It was nighttime, music was blasting through the room. Austin was getting pumped for his first day back in high school as a junior. He made a goal, he was going to be part of Marino High's lacrosse team. He was doing pull ups, push ups, sit ups; anything to get help his health. There's one thing you should know. Austin sucks at sports and he has asthma. He was washing his face when he heard a sound, he grab his lacrosse stick he was fixing. He went outside to check was it was but all you heard was cricket noises. He slowly took few steps forward when a guy popped out, dangling from his porch roof. They both screamed.
"DEZ! What the hell are you doing?!" He exclaimed to his ginger friend.
"You weren't answering your phone! Why do you have a bat?" He asked, a little scared.
"Well excuse me, I heard a noise and it's the first thing I grabbed." Austin said, "Why are you hanging upside down anyway?"
"Look, my dad left half an hour ago. His dispatch called they are calling Marino Department and even State Police. They found a body." Explained Dez, lifting himself up dropping to the ground.
"A dead body?" Austin asked.
"No, A body of water." Said Dez sarcastically, "Of course, a dead body,"
"Wait, if they found the body, why are they looking in the woods,"
"That's the thing, they only found half. We're going!" Dez drag Austin and they took Dez's jeep to the woods.
He was running, running through the woods. Dez got caught by his dad, now he's all alone in the woods. He heard growling, that's why he was running. He felt his lungs closing in on him, he grabbed his inhaler in his pocket and took a breath. The growling got louder and louder meaning it was close. He suddenly tripped, he looked at what he tripped on. The dead body! The fell on the hill, the growling was behind him. It jump on him, he screamed. He stood up and ran to the road. A car almost hit him, it swerved through him. He lifted up his shirt, there was blood; he was bitten.
Marino High Highschool is one of the best school in Miami. They're sport is lacrosse. Trent is the captain, dating Trish the popular girl in school. Austin is the nerd of the school, not really good at anything. Dez is Austin's now, Austin was in English class, the professor was giving a boring lesson. The professor was talking about the dead body they found. RIINGG!
He looked around, looking for the source. It sounded like a cellphone. He was looking till his eyes landed on a girl with chestnut hair with ombre highlights, outside sitting on the bench.
"Mom, I'm fine. Can you stop calling, that's like the third time. Yes. I'm fine if I can find a pen. Like did I seriously forget a pen!" She exclaimed the last sentence frustrated. He followed her with his eyes, the principal came to her.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting," He said. He followed her with his eyes while they were walking to his English classroom.
"Guys, This is Allyson, she moved here from California. Please make her feel welcome." The principal said to his English class.
Allyson found a seat behind him, he turned around and handed her a pen.
"Thanks," She smiled.
It was the end of the day, lacrosse try out was starting. He wasn't looking forward to be sitting on the bench all season. Coach handed Austin the lacrosse stick.
"Let's start with you," Coach said.
"Me, but I haven't played," Austin said.
"I know, let's give the guys a little boost of confident," the coach laughed.
He heard Allyson and Trish talking on the bench. The coach blew his whistle, He dropped on the floor. He stood up, but fell back down when the ball made contact with his helmet. His hearing senses are definitely increasing. He concentrates on the ball, for him it was like he had so much time to catch it but for everybody else, it was normal speed. He catches every ball thrown at him including Trent's. He passes the ball back to the coach.
"He seems really good, who is he?" He heard Allyson say to Trish with his senses. He smiled.
"I don't know really, I never noticed him before," replied Trish.
After the game, He noticed Allyson walking off the bench. He walked up to her.
"Hey! I was wondering if you want to go to Melody Diner with me?" Austin asked.
Allyson smiled. "Well, tell me your name and I'll tell you my answer."
"Austin, Austin Moon" he replied giving her his million dollar smile.
She shook it, "Allyson Dawson, but you can call me Ally."
"Hey, you look beautiful!" Austin said to Ally. He was currently standing at her door, picking her up. Ally was wearing a white skater skirt with matching crop top, an oversized cream crochet knit sweater and cream coloured wedges. Her long hair curled done to her back.
She blushed, "Thank you, you look very handsome,"
He was wearing a red v-neck with white jeans and his red high tops with his signature belt. His blonde shaggy hair was messy but in a cute way. He indeed looked very handsome.
They arrived to Melody Diner, the atmosphere was really nice something Ally liked. They ordered and ate. They were making a small talk, getting to know each other when ally asked to go to the bathroom. Austin himself felt like he need to go, not to the bathroom but out of this place in general. He body started hurting, his heart was beating a mile a minute, and he can hear many thoughts. He walked out of the diner. Ally was very disappointed to see him not there, she sat in the booth. When he saw a guy come up to her.
"I'm a friend of Austin's, my name's Chuck. Let me give you a ride home." He said.
Ally smiled.
Line break
"Austin! Austin! What's going on?" Dez shouted through Austin's door.
"Stay away from me! I know everything, Chuck was the one that bit me, the one who killed that person in the woods!" Austin shouted.
"Chuck was the one who took Allyson home, I saw them leaving." Dez said in an uneasy voice.
Austin eyes glowed yellow that is almost looked gold. He flee his room.
Meanwhile, Dez knocked on Ally's house. He saw a red-head middle aged woman open the door.
"Hi, you don't know me but I'm a friend of Allyson's. Now, this is hard to explain but—" Dez rambled on, but he was cut off when the woman called Allyson. She stepped out of her room, looking at Dez very confused.
Austin went to confront Chuck about where he is hiding Ally in the woods.
"She is safe, from you." Then Chuck attacked Austin but their fight was stopped when Chuck paused; alert. "They're here. Run!"
They went to run but Austin was too late he was shot with a crossbow which had him stuck to the tree. Just then, a middle aged man came out of the mist of the forest, with two hunter behind him. Austin stared at his face, he's never seen him before. In a lightining speed, the arrow stuck on his arm hit the floor and the two hunter were on their backs. They had gone away.
Austin was sitting on the bench, clearly waiting for somebody.
"Nice to see you ditch me," he heard a feminine voice knocking him out of his thoughts. There stood Ally looking beautiful as ever with her red skater dress, fishnet stocking and boots. He abruptly stood up.
"Look, I know you're mad I ditched you but I have a perfectly good explanation." He said, "I'll make it up to you, just give me another chance please."
"You're not telling me what it is, aren't you?" She suggested, he shook his head. "Look, my dad's here but it's definitely a yes." She walked to her dad's car. He smiled, and walked away. He turned back around to see the same hunter smiling at him. He was stunned that was Ally's dad.
