A/N: Hey guys! I'm back! SURPRISE. Yeah so I got like absolutely no reviews which was a tad disappointing to be completely honest but I've also been too busy to post so it's my fault for not keeping this story interesting. I'M SORRY! I'm a busy girl. SO I hope you guys continue to read and I hope you like it cuz you haven't told me otherwise : )

Faith POV

I left English as quickly as possible to run to lunch to meet up with Jonathan and Kira. It had been a whole week almost since I'd been sitting next to Eric and nothing had changed; I avoided all conversation and interaction with him as much as possible, which was hard to do when I sat right next to him. The bell had become a sort of saving grace for me to make my escape, as I did today. "Faith! There you are!" Kira said catching up with me in the crowds of students. "Kira!" She smiled, "I need to grab lunch real quick. Meet on the patio like usual." I nodded as she quickly ran to the lunch line. I walk out the doors opposite the lunchroom outside to the enclosed patio to find our table. As usual Jonathan was already sitting at the table with his lunch as I sat down opposite him. I started unpacking my lunch and started my sandwich in silence while Jonathan tried to engage me in a conversation about our science teacher but my thoughts kept turning to my predicament in English. Kira walked up and sat down somewhere in the middle of Jonathan's rant about our homework from the previous night and commented here and there when suddenly the conversation stopped. "Faith? What's up with you?" she questioned suddenly. I turned to her and shrugged, taking another bite out of my sandwich. "You've been acting weird all week, Faith. Something bugging you?" said Jonathan. I sighed, "Guys it's nothing, I'm just tired." "Cow pies," Kira accused, "Faith, tell us what's wrong." I shrugged again and looked down at my pretzels in discomfort, "just this guy, in English, he's so… I don't know, he makes me so uncomfortable though, I don't even know why."

Dracula POV

I sighed as English class started. I had to do something about this tension Faith had created. It simply wouldn't do if I was going to gain her trust. I tried to make amends during the work time left at the end of class. "Faith, I tire of this pointed disregard, if I have somehow offended you I will happily make amends to regain your favor." She listened still avoiding my eye and a small blush started creeping into her cheeks as I finished. She turned and her eyes met mine for a fleeting second before she looked down again, "I'm sorry," she finally managed meekly, "It's nothing you did…I'm just, oh I don't know you're just so… ", She struggled to voice her idea, "intimidating, I guess," She finished finally, her face continuing to flush. I couldn't suppress a knowing smirk, intimidating, a extremely fitting description I thought. "And tell me what it is I should do to fix that?" I prodded jokingly. She turned and looked me straight on for the first time, probably about to retort in offense until she saw my smile and her features turned to a sheepish smile though I perceived her eyebrows furrow slightly before she faced back to her analysis paper. I chuckled quietly, "oh, Faith, I look forward to getting to know you," I whispered before following her example of turning back to the paper in front of me…not of course before I saw the blush creeping back into her cheeks. Yes, everything seemed to be starting to work out nicely.

Marissa POV

I sat down next to Faith in math class, and looked over at her as she took out her binder and pencil case. I had started math with her and was starting to become friendlier with her as the week progressed, usually working through homework together and chatting about teachers and our schedules, but today she seemed distracted and tired. Not that she looks any worse for it. Still perfectly adorable, I thought quietly, and sweet, I added as she smiled quickly at me before looking back to the lesson; I wasn't paying attention though, I was only here to watch over my charge: her. As I glanced at her again, I caught a boy's eye. I looked back quickly to check again; yes, he was definitely staring at Faith. He suddenly noticed me and we came to an immediate conclusion as he smirked wickedly and I barely restrained a growl; enemy. I had wanted to write off what Eric had brought up as a coincidence but here was my proof. I cursed under my breath, what was I going to tell Eric? Faith must have heard me because she looked over in concern. I shook my head waving her off. The bell rang and she packed up and looked to me, I smiled, "Go ahead, I've got something to sort out, see you Monday!" She wished me a good weekend and left blissfully unaware of what she was leaving in her wake. As the teacher left to prepare fro the next class, I stalked over to the boy who was nonchalantly packing up his bag. "You can pack your bags and leave." I growled warningly. He grinned up at me wickedly, "Why leave when such a prize is ripe for the picking" he countered calmly.

"She is already claimed," I said dismissively.

"I beg to disagree. Her flower is most definitely still in bloom.," he said with a wicked sneer as he vanished in front of me. I growled again in frustration and then followed suit, disappearing from the room and reappearing outside and began a text to Eric, Max and Caleb for an emergency meeting. We needed a plan; fast, before Faith disappeared forever.
