Chapter 1

First things first! (This is an Author's note by the way ;) ) I would like to tell all of you who will see this (hopefully) in the future! This is a book based off of a role play with one of my friends and I, so there will probably be some errors, but hopefully all of you will enjoy it!

I am also going to try and get this book to at LEAST 30 or more chapters.

Anywho, carry on with the book, lovelies! (Also, I'm possibly going to put songs up at the top or the side of each chapter, just to add some more emotion into it, y'know? Anyway, enjoy!)

A girl came walking up to Damien. He glanced up at her, but shrugged it off thinking she was talking to a friend instead of him. So he put back in his earbuds.

"Hey!" Yelled the girl.

Damien glanced up to find the same person he looked at just moments ago, standing in front of him with her hip jutted out, and her hands on her sides.

"Hey, I'm talking to you," she exclaimed. Damien took out his earbuds, pausing his current song "Everybody Gets High" by MISSIO.

"What is it?" He asked, utterly confused on why someone would talk to him.

"I'm saying hi," she simply stated, as if it was nothing. "Anyway, I'm new here, and I need some help to find my classes... so maybe you can help me...?"

For a moment, she looked... shy. So, Damien obliged to her request. He stood up from his spot on the bench, and dusted off his pants. His grip tightened around his backpack's straps that were sitting on his shoulders.

"I'm Emma by the way... and sorry for the little outburst a few seconds ago, I was just trying to get your attention..." Emma apologized, seeming even more nervous.

"It's alright... I'm Damien, it's nice to meet you," he replied, smiling sweetly at her. "And, it's alright to be nervous, i mean, hey, I was nervous when I first came her," Damien chuckled lightly at his own words.

"Heh... and that's a nice name, Damien, I like it," Emma smiled back, happily.

"Thanks, you have a nice name as well," he said.

"Eh, I guess so," Emma chuckles softly, before replying with something else, "hey, I wanna show you something..."

"Like...?" Damien tilts his head to the side a bit, curious about where this place could be.

Suddenly, out of no where, Emma grabbed Damien's hand and started bolting away from the school's grounds with him. "Look!" She exclaimed.

"Huh?" Was all Damien could muster up.

Emma pointed at a garbage mound, and behind it was... a dead body?

"Huh," Damien said once again.

"I-It scares me... I...I just don't like it..." Emma spoke up, her voice shaking as the words fell out of her mouth.

Damien just stared at it, as if examining it. Soon enough, though, he crouched down next to the rotting thing, stuck out his index finger and poked the side of the body. "Welp," said Damien.

"Who is it?" she asked, staring at Damien with shock and fear painted all along her facial features.

"Well, they've been dead for a while now, I can tell you that much," he simply shrugged as if it was nothing, standing up once more. "WHO IS IT?" Emma practically screamed, but it was more in a hushed tone. Either way, she almost screamed. She jumped up, and hid.
