When i reopened my eyes, the dim morning light lite my room and the singing of bired echoed around, when i looked over at the window my curtains had been opened, a sign to say Stacy was home. I got out of bed and walked through to the living room to find both Stacy and Joe cuddled up on the sofa.
"Morning" there heads turned quickly in my direction, Joe smiled and nodded, Stacy quickly jumped up and swung her arms around me.

"Good morning" she replied with excitement, 2 minutes later she finally released her grib on me and returned to cuddling up with Joe, i made myself comfy in the arm chair next to the open window. Both of them remained silent, the cool wind blew through the window pushing my red hair from my face, the mornings seemed so dull now, like there was nothing to look forward to, i sign thinking about the fact we had to go to college today.

"What time is ya class?" Stacy's voice stattled me as i looked at her, but her eyes were still glued to the TV.

"I dont start till 10, what bout you 2?" Stacy didnt then reply but Joe finally turned his head toward my direction.

"We both start at 9 but we'll still give ya a lift, will save you walking all that way" i smiled and nodded in responce, soon my head got glued to the TV, i didnt even know we where watching the news once again, i sighed and quickly returned to my room to get ready.

Soon we were grabbing our bags and heading out to Joe's car, Stacy and Joe where in front as usaul, while i sat in the back looking out the window, we pasted riverside where the body of the young girl was found, and my thoughts started to run wild about the fact they were looking into the fact of vampism.i then started to wonder whar Stacy and Joe thought but i knew it wasnt a conversation to get into before college. Soon we were walking into the cafe, and for a change Stacy and Joe werent talking the usaul crap they did before class in stead they remained quiet, i knew something was wrong but didnt know who to ask, Stacy went off to the chocolate bar shelf while me and Joe grabbed a hot chocolate.

"Whats going on with you 2?" i asked as quietly as i could, Joe didnt answer for a moment but then he turned and faced me.

"Stacy thinks i'm only with her to get close to you just because i said to get back to yours early, she is so over proctive, i only wanted to make sure you were ok after the murder yesterday" i let out a heavy sigh and dropped my head toward the floor, this wasnt the first time this had happened, at one point Stacy was even conviced that i had slept with Joe, but we finally got through to her we hadnt, but i think this time would be even harder to convice her, i looked up as the hot chocolate machine finished making my cup.

"I have had enough of this with you to, you need to stop worry about me and just be with Stacy, im not going through this shit again" i grabbed my cup and walked over to the counter, Joe didnt follow but Stacy came up behind me.

"Whats wrong?" she asked in a sinser voice, i knew i would lose it much worse later so i got it over and done with before class.

"I'm feed up with you, thinking Joe wants to be with me, we are only mates but you cant seem to accept that, if you really think im sleeping with him why would i still be hanging out with you" i handed my money over the counter to the server and walked away. i walked down the hall way towards my block of classed, knowing later on i would get it all in the neck from Stacy, i didnt think about it anymore once i entered the computer room next to my class, i had over and hour before lessons started, and no work to do. I logged straight into the news website to have a look at the murder cases in more detail. but nothing really came up apart from what i already knew, i looked round the room a few times to see if people where watching me but they were all to busy with work, my bet is that half of them had to hand it in today and forgot till this morning, i laughed to myself about that thought. A sudden crash of the door turned everyones heads including mine, a teacher came in with a arm full of books, with 2 students following in behind them, the first one was short with short blonde hair, his eyes where dark blue colour and his skin colour was white, the second boy wasnt much different, he had longish broze hair and dark hazel eyes, his skin was also very pale like iit had never been touched by sunlight. The seconds boys eyes meet with mine and as i tried to turn and look away i got caught in his long gaze, his eyes froze my body like i had been put in a freezer, only when the calling of my name broke the gaze did i feel i was warm again, before i knew it Stacy and Joe where there, behind me.

"Zoey are you alright?" i quickly shuck off the cold feeling i had just had, and looked at them, instead of replying i just nodded and went back to looking at the screen on my computer, but when i did the cold feeling returned over my body, i looked up in the direction of where the boy had been standing and he was staring right in my direction again, but as soon as my eyes met his, he turned his head towards the teacher, the coldness then dissapearded once again, i still couldn't take my eyes off him for a moment. His face reminded me of what a angel may look like, but without the wings. Stacy's hand finally brought back my attension to her and Joe, Stacy sat beside me and grabbed my hands.
"Zoey im sorry im just so proctive of Joe i love him so much, i just need to stop being jealous that you 2 are close friends" i let out a snicker, i didnt mean to but it hurt that fact she was jealous that me and Joe where friends.

"Stacy do what you want il stay away from you and Joe if you really want me to" her face dropped and tears formed in her eyes, Joe stood there not saying a word, his read that he was in shock more than anything.

"Zoey i dont want that"

"Sure?" i asked with a bluntness tone of voice. After a minute she stood up and left the room, Joe looked down at me and sighed.

"Zoey, you know what she is like"

"Bloody jealous of a friendship is what she is like" i didnt mean to snap at Joe but he even knew her words hurt me, he quickly nodded and left to find Stacy, i sat there looking down at the keyboard infront on me, i suddenly got lost in my thought, but i didnt know what i was really thinking about.

"Hello" my eyes blinked as my head shot up towards the stranger infront of me, he pulled the chair up beside me and waited for me to speak, for a moment i couldnt, his eyes caught my gaze once again.

"Hello" i answered back, not knowing what to say without mucking it up.

"My names Simon, your?" i watched his angelic face as i tried to answer, finally i opened my mouth but it came out in a whisper.
"Zoey" he smiled once i caught my breath again, his eyes where beautiful and matched his skin and hair colour without dout.

"Zoey!, thats a beautful name" i laughed under my breathe, he smiled once again and i looked down at the table to make sure i didnt turn red in front of him,

"i havent seen you around college before, have you just transfered in?" i asked still looking down at the table, suddenly that coldness came flooding back, but this time he touched the skin of my hand, which then sent the coldness over my body, i looked up not really paying much attension to the coldness, he then brushed a strand of my hair out of my face behind my ear.

"I started last week really but with all the murders i havent been in" i suddenly felt weak like my body was going to break with one touch from him, behind him i looked at the time and quickly jumped to my feet, he soon stood up beside me.

"Sorry my class starts in 5 minutes" i quickly annocenced while grabbing my jacket and bag, he smiled down on me when i looked up.

"where is your class?" he asked in a sligh voice.

"Its just next door really" i smiled still thinking how beautiful his face and eyes looked, he then grabbed my bag off my shoulder and started to head for the door

"I would like to walk you there if you would allow me to" my smile was enough to say yes, and i quickly followed behind him.

"What are you studying" he asked, i looked down at the floor while we walked 10 feet to the next room.

"Children counselling" i annoced, then my phone went off i quickly pulled it out before the ringtone started to play, i heard him chuckle.

"That sounds really intresting,im studying car works" i smiled as i looked up at him.

"i didnt think that would be something your in to" i smiled and he returned it

"Back at ya" he said with a chuckle under his breathe again, i quicly read the text that then came through, it was a text from Stacy.

'just to let you know im moving out for a while to be with Joe im sorry i upset you but its something that i find hard to get over i hope you can forgive me'

The first thought in my head was how spitful she was being towards me.

"Here we are" Simons voice brought my head up to look at the room, it was half full already. i smiled at him.

"Thankyou Simon" i annocened, holding out my hand for my bag, he slipped the bag from his shoulder and placing it on mine, he gave a slight nod and then started to walk away, without thinking i grabbed his arm to stop him, his face was full of surprise.

"Will i see you again?" i didnt even really know why i asked him that but the short time i spent with him made me feel like a was more human than ever before, he gave me a quick smile and turned to face me.

"If you would like" i nodded without thinking twice again, in that moment he handed me a piece of paper with a number on it.

"Just text me where and when" i looked down at the number then looked up to him again but he had dissapeared half way down the hall, i then quickly walked into class and sat down, asking myself why i just asked him would i see him again. Soon my class ended and we were free to go home, but before leaving the teacher shouted at us for our last piece of work. i quickly handed it to her and headed out, i felt my phone go off again and once again i quickly grabbed it and looked to see Stacy was calling me, i ignored the call and walked out to the main gate and head home, i pulled the piece of paper out that simon had given me with him number on it, i still couldn't think why i reacted that way around him, he was beautiful without doubt, his hazel eyes trapped mine in a few gaze. I was soon home the walk seemed quick and peaceful, i reached the door and went to put my key in but it just pushed open, i slowly walked in and saw Joe standing in the hall way holding a pink suitcase, i knew it was Stacy's withiut doubt, but i said nothing, he looked at me and sighed i just nodded before going in my room and closing the door behind me, i didn't want another fight with Stacy cause it would be worse this time. Finally 10 minutes later the front door was closed and locked, the keys sounded like they had been put through the box, the flat felt empty like there was nothing there but me, but a sweet meow encouraged me i was not alone, Shadow then jumped from the window sill onto my bed and straight into my lap for a hug, i sat holding her for 10 minutes before thinking about moving again, i just couldnt really think clearly, the day just flicked by, and i ended up with a boys number that i had never meet until today, i then thought of him, his beautiful face once again, it seemed impossible to be that beautiful but he was, his eyes is what i remember the most, how deep the colour was, a dark hazel which would cause anyone to look at him. As i continued to think of him the night soon pulled in and before i knew it, the time was 7, i knew i hadnt eaten much all day and knew i had nothing in the fridge, and the shop would close at half 7, i knew i had to get something, so i grabbed my bag and headed out the door, locking the door behind me, i quiickly walked a mile to the shop the time was passing quickly and i knew i wasnt meant to be out after half 7, i reached the shop at 7:15, it was empty apart from the shop keeper, he smiled as i entered through the doors, i quickly walked over to the frozen fridge and looked to see what they had, when i opened it was shocked, there was hardly anything in it, apart from a packet of fish finger which was never really one of my favourites.

"Sorry love, there hasnt been a delivery for the past 2 weeks, so you can imagine what others where saying.

"Is it because of the murders?" the question shocked the shop keeper but he soon answered.

"Yes, because the made night deliveries round Norwich they are trying to arrange a day they can deliver, but most of them move up north to deliver through the day and when night comes they want to be with their families and with the new curfew being at half 7 its even more harde" i let out a little laugh and he smiled. I grabbed the packet of fish fingers and headed to the counter.

"£1:50 please" i quickly handed the money over and looked at my watch, it read 7:20, i only had 10 minutes to make it home.

"Good evening im afraid that we are now closing up" the shop keepers voice forced to turn my head towards the door and to my surprise my face lite up with happiness, it was Simon, standing there, his beautiful face staring straight in my direction, but i couldnt tell if he was looking at me or the shop keeper.

"Thats ok i just wanted to pick uo my friend here" i smiled and he looked straight at me and smiled, the shop keeper nodded and handed my change over.

"Have a good night both of you" he said as we both left, once we started walking in the direction of my flat i was wondering why he was there.

"May i ask you something?" i asked with a low voice. Looking out the corner of my eye i could see him smile.

'"You want to know why i was at the shop and why i said i was there for you dont you" it was like he read my mind, i was slightly in shock over it, but nodded in responce, we still continued to walk towards my flat, and he didnt seemed bothered where we were going.

"Well the fact is i saw you walking to the shop and got a little worried in case someone thought of hurting you, so i followed you" i felt cold once he said someone thought of hurting you he sounded as if he was going to protect me. Suddenly he placed his arm over my shoulder and when i looked up i saw the reason why, a group of boys stood outside near my flat, suddenly i couldnt breathe and slowed my pace.

"Whats wrong?" Simon asked and slowed with me, i looked up to him.

"Thats my flat just there" i pointed over toward where the boys where standing and Simon smiled

"Dont worry, they wont hurt you" his voice sounded so sure but i felt like something bad was about to happen. As we got closer the boys finally noticed us and started heading toward us, most of the had a bottle of drink in there hand, the first boy that came forward in our direction looked like the leader of all of them, his arms where full of tattoos and he wore dark clothes, my skin suddenly turned cold as he was no more than 5 feet away from us now, but Simon continued to walk up to him, thats when it hit me, what if Simon was part of them and thats the real reason he followed me, if that was the case my life would be over in the next 5 minutes but as we reached the leader Simon just continued pass him, i held my breathe as we reached the rest of the group, but we also passed them, once we where at the door i finally breathed, Simon laughed slightly and i pulled my keys out and unlocked the door, i quickly stepped in and turned to face Simon, he stood there looking at the boys, i then thought he was involved with them as they started coming closer to us. My body finally froze and started to shake, Simon quickly looked at me then looked back at them they still continued to walk toward us.

"Zoey get inside and lock the door, don't open it until i knock and say its me ok" i looked at Simon and couldnt move.

"i thought you were.."

"part of them, i know you did i could tell how you reacted as we approuched them" he suddenly looked at me.

"I swear to you im not part of them Zoey, but i wont let them hurt you, now get indoors and continue like nothing has happened i will knock, dont answer it till you hear my voice" before i knew it he closed the door and i stood there frozen with worry, all i wanted to do was run out there after him, but he said to stay in doors. I ran through the flat shutting all the curtains, i finished up in the living room and sat on the sofa, holding my legs to my chest thinking if he was ok, or would i be next. I didnt know Simon that well, i knew i had only meet him today, but i felt like i knew him from somewhere years ago, but now i worried about him, he got me to safety and then put his own life in danger. I just hoped that i would soon hear the knock and hear his voice but would it sooner or later,
