Chapter Six: Damon
My first day at school seemed to be taking forever. I did not remember public school seeming to last this long. I knew however that it seemed like it was taking so long was because I was excited to see Damon today and I just wanted to be able to go meet him already. We had been talking early this morning and had planned on meeting at the diner in town after school.
I was practically bouncing down the halls towards the gym as it was the last class of the day. I had made quite a few friends were a few girls who I had overheard talking about me and how I was stupid for not knowing that they were not my real parents. I was told to ignore it but that didn't make it any easier knowing that the entire town seemed to know about it.
"Hey." A voice said, coming up next to me. I turned to see Luke now walking beside me, a goofy grin on his face.
"Hey Luke." I replied, a bright smile on my face. I had not seen him all day other than at lunch and even then it had not been for long.
We hit the doors to the gym and he politely opened them, letting me go through first. The room was not very crowded and everyone seemed to be here though there were still a few minutes before lass started.
I quickly went to get changed into my gym clothes before coming out to gather with the group who was waiting to find out what we would be doing today. Only a moment after I stood with the group Luke came over, standing next to me. We all stood there in silence for a minute before the coach informed us that we would be playing basketball. 'This wont be good.' I thought to myself. I was not good at sports, especially not basketball.
Looking around the room I knew that I would not be able to sit out. We were split into teams and I was glad to find that Luke was on my team. "Just keep the ball away from me." I half told, half asked him.
"Not a fan of sports?" He asked with a small chuckle.
"I'm just not good at them. You should have seen me trying to play volleyball, or worse, tennis." I told him, cringing a little bit at the memory of when I had last tried to play tennis. I had hit myself in the head with the racket, hit my partner with the racket, then accidentally threw it over the net and hit the opponent. That is when I decided I was done trying sports.
They had me play for about fifteen minutes before the coach went ahead and pulled me out after the third time I got hit in the head with the ball. It felt like forever before gym was over. I had already changed out of my gym clothes and was ready to go. The second we were excused I shot up from where I had been sitting and walked quickly towards the door. I could feel the excitement exploding inside of me.
"Lexi wait up!" I heard Luke call and though I really just wanted to get to the diner I stopped, turning to face him. I could tell by the look in his eyes that he was nervous and I found it kind of cute, though I did not know why he would be nervous about anything. "I was wondering if you would like to go out with me this Saturday?" He looked hopeful now and it brought a small smile to my face.
"Of course I would. You have to make sure your fan club wont try to kill me over it though." I said with a small giggle as I nodded my heads towards a group of girls who seemed to be obsessing over him.
"They wont mind. I'll pick you up Saturday at six?" He mostly asked, making sure that time was good for me.
"Sounds good. I now have to go. I'm meeting a friend who flew into town for a visit. I will see you tomorrow though." I told him, giving him a small hug before turning and practically bouncing out the doors. Not only was I to see Damon again but the hottest guy in school asked me out.
When I got to the diner Damon was standing outside the doors, waiting on me. I let out an excited squeal of happiness as I ran towards him, flinging my arms around him. I felt my feet lift off the ground as he picked me up and spun me in circles. After a minute he set me down, his arms still around my waist. I felt a little lightheaded and was glad he was there to lean on.
"Its like you never change. You still look the same." I told him with a grin, but I was being honest. His skin had always been pale white with unique brown eyes, a charming smile, perfect hair, and overall extremely handsome.
"Well you are only getting more beautiful with age." He told me with a grin as he kissed my forehead.
"So do you want to eat here or wait till dinner tonight?"
"I can wait. I already ate when I first landed." He told me. He didn't seem to eat much, at least he never had around me but it had never bothered me much as it left more food for me.
"Okay, sounds good to me. Also, they are a little weird I guess you could say. You see, they are always having hushed conversations and I know they are hiding something from me and that worries me. But they seem to be good people. I don't know, I guess I am just not used to them yet." I told him honestly. He gave a small nod before grabbing his suitcase and putting it in the back seat of my car.
"So how is this place so far?" He asked, truly curious after we got in the car.
"It's okay I guess. I mean, it's always rainy or cloudy and its smaller than what I am used to. But I have already gotten asked out by the hottest guy in school." I told him with a proud grin.
He pat my shoulder lightly. "That's my girl, always looking for the positive side."
My smile grew as we pulled up to the house. I had not seen Kassie since I had left for school and I hated leaving her alone with them. It was part of the reason I was so glad he was here. I trusted him alone with Kassie and I knew that he would stay behind and watch her while I was at school. The front door opened and Kassie came running out, her arms open wide. I looked up to see Rose, Emmett, Jake, Nessie, and Seth all standing in the doorway, their bodies tense.
I wondered what was going on with them but Kassie had made her way to me by then and was insisting to get picked up. I scooped her up in my arms and held her tightly against me. "Did you have fun today?" I asked her with a smile.
She nodded excitedly. "I color and play princess. Seth was pony. " She said, clapping her hands. I laughed a little at that. I knew what it was like to be the pony and she liked to dress the pony up like a princess saying it was a princess pony.
"That sounds like fun." I told her with a smile before turning towards Damon. "Now Kassie, this is my best friend Damon. Can you be nice to him?" I said with a smile. She looked at Damon then back at me with a smile. She nodded quickly before she reached out towards him, showing that she wanted him to hold her instead.
He carefully slipped her out of my arms and held onto her carefully. I smiled at him. I was not sure why but guys looked even more cute when holding and playing with kids. Damon and I flirted a lot and we even went on a couple dates together but it had never led to anything more, though at times I still wish that it had. "Come on, lets meet everyone else." I told him, leading the way up to the house where everyone was now standing. Everyone but Alice looked so tense and that worried me a little but I decided to just ignore it as they were most likely just trying to be the protective family.
"Everyone this is Damon. Be nice to him and stop looking so protective. It's not like he is a serial killer. " I said rolling my eyes. I thought I saw Emmett chuckle a little which made me smile.
Damon gave a slightly worried smile and a soft nod. "It is a pleasure to meet you all." He said polity before looking back at me.
I gave a small nod, knowing that even if they weren't friendly toward him he would still be nice to them. "Now come on Damon. I will be giving you a tour and don't worry, they don't bite." I told him before leading him into the house.

~Hope y'all liked it. Let me know what you think about Damon. Excited to see how things will play out? If y'all have anything y'all would like to see in the book let me know.
