This Bites!

New Beginnings

Artemis

Beep! Beep! Beep!

I slam my fist down on the alarm clock to shut it up. I feel it crumble under my hands and groan into the pillow. As I look up, I find that my suspicions are true. I've crushed my alarm clock to bits. Great. Now I have to get a new one. I slowly drag myself out of bed and walk into the bathroom. I look in the mirror and give myself a small pep talk.

"Okay, Artemis. You get through this day. You've gone to high school plenty of times. 1941 was a blast. You are going to get through this day without eating anyone." I say. I stop before my sister walks in and starts to think that I'm losing my mind. I quickly take a shower and get dressed in a red short sleeve shirt and a pair of black jeans. I throw on my favorite pair of black and white Supras and slip on a black leather jacket. I grab my bag say a quick goodbye to my sister and use my super speed to run to school.

--Okay, so before I go on, I should probably tell you about myself. So, I'm Artemis O'Brien. I just moved here to Beacon Hills and I am a vampire. Yes... a vampire. I am 756 years old but I'm stuck in the body if a 17 year old. Yea!Okay, now that you know this I guess I an keep going.--

I make it to the school and walk in. Seeing all of the teenagers running around everywhere, I have to fight the urge to compel one of them to let me drink from them and remind myself that I have plenty of blood bags in my backpack ready to be consumed. I find my way to the front office and get my schedule and locker info. I walk to my locker and put my stuff in before heading to my first class, but I bump into someone one the way. I didn't flinch but the other person fell to the ground. I dropped down to help them get up.

"I'm SOO sorry!! I really didn't mean to do that." I exclaim.

"It's fine. I-I'm fine. It was my fault anyway." He mumbles. I start to protest bit stop mid sentence when he looks up at me. He was gorgeous. He has perfectly styled brown hair and whiskey brown eyes.

"H-hi. I'm Artemis." I say. He smiles, getting up off the floor.

"S-Stiles. It's nice to meet you Artemis." He says, nervously, his hands twitching. The bell rings and I flinch from the sound. Trust me when I say, you do not want to have super hearing when a school bell goes off.

"Crap! I'm late! Gotta go!" I exclaim. I turn to run off but only make it a few steps away before spinning back in his direction. "You don't happen to know where Ms. Lepkowski's history class is?" I ask. He grins.

"That's where I'm headed now. Follow me. I can introduce you to some friends." He walks off and I quickly follow. Well, my first day of school in the twenty first century as a vampire hasn't started off that bad. Maybe Beacon Hills won't be so bad.
