Forbidden Love
Chapter 2 – What's his name?
I didn't know his name; I didn't know who he was. A kind stranger with a strange connection to me, like a switch that went off inside me, that made me feel, different. And that wasn't good; I can never get close to anyone, not even a human being because of who I am. It was wrong, unfair, forbidden. Wiping that muck off my face and getting clean was harder than I expected. I lay n my bed whilst brushing through my long, dark wet hair. I thought of him. Actually, that's all I've been thinking about since it happened. His lush brown, honey colored hair which naturally swopped to the side bringing out his bold blue eyes. Oh, heaven – wait no, what am I doing? I can't fall for him; I have to forget about this boy! To take my mind off him I decided to catch up on some vampire studies! There was a gentle knock on the door…
"Hey sweetie, how was your first day?" my mother asked, through the gap in the door,
" You have to ask?" I said back, exaggerating on the 'have' to imply something was up and that I wanted the motherly tlc. Mom saw me brushing through my damp hair and immediately rushed towards me and took over,
"What's happened sweetie? You know you can tell me anything." She was right. I can tell her anything, but I don't know if I could tell her this, but I would take a chance.
"Well, everything was fine until someone through custard in my face and it was so embarrassing then this boy bumped into me and helped me up and seemed really concerned bu-" I was cut off by my mother's loud shriek and I suddenly wished I'd kept quiet,
"A boy! What boy?! Scarlett you know what could happen! Don't you listen to anything ive been telling you!?"
"Yes mom I have and don't worry I blew him off, it's not like a guy like him would look twice at me anyway." I mumbled in reply,
"Sweetie, you're a beautiful young girl, you have no idea-"
"Mom I'm half monster! Who can't even make friends far less get a boyfriend, so don't tell my I'm beautiful when I know I'm not cos I'm a fricken monster!" I yelled, sick of all the pretending that's been going on, I pulled myself from her grip and turned onto my side facing the wall on the bed hinting to mom that she should leave…
It was a bright and sunny the next day, and I certainly was not looking forward to going to school after yesterday's fiasco. Before I left for school, I peered at myself in the mirror,
"Ugh I look like snow white gone wrong." I grumbled as I applied some foundation and eyeliner, "Right now time for school" I told myself and as if by magic and soon as I opened my bedroom door I was outside the school.
"Whoa! What the heck just happened?" I said in a puzzled voice.' You ran sweetie, your vamp speed has taken place and kicked into your body, have fun Scar' spoke my mom through our genetic telepathy, ' That was so cool, thanks mom' I thought back .being careful and aware of my surroundings around humans I slowly ambled into school with a proud smirk on my face, acting like nothing had happened. I found my new locker more quickly than I'd presumed and within a matter of seconds my books for lunch were already stacked neatly into my locker.
"There he is, there's James Taylor" said a girl next to me; I followed her hypnotic gaze to see him. My heart pounding and my eyes as big as footballs, I stared, my eyes glued to his Greek god appearance! He strutted past me with two tall boys by his sides, waving to all the girls. All of a sudden, I saw him turn around and I bowed my head trying to hide my face with my hair
"Hey Stalker" he said. I looked up and both our eyes met, just like yesterday. A struck of lightening went through me and I think he felt it too. I don't know what was happening but I noticed that everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. I scanned the hall slowly, to see everyone was staring at us in shocked horror. I then snapped back into reality, I looked at James coldly and apologetically and sped off through the crowd.
