Beep beep beep.

"Ugh" I said as I hit the snooze button on my alarm clock.

Today was my first day of 9th grade which I was dreading. I sat on my bed for a minute before actually starting to get ready for school. After 30 minutes of getting ready I rushed down stairs to eat a little breakfast. I was home alone since my parents were already at work. While texting Carly I poured a bowl of cereal. Instead of texting back, Carly called me.

"Hello!" said Carly in a excited scream.

"Why are you so excited?" I asked with curiosity.

"It's our first day of highschool why wouldn't I be excited!" she replied.

"Nothing is exciting about spending most of my daily life with grouchy teachers, ya know." I responded with a sarcastic tone.

"Oh whatever, I'll talk to you at school. Bye!" said Carly.

I replied "Bye Carl" and hung up because she hated it when I called her that.

I rushed out the door as soon as of heard my bus pull up. I smiled as soon as I got on the bus and I saw his face. Justin my other best was saving a seat for me. When he smiled back my heart skipped a beat.

"Hey best friend!" I exclaimed once I sat down next to Justin.

"Hey best friend!" he replied mocking me.

I laughed and asked him how was the last bit of his summer.

"Just great if you don't include the part where I think of it coming to an end." he answered.

I didn't have anything else to say so we just rode in a comfortable silence until we reached Easton High. Me and Justin looked around and saw all the judging faces. Highschool was already way different from middle school and we haven't even been inside yet!

"Nikki! Justin!" we turned around and saw the source of the yelling.

Carly walked over to us and wrapped me in a big hug.

"I've missed you so much besties!" she said while she hugged Justin.

"You've grown Carl!" I said as I examined her longer legs.

I also noticed she also had a tan. She used to be pale as paper.

"I know and that Spain sun fried me." she replied when she saw me look at her tanned skin.

"Why so quiet Justin?" Carly asked.

"Huh?" said Justin in a confused tone.

"You always are in La La Land boy." I said as I nudged him in the shoulder and he blushed with embarrassment.

"Sorry" he replied now that he was paying attention.

Me and Carly chuckled and started walking towards the office to grab our schedules.

"Yay!" me and Carly say in unison because we have Science and Math together.

We look at Justin's schedule and see that me and him have Art together and him and Carly share English.

"Shit class is about to start!" I say.

We all say are good byes as we head of to class. As I'm walking down the hallway to first period I feel my senses kick in. This started happening to me every once in awhile a few weeks ago but I haven't thought to much about it. I can now smell everything and my vision is sharp as ever. I glance down the hallway and immediately spot Room 106, my History class. I get a small headache as the voices fill my head. Every voice and conversation is loud and clear, I try to ignore it but it's hard. I almost pass by my classroom while I was thinking. As I walk in all eyes are on me even though class hasn't started yet so I'm not interrupting anything. I duck my head to avoid the stares but I can feel their eyes burning holes through me. They're whispering about me but I hear every word. Who I assume is my teacher comes up to me.

"Hi I'm Mr. Johnson and I will be your History teacher this school year." he said with a handsome smile.

I smiled back shyly. "Um hi. I'm Nikki, Nikki Simmons."

Mr. Johnson looked at a paper and replied "Your seat is the one in the 4th row, 2nd column Ms. Simmons."

"Thanks." I mumbled.

I walked to my seat and put my bookbag down beside it and took a seat. Class was almost over and I was kind of bored because it was just an introduction. As I was looking at the clock someone caught my eye. I felt like I'd seen him before. I stared a little longer trying to figure out who he is. Then he turned around and our eyes meet. I quickly averted eye contact but I could sense him still looking. Then I heard something. Do I know you from somewhere? I looked around for the source of the question but saw no one close to me talking. Then it happened again, repeating the same question. I realized that it was inside my mind. But it wasn't me talking so who was it. I thought Who are you? I waited for a response and played with my fingers. The boy who you were just staring at. I could hear the smirk in his voice. Oh. I'm Nikki and you look vaguely familiar but I don't really remember. I directed towards him. I am your leader. I was confused, what did he mean leader? Leader? What do you mean? He turned around and looked at me responding, The one who made you a fledgling of course! Then the flashback and realization hit me.

Flashback
"Wow this dress is so beautiful" I said to myself as I searched the racks in a store at the Wellington Mall. I didn't have any money so I was just window shopping. I sighed softly because these nice clothes were getting my hopes up. Bzzzzzzz. My phone vibrated in my pocket and I pulled it out of my pocket. "Hello?" I answered. "Hi darling it's time for you to come home it's getting late." It was my mom and I knew there was no trying to convince her that I could stay longer so I just said okay and hung up. My house was only 10 minutes by foot away from the mall. So since I was in no rush to get home I walked instead of taking the bus. I was 3 minutes into my walk home when the hairs on the back if my neck stood up. I zipped up my jacket more because I thought it was just chilly. Then something grabbed me and pulled me into the alley. I tried to scream but no sound came out. This pale skinned, handsome guy stared into my eyes and it made me relax but I was still kinda freaking out. He pulled me closer, opened his mouth and sunk his teeth into my neck. Then everything went black.

I came back to reality and stared at the guy. It was him! My face filled with confusion and I wondered what had actually happened in that flashback. I gasped when I put it all together and thought Am I a vampire? He responded Duh. Which startled me because I didn't think I directed that thought towards him. Why me? I was still freaking out and I needed to get out of this class. Meet me after class. I didn't say anything back, I just nodded because I knew he was watching me.
