A/N I meant to update this story sooner, but there has been a lot of drama going on, and I have to fix things, so sorry. At least it's here now!!! Hope you enjoy!! - Sam

Lab Partners, Accusations, and Pretend Friends

Because of that stupid new boy, I had to walk for what seemed forever just to get to my first class. Which I was late for, all because of him! I entered science, only to be lectured by .

"....and that is why, you should not have been late." he concluded. YAWN!!!

"Sorry, my usual parking space was taken. So, I had to find a different one, at the back of lot, and walk. It took a while. Sorry, won't happen again." I apologized. Yeah, next time I'll run over that fucker's car!!

"Right. Sit down at your lab, now, so I can begin class." he ordered. I went to sit down at my lab table, but I saw the new boy...sitting in my seat. So what did I do? I walked up to my lab, tapped the kid on his shoulder (yeah, I still don't know his name...), and cleared my throat.

"Let me guess, this is your seat?" he guessed, smirking.

I crossed my arms. "Yeah, it is. And to tell you the truth, this is getting kinda aggravating." I told him.

"Oh, I'm sorry." he said, smiling sympathetically. "You'll just have to get over it." he added, smirking again before he looked back at his textbook. I was completely shocked, that I didn't even notice Mr. Tanner come up to me.

"Sit down, Alyssa. Then get out your text book, and go to page 113." he ordered. I nodded, pulled the stool on the total opposite edge of this new boy, opened my textbook to the correct page, and zoned out.

It seemed like only a couple seconds when I heard the new boy talking to me again. "....so, when do you want to start the lab?" he asked, finishing whatever he was saying before.

"You can decide that." I suggested, because I had no clue what the hell he was talking about.

"Is today after school okay with you?" he asked, smiling a sickly sweet smile. Okay, he is so more on the vampire side. That smile proves my point. It's too perfect. Then again, I can't make assumptions. Wait a minute...a take home practice? After school?

Maybe I can make this work....somehow. "Okay." I replied.

He smiled, then the bell rang. "See you later, Gorgeous." he said, then he was out of the room.

"Don't call me gorgeous!" I called, knowing he wouldn't hear it...unless he was a vampire. Instead of wasting time trying to decide if he might or might not have heard what I said, I picked up my stuff and went to my next class. The rest of the day, he was in all of my classes. Except gym. Which was really weird, but honestly, I was glad. Gym is fun for me, I'm best at it. And I don't want him to know I could kick his ass, vampire or not, until I need to let him know. Because then I get the element of surprise. Which is the best element to use, in war...or battles. Anyways, each class went by surprisingly quick...but that would be because he wasn't sitting next to me in any of those classes, and the teachers were really boring. Well, except gym. But I already explained that.

I closed my locker door, and he was right there. I jumped up, startled. "Holy shit! Don't do that!" I exclaimed. I hate it when I get surprised. It makes me feel stupid for not seeing it coming.

"Sorry." he apologized, probably not meaning it. Most vampires are stupid liars. Maybe he isn't a vampire though. I mean, I haven't figured out quite yet....

"What's your name again?" I asked him.

He smirked. "Weren't you paying attention in class when assigned us together?" he accused. He said both of our names." he added. Damn.

"I forgot." I told him, lying of course. Considering I was zoning out....

He raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

"Yeah, I'm forgetful." I said. Another lie. I have a photographic memory, with film!

"My name is Demetri. Please don't forget again, Alyssa." he told me. Of course he knows my name.

"Sorry. I'm only human." I laughed. He awkwardly joined in, making me suspicious once again.

"Want to take the piece of shit van. Sorry. Parents are....weird." I told him. Wow. The first thing I've been truthful about in this whole conversation.

"That's alright. You can drop me off here after we are done, so I can pick up my car." he told me.

"Okay. Let's go." I said, then we walked towards my car without any more conversation. Just as I put the car in drive, my cell phone rang. So I put the car back in park, and answered it.

"What?" I answered.

"I need you to go grocery shopping for dinner tonight. We are having guests, remember?" Rhonda said.

"Okay. And yes I remember. Did you remember I'm having someone over after school?" I asked, in a bitchy mode.

"....oh yeah. Well bring her over." she said.

"It's not a her, Rhonda. As girly as he may act at times, and as childish as he can be, he is a guy." I said, smirking because I saw Demetri's jaw drop. Haha, I just insulted him and I don't even know him that well. Hehe.

"Whatever. Just be here with the groceries, and we can talk about our dinner guests and stuff." she ordered, then she hang up and I got the dial tone.

I put my phone in my pocket, put the phone in drive, and then started driving to the grocery store. "Change of plans. We are going to the grocery store. And tonight, instead of working on our project, you are going to be my pretend friend. I want to get out of that stupid dinner tonight, with Shane and his family." I told Demetri.

"Why should I help you? You basically just called me a girl!" he exclaimed, shocked.

"Aw, poor baby. What are you going to do, hit me with your purse?" I mocked.

"No. I'm just not going to help you with your plan! I hope you have a miserable night with this Shane guy!" he told me.

"Ugh. Fine, you aren't a girl. Very macho. Now please, help me out here! Just for tonight! Pretend to be my friend that was suppose to come over tonight to hang out!" I said, almost begging. But not quite, because I don't beg. Especially for possible vampires.

"Okay, okay. I will pretend to be your friend that was suppose to come over tonight, and help you get out of this dinner with the Shane guy. But I want something in return...." he trailed.

"And what's that?" I asked. "I'll give you whatever you want." I blurted, without thinking. That is going to bite me in the ass, isn't it?

".....I want your parking space. Permanently." he said. Hm?

"Are you serious?" I asked.

"Yes, I am. I like your parking spot. No one takes it because they think you are going to take it, and it's close, and I like it." he told me. Wow......that's great.....

"That's all?" I verified.

"Yeah, it is." he said, smiling innocently. Huh. No strings attached? Hmm....

I smiled, as I parked the car in the parking lot for the grocery store. I put the car in park, and shook his hand. "Deal." I said.

"But that means that I get to take you to school. Because I don't want you to be late to class everyday, that just wouldn't be fair. So, I'll pick you up every morning, and drop you off every day after school." he said, smiling wide. Of course!!! I knew it couldn't be that easy!!!!

He must of saw the look on my face, because he patted me on the back and said, "Cheer up. On the brighter side, you get to ride in a nicer car, and see my handsome face every morning." he said.

Oy. This is going to be a one hell of a night.
