As she moved her hair away from her face, she caught a glimpse of some outline in the darkend road. She looked out her bedroom window again to see if what she had saw was still standing there. If she saw anything at all. There was nothing there. She told herself that she was about to go crazy, if she didn't get out of the house soon.
"The next day." she told herself. As she walked back to her bed. It was 6:30 a.m. by her clock. She was going to be getting up early anyways so it didn't matter.
She laid down in her bed and tried to get some sleep. It didn't happen.
"HOPE!! Get up now!!"her mother yelled at her bedroom door five minutes later.
"OKAY!! I'm up!!" she yelled forcing her body to get out of her very comfortable bed.
She went and hopped into the shower. She washed her hair with some type of shampoo. (The first one that she saw.) Then she got her black sponge and her Japanese Cherry Blossom body wash. After she was done scrubbing every inch of her body she rinsed off and got out. Then she rubbed her Japanese Cherry Blossom lotion over her body.
Then she went back into her room, and tried to figure out what to wear. She picked a black and red shirt with the words "KISS ME, I'M YOUR LUCKY CHARM" on it. Then she walked over to her dresser to get a pair of panties. She choose her black and purple thong that she owned. She decided that she would wear her blue jean skirt with black and gray leggings, and of course her black combat boots.
Then she applied a layer of her standard black lipstick, a thick layer of black eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara. Re-applied her black nail polish. After that was all done she grabbed her book-bag and her black purse with the H.I.M. Heartagram on it. She was ready to face the sunlit world.
When she got downstairs her little sisters, Kate, April, and Jessie were waiteng on her.
"Did I say that I was taking yall to school this morning?" Hope looked at the expressions on their faces.
"Nope, you didn't, but Momma did!" Kate said looking at her older sister with intense eyes.
Kate and April twins. They happen to be identical twins. They dressed alike and talk alike. The twins are 10 years old. Then there is Jessie she is 15. It is her Freshmen year at Woden High School. She is exactly a year younger than Hope. Hope is 16. On Hopes birthday, Jessie will turn 16. Hope and Jessie don't share a room, but their mother has threatened to make them share a room if they fight any more.
"Okay! Go get in the car. Twins in back, Jessie you have the front seat. " Hope said as she walked over to fridge to get somehthing to drink.
They all got into Hope's black Mustang with red interior. Of course there was a fight about what station they had to listen to. THey finally just turned the radio off.
When they got to school, Kate and April walked together to find find their classes. Hope parked her car in student parking lot. Her and Jessie got out and walked up the stairs to the High School. When they got there all of their frioends were waiting for them.
"Hope, try not to get into trouble today. YOu know what will happen if you do." Jessie said walking towards her friends.
Hope pondered on that for a minute. Then she found her homeroom and went and sat down in her seat. The teacher came in and told them to go to the gym where the princapal would make a speech. She saw Jessie sit al the Freshmen. While she sat with her friends in the Sophmore section. She looked a the prncapal. It was the smae princapal as last year. Her name was Mrs. Red. Hope disliked Mrs. Red, and her daughter which happened to be student body president and leader of all the committees. Her name was Lizzy. Lizzy and Hope were best friends through out grade school, but when Hope got into weird stuff everything changed. Lizzy stopped hanging around her, and got new friends. So from then Hope was alone. Until her Freshmen year. She became friends with the weirdos on the campus. All them had boyfriends excpet from Hope.
As soon as the meeting was over they all went to first period. Hope realized that Lizzy wasn't hanging out with the people that she normally hung with. Lizzy was in a corner all by herself until Hope walked over to her.
"Lizzy, why aren't you sitting with your friends?" Hope asked.
"Because, I really hate those back-stabing bitches. All I want is to have a real friend or two that won't do that to me. You never back-stabbed me, did you, Hope?" Lizzy asked looking straight up at Hope.
"I never did that, and that is because you were my friend. We always kept each others secrets. Didn't we?"
"Yeah, I guess we were really good friends back then."
The bell rang. Hope took a seat near Lizzy so that they could talk while the teacher was going over the pieces of paper that were sitting on their desks'.
Lizzy and Hope exchanged their class schedules. They noticed that they had all seven classes together. Hope started wondering what would happen tomorrow with her and Lizzy. She also wondered if she had any classes with her sister Jessie.
It wasn't hard to find Jessie. She was wearing a pink and black miniskrit and a halter top. Hope was suprised when she didn't get in trouble.
Jessie wasn't exactly like her sister, but she was close enough. People could tell that they were related. Hope wanted to see what class Jessie had next. They ended up having the same class.
Hope remembered the dark outline she that morning. She knew exactly what the outline looked like. Only the outline. It was a guy, tall. That is all she could see.
"You were up past bedtime weren't you, Hope?" She heard a voice say.
Then she looked around her there was only a knew kid that she had never seen before. She wondered about him all day, during lunch she went into the office and asked Mrs. Lee who the knew kid the Sophmore class was.
"Why do you want to knew Hope?" Mrs. Lee asked with suspicion.
"I just want to because I haven't had him in any of my classes." Hope said looking at Mrs. Lee.
"Okay, Hope, his name is Zachary, but everytime his father spoke to him he called him Fang. Which I thought was weird, but you might not think that, that was weird."
"Thank you so much Mrs. Lee. Do you happen to know what class he has next?"
Mrs. Lee handed Hope a copy of Zacharys' schedule. Hope ran out of the office and to her next class. She noticed that Zachary was in her class. She looked at his schedule and saw that he was in that class. He looked over at her.
He was taller than her last boyfriend. He had dark brown eyes almost black. His hair was long and covered his face. In her opinion he had perfect lips. The teacher called roll. When she got to his name he didn't answer. The teacher asked him what he'd like to be called.
"I prefer to be called, Fang." he said it with a straight face.
The teacher went on with calling roll. When she was done, she started telling everyone what this class was about. It was BIOLOGY. Hope kept looking over at Fang. He caught him staring at him a couple of times.
As soon as that class was over, she walked out and almost ran into him.
"Hi, I'm Zachary, but you can call me Fang." he looked at her with his amazing black eyes.
"Hi, I'm Hope." she said looking up to him.
Hope walked off with her friend Brandy. They walked to their fifth period which was gym. They hated it.
"So Hope, do you like that knew kid, Zachary?" Brandy asked.
"I think that I do. He is really sweet. We have fourth period together." Hope said with a smile.
Brandy, Hope's best friend. They had been best friends ever since Hope and Lizzy stopped hanging out together. Brandy was exactly like Hope. They listened to the same type of music, and they were into the same stuff. Werewolves, and vampires were their biggest things that they were into.
"Hope, I saw you hanging out with Lizzy Red earlier. What was that all about?" asked Brandy.
"I really don't know." said Hope said looking kind of confused.
They just sat there during gym refusing to do anything. Then the bell for early lunch rang. They gathered up their stuff and walked down to the building. Hope set her stuff down.
Then she saw Fang. She looked at him for a minute. Then turned away. Fang saw her, and he walked over to her.
"Hey, Hope. How was your class?" Fang asked walking with her back to where her stuff was sitting.
"Not bad at all, but I think that I am going to get a schedule change." She said sitting down, as Fang sat next to her.
"That's good to hear. So, who is this?" he asked pointing to Brandy.
"That is Brandy. She is my best friend." she said hugging Brandy.
After Hope got home she went to her room and fell asleep. The sound of her mothers voice awoke her. She walked down into ketchen. Her sisters were already at sitting at the table. Hope sat down.
"Hope, how was your day?" her mother asked.
"Ummmm......well it was okay, I guess."Hope looked down at her plate.
Jessie looked at her with a smile. Their mom got up to answer the phone.
"Yeah, Hope, did you have good day. Who was that boy that you were talking to earlier during lunch today?" Jessie said.
"You were talking to guy during lunch, sissy?" April asked as soon as their mother walked back into the room.
"Yes, I was talking a guy during lunch! His name was Fang." Hope said getting irritated.
She ran up to her room and slamed the door. Then she grabbed the phone and called her daddy. "Of course" she thought he didn't answer.
There was a knock at her door.
"Hope, can I come in? I really need you to talk to you." Jessie said at the door.
"Yeah, sure. Hang on a minute though." Hope said getting off her bed and walking over to the door to unlock it.
She opened the door and looked at her younger sister with confusion.
"Why did you get so irritated when we started talking about who you were with at lunch time? We didn't mean to upset you, Hope."
"It's okay, Jessie. It's just well Dad said that I could call him whenever I needed to. Do you remember my dad saying that?"
"Yeah, I do the last time that he was here visting you."
"Well, I, called my dad when I got home, and it went to voicemail. That upsets me a lot considering what he said." Hope almost starting to cry.
Jessie closed the door, because she knew when Hope started to cry that it was better if you just left her alone.
"Hey, Hope. How are you? I know that you are probably wondering who I am, aren't you? I'm going to tell you one little thing stay away from, Fang! He still belong's to me! No matter what Fang and I will always be together. "
Fang was waiting at Hope's locker when she got there.
"Fang, I have to ask you a question." Hope said avoiding his glance, and opening her locker.
"Okay. Ask anything that you want." Fang said.
"Do you know anyone that has beautiful long blond hair, crystal blue eyes?" She asked looking straight at him.
"Yeah I did, but she died along time ago. She was my girlfriend. Her name was Krystal. Why do you ask?" As soon as he said that the bell rang to go to class.
Hope couldn't focuse. Her dream bothered the hell out of her. During lunch she called her mother and told her to call the teachers that she was going home.
When she got home she straight to her room and went to sleep.
I thought I told you to stay away from him!! Stay away from him, or else!!
Hope awoke to the sound of her mother calling her from down stairs. She didn't know what time it was. So she scarmbled to find her cell phone.
"Hope, sweetie are you okay?" her mother called from down stairs.
"Yeah, Mom. I'm fine. Just a little sick to my stomach." Hope yelled down to her mom.
Hope went down to the kitchen. The smell of mash potatoes and gravy filled the house. Her mom was in good mood. Which made Hope even more sick to her stomach. She never could stomach people in a good mood.
"Hope, why did you leave school early?" Jessie asked setting the table.
"I wans't feeling so well." Hope said helping her finish setting the table.
Hope sat down next to Kate. Kate looked at her big sister and got a very sad look on her face.
"Katiebug, what is wrong?" Hope asked looking down at her little sister.
"Mine and April's dad called today." Kate said putting her little arms around Hope.
"Oh, baby girl what did he say?" Hope asked hugging her little sisters.
"He said that we weren't going to be able to go see him this weekend." Kate said as she started to cry.
"I'm so sorry you guys." Hope said as she looked down at the two crying girls.
That night Fang called, her mother answered it "I'm sorry, but she can not come to the phone." Her mother said before hanging up on him.
Hope stuck her head out of her bedroom door and yelled,"Mom who was it?"
"No one honey, wrong number." Her mother yelled from the living room.
Hope got her cell phone and called Fang.
"Hey, Fang, did you call my house?"
"Yeah, I did.Your mother said you couldn't come to the phone. What's going on?" Fang asked.
"Meet me at the vacant house down the road. We'll talk there. Call Brandy and tell her to bring Brad with her." Hope hanging up before Fang could say anything else.
Hope was already there by the time the rest of them got there.
"Does your mom know where you are, Hope?" Brad asked hugging her.
"Ummm....yeah...no, and NOBODY is going to let her know where I am, tonight right?" Hope asked looking right at Brad.
Brandy and Brad had been together for along time. Brad really loved Brandy.
"Okay lets get started shall we?" Hope asked the others.
They all looked at Fang. Who just stared right back at them. He could that they wanted to know who Krystal was.
"Okay, Fang, who is Krystal? We wante the whole story." Brandy said sitting down on mat on the floor.
"Okay, ya'll want to know the whole story? Well here it is: A long time ago, I was with Krystal we had it all, creepy house, graveyard in our backyard, we had it made. Well this guy called Eagle came to us. We needed his help and in return he turned us into something we both loved and wanted to become. Vampires. Only what didn't know at the time was that Krystal was pregant. Well she wanted to be turned back into a human to have our baby, but when Eagle turned her back she died having our son. Our son died also. So I came back to the place that I grew up. No one reconigzed me, which was a good thing. I enrolled into school to get the education that I never got when I was younger. Then I met you Hope. Even though I feel like I have known you for many, many years." Fang stopped talking so that would all sink into them.
"You feel like you already know me? How is that possible?" Hope asked looking into Fangs eyes.
"I don't know. You even look fimiliar.Like Degona. She was my girlfriend until I met Krystal."
"Is that why Krystal knows me, Fang? She has been coming into my dreams alot lately." Hope asked holding her head.
"Yes I do believe that is why. Can you try to talk to her when your awake? Maybe it can help me tell her that I love you know not her."Fang said walking over to Hope.
"I will at school. Now we have to go. Our parents will be looking for us. We've been gone for about three hours now." Hope said standing and walking over to the door.
At school Hope met up with Brandy, Fang, and Brad.
"She came to me agian last night after I went home. She said that she was going to kill me if I got anywhere near you again."She said as Fang tryied to hug her.
During first class Hope and Fang sat in the back so that they could talk.
"What did she say, Hope?" Fang asked looking at her.
"That she was coming back to get you, and that if I don't stay away from you that she promises that she will kill me." Hope said turning to face him.
Fang turned away from Hope. He didn't speak to her for the rest of the class.
"Brandy, what are you doing this weekend?" Hope asked catching up with Brandy.
"Nothing I guess. Why?" Brandy said taking Hope's arm and leading her outside.
"Well, because I was wondering if you wanted to come over this weekend."
