My name is Sarah. I tried to be a normal teenager, but now sitting against this cold, hard door, listening to the sounds coming closer, I start to wonder what got me into this mess, with this creature coming after me. It all began at the start of my senior year of high school.
Two months ago...
I was walking to school with my friends, and we were comparing class schedules. That day I had my first period, health, and second period, science, with my best friend Milly. Then third period, P.E, with my friend Kyle. Kyle was cute, I guess, I probably wouldn't date him, but he was still cute. Fourth period I had art with my friends Mike and Evergreen. They made a cute couple but they would never admit it. They were already arguing and it was only 7:30 in the morning. I decided to chat with Milly.
"Hey Milly, what class are you most excited about?" I asked, slowing down a little to match her pace while walking.
"I'm excited for second period", she began with a dreamy sigh, "I get to see Rogue. He's so amazing, I hope I get to sit close to him."
Rogue, of course, was her ultimate crush, the same as over half the girls at school. It would probably be the same this year. I was thinking about that when Kyle interrupted.
"Hey Sarah, what class do you feel will be your favorite? Could it possibly be third period with me?" He grinned brightly.
"No Kyle, I'm really looking forward to fourth period. I really love art and I want to get better. If there's a class that I'm not looking forward to is third period, ESPECIALLY third period with you."
He gave me a funny look, "What's that supposed to mean? Don't you like me?" He grinned again and slipped his arm around my waist.
It was my turn to give the funny look, "Why, do you like me?" I moved his arm away from my waist and held his hand. I noticed his face turn a light shade of red. I couldn't believe it, he was blushing! He noticed I was staring and looked away quickly.
"Maybe I do and maybe I don't, why would it matter to you?"
His question took me by surprise but I came up with a quick and witty answer, "Shouldn't I have the right to know who likes me? Besides..." I stopped to make him squirm even more. I even squeezed his hand softly, and his face went pure scarlet.
"B-besides what..?"
I had to hold back a laugh, "Oh, nothing." I let go of his hand and caught up to Evergreen and Mike, who were still arguing.
"Hey, what are you guys fighting about so early anyway? It's ridiculous to fight so early in the morning!"
Mike looked at me like I had gone crazy, but Evergreen beat him to the point. "Butt out Sarah, it's really none of your business."
Mike looked at her and sighed, "Ever, she's our friend and she probably just wants to help." He turned back to me and smiled, "She wants to be more than friends, but I don't understand what she means past mega best friends. She's just upset with me."
I laughed and he looked even more confused. "Why are you laughing?"
"Oh, no reason." I laughed again and went back with Milly. "Today is going to be pretty interesting, don't you think?"
"Huh?" She looked back at me, coming back from a daydream. "Oh, yeah. Today is gonna be interesting." She laughed a little and looked back up as we were walking through the main doors of school.
Once inside, I felt eyes on me. I looked around and saw a pair of cool, blue eyes burning into my own. I looked down immediately and kept on walking. It was definitely going to be an interesting first day.

Hey guys, I hope you enjoyed my first chapter! I can promise many more. Updates may be a little spazzy until I figure out a good schedule. I am hoping once a week though. Please be patient, and look forward to next chapter. P.s, this is my first time having a girl as a main character so it's a little weird.
