Emilys POV
I sighed rubbing my concealer over my dark circles. I got no sleep, once again. But I'm fully awake. I grabbed the last chunk of straight hair and twirled it around the curling wand. I grabbed my messager bag and ran out to my car. Which everyone was already waiting by. I have no idea why we are all starting school on the same day. Talk about a huge target. But the elders assured us that we would be protected. So, today is our first day.
" I think half of us should ditch and start tomorrow." Alec suggested.
" We'll be fine." I reassured him. Even though, I wasn't so sure myself. The thing is, I know that they are all afraid to die, but I'm not. I've never been afraid. I don't want to die. But I'm not scared. The only thing that scares me about dying is that I'd have to leave everyone I love behind.
I sighed parking my Enclave next to a suburban. " Smiles" I laughed mocking Alec's mom. They laughed behind me as I jumped out of the drivers seat. I locked my car and hung my messenger bag over my shoulder.
" Emily, I'm going to go scope out boys, I'll see you in fifth hour." Cassie said running up the main stairs. Everyone mostly had the same classes. So, we'd never be alone. We all had the same luch too, so that was good. I guess.
I walked slowly up the stairs with Tyler. I knew he was upset. I'd be too, if my dad died. I ignored the glare from a few girls. I didn't really know why they were glaring at me. They didn't even know me, but I guess I don't understand girls. I usually hang out with guys, they are less drama. Except, ofcourse for Jessica, and Cassie. They are very important to me.
But, with everyone in my circle. You'd think I would have a best friend right? Wrong.
I'm my own bestfriend. Everyone lets me down in the end. So, it's better not to get your hopes up. Which is also the reason I don't trust anyone. Talk about trust issues. I don't trust anyone. At all. No one. Not even my dad, or anyone in my circle. I know that it's bad not to trust anyone. Believe me, I know.
Life's really hard when you don't have anyone. As much as I want to, I can't. I just wish someone would see that I'm broken and try to help me. Everyone always tells me everything. I know a lot I'm not suppose to, but everyone still tells me. Everyone has such a big mouth. That's why I never say anything, to anyone.
You never know, the hunters could be anyone and anywhere. I only know a few, but it's not easy to spot them. It's their profession to blend in.
I metally slapped myself when I ran into someone. I looked up to see Jacob. Fuck me. This is just fucking great. I opened my mouth to say something. But instead, I fast-walked around the corner. I walked to my first hour ignoring the calls from Jacob.
Damn it. Damn it. UGH.
How can I not get attached to this boy who saved my life. This amazing beautiful boy. The boy who know's my secret.
I took a deep breath. Sitting next to Joey. I got a few guys that came up to me and tried to get my number. Obviously, they didn't get it.
" I don't know why your so up tight" Joey said flipping his golden hair.
" I'm not uptight" I snapped. " You know we can't get attached to anyone Joey, that's like the number one rule" I said writing my name on the assignment.
" There's no reason I can't have a little fun" he said sending major seductive looks to Marissa, a pretty red head sitting in the corner.
" Fun for who?" I asked. " What happens if she's " The one" and you die" I said blantantly
" Are you going to kill me?" he asked. " No, ofcourse not" I laughed. " See, you are a uptight goodie goodie." he laughed. " Maybe" I mummbled.
Jacobs POV
I called after Emily once again. She said nothing. She was ignoring me,and I just made a complete fool out of myself.
" Hey"
I looked down at the small hand on my chest.
" Stop calling for Emily ok? She can't talk to you"
" Who are you?" I asked in a duh tone.
" I'm Tyler"
