Short story:

So I was talking to a my mom. (Yes. My mom) I told her about the story and she asked how I was planning to have all the soulmate couples meet and how they would like get together and all. I told her very briefly the story for all the couples and then the last story I told her was Delos and Maggie's story. So I go in complete detail with that story because, as you may be able to tell, they are my favuorite couple. She really liked my idea (seeing how its the one I probably thought of the most).

So then she asked me: "Who are you in the story?"

I was like: "What do you mean?"

She gave me a look and then said: "Well. Your going to put you name in the story right?"

So I said: "I never really thought about that"

She rolled her eyes and said: "Right"

So we were currently eating ice-cream. Even though its effin cold! But yeah anyways so then after a moment of silence I jump up in excitment.

So I tell her: "I know!" (I explain to her where i'm going to add myself in the story)

So she said (after I explained for like 10 minutes): "See I knew you would somehow have to talk to Delos"

So then I jumped around like an idiot (btw, we were in the middle of the parking lot and the people in the cars that were driving around us were looking at us as if we were creeps) and yelled: "It's cuz Delos is so !"[I mixed the words: Prince, Yougart, Cheese Cake, Oreol and delicious] (yup you guessed it my icecream was made of: Yougart with Cheese cake and Oreol-the cookies-)

So My mom looks at me then at my icecream and then she grabs my hand and makes me smash the icecream on my face. Then she said: "Thats what you get for being so obsessed! First Podolski now Delos. I need to take you to a doctor!"

(Btw, Podolski is the guy in my display pic, he is a soccer player and yes I like love him :])

That was my story. I felt like I needed to share that- plus I'm bored.

ENJOY! This LONG chapter.

Gillian Lennox

I was definitely happy it was lunch time.

Yes, classes weren't that bad seeing how I wasn't a nobody who had no one to talk to anymore, but still. I mean, who wouldn't be happy or excited to have lunch?

I was excited, mostly because I actually had someone to sit with and also because I happen to be getting a lot of attention. I smiled to myself before looking behind me to see her green eyes look at me in amusement.

"So, Rashel, you wont mind sitting with me today?"

Kid, I'm warning you about this girl…

"Not at all" she said kindly. I honestly thought she was really nice. My first impression about her was… well scary. However after we shared a small conversation I found out she was just your typical new girl with the strong attitude that many people judge before they meet.

"But we have to wait for Iliana"

Kid… I don't trust this girl…

Well I do! I shot back at Angel before giving Rashel a smile. "Iliana?"

"Yeah. I promised her I would eat lunch with her. She is in my first period class, do you know her?"

Did I know Iliana? Of course! The whole school knows her. "Yeah I know her" I said calmly acting like it was no big deal… but it was. Iliana was popular. Really popular. But she wasn't like most of the other popular girls. She was nice and kind, not conceited and cocky.

We waited for a couple of minutes until Iliana finally showed up. Rashel had told her to meet her near the main office but she had confused it with the guidance office. I was slightly shocked when she greeted me- like she knew me.

Gillian, be careful okay? Angel whispered in my mind before I heard Iliana speak up. "Shall we sit near the back of the cafeteria?" Rashel shrugged and I nodded so soon enough we were on our way to the cafeteria.

It was packed. Like expected, but we were still able to find seats in the back. People around us were staring, and my guess was that people were probably talking about how Iliana was sitting next to two losers. But then again that's what all the girls thought…

The guys. Well they seemed to be thinking something else. A lot were staring at us like we were a piece of meet and some were just looking at us with pure shock. To be honest I didn't really give much attention to most of the guys-

Actually, my attention was on one guy.

David.

He was sitting way in the other side with his friends. Like always his hair was perfect making his tanned face look so angelical with his smile. I blinked as soon as I noticed I was staring at him- and with my luck he happened to have noticed as well.

I sighed nervously before sitting down next to Rashel and in front of Iliana. "Gillian, you honestly surprised the school" Iliana told me as she took out her lunch. "I mean look at you! No one can stop staring!"

I smiled shyly before pulling out my bag of cookies. Rashel seemed to look confused but soon enough Iliana was explaining. "Lets just say Gillian didn't look like this before. She hid her beauty" I blinked surprised at Iliana's comment. "Its true. I always thought you were really pretty, you just never wanted to show it!"

She is right.

"Thank you" I said also mentally thanking Angel.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Iliana questioned doubtfully. I shook my head.

"I don't"

"Well maybe he would like to be your boyfriend" Rashel said pointing straight forward. I followed her finger and found my self looking into brown eyes but within seconds he had turned his head and I was left staring at brown hair. "He has been staring at you since we got here"

"David Blackburn?" Iliana asked.

Rashel shrugged "I guess" She then focused her eyes on me just like Iliana.

"Anything going on there?" Iliana asked and as much as I wanted to say yes I ended up shaking my head, no.

"You guys would make a cute couple" Iliana smiled kindly before taking a bite on her apple. "Rashel, don't you have anything to eat?" she asked after she finished chewing her apple. Rashel shook her head.

"I'm not hungry" Was all she said and then she smiled. I was honestly really liking this girl she was so nice.

"You should still eat something- oh my goddess!" Iliana exclaimed almost dropping her apple causing me to jump up a little. She had a big smile on her face before lowering her head down a little and explaining. "The guy over there" she pointed "is in my second period class." Me and Rashel both looked at the guy she pointed at and then we looked back at her "he is really nice… and cute"

"Galen" Rashel mumbled.

"You know him?" Iliana's head shot up. Rashel looked a little taken aback- in my opinion. However she shook her head.

"Not really… I just heard a people talk about him earlier"

"He is new. I think he was home schooled before…" Iliana started explaining all the information she knew but I wasn't paying attention. I was too busy listening to Angel

Galen Drache, Gillian. He is Night World for sure. I saw his name in some books- well his last name. Angel stopped talking for a second- I think he was thinking something over. He is royalty.

Royalty? I questioned.

Yes. He is the son of the first house of the shapeshifters. I think.

Oh goddess, he is a shapeshifter!

A royal shapeshifter. Angel corrected me but either way I was freaked out.

"…he has so much talent!" Iliana was saying. "You should have seen the rose"

"So he just talked to you?" Rashel questioned "Didn't he ask you out or something?"

Iliana shook her head "Why would he? We just met"

Rashel shrugged but I swear I heard her say something like 'they always do'.

"Oh well enough about that" Iliana said "What do you girls have next? Maybe we have a class together"

Both Rashel and I whined as we went through our bags looking for a schedule. Iliana had hers in her pocket. We gave her our schedules and she studied them carefully before jumping up in excitement.

"All three of us have history right after lunch!" I think Iliana was doing a happy dance. It was definitely adorable and the guys around us seemed to think so too. "The only bad thing would be the teacher. I heard he is mean"

"It was the teacher that told us to shut up before the assembly started. Yeah, he is mean"

We kept talking about the assembly afterwards. All of us in a way had actually paid attention to some parts of the assembly. Rashel had actually listened through the whole thing, but mostly because she was new.

"Iliana" I heard a deep voice from behind me. I turned around to see Jeremy Lovett making his way towards us. I liked what he was wearing. Black shirt with dark washed out jeans.

"Jeremy!" Iliana, for the third time today (I think), jumped up and reached out to hug him. "I was looking for you in the assembly. Where were you?"

"I just got here" Jeremy murmured "Forgot it was school day"

"You are such a dumb bum!" she exclaimed causing me and Jeremy to laugh.

"I have to get a few things from my locker" Rashel said. She seemed a little tense. "I'll see you in class" and before either Iliana or I could protest she was gone.

I'm telling you, I don't trust that girl. I heard Angels voice in my mind but I ignored him- something I would probably (just maybe) regret.

"Who was that?" Jeremy asked as he sat where Rashel had been sitting.

I replied. "New girl. Rashel Jordan" Jeremy nodded before studding me for a second.

"Gillian?" He asked rather shocked, I nodded. "I barely recognized you" he mumbled "Why the change? I liked your hair longer."

I knew Jeremy since kindergarten I think. We pretty much went to the same elementary, middle and high school. Even though we never really hanged out together he was still a friend.

I smiled. "I know, you used to put glue in my hair back in third grade!" I slapped his shoulder playfully as he laughed.

"Good times"

James Rasmussen

"…and that's my best friend Poppy" I concluded my little introduction speech with a sigh.

"Pleasure to meet you" Galen said giving everyone a smile.

I could see Mary-Lynnette and Maggie approved of him, just like Poppy, who at the moment was explain our friendship. Eric and David gave me a questioning gaze I simply shrugged. I knew they would end up liking Galen.

I'm still not sure why I brought him here- actually when he came up to me in the assembly and asked if I could help him fit in, because apparently I fit in just fine, I was shocked as hell. Of course my first thought was definitely not to introduce him to my friends. After all they were all human and I didn't know how he would feel.

But then again I did see how much he seemed to like Mary-Lynnette- maybe because they were both too kind for their own good.

After, for what seemed an hour of mental arguing I told him he could hang out with me if he wanted. He agreed, happily actually.

Galen told me that if he didn't know me, he would be fooled to think I was a human- but as far as I see it, Galen can make a better human then me.

"So Jamie is pretty much like family" Poppy said sticking her tongue at me. "My brother disagrees though. They kind of hate each other"

"Kind-of?" Eric barked a laugh "They could start world war three!"

"Agreed" Both Maggie and Mary-Lynnette said at the same time. I shrugged with a smile.

"Really?" Galen questioned "and here I thought the only one he would ever start a war with would be one of his cousins"

"Oh yeah, I meant to ask. Galen, are you a relative of the Redferns?" Mary-Lynnette asked, I growled softly enough for no one but Galen to hear.

"Uhm, not really" Galen said "My family just happens to know them- we are actually long term rivals."

"So your family dislike the Redferns?" Maggie questioned. Everyone seemed way to interested in the topic. I growled again.

"Something like that"

"But you don't dislike Jamie, right?" Poppy asked him with pure curiosity. I don't think she would even care if he didn't like me.

"James and I have known each other since we were kids. I don't dislike him, plus he is not really a Redfern- only on his mothers side."

"Do you dislike the other Redferns?" David asked. I honestly wanted to punch myself. Where is Hannah when you need her? She would have made them shut up ages ago.

"I don't really get along with some of them bu-"

"Great!" David cheered in victory. I made a mental note to tackle him later in gym class.

"You can chill with us whenever you want" Maggie said cheerfully as well.

"Consider yourself part of the 'gang'" Mary-Lynnette made a hand gesture when she said gang causing everyone to laugh.

I slightly shook my head. Sorry Galen, they don't really like the Redferns- but who could blame them? I told Galen as I saw him look slightly taken aback.

Don't worry about it, I'm just shocked they are very welcoming.

I laughed a little. Of course, the Night World always puts the humans as vermin who just exist to be apart of our meals. They always leave out the information about them being people, who have feelings and are capable of being friends.

We talked for a while. All of us actually. Galen seemed to be having a great time all though he could be acting. I would have to ask him later on. David told Mary-Lynnette to tell us what happened in first period. Both me and Galen tensed up when we heard it had to do with Morgead.

Mary-Lynnette said it was nothing to worry about, just him being a jerk. I still didn't relax.

"Hey, where is Hannah?" Eric randomly asked as he looked around.

"Oh damn, I forgot to tell you!" Poppy hit her head with her palm. "She said she wasn't hungry so she wouldn't be joining us for lunch- can you believe our science teacher made us dissect?"

There was a chorus of 'ew' coming from Maggie and Mary-Lynnette. Eric's eyes widened before he shook his head- I think he wanted to be a vet or something, so he liked animals. David on the other hand complained. He murmured 'I should have taken science.'

Galen just looked traumatized. "What did you dissect?"

"Frogs. Normal frogs" I said making sure he understood that they weren't shapeshifters- even though I've never heard of frog shifters.

"That wasn't too bad then" Eric paused "Its still sick though, I hate dissecting" Eric shrugged slightly before speaking up once more "Hannah is coming" He pointed towards the direction she was coming from.

"She looks…" Mary-Lynnette trailed of as Hannah collapsed in the empty chair besides her. "tired?"

"You okay?" I asked. Hannah looked a little pale and she was catching her breath- she had probably been running.

"I need to" she paused breathing in and out "talk to you Mags" she concluded with a sigh.

"I see how it is" Poppy said placing her hands on her hip "your going to tell Maggie and not us! Keeping secrets, are we now?" Mary-Lynnette agreed.

"No, its not that." Hannah didn't even look up she had her head slammed on the table, she was very agitated . "If I tell you, you will freak out, M'lin would give me complicated advise and the guys, well I don't think they will care"

"If Poppy would freak out, then I'm guessing we would probably care" I said defending myself and David and Eric.

"Ill consider telling you guys later, for now I need to speak to Maggie- and…" Hannah trailed off, she was looking at Galen now, who by the way looked very confused.

"This is a friend of mine, Galen." Everyone protested saying he was their friend too, I ignored them. "Galen this is Hannah, the last member of our little 'gang'" I said making the same gesture Mary-Lynnette did when she said gang.

"Nice to meet you, Galen" Hannah said giving him a smile as he smiled at her. "Now if you excuse us" and with that said Hannah grabbed Maggie by her hand and dragged her out of the cafeteria making people stare at them as Maggie protested.

"What do you think happened- and holy crap David can you stop staring at her?" Mary-Lynnette cried out causing all of us to stare at her. David looked embarrassed, he had his head lying down on the table as his cheeks turned slightly red- oh god, this was going to be good.

"Staring at who?" I asked at the same time as Eric.

David nearly jumped up "NO ONE" he yelled looking straight at Mary-Lynnette. People around us were starting to stare.

She smiled. "Well…"

"Mary-Lynnette Carter I'm warning you- or else…" David said now smirking.

Poppy laughed along with Galen- they both seemed to know who David had been staring at. I looked at Poppy she shook her head, I knew she wasn't going to tell me. I looked at Galen and he just laughed. So he wouldn't tell me either- after introducing him to my friends! How selfish.

"Are you trying to blackmail me Mr. Blackburn?" Mare asked raising her eyebrow.

"Maybe" David said casually.

"What do you have against me?" She asked smirking, oh boy.

"Your phone number" David said smiling. We looked at him confused, Mare was about to laugh before he added. "I mean, we wouldn't want it to end up in the wrong hands, right?"

"David Blackburn!" Mare yelled causing more people to stare. "you wouldn't dare!"

"I can only imagine him calling every day" David was saying as he crossed his hands "Asking if you find him slightly more attractive then the day before"

"That's what you do buddy" Poppy informed with a smile a laughed. "Maggie told me you do the same thing Jamie, so shut it!"

I stopped laughing, it wasn't true of course, but Poppy's demands are for me to obey.

"Okay, can someone tell me who he was staring at? I need this information for later days" Eric said clearly planning to use that 'information' against David when needed.

"How about we go for a walk Mare" David said shooting her death glares. Mary-Lynnette shrugged before getting up just like David.

"Aw, come on!" Eric protested.

"Bye losers" Mare smiled as she picked up her backpack. "It was great meeting you Galen, hope to see you around!"

"Yup" David agreed before putting his arm around Mare's shoulder and leaving with her. I was able to hear him say "lets make a deal" before they were out of sight.

"No wonder all those rumours about them dating exist" Poppy said with an awe expression. "They look so cute together!"

"Mare and David?" Eric asked raising an eyebrow "Never going to happen"

"Yeah I know. But still"

"Galen!" The remaining four of us turned our head to the direction of the voice as we stood up.

Walking towards us very calmly- by herself which is a shocker- was Thea Harman. She was smiling, which meant she was probably having a great day.

"Hey cuz" she greeted me giving me a kiss on the cheek as soon as she got to our table. She looked at Eric and Poppy and offered them a smile, they both returned it.

She hesitated before greeting Galen, I guess she went through the same mental debate I went through this morning. How to greet a prince in front of people who don't know he is a prince.

Galen gave her a hug. She hugged back hesitating a little. The shapeshifters who were currently in the cafeteria looked shocked and some had even tensed up. "It's been so long" Galen told Thea.

"I know, I've been wanting to talk to you all day. I just couldn't seem to find you" Thea said before turning around to face Eric and Poppy. "I'm Thea Harman by the way. A distant cousin of James and an old friend of Galen"

Thea smiled before Poppy extended her hand. "I'm Poppy North" Thea took her hand. Why where they saying their last names again? It made me feel like we were some formal 'gang'. "it's funny how I'm best friends with James and he never introduced us" Poppy shot a glare at me I simply smiled innocently.

Thea nodded "I agree. But don't blame him, I haven't seen James in years. I usually live all around the world, so yeah…" she trailed of before focusing her eyes on Eric. I could tell she studied him pretty quickly but of course he didn't notice.

Eric smiled before extending his hand like Poppy had "Eric Ross. Its grea-" Eric stopped talking. As soon as Thea took Eric's hand his happy face turned into a surprised and then confused face.

I tensed up a little as Galen and Poppy just looked at both Thea and Eric with confusion.

They were both standing there looking at each other. Thea had tensed up as soon as she had grabbed Eric's hand. Even though I couldn't really see her face I could tell she wasn't smiling anymore. The world seemed to have frozen for a second. It was kind of scary- I thought they were both going to have a heart attack.

I started freaking out a little. Because something in my mind kept popping up. Something- no, not something, it was a word. A word I have buried inside me for a while now. A word I didn't want to hear because I feared its meaning.

I tried distracting myself from paying attention to the word in my head. I looked at Thea and then I tried reaching out for her mind. I blinked. She seemed to be blocking it- actually I don't think she was blocking it, It felt like something else…

I mentally slapped myself. I looked at Galen and then at Poppy they looked so uncomfortable. I sighed before focusing my eyes back at Thea and Eric. I was about to say something, but soon enough Thea pulled her hand back as if Eric's hand had burned her. Eric just blinked twice before focusing his eyes on his hand.

"Uhm" I knew Poppy wanted to say something, but just like me and Galen, she didn't know what.

"There are still six minutes left of lunch. I also need to talk to you Thea, shall we go?" Galen spoke up casually all though I could still tell he was slightly curious and worried of what had just happened.

Thea just nodded- I don't think she was able to talk actually. I tried reaching out for her mind again but this time I knew she was the one blocking it. She looked at me before shaking her head. She wanted privacy.

"It was great meeting you Thea!" Poppy said as both Galen and Thea started walking away.

"You too Poppy" I heard Thea say this time. Her voice was a little shaken.

Once Thea and Galen were both out of sight Poppy and I turned to face Eric. He looked so shocked. I've actually never seen him like this.

"What happened?" Poppy asked crossing her arms.

"I think I'm going crazy" was all Eric said before collapsing back to his seat.

Quinn, John

I entered the school completely refreshed.

I checked my watch and sighed realising I would have to find something to do before the bell rang.

I had decided to eat outside today. Of course, by eating, I mean drinking. The girls from the school didn't look so appetizing. The only one that really did was the one that Ash had taken. He was probably with her at the back of the school right now. He didn't like changing his 'biting' place. So he would always take whatever girl there.

I had found my self a college student a couple of miles away from here. She had been very seductive, not to mention impatient so I couldn't resist myself. Older girls tend to have more blood in them.

I smiled to myself as I walked down a deserted hallway. Most students were probably in the cafeteria. At least all the vermin students. Most Night People would probably be hunting or coming back from a hunt at the moment.

Maybe I could take another drink before class? Since there was nothing better to do, I decided to go with that.

I scanned the hallway twice but it was still deserted. I kept walking looking for any sign of life for a while until I stopped precisely before turning to the next hallway.

I heard noises. Loud noises actually, I peeked from a corner and found myself looking at a girls back which was mostly covered by her dark black straight hair.

She was focused on her locker, I think she was organizing her books.

From what I could tell she had a good body. Her hair was well treated and she had good sense of style. She was wearing dark jeans with a white shirt and a black hoodie on top.

She was perfect. Perfect to satisfy my hunger a little more.

I debated on how to approach her. Maybe charm her with my looks and flirt a little? Or I could simply use my telepathy to make her just give in. I could walk by and before she notices, I would knock her down, or simply bite her and make her forget later.

So many option and not much time.

I finally decided on the walking by and just biting. No one was around and it didn't seem like any one would pass by. If someone did, it would just seem like we were making out. I was planning on biting her lips.

Everything was going to be perfect- but like always Ash had to ruin it.

"Quinn!" He yelled from behind me, I turned around to see him walking towards me with the girl from the assembly, she looked slightly pale but she still had a smile on as Ash had his arm over her shoulder. He looked bored. I hissed softly before turning my attention back to my vermin.

My dark eyes found her green eyes.

I was taken by surprise- at least a little. She stared at me just like I was staring at her. Usually after someone made eye contact with me they would turn away frightened. She didn't.

She had stopped whatever she was doing. She had a book on her right hand, half her body was facing her locker the other half was facing me. Her head was slightly tilted as her eyes were still looking straight into mine.

I couldn't read her expression, but if I had to decide, she was probably annoyed.

"What are you doing?" I heard Ash ask behind me. However I didn't turn around. Go away! I yelled at him and felt him shriek a little. "Ouch. Could have just said that instead of yelling" Ash hissed before telling the girl he wanted to go to the cafeteria. They turned around and left.

I was getting inpatient. She wasn't looking away. She probably felt like she had to win something. Or maybe she was just trying to tell me I got caught.

I mentally laughed. Maybe that was it. Maybe she was just enjoying herself because she caught me staring at her. Pathetic. She probably believed I thought she was hot-

Which she was. I studied here face seeing how I wasn't about to be the one to look away. Her green eyes made her face so interesting. She had a few strands of hair falling down her forehead. She wasn't really tanned, the black hoodie made her look a little pale. Her cheeks seemed to be smooth and gentle. Blood seemed to be running inside them because they were slightly coloured pink.

And her lips. Oh her lips were tempting. Even though they were in a straight line at the moment, they seemed to be yelling out 'bite me Quinn'.

I laughed mentally as a smirk formed in my lips.

"Do you mind?" I heard her say. Her voice was just like her lips. Tempting and impatient. "Didn't anyone ever tell you that staring was disrespectful"

I was amused by her lack of fear. She was talking to me so casually- definitely not a shy one. "They did. I just don't listen"

"You should. It could save you from looking like a creep"

"I don't mind being a creep" I replied casually putting my hands in my pocket.

My vermin finally turned away. She placed the book she had in the hand inside her locker. She grabbed another book before closing and locking her locker. She turned around to face me once again. "I mind having creeps staring at me"

"That's too bad"

"Is it now?" She asked causing me to gain even more interest in this conversation.

"Your new, aren't you?" I asked even though it was pretty obvious.

"How did you know?" she leaned her back on her locker. Now her whole body was facing me. "Let me guess. If I wasn't new I would be on my knees thanking god right now because you are talking to me" I raised an eyebrow "because you don't seem like the guy that would remember everyone who was here last year"

"I would remember you sweetheart" I said smiling. Then she did something that completely shocked me.

She gagged. I lost my smile.

"What's your name anyways?" I asked now a little fired up. Mentally I kept yelling at myself. Why was this girl even talking? I should have gone for my bite already.

Something about her just seemed to interest me. It made me want to get to know her. She is definitely nothing like the girls I've met before.

"Why should I tell you?" she questioned raising an eyebrow "Usually, when introductions, you give your name out first."

"Quinn" I was surprised to see I was actually listening to this girl.

I thought I saw her eyes shine when I said my name, but I decided I was imagining it. "My name is Rashel" She said looking bored but then something sparked in her eye. "Quinn? Like the girl from Glee?"

I wanted to chock her. Maybe suck her dry. Or I could bury her 30 feet underground alive so she can suffocate.

"I compare you with the Rachel on the show but you could never be as talented as her" I don't even know if that was a proper comeback. But I had nothing better to say. Plus my comment seemed to have had an effect on her.

"Trust me. I have more talent she could ever dream of having" Some how, it felt like she wasn't talking about signing talent.

"Is that so?"

My last words had double effect.

First effect was that I spoke the words with venom. Usually only victims who were about to die would hear me talk like that. Second effect was that my words had opened a challenge.

A challenge most vermin would decline if they knew who I was. This vermin didn't know who I was, so she was probably going to accept the little challenge.

"John!" The calling of my name caught me off guard. I roughly turned to the direction the voice had come from.

Mrs. Cole.

An Art's teacher who would probably end up dieing this year. She was what 78? I would have yelled at her for calling me by my first name but there was no point. She would never understand. Stupid vermin.

"Yes Mrs. Cole?" I asked innocently.

" I need you to carry some costumes from my car to the school drama class." her eyes narrowed to Rashel "Do you mind helping as well dear?"

Rashel smiled sweetly "Of course. I'm sure John wont be able to handle the heavy job by himself."

I growled softly before making a mental note to myself.

Next time me and you are alone Rashel. Ill take my bite.

Maggie Neely

The bell rang about five minutes ago.

I was still standing like an idiot looking at Hannah with shock.

"We should go to class" She pointed out. Mentally I agreed. Physically, I did nothing. "Ugh! Maggie, you cant be that shocked!" She yelled after a minute of pure silence.

"Really?" I finally chocked out. "One day ill come up to you and tell you that a super hottie scared me to death when he popped out of nowhere after I finished playing a very emotional song in the piano. So then I tripped because I was so freaking nervous and then he pulled out an Edward as he randomly appeared in front of me to grab my hand, so I wouldn't fall and possibly break my neck because I'm so damn clumsy! But then I still ended up falling on my knees just like him because the moment we touched we were inside each others mind!" I started breathing in and out fast as I could feel I had no more words left in me.

Man, I feel like I've just snapped on Hannah.

Hannah was staring at me with shock before she started laughing uncontrollably. "Pulled out an Edward?" Hannah nearly fell on the ground. "Maggie you complete me!" She laughed harder, I couldn't help but to giggle.

"Okay. I think we should" The second bell rang. Meaning, class had started and we were late. "go to class" I sighed.

"I have Math, you?"

"With Miss Ginger?" I asked. Hannah nodded "Okay then I have Math as well- good! Now you can give me more detail!"

"I already gave you all the detail" Hannah protested but I ignored.

We practically ran through the hallways before reaching Hannah's locker. She was sharing it with Mary-Lynnette and Eric. She took out a binder and a notebook before we ran to class. My locker was in the third floor and we were in the second, so no point on wasting time. I would just have to borrow paper from Hannah.

When we reached our class the door was still open. We walked in silently as we made our way towards two empty desks in the far end of the room. Miss Ginger gave us a glare that pretty much meant she didn't want to see us come late any more.

Everyone in the class was still talking amongst one another. Not many people were here yet. My guess was that Hannah and I weren't the only ones coming in late today.

I pushed those thoughts away and focused my attention on Hannah who was sitting next to me. "So" I said.

"I don't know!" She stretched out the 'know' before hitting the desk with her head.

"Okay what happened after you felt like you 'entered' his mind?" I asked patting her shoulder.

"I ran!" she cried out. I had to hold in my laugh.

"You just ran?" I asked in disbelief. Usually that's the last thing Hannah would do.

"I was scared! This feeling- just- ugh!" People were starting to look at us. I simply mouthed 'girl problems' forcing them to look away. "I really cant explain the feeling"

"What did he do?" I asked trying to speed up the conversation. The class was almost full, meaning the teacher would start talking soon enough.

"He was paralyzed" Hannah said lifting her head up. "and when I stood up to run-Maggie!" She yelled out pinching my arm but soon enough she hit the desk with her head once again.

"What?" I asked concerned. She didn't say anything, instead she lifted one finger and pointed towards the door.

My eyes widened and… I wanted to laugh. Thierry had just entered our class. His eyes quickly found Hannah's head. He stopped for a second before turning his attention back to the guy he had walked in with. I think the guy was complaining about something, he seemed mad.

I couldn't recognize him. My guess was he was new. His eyes had an interesting color though.

Yellow.

"Hide me" Hannah murmured not looking up.

"He already saw you" I told her still trying to hold in my laugh. But as soon as I saw Thierry walking this way I gasped, completely forgetting what laughing was. "He is coming this way"

He actually had no other choice. All the other seats were taken. Only the two in front of us were free.

"NO!" Hannah stood up as she yelled. This time everyone looked at her. "Uhm, I forgot it was my grandmothers birthday" Was all she said before sitting back down. Her cheeks were completely red.

"You grandmother is dead"

"Let me die alone" Was all Hannah said before slamming her head back on the desk.

Thierry and the other guy reached the seats in front of us soon enough. I gave Thierry a smile when he gave me a questioning gaze regarding Hannah. The other guy looked amused but soon enough he sat down right in front of Hannah. Thierry took a seat in front of me.

I texted Poppy before Miss Ginger asked for our attention. Two minutes later, my phone vibrated.

'Some creepy thing happened at lunch' it said. I replied as I tried paying attention to whatever Miss Ginger was saying. Hannah still had her head down.

'Really? 'cause what happened to Hannah was pretty freaky'

'What happened?'

I was about to reply, but the calling of my name made me freeze. I looked up from my cell phone to see Miss Ginger standing there with her hand on her hips. "Miss Neely, my birthday is on January"

I stared at her not getting her point.

"If your going to keep bringing in gifts for me to take…" Oh. I think she thought Eric's I-pod was mine.

Miss Ginger extended her hand. "Now" I sighed before giving her my cellphone- just after it vibrated. Miss Ginger looked at my phone before saying "I should read this out loud" My heart almost stopped as some kids cheered her on. "But I wont" She looked at me then at Hannah who still had her head down.

Miss Ginger sighed. I guess she was remembering last years history class…

Lets just say me and Hannah made her job harder then it should have been. "I don't want to deal with you two this year" Miss Ginger said giving both me and Hannah a dirty glare. How could David like her? "Maggie, switch spots with Thierry"

Four pair of eyes shot up to glare at her. Hannah looked terrified just like Thierry only he seemed to be slightly excited. The guy next to Thierry looked horrified but at the same time he looked annoyed. I had disbelief writing all over my face.

"Why?" I asked not seeing how this was necessary.

"Last year, you two almost failed my class. It made me look bad as a teacher. Therefore, I'm making sure you both do good in this class."

I was about to protest and bring up a good argument but she shook her head roughly. "Now." she nearly yelled before looking at Thierry "Please?" she gave him a small smile. Thierry gathered his stuff.

I sighed. I could feel Hannah's pleading eyes on me, but decided to ignore them. There was nothing I could do. I grabbed my bag and stood up. Miss Ginger went back to the front, her eyes were still on me. Thierry gave me a small smile before he sat on my ex-chair. I saw Hannah bite her lip before putting her head down- once again.

I sighed before sitting on Thierry's ex-chair. Miss Ginger smiled. "Okay class…"

This is the part when I tune out. I mentally wanted to slap myself, if I hadn't been texting, maybe Miss Ginger would have never asked me to switch spots with Thierry.

Hannah was going to kill me.
