Scratching the back of my neck I look around the empty hallways confused. My map of the school got soaking wet and now I have no idea where to go. I had thought I knew where my classes were but I guess not. Great now I'll have to go to the office and get another one. Unless I find some random hunk to show me where to go.

With a heavy annoyed sigh, I jog to the principals office. I needed to hurry up and get to class before it's too terribly late. But if I try to go to class after it has started everyone will stare at me. My heart races and I have trouble breathing at the thought of everyone staring at me. Instead, I think I'll just get my map and wait until my second class.

Walking into the principals office I immediately see a girl bouncing up and down where she stands. She is talking to the secretary behind the desk who looks rather annoyed by the girls actions. Her curly fake blonde hair bounces around as her small frame is practically jumping in place. Her soft light brown skin gets goosebumps as the wind from the fan above blows down directly on her. She has a knee length black flowing skirt with pink lace around the bottom and a pink T-shirt with black lace around the edges. She even has a matching bow in her hair. Her entire outfit looks like something a toddler would wear.

"Take a seat boy. I'll get to you in a minute." The woman said glancing at me clearly tired of the girl in front of her.

As I walk over to take my seat the girl turns around and runs over to me only stopping inches away from my face. Scared by her sudden movement I fall down into the chair staring at her with wide eyes.

"OMG HI!" She yelled excitedly. "My name is Emily Von Kute." She says saying her name as she imitates Dracula or something. "No joke at all that's my real name, my parents gave it to me."

Is there something wrong with this girl? Does she actually have issues? I'm going to feel really bad for asking that if it turns out she really is. Coming back from my thoughts I stare up at her as she towers over me.

"Hi?" I say sounding more like a question.

"What's your name? Are you new? I've never seen you before, so you have to be new. Do you like school so far? Wanna be friends?" She asked quickly and excitedly. With every question she moves her face closer to my own, causing me to sink further into my seat. As I stare up at her with wide eyes the secretary thankfully comes back in.

"Emily sit down and boy you can come here now." She says motioning me towards her with the flick of her wrist.

"Damian, yes, likewise, I guess and no." Rushing the words out my mouth I jump up and practically run over to the desk.

"What do you need?" She asks sounding like she has completely given up on life.

"My map and scheduled please." I say softly trying to not show how much I was panting.

"Why not? What's wrong with me? Why don't you want to be friends?" Her words come out quickly and angerly as she stomps over towards me with her arms folder across her chest.

I turn and look towards the secretary for help but she has already left the room. Now I'm panicking as the small girl gives me a death glare. My breathing quickens, my heart races, I even break out in a sweat as the girl takes one step closer. Immediately I throw my hands up over my head and crouch down on the floor fearing she was going to hit me.

Waiting for a bit I then realize the blow I'm hiding from isn't going to come. I slowly uncover my head and look up at Emily. She is staring at me with wide almost concerned eyes.

"Dude, are you okay?" She asks in a calm normal voice, not her high pitched, super fast, bubbly voice.

Before I can reply the secretary walks around her desk and hands me the papers I needed. "You two get to class." The woman then turns around and walks back into another room. Just as I look down and begin to open my papers and find my classes Emily quickly snatches them away from me.

"Hey give those back." My voice cracking as I stand up.

Emily stands there for a minute her face hidden behind the pages. Slowly she lowers them down revealing a very creepy smile. "Looks like you are going to have to be my friend now. We have all the same classes." Before I can even blink, she takes my hand and pulls me out the office. Even though she is smaller than I am she is easily stronger.

"To class we go then."
