Chapter 5
Later in my condo, I had the homework that was assigned done in ten minutes. When you have been thru as much school as I have been, you eventually know these things as if they were common sense.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in Henri."
He entered. "Sir, When would you like your dinner?"
"Not tonight, Henri. I'm not very hungry."
He sighed. "Yes sir."
He left and I didn't turn to look at him.
I sighed for what seemed the millionth time that evening.
I got up and fell onto my bed, letting sleep take over me.
….
My dreams have a sick way of tormenting me….
This time, I was lying in the grass on a bright sunny day. I sill love the sun, despite my natural weakness in it.
And I wasn't alone.
Next to me was a warm figure. I couldn't see, but I could tell by the sweet smell it was a woman. Her arm slid over my chest and stopped over my heart. I smiled and slid my arm around her, stroking her back with light fingers. I heard a sweet sigh as she kissed my neck.
I moaned and leaned my head against hers.
"I don't want to be alone anymore…." I whispered.
I felt her smile against my neck. "You don't have to be anymore."
I opened my eyes and looked down. Sadly all I could see was the top of her head. The woman had soft brown hair.
I lowered my hand beneath her chin to raise her face to mine.
Sadly… I never got that far…
….
I woke up in the middle of the night with sweat running down my body. I grumbled and got up to go sit by the window. There was no point in trying to sleep again when I only had to get up in a couple of hours for school.
I sighed and reached for a book.
…
The morning of my second day of school was just as boring as the first. It was easy to impress my teachers with the knowledge I gained over the years.
The girls continued to stare at me and the boys continued their little personal 'evaluations' of me. I decided to humor no one.
I'm not here to play their social games… actually… I don't know why I am here…
My morning classes were over and now I had to endure the cafeteria. Sadly, I wasn't allowed to skip this class since I had nowhere to go.
I entered and went to a table in the back corner, alone.
I got my homework out and started working on the math problems.
It only took five minutes for someone to approach me.
"Hey."
I looked up to see a young boy dressed in his school's sports jacket and jeans.
Alright… I'm guessing… quarterback…
"Yes?"
"Football tryouts are this afternoon. We need players. Be there right after school."
I raised an eyebrow as he walked away.
What rude children at this school…
I shook my head and went back to my homework, which was almost done.
"Excuse me." A small voice said a few minutes later. "Don't I know you?"
A chill went down my spine as I looked up slowly.
Her eyes went wide and she gave a dazzling smile.
"Damien! I knew it was you!"
"Emily…"

Sorry if the chapters are too short or I'm not updating as often as people want, but I really want to really take my time with this story. More will come as soon as I feel the chapters are worthy! ^_^
Also, I wanted to let people know, this will be my last update until after the holidays. I have a lot going on and I need to concentrate on that. THEN I will be right back to writing!
HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS/ HAPPY CHAUNNAKA! (hope I spelled that right)
