Dad won't be happy about this. I thought as I hurried off towards class. Dad was never happy about anything that wasn't school or vampire hunting, which by the way I suck at. I couldn't tell a vampire from a ridiculously beautiful human if my life depended on it! (A/N the entire point of this story! DUH!!)

By the time I got o class I was late and I took my seat blushing. After this class I only have one more hour 'till I have to face Dad for another tracking lesson. I sighed. When the bell rang I trudged off towards Alg.2. I was half way there when I collided with what felt like a brick wall! I looked up from where I had fallen and there, dusting herself off was Sam.

" Oh, Jeremy! I'm so sorry! I just had my schedule adjusted and I was trying to find my math class, I was in so much of a rush I wasn't watching where I was going. Sorry!" She explained to me, extending her hand to help me up. I took it without hesitation, and when our skin touched an electric current ran up my arm.

"Whoa…" I muttered as I regained my footing and dropped her hand.

"Whoa what?" she asked, giving me a curious look. I blushed; I hadn't intended for her to hear me.

" Oh! Uh… nothing. Never mind. Did you need help finding your next class?" I asked, hastily trying to change the subject.

" Yes please." She said thankfully, handing me her new schedule. She now had everything except science and gym with me. YES! My mind screamed.

"What do you know? We have the same class. I was on my way, so lets walk together." I suggested with a smile, handing her schedule back to her. She nodded and smiled as we began down the hall. We chatted on our way, and sat down in our seats just as the bell rang. At the end of the period I walked her out to the parking lot and said goodbye. She waved as she ran off towards her blue Mini Cooper.

When I got home dad wasn't there yet so I went upstairs to do my homework. I finished it quickly and went down to the kitchen to find something to eat. Just as I was finishing my pop tart Dad walked through the front door.

"Hey Dad!" I yelled from the kitchen table. He hung up his coat and walked into the kitchen loosening his tie. He smiled as he looked through the cabinets for something to eat.

"Hey Jer. How was school?" He asked, not really paying attention. He was expecting the regular 'not much, just boring classes homework blah blah blah.'

I guess now is as good a time as ever. I sighed. " Good. I met this really nice girl today. She's in most of my classes and we get along really well. Her name is Sam." I said, as if it weren't a big deal. My Dad froze as soon as I said the word 'girl'. Figures. I said to myself. Girls were a touchy subject with Dad.

My mom left us when I was A few months old. She said it was a mistake to have married him right out of high school, let alone have a child. I don't remember her so I don't really care too much. The only part that gets me angry is when I found out that she got married to some major league baseball player who's really rich and never even helped us out. We aren't poor, but we don't have a lot of money either. My dad works a full-time job, even working Saturdays, and I work part-time and weekends at a coffee shop here in town. Even now we're still struggling a bit.

"A Girl?" He asked incredulously. He looked over at me with a death glare plastered on his face and a hint of hurt in his eyes. I hated that look. It made me feel guilty, even if I hadn't done anything.

"Uh… Yeah Dad." I swallowed. Hard. " A girl, as in a female, as in-" I said acting like I thought he was clueless.

He cut me off. " I know what a girl IS Jeremy!" His voice lashed out at me. He had his nose pinched between his thumb and forefinger, and his eyes closed. " What have I said about girls?"

"'They're stupid, overly sensitive, hypocrites who aren't worthy of my time. I should be spending my time perusing my calling as a vampire slayer than drooling over women.'" I quoted him. I was sick and tired of having this talk with him. I sighed exasperatedly, hoping he wouldn't lecture me.

" All right. You get it, so I'll skip the lecture this time." He said and gave me a small smile. "So... you finished your homework yet?" he asked as he took a frozen dinner out of the freezer and popped it into the microwave.

"Yeah it was all pretty easy, just the normal math and stuff."I shrugged as I took a seat on one of the barstools behind the kitchen counter.

"good" he smiled, taking a bite of his mashed potatoes. "Cus after I finish this we're going out for your tracking lesson." He grinned. what was the big deal with hunting vampires? there weren't any around here anyways, so why did we bother? the sound of my dad coughing brought me out of my thoughts.

"Time to go Jer!" He said with a smile. I internal groaned but got up from the barstool anyway.
