Chapter 1.

I walked slowly down the hall, my footsteps echoing. I was concentrating so much on trying to not think about my thirst that I didn't see her.

"Dave!" Kerry yelled in my face.

I stopped suddenly and looked at her, no expression on my face. She laughed.

I stopped to properly look at her and think about her, so as not to think about my thirst. She was always so hyper and upbeat, her long, silky, light brown hair was way past her waist. She seemed the complete opposite to me, it was unbelieveable that we were friends. She was a fairy/angel and I was a vampire/werewolf... she was always happy and I was always sad... she had the courage to tell me her species first and I didn't... I thought back to that day, only 6 months ago...

"Dave..." She had suddenly said seriously, still colouring in her picture.

"Yeah...?" I asked, sighing.

"I just want you to know that I'm not human." I was surprised at this point, I had never expected it. "I'm half fairy and half angel. Oh. And don't tell anyone." Then she looked up at me and beamed.

"I'm not human either..." I had begun, blushing at how stupid this sounded. "I'm half vampire and half werewolf... which is strange as they're supposed to be enemies..."

She'd just laughed.

"Dave. Are you okay?" I brought myself back to the present. And unforunatly back to the burning in my body.

"Yeah..." I sighed. "Just thirsty and trying to keep my mind off it. That's all." I nonchalantly blew the dark lock of hair that had fallen into my eyes, which didn't help in the slightest.

"You don't look it..." She leaned in to look closely at my eyes. Her light pink/purple eyes were just inches away from my face...

"What colour are my eyes then?" I whispered, trying not to look at her lips which were so close now...

"They're still rather emeraldy... they're usually more brown when you're thirsty. And you're pupils are the normal size..." She finally leaned away from me and cocked her head to one side.

I shrugged, ignoring how fast my breathing suddenly was - in fact, I stopped my breathing all together as soon as I realised it. "Maybe it's nearly full moon then..."

"But you're eyes are usually blue when it's nearly full moon..." She added.

I sighed, closed my eyes and smiled slightly at how well she knew me. Then the bell rang for first period.

POV Change:

I sighed. Being the new kid was always hard. This was the third school this year. Someone always found out I was a freak. I lost count of how many times I'd been called "Witch", "Devil-worshiper" or "Freak". I didn't consider myself the first two. The third on the other hand, yes. Visions and the ability to shield people would definitely freak people out. I had decided in the car ride her I wouldn't tell anyone, not even if they were a good friend. I looked down at my schedule. Ugh... Math. The bell rang as I was searching for the room. I was going to be late my first day.

*I'm assuming this is high school. Correct me if I'm wrong and I'll correct it in the next posts*

POV change:

I chewed on my eraser thoughtfully, looking around my math class, just taking time to notice things. I blinked as I realized there was a new kid, and I was seriously considering throwing something at them, two seats ahead and a seat to the left, when the teacher's voice broke my train of thought.
"Miss Thorne," he said impatiently.
"Yes sir?" i said, feigning innocence.
"If you are going to daydream, please have the decency to at least pretend your listening," he said. There was a bit of snickering as he returned to the lesson that none of us really cared about.
I pulled out a sheet of paper and pretended to take notes, when in reality i was looking up at the new student through a curtain of my long, cocoa-colored hair.
I focused on him/her, willing them to turn towards me. Oh yeah, did i mention i can influence people's thoughts? Yeah, it's pretty cool. But i dont like to brag....

-is the new student boy or girl?-

POV Change:

Something made me turn toward the girl that had just been called out. "Miss Thorne," he had called her. Math wasn't my best subject and this class was way ahead of the class at the school I just left. The stuff was way over my head. I'd be lucky if I squeaked by with a "D". The girl was watching me through her hair. I willed myself to have a vision. Which I did. And it had nothing to do with Miss Thorne.

'Dad was taking a turn too fast in the rain. He lost control and sent the car sliding into the next lane. Right toward a much larger truck.
"Dad!" I screamed.' I heard the teacher clear his throat. I realized I'd closed my eyes. I smiled sheepishly.
"Because you are new is the only reason I'm letting you get away with sleeping in my class today," I felt my face flush. I really had to learn to keep my eyes open. "Don't let it happen again, Miss..." he flipped through the papers in his hand, one no doubt being the paper I had handed him to sign letting the office staff know I was in his class. "Reynolds. If it happens again, you'll be standing up for the rest of the lecture," A couple of snickers filled the classroom. He walked away and I slid down into my seat. I could tell right now this was going to be hell.

POV change (To Dave):

The thirst was really annoying me, especially as the new kid, the teacher had called her Miss Reynolds, smelt really good... ARGH! What annoyed me even more than that though was the fact that Kerry had said that I didn't look thirsty and don't understand it!

I sneeked a peek across at her. She was actually working. ARGH! That makes me feel even more sinful than I already am!!!! Damn this stupid Vampire curse! Damn this stupid Werewolf curse! And bless Kerry. Bless Angels. Bless Fairies. Bless...

"Mr. Smith!" My head snapped up at the teacher. "Please tell me why you find Miss. Sellick a lot more interesting than my lesson."

My cheeks would have flamed bright red if I hadn't been undead. I looked at Kerry, who smiled at me. That gave me the courage to do it.

"Well, sir." I began. "The fact is that for one, this lesson is so extremely boring that even a insect with five legs would be more interesting. And for two I've finished my work, which I believe is all correct so you have nothing to complain about."

"That's it! Outside RIGHT NOW!" He yelled at me.

I grabbed my bags, smiled at him and said, "Gladly." I started walking in the opposite direction from the door; to the window.

"Where are you going?" He yelled at me.

I slowly turned round, slyly opening the window behind my back. "Going outside like you told me to."

"I meant the Hall--" He stopped short when I jumped out the window.

Of course I landed on my feet and then leaned against the wall calmly, for once I didn't care if people began to suspect something about me.

-End of Chapter 1-

*Yes it is in secondary/high school. Year 9. ('cos it's a random year in roughly the middle and I'm in that year ^_^)*

*In future please state who you're POV changing it to like I have above*

CHAPTER 2

POV Change (to Keisha):

I couldn't pay attention in the next two classes. The boy that had jumped out the window was on my mind. I managed to pretend I was listening and thanked everything sacred that none of the teachers had called on me. I walked into the lunch room and seeing no spot that was vacant and away from anyone, I went outside. Several more students seemed to have the same idea I had. I sat against a wall and took out a journal, jotting down the vision from math class. I was going to have to warn Dad about sharp turns on wet roads. Then I felt another one.

'The boy was standing there. The next minute, in his place stood a wolf. Then he was back to human, only this time his lower face was covered in blood.'

My eyes focused again. That didn't make any sense at all. I looked down and frowned. I wasn't sure if I should write that in my vision journal or not.

That was when he walked past me. I just gawked at him. I didn't believe in coincedences and I'd just been thinking about him!

He sensed someone watching him and turned to look at me. He looked puzzled then smiled at me.

He had a bit of blood on his lip... I just stood there staring.

POV Change (to Dave):

What was the girl staring at? Then I realised. 'Course... she had been in my class when I jumped out of the window... I sighed and turned to Kerry who was running up to me.

"Hey Dave!" She frowned slightly at me and leaned towards me. I was confused until she whispered in my ear, "You have blood on your lip. As if you weren't careless enough in maths..."

"Oh." I wiped my lip with the back of my sleeve and went to look back at the girl who had been staring at me, now understanding, but she was gone.

POV Change (to Keisha)

I used the the distraction of the brown haired girl to slip away. I found myself in the bathroom looking into the mirror. No, that scene wasn't from my vision. Maybe he bit his lip when he jumped from the window. How could he still be walking? That had to have been a two story drop. I was used to freaking people out, not being freaked out. Then a sudden thought entered my mind. He was different. Like me. Why should I be freaked out? I gathered my things and realized in horror that my journal was missing. I must have dropped it in my haste to escape from the Smith kid.

hey how bout tis...it may sound like urs but there is some difference

Something made me turn toward the girl that had just been called out. "Miss Thorne," he had called her. ii wasnt really good at math at the school i just left and ,so far, this school seemed farther ahead in learning then my last. The stuff was way over my head. I'd be lucky if I squeaked by with a "D". The girl was watching me through her hair. I willed myself to have a vision. Which I did. And it had nothing to do with Miss Thorne.

my vission went like this:
'Dad was drivin reklessly in the rain. he started taking a turn way too fast. He lost control and sent the car sliding into the wrong lane. Right toward a much larger truck.
"Dad!" I screamed and closed my eyes in fear of what might happen next.' i was awakend quickly out of my vision by the teacher clearing his throat. I realized I'd closed my eyes. I smiled sheepishly, slightly embarest.
"Because you are new is the only reason I'm letting you get away with sleeping in my class today," I felt my face flush. I really had to learn to keep my eyes open. "Don't let it happen again, Miss..." he flipped through the papers in his hand, one no doubt being the paper I had handed him to sign letting the office staff know I was in his class. "Reynolds. If it happens again, you'll be standing up for the rest of the lecture," A couple of snickers filled the classroom. He walked away and I slid down into my seat. I could tell right now this was going to be hell. i tryed to put a smile on my face but it didnt work. i finaly decided to put my hair in my face and lean against the desk,pencil in hand leaning over my paper, and pretended to take notes . slightly listening to the teacher to hear if he calls my name. i didnt want to start all that again.

"I'm going to be late, I better go Kerry..."
"Alright Dave... call me later so that i know you're ok. Please?"
"But of course." I gave her a slight nod and she backed away from me as i started to walk away. By the time I got to class i was late.
Figures... i thought to myself.
"Well Mr. Mason would you like to give me your excuse as to why you're late for my class today?" I just stared at Mrs. Rifton for a minute before answering. She stared back at me with her forest green eyes. I could a feel growl crawling up my throat and i stifled it immediately.
"Well, we're waiting." She told me, now turned completley in her chair to look at me.
"Bathroom, i wasn't feeling so good." I knew telling her I was with Kerry would be the wrong thing to say and she usually let us off if we weren't feeling well.
"Thats the second time this week, next time i expect a nurses pass."
"Yes mam."
I took my seat at the back of the room silently and just waited for that godforsaken bell to ring.
