Pairings: Larten/Arra, Darren/Debbie, Steve/Debbie, Steve/Gannen

His name was Darren. He was new at Mahler's. Darren had came near the end of the school year, his brother who wasn't much older, Steve, didn't bother to show up. Darren was always late and left after everyone else had. You never could tell wheather he had left or not, he seemed to disappear...

"You are Debbie, correct?" someone said behind me.

I turned around and said "Yeah, who wants to know?"

"I am Darren Shan. And you are a creature of mystery..." He said.

"What?"

"You seem to be different. You do not act as a normal mortal would...You are strange...Or, how you say, weird?"

"You're the weird one!" I snapped and walked off to my next class, but his persistance was huge. Turns out we had the next few classes together.

"Debbie, please, I am sorry for that. It was not right for me to say that." He said following behind me.

"I'm sorry for your mother! Great! Now I'm late because of you!" I said and began to run. Suddenly I felt a breeze by my side and looked back. He's gone...How does he do that?!

I ran through the halls to my next class and tried to sneak in. I looked through the door and saw Darren was already there in his seat.

How did he get here before me?! He was behind when we were talking... I thought to myself.

"Care to join us, Mrs. Hemlock?" Mr. March asked, startling me. "Your late again. An excuse?"

"Darren Shan stopped me in the hall and wanted to talk to me!"

"But Mr. Shan was here five minutes ago. This is the tenth time this semester you've been late. I'm sorry, but you must stay after school today for detention. Report here by 3:30, ok?" There was no use arguing, but suddenly Darren spoke up.

"Mr. March, Debbie's telling the truth. I stopped her in the hall when she was going to her locker. She did not wish to talk, but I pressed and blocked her path. Finally when she would not speak to me, I ran to class hoping I would not be late." Darren spoke softly but loud enough for all to hear. His eyes never left the board in the front of the room.

"Then you both will join me after school!" Mr. March said.

I took my seat and listen to him explain how Atoms made up the human body. Time seemed to be slowed down, by the end of class I was ready to fall asleep. but the next two classes passed in a blur. Darren always seemed to be the first one there. He was fast, too fast...

"I know what you are, Darren Shan!" I had snuck up behind him.

"Hm? You know what I am?" He seemed calm and his eyes never left the front board.

"Yeah, I know your not here for your father's work."

"Then why am I here? Is it because I've lived for 113 years, want to find my true love and I'm searching here?" He said jokingly. But something inside me told me to believe him.

So Yeah, first chapter. It's short, but I already have chapter two planned a little... Reviews = Faster updates!
