Night Creatures

Chapter 6

Alexandra's P.O.V.

"Did you hear about the new student?"

"No, I haven't heard I just got here."

"Oh. Well from what I've heard he is super hot!" Gabrielle tells me, saying the word "hot" longer than normal and making an 'ok' symbol with her hands.

I start laughing so hard, that I start snorting. Then all of the sudden she stops laughing with me and has an expression on her face like she has just seen a ghost. I turn around and see.....a guy. He is very good looking too, he has brown hair that is swept to the side and chocolate brown eyes. He is tall, but not to tall and is somewhat muscular. Overall he is very attractive, but more of a cute attractiveness.

"Hi! I'm Aaron." He says to me while waving and flashing his pearly white smile.

"Hey Aaron, I'm Alexandra!" I reply smiling a genuine smile at him.

"The principal asked you to give me a tour of the school."

"Really?" I find it very odd how the principle would choose me considering he usually chooses smart people. I mean I am smart, just not the goody-goody A+ girl.

"Yeah he totally did!" Aaron said happily.

"Okay." I said with a hint of questioning in my tone.

"You should show me around right now, come on." Aaron said as he grabbed my hand pulling me away from my friends. I gave Gabrielle one last wave while she smirked at me and shook her head. I rolled my eyes at her reaction as Aaron basically dragged me along with him.

****

After a long and boring tour and a lot of jokes and questions from Aaron's part, I had to go to my class.

"Well, I have to go." I said as the bell rang meaning it was time to get to class. I started to walk away when Aaron grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him. His hand feels very warm but is also very dry and coarse.

"Promise me we will meet again." Aaron whispered in my ear, stealing a line from a cliche romance movie.

"Sure." I replied in a shaky tone because of our close proximity. I slowly felt him lean down to kiss me and I started to panic. I didn't really know Aaron that well and I don't really feel comfortable with him trying to kiss me. While in a panic I purposely stepped on his foot very hard, this caused him to stumble back which was cue for me to run.

The good thing about being in school is that I can blend in with the crowd of students. My classmates have now become my personal camouflage from Aaron, and for that I am grateful.

I don't look back, for the fear of locking eyes with Aaron, as I make my way to my first period. I let out a sigh of relief as a slide into my desk in the back of the class and slip of my backpack. I feel a tap on my shoulder and slowly turn my head to the side to see who it is. A small feeling in the pit of my stomach starts to form hoping that it's not Aaron. To my relief it's only Gabrielle staring at me with her signature smirk as she wiggles her eyebrows.

"So." She says stretching out the 'so',"how was the tour?"

"It was okay at first," I reply pausing for a second for emphasis,"but then at the end of the tour it got weird."

"Weird? How so?"

"Well as I tried to walk away he grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his chest. The worst part was he tried to KISS ME!" I said. I realized I said it a little to loud because the whole class and the teacher stopped what they were doing and looked at me.

"Mrs. Uptown." The teacher said,"is there something you would like to share with the class?"

Most people would normally say 'no ma'am' and just feel very embarrassed, but me being a drama student I was used to the embarrassment. I wasn't going to be embarrassed by this, I mean what do I have to loose.

I stood up from my chair and said,"well ma'am, if you really wanna know I'll tell you." The teacher and everyone else stayed silent and kept staring at me waiting for me to tell them what was going on in my personal life. "Well you see today I was asked by a new student to give him a tour and it was all okay till the end of the tour when he acted as if we were dating and tried to kiss me."

The whole class went silent, I guess they weren't expecting me to actually tell them.

"Okay students, lets get back to the lesson." Said the teacher as she pointed to a specific location on the map.

The rest of class was a blur to me. With all these thoughts running through my head, it was hard to concentrate on my actual school work. Before I knew it, the bell had rung and everyone started to leave. We were all on a mission to get to our next class, well except for the people who thought they were 'to good' for school.

"Wham!"

As i had been drifting off into my own little world, I didn't even realize Aaron was walking to me. So inevitably my face ran right into his hard chest.

"Oh my gosh!" Aaron said gasping. "Alexandra are you okay?"

"No." I said gripping my forehead in pain. I could already feel a bruise starting to form.

"I'm so so so sorry." Aaron said really fast,"I just came to see you and I didn't realize you weren't paying attention to me and so I stopped but you kept going in before I could stop you ran into my hard chest and I'm so so so sorry." Aaron kept rambling to me.

I put my hand up signaling for him to be quiet,"I don't feel so well." I said as my vision started to get blotchy. I slowly closed my eyes as I heard Aaron mumble "Cameron is going to kill me" right before everything went black.

============

Bam! Chapter six is done.

All I've gotta ask is "do you see this kinda stuff in your average werewolf story?"

I'm trying to make it the least amount of cliche as possible.

This is now 1078 words long.
