-I don t own The Nine Lives of Chloe King! I wish I did though! Please review!-

Chapter 1:

I looked around, and I paused, looking at all the clothes surrounding me. You got to be kidding me! I just saw that dress yesterday! I complained to Amy as we browsed through the racks of clothes at the store I worked at, Varese Vintage.

"It's okay. How about... This? She asked, holding up dress, black on top with a rose design on the bottom half. I looked at it up and down.

"You really think I should be going on this date? I mean, I think I should like be boy free. Like, forever... Maybe it would be the best for me."

"You are going. And if you gave up on guys... You'd be a loser." She said as she took the dress, and me to the changing room. I gasped mockingly "and I hate you too!" Amy grinned and pushed me and the dress into the changing room. I quickly changed into it, pulling my big, wavy blonde hair to the side. I stared into the mirror. Well, I m Chloe if you didn t know, and this week, I died, and came back to life. I am a Mai, as Alek and Jasmine told me, I have these cat like abilities, which are cool, but a curse too. These creepy psychos are trying to kill me. Yah, and I can t be intimate with a human, even just a kiss.

"Chloe! Hurry up! Your date starts in five minutes!" Amy squealed from the other side of the curtain.

I rolled my eyes, pulling the curtain back, to face Amy and behind her, Alek. "Oh, Alek. What a surprise to see you here!" Not.. You see he's been following me and protecting me from the psychos out to kill me. And right now, the look on his face, doesn t seem happy.

"I need to talk to you, alone" He said, looking at Amy.

"Oh, okay. I'll be.. Over there!" She said, scampering away. Alek pushed me back into the changing room, closing the curtain behind us. "What the bloody hell are you thinking of doing?"

"Um, going out? I said, trying not to look at Alek.

"Yeah, you are. With Brian. Cancel the date." He replied. "Excuse me? Why? I'll make sure he doesn't kiss me."

"I told you before. One of you will get hurt. Even if you don't kiss."

Alek, please, he's the only thing worth my time right now." I stepped out of the changing room, I looked at him, "I'm sorry."
