It was a normal day, or at lest as normal as they come. The sun was playing 'Peek-a-boo' from behind the heavy storm clouds that were
rolling in.
Sorry, I should probably tell you who I am and where this story takes place, or more like starts. I'm Leon, a few months from my 18th
birthday. I have dark brown, nearly black, hair and eyes, about six one, and anti-social. As most teen's appear to be these days. Oh, one little
side note, I live in Maine. So, as I was saying, I was watching the clouds with out much to do, I hate being smart...ish. It's way to boring!
Suddenly, out off nowhere, I see someone I don't recognize walking up to the school, way to late to have just sleept in. I mean come on, it was
almost lunch time. Lola, my twin sister, pokes my spine playfully and teases me, "Ooo, you are drooling over the new girl in the school!" I look
over my shoulder at her and see she's doing the same damn thing! So I poke her in the forehead, "Ya know, if you drooled anymore I'd need a
boat!" Yep, same things every day. I watch as the new girl walks into my class, boring history about the U.S. The teacher wasn't that bad so it
was kinda fun. "Morning, sorry I'm so late! I didn't know I started school today." I sit back in the chair, preventing Lola from making another
assault on my spine, and marveled at how soothing her voice was. I look around and notice I'm not the only one, but the other men look at her
like she's a new toy. Disgusting! The teacher's voice cuts through my thoughts, "There is a open seat..." He looks around, and points to the only
desk in my row that is open. "Right there! In front Leon. But don't worry, he hasn't bit anyone yet." It was meant as a joke but I could feel my
face grow warm, and her's did to. It turned a beautiful pink, like a rose, and once again the teacher's voice, or I should say Al's voice, cut my
thoughts again. "Okay class, this is Rose. Rose, that is Leon, Lola, Len, Kaito..." His voice fads out, or at lest I stop listening. Rose, a beautiful
name for a beautiful girl. Her long, wavy hair falls over her shoulders, sexy all on it's own. She shy smile, white, perfect teeth shine when the
sun comes back out. Damn it, it was like some cheesy romance movie!
Al finally lets her sit down, and gives us the rest of the class to do what we want. In this odd school, we have on teacher for the entire
day, every class. So nothing really ever changes. Rose turns around and smiles at me in a sexy, flirting kind of way, "Hey, Leon right? So, you
haven't bit anyone yet?" She lightly pats my head, like most people pat a dog's head, and Lola gasps. "Well, I think I like you for that." She
winks at me, but her face is dark red. Lola slaps the back of my head, snapping me back to reality. "Oh...? OH! Sorry, I'm a bit out of it. Yeah,
I'm Leon, and the annoying girl behind me is my sister Lola." I hold out my hand as if to shake them, but when she takes mine, I lightly kiss
her hand. "It's a pleaser to meet you Rose." Her face turns even darker, now looking like a blood red rose. "Thanks, same to you." Just then the
bell rings, lunch time. We all stand up, I wait with Lola till the stamped is over and to my surprise I find Rose still standing by us.
Lunch is revolting to most of the school kids, unless I'm cooking for the day, and that's only once a week, every Friday. So the lunch
people only make two or three helpings. "Thanks Ann! Looks better then before. You been practicing outside of school?" I'm always chipper at
lunch, food dose that to me. "Nope, I mimicked what you did last week! It's not as good but I'm learning." Now, I cook Fridays, but a student is
picked at random to cook every other day of the week. Most of the time it's me, Lola, or Ann. Rose looks at it, and looks interested not disgusted in the
shepherds pie. "Wow, this looks really good. I can't wait to try it!" She smiles at Ann, who's face is starting to glow, and takes the try to the table Lola was sitting
at. I chuckle and fallow her. "So, Lola, do you and wolf brain live near here?" She takes a bite of the 'pie' and smiles, clearly enjoying it. I nom on it, trying to
look like I didn't care about the new nick name. Wolf... Where'd she come up with a wolf?
The rest of the day passes normally, only with Rose sitting in front of me. I sigh, what are the odds she'd ever like me? A weird, borderline emo freak?
The odds were not on my side, but what the hell! Why not try? Lola and Rose make plans to go to some hair place that was just added not to long ago, I'm just
glad I have to work so I can't go to! "Ya know Rose, I'm surprised you still have that hand!" Lola pokes the one she patted me with. "Leon here, he hates people
touching his hair." Rose, who was sitting behind me talking to Lola, raps her arms around my neck. My face feels like it's on fire, growing dark red instantly, and
she kisses my cheek. "Well then, and here I thought you didn't bite." One of the guy's who play football walk over, clearly unhappy that she was hugging me, let
alone the kiss. "Hey god boy! What the hell are you doing hitting on an innocent girl like that?" Rose backs away slowly, all her bravery and flirtation vanishing
the moment he opened his mouth. I grab his arm, slamming his face on the desk with a dark growl sounding from near by. "How dare you scare her like that!
And I'll do what I damn pleas, got a problem with that big guy? If you do, I'd be MORE then happy to take you down a few sizes." Lola rips my arm away from
his head, clearly worried more about him then me. "Look Len, just walk away before he really losses his temper." Len hurries away, rubbing his head where I left
marks, complaining to his buddies. Two hands lightly place themselves on my shoulder blades, and Rose's soft voice washes over me. "Thank you for sticking up
for me, but now they are going to..." Lola burst out laughing, cutting Rose's words off, and shocking the entire room. Lola was not one to make a scene let alone
burst out laughing in front of the class. "YOU are worried about HIM? This is just to much..." Al walks over, whispering softly to her, clearly asking if she wanted
to go home early, but getting a no. I stand up, and walk calmly over to Len, and his foot ball/bass ball/ jock buddies. "How about it? Right here right now? I've
been itching for a fight." All the color drains from his face, but his buddies surround us, leaving him no choice, and offering help if he needed it. I feel a sickly
sadistic smile spread across my face. One of them grab my shoulder and nearly yell, "Who da hell do yo..." I slam his face into the wall, braking his nose on the
bricks. "Do. Not. Touch. Me!" I toss him into his friends, plowing them all over like twigs. I hear Rose yell, one of them were going after her, clearly planing on a
hostage. I jump, using a desk to get higher, and plow the guy sideways. We hit the ground and I do an easy flip back on my feet instantly, enjoying the sound of
bones braking. "Did he hurt you?" I look at Rose and Lola, both shake their heads but gasp when one of the bigger guy's raps his arms around my entire body. I
thrust my head into his face, and someone punches him in the side of the face. A flash of blue catches my eye and I can't help but smile. Jocks Vs. The emo
silent guy's. About the entire class Vs Two. I like the odds! The big man hits the floor like bricks. And just like that the fight is over. Len, still sitting in his chair,
now looks not at me like a monster but like I'm someone amazing. I walk over, and hold out my hand. "Truce?" I sit there, feeling like a fool for even offering
this guy a chance at being a friend, and to my surprise, he shakes my hand like he means it. "Hell yeah! You should play..." I squeeze his hand, silencing him
and warning him he was going to far. He nods, "So, what da hell are you? Humans don't growl." I look at him like he is crazy, and feel Lola's and on my shoulder,
silencing me before I could say anything. "Don't ask what you don't want to know." And the last bell rings just then, so Lola, Rose, and I start walking home.
Turns out she lives just up the rode! Closer to the school then us, but still cool to know. To bad my sudden mood swings got a hold of me the first day she came,
now she probably thinks I'm no better then the jocks, and maybe she would be right...
