THE ASSASSIN AND HIS FAMILY

Chapter 1:

As I opened the door, a thought struck me. 'What are they going to think of me', 'What will people say…' but I was interrupted by my mother Gill shouting 'Hurry up Sinead your going to be late!' So I ran out the door and jumped into my red Volkswagen beetle and speeded off.

As I arrived at school there was an unsurprising line of traffic behind me. So I took the nearest parking space, grabbed my stuff and jumped out of the beetle and head to the building with the sign 'office' on it.

As I entered the office I noticed one with desk and a woman sitting behind the desk. The woman was a slim build, had grey eyes and grey hair to match. There was no else except the woman and I in the room.

I approached the desk and said in a shy reserved voice 'Excuse me please, I'm Sinead Collins.' As I spoke I saw the name 'Collins' register. She eyed me up and down and gave me a fake smile and said 'Oh how silly of me, I should have known who you were. It's not that hard not pick a new student in a small town like this' and handed me a form and then asked 'Can you fill this out please, while I organize your papers.' I took the form and said with a week smile 'Thanks!'

After all the forms and stuff were sorted, I left to find my first class, English. My teachers name was Mrs. O'Connell. She was nice but expected me just to know everything at once, idiot! In that class I meet a girl named Alison Nolan. She was nice and really friendly. She asked me did I want to sit with her at lunch. I answered enthusiastically 'YES thanks!!' She smiled and replied 'So, what's your next class?' I blurted out 'French.' She looked at me with a disappointed smile 'Sugar, I have Spanish, I guess I'll see you at lunch, of course that's if you make it.' I smiled extremely week and nervously laughed and turned around to walk to my next class. I took one look back and waved at Alison.

As I waved, the thing that Alison said rang in my ear 'If you make it.' but I was disturbed by a push I got. Then this magnificent angel like boy or what other people would say "man" turned around to me and with his perfect apologetic face picked me up from the floor and frowned when he looked at and said 'Sorry, are you okay? I'm so sorry, my brother Matthew tripped which pushed me onto you! Sorry again!' I was so memorised by his face I didn't even hear what he said.

Then his brother Matthew interrupted my or should I say our conversation by asking 'Is she okay?' The angel replied 'Yes, I think so. I better get her to the nurse's office just in case!'

Before I knew it I was up in his arms and entering the door of the nurse's office.

When we arrived, the nurse or 'Nurse Jane', the name engraved in her nametag, spoke to the angel and said in a fed-up voice 'What happened this one?' It was obvious we interrupted her tea break. Cullen replied 'I knocked her over hard in building 1 by mistake and said I'd better bring her to the nurse's office in case she has a concussion.' She glanced at him and then moved her eye's over to me and then finally muttered 'Put her on the examination table' and gave a sigh.

While in there I just starred at his face. No matter what I did I couldn't take my eyes off the angel's face!!

Once I was done in the nurse's office the angel helped me down off the examination bed and led me out the door. I said 'Thank You' in a weak voice on my way out. When I was outside in the fresh air again, the angel stated to me in a angelic perfect 'Hi, sorry again. Oh and by the way I'm Cullen Meyer' I just stood there like an idiot, dazzled and trying to take in the information. He grinned at me and started laughing. I stood there frozen by is cheeky, sly grin and beautiful laugh. He looked at me again and said this time in a nervous voice 'Oh my god, are you okay?' I still just stood there like a complete dumbass when Cullen swooped me up into his arms without a bother may I add and sprinted into the nurse's office and shouted something to the nurse, that I didn't hear and she came rushing over to me and screamed to Cullen 'Put her on the table now' He placed me on the bed carefully as if I was some precious expensive family air loom.

The nurse approached me for the second time but this time in a more affectionate manner. I was still a bit nauseous but said nothing in case the nurse or Cullen would worry.

'She's going down fast.'

Cullen looked at her with fear in eye's and replied softly 'Will I ring an ambulance or someone?'

'Em…..let me think, call Dr.Stewart'

Cullen ran over to the desk and picked up the phone and I assume called the doctor because in just a few minutes Dr.Stewart arrived.

He came straight to me. He was an old man, around 60, near retirement. He was bald and had piercing blue eyes. He took another step towards me and started to examine me.

I still just stayed there, frozen as a statue like an complete idiot! I could see Cullen close attention to the doctor examination and then he ran out of the room when the doctor asked me to 'take my top off' so he could examine my chest. I laughed out loud and then all of sudden all the eyes where on me.

Cullen chuckled and gave me his sly grin. Then he commented sarcastically 'She can talk. It's a miracle.'

The doctor gave him a look that unfortunally I couldn't see the look but I guess it was "that was inappropriate" look. The look I was used to getting off my mum.

'It must have been hard for her when I was younger, a single stay at home mom but some how there was always dinner on the table, food in the fridge, money there when I needed.' I thought

Then another thought hit me 'did my dad ever send money or' but I was interrupted by this thought also when Dr.Stewart asked me was I 'okay?'

I replied simple 'yes' with a slight smile on my face from looking at Cullen's perfect porcelain white face with a huge grin across it. Obviously the doctor's previous glare did not effect him. Which I have to admit I was glad about.

The doctor gave me the usual medical advice and left. Cullen lifted me off the examination table and whispered into my ear 'you scared me there for a second, in such a quite mummer that I could barely hear never mind the nurse. I just looked at him and gave him a doubtful face. Scared him? He was unbelievably strong. How could I scare him.
