A/N - let me know if I have anything I should improve on. I'm not sure where this story should go so suggestions will be cherished and seriously considered.
I sat in my math class next to Peter. "Did you do the homework?" I asked him. I took the time to admire once again his shimmery blond hair and his beautiful violet eyes. He really is sexy. I thought, not for the first time.
"Of course I did it Haylee. I always do my homework. Did you 'forget' yours again?"
"Hey! What makes you think I didn't do it this time?" I pulled out my math text and flipped to where I stuck my homework in it. Holding it up high, I said "Now apologize for assuming. I demand it!"
He stretched his hand over to grab the paper and I yelped as his hand brushed mine. "You shocked me again! Stop doing that!"
"What makes you think you didn't shock me?" I looked innocently in his direction.
The class quieted once the teacher cleared his throat. I set my homework on my desk and listened to the lecture.
The rest of the day went by quicker than I thought. before I knew it, it was time to meet Elise by the lake. I paused on my way and almost turned back. I really didn't want to tell anybody after keeping it secret for so long. If my parents were still alive, maybe I wouldn't have needed to turn to a human. I cut that thought short. Ifs never got me anywhere.
I tripped on a small brush and cursed under my breath.
"Is that you Haylee?"
"Yes. I'm coming." I rounded the corner and came to a dead stop. There, next to Elise, was Peter. Shit. I can't talk to her with him here. "Uh, hi Peter. I didn't expect you to come. I didn't even know you two were on speaking terms."
Peter looked serious. "We have to talk to you about something very important. It involves the Night World."
