** Katherine's POV **

Before I entered the school, I put my headphones in my ears and put on some music.

I hate talking to people in the mornings so the music is to keep school sound output.

I opened the door and walked to my locker.

The corridor was full of people moving in different directions or standing still. I had to push myself through the crowd.

I unlocked my locker, hung my coat on the side and left my bag. I took my books before I shut the locker again.

I winced when I noticed that someone was standing behind my locker door. It was Sam.

"Hey, babe." He said and hugged me afterwards. I turned off the music so I could hear what he said.

"Hello." I answer and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"How's my princess?"

I haven't heard from him since he came back from Mexico two weeks ago.

"I'm okay, how are you?"

"I feel awesome now that I get to see you again." I put my arms around his neck and took a step closer to him. He's a lot taller than me, maybe not much, but slightly. I had to tiptoe to kiss him if he did not bend down a little.

"Why haven't you answered any of my messages?" I asked after a while.

"Ah, my phone broke. I dropped it when I drove my motorcycle and the guy behind ran over it." He explained.

"Wow." I laughed. The school bell rang.

"Well, it's time to go. See you at lunch, huh?" He let me go and walked away slowly but backwards so that he can hear my answer.

"Absolutely"

Before he left completely, he walked back to me and kissed me gently on my forehead.

"Let's go, lovebirds!" I heard a familiar voice say. I looked to my right and saw Harry. He was definitely taller than me. We laugh, and then they left.

Since I was only in my first year and Sam on his last year, we had completely different classes. It's late autumn or early winter. It's November, so I haven't even gone one semester yet.

The first time I met Sam, he dropped his food all over me for lunch and I was furious, but he was really cute. He drove me home so that I could change clothes and then drove us back to school. We skipped the rest of the classes.

We had been together for 3 months, I think.

The first class I had was history.

Our teacher introduced a new girl to us. She was going to have exactly the same classes as me so the teacher asked her to sit down next to me.

"I'm Katherine, but you can call me Kate." I told her with a fake smile when she sat down.

I hate to introduce myself to new people, but I also hate to be rude to the new people.

"I'm Julia." She answered.

And then the teacher started to talk and I got carried away in my own imagination.

Two hours later, the school bell rang again and it was time for lunch. I couldn't wait to see my friends again.

***

Julia followed me to the cafeteria where we met the others.

They were sitting at a table in the left corner.

We had to walk through the whole room to get to them. I hated it, because everyone is staring.

Sam was already there.

"May we sit down?" I asked sarcastically because I knew they'll say yes, no matter what.

"Of course." Chloe answered and moved aside so Julia and I could sit down.

I sat down beside Sam, obviously, and Julia sat down between me and Chloe. On the other side of Sam, there was Elena and Harry, then Rafe and Nathan.

Chloe was always close to Nathan, because she liked him. He didn't really bother about her, but he only wanted her as a friend.

"This is Julia." I introduced Julia to the squad and everyone greeted her.

"We're like a family and you're welcome to join us if you want to." Elena pointed out. Julia smiled.

I leaned against Sam's shoulder and he put his arm around me.

Chloe helped Julia to get food and stuff and showed her how things work in here.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Sam whispered in my ear. I shook my head.

"No, I don't feel well." I answered and he sighed.

"Come on. I need some air." He said and pulled me away from the others to get outside.

There was a glass door, just behind our table where we went out.

Sam closed the door behind us.

"What's wrong?" I asked and put my arms around him.

"I have a strange feeling about this town. I mean, everyone is getting very, very sick. Like, they coughs up blood and goes insane." He explained.

"I'm sure everything will be alright in a while." I tried to calm him down.

"You know I love you, right? If you get sick like the others, I won't survive." He pulled me in for a hug, but I stopped him.

"Sam. Everything's gonna be alright, I promise you that. And if we die.. Well, everyone does eventually. I'm not going to leave you, not as long as I have control over myself." He looked sad. "Trust me."

"Okay. I'm just worried."

I kissed him gently.

"I love you." I whispered against his lips.

"I love you more." He said back and when I opened my eyes again, he grinned.

"Oh, don't start." I laughed and hit him gently on his chest. Then we went back to the others.
