A/N: I don't actually own the Twilight series or the Midnight Sun draft, even though I would really, really like to, but all of the original ideas belong to me. And all rights to A Real Life Vampire belong to starlitsmile (everything she wrote anyway), but everything else belongs to me and my friend palerthanbella who co-wrote this, but just got an account so it's on my user name!! OK, I'm going to stop know cause this author note is getting longer then the actual story. I know that I said I was going to stop, but I need to say that this is a continuation, and you need to read A Real Life Vampire by starlitsmile if you want to know what is going on (click on profile). ON with the story!!! (For real)

Chapter 1/22

Since Kennedy had crossed over to the dark side, I hadn't imagined things between us getting worse. Boy was I wrong. The next two weeks were downhill for our relationship.

Melissa had Kennedy all so wrapped around her finger, and they were now even dressing alike. Last Friday when Jayden, Max, and I were at our mall's book store looking for things to read thanks to our evil English teacher, and we saw Melissa and Kennedy laughing and walking out of Abercrombie & Fitch with two more of Melissa's clones, Alli and Baylee, carrying their mountain of bags.

In PE, Kennedy would trip me and knock me over when we unfortunately got pared to be on the same team. Whenever Max and I were together(which was most of the day because of our schedule)and we saw Melissa or one of her cronies, they would wave Max's note in the air, read it in their heads, and walk away laughing making Max blush as red as Bella.

I still hadn't found out what the note said, he better tell me this time, after Melissa was out of ear-shot, I pulled Max to the side of the hallway and started think over how I was going to get the information out of him.

"Dang it, Max, this time I'm not taking no for an answer. Tell me what that note said." I hissed so only he could hear, but loud enough so Max could still hear the threat in my tone.

I looked up into Max's eyes, which I had to crane my neck to do standing this close, and he immediately averted my gazed and started shuffling from foot to foot.

"Max, are you going to willingly tell me, or am I going to have to force it out of you?" I said with an evil grin on my face. He flinched back a little, but I knew he wasn't really threatened. Max was a vampire, so my evil grin probably seemed scrawny to him. His flinch soon turned into a smile and he grabbed me into a one armed hug. I smile too; I couldn't help not smiling with him so close to me. I melted away into his chocolate brown eyes. I tried to snap out of it, because I knew that Kennedy still liked him. But at the same time, I was being greedy and selfish. I didn't care that Kennedy still liked him, for that one moment. I was now in love with Max, and nothing seemed to change that.

"I'm not going to tell you," he whispered so low that I could barely even here it. His breath brushed against my neck and he grinned. "You're just going to have to figure that out for yourself. Would you want to be so kind as to join me at O' Charley's to question me?" I nodded, even though I had no idea what had just left his perfectly smooth lips. He trotted off to our next class, leaving me hypnotized as I followed him along. Max was definitely a mystery that I had to solve.

English has been a bore so far; except the part with the feeling of eyes on the back of my neck. Max never took his eyes off me. It felt good, but sometimes a bit creepy. I occasionally turned around to stare back into his eyes, and we'd mouth things at each other. But when the teacher called my name I was disappointed to take my eyes off of him. Once I had answered her questions I would turn back around to stare and converse inaudibly.

"When do you want me to pick you up?" Max mouthed this slowly and clearly. I think a little, still staring at his beautiful eyes.

"How about at seven?" I wished he could pick me up sooner but I didn't want to seem too eager. It was like I had to see him every minute of every day.

"That's too late for me… How about five? I couldn't stand waiting until seven. I may even pick you up sooner. Just be ready, okay?" It was like he could read my mind.It was hard to concentrate with him. But I had understood everything he said. I nodded.
"I love you, Niomi." His eyes glistened, my heart skipped a beat. I gasped the most audible gasp ever. I love you, too. How come I wasn't mouthing this? I couldn't let it out. I was just thinking it. Say it, Niomi, say it. I couldn't come to say it, but I knew I did love him, and for some reason, it seemed like Max did too.

"Is there something wrong, Miss Lem?" Uh oh. I turn around to face daggered blue eyes, hidden away by glasses at the type of her nose. I shake my head no. She paced back and forth, her heels tapping against the tile. Her face was covered in make up that you could barely see her natural skin tone. The brown hair atop her head was stiff with hairspray, and it swayed with her step. Cheap jewelry hung around her neck. "Well, just to make sure everything is fine, why don't you move over beside Kennedy."

What?! Since when has Kennedy been in this class?! Oh my gosh, please don't let her be serious. This cannot be happening! Kennedy is going to make a complete fool of myself. She's kidding, Kennedy isn't in this class, or is she? I turn around and look past Max. Ms. Dumphery was right, there was Kennedy, staring me down with hatred. I sigh and lay my face in my hands; I wanted this to all just go away, and who knew what Kennedy was going to say to me, or even do to me. Kennedy hated me right now, and nothing I tried would seem to change that. I pull myself together and face the teacher. Maybe this would be a good thing. Maybe Kennedy and I will start to like each other again. Yeah, this was a good opportunity. I grab my books and head to the back the room.

Kennedy was in the isle seat so when I got to the desk to get to my seat, Kennedy's foot 'magically' appeared in front of my feet. I stumbled and all my books fell, causing a loud bang.

"Oops, sorry." Kennedy giggled and smiled evilly. My leg was throbbing with pain. I couldn't move either. This was definitely not a good opportunity, it was a trap. Before I knew it, Max was by my side, lifting me off the floor. His cold body made mine shiver, but it felt soothing against my aching leg.

"Mr. Kullun, return to your seat immediately!" Ms. Dumphery said with a gasp.

"I think she broke her leg." Max protested. He was staring into my eyes and then to my leg. Max walked towards the door and Ms. Dumphery became furious. The whole while, Kennedy was watching this with a smirk on her face. She was in for it. My eyes narrowed towards, and then I gasped with pain. My leg didn't seem broken, but close to it.

"I think I'll be the judge of that." Ms. Dumphery approached me cautiously. "Now, where does it hurt?"

"Her leg!" Max practically yelled at Ms. Dumphery. He looked like he was in pain also. Everyone in the classroom was in awe, except Kennedy.

"She can answer for herself. Is it your leg?" Ms. Dumphery returned to face me. I nodded, feeling like a child. I used all my strength to push back the tears forming inside me. I couldn't cry, not in front of Kennedy at least. But still, a small sob came through. Kennedy laughed and rolled on the floor. She looked like she was actually dying of laughter.

"You baby!" Kennedy exclaimed between rounds of laughter. The moment my leg gets healed I am going to personally rip her head off, and with the assistance of my vampire friend. I sob a little bit more and a tear flows down my cheek and Max wipes it away as gentle as he could. I really appreciated Max right now.

"Kennedy, how dare you!? You're the reason this girl is in pain! I want you to write a five page essay on how sorry you are for tripping her!" For that one moment, I actually like Ms. Dumphery, but I was sure that would pass soon. Kennedy's face was priceless; she looked like she was almost in more pain than me. I had a smirk on my face and so did Max. But I tears still crept down my face. I moaned again and the attention soon turned back to me again.

"I think you're right Mr. Kullun. Her leg does seem kind of broken," Max was in disbelief. How long had it taken her to figure that out? "Take her to the nurse, Max; and quickly. Chop, chop. Let's move it." She grabbed a pass and handed it to Max. It seemed like it was no trouble at all for Max to carry me. He ran hastily out the door and headed towards my locker.

"What are you doing? The nurse's office is that way." I pointed weakly towards the hallway to the right. My voice was trembling and weak, as I pressed my cheek against Max's stone, hard, cold chest.

"We're not going to the nurse. I'm taking you home."

A/N: So, how was the first chapter? Most of this chapter was written by palerthanbella, and sorry if anyone doesn't like anything we have done, but we ourselves were dedicated fans, and didn't want starlitsmile's story to be put out of commission, so we took over. Oh, and thanks starlitsmile once again for letting us do this!!
