Our Secrets

A/N: Sorry this is late! Too much has been going on lately :) Thanks to all the reviews, story alerts, story favorites and even author favorites! You guys made my week! I'm glad to hear you guys liked this! Though I promise this WILL NOT be Twilight 2! It got inspired by it. I wanted to see if I could write better :) Also I have a feeling that this chapter is extremely OC and pretty much nothing happens... read it please?

~Chapter 2~

I flopped down onto my bed in frustration. I buried my face into one of my pillows. I hadn't been able to focus on anything other than him. He's been in my mind the whole day. This whole thinking-about-him thing is really starting to get unhealthy. I mean I failed every single thing we had in school today because of him. Thankfully I didn't have any more classes with him. I would've stared at him the whole time if I did. I groaned in exasperation and turned over to stare at the ceiling. This is waaay too much for me right now. I leaped up off my bed.

"You will do your homework properly without thinking about him!" I said to myself, trying to cheer myself on.

I set out all my things on my desk and started on the heap of homework I had. For a while I managed to focus on it. My thoughts wandered and I found myself thinking about him again. I looked down at my notebook and saw that I had drawn hearts with "Len" in it all over the page.

"Argghh! What is wrong with me?" I wailed. I covered my face with my hands.

"Everything is wrong with you, sister dear." I heard my brother's voice sneer at me.

"GET OUTTA MY ROOM NERO!" I shouted at him. I grabbed one of my pillows and threw it at him. Unfortunately he caught it in his hands and threw it back at me.

"You have your period or something?" He laughed.

"GET THE **** OUT OF HERE!" I lunged at him. I pushed him out the door.

"AND STAY OUT!" I yelled before slamming the door shut. I turned around and sagged to the floor. I made a mental note to always lock my door.

I guess it's no use trying not to think about him. He's too damn perfect! Grrrr. Self-control Neru! SELF-CONTROL. All of this is seriously pissing me off right now. I need to calm down and get some sleep.

And with that idea I went to my bathroom to take a bath. I slipped off my clothes and stepped into the shower. I turned the knob and hot water came out of the shower head. I let the water wash away all that I was thinking about and calm myself down. Taking a hot shower always hit the spot. I quickly finished up in the shower and dried myself with the bath towel. I wrapped it around my torso and examined myself in the mirror. My fingers roved across my face.

Compared to him I look like an ogre or something.

I sighed and ran my fingers through my long hair. I concentrated on getting all the tangles out of my hair. I wondered what it would feel like if Len was the one who was caressing my hair. I closed my eyes and pictured it in my mind. In spite of myself, a happy smile crept into my face. I frowned at myself in the mirror and humph-ed. I changed into my night clothes and walked over to my bed. I lay down on my side and closed my eyes. I slowly drifted off to sleep.

But what she didn't see was a dark shadow outside her window, watching her every move. She didn't see the bright glint of blood-red eyes that stared hungrily at her. If she had looked out the window, she would've seen a certain person crouched outside her window. She would've seen the monster-like hunger in his eyes. Soon the shadow disappeared. Seemingly into thin air.

BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNGGGGG!

The annoying alarm clock rang in my ears, breaking into my dreamless sleep.

"Mhmmm.. Shut upppp..." I groaned.

BRIIING!

I reached up and grabbed the alarm clock from the bedside table. I felt around the back a little bit until I found the snooze button. I pressed it and dropped the clock on the floor. I sat up groggily. I rubbed my eyes sleepily. I yawned and stretched my arms above my head. Last night I got this strange feeling that someone was watching me... weird. I should lay off the horror movies I've been watching. I leapt up off my bed. I was uncharacteristically hyper today. God knows for what reason that is. Soon i had my clothes on and I was standing in front of my full-length mirror. I ran a brush through my long hair, trying to get all the tangles out. I pulled my hair into its usual side ponytail. I went over to pick up my alarm clock. The glass reflected my face and I stared at my reflection a little. I seemed a little different somehow. A little happier maybe? I tried smiling a little. It came out looking more like a grimace. I frowned and threw the alarm clock into the drawer.

"So much for trying to look pretty." I humphed.

I got my backpack and ran down into the kitchen. I grabbed some bread and bacon-flavored sandwich spread. I quickly spread the sandwich spread on two pieces of bread. I pushed them together and put the sandwich into a sandwich plastic bag. I grabbed a small milk carton from the refrigerator. I put the sandwich spread back and I ran out the door. I ran down the street and slowed down when I got to the corner. I opened the plastic bag and started eating my sandwich.

Mmmm… bacon…

I jabbed the straw into the milk carton and sipped the cold milk. Again the weather is sort of cloudy like it always is. I looked around at the suburban houses that I always see. The morning was normal until I heard a high-pitched yell.

"LEEEENNN! WAIT FOR MEEEEEE!"

I heard a loud thump and a yell from behind me. I turned around, my sandwich still in my mouth. I saw a blonde had tackled (glomped maybe?) another blonde and had fallen over.

"Rin gerrof me!" the second blonde said.

My eyes widened as I realized who it was. The other blonde laughed and stood up. She looked exactly the same as Len but a little more feminine. She wasn't much in the bust area but her natural beauty completely made up for it.

Len also stood up. I couldn't help smiling inwardly. His hair was a mess and some dirt on his face. He turned to other blonde (Rin I think?) and pinched her cheek.

"That's for glomping me to the floor." He laughed.

Rin batted away his hand and laughed. Their bell-like laughter rang in my ears. Their laughter was really contagious. I wanted to laugh too but I held it in. I felt a pang as I realized that Nero and I never really bonded as brother and sister.

"Hey I actually exist ya know?" I remarked. I crossed my arms and frowned at them.

"Sorry Neru." Len said to me. He had the blindingly white smile on.

"When did I ever tell you it's okay to call me Neru?" I said.

"You just did. Neru." He laughed.

It surprised me when I saw the expression on Rin's face. She was looking at Len angrily and often she would glance at me weirdly.

"You're gonna be late." I said. I walked away from the two.

It's worrying how I yearned to see him smile and hear his laugh again. I deny it to myself but I know that deep down I actually like him. I shook those disturbing thoughts from my head and gulped down the rest of my breakfast. I dropped the plastic bag and the carton in the trash bin at the school gates and headed for my locker. I spun the dial on my lock. (34 then 4 theeeeen 10) I grabbed all the things I needed.

"Did you hear about the ghost story? You know, about the teenage girls suddenly disappearing in the dead of night?"

"Yeah I heard! It's really scary you know?"

"Some say it's the work of a vampire!"

Yeah riiight. Like vampires actually exist.

I slammed my locker hard and stalked over to my homeroom classroom. A small girl stepped in front of me.

"Hey, do you know where the-"

"I'm busy. Now go away." I growled. She yelped and ran away like a scaredy-cat. I have to keep my reputation around here, you know. Eventually I arrived at the classroom and went over to my desk.

"Hey the freak just came in."

"We're probably contaminated by now."

Well if my freakiness keeps everyone away, I have no problem with it.

I glared at them and they immediately shut up. I sighed deeply.

This is gonna be another loooong day.

I really do think this chapter failed... I lose motivation quite easily when I'm doing something... Help me out? (I feel like I'm asking too much of you guys ;^; TT_TT
