A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a while. As I mentioned in Footprints in the Sand I have been made to study 2-3 hours a night by my dad, even though my exams don't start till may. Urgh!

Anyway, here is Chapter 2. Don't expect anything good. It is just a fill in chapter, giving you the inside view of Erik's mind.

Enjoy

As I drove into the car park of new school, I growled. I didn't want to be here. I didn't want to make new friends, or start new classes. I wanted to be back at my old school, hanging out with my friends in the hallways and in the cafeteria. I wanted to be sitting at the back of my biology class throwing paper aeroplanes at the teacher or laughing my head off at some joke Paul came up with. I parked the car in the only spot left: right at the end of the car park next to the dumpster. I climbed out he car, slamming the door shut behind me and locked it. I sauntered over to what looked like the office and pushed the doors open.

As I sat in the cafeteria alone at a table in the corner, I couldn't stop my eyes wandering over to the argument that seemed to be happening over in the queue. I managed to pick up the vast majority of the conversation, since they were practically shouting it.

'Heath. I thought you would have got it into that mind of yours last night, that I didn't want you, especially after seeing you go off with my best friend… So just leave me alone, and go and find Kayla who seems more than welcoming to be your bitch.'

'Aw, come on Zoey. You know I love you and want to be with you. Last night meant nothing, I still lo—'

'Heath. I mean it. Last night might have meant nothing to you, but after seeing you with her there is no way we could ever be together.'

I gave up listening after that, but I don't think it carried on much longer. I saw the girl, who's name I picked up as Zoey pay for her meal, throw it away then storm off out of the cafeteria. Deciding that I better make new friends, I decided to follow her, just to see where she was going.

I came across her in the gym. She was doing some sort of routine along the beam with the song Low by FLO Rida feat. T. Pain on in the background. I smiled at this, as it brought back memories of last summer with Paul, Sean, Liana, Katie and Natalie. I turned round to have a quick glance to see if there was anybody in the hall, when I heard to music turn off. I turned round, and my jaw dropped. There standing in front of me was the most gorgeous looking girl ever. Her long brown hair hung loosely on her shoulders, and the tracksuit shaped her body perfectly. She froze where she was, before walking past me into the changing rooms whilst saying a very hi.

I waited for her to come back out. I was determined to make a new friend before the end of the day, and I only had two more classes left to do it. She came back out completely unaware that I was still there. She paused at the doorway as if she was looking for something or someone. I tapped her lightly on the shoulder which startled her. She turned round, staring at me intently.

'Hi,' she mumbled. 'Is there something I can help you with?'

'Yes. I was wondering if you could show me the way English, room 101.' I smiled.

'Room 101? Well that's where I am headed so you can just fol—' She didn't finish her sentence, but turned and walked out into the busy hallway. I followed her, hoping she was actually heading in the direction of the English classroom. As we walked through the corridor, I saw that a lot of the girls heads turned to look at me, some of them were scanning my whole body. I shivered, but held my head up high and ignored them. I saw Zoey glance round for a second, but the moment she turned back round, she tripped and then sent herself flying by landing on a skateboard. I saw her squeeze her eyes shut and put her hands out to support her when she landed, but I grabbed her waist before she touched the ground.

'Heath, I meant what I said in the cafeteria. Just leave me al—,' she shouted out. When she spun round and saw me, her eyes opened wider. She apologised and started to babble on about how she doesn't call everyone Heath. I blanked her out and laughed until I saw her lips stop moving and her hand reach out for the door handle of the classroom. Before she could open the door, I grabbed her by the waist – again – and pinned her up against the wall.

'I accept your apology, and please accept mine for laughing at you. That was unnecessary behaviour from myself.' I looked at her straight in the eyes as I said this. She smiled back at me, and stuck her hand out in front of her.

'Hi, I'm Zoey. Sorry that I didn't introduce myself earlier.'

I smiled at her, before taking her hand in mine, and bringing it up to my lips. 'Hi,' I kissed her knuckles softly before realising it. 'I'm Erik. Erik Knight'

A/N: Right guys. Just want to say a couple of thing.

1. The reasong Erik's last name is spelt differently in each chapter, is because someone pointed out that I had spelt it wrong in the previous chapter, so I changed it in this chapter, and I haven't in the previous chapter.

2. I am not sure where this story is going, so this story will definately take some time, hopefully not too much time, until I have some proper drama.

3. Sorry if I take my time to upload the next chapter. Again, as before, having difficulty time wise.

4. A question I have the answer too: Is is human or not ?

Well the answer would be not. Yes, I know the book is, but I would struggle writing about the whole drinking blood, imprinting sort of concept, so going to keep it human.
