I craned my neck my head around the corner of the tree and watched the deer drinking from the river taking a big whiff of air I groaned at the delicious smell of the deer making my mouth water a little. I had not eaten all day and my stomach was growling. Looking at the deer again I realized it had not noticed that I was even there. Slowly I stepped out from behind the tree and again the deer had not seen me so I slowly continued to make my way to the deer until a twig snapped right under my foot. Looking up I saw the deer had heard me and looked my way then quickly ran off, cursing I ran off after the deer using my super speed allowing me to catch up to the deer as it continued to try and run from me. I zoomed through the woods running past trees and jumping over logs and branches finding the right opportunity to catch the deer, I knocked some trees over in the process as well. Looking ahead I saw a perfect spot to grab the deer. I jumped behind a tree and waited for the deer to approach the tree and taking the chance I jumped out and tackled the deer using my razor sharp fangs to sink into its neck weakening it. I bit down as hard as I could and when the deer seemed weak enough I stood up and snapped its neck so that it was officially dead. When I was done I stood up and wiped the blood from my mouth, picked the deer up, slinging it over my shoulder and made my way home.

When I saw that no one had left the door opened I signed angrily and kicked it open. Stepping into the big house I took my shoes off knowing mom would be mad if I didn't and give me a lecture even though I was carrying a dead deer over my shoulder. My mom is a very confusing lady but I loved her with all my heart, she was all I had left when my dad had died in a drive by shooting at his old police station. It had devastated me and my mom but we had managed to survive on our own.

I was so lost in my thoughts I hadn't realized that my best friend/brother Logan was right around the corner. We bumped into each other and when I realized it was him I said "Oh hey Logan"

"Hey C got another kill there" he said smiling as he looked at the deer over my shoulder.

"Yeah and it was a hard one to. I was literally out there for half an hour trying to track something down. Hopefully we don't run out of food options" I said as I walked by him to the kitchen Logan in tow. I dropped the deer on the big table in the center of the kitchen and turned to face Logan. "Where is the family?"

"Kendall and Katie are still out shopping and Camille and Dak are hunting for some food as well in the area but they will be glad you caught something. Your mom and Jared are at the grocery store." He said.

I nodded and walked past him again only this time to get to my room and not surprisingly he followed. "Carlos is you ok?" he asked as we walked to the stairs. He had a habit of always asking me if I was ok and it bothered me a lot. I had been alone for a while and it didn't bother me none but it bothered him a great deal. Everyone in my family had someone and was happy. Logan had been with Kendall for a long time and Dak and Camille had been together for a while as well. My mother had even found someone after years of being without my father she had that my dad would want us to move on and be happy. Even Kendall's little sister Katie had a new crush at school.

Signing I looked at the ground and hated it when the family worried about me and I especially hated it because I was just fine on my own. There was no secret that I was a bisexual boy but my relationships had not been great. People who I thought I loved ended up hurting me or cheating on me. My last ex had begged me to take her back but I had refused her. Her name was Lucy Stone and she was a nice girl at first and I thought she was my true mate but she ended up being a cold heartless bitch that had never cared about me even though she claimed to love me. Since then I haven't been in a relationship since then and was depressed about it for a while but I had gotten better but stopped looking for a relationship I just figured when it was my time to love someone they would show up. To me being alone was just fine right now and I wanted it to be that way. I tried walking to my room again of course with Logan still in tow.

"Logan look I am fine. Yes I have been on my own for a while and I do want what you all have but that is someday way done the road. My heart was broken really bad and right now I just don't want to get involved with anyone" I said hoping Logan would get off my dam back and just leave me alone for now. Of course it didn't work.

"Carlos come on it has been eight years since Lucy. You can't be alone forever and you certainly can't let her drag you down with you any further." He said concern in his voice.

Growing impatient I approached my bedroom door turning around to face Logan I said "I will be with someone someday now please just leave me alone and let me know when the family gets back" I said and before I let Logan speak I closed the door on his face and thankfully he stopped bugging me. I walked into my big room sitting down onto my bed thinking a lot about mine and Logan's conversation. I know he was worried but I needed him to just let me be. Signing I stood up from my bed and began stripping out of my clothes deciding to take e shower to get the blood off of my skin. I made my way to my bathroom and tossed my clothes in the hamper.

"I will wash them later" I thought as I turned on the water and when it was hot enough I began to scrub the blood off of me. My thoughts then drifted once again to my family I mean I knew they wanted what was best for me and right now that was to leave me alone.

After I had scrubbed the blood off me quickly washed my hair and stepped out of the shower drying myself with a towel. When I was finished I pulled on a pair of black sweats and a white V-neck shirt. Realizing I was a little tired I flopped down on my bed and decided to wait there till my family got home. I thought about my life right now and it was pretty good. I was surprised by people I loved and yes I got lonely but I made up for it by keeping myself busy. I didn't need a love life and if I just waited maybe someone who wasn't a dick or a bitch would come my way so curling up on my bed I shut my eyes and fell asleep.

About two hours later I woke up to the peaceful humming of the forest that surrounded our home. The plus side for my abilities is my hearing. I loved hearing the things around me and the forest was one. Sitting up and yawning I stretched the muscles on my back and arms feeling relaxed, looking at my clock I saw that it was seven o clock pm.

"Mom is probably home" I thought as I tossed the covers off of my body and stood up stretching some more. When I was finished I walked to my dresser to pull some jeans on. After that I made my way out of my room and made my way down the hall passing the library and the study to the staircase. We had a very big house, not like a mansion but it had three bedrooms, five bathrooms, including mine, and it had a huge balcony with a great view of the woods and even beyond that. We were kind of isolated from the town but that was because we wanted to be and we liked it that way. We didn't want to accidentally be a trouble to the town or be caught in our real form so we lived a little away from it. There weren't a lot of our kind out here but we coped.

When I was halfway down the stairs I looked out into the living room and saw Kendall and Logan cuddled together on the couch while Camille and Dak were kissing on the couch.

"Get a room" I said to them when I walked the rest of the way down the stairs and passed the couch. They all jumped at my voice but I didn't give them a chance to respond or even talk to me because I made my way into the kitchen hoping that my mother would be in there. I was correct for she was cutting up the deer that I had brought in, probably getting ready to cook it for dinner.

"Hey mom" I said walking all the way into the kitchen. She turned to face me and said "Hey sweetie how was your day? Thank you for picking up the deer for us Dak and Camille didn't find much." She put the knife down and wiped her hands before she gave me a tight hug.

"You're welcome and my day was ok" I said walking over to the fridge and took out a bottle of water. I swallowed a little sip, sensing that my mother was looking at me I turned around and found that I was correct.

"What!?" I said impatiently as she continued to stare at m. She signed looking down at the floor before looking back at me her blue eyes filled with sadness. "Carlos I am worried about you, you have been very distant from all of us and all you really do is work out and hunt."

"Yeah and what's wrong with that" I muttered putting my water bottle down and about to leave the kitchen until my mom grabbed my arm continuing to talk. "Sweetie I know you have been hurt a lot and you cannot avoid everyone I know that deep down you want to be loved and love in return and maybe that will-" she said but I cut her off midway.

"No mom it isn't going to happen for me anytime soon. None of you can or will understand this or even me" I said angrily as I pulled my arm out of her grasp and darted out of the kitchen to the front porch. I could hear them all calling my name but I wouldn't listen to them. Growling I jumped off the front porch and ran away from my family and my home using my super speed.

"Carlos come back" I heard my mom scream but I ignored her, I didn't want to deal with this now and I wish they would all just leave me alone about my love life and previous relationships. So I juts continued to run and run as fast as my legs would take me not bothering to look back or acknowledge what part of the woods that I was in my only thoughts was getting far away from my family. Finally after miles of running I had to stop, the beat of my heart was so fast I could hear it but I didn't really care at this moment. Deciding I had run far enough I walked for a bit to slow my heart down I walked for a while and actually thought a lot what my mom had said and I hated to admit it but I knew my mom was right: I was alone and it has been a very long time but for me I wasn't ready. I just wanted to make sure I didn't get hurt again and until then I would just have to wait for someone to come along and that's when my thoughts drifted to the couples in our house. They had been together for years and that's what I had wanted.

"So does your family" a little voice in my head said.

"I know" I whispered quietly to no one in particular and felt my anger disappear. I didn't feel mad anymore just guilty and sad. I knew all they wanted was to see me happy and I needed to stop being miserable.

I sat down near the river that I walked to and stared at my reflection for a while knowing that there was a part of me out there in someone else that I had not found yet, someone who would love me as much as I loved them and would be with me forever.

"Carlos" I soft voice said interrupting my thoughts. Immediately I recognized the voice and looked up to see my mom standing a few feet away from where I was at.

"Hi mom" I said not really sure of what else to say to my mom who has always been there for me and I had just ran out on her. She slowly walked to where I was sitting and joined me. We were silent for a minute and I wanted to speak but didn't know what to say. Luckily mom started.

"Carlos honey-"but I cut her off knowing I had to do the talking.

"Mom before you says anything just knows I am very sorry for what I did back there. I know that you guys are only trying to be there for me and do what's best for me but you have to understand that I am still very sad about Lucy. I thought she loved me and I loved her very much and when I caught her cheating it just destroyed me." I felt myself close to tears and I turned my head away not wanting my mom to see me like this.

"Oh sweetie" my mom said as she leaned her head against me shoulder pulling me into a hug. Not being able to hold back anymore I turned to face my mom burying my face into her shoulder and cried harder than I ever have before. I never have cried not even when my dad died. I always had to be strong for my mom but at this moment I felt like the world had come crashing down on me and I couldn't hold back the pain and tears that I had been before as years of bottled up emotions came pouring out.

"Baby its ok, I know you are hurting very bad but we are here for you. Someday you will find that special someone and when you do you will be so happy. Carlos if you try to be happy again then I promises we will not worry so much about you but you have to promise me ok?"

Looking up at my mom and blinking through my tears I smiled at her and was glad to hear that she would let me be if I tried to be happy. I would have to try though just because when I made promises I always kept them. "Ok mom I promise" I said as I leaned my head against her shoulder and hugged her. She hugged me back and kissed my head.

"Mom I also promise that someday I will find someone and eventually be very happy like all of you but I will just have to wait for that someone to come."

"Carlos isn't you aware that you haven't even imprinted? So how did you know you were meant to be with Lucy? It doesn't seem like she is your true mate and you know when you look at someone you know right away that they are the one and I don't think it was Lucy" she said and that's when I realized she was correct. When you imprinted it felt like you were connecting with someone instantly and felt like you were floating, I had never felt that when I looked at Lucy and I was just now realizing it, maybe my soul mate was out there somewhere I would just have to wait though, I decided not to tell my mom that she was right. Instead I said "I will be happy someday"

"That's all I want baby" she said her blue eyes shining at me as she smiled her radiant smile. "I love you so much"

"I love you to mom and thank you" I said to her giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Now come on Carlos let's go home you have school tomorrow" with that she stood up and offered her hand to me. I took it and stood up with her, smiling we both ran back home but as we ran my mind drifted to when I would find my one true mate who I am destined to be with.

James POV

My alarm blared in my ear and groaning I turned over and quickly shut it off. Laying on my back I stared at the ceiling for a bit and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes before standing up from my bed, I was starting a new school today and wished more than anything that we had never moved. I would be the brand new geeky student who everybody would pick on today especially because it would be my first day. I quickly grabbed my glasses from my bedside and standing up I walked over to the mirror in my room and signed. Bruises covered parts of my body that weren't covered by my grey tank top. There was a huge cut on my cheek and my black eye was less swollen.

"At least this round of my beating wasn't as bad as the last few" I mumbled as I walked to my bathroom to take a shower. I turned it on and made sure the water was warm enough before I got in, removing my glasses in the process. The water felt good against my bruised skin and my cuts that covered almost half of my body. Slowly I washed my hair as I thought more about the school I would be attending. Groaning again at the thought I finished washing my hair and hopped out of the shower grabbing a towel. Quickly drying my hair I wrapped it around me I put my glasses back on and went to brush my teeth, having my own bathroom was nice because then I wouldn't have to smell my mom's heavy scented perfumes and deal with her and my dad hogging the shower. When I was done in the bathroom I waked over to my dresser and pulled out a clean pair of boxers and my only pair of jeans that wasn't ripped or dirty and a black t-shirt that have one little rip in it but I really didn't care what I wore to school because I was going to get judged anyway for being the new guy. Looking at my appearance I just groaned and quickly used some foundation to cover up my revealing bruises not wanting anyone at school looking at me funny or the teachers asking any questions. Thankfully nobody had ever found out that I use foundation and I was never made fun of it but I didn't really have a lot of friends anyway and starting a new school just felt like it was going to be hell for me.

"James" I then heard a voice scream and I realized that it was my mom and my body tensed when I heard her coming up the stairs to my room. She threw open the door and I turned to face her with a frown on my face. Her long brown hair was up in curlers and she was wearing her long black silk robe. She may be a beautiful woman on the outside but inside my mom was cold and mean. She had no life to her and all she cared about was the money my dad made and my dad. She didn't love me and I knew she didn't by the way she ignored me and treated me, and my dad didn't care for me either. They thought I was a burden on them and they only reason they really kept me was because my dad needed a punching bag and that happened to be me, he took joy into my pain and loved when I would beg to have it stopped and they only put me in school so I would be gone for most of the day.

My mom blew out a puff of smoke from her cigarette and said "Hurry up boy or you will be late for school" she then left my room with a hard slam on the door that made me flinches. Shrugging I grabbed my backpack and slowly walked down the stairs dreading what I would find and when I reached the end of the stairs I walked into the kitchen where my parents were sitting both enjoying a glass of wine, and I also noticed that my dad's friends/gang were sitting in the living room watching TV and drinking beer. Putting my head down I walked into the kitchen to where my parents were sitting. They did not even look up at me or acknowledge that I was there until I grabbed an apple from the bowl on our island and was about to walk out the door until my dad spoke up.

"James sits down before you go anywhere" he said not looking up from his newspaper.

Gulping me slowly made my way back to the kitchen and sat down at the table trembling waiting for my dad to talk, glaring he then looked up at me and said "Remember no friends son, I do not want you talking to anybody and I don't need people being suspicious of you now do I make myself clear."

"Yes sir" I said sadly. This was part of the reason why I didn't have any friends. See my dad was the whole reason that my life was miserable. He was a drug dealer and he and my mom were so greedy for the money that they would kill anyone who got in their way. I was accidental and that only had me so they could take their problems out on me, but my mom thankfully had a very sweet sister who took me away from them and began to raise me as her own for a while, she even sued my parents for custody in hopes that she would win. Unlike my parents my aunt cared very much for me and she was more of a mom to me then my own, she knew the horrible life my parents were involved in and tried to get me away from it but sadly the day of the trial for their final decision my aunt was in a car accident and had died on the way to the hospital so because I have no other family I am forced to stay with my parents until I am eighteen. When my aunt had died I felt like my world was shattered and I was now stuck in the world on my own, my true mother had died and I lay awake at night crying just wishing she was back so I wouldn't be miserable with my current life. I wanted a life of happiness, a family who cared for me and some actual friends who liked me for who I am, I wanted to go to school to pursue my dreams and wanted to go out at night with friends and have fun go to the lame schools, but most of all what I wanted was a relationship which I couldn't have. I am actually gay and of course nobody knows because if my dad found out he would for sure kill me so I kept it my secret but earned for a relationship with someone who would just return love to me who would take me away from this horrible life like my aunt had tried to do and allow me to live a happier life. I pictured myself like that with a nice big house and a husband who loved me and I would be far away from the drug business and my parents.

My happy thoughts were then interrupted when my dad said "Ok James, Steven there is going to take you to your new school and remember no friends what so ever."

"Yes sir" I said again to my dad as I stood up from the table and noticed Steven leaning against the wall eye balling me. I shivered at the way he was looking at me and I guess it was fair to say that I was terrified of him. He always gave me these weird looks and some looked like they were usually filled with lust. He was a few years younger than my dad possible in his late twenties or early thirties and had longish dirty blond hair. His eyes were a piercing hazel color that looked both cruel and could at the same time, he was very tall and muscular and his stare had scared me so bad that I would have nightmares about it, all of my dad's gang scared me but Steven was the worst.

"Let's go kiddo" Steven said interrupting my thoughts. I nodded my head at him and slowly walked out of the house him close on my tail, I walked stiffly and uncomfortably wishing that he was in front of me and not behind me and he seemed to sense this because he threw an arm across my shoulders and said "I am not going to hurt you kid…much"

I whimpered a little at what he had said and he just chuckled at me. Finally we got to his car and I walked slowly to the passenger seat climbing in and stayed as close to the window as I could because I was afraid that Steven would try and touch me, he has tried to on several occasions and I had managed to avoid him for a while. My parents had even noticed that he tried but of course they didn't care or say anything about it. My dad's whole gang did that to me actually it wasn't just Steven, it's like they knew that I was gay and just liked torment me.

Steven and I didn't talk on the way to school and I was thankful for it because he would say the weirdest things but after a bit he did break the silence and began to talk about how he had hated school and he got involved in the drug business so he could drop out and not have to worry about money. I hardly listened to him and just waited until we pulled into the school and I hurried out of Steven's car as best as I could.

"Have a great day kiddo" he said with a wink and I nodded to him before I turned around and looked at the giant school right before me. It was a very big school that was wide and looked like it had two floors. There were two huge football fields with stadiums and a few portables for outside classes.

"Northwood High" I muttered as I walked up the steps to the huge school. Ass I got closer it seemed like the school was getting bigger and I was more likely to get lost.

"Here we go" I muttered walking into the big school and searching for the principal's office ignoring all the glances I got from some of the students but none of them said anything to me. I wandered around for a few more minutes until a voice interrupted me. "Are you new here?" looking around I saw a girl with long curly brown hair and sparkling brown eyes. She was shorter than me and had caramel colored, she had a bright smile on her face and was very beautiful.

"Uh yeah I am" I said trying really hard not to look her in the eye but it was very hard not to the way they were all sparkling at me and she was being so nice. "I'm looking for the principal's office"

"Ok that is going to be straight down the hallway to your left" she said pointing to the direction.

"Thank you" I said about to walk away from her until she said "So what's you name and where are you from?"

"James and I moved here from California" I said again trying to get away from her remembering what my dad had said. I could tell she was about to ask me more questions until a tall boy with the same caramel colored skin as hers came up beside her.

"Hey babe" he said giving her a kiss. She smiled then turned to face me and said "I am Camille by the way and this is my boyfriend Dak." she said motioning to the guy standing beside her.

Dak held out his hand to me but I pretended not to see it and he sensed this because he said "Dude I don't bite it's nice to meet you." Deciding to stop being rude I held out my hand and shook his. "James Diamond" I whispered quietly to him.

"Well James nice to meet you" Dak said and I couldn't help but notice that he and Camille seemed a little different than the rest of the kids in the school, but I shrugged it off and without another word to them and not even saying goodbye I headed for the principal's office and was almost halfway there until I ran into someone.

"Watch it nerd" a boy with dirty blond hair said as her eyed me with his sharp green eyes. He was as tall as me but with a more muscular build and looked like he could beat up anyone with no problem. Behind him there was a group of people who were giving me the death glare and something else I noticed was that they were paler then Camille and Dak and were not kind what so ever to me, they all wore leather and looked like the type of kids that were not nice to anyone.

"Well well well lookie here fellas we got a new little nerd in this school" Jett said as one of the boys laughed at me. I just looked at the ground. Looks like I was going to have some bullies, my thoughts were then backed up as the one with blond hair shoved me against a locker and said "When we are talking to you answer us loser ya hear me."

Again I didn't speak to him and found myself looking down at the ground and not into the boy's face and that seemed to make him mad because he said "Look here newbie I own this school and if you or anyone else dare stand in my way I will break those nerdy glasses then I will break you."

"Jett back off" a female voice said and I looked over to see a very pretty girl with long blond hair and green eyes looking at me and the group that was tormenting me. She looked nice like that Camille girl. She then approached the group and pushed Jett away from me and said "Leave now or I promise you will be sorry"

Jett just scoffed but he backed off. Before he left though he looked at me and said "See you soon you nerdy piece of shit." That felt like a slap to my face and I fought the urge to cry. When Jett and his crew walked away I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding and whispered a silent thank you to the girl. She smiled kindly and said "Ignore Jett he just thinks that because he's captain of the football team that he rules the world, just do your best to ignore him."

"Complete asshole" I muttered pushing my glasses up on my face a little more.

"I'm Jo" she said smiling at me and holding her hand out.

"James Diamond" I said taking her hand and shaking it again not wanting to be rude to her especially because she had saved me from Jett. Smiling she said "So where are you headed?"

"Principal's office" I answered.

"Oh right just keep going down the hall you won't miss it" she said pointing in the direction where Camille had pointed. "Maybe I will see you in class."

"Yeah maybe" I said before giving her a small smile. I thanked her then walked to the principal's office. When I got there I met principal Griffin who seemed nice. He gave me my class schedule and a map of the school. Looking at it I saw that I had math first and I made my way out of the office in search of it. Fortunately I was able to find the classroom but unfortunately I saw that I had the class with Jett. He recognized me and sent me a death glare before returning to talking to some chick. When I looked around for a place to sit me saw that Camille and Jo were in that class and I signed in relief, there was even a seat open next to them but I chose to sit on the far side of the room even though I didn't want to. They looked over at and smiled but remembering my dad's rules I shrunk down in my seat and waited for the teacher to begin the lesson. When it began I noticed that Camille and Jo looked in my direction seeming confused about why I wasn't sitting with them. Jett was also looking at me but he had a more evil look to him then the sweet girls. I really hated my dad right now because some people here were being so nice to me but my dad prohibited me from having any friends I wished more than anything that I could though. Deciding to forget about it now I tried to focus on the math lesson.

After math class I made my way to my second period class which was history. I ended up having only Jett in that class which was way better then Jett and when I didn't sit next to him he actually came over and sat in the seat in front of me.

"Oh hey DaK" I said to him as he sat down. He said hi back and I tried to ignore him but he began to ask me a lot of questions about my life before coming here and what kind of business my dad was involved in and if anyone had asked I told them my dad's cover story: he works for a construction company.

"Interesting" Dak said after I had told him that and was about to ask me something else until the teacher walked in and we had to be quiet and listen to the lesson. I actually really liked history class and thankfully Dak didn't ask me any more questions and I was able to focus. When class was over before Dak could talk to me I rushed out of the class and made my way to English which had only Camille in it. I took a seat hoping she didn't see me but she did because she came and took a spot in front of me.

"Hey James how is the first day going?" she asked and I was about to answer her until I heard a male voice call out Camille's name she turned around and I craned my neck so I was looking behind her and saw two boys approaching where we were both sitting. One was tall and had blond hair that was long enough to cover his eye brows but not long enough to cover his hazel eyes. I thought he was actually kind of cute but he didn't look ort seem like my type plus he was holding hands with the boy standing next to him which happened to be a cute brunette with brown eyes. They were both extremely cute and I couldn't help but stare at them. Camille seemed to notice this because she said pointed at them and introduced me "James this is Kendall and Logan; guys James just moved here from California this is his very first day."

"Oh really well hey man what's up" Kendall said holding out his hand and again I hesitated before taking it. Logan followed suit and I shook his hand as well.

"So California huh why did you move from there to boring old Minnesota" Logan asked.

"My dad got transferred got his job so we had to move" I said quietly to them.

"How do you like it out here so far?" Kendall asked.

"I'm not sure haven't really gotten a chance to look around and figure that part out but so far it's not so bad and I have met a few nice people and I think it's pretty out here" I said feeling myself opening up more to them and they listened with interest. They were talking to me about wheat they liked to do out here until someone came up interrupting the conversation.

"Hey guys what's up and who's the new guy here" the voice said and like everyone else I looked up and my jaw dropped along with my heart skipping a beat for standing right there in front of me was the most beautiful boy I had ever seen in my life. He was a tall Latino with dark caramel skin and the blackest hair I have ever seen. His body was all muscle and I stared into those beautiful chocolate brown eyes that were full of confident and life. He was so beautiful and so lively that I wished more then anything that I could kiss those soft looking lips. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice that Camille was actually introducing me to him.

"Uh what" I said being able to pull my eyes away from the boy. Camille looked at me confused before it turned devious and I felt the blood rush to my cheeks when I realized that she knew I had been staring at him.

She cleared her throat and said "I said this is Carlos my brother." He gave me a warm smile that showed off his pearl white teeth and I felt my heart melt.

"James" I managed to say as I reached out and shook his hand. As I shook it I noticed that even though Camille had said that they were brother and sister they really didn't look anything alike. "Must be adopted" I thought.

"Yeah Camille said you name to me" he said with a wide grin.

"Oh yeah right…. Sorry" I said looking down at my desk feeling my blush growing deeper than before.

"Well welcome James hope you like it here" Carlos said with another warm smile that just made me want to melt. He then took the seat next to me and my breath hitched and I didn't know how long I would be able to control myself around Carlos anymore he was just so dam beautiful and I wanted him right now more than anything. Tearing my gaze away from him I tried to focus on my English lesson but my eyes had a mind of my own and kept wandering to where Carlos was sitting. He was writing something down in his notebook and he seemed to sense that I was looking at him because he turned his head to face me and I quickly looked away hoping he hadn't noticed that I had been staring at him. When I tried to look at Carlos again out of the corner of my eye I saw that he was still staring at me. He had a very serious loom on his face as if he was angry or struggling to contain himself from losing control of something. I was too afraid to even look him in the eye or even try and look at him. Again I looked out of the corner of my eye, which I hoped was a little hidden behind the rim of my glasses, and I saw him take a deep breath before he went back to writing something in his notebook. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and even though his stare scared me I didn't want him to stop looking at me.

I was about to sneak another peak at Carlos before the bell suddenly rang signaling that it was lunch time. Carlos got up quicker than anyone else in the class and was also out of the door before anyone. I stared after him for the longest time confused wondering why he was nice at first but then looked like he was angry about something as soon as he sat down next to me.

"Don't mind him he just doesn't like English." Camille said to me and I just nodded and walked out of the classroom with her.

"Hmm" I said staring off in the distance of the hallway hoping to see Carlos appear somewhere in my sight.

"James does you like my brother?" Camille asked as she smiled up at me with that same devious smile.

My eyes widened and I said or more like stuttered out me response. "What-no I mean me-I don don't know h-him, h-h-how could I like him?"

"James relax its really ok" she said.

Camille pleased don't say anything I beg of you I mean he probably doesn't even like guys let alone a guy like me." I said a little sadly knowing it was true.

"James Carlos is actually into guys he is bisexual but you didn't hear it from me and as far as I'm concerned anyone would be lucky to have someone like you" she said patting me on the shoulder and smiling at me.

"Thanks Camille" I said and she smiled before walking toward what I assumed was the cafeteria. I debated on following her but decided to actually eat lunch outside by myself. I hadn't been following my dad's rules very well and figured I should get back to trying. I may have made a few friends but I had to get back to ignoring them and the thought made me sad but as far as I was concerned though no one was my friend and nobody wanted to be

Walking to my locker I grabbed my lunch and made my way out the doors to find a place to sit but as I searched my mind kept drifting to the beautiful Latino who I wanted more than anything right now despite having first met him there was something interesting about him.
