Love At First Bite

New School- Chapter 1

     It's the firts day of school at Oakwood Middle School. My mom drives.

"Honey, I know that this has been hard for you. I just want you to be happy today, new school new life."

As we pulled into the school's drive my mom kisses my head.

"I will Mom."

I stepped out of the car and I heard  the car drive off. I was on my own.

The shcool was small and dark the whole town was that way, like god didnt want any sunlight here.

     As I walked into class this girl stares at me. She had strait, blonde hair, and blue eyes. This girl was very pale, like a ghost almost. I sit beside her, and she looks away.

     Whats her deal. I think to myself.

After class I am rammed by this huge kid, his name, Andy Kilerd, or as everyone else calls him, King Kid. KK is tall, fat, and the biggest problem ever. He has spiked, brown hair, and a bad temper.

      "Watch it craphead"

      "Sorry I'm new, uh, do...you...uh" I stuttered as I looked at his full size.

       "What's a matter can't ya talk"

  I stood there frozen, he held up his fist.

   Oh shit, I'm dead, I'm so flipping dead.

Then that girl stepped in between us.

   What the hell is she doing

   "Andy Kilerd you leave this boy alone."

Then there was silence,  nothing dared to take a breath

King Kid growled angrily and stormed of, and that's ..... when I met Gwen Liken. After the King Kid indecent, Gwen ran off. I just stood there stupefied at what just happened. She just saved my life.

The next day I mustered up enough courage to talk to her. I sat next to her outside, as I ate my lunch I spoke.

"Hi, my name is Jason, what's yours?"

She replied almost in a whisper

    "Gwen...Gwen Liken"

    "Gwen, I like that name."

She smiled and I looked into her eyes, and it stayed that way.

    "Oh, um, thanks for saving me back there."

     "Your welcome"she said more conveniently. Then I saw the first bit of sunlight that was freed from its cell of clouds. As I stared at it I heard a noise. I look at Gwen, who is bent over, and throwing up.

      Of course Gwen had to leave, and I kinda missed her. The next couple of days she wasn't at school, duh. When she did return I sat with her again, and we talked, and I even made her giggle, I made her giggle!  She missed some more days of school. When she got back,  I asked her where she was. "Ummm, funeral. " " My uncle's"

"Sorry for your loss" I said with remorse.  "Its ok, he was old anyway"

  As I looked at he face, ourr eyes wouldn't meet, she's hiding something, and I will find out what it is.
