A Touch Of Death (on hold)

Chapter 1

"April, time for school!" Mom yelled.

Ugh. I freaking hate school. Why couldn't it be summer for the rest of eternity. All I wanted to do was lay on my soft, warm, welcoming bed.

"Get up or you'll be late, on your first day, that is inexcusable." Mom said as she barged into my room.

"Fine, fine, fine. I'm getting up. Jeez, Mom." I said as I stood up.

"Be down in 30 minutes or I'll be late for work too" she said as she walked out and closed the door non-too gently.

I stared at the mirror and grunted, I was so plain, black hair and chocolate brown eyes. I showered, brushed teeth and dressed in 25 minutes.
I chose to wear light blue jeans and a navy blue turtleneck. I was all done with 5 minutes to spare.

I rushed down and ate breakfast while Mom was watching the news. After I finished my first and most important meal of the day, we headed to Mom's black Audi.

The drive to school was silent until mom said "I heard from Charmaine's Mother that there would be a new kid at school and as always, we want both of you to show him around." Charmaine's Mom was the principal at our school so Charmaine pretty much knew a lot of stuff that were going on in school.

"And as always too, we will, Mom." I noticed we had stopped so I waved goodbye to my Mom and got out of the car.

As I was walking to the doors of school, from the corner of my eye I saw Charmaine running my way, her brown eyes staring at me from under her sweaty forehead and her long brown hair trailing behind her.

"Wait up!" She panted as she caught up with me. We both were slow runners and anti-sports 'cause what can I say,
'birds of the same feather flock together' or however that saying goes.

I let her rest until her breathing came to a steady pace. Then she said energetically as if she hadn't ran at all "Did you hear!?!?"

I thought about it for a long time before realizing she was talking about the new kid. "Yeah.. so what about it we have new students almost every year."

"So you don't know." She stated.

"Don't know what, I'm pretty sure I know more things than you." I teased.

She rolled her eyes. "IT IS A BOY!
And I heard rumors that he's hot not like stove fire hot, more like lava hot!"

It was my turn to roll my eyes. "And I should care why again?"

She stared at me like I was some mental person, which maybe I was but that's not the point.
"I have Ben but you don't have a boyfriend and now could be your chance"

I couldn't think of anything to say. But as if on cue the bell rang. "Well, gotta blast" I said as I ran into school.

Wait a minute I thought to myself Char is seated right next to me. Uuugh, she'll try to talk me into asking the new guy out on a date. I mean it'll never work but it's still annoying.

I took my designated seat and my teacher glanced at me boringly she looked around to see if anyone else was late so I scanned the classroom. I was about to ask something from Charmaine when something caught my eye I turned around and saw a pair of eyes I have never seen before they were black, like snow white's hair black. Then it hit me, how could I be so stupid, this was obviously the new guy. He was staring at his table but it was pretty obvious he had spaced out and was thinking really hard about something else. He then noticed my staring and looked up his skin was so pale it looked like he was sick, well I couldn't judge since my skin was really pale too. His hair was brown and tousled, kinda like that vampire dude in the movie, twilight. He had an evident cheekbone, light colored lips and a short nose. I was paying too much attention to his features I didn't notice he was glaring at me I felt my cheeks getting warm and faced front to see my teacher, Ms. Williams glaring at me too.

Great, now the only thing lacking is for everyone else to glare at me I thought sarcastically.

Class went by quickly, and may I say, boringly.

After class I looked at Charmaine and she nodded at me so we picked up our things and walked straight to the new guy. He was still packing his things when he glanced up.

I noticed he was wearing a black hoodie with blue pants and for some inexplicable reason, black gloves, I bet he rides a motorcycle or something. He almost fell back when he saw us. I held a back a laugh, since Charmaine shoved me in the stomach with her elbow, painfully.

"Hi! we were assigned to tour you around school, today" I said together with char in unison using our friendly-people-in-the-world voice. Of course that was fake since I wasn't the nicest person.

He just stared up and mumbled something we couldn't hear and said "I'm pretty sure I can find my own way around. And also I like to have my own space, so don't come near me and tell your..... friends that, too." Then he slung his bag over one shoulder, stood up and walked out of the classroom.

The whole day I wasn't able to think straight because of questions like: Why does he have black gloves on? What is wrong with going near him? What the hell is his problem? Why was he so cold? And lastly, Why do I even freaking care?

Going home I had to walk since my Mom had a meeting and the house was pretty near.

I passed by the dark area since it was faster that way and I was lazy, wow I sound like a character out of a horror movie using the dark part of town. I chuckled at that thought. Then I heard someone else chuckle, well the horror movie begins.

"Hello" a man said as he came out of the corner probably drunk since he was swaying side to side, and he had the upper part of a broken beer bottle in one hand.

"Go away" I ordered which was the stupidest decision ever since he might've not noticed me in the first place and was a total nut-job talking to himself.

"Why should I?" He stepped closer and pushed me against the wall and I could smell something nasty from his mouth that would've killed me before he hit me with the broken glass.

I chose not to scream since I knew he would hit me. Then I noticed something moving in the side and I saw the new kid from school. He started walking closer.
Then he stopped right behind the nut-job who hadn't noticed him at all.

He then proceeded to slowly take one of his gloves of.

In my mind I screamed 'This is no time to take your freaking gloves of, what are you gonna do slap him across the face with the glove!?!?' Well I couldn't say it out loud since Mr. nut-job here would notice.

All the new kid did was touch the crazy guys bare-arm with his gloveless hand and the crazy guy dropped on the floor. I just froze not knowing what to think.

"You're welcome."
He stated coldly. "The name's Death by the way"
