Chapter 3: Meeting him
Chapter 3: Meeting him
Sam's POV
It was TANTILIZING!! This smell was taunting me, and heavily wounding my self-control. I just stood there, frozen to the spot, as another breeze hit me. It carried with it that mouthwatering, perfume of that indescribably sweet blood. I tried to hold my breath and think clearly but that taste was still at the back of my throat, burning it beyond recognition. I had never thirsted for human blood so much! I felt like crying out in pain from the burning, cracking sensation it presented. I was so close to surrendering to my instincts… On the one hand there was my values, for example, never taking a human life because of what I am, no matter how evil that human may be. And on the other, the undeniable thirst! How could any one human have such tempting blood? This was too hard! I had to run! Had to get away from it.
That's when I saw him…
Jeremy's POV
"CRAP!" I swore under my breath as I tripped over my own two feet again and came crashing down onto my knees. Great! I'm already bleeding and it's only first period! I hate being such a klutz! I picked myself up off the ground and examined my newly skinned knees. "Well that'll leave a mark. Again." I sighed. I tried my best to dust myself off and make my way over to the nurse's office. That's when I saw her.
She was gorgeous! She had short, cropped brown hair to her jaw-line, bangs that went to the middle of her forehead; she was petite, and had snow white, flawless skin and was all together captivating. I couldn't take my eyes off of her; her eyes were the most beautiful shade of amber. Was that natural? Were they contacts? "WHO CARES WHAT HER EYES LOOK LIKE?" I screamed at myself in my head. I'd never cared much for girls, or relationships in general for that matter. But, she was…different. She was just so perfect. When a light breeze picked up behind me ruffling my flat brown hair she stiffened and whipped her head in my direction.
Our eyes locked. The pain in my knees completely disappeared as I lost myself in her eyes. She looked frightened. It took all I had to not run to her and comfort her, and ask what was wrong. "YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HER!! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?" the voice in my head screamed. I told it to just shut up and leave me alone! She was looking at me then, and I felt a large, goofy grin spread across my face.
Sam's POV
He was so CUTE!! I found myself staring at him. He had soft looking chestnut colored hair, and these piercing hazel eyes that you could look through almost like looking directly at his soul… "NO! STAY FOCUSED! YOU NEED TO CONCENTRATE SAM! NO TIME FOR STUPID INSENSITIVE BOYS! HE'S PROBABLY JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER JERK!" screamed my subconscious. I hated to admit it, but it was right. I had to focus on getting away from here before that scent drove me to extremes I didn't even wnt to think about! Another gust of wind picked up again. I stiffened instantly! There was that maddening scent again! It was then that my eyes locked with his, "he has the most amazing eyes…" I found myself thinking, and tried to snap myself out of it! Then the most perfect, adorable, goofy smile I'd ever seen spread across his features. If I had still needed to, I would have stopped breathing. I felt week at the knees. Speaking of knees… It was then that I realized his knees were bleeding.
That was the scent! I gasped barely loud enough for a human to hear and a look of shock, confusion, and comprehension crossed my face before I turned gracefully on my heel, and sprinted, at human speed, to my car. I needed to get out of here before I killed this beautiful, tempting stranger. I hopped quickly into the Vanquish and revved the engine. Without giving it time to warm up, I backed it out and made a hard 90º turn. I sped faster then I ever have my entire life all the way home. I just left the car in front of the garage without bothering to park it, Edward would kill me for that later, and raced to Carlisle's study at top vampire speed, hoping with all my un-beating heart, that he was still there!
"CARLISLE!! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!" I screamed outside his door.
"Come in Sam." Said the ever-calm voice of my father figure, Carlisle.
I poked my head around the door and walked fluently in and sat on a chair opposite him shaking slightly with nerves.
" What is it Sam? What happened?" he asked concern flooding his eyes.
Jeremy's POV
She had the scariest expression on her face when her eyes flicked to my bleeding kneecaps. It was like blood was her worst nightmare or something. It looked like she was horrified, relieved, and confused all at the same time. God her eyes were expressive… I saw everything as clearly as if she had said it out loud. Then she did something I did not expect at all. She turned on her heel and sprinted away from me. But she looked amazing doing it! She was like a super model or something.
I thought I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces, when she did this. Why was I feeling this way after looking at her for just a few seconds? Was I going crazy or something? "She must just be late for class." I said to myself. How come I'd never seen her around campus before? Was she new? I had noticed she had run off towards the freshmen building of the school, maybe we had a class together or something…
"STOP THAT! SHE'S JUST A STUPID OVERLY SENSATIVE CRYBABY OF A GIRL LIKE ALL THE REST OF THEM! SNAP OUT OF IT!" the voice in my head screamed. But, no matter how many times I told myself that I couldn't bring myself to believe it. She was different. So amazingly different. I found myself smiling as the nurse cleaned and bandaged my knees and sent me back to class.
I wonder what her name is? Is she really a freshman? Does she have a boyfriend? Maybe I should talk to her at lunch. Could we be friends? Would she go out with me if I asked her? How old is she? I wonder what her schedule is?" STOP THINKING ABOUT HER!! FOCUS ON SCHOOL FOR ONCE!" my mind screeched at me. The day was dragging by slower than ever, making every tick of the clock seem like forever. Finally it was lunch!!
