I know Nothing ( Book One of the Secret Series

The Young Man

Chapter 3

Walking into the school all I could think about was him. The man mother was talking about. What was his name? I knew it started with a D. But I can not remember...

The hallway entrance door smelt of new paint. You know how somethings have branded smells? Well that is how I think of a school. Or a hospital. It just has that smell where if you had a blindfold on you would be able to know where your at.

Ring! Ring! Ring! That was the first bell.

I need to hurry and find this class, Elena thought to herself. As all the kids started craming into their classroom doors I was the 9th grade loser still trying to find my class. This would be the start to a very long day.

As I turned the corner Elena saw a very tall young man walking out of the front office. Besides her he was the only one left in the hallway. As he came out of the hallway she could make out his features more clearly now. He was tall,slim and muscular. He had short dark brown hair that came up to a bit of a spike at the front. His eyes were light blue and did'nt look like they were supposed to be where your eyes belong. Elena could see him looking at her and as he pulled his head away she heard a crash.

Pencils,pens, and notebooks... came flying out of her backpack and Elena abrutly bent down to pick them up. As she did the young man coming from the office, was by her side helping her. "Oh, you do not have to help. I can do it. Really it is no big deal.You will be late to class." Elena said to the young man. " Na, we still have three more minutes. I think we can get this picked up by then." As he said this he picked up all her things including her schulede. At firt Elena was surprised at how fast he picked up her things but went with the flow and continued with their conversation. " And by the looks of it we have first period together." Elena could feel her face getting red. Elena did'nt know why she was blushing. What attracted her to this young man? Something about him was different and Elena liked it. "Hey, hey...um... Elena...looks like we better get to class." He said. "Oh, yeah right. Thanks for the um... help." "Anytime" he said in his soft deep gentel voice.

Durning first period Elena could only think of what had happened earlier. She had talked to this handsome young man and not have even asked for his name. As Elena replayed the conversation in her head she thought of how he said, "...Elena...". But how did he know her name when simply she did'nt even know his? And why did she feel so attracted to him?And why did she feel like she knew him?

Then it came to her...

He was not a young man...

He was...
