whipping blood of her hands. "Really Sam, look what you done!"Daren said tending to the girl. "Relax I might of cut deep but not deep enough to let her die quickly. She'll need stitches but other than that she'll Be fine." Sam said picking the pour bully up and carting her to the nurse.
"How did you mange to cut her that deep." the nurse said. Sam shrugged. "I have to say usually I'm picking the broken bones this girl makes on other kids but you don't even have a scratch. "I don't break easy." Sam said.
All the sudden a strange gray haired lady came in yelling "Where is she?" The nurse pointed to me with her head down trying to not make eye contact with either of us. "Young lady your in so much trouble. You don't even know how much trouble your in!" the lady said. "Please if she would of beat me to a pulp. You probably just send her back to class. Plus I didn't start the fight I just end it." Sam said looking at the pour cut up girl. "She was a bully but I don't think she will ever pick on anyone again." The bully sat up it surprise Sam. She thought the girl was ko and wouldn't be getting up anytime. The girl with a shaken look said. " she's right. I did start the fight and I'm not seriously hurt. So drop it ok." blinked at the girl then said "Ok... I guess I can let it go but if this girl doesn't keep her hands to herself. Your both getting the worst punishment I can give." "Yes ma'am!" both the girls said. After that lovely morning the day went as normal. Sam was good at most the math. English wasn't hard till it came to spelling then she had problems. Health was as easy as kindergarten. Well as long as you paid attention it was set in stone. Reading not a hard thing. All you had to do is was read the story and answer multi choice questions. Darren didn't have it that easy. He couldn't read as good as Sam. The math was ten times what hers was. He didn't have any class he was good at or could use to an advantage. Then came English he was trying to figure out an excuse for why is grammar was as bad as a 6th grader's and he talked funny. The teacher was checking roll when he heard his name was called. This was the first time he even notice her. "Hi my name is ..." she said but couldn't believe her eyes. She had seen this boy before infact she dated him when they were younger! "D..Da...Darren Shan?" she couldn't figure out why this blast from the past had come back to her. Or why he only looked as if he was only a couple years older. "Yes? Oh uh sorry doesn't ring a bell." he said know that face he had left without saying good bye that he still loved. She was his first girl friend and she was all grown up. It sadden him to see her like that but he was glad that she was doing well and he got to see her one more time. "Mr." she looked down at the paper "Hourtson can I see you outside." "Yes ma'am." he said stepping out. At first they stood in silence. baffled at how this had happened. "Are ...Are you really you." she said "Are you the boy from years ago that left me without saying good bye?" "Don't you remember the tree?" he said. Her eye lost in momeroy and finally whispered "The tree you did say good bye." She looked in disbelief and then toke a piece of paper and wrote he address on it. "Here come to my house after school and you better show up. We hemlocks hold strong grudes!" she said winking. He smile and then heard the kids yelling and said "Umm Debbie?" "Oh dam! You better show up." she said turning and walking into the class room. He promised. The rest of the class. They tried not to make eye contact but proved to be useless. Everyone in awhile there eyes would meet and they would get held up in each other stare. Only to be interrupt by a student calling for . When they were walking back to the hotel. Sam notice a curtain face following them. "I think we have a tracker." Sam whispered. Darren looked back and saw the girl that Sam had beaten up earlier that day. "Do you think she wants another match?" he whispered back. "No. Her arm is stitched deeply. She won't be fighting any time soon." Sam said. "What should we do?" he said. Keep walking in and I'm going to split in the alley." she whispered. He nodded and walked on and as Sam turned the corner. She sat there invisable so no one could see her. When the bully came into view. The girl yelled "Hello? Hello?" When Sam was sure the girl wasn't looking. She turn visible and said "Looking for someone!" The girl spon around and said "Wh..where did you come from?" "The better question is why are you following me?" Sam said. The bully suddenly got serious and said "What are you?" "What in the hell are you talking about?" I said acting as confused as possible. "I saw your eyes glow bright green! What are you?" she yelled again. "Dude your insane. My eyes don't glow and your crazy." San said. The girl looked startled then with a smug look said "Then why are they glowing right now!" "Oh dam!" she said with a oh man Ive been caught tone. "What are you?" the girl repeated. "Human or at least half. Nothing more that you need to know about me." Sam said turning. "Ha I knew it! Just wait till I tell everyone!" the girl said. Sam turned to face the girl. "What do you think you going to say? You don't even know what I am or what I could do. For all you know I could kill you with a snap of my fingers." she said. The girl toke a step backwards and said "So what are you and can you kill me with a snap of your fingers." "No and why would I tell you what I am? Hmmm when your just going to expose me." she raise a eyebrow. She knew the girl wasn't planning to tell on her or she wouldn't of said that much. "I'm not going to tell anyone because I don't have any one to tell. I was hoping telling your secret would get me friends." the girl said. "How about this you don't tell on me and I'll be your friend. But first a name. So what is your name?" Sam said. "Beca short for Rebecca." she said. "Ok well my names Sam. Short for Samantha but unless you want me to throw a knife at you. Just call me, Sam." Sam said. Beca nodded shakily and said "Cool." "Oh yeah one more thing. Darren, my dad and uncle. Can't find out that you know." she said. "why?" Beca said. "Because things are better left for those three to finds out later." Sam said. Now that's go gets some coffee.
