PROLOGUE

'Ring...Ring...' The sound of an abnoxious bell filled the school hallways and the many small classrooms that occupied the building. Vlad looked up from the math book he had been staring at in confusion. He slammed the book close and threw it into his backpack. He grabbed his backpack and exited the, now empty, classroom. At the bottom of the school's front steps, he stopped and took a seat on the bottom step, and waited.

About ten minutes later a teenager with raven hair now stood by him. Vlad stood up and looked at him as though he was looking in a mirror. It was Xavier, Vlad's twin brother.

"What took you so long?" Questioned Vlad.

"Sorry bro, I dropped my binder and all my pappers fell out."

"Well, maybe if you cleaned that thing out once in awhile it wouldn't have took you so long." Vlad retorted.

They continued thier walk home. They passed the park about 5 minutes away from their destination for home. The park was empty exceppt for one small child and his mother. Xavier watched the liltle boy as his mother pushed him on the small swing set. Vlad hadn't even noticed them he was to busy staring at his feet, as he walked in a rhythm, almost as if he was thinking to himself; 'Right. Left. Right. Left. Right.'

The little boy fell out of the swing set and scraped his knee, his mother had rushed over and cradled him in her arms, petting his head and whispering little nothings to him in a soothing voice. Xavier looked down as walked staring at the moving motion of his feet as one appeared the other would disappear out of his line of vision.

"Hey, look." Vlad said pointing to a moving van parked at the house next to their's.

"New neighbors." Xavier mumbled.

A young girl about their age walked out the front door of the house and walked over to the van and pulled out a box. Written on the side of the box said: 'Mara's, Do not touch.' Vlad and Xavier were now standing in front of thier home, when they heard a voice out of nowhere.

"Are you our neighbors?" Questioned a girl's voice.

Vlad turned around startled by the girl who was just a couple yards away but now stood directly behind him. "Yes." Was all he was able to mutter out, he was entranced in her hazel eyes.

She gives a shy smile when she sees Vlad closer up. She giggles at his response and puts a stary strand of her dark brown hair behind her left ear.

"Cool," she says a smiling pulling at her lips. "My names Mara. What's yours?"

"Uuumm...I-I'm Vlad," Mara glances to Vlad's left, at Vlad's brother, " Oh. and this is my twin brother, Xavier."

"Nice to meet you, Mara. I appoligize for my brother, He gets nervous around beautiful girls such as yourself." Xavier said in full confidence, smiling, at least until Vlad punched him in the shoulder. Hard.

"Ooowww. What the fuck man!" Mara just started laughing, while Xavier held his now bruised shoulder with his other arm. "Mara! Can you grab a few more of those Boxes!" A female vocie exclaimed from the front door. Mara's Mother.

"Well, I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow. Maybe you can show me around the school since I'm new here." Mara said to Vlad Then turned around and walked back to her house without giving Vlad a chance to respond.

"She totally likes you," teased Xavier. Vlad gave him another punch on the shoulder. More gentle than last time. " Oooww!" "I barely touched you." "Thanks alot alot I think you bruised it last time." Xavier said the sarcasm obvious in his tone of voice.

"Whatever," Vlad responded. His mind traveled back to Mara, and a small smile formed of his lips.
