It was a normal day in the small town of Whitechapel. Well, the kind of "normal" that doesn't involve evil vampires, witches, werewolves or living dolls. So, I guess you could call it a peculiar day for the group of friends; Ethan, Benny, Sarah and Rory.
Ethan, Rory and Benny were walking through the halls of Whitechapel High School. "No. Seriously, guys, I almost have Erica!" Rory attempted to persuade his friends.
"Oh please..." Benny replied with a roll of his eyes.
"Really!" Rory continues.
The trio were do busy talking to each other while walking they didn't notice a girl, who was distracted reading a book, walking in the opposite direction towards them. Just before turning the corner to reach where the guys were, she sighed happily and held the book to her chest, "Only James Garrison can make two people fall in love by knocking into each other," she said to herself before continuing to read and walk.
Both the group of friends and the girl were too distracted by their own activities to even notice each other. So, in result, the second the girl turned the corner, she slammed into Rory. This caused the girl to drop her books and make her backpack slide of her shoulder.
The girl glared at Rory and growled a little. She picked up her books before shouted, "Watch where you're going, dork!" at Rory. She then Rory in the shin and stomped off.
The boys watched her go until she was out of sight, "Ow." Rory groaned, cradling his leg.
It was during math class that Benny saw the girl again. In fact, she happened to sit right in front of him. They did introduce her, because she was apparently the new girl, be he totally forgot her name. Anyway, she had long brown hair and really blue eyes. Not to mention, she was really pale. In fact, Benny found her to be quite hot.
After class, he approached her. She was wearing long, dark jeans and a white Star Trek tee shirt. She had a pair of sunglasses resting on top of her head and a pair of red converse on her feet. "Um, hey," he said to her.
She looked up at Benny, he was a few inches taller than her. "Hi," she replied slowly. After looking at him for a few moments she said, "Hey, weren't you that kid I ran into earlier?"
"Uh, no," he answered, "That was my... that was Rory."
"Oh, well, I don't like Rory very much then," she said.
It was kind of awkward for a few moments, "Yeah... So, anyway, I didn't catch your name."
She smiled at him, "I'm Alice King."
"Cool. I'm Benny," he replied. "You... wanna come to lunch with me?"
Alice scoffed, "Are you trying to make a move?"
"That depends; Is it working?"
Alice couldn't seem to wipe the smile off her pretty face, "No. But I will come to lunch with you."
Works for me, Benny thought.
The two went to the cafeteria and after getting food, headed towards the table where Ethan was already sitting. "Hey Ben- Whoa." Ethan looked at Alice. He pulled Benny down and whispered, "How did you...?" And he trailed off.
"I don't know. My devilishly handsome looks, my charming personality, my great sense of humor, my-"
"Yeah, yeah, I get it Casanova." Ethan interrupted.
The three got along quite well. And it wasn't three minutes before Erica happened to spot Alice. She walked over, "Ali?"
Alice turned around and looked at Erica, "Oh, hey Erica."
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm having lunch with Benny and Ethan..." Alice replied innocently, not seeing why Erica would have a problem with that,
"Why?"
"Well, why not?"
Erica rolled her eyes, "Whatever," she then whispered, "Just remember, they're major dorks." With that said, Erica strutted off.
Benny and Ethan looked a little offended but before they could protest, Erica had gone. As she left, Rory came and sat down while staring after her, "What a hottie." Rory said to no one in particular. Once he had sat down, he averted his attention away from Erica and noticed Alice, "Oh my God." he said, sounding half nervous, and half excited.
Alice's smile faded as Rory sat down, "Nice to see you again too," she said sarcastically with a bit of bitterness in her voice.
Ignoring her sarcasm he smiled, that ecstatically happy, smile of his, "You too, babe."
Alice looked disgusted, "Never call me that again. My name is Alice and I expect to be called that and only that," she said to him. "And what should I call you?" she then added mockingly, "babe."
Rory was obviously oblivious to her sour tone because it seemed that his smile would never disappear, "Rory. Or The Rorster, R-Dog, R-Money... or Batman!"
lice giggled, which would be the first time she smiled since Rory showed up, "Batman?" Rory nodded enthusiastically and Alice giggled again, "I think I'll stick with calling you Rory."
"Awesome. By the way, sorry for knocking into you in the hallway." Rory said to her.
Alice smiled at him," It's fine. I overreacted."
Benny looked at Alice from her head to her toes. That is when he noticed her shirt, "You like Star Trek?"
Alice looked down at her shirt and immediately looked embarrassed, "Guess there's no hiding that," she said blushing. "Yeah, I guess. I mean, it's Star Trek!"
All three of boys exchanged happy glanced, "Finally! A girl who's not totally obsessed with 'Dusk'!" Rory exclaimed.
Alice gasped happily, "I love Dusk!" she squealed.
Rory looked at her incredulously, "But, I thought-"
"What I can't like Star Trek and Dusk?" Alice snapped. Rory didn't say anything but it didn't take much to know what he was thinking. "I'm a girl!" she started, "I like hot vampire boys! It's only human of me!" she explained.
Rory's smile came back when she said 'I like hot vampire boys'. Mainly because, last time he checked, he was a vampire boy. And he was most definitely quite hot. Alice took one look at Rory's creepy smile and immediately scooted away from him a bit, "Anyway, do any of you guys know where Mr Reynolds class is. I have him next for history and I have no idea where the classroom is."
Rory piped up, "I do! He's my next class too."
"Oh joy," Alice replied sarcastically with a roll of her eyes.
The rest of lunch period went well grand. They were having an argument over how much of the Star Trek movies were really science fiction when the school bell rang. Rory stood up, "Come on, hot stuff."
Alice glared at him, "Looks like you've found a loophole." She stood up slowly and slid her backpack onto her shoulder and followed Rory out.
Love it? Hate it? Made you mama read it 'cause you loved it so much? You eyeballs exploded because of how terrible you found it to be? I won't know unless you review! I have a feeling this chapter ain't too great, but hopefully the rest will be (even) better!
