Then an angel standing near the teacher, probably discussing the rules broke into my little world. Mr. Finn could be kind of anal about rules. I had just entered the music room where I had madrigal. I prided myself on being a good singer and also a bit of an artist. I should have realized that she would be here. With good looks and gracefulness, a musical voice just made her even more perfect. The girl finished up speaking with the teacher and looked around the room finally catching my eye and beginning to smile. My face became instantly a little rosy because she had caught me staring. When that happened her smile became much wider and she started towards me, across the room.
Cara POV
That ancient old man was finally done babbling on and on about the rules of his "very structured classroom environment". Gag me. I really couldn't stand that man and I'd only been in the room for 5 minutes. Now I was free to watch the students in the room. Some of them were familiar because of that party I'd "attended". I wonder if that boy who'd seen me was here. Oh, there he is- and he's staring at me! I wonder why he could see me that night; I mean no human should be able to see me when I'm using my power. Well, I should at least go say hi; he seems to really want me to.
Marcus POV
She was getting closer to me and I don't think I was breathing. My palms were sweaty and my head was pounding. What the hell is wrong with me? I thought to myself. I've been around girls before and I have no trouble talking to them. What made her so different?
"Hello. I'm new here. My name is Caroline, but I really prefer Cara." Cara, Cara, it was perfect, my mouth smiled when I said it.
"I hope you like it here so far, Cara. My name is Marcus, but my friends call me Mark. Was that your Mercedes in the parking lot?" I bet it was. This girl has everything plus money!
"Oh yea", she said in an off hand kind of way. " My Dad gave it to me as a present for the move and everything."
"Oh, that's awesome, I wish my mom would do something like that for me. Hey Cara, were you at a party a week ago? I'd swear I saw you there but my friend Jake said he didn't see you."
CPOV:
He did see me! That's not possible! When I'm using my powers I'm invisible to the human eye and he is definitely human. Right? Oh no, this could cause some problems. Should I tell him that I was there or tell him hat he was mistaken. I was only there to see what the people at this school were like. Yea I guess that sounds good, I mean its not like I was looking for dinner there. I think I should leave out the part where I was looking for other vampires.
" Yea I was there but my Dad wanted me to get home so I was kind of irritated. I wanted to see what the people I was going to be go to school with were like." Was it just me or did his expression lift when he heard that I was mad at my dad? He must have thought I was mad at him for some reason. I mean I was but because he could see me, not because he did something wrong.
"Yea you did seem kind of mad, but only saw you for a second or two. I could've sworn you were glaring straight at me." Did his eyes just grow a shade darker? The idea that I was mad at him really upset him. Omg his eyes! They're beautiful. They're the color of--of, no! He's a human and like father always says "You stay away from those humans Caroline Rose. They're meant for food and since we don't eat them they're no use to us at all. Just stay away." He always had to ruin all the fun. I liked hanging out with humans; they were interesting and fun, and plus, I never really felt thirst for them. They had never entered my mind as a food source. I actually had human friends at my last school and even thought I had to keep a safe distance from them, we still had fun. To me they were fascinating. Well, Dad wouldn't want me talking to a human guy anyway. He wants me to "find a nice vampire boy, my age, and settle down". Settle down? With some random vampire for all of eternity? I've had enough of vampires. Besides, I had never met one the same age as me, 16.
MPOV:
She seems so guarded. And it definitely looks like she's hiding something behind those golden suns. Cara isn't going to give anything away, that's for sure. I need to find a way to break down her walls, to-.
"Hey, Mark are you there? Hello? Oh good! I thought I'd lost you! You must have been thinking about something really important. Oh my goodness, is it okay if I call you Mark? You said only your friends call you that."
"Yea, its more than okay, anyway, I think we're going to be pretty good friends, Cara. Hey, listen class is starting, but uh, you wouldn't mind sitting with me at lunch would you? I mean since you're new and everything." Please say yes! Ha wait till Jake sees! I want to see the look on his face when we walk in together. If we walk in together.
CPOV-
"Well, actually I don't know. How about you wait until lunch and we'll see then, okay?" Haha messing with human boys is fun. I'll sit with him, maybe, but he has to squirm a little bit first. We're going to be pretty good friends? More than half the boys in this school want to be my " friend". --CPOV
"Okay. Until lunch then. Bye." She might actually sit with me! That is fucking awesome! Haha I might actually have a chance with her. That angel, although she doesn't seem as sweet as she looks.
"Ok students, let's stop all of this chitter-chatter at once! And I'd also like to introduce a student who is new to our gathered voices, Caroline Miller."
---
Thank God its lunchtime! I am so starved! And maybe Cara will sit with me. Jake would probably fall out of his chair staring and those groupies of his might be pissed- they don't really seem to like her. They're probably just jealous. Hmm, maybe I don't want her around Jake. He's just so, so, uh I don't even know what he is, but I don't want him getting around her! She seems to actually enjoy talking to me, at least a little bit and don't want to ruin that by having her meet my best friend/partner in a lot of crime. What would she think if she knew about all the shit him and me get into? Maybe- well, never mind, here she is.
"Hey Mark, listen. I'm going to go sit with these girls for a while but maybe I'll come sit with you later. Okay?" Ok, she's not going to sit with me. At least she won't be around Jake.
"Okay, I guess that's cool. I'll see you later." And here I go, the walk of shame to my table, without the girl. I'll never hear the end of this from the guys.
"Yo man, what happened with the new girl? Haha I bet she just blew you off!" That comment came from Steven West, whose goal in life seemed to be to piss me off. And he was doing a very good job.
"Just shove it up your ass Steve, no one wants to hear your bullshit."
"Hey calm down man", said Jake in a highly amused tone. "Steve's just suffering from asshole syndrome. Its kicks in every once in a while."
"Yea man, I'm sorry. I was just-" Steve was cut off by a deafening crash coming from the cafeteria doors. They were the doors to the outside where people used to be able to eat their lunch in peace. Now a tall, pale guy, about 17 or 18 years old was bursting through them, scattering tables like they were flies. He had golden hair and a smile on his light lips that never even reached his eyes. And his eyes were red, a deep burgundy, like I'd never seen before. I hoped I'd never see it again.

AN: I was sitting here in front of my computer, painting my nails in pink and black stripes, when suddenly I realized I needed some action in my story. So, I had some guy blast into the cafeteria. So now REVIEW! And then I'll finsh up chapter four and you'll find out all about Mr. Red-Eyes.
