Blood in my veins (Damon x Reader)

Chapter 1

I was walking to school when I heard a car right behind me. I was on the sidewalk, how was it right there? I whipped my head around and saw a shiny, new red ferrari screeching down the sidewalk only inches away from me. So, using common knowledge, I ran as fast as I could! When I rounded the corner the car gave up on what seemed like a mission to kill me, and a man that looked my age jumped out of the car and leaned on it like it was a normal car with his arms crossed.

¨Forgive my driving, I suck at it¨ he repeated as if it was no big deal that I could of just died!

¨ Um, okay. Do you even have a license?¨ I asked him in the same tone. I swear I was not trying to flirt, I just didn't want to sound like I was panicked. Even though I was.

¨Do you know where Clark's Public High School is by any chance?¨ he snapped quickly after I responded to him. I studied his outfit before I answered, he was wearing a white top with a leather jacket and jeans. But perhaps the most intimidating was his sunglasses. Their dark lenses were like the night sky, just black with a small twinkle. I swear those were his eyes twinkling!

¨Oh yeah, I am actually heading there myself¨ I finally responded.

¨Great, you need a ride?¨ he dared.

¨Sure!¨ I responded. Oh my gosh I am so stupid! Yeah, I should totally just get in some random guy's car who tried to kill me five minutes ago. I am crazy! We didn't talk the whole car ride. He watched the road and I watched him, I am so weird. He was driving much better now, weird. Finally we got to school and he got out. Right as I was about to open my door, he came up to it and grasped the handle. He pulled the door wide open.

¨M'lady¨

¨Thanks¨

¨Anytime, by the way what is your name M'lady¨

¨Y/N, what is yours?¨ I said shyly.

¨Benjamin¨

The bell rang and I flinch at the loud sound.

¨Were gonna be late!¨I barked.

¨Yeah, bye Y/N¨

¨Bye Benjamin¨

¨Call me ben¨

I scurried into the school and sprinted to class without dropping off my coat in my locker. When I walked in the class thirty-nine pairs of eyes stared into my soul. How humiliating! Mrs. Smith looked me straight in the eyes and accused

¨You're late Miss Y/L/N!¨

Really? You had to use my last name. She is so mean! Then I looked at my desk in the back of the room. I usually was the only one back there, but right next to my seat was the guy who literally almost killed me on my way here.

¨Ben!¨ I whisper-shouted.

¨Hi Y/N, I didn't know we were in the same class¨

¨Me either, hey pull out your schedule. I can tell you what classes we have the same¨ he obeyed me of course.

¨Here!¨ he handed the paper to me.

¨No way! We have the exact same classes at the same times!¨ Is that even possible?

¨Then I will see you at gym¨ he winked.

¨Yeah!¨

No! I am so bad at gym. People don't even bother throwing a dodgeball at me because I somehow find a way to get myself out! All I could do now was listen to Mrs. Smith and think about gym.

¨Class, today we are playing baseball!¨ Coach Winfrey announced. No, not baseball, not today! I'm gonna die right in front of a really cute guy. Did I just say cute? Oh my gosh, I have a crush on the new guy! Whoh!?

¨Let's get into teams! How about girls versus boys?¨

A ripple of cheers spread across the gym. Great, just great!

¨Alright, Y/N you go first. Hannah on deck!¨ Valory, our team captain screeched.

¨Okay¨ I felt so small. When I stepped up to the plate, the pitcher was Cooper. Is today my unlucky day or what?

¨Ready?¨ Cooper asked. He was popular and strong, but he was nice too. Not a snooty popular kid.

¨As I'll ever be!¨

With that, a ball came flying at me face. I swung the bat and obviously missed because I slammed against the blue gym mat and for some reason the room turned purple. I guess I closed my eyes because I felt a bunch of hands and hot breath on me. But then I heard a thundering shout I would never forget.

¨Move away from her!¨

It was Ben! I couldn't open my one eye so I kept them both closed. I felt him rush to me and support my head with his hands. Then I blanked out, that is the last thing I remembered.

I woke up on a cot in the nurse's office. I could open my eyes now so I did. There was an ice pack waiting on a table by the cot, I'm guessing it is for my eye. Crap! I have a black eye! No one looks cute with a black eye! This is just great. I got up and went to my gym locker, I was still in my gym clothes. When I changed in the bathroom, I saw Sara's makeup bag and I could not resist. I stepped in front of the large mirror and reached my hand in the bag. Yes! I found her compact! I usually wore very little makeup but my eye was, just gross. So I covered my eye! It felt heavy when I was done but I looked, normal. I walked out of the bathroom and ran right into Benjamin, oops, Ben.

¨Oh, Hi Ben!¨

¨Hi, by the way, I like your makeup¨

¨How do you know it is on? Is it noticeable!?

¨No. I just carried you to the nurse's office and I know you had a black eye¨

¨Oh¨

¨Well we should go to lunch!"

¨Already! How long was I out?¨

¨Just for Language arts¨

¨After lunch, we have science Ben!¨

¨Why are you so excited?¨

¨Well we are figuring out blood types and... well... I was adopted so this is big!¨

¨Did you say blood?¨

¨Yeah, why?¨

¨Oh, nothing¨

¨Okay?¨

¨Let's go¨
