"class..
introducing, summer woods." Mrs Jennings introduced me to the class
"you may sit beside Mr A6sh wood there" she added pointing to the empty seat beside a handsome guy.
oh boy, i thought. i was so insecure in front of guys.
i usually transferred school, so i don;t sit beside guys. I'm always invisible.
"hi there, I'm Joshua, call me josh. I'm the school's quarterback." he said while making a gesture to shake my hand.
so, i took his hand and shook it. as i let go of his hands, i saw a girl staring at me frustrated.
"that must be your girlfriend" i murmured a little too loudly.
"nope. i don't like cheerleaders."he whispered back.
i stared at him for a second, but then he noticed so i quickly paid attention to Mrs Jennings in front of the class. after a whole hour of history, class was dismissed. i gathered my notes and put it in my bag and walked out of the class. it was lunch already, as i came in late for school. thanks to my dad who forgot all the documents and i had to wait for the registration so long.
well, i forgot to tell, my mom and dad are divorced. none of them wanted custody of me.. so i keep changing schools if they felt like changing turns to take care of me. that was each semester i changed school.
so i walked to the corridor, as Joshua was already walking beside me.
"so, what's your locker number?" he asked
"23. do you know where is it?" i asked, not looking at him.
"sure, let me walk you there." he replied, taking my books from my hand and bringing it for me.
"you know you should stay away from me, and you know you shouldn't give me that much attention. i don't want to get in trouble with queen bee OK." i said casually
"well. i don't really care bout queen bee,and if she wanted to do something to you, I'll help you." he said, smiling to me.
"girls can get creative you know"i said darkly
"well, so can i. and here's your locker summer."
so i rearranged my locker and put in the books Joshua handed to me. i closed the locker and he was still beside me waiting.
"shouldn't you be at the jock table eating and rummaging around with some schoolkid?"i asked smiling for the first time.
"well, that's quite a smile. but, no, i don't sit with the rest of the guys. i prefer to walk down the corridor with you today, and probably tomorrow, and the day after that."
i look at him, frowning. yet, i ignored him for the sake of staying safe. so i walked to the cafeteria with him still walking with me. i totally ignored him and walked to que. he was still with me and took a tray for his food. i looked around and everyone was staring at us as we were the last to take the food.
i ignored the stares and paid for the food and walked to an empty table. Joshua came and sat with me as well.
"everybody is staring" i said feeling uncomfortable
"that's because i don't talk or even sit with a girl before"
"what??" i shriek a little too loudly.
abruptly, Joshua hands was on my mouth to keep me for calling more attention.
"chill, okay?"Joshua said to me.
i nodded and he let go of his hands. before i was about to say anything further,
a beautiful Blondie girl came sitting in front of me joining our table.
"hi there. summer right? I'm Deena. the cheer captain. well, we have a spot empty in cheerleading. would you care to come for try outs this afternoon?" she ask grinning. she turned to look at her friends and they all giggled.
"well, not to be rude Deena,I'm not really cheerleaders material. I'm more to martial arts. karate" i answered, holding my smile.
"oh really? what belt are you now? I'm yellow you see." Deena answered full of arrogance.
"I'm black belt, with red overlapping it."
"wait, you defeated three of you teachers?" Joshua asked.
"how'd you know?" i said, turning to Joshua.
"what's black belt with red overlapping it? you're lying." Deena said.
"Deena. she's actually better than Mr Isaac. I'm only brown belt. how'd you managed to get red overlapping?"
"long story, and recess time is over. i better get to class. later." i went to my locker leaving Joshua and Deena together. how i wanted to laugh at that instant.
i went to French class next. well, living with my step dad, I'm already good at french. but, i don't need anyone to know about that now. i sat quietly and paid attention to Mrs Fritz teaching. suddenly, someone threw a paper plane to me. i turned to see who threw the letter, but Mrs Fritz caught the paper plane.
"first day in school, and you have a love plane letter for you?" she said.
i didn't know what to say, so i just kept quiet. french class wasn't that hard because Mrs Fritz didn't ask anyone to spell or write anything at the board. i get the feeling that no one ever pays attention for french class.
after class, Mrs Fritz called me to stay. i was freaking out because i was scared that i would get a detention or something like that.
"Miss Woods, here's your plane letter. i wish that there would be no more of such actions towards you after this. it would be a distraction in class. now, you may leave."
"Merci. il ne se reproduira pas. Je suis désolé, Mrs Fritz"
she looked at my face with amusement, and nodded. so i went out of class.
i was walking in the hallway, and looked for my locker. i was mumbling to myself about the rocket mail i got and who would it be from, suddenly Joshua was already by my side.
"lost again?"
"nope. not really."i answered
"then why are you at the south corner of the locker hallway when you locker is at east?"he smirked saying it to me
"fine, show me the way."i said smiling back.
and so, we walked across the hallway together. i was feeling so awkward at that moment. i never did walk with any guy in my old school. i wasn't in attention there. and when we reached my locker, Joshua was brought away by his jocks. i was a bit relieved that i can get some time to breathe. i opened the jet letter and read it in my locker
"i want to know you Summer - Eric -"
**********************************************************************
*BAMMMM
someone just got thrown into the locker next to me. i was shocked. i quickly crumpled the love letter and kept all my other books. i locked my locker quickly and made a fast move to go away from the scene. halfway to class then only i remembered that i left my physics book in my locker. running along the corridor, i went to my locker. in front of my locker, i was already gasping for air due to running. i was about to open my locker when i heard someone called out my name. i turned to see who it was. WAIT, I AM NEW HERE. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHO IS THIS PERSON LOOKING AT ME? accidentally, i let out a laugh of my thought.
"what's funny? why are you laughing? " asked the guy, not far away from me.
"nothing, just a silly thought " i replied, trying to be polite.
"well, sorry for being rude, let me introduce myself. i'm eric" he held out his hand
"summer "i took his hand and shook it.
he looked into my eyes and kept gazing through. it sent chills through my spine. who is this guy? who caused me trouble in french class. and now here? in the empty corridor when everybody else are already in class. why am i staring at him? questions kept filling my head.
"summer, i think you should get what you needed from your locker, you'll be late " Eric said. i snapped out of my question filled head.
"sure sure. nice knowing you by the way"i said, letting go of his shake.

14.1.10
a tale to be told
i woke up in the morning in shock. the image in front of me was hard to believe. my room was in a hectic mess. it was surely not the way my room looked like last night. the room was haywire, as such it was far from the image of my room before. frantic of what happened to my room, i quickly got out of the lay on the bed that i was sleeping on. as i was sitting up, i touched over something under the covers. it was wet, yet soft. feeling absurdly curious of what the thing was, i quickly pulled the covers off the bed. to my astonishment, there was a body on my bed, a body which i knew well of, with what seemed to me like blood. i felt scared and terrified and i was speechless. the body on my bed, was my boyfriend, Chris. i felt disgusted by the thought of sleeping with a corpse and even more disgusted with the awful smell of blood. not knowing of what to do next, i stood by the window silently while my tears crawled down my cheeks. i tried to control myself, but i could not. instead i went near to chris and hugged him despite of the excruciating smell of drenched blood. i continued to sob louder as i did not know what to do. my thoughts were in a mess
suddenly, someone knocked on my door. i felt a cold chill run down my spine and quickly i let go of chris. the doorknob was twisted and the door craked open. i froze beside chris. my heart was beating fastand cold sweats was trickling down my forehead. i was anticipated for who was at the door. as far as i was concerned, i owned this mansion on my own. how on earth would there be anyone else in my house, or was i missing something? why was chris dead on my bed? what is really happening?? all the question kept running in my head, but when i sam the person at the door, i stop of thinking anything at all.
"there you are shawna! we'v been looking for you. it's pretty hard you know, your mansion is quite big." the person said
"fred, you scared the hell out of me! what the hell is going on here? why are you here? what is this??" i said pointing to the lifeless chris
"ah, chris? it's a good thing you did not drink all of his blood. or he would have been dead. he'll be back in a couple of hours though. don't worry to much darl." he said,coming closer to me.
"what do you mean? he's all covered in blood. what did you mean i drank his blood? what?" i answered feeling so confused.
"your memories fails you dear, welcome to the world of being a vampire. and say hello to your creater." he answered, smiling
i was taken aback with fred's answer. how did this happen.how, when, why? i needed answers and i wanted to know them now. but before i could ask another question to fred,he was gone.
i shrugged and then turned to look at chris again. what am i going to do with you dear? i sat on the bed and looked at my masterpiece. well, my victim to be exact. i took my towel and took a shower.

one morning *updated 1*
it was a fresh morning. and i did not have anything to do or say.
my body still wanted the rest, but my eyes kept open.
i heard footsteps at the door. and i knew who it was. it should be mom waking me up in the morning.
but when the door opened, i was dead wrong.
it wasn't mum.
it was alicia.
my cousin, my annoying, self centered cousin.
who likes to use up the mansion as her own space.
and order's everyone around.
this is bad. really bad.
and mum is going out of town with dad. leaving me with alicia.
oh no, i'm dead.
it's the butler's and maid's day off..
my head snapped up, but my eyes that were looking at alicia was particularly dead.
i didn't like this, it would be torture. i have to find a way put. please god, please.
make me have a solution.
"what are you staring at? are you deaf? go and cook! ur mum and dad is out already. i'm hungry and there is no one to serve me!!" alicia yelled at me.
i don't need this now, i thought in my head. i just broke up with jake, and you give me a hardtime here. thanks mom, your the best.
"hello, christina? i am talking to you? what, did you lose your hearing or something. hurry up lazy ass!"alicia continued
i can't take it anymore!
"look alicia. you do not own this house. not now, not ever. so keep on dreaming. i am not your slave, and no one in this house is. you don't even have the money to pay up ok? so, quit it! if you're hungry, grab a pan, and fry an egg or something bimbo! it doesnt mean that you're blond and i'm brunette that you can oreder me aroud! i have enough of you melodrama!! get out of this house or i'll make you!!" i shouted at her as a response.
you should have seen the look on her face. shocked, seriously shocked.
"i.. iiii... um.. i.." alicia stuttered
"you what?!!" i barked at her
"i'm sorry! i just wanted a place that felt like home and everyone welcomed me.
oh, god, i'm such a bimbo!" she soobed her way through.
oh no, not her drama act again.
"look, if you just be a less pain in the ass, no one is goona kick you out okay? i'm having a hard time okay. jake broke up with me. i'm messed up. and you came yelling at me in the morning. i slept at4 this morning, crying the whole night. so, can you please give me a break?"
oh, christy.. i'm soo sorry. i didn't know. oh dear. i should be a shoulder to cry on. and i became a pain in the ass. sorry ok. let's do something to cheer you up. i'll cook and you get showered." alicia replied in a guilty face mannered.
i had to agree with her as all my plans were with jake, and if there is no more jake, then no more plans. oh well, why not.
getting of my queensized bed, i went to alicia and gave her a quick hug.
"thanks cuz"i said shortly.
i took my towel, to head for the toilet, yet, suddenly, there was a noise.
it was a loud shot. a sound of cracks.
alicia and i looked at each other, bewildred.
this is not happening, i thought in my head..
"alicia, did you set the alarm?" i whispered.
"not really. why?" she said a little bit too ludly..
shit, that was all my response. i took my cellphone and called jake. it was an emergency. and i needed fast help.
"jake? sorry to bother you. can you help. somebody is trying to rob the house. they shot the front mirror"
i waited for his response
"your alarm?"
"alicia's here. she forgot to set the alarm. i'm seriously scared. help here, please."
"i'll be there. in 5 mins. i'll bring the cops. find a safe place" click, the call ended
but the worst was to come
*********************************************************************
"alicia, where's ur stuff?"
"downstairs, why?"
"well. we're gonna sneaak out. can u climb?"
"hey, u're not the only one who sneaks out okay. i may have the privilege of going out all the time, but sometimes i need to sneak out to. or, sneak in somebody's house. oh. i shouldn't have told you that."
i rolled my eyes to her and took out the rope in my chessdrawer. like a pro, i tossed the rope out of my window and tied the rope to my grill. i took my backpack with whatever i could take and start climbing down with alicia close by. it was quite funny sneaking out in the day with only my night dress on. but i couldn't care. those people who broke in could take us a hostage. i won't be a hostage. will not.
"hey, where re we going?"alicia whispered.
"just follow me"i said.
the safest place i know is the lakeview garden. jake and i always go there when we were in trouble. there were lots of people. plus, we know some people living there. did i tell you, that jake is an undercover police?
oh yes. my dates with him couldn't be less interesting.
i was so distracted with my thoughts that. i stumbled upon a rock. i fell down hard as i was running. damn. i wrecked the wooden box. and the sound was pretty loud. i look sideways at alicia. all i was thinking was shit.shit.shit. we're gonna get caught. damn.
alicia held my hend and help me up. we wre about to run and.
