Chapter 1: Human, and testosterone??

BPOV

H-u-m-a-n. Man I hate that word. Now you may be asking why I hate the word human...well basically it's because I am one; a weak, slow, un-coordinated human. You may be thinking 'hey come on...we aren't that bad!' or 'Why do you think that? There are only humans and animals...and we are better than animals." Well you're wrong, with both cases. I know this because I am hopelessly in love with a vampire. His name is Dean. We met a week ago...

*flashback* "And Brie will be partnered with..." Oh my gosh, please don't be a dumb jock, or a 'know it all' geek. I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I looked behind me only to see Tim giving me the fingers crossed. I faked a smile and waved. As I turned away I shuddered. Please not Tim either...

"Dean." Mr Cram finished. Dean? I had never heard that name before in my life. I waited for someone to sit next to me like all the other partners were doing, but no one came.

"No lesson today I want you to get to know each other so there will be no chit-chat tomorrow! But you do have to read chapter 1 tonight." The chorus of 'yeah' from all the guys that got girl partners diminished into a groan. I laughed despite my annoyance; those girls were going to have a fun time.

For the next fifty minutes I sat there, playing with my hair. Waiting. I swear I could draw the door perfectly, I had watched it for that long. I finally gave up and just sat fuming at my desk. I felt another light tap on my shoulder, by now I was really pissed off. "What?!" I snapped my head around and face-to-face with two gorgeous golden eyes. I gasped, anger an all but regretted memory. The boy that stood in front of me was well...beautiful. He had golden-bronze hair and wore a tight navy coloured shirt that showed his perfectly, developed chest. But his angel face was shocked. Oh crap! I had just yelled at him!

"I am terribly sorry for this, annoyance." His voice was like velvet, melodic. "But I believe that I am you partner?" Damn it! This was Dean?

"Umm yeah, sorry. You caught me off guard. My name is Brie." I stuttered, he chuckled for a moment then glanced at Tim who was giving him death stares and took his seat next to me. I held my breath. He smelt good. How could a god like this be sitting right next to me?

"A friend of yours?" His eyes meeting mine again. My breath caught. Again.

"In his own mind..." Dean raised his eyebrow. "Long story...trust me, you don't want to hear it." I flicked my hair nervously. He sat rigidly for a moment but then relaxed again.

"I enjoy long stories." His gaze travelled to my face. I looked down, pretending to scratch something off my fingernail. "Perhaps you could tell me sometime?" My heart missed a beat. Was he serious?

"Umm sure. If you really want me to." I glanced up to see him staring at me. I looked down again.

"Good, it's a date then." He turned and started collecting up his books. "I'll pick you up around ten tomorrow?" A date?

"Sure." I managed to stammer out. His returning smile was dazzling as he left. I was absent minded throughout the whole day, while my friends, or so called 'friends' (I was popular only because I had been here since I was born and therefore was automatically popular because everyone knew me) chatted about the latest gossip and flirted with each other. As I drove home I couldn't stop thinking about Dean. I didn't even notice Jaden's truck out the front of my place, and promptly ran into the back of it.

"Crap!" I yelled as I was slammed back into my seat. I reversed back quickly and jumped out to inspect the damage. There was a dint and scratch right in the middle of the tailgate.

"Wow Brie." I jumped around to see Jaden inspecting the damaged as well. "You certainly leave a mark where ever you go don't you?" He laughed, rubbing the scratch with his right hand.

"Jaden!" I gasped. "I am so sorry!" I couldn't look him in the eye, so I just stared at the ground. I knew what the truck meant to him, he practically built it. I felt a hand softly lift my chin.

"I'd rather my truck then you any time." He smiled. I blushed. Since when did Jaden talk like this? I had known him my whole life, heck I'm pretty sure we ate bugs together when we were kids. But he had never treated me like this; I was always just a friend to him. I hadn't noticed the soft rain beginning to fall until Jaden notified me.

"Umm Brie? Maybe you should get out of the rain...you're wearing a white t-shirt." I instantly looked down at my shirt, crap! You could practically see my blue bra perfectly. I crossed my arms over my chest and looked at Jaden. I gasped.

"You've been working out huh?" The rain had made Jaden's shirt stick to his chest making his muscles stand out. And I have to admit, they were pretty impressive. Not as impressive as Dean's, but still. Jaden chuckled.

"You know Brie there is a thing called testosterone we boys have. But yeah, I have been working out. Thanks for noticing." I blushed. We weren't even talking about me and I still blushed! Damn... Jaden reached for my hand and pulled me towards the door. My shirt was practically see-through and I was cold, though on the inside I felt a warm sensation. I knew that a certain person had responsibility for that...
