My Dead Mate (On Hold)

P.E. Class

All the boys look at me strangely.  I just chuckle at them. Then Dylan, and the boy who annoyed me at lunch, come in.  Dylan looks over to me and smiles, then comes over with his annoying friend following.  "Well, hello Erica."

"Hey"

"This is my friend Eric."

"Yeah, he's annoying."

"How do you know that?"

"I met him at lunch."

"Yeah, but she wouldn't sit with me," he mumbles.

"What was that?" I ask with a glare.

"Nothing," he says quickly.    

"Lets start class!" Coach yells.

"Coach, what are we playing?" some boy asks.

"Flag football."  The boys cheer.

"You ready for football princess?"  Dylan asks.

"I'm no princess and I'm so ready." I reply.

"Sure."  Dylan replies chuckling.

"Kries and Tyros."  I freeze, Kries was Jacob's last name, could they be related?  No, not possible.  Dylan and Eric walk up to the front of the room.  "Kries you pick first."  Dylan picks some boy.  I look closely at Dylan.  He does look a little like Jacob.  No, stop it.  Jacob didn't have any family Larry got them.

Pretty much all the boys were picked, exceptfor a few dorky looking ones.  Dylan calls my name, much to the reluctance of his teammates. I smirk to myself.  They are in for a surprise, not even a werewolf could beat me at football.  We start to play.  I'm set up as wide receiver.  I laugh to myself. We play and I never get the ball, then the running back goes down and hurts his ankle.  No one can take his place so I offer to.  I get four touchdowns because no one can stop me. After the game I talk to a bunch of the guys and they're surprised about how much guy stuff I know.  I chuckle to myself.  After class I catch up with Dylan.

"Do you know a Jacob Kries?"  I ask him.  He instantly stiffens and his face hardens.

" No," he replies hastily.  He's lying and I know it , but I don't press it because I don't want him to get mad.

"Um, okay, I'm sorry."  His face softens and he looks sorry.

"No, it's fine, bye."  he says, walking away.  I quickly change, shower, and go to History class, where I meet a very interesting, and annoying girl, who becomes my new enemy.
