The rest of the day was better then the beginning. I met a girl named Lily and we talked for a while during Spanish. Señorita Martinez was ignoring us, not really taking notice that we weren't paying attention.

Lily was from Florida, so the colder weather was a little more difficult for her. She was 16 years old, 5'5 with long black hair, brown eyes, and tan skin, southern accent pure.

"Where are you from again?" she questioned, and I smiled brightly.

"I'm from Washington, Forks to be precise."

"Where's Forks?"

"Washington…"

She laughed. "No, I meant like is it close to any big cities?"

"Yeah, it's near Olympia, sorta. Also Port Angeles and not too far from Seattle."

"Oh…? I guess that's…interesting?" She moved her attention from me to around the room. I just looked up.

Of course the stupid leech had to be staring at me. His eyes bore into mine, so intense, that I couldn't help but look away. It made me feel weird…what the fucking hell?

"…any boys capture your attention yet?" Lily asked, bringing me back from my quiet daydream. I looked up at her with a questing gaze. She just smiled gently. "Boys you like? Are there any?"

"Ugh, no," I lied, shaking my head. "They all seem pretty fucking crazy if you ask me."
"What about the Collins?" She turned back to swiftly look at the vampires. "They're different…different is good."
I just growled. "No thank you. I'd rather die then like a para…Collin." I paused. "Wait Collins? Like Collinsmount?"

"Yep. The town was named after their supposed half great-great grandfather." She shrugged. "I don't really understand it, but apparently that's what."

The bell rang and I saw the two leeches quickly leave the room in a vampire's usual uncomfortable fashion. The brunette one looked at me as he left, until I glared, then he looked away. The dirty blonde one smiled at me, but the brunette pulled her away fast.

"Damn, they don't have to be so rude," I muttered to myself and stood up. Lily followed my lead and we went down to the cafeteria.

It was warm there, the scent of old meat scorched my nose, and I felt it cringe in disgust. People were laughing around the room, others were sitting lonely, but most were smiling and eating, not caring who noticed.

I saw the damn Collins eating a table by the windows. The one girl who didn't seem to like me just glared at me until I sat down, and then looked away.

There were four others at our table: a black haired, dark skinned girl named Nicole who I had Creative Writing with, a really light skinned blonde boy named David who I had gym with, a dark skinned, dark haired boy named Vince who had no classes with me, and a light brunette girl with tan skin named Meghan who I had Math and Biology with. They seemed nice enough, but the girl Meghan was eying the Collins with a weird hunger in her eyes.

"Meghan, right?" I asked her, and she looked over at me, smiling.

"Yes, it's Meghan, but everyone calls me Meg. What do ya need, Annette?"

"Oh, call me Anne," I said, returning her smile. "Can you tell me who they are?" I nodded slightly at the Collins and she looked at them out of the corner of her eye.

"Ok, so you see the big bulky one?" I nodded. "That's Tyler. He's with the little blonde girl. Her name is Emily. Oh, and the thin black haired boy? That one is Oliver. The girl that he's holding hands with is his girlfriend, Scarlet," she explained.

"What about the brunette boy?" I ask, looking over at him. He was staring at me, so I looked away.

"Oh, don't even waste your time," she said with a snort.

"Don't plan on it," I retorted. "I just wanna know who they are."

"Ok. Well the brunette is Chance. He's the single one. I'm guessing he likes staying that way because he never asks girls out, and he always says no when they ask him." I saw her lips purse, so I'm guessing she was one of those girls who he said no to.

"Thanks," I said quietly. David looked over at me and nudged my arm.

"You ok? You look like you're gonna be sick."

"No, I'm fine. But thanks," I say with a genuine smile. David smiled back at me and Nicole cleared her throat.

"How sweet are you two," she said sarcastically, "but really. Annette. Anne. Whoever you are, I want details."

"Details…? On what?"

"Oh here we go again," Oliver said, handing me a bottle of lemonade. "I'd take a few gulps. When Nicole asks questions, she's doing 20 questions times 10."

"You're an idiot," Lily said with a laugh. He smiled at her and she blushed and looked away.

"Oh, don't mind them," David said with a smile. "They're just the unannounced couple."

"No!" Nicole whined. "I put Lily with you, David! And Oliver with Meghan." Everyone gave her a weird look and she shrugged. "Hey, I'm the master matchmaker."

"Yeah, that's why you're still single," Meghan said and we laughed Nicole stuck her tongue out at her.

"Shut up, Meg." Nicole elbowed her and Meghan just smiled.

"Hey," Lily whispered to me. "You got a little stalker." I looked at her in confusion, and she nodded at the damn brunette parasite who I felt sudden hatred toward. He was staring at me through those golden eyes, and I just glared at him through my blue. He got up and walked over to me.

"Can we talk?" he hissed at me, and I felt the whole table go silent. I stood up, a few inches shorter then him, and crossed my arms.

"Fine." He nodded and grabbed my arm, dragging me outside. I growled at him until he let me go.

"What do you want?!"

He pushed me against the wall and put his hand by my head. "Listen up wolf. You may not like me, and to be frank I can't STAND your presence, but something has to happen. Either we make nice or kill each other."

"Can I make the first blow?" I growled and he narrowed his eyes.

"I'm just warning you. Your new little friends have a few secrets of their own. I'd suggest moving, dog." And with that, he left. I felt my fists clench and I groaned in exasperation. Why did this have to happen to me?
