Freak

Notes

She grabs my hand, and when she realizes I don't grab it back, she pulls my sleeve and leads me to our last class.

When we enter, I turn and sit all the way in the back. She watches me as I pull out my notebook to continue my drawing. She sighs and follows me to the back and takes the seat next to me.

"Leave me alone already, go sit with your friends."

Mr. Martinez looks up from his book and tells me to be quiet.

Elizabeth pulls out a paper from her bag, she writes something down then passes it to me.  What are we, in kindergarten?

'Your always alone, always so secretive. Why can't you just let me be your friend?'

'I like being alone, people betray you, and stab you in the back' I handed it back to her. She looks at me for a second before writing more then handing it back. The entire time I'm reading it she stares at me.

'I won't hurt you.'

We both look at one another. Her hazel eyes slowly turn green, you can see flecks of gray and blue mixed inside. A strand of red hair falls in front of her face.

For a moment I stop thinking, my arm reaches up and touches the strand. Her hair is so soft, I twirl it between my fingers before I put the strand behind her ear. She's so beautiful, so fragile. I want to protect her, never let her be hurt.

Wait a minute. What the hell? I look at her, and she's as red as a tomato. Then I realize what I just did. Wait what the fuck is going on with me? I just touched her, and thought I want to protected her? Oh hell what's wrong with me?

My entire face heats up and I turn away quickly. Why am I like this? I hate humans. Damn why the hell do demons have feelings?

Soon I hear her shift away. The rest of the period is quiet as we both do our English work.  Mr. Martinez goes on and off about his favorite series, The House Of Night by P.C.Cast and Kristen Cast. The book is apparently about vampires, Greek history, and a school they need to be at so they won't die.

The entire time I'm thinking about what I did and if she hated me now. Yet I think about her beautiful smile, eyes, and how soft her hair felt.

I don't understand what this feeling is, its so strange and new to me. The last bell rings , I quickly pack my things and leave without saying a word to her. I head quickly towards my locker to find one single post-it note on it.

'Your dead Salem'

I peel the note off and look on the back for anything else but that's all it says. I crumple the paper, and open my locker to throw my books in there.

I start heading towards the parking lot, and there's Elizabeth right in front of my black convertible. How did she know which car was mine? I walk past her  and open my door. I throw my bag in as i feel her eyes on me.

"Um, Ash?"

"What?"

I turn around and I can really see how short she is compared to me. She's like 5'4, compared to me, I'm probably a giant to her being 6'2 and all. I see a blush creep across her face. When she notices me staring, she uses her sleeve to cover her mouth, and looks down.

"C-can I have your phone n-number? S-since you won't let me be your friend can I at least have it? I-i promise not to annoy you, or text you, j-just for emergency's."

"Fine"

Her face lights up with excitement. I take our my phone and just as I'm about to start saying my number she takes my phone types something down then her phone chimes.

"Thank chu Ash! Baii"

She sort of speed walks away. I get in my car and drive home.

I pull into the driveway, and I go up to my room. I turn on my computer, and take my shirt and shoes off. I put on my rock playlist, and the first song to play is Sail  by Awolnation.

The bass plays through the entire house, I sing alone to the music as I walk down stairs. I open my phone and see a text from her.

'I'm sorry for everything about today.'

'Its fine don't worry about it. What happened happened.'

My stomach grows.

I'm hungry.
