A/N Thanks for reading. I appreciate it but would you please review, because I need guidance etc. I have the storyline roughly, but it is flexible still so I would love ideas. Anyway, enjoy. :)

Chapter Three – Chemistry.

What was this? A crypt?

The two vampires took their seats giving Josh a small smile. I scowled to myself, what where the chances of ending up in a Chemistry class with three vampires? Four, if you include me, but I'd rather not be categorised with them. From reading their mind's I found out that the girl Vampire was called Alice and the boy Jasper.

Who's that next to Josh? I've never seen her before, is she new? Why didn't I See this? And why's did he sit there rather than with us. I hope she's nice, he must really like her to sit over there. They would make such a cute couple. She's really pretty but she could do with a nicer top. Oh god I can't See her future, I'll have to ask Carlisle what this means.

I couldn't help but be a bit smug that she couldn't See my future, that confirmed that vampire power's do now work against me while my 'barrier' is up. I would not like her interfering either. God knows why she thought that Josh and I would become a couple?

That new girl is different. I can't feel her emotions. That's odd. I'll have to ask Carlisle about this. I hope Josh knows what he's doing, she's only human after all, it's dangerous for us to even be here, never mind dating a human.

I screwed my face up in disgust. How did they jump to the conclusion that we would end up dating? I mean I don't want to even be sat here next to him, never mind date him. At least Jasper understands that human-vampire relationships are not good. They only end in a knocked up whore and a vampire dad who couldn't give a shit. I swallowed a lump in my throat and tried to concentrate on the lesson so I calmed down.

The teacher lectured us about different atomic bonding with the classic personification of atom's which hindered rather than aided the lesson. Then he gave us a worksheet to work through. Glancing at it I knew it would be easy.

"So why did you transfer?"

"Do you like Chemistry?"

"What's your favourite subject?"

"Do you have any siblings?"

Josh bombarded me with questions. Of which I answered all with a shrug. I could feel him getting more and more wound up by me. Which, I must say, amused me greatly and I continued, waiting for him to crack.

"Are you just going to ignore me forever then?" snapped Josh finally, and my face broke into a grin. Mission: successful.

"I don't want to talk to you," I said, my face showing no sign of emotion.

"Why? I'm only trying to be nice?" he moaned. I inhaled slowly. I knew he was trying to be nice, but I couldn't trust him. He was a vampire. He would hurt me. Plus, I knew if I even let him get close then I would be vulnerable. I couldn't let my guard down for anyone. Everyone leaves me in the end and I won't let myself get hurt. I had had friends once. Well a friend.

He was called Tom and he always stood up for me when the older kid's picked on me for being weird. I really liked him and I trusted him to always be there to protect me. We used to say that when we where old enough we would run away and live together. We were best friends. He left me when he was eleven and I was eight. He changed completely and started getting girlfriends. I was jealous but he didn't want me anymore. My Tom had gone. Not long later I got fostered.

I had packed up my clothes and put it in the boot of my new family's car. It only took one trip to empty my bedroom of my belongings. I was all ready to leave, but I had to do something first.

I pushed open Tom's door cautiously and looked in,

"Tom?" I called timidly. He was lying on his bed on top of a brunette girl of about the same edge. They where kissing furiously. I grimaced; why would anyone want to stick their tongue in someone's mouth? Ewww.

"Tom?" I called again and this time he heard me. He got off his girl and looked at me with my too short jeans and blue backpack. His eyes flashed with annoyance.

"What do you want Alexis?" he snapped. I gasped and took a step back; I felt like I had been slapped. Tom always called me Ali. Never Alexis. And he never snapped at me.

"I'm leaving now, to go with my new family. I wanted to say goodbye," I explained. His face seemed to soften slightly and I could have sworn his eyes were apologetic, but he just shrugged his shoulders.

"Whatever Alexis. Bye," he said in a bored voice, before immediately kissing his girlfriend again. I watched for a split second before I spun on me heels and fled. I brushed away a tear and joined my new family.

That's when I really learnt to defend and protect myself, to trust no one.

"Alexis?" questioned Josh.

I couldn't even look at him. Despite me being part vampire, vampire's had the ability to dazzle me. I refuse to be dazzled by anyone.

"Look, Josh. I neither want nor need friends." He looked at me and I peeked at him cautiously. His eyes flashed with shock, pity and then finally anger.

"I disagree" he whispered returning to his work.

"You don't have to agree; it's my decision."

"Well, are you going to tell me why you feel that way?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Cause, I'm not"

"Fine"

"Fine"

We continued the lesson in silence. I relaxed; it was easier this way.

A/N Right I would like some reviews. Even if you hate it, I just want to know what people think. How it could be improved etc.

Thanks Susie xxx
