"I knew in my head how it would all end, but how did I know you would touch my soul? Did you feel yourself turning the key? I hear the long ago words you spoke... "Don't fall in love." I promised you that I wouldn't. I kept my promise dear... For I didn't fall. I floated."

We all have soul-mates. Whether you’re a vampire, werewolf, witch, or just a human. We all have that one person we are destined to meet, by fate. I've never met mine, but I know people who have their soul mates, they seem happy. I think it would be nice to meet mine. After all I am over five hundred years old, maybe more. I should have found him by now, right.

Well I haven't, and I'm patiently waiting. The funny thing about soul mates is they pop up in your life when you least expect it, where you least expect it.

My names Emma Johnson. Not that my last name matters, my parents are long gone. I wasn't even there when they passed away, and I'm still not sure how I feel about it.

Anyways I'm hundreds of years old, oh and a vampire. I look about eighteen which can sometimes come in handy, but not much. I was turned when I was eighteen, some vampire was mad and he turned me out of anger. Soon after waking up a vampire he abandoned me. So I was left alone in this world. But after so much time I'm used to it.

I've learned to live among humans. And with manipulation of the mind, well I trick people into thinking I have parents and things like that, I have a pretty normal teen life. I can stay in a town for about ten years, I don't usually stay that long but I have. I stay until people start to notice that I do not age. I make it look like I do by putting on makeup, I fake try to hide my blemishes and wrinkles, although I have perfect skin.

"Come on me, were going to be late for homeroom if you don't hurry your butt up and stop spacing out" my friend Kimberly says in an irritated voice.

I nod "it's only homeroom" I say nonchalantly.

"I know. Buts it's the first day of our second semester, I don't want to be late" Kim say pulling me towards our homeroom.

"Ok. I can drag myself to class now Kim" I saw pulling away from her and smiling.

She nods "I'm sure you can"

I smile "race?" I say knowing she isn't going to back down.

She nods "he'll yes" we start running to class. Up the stairs and everything, being a vampire I could get to class in a matter of seconds, but I like to let Kim think she has a chance at beating me.

We get to class, I win by about four feet. Like always. She bends down holding he sides and breathing heavily " I have no idea how you run so fast." she continues huffing.

I smile “I told you I know how to keep my pace and run fast without getting tired."

She nods in understanding. "Well let's go in. The bell should ring...." she didn't continue the thought because the bell rang.

I pulled open and stepped in, "sorry were late" I say to my homeroom teacher Mrs. Castro. She a nice older lady. Maybe in her late forties, but super nice. One of my best teachers

She smiles warmly “Take your seats ladies"

I drag Kim to our seats in the back of the class.

Today in class we will be reading a book a female student suggested, Twilight. Girls begin to woo, while guys begin to grunt. I smile. The book is ok. The whole shiny vampire thing was not that great though. I’ve read the first book, but didn’t want to read the rest. I guess I was too lazy.

"I know it’s not something that common, but we need to read some kind of romance story. First were going to read Twilight then were going to read Romeo and Juliet."

Now that is a book I love. The teacher continues. "So everyone come up and pick up a copy of the book. Read chapter one. We’re going to have a quiz on every chapter, to make sure you all read. Now, you may begin reading."

I stay quiet, I stare at the book. I look at every page and mesmerize it. Then I begin wondering off.

"Miss Johnson. Can you pay attention and read." I look up at Mrs. Castro and smile sweetly knowing she is just doing her job.

"I’m sorry. I already have the whole book memorized" I point to my head, "photographic memory"

Her eyes widen in confusion, "you have photographic memory?" she asked confused and shocked, "and why have you never told me or anyone.

I gulp. Oh shit, I shouldn’t have said anything. This could be cheating, maybe. "I’m s-sorry. I don’t usually t-tell people" I say stuttering. Not really scared.

"Oh no honey, this is a gift you must be proud of." she says. "Have you read Romeo and Juliet?"

I nod, "What are your favorite quotes?" she asks eagerly.

I tap my finer onto my lip, thinking. "Oh I know. ‘For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.' ” I sigh dramatically.

She claps, "oh yay. Any other"

I smile, she gets excited easily. "My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me that I must love a loathed enemy,' "

She smiled again, "lovely. Then I guess my homework will be easy, but last semester you passed with flying colors. So I guess it was never hard."

I giggle, "I don’t mind. I like this class. Rereading something isn’t a bad thing."

Then I look down at my book again, spacing off.

After class I begin walking to my second period with Kim. We enter to our teacher Mr. Johns looking super happy. I smile up at him, "good morning Sir" then I walk to my seat.

He clears his throat, "good morning class, I have great new." he says eagerly. "I have decided to quit. Well I’m retiring. So starting tomorrow you guys will have a new teacher".

I frown. Mr. Johns is my composition teacher. It’s another English class, it teaches us how to write 'properly', how can someone replace him in the middle of the year? What if things get confusing? Wait a minute, I already know all this, why do I care. I shrug and look up at my teacher again.

"We’re not going to do anything, you can relax for today" he says walking over to his desk and packing his things in a box. I smile happily for him, I’m sure he's excited to retire and do something fun. Or at least no longer wake up early for school.

Lucky.
