"I love you."

"I'm not human."

"I don't care. Bite me. I'm begging you."

"Jane, why are we watching this? He's so…unrealistic. And not just because this is all fiction." Jane turns to look at after pausing the movie, eyes wide and mouth gaping.

"Clare...you, you just can't – but this is Dusk! You're hopeless." Shaking her head she looks back towards the screen.

Rolling my eyes I look over to my two best friends, the idiots were making their traditional Sunday sundae's before school starts. "What did you do? Rob an ice cream truck or something?" Ethan looks up at me shaking his head and motioning for me to join them after setting the marshmallows' down.

"Tomorrow we officially join the high school brotherhood. We are men." Benny looks over at me as I pat Jane's head then sit down in front of them and makes a face at me, "And woman. We must mark the moment."

"So the Sunday to end all Sundays?" I raise an eyebrow. They choose to ignore me as I pick up a bag and take a bucket of coffee ice cream.

"Remember grade five when you put 176 of these in your mouth?"

"Yeah, right! It was 186!" Benny rolls his eyes and takes my marshmallow bag.

"No way!" I snatch them back, "I did 186, you did 176 and Ethan, you barely hit 150." We all look at each other for a second before reaching to rip open the bag, Ethan reminding us to count as we put them in our mouths. I could barely hear Jane call us dumb before Ethan's mumbling of how we're tied cuts her off.

Benny and I start to toss a couple back and forth trying to get the other to spit some out, Ethan hold up his hands and gestures '50'. I start shaking my head with an incredulous look, "No way." I mumbled before we hear a loud scream. We all look towards were Jane is sitting, expecting it to be from the movie but we start to panic when we realize that she's not there.

"ETHAN!" I hear from outside, Ethan runs to open the door spitting out his marshmallows on the way.

"Hey…you're home early…how was date night?" Ethan asks sheepishly. Benny jumped out next to Ethan while I peeked out from behind the door. I see some of Benny's marshmallows fall out his mouth and rubbing the back of his head and looking down slowly.

"A babysitter? For you? Classic!" Benny laughs as I push my way in between them.

"I thought it was a babysitter for Jane?" Ethan ignores me and pushes me to the side.

"Shh! Keep it down! This kind of info could totally ruin a guys rep. Hopefully before this Erica chic shows up tonight to babysit I can talk my parents out of hiring her." I laugh at this.

"Ethan, what rep? It's the first day of school and no one couldn't care less about who you are." Ethan pushes me to the side again as I tried getting in between them. "Okay, you know what. Stop. Why do you keep pushing me?"

"You were supposed to be watching Jane! Now because of you, Jane and I need a babysitter!"

"You're blaming this on me? She is your sister, your mother put you in charge, and it was your responsibility. Not mine. Get over yourself Ethan, besides you were the one who called me over to eat marshmallows." I poked him in the chest before starting to walk away. I hear Benny mutter 'Not cool man' before I accidentally bump into someone.

"Whoa, hey!" feeling hands around my waist I jump and turn looking into the eyes of this really cute tall pale guy, "Gotta be careful there! I see you're a fan of vampires, I love them." I look down at my shirt; realizing I'd accidentally put on one of my art shirts. Normally I wore graphic tees to paint, this one was my Buffy the Vampire t-shirt. "Pretty quiet there, my names Jesse. What's yours lovely?"

"Clare O'Hera, nice to bump into you. But no way your attractive face has seen this show. We're like a group of dorks and you...have a nice face – oh god I should stop talking now." I put my hand over my eyes I hear him chuckle and grab my hand.

"Ah, hey! Principal Hicks, let me give you a hand." Jesse says as he pulls me with him and grabs the coffee out of the Principals hand. I look back a little stunned by how many people were following Jesse; damn this guy has got a lot of friends. I also see Benny looking upset, what did Ethan say to him now?

"Oh, thank you Jesse. Much better." Hicks fixed the picture of the missing teen. Wait, didn't this kid live next door to Ethan, Benny and I?

Jesse turned to smile at his friends and looked back towards the principal, "Anything for our fearless leader! Do you mind?" he sniffed the coffee and took a sip. "Ah, French roast. Good choice." Handing the cup back, Principal Hicks repeated what Jesse said. Jesse turned and looked at me then up towards Ethan and Benny and raised his eyebrows smiling.

I glanced back quickly and saw Benny making a face and then looking at me with a confused expression as Jesse grabbed my hand and pulled me along. I heard the principal chuckle and say, "Boys in the drama club, always making a scene."

"Um, so you're in the Drama club? That's cool, I need to get my schedule before class starts…so it was nice to meet you and hopefully I'll see you again." I tried to tug my arm away but he just held on tighter. I looked up to see him nod to the other guys and then look back at me smiling.

"I'll show you around. Show you where everything is. Listen, I want to ask you about how you really feel about vam-"

"Jesse!" a girl came running over glaring at him, "Just because I said no more doesn't give you free reign to go after other unsuspecting girls."

Jesse sighed, "Clare, this is Sarah. Sarah this is Clare, who isn't some unsuspecting girl. I was just offering to show her around. You're my ex-girlfriend; you don't need to bother yourself with me anymore, run along now. Clare and I have some business to finish." Jesse offers me his arm and I slowly take it giving them both a confused glance.

We walked in silence for a couple minutes until we reached one of the rooms and he told me has all the schedules in. I smiled at the lady handing me my paper and made sure all the classes were correct. AP Biology, IH English, H World History, H Algebra 2, H French 2, and Advanced Drama. After getting everything together I walk out to find him waiting, "You didn't have to stay if you didn't want to."

"I wanted to finish our conversation from before. How do you feel about vampires? I love them but not the Dusk vampires though…I mean the more realistic ones." Jesse put his hands on my shoulders as he walked me to my first class.

"I don't know, they're cool I guess and they have a very mysterious appealing vibe to them. They're very alluring but they're very dangerous." As I put my and on the door the bell rings signaling to everyone that if they're outside of class they're late. "I'll see you later Jesse, you're already late."

"Hang out with us later, there's something I want you to see." He leans down and his lips graze my cheek.

I must have stood there for a while because when I finally snapped out of it there was no one else in the hall except for the janitor at the other end of the hall. I took a deep breath, shook my head, and opened the door.

I was surprised when I saw Sarah in my fourth period class; it was a little awkward at first. Sitting next to the ex-girlfriend of the cute boy I might like was never on my to-do list but we ended up hitting it off really well. We both liked the same kind of music, books, and we were both into the same genres of movies. As we were walking past the cafeteria line I hear Benny and Ethan arguing.

"Those are state of the art alien DNA detector goggles!" Benny exclaimed at Ethan.

"Yeah, so?"

"High school cafeteria is an ideal place to test them out!"

"Yeah, and to brand us as dorks for the next four year! Think about Clare, she's definitely not going to be friends with us if we're marked as losers." Ethan tried to keep the goggles away from but with Benny reaching for them and grumbling about getting them back it was really difficult.

"Give me the goggles or I will hurt – wait. Why wouldn't Clare be friends with us? She's been our best friend since we were kids. She wouldn't just ditch us –"

"Hey! You guys! Hey! Over here!"

"Oh, no."

I stopped paying attention to them and looked over at Sara, "Do you want to go sit in the quad?"

"Yeah, in the shade though, it's kind of warm today." She grabs her tray and starts to walk off. Before I could call out stop, I saw her collide into Ethan and yell out the word, 'Dork'. I couldn't help but laugh at Ethan's face, I don't know when this idea of being a dork became so horrible to Ethan but he just wasn't acting like himself lately. I went over and shoved our trays into Ethan's outstretched arms and took off my Buffy t-shirt and handed it to Sara.

"Go change, I'll go get us some seats over there." Sarah smiled when I said this, looked down at my stomach and quickly pulled my tank top to cover more of my midriff (not that it mattered of course, going to the gym and playing Volleyball kept me toned).

Laughing I nudged her off and took our trays away from Ethan, smiled at Benny and started to walk away. "That was one babe-tastic tower of Babe-alon." I hear Benny say from behind me. For some reason I felt a twinge in my chest after assuming he was talking about Sarah. I mean she was very pretty, why wouldn't Benny like her.

Wait a minute; I've known Benny for years. Sure he may show interest in almost every nice looking girl he sees but that's just Benny. Plus he would never think of me as anything more that the girl next door. I'm not interesting or beautiful; I'm a nerd who likes to play videogames. We've known each other for so long he probably thinks of me as his little sister, the little sister he never wanted sure.

As I sat down I heard someone call out Sarah's name. It was her friend Erica, we'd met at the beginning of class but she had to leave early because she was setting up for some Dusk ticket sales. "What happened to your shirt? Is it new?"

"Actually, it's mine. Hi, Erica right? Nice to see you again." Holding out my right hand I started to pick at my salad with my fork with my left hand.

"Yeah, and you're Clare. Nice to – oh my gosh you guys guess what. I've already sold 200 tickets for the screening," Erica took a deep breath to calm herself but it didn't seem to work. It looked like she had gotten even more excited than before, "Only seven more days. I seriously think that if I had to wait eight more days instead of seven more days I would go crazy."

"Yeah, me too." I looked over at Sarah, she didn't look very enthusiastic about the premiere screening of Dusk.

"You skipped math today, were you with Jesse?" Looking at Erica I raised my eyebrows and coughed.

"No, remember we broke up like a week ago? No, I was just running late, my bike got a flat tire. Again. Besides I think Jesse has taken an interest in Clare." Sarah sighed and raised her eyebrows at me.

"If you want, I think I've seen you walk to school before you're on my way, we could walk together?" She nodded as I offered. Better her than Ethan and Benny everyday. Yes they are my best friends but there's only so much I can take.

"Well, anyways then…Clare I've saved two seats. You and Jesse are going to come right?" Erica looked at me with a hopeful expression.

"Uh, no Jesse's not a real big Dusk fan…" Sara had decided to answer for me.

"What?! How could either of you date someone who doesn't like Dusk? The second book changed my life."

"Erica…is it maybe a little possible you could be giving this franchise a little too much credit? I mean, come on. Vampires' that sparkle in the sun isn't exactly-"

"No, no don't even finish that sentence Clare or I won't be your friend anymore." Erica picked up one of my fries and tossed it at me.

I jumped in shock as it hit me on the face and looked at her in astonishment. I opened my mouth but didn't get a chance to speak because Benny came to sit down next to me.

"Hey there…look Ethan said some things and I obviously know they aren't true I mean, we've been friends since forever and I mean why wouldn't you want to be friends with me I'm like your best friend. We've been through so much together-"

"Benny you're rambling. Oh by the way this is Erica and that's Sarah." I said interrupting his word vomit. He gives a quick wave and then I continue, "Of course I'd never 'abandon' you…I love you." His eyes grow wide and my heart starts to beat faster, "You're like, um, my best, like you're like my brother. Brotherly friendship love. Oh dear god." I look away and then put my head in my hands shaking it back and forth.

"Wait a minute," he turned back to look at Erica, "are you by any chance babysitting for the Morgan's tonight?"

Erica looked shocked, "Yeah, why? Do you know their kids?"

"Yeah, one of them is my buddy, sitting right over…there." We all turn to look at where he was pointing. Ethan ducks his head down; he looked like he was trying to disappear. While his blonde friend, Rory, I think, decided to wave over at us. "He's a bit shy." Benny looked back over to me, "Well I guess I'll see you around? I mean unless that drama club guy decides to monopolize your time?"

"Benny? Are you…jealous?" My grin gets even bigger, "Well you're not going to have to worry because you're the only boy for me." I wink and act like I'm joking as I toss a fry at him. He smiles, gets up, and starts to walk away but before he got out of earshot I heard him say a little 'Yes' in excitement.

Does Benny feel the same way about me that I do for him?

As I'm walking out of school I see Ethan push Benny and start to clean off his face. As I'm walking up to them I hear Benny say, "Oh, bummer. Looks like she's already hooked up with Mr. Too-Cool-For-School." I look over and see Sara leaning against a tree as Jesse stands next to her; they looked like they were in a heated argument.

"They're not dating."

"Did somebody mention my name?" Rory and I say at the same time. Benny looks at me while Ethan rolls his eyes.

"H-hey Clare. How was your day? Juice?" He shoves his juice box into my face and I laugh.

"Not bad. No thanks and how was yo-" I hear Jesse call my name. I look over to see him waving me over. "Sorry, Jesse said he wanted to give me a ride. I guess I'll see you guys later? Bye Benny." I wave at them as I walk over to Jesse and smile.

"Clare…" he grabs me and tucks me under his arm. "See Sarah, it's too late to turn back now." Jesse and I had sixth period Advanced Drama together and had spent the whole period together. I don't know how it happened but at the end of class he asked if I wanted to go out on a date.

I looked up at Jesse as Sarah just shook her head, Erica ran up and grabbed hold of Sarah's arm, "Jesse, Sarah and Clare both tell me that you aren't a big fan of vampire movies?"

"I love vampires. That's exactly what I told them." Jesse smirked down at me and squeezed my shoulders.

"Yeah, well I've gotta go." Sarah shook her head and walked away waving at Erica and me.

"Alright, well…I'll see you around? Dusk forever?" Erica yelled shooting her fist in the air like at the end of The Breakfast Club movie. Jesse then motioned for me to get in the car in the passengers seat.

"Hope we all see you at the screening." One of Jesse's friends said to Erica and touching her arm. That's cute, I thought, he and Erica would make a really cute couple.

"See you tonight Erica!" I say as I open the door and get in smiling at her. She waves back and moves out of the way as Jesse starts the car. He recklessly swerves the car into Ethan. Benny, and Rory's way as his friend sticks his head out the back and yells, 'Watch it nerds' and laughs.

"Jesse what the hell?" I turn to look at him, "You could have hurt somebody! I know those guys."

"Oh come on Clare, we were just having a little fun, we didn't mean anything by it." Says the guy from the back and holding his hand out for me to shake, "I'm Gord by the way."

"Clare," I grab his hand, "And don't call them nerds. Only I can do that." Letting go Jesse chuckles and drops them off first. I then give him directions to my house but instead he takes me to a park about a couple minutes away.

"Clare, what if I told you that vampires really existed?" he grabbed my hands.

"I'd tell you that you're nuts and to take me home right now."

"Is that what you'd really say?" his grip gets a little tighter and his face gets closer to mine.

"Not really, I mean I think I'd probably freak out and contemplate my very existence on this earth. But other than that I mean, I'd never actually want to be one, I want to have kids someday and I'm pretty sure to stay that young forever the female reproductive organs would be frozen as well. You know, 'cause…everything would be frozen…why are we even talking about this? What is with all these vampire questions Jesse?"

"Clare…" his eyes shift back and forth but his ever-present smirk seems to be fading away. He lets go of me and says, "I'm sorry. I made a mistake. Let me take you home."

Confused on what just happened I dazedly give him the rest of the directions back to my house. I sit in the car for a couple minutes before getting out. I hear the window roll down so I turn to look over at him, "I'm sorry Clare, I thought we similar. But maybe it was better we find out now then later, right?" he grins before putting the car into reverse and drove away.

"…But we just met!"
