm supposed to be home in ten minutes and my house is at least fifteen-twenty minutes from here!" I lied hoping he would offer to drive me home.
"Hey don't freak I'll give you a ride." He said smiling.
"Thanks so much, 'Kay let's go!" I was running out the door and stopped dead when I saw what kind of car he had. It was the Vintage-G Porch convertible!”
"How did you get that car!?" I said in awe and suspicion.
"Oh this peace o’ junk?" He said acting like it was a car from the dinosaur ages.
"Did you just call the care that isn't coming out until next year a piece of "junk"?""
"What this car has been out for three years in Germany, why hasn't it been here?" he asked in awe then answering his own question, because Americans have to make shit so damn expensive and make it one mile per two gallons." He said like I wasn't there or like I wasn't an American.
I brushed off the insult, "Well I really need to get home or I will be in sooo much trouble!"
"Well we don’t want that now do we? Then I can't see you for a while." he said with his cute sarcastic smile.
“Yeah, now if you excuse me we really need to get going.”
“Oh, right! Come on lets go.” He said quickly.
When I got in the car I was instantly overwhelmed by his smell. It didn’t smell like Ax or Old spice or the normal crap boys wear, it smelled of nature and comfort, a relaxing scent I leaned my head back and breathed deeply several times.
We got home quicker then I would have liked, but his goodbye was very formal until I got out of the car.
“Here let me get that for you.” He said moving quickly to the other side of the car to hold the door open for me.
“Thank you, kind sir.” I said with a curtsy.
Chuckling he said, “Ma lady, have a nice day.”
Then he hugged me I was shocked but I liked it, I sat there breathing him in and then reluctantly he let go.
“Promise me something, be careful!” He seemed very protective as he looked at my house with uncertain eyes.
“I promise,” I said, brushing off the look of hatred I know I saw flash in his eyes when he looked at my house.
“Ok then, see you tomorrow,” He said back to his normal self.
“Am I coming over again tomorrow?” I asked
“No, aren’t you going to be at school tomorrow?” He sounded worried.
I laughed, “Of course wouldn’t miss it for the world!” I waved at the car till it was out of sight.
I felt like crawling in a hole and dyeing god I was so obvious oh well even if I did scare him off it wouldn’t really hurt I’m used to it.

6
“Hey I’m home!” I said to Heather.
“Ha, I can see that and how was your study date?”
I went up to give her a hug and she breathed deeply and froze. She looked like she was ganna kill something or someone and at that moment it seemed like it was ganna be me!
“Are you ok?” I asked timidly, her look was frightening me and I’m not easily frightened. I could swear her eyes became pure black.
She looked like she was holding her breath but she said calmly, “Yes quite all right, thank you. Now go take a shower please,” She was not acting normally.
“Ok,” I said immediately.
As I was walking up the stairs I thought to myself she’s never said quite alright, where did that come from?
I just got into the shower when my phone rang. I ignored it; i had just had shampoo in my hair when it rang again. I got out of the shower to get it, annoyed now. I was assuming it was Tess, I answered and it was a guy’s voice.
“Hello?” He said
“Hello, can I help you?” I said putting on my best sales person’s voice.
“Um, who is this?” He asked.
“Um I’m sorry but that’s the wrong question, you called me,” I said, really smart mouthy.
“Ha ha, hi Jane,” oh it was Stephen.
“So… sup,” I said laughing.
“Nut tin much, ha ha!” he said laughing non-chalantly.
“OK…?” I said dragging out the word.
“OK what?”
“Well why did you call me?”
“Oh…” he sounded disappointed “would you rather i didn’t?”I laughed “No, I don’t mind you calling. Just you called at a bad time I was in the shower.”
“Oh really?” I could hear the smirk in his voice
I rolled my eyes, “You wish little boy.”
“Hmm, your point being,” he murmured dreamily. “Also I’m pretty sure I’m older and bigger then you are”
“Umm, that’s not perverted at all, and not talking about age nor height” I said playfully.
He chuckled said he just wanted to hear my voice before he went to sleep and then we hung up and went to sleep; or at least I did.
Chapter
7
I woke up to a roar of engine and a whisper through my brain that I brushed off. I bolted out of bed and to the window. Guess who was sitting on the hood of his car smiling up at me. I rolled my eyes, quickly got dressed and ran down the stairs out the door.
"Hey beautiful" he said as he gave me a hug he smelled amazing.
"Hey" I said staring into his amazing eyes.
I was wondering what was going on with this kid we meet for a couple a days and now he is like a perfect guy for me! It seems to good to be true... that usually means it is.
I ignored my instincts and got into his car,looking out the window I saw Heather, Jessie and Edward staring at the car and I swear I heard them growl and not like a father would growl for his daughter when she went out with a boyfriend, but like an animal growl when a stranger is getting to close to its territory. I also saw all of there eyes flash red blood red, I think.
