Vampires? Yeah Right! Chapter 1
Mitchie's POV
Beep...
Beep…Beep…Beep
BEEP! BEEP! BEE-CRASH!
Ugh, I hate mornings…I think I just broke my alarm…
"MITCHIE GET UP OR YOU'LL BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!"
Ugh "FIVE MORE MINUTES MOM!"
"DON'T MAKE ME GO IN THERE WITH THE WATER BUCKET!"
Oh, crap! "OK, OK I'M UP!"
I shoot out of bed as soon as she says that. You might think I'm overreacting, I would think that too if I hadn't already experienced the shock of waking up to cold water being splashed on my face…twice.After calming down a bit I check the time and find out that I am in fact late for school. I run around my room getting ready and at the same time putting all my school stuff in my backpack. After putting the last of my books away I practically fly out the door. I run down the stairs and see my mom looking for something in the kitchen.
"See you later mom," Almost at the door- she stops me.
"Mitchie, are you going to be ok?"
"Yeah mom, I'll be fine," she gives me a little smile and kisses my forehead.
"Be careful, ok?"
"I will mom, don't worry," I give her a forced smile and run out the door. I hate lying to her. You see, for the past month I've been getting picked on by this girl named Miley at my school. I have absolutely no idea what I did to make her hate me so much. And of course mom being mom picked up on my distress by the second week. She offered to take me out of school and have me home schooled but I didn't want her to spend extra money on me so I assured her that I was perfectly capable of handling Miley. She seemed reluctant but eventually caved and let me return to school. Ever since she found out she has asked me to be careful in the mornings when I leave for school. I always tell her I will be (even though I have no idea what Miley has planned for me that day).
I run across the yard, hop into my car and drive as fast as I can to school.
After 10 minutes of driving like a maniac I finally arrive. I check my phone and to my immense relief I still have three minutes left before the bell rings. I quickly walk inside the building and start heading towards my locker while trying to avoid knocking into people. I arrive at my locker after only two minutes and start shoving my stuff into it and getting my books out for my first class when I hear someone call my name:
"Mitchie!" Crap! It's Miley! I violently grab the rest of my stuff and slam the door close trying to get out of there before she can reach me.
"Well, well aren't we in a hurry today," Shit, too late!
"Ugh, What do you want Miley?" I turn around and face her. She's wearing that stupid smirk of hers.
"Aww, is little Mitchie having a bad day?" She asks in an overly sweet voice that doesn't suit her at all.
"Can we postpone our pointless banter; I'm kind of running late today," I say while quickly checking for a possible escape route.
Her smirk disappears immediately and I get the feeling I'm going to be late for class, again.
"Too bad Mitch, It's not an option," I hear the bell ring and the halls quickly become eerily quiet from the lack of students. Shit I'm screwed! Miley looks around to make sure everyone's gone, I take the opportunity and quickly start running down the hall towards the exit while she's distracted. I can hear her hurried footsteps right behind me trying to catch up.
"There's no use running Mitchie, I always catch you!" She screams. It was true, in the end she always ends up catching up to me no matter how fast I'm running. It's become sort of a routine over the past month. We have our banter, the bell rings, I try to make my escape, she catches up to me, and I end up having to wait for the janitor to come take me out of wherever she decides to lock me up. Except today something tells me it's going to be different… hopefully.
I run as fast as I can, trying to get back to my car, hoping that this time she doesn't catch me. I hear Miley getting closer and I start to panic. I take a sharp left turn and immediately knock into something hard. I'm expecting to crash onto the floor but before I can I feel a pair of arms catch me. I slowly open my eyes and as soon as I do I feel all of the air in my lungs rush out in a gasp. Holding me up in her arms is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. She has the most amazing brown eyes that are sparkling with concern while she looks down at me. My head starts spinning from the lack of air and the blow to my face. I suddenly realize I'm staring and quickly take a deep breath and a step back from her.
"S-sorry," When did I start stuttering?
"It's ok," She says smiling. I feel my heart skip a beat. I blush and look down. That's when my brain decides to function again and I remember the reason I knocked into her. I hear footsteps come to a stop behind me and I freeze, not really sure what to do.
"Alex, what're you doing here?" I hear Miley say. I'm confused for a moment before I realize she's talking to the goddess in front of me. Alex, that's such a pretty name. Alex looks a little freaked out and I become even more confused.
"Hi Miley, I wasn't feeling too well this morning so I decided to skip first period," Alex replies. Miley comes to stand next to me and I tense up. "What about you?" She asks Miley.
"Oh nothing, just hanging out with my friend Mitchie here," she says putting her arm around me, I tense up even more. Alex looks suspiciously at Miley. Do they know each other? And what the hell's up with Miley?
"Are you friends or something?" I find myself asking before I can stop myself.
"No,"
"We are,"
Alex and Miley say at the same time. Miley gives Alex a weird look.
"Oh come on Alex, we are friends," Miley says smiling. Alex shakes her head and looks away for a second.
"Fine, whatever…I have to go,"
"No!" don't leave me alone with Miley! I add in my head.
"W-why don't you hang out with us…you know until you feel better," I pray she says yes so that I won't end up stuffed into a locker (and I might want to get to know her). Alex looks at me with an amused look on her face and I feel Miley's grip on me tighten.
"Oh...alright then, what were you guys going to do before you ran into me?" Alex asks. I instantly feel relieved even though I know I'm going to pay for this later.
"Actually, we've got to get to class now don't we Mitchie?" Miley speaks up. Alex looks a little confused and I feel myself tense up at Miley's question. I need to think of something quick.
"No, not me, you go ahead to class Miley," I say as calmly as I can. Miley looks dumbfounded and Alex has a hint of a smirk on her face. I know Miley will have to go to class without me because she probably doesn't want Alex to find out about her bullying.
"Fine!" Miley huffs and hesitantly walks away without taking her eyes off of Alex until she's around the corner. I breathe a sigh of relief and hear a chuckle behind me. I turn back around to face her.
"You hate her as much as I do don't you?" Alex asks. I'm momentarily stunned, I thought they were friends?
"Don't look so surprised, I know Miley can be a lot to handle all at once,"
"Y-yeah," I stutter, again. Alex smiles and I blushed at my apparent inability to form words in her presence. Alex tenses a little and takes a step away from me. I frown.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah, just…um I got to go," Alex points with her thumb somewhere off behind her. I feel disappointment wash over me for some reason. Alex must've sensed this because she tries to smile again.
"If Miley keeps bothering you, just let me know ok?" she says. I nod, immediately brightening at the thought of seeing Alex again.
"Ok well…bye," Alex says awkwardly and walks away. I sigh for no reason and go out to my car; I don't really feel like dealing with a pissed off Miley for the rest of the day.
I was finally home after surviving a very spaced-out car drive where most of my thoughts featured a certain brunet… and no, they weren't about Miley. I park my car in the driveway and head into the house. I walk inside to find my mom on one of the couches reading. She gives me a knowing look and I give her an 'I don't want to talk about it' look and she nods. I walk upstairs to my room and practically jump into bed.
My entire day is spent thinking about Alex. Would I get see her again? What is she like? What did she have to do with Miley?
I go to bed earlier than usually with the strange feeling that someone is watching me.
That was the first night that Alex made her appearance known in my dreams…
A/N: I know it's a little rushed but this story has been stuck in my head for a few days now and wouldn't let me sleep. I wrote it very late at night and didn't really have time to edit it so I hope it doesn't suck too much. I just needed to post it or else I would have another sleepless night… R&R
