Authors Note:
I'm using Sara Canning as Aunt Sarah, let's jump right into the story, shall we.
________________________
My heart is beating a million miles a minute. I can't believe this is the guy that told me that I wasn't alone. What is his life like? Has he been through the same things as I have? All these questions pop in my head at the same time. But how does he know me, have I met him before? No, I would have remembered if I'd met someone like him before. Suddenly I realize I'm not breathing at all. I exhale the long breath I didn't know I was holding.
"I know, I know, you probably have a million questions to ask me right now. But those questions will have to wait. you have more classes to get to, let's see your class schedule." He takes my schedule at looks at it carefully for a couple seconds. Then he starts to smile, a bright and happy smile that warms my heart. "Well Naomi, it seems we have the same classes together." I gasp in shock.
"You too, I have the same classes as Courtney to. This is odd, but cool I guess." I say to Hunter. He starts to frown.
"Courtney, me and her don't always see eye to eye at times. She's bossy sometimes. Your friends with her?" he asks me. Courtney's not bossy at all, she's actually really nice. But I don't want to correct him.
"Yes, I'm friends with her, she's the only friends I have at the moment." I say, looking at the floor embarrassed that I have only one friend.
"She's not the only friend you have at the moment, you have me too." He says to me calmly. I look at him and smile widely. It's nice that he wants to be friends with me. "So Naomi, I know it's your first day and all, so you know nothing about the curriculum, so why don't I come over your house and help you a little catch up a little bit." I ponder on the question a little bit. If I brought a friend home, Aunt Sarah would be ecstatic. But if Stephen found out this 'friend' was a boy, he'll go all overprotective on me. I guess Stephen will just have to suck it up and live with it.
"Sounds like a great idea, maybe I could join you guys" I hear from a voice behind me. I quickly turn around to find Courtney with her hands on her hips. She looks really annoyed.
"Hunter." she says sternly.
"Demon..." he quickly coughs to cover up what was said and continues speaking "I mean Courtney, I guess you can join us." he says, trying to be nice. I giggle a little. Courtney puts a bright smile on her face.
"Ok, so let's all exchange numbers so you can send us the address after school." She says to us. After we all exchange numbers, we walk down the hallway to class. As I turn to look back,
I see Piper staring at me, a stare so cold it causes me to shiver, even thought it's warm in the school.
"Are you alright, your kinda shivering." Hunter asks me. I turn back around and nod quietly, ignoring pipers 'silent threat'. My mind quickly thinks about this afternoon, the fun the three of us are gonna have.
****
Throughout the day, everything runs smoothly, considering I have class with my two new friends and Piper only being in my first period. No more threats were made so far today. And some of the classes are really easy, if I was paying any attention. Me and Courtney were texting in class.
