Katy's POV

I walked into class, avoiding eye contact with...him. My bag banged against my hip as I strolled over to my seat right in front of my reason for breathing...or in other words, my stab-worthy, gorgeous, and alien neighbor. Life can throw some real curve balls at you. I sighed as I sat down, dreading what was about to come. Yet I was also excited for it. Go figure.

The usual poke on my back from his pen made me want to do two things. One being take his pen and throw it to some birds so they could carry it off to some distant country where he would never find it. The other option was to just turn around. I decided to go with the latter since said alien boy could fry me into pork chops. I turned around, watching my dark hair flip behind me as I faced him. His electric green eyes met with my pale gray ones. His raven black hair was more than a few shades darker than mine, and his bangs were covering part of his breathtaking eyes. My breath hitched when I looked deep into his eyes. He really was gorgeous. A slow, sly smirk spread across his face. "Hey Kitten." He said, drawing out his voice. Other girls in the class were probably drooling when watching us every morning. I rolled my eyes, pretending that I wasn't affected by his 'charms'. "Hi Daemon." I said. Daemon didn't do anything but look at me after I said hi. The silence made me uncomfortable, but I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of knowing that. His ego would go higher, if that was even possible. So instead of doing anything, I just stared right back at him, until the air around us practically stopped circulating due to the tension growing. Everyone in the room was watching us. Again. I swear, we're their only entertainment in this class. Finally, I gave in and looked away, causing a grin to spread across Daemon's face. I scoffed at his winning expression. "What do you want Daemon?" I asked, not wanting to turn around without knowing why I was poked in the back by his despicable pen. Only heaven could know what he wants. Then again, not sure if heaven wants to know in the first place. "I was going to ask if you wanted to come over after school." He kept his gaze on me as I tried to come up with an excuse to not go over there. If I did go over there, I feel as though the whole time I'd just be thinking about kissing Daemon's lips. His soft, warm lips..."Well, Kat?" He asked, waiting for my answer with lazy eyes that still sent shivers down my spine. My mind raced. Dang it. I've got nothing going on. I need a life outside of the aliens. I sighed. "Why on earth would I come over to your house after school?" I asked. "Because you think I'm attractive and would never turn down an invitation to spend time with me. In fact, you probably look forward to when you get to see me next." He said casually while twirling the pen in his fingers, keeping my gaze. I could feel my face redden in front of the class. I shook my head slowly, when I finally remembered what I had to do after school. Praise the heavens. Being too close to Daemon is like sitting in front of a mountain of chocolate, but not being allowed to eat or touch it. Too much temptation. I'd most likely end up kissing him. Again. I sighed in thanks that I had an excuse not to go. I smiled evilly. "I can't go. I have to go to dinner with my mom tonight, so...no." I said, laughing hard on the inside when I saw his face fall a little. He quickly regained his composure though, which sent a rush of disappointment through me. Darn. "Tomorrow then?" He asked. I frowned, making him smile. There is no winning with him. I didn't have anything going on tomorrow. I let out an over exaggerated sigh. "Sure. I can go tomorrow." I said, watching his eyes light up and turn to liquid fire. The butterflies in my stomach almost burst through my chest. "Good." Daemon said as the teacher walked in. Daemon smirked and leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms, obviously pleased with himself. What the fudge had I gotten myself into? I turned back around to face the teacher (another alien) but pretty much zoned out through the whole class, thinking about what Daemon really wanted tomorrow. I stopped my thoughts soon. I don't think I want to know what he wants. - When the bell finally rang to let the students out, I ran out of class, clutching my bag close to me as I darted between people in the crowded halls. Everyone else seemed to be going the opposite way as me as I ran to the exit doors in the front of the school. When I finally broke through the current of exhausted students, I sprinted to the doors, wanting to avoid Daemon. I like him so much, it's not even funny. I breathed out a sigh of relief when I finally got outside. There were rain clouds lining up together in the sky. I looked to my left and right outside. No sign of Daemon. Yet. I straightened my dark blue shirt and pulled up my jeans before deciding to run the rest of the way to the car just to be safe. Thankfully, I made it to my car without coming across Daemon. Ever since we had each admitted our feelings for each other after we destroyed that Arum, we've been acting more civil towards one another. I say that meaning that every moment we're together, I want to kiss him senseless. Of course though, reason keeps me grounded. Hallelujah. I don't know what exactly happened after Daemon healed me in that field, but it had brought us closer together. I could tell he felt the same way, but it's just...complicated. Too complicated. I started my car up and began backing up from the parking spot. I was about to drive off, when a furious pounding on my passenger side window made me stop suddenly, screaming out. I looked over and saw Dee. Daemon's sister and my best friend. Puts the song "It's a Small World After All" to a different meaning. I was still hyperventilating when I rolled the window down. Dee's beautiful black hair flew in the wind as she leaned down into my window. "Hey Katy. Sorry for scaring you, but..um would you mind giving me a ride?" She asked shyly. I sighed for practically the billionth time that day and unlocked the door, letting her come in. She moved over into the seat and got comfy before shutting the door behind her. When I heard the click of her seat belt, I began to drive. I turned out of the school parking lot and onto the main road home. "So, why couldn't Daemon give you a ride home?" I asked, upset that he would just leave his sister. He loved his sister, so this was pretty out of character for him. Dee leaned up against the window and looked out at the quick moving scenery. "He had to go patrolling for more Arum with Andrew. He said it was pretty important." She looked over at me. "I tried to catch up to you sooner, but you were racing out of school way too fast, and I don't think using my super speed would really go over well with the other students." Ah. Yes. Dee's an alien too. So are Andrew, Adam, and Ashley. Not only but that, but they have awesome powers like super speed, strength, shape shifting, and lighting up practically brighter than the sun. As if Dee's beauty wasn't enough to make me jealous. I was the defenseless human. Go me. "Oh. I'm really sorry Dee." I said. "I was just..um..."

"Trying to get away before Daemon caught up with you and you guys smooched each other's brains out?" Dee tried to finish. I actually swerved off of the road for a second. "Whoa. Dee, it's not like that at all." I said, desperately trying to reach out for any information that could prove her wrong. She actually wasn't off the mark at all, but that didn't mean I had to admit it. I have some pride. "Yes it is Katy. I see the way you guys look at each other. Don't try to lie to me. I'm not blind." She said, crossing her arms.

"I...um. No. That's not what is happening here." I said.

"Are you attracted to Daemon?" She asked.

"Well, yeah, but..I mean-"

"Then you like him and he likes you. Simple. Stop making things much more complicated than they really are. End of discussion. Anyway, when can you come over?" She asked, changing the subject. I didn't want to be done talking about it, but arguing wasn't going to get me anywhere."I'm coming over tomorrow." I said, keeping my eyes on the road as I saw our houses approach. Dee clapped her hands once and smiled her perfect smile. "Great! There's something that I wanted to tell you, but it's going to wait until tomorrow." She said enthusiastically. I chuckled. She was easily pleased. When I pulled into my driveway, I checked over at Dee's house. No car, so Daemon wasn't done patrolling yet. Of course, neither was my mom, so that left us alone. I got out of the car and walked to my front door. "Thanks for the ride Katy! See you tomorrow!" Dee called over her shoulder as she sped off to her house. I smiled and took out my house key, turning it in the keyhole, and pushing the door open. When I got in, I dropped my backpack on the couch and walked over to the kitchen. I froze when I heard thunder crash. I ran over to the window, and sure enough, it started raining. I groaned. There was always something wacky going on with the weather here. Grabbing an apple, I took a bite as I sat down on the couch by my backpack. I reached out to the small table in front of the couch and pulled one of the books I was reading for my blog off of it. Books were everywhere around here thanks to me. I was about halfway done with the book when a knock on my front door made me fall off of the couch. I stumbled over to the door. By the hard pounding sound coming from outside, I could tell it was still raining hard. I threw the door open to see a soaking Daemon on my porch. He looked up at me through his wet bangs and pierced me with his green gaze. He looked angry and...worried?

"Katy. We have a serious problem."
