Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but considering only one person reviewed my last chapter ((thank you luvsbooks412)) can you really blame me? Anyway, with school starting next month I'll need something to do instead of homework so I'll probably update a lot faster. But only if people review. Even if you don't like the story, or if you don't understand something, PLEASE TELL ME! I need to know. Okay, I'll stop talking ((typing?)) and let you read. Enjoy! :)
**Sorry for any spelling/grammar/flow-less sentences, I didn't have anyone to edit it after i did**

As soon as I walked into English class I knew something was wrong. Everyone was excited, which meant that one of the new kids was going to be in this class. The girl in front of me was practically jumping out of her seat. I was curious so I tuned into her thoughts.
'I can't believe Seth is going to be in this class! He is so cute! I wonder where he'll sit…' She turned in every direction looking for an empty seat. Her eyes finally spotted the only empty seat in class, the one right next to mine. She stared at me as she thought: 'Ew! I can't believe he has to sit next to the Goth freak.' I looked up and she turned around so fast she nearly fell out of her chair.
I laughed, even though I hated being called goth. It's not that I find it offensive; I could care less what they thought of me. I just hated being judged by people that knew nothing about me. Besides, I may be a freak, but so are the new kids, and they're a lot more likely to kill her than I am. Maybe.
I took out my notebook and started drawing. Lately, my dreams had been freaky and somewhat confusing. I closed my eyes and let my hand run across the page, but I knew what I would see when I opened them. The same thing I had drawn everyday this week. The main star in my current dreams and my biggest mystery. A huge sand colored wolf.
Usually, I would see an event in the future when I dreamt, but I couldn't figure out what the wolf meant. So far I had about 8 drawings of the same stupid wolf in my folder, and it was really starting to piss me off. I really needed to draw something else, but I couldn't. I was just fixing one of the ears on my wolf when the door opened. The room fell silent and our teacher, Mr. Connor, spoke.
"You must be Seth Clearwater. Please, come in. You can have a seat in the back next to Alix. She's the one with her hood on and her head down." I always found his annoyance with my lack of interest amusing. I smiled to myself.
I was expecting my hands to get hot, the same way they do whenever I'm near a vampire, but instead they started getting cold. With each step he took towards me my hands got a few degrees cooler. By the time he sat down next to me they were numb. He turned towards me in his seat.
"Hey, "he said. "I'm Seth."
I kept my head down but I could see his hand was out stretched. 'Who the hell does this guy think he is?' I lifted my head and glared at him. As soon as our eyes met, his expression changed. The smile left his face and was replaced with an awestruck look. He just stared at me. My hands got cooler, if that's even possible. I could feel my eyes start to change color, so I knew it was time to leave.
Furious, I stood up and walked towards the door, grabbing the pass and muttering "bathroom" on the way out. As soon as I got away from him my hands started to warm up. While I was walking down the hall, I could see that Jay was already coming to find me, so I went to our usual meeting place. He was already sitting on the bottom step by the time I got there.
"What the hell happened?" He sounded mad, but I could tell he was just concerned. "I was listening to Mr. Carr drone on and on about balancing chemical equations when you stormed out.
I rubbed my hands together. "I don't know,' I replied. "But when he was near me my hands got really cold, and then he stared at me, and I could feel my eyes change-." Suddenly he grabbed me by the shoulders and looked at my eyes.
"What the…" Was all he said.
"What? What color are they?" I was nervous; he hadn't been surprised by my eye color in years.
"They're…" he started.
"They're what?" I demanded.
"They're purple!"

Neither Jay nor I could ever remember my eyes ever being purple before, so to say we were a little freaked would be an understatement. But, nonetheless we decided it would be best if I returned to class and act like nothing was wrong. So I did. I went back to class, sat in my seat, and acted like nothing had ever happened.
I could tell that Seth was watching me out of the corner of his eye, but he knew enough not to talk to me. I tried to listen to the lesson but I couldn't help but listen to his thoughts. For some reason I couldn't make out actual words, but I could tell he was happy, excited even. It seemed like something had happened that he had been waiting for, something relating to me.
When the bell rang, I gathered my stuff up quickly. I was anxious to leave, but I tried not to look it. Finally, I made it out of the room and started towards Jay's Chemistry class. His teacher always let them out late so I usually headed there first and we walked to lunch together.
As I was walking, I flipped through the different drawings of my wolf. Suddenly, I walked into something hard and my hands heated up. My folder fell from my hand and all my sand-colored wolves slid in different directions across the floor. I was about to pick up the last picture when a pale white hand beat me to it. I looked up to see one of the new kids -Emmet I think- staring down at the picture. He had a confused look on his face then something clicked. He thought of the wolf, only it wasn't my drawing, it was the real wolf. Then he thought of Seth. I yanked the drawing out of his hands and he looked up. He looked at me then thought "Why does she have a drawing of…" Then he remembered another vamp saying that I could probably read minds, so he quickly changed his thoughts to lunch and walked away.
Jay was in my head now. 'Hey, does that mean that Seth is…' His train of thought dropped off in confusion.
'I'm not sure,' I replied. 'Meet me at the lunch table.'
'Kay.' Was all he replied. I could tell he was worried, and I didn't blame him, but I knew everything would work out. I hope.
I walked out the back door and started towards the front of the school, and Jay, were. I rounded the corner of the building only to see one of the vamps and the other tan guy. Once they saw me they began walking closer. I turned on my heel, and began walking back the way I had come, only to find the other two male leeches blocking my path.
The skinny dark haired one, Edward, raised his hands. "Easy," he said in a calm voice. "We don't want any trouble, we just want to talk." I looked behind me again, and saw that the four guys had formed a circle around me, killing any chance of escaping easily.
My teeth were clenched as I spoke. "If you don't want any trouble, then why are there so many of you?"
"We don't want to hurt you," Edward said. "We just want some answers."
I glanced over my shoulder again. "Look, you're the mind reader right?" He nodded. "So, you probably already know that cornering me was a mistake. You probably also know how easy it would be for me to kill you. Am I right?" Another nod, this time more stiff. "And you," I said turning to the blond one, Jasper. "You're the feelings one, so you can probably tell I'm pissed, which, again, is not a good thing." I could see Jay making his way over here, but I told him to stay back. "So, with that covered, I'll answer your questions, but then you have to answer some of mine."
The dark skinned one, Jacob, started. "Why do you have drawings of Seth in wolf form?"
I stared at him, watching his slightly shaking figure for any threats, and then answered. "I didn't know they were of Seth. I've been seeing a sandy-colored wolf in my dreams, so that's what I drew."
He looked confused. "You can see the future in your dreams?"
I sighed. "I see the future, past, present, everything. Whatever I dream about, I draw. It makes it easier to sort through later." I paused. "Now I have one. Why did Seth stare at me the way he did?"
They all smiled, and then Jacob spoke. "Seth will have to answer that one, not us." The circle started to break up, and soon they were standing side by side.
"Wait," my voice was a little louder now. "I have one more thing to say." They turned back around and waited for me to speak. I looked at each of them before speaking. The words came out slow. " If you tell the Volturi that my brother and I are here," their eyes narrowed the slightest bit at the mention of the ancient vampire rulers, but I continued. "I will kill you." I turned and started to walk away. My voice was low but I knew they could hear me. "And that's a promise." I didn't have to look back to see that they knew I wasn't' kidding.
