I got up and walked out the door and I realized that James was still with me so I stopped in the hall to let him catch up… I don’t know why because I always kinda thought he was a little annoying.
        “Your not gonna faint again… are you?” He asked a little sarcastically probably just to lighten my mood.
        “I hope not…” I muttered quietly, I hope he didn’t hear that….
        “Haha, yeah… I can’t believe you were out for an entire 4 hours!” James started laughing a bit. So I stopped once more, he was getting annoying again.
“How?” I simply asked. This question seemed to catch him off guard, like I had just accused him of his darkest secret, and his reply was kinda shocking to me because of his tone. He sounded intense and worried.
“Uh…what do you mean…?”
“I mean, how did you hear what I said? I said it so quietly that even I could barely hear myself.” He looked absolutely blank, he didn’t move at all… not one centimeter. So I went on.                                         
“And why are your eyes brown? I could’ve sworn they were… yellow in your car? And what is with the creepy twitching and your weird expressions?” I stared at him, waiting for him to move but he didn’t. The bell rang for lunch but I just stayed there looking at him suspiciously, people flooded the halls but neither of us moved. I raised my eyes brows at him but he didn’t even flinch.
“Just never mind…never mind.” I turned and walked away, pretty frustrated and whispered, “What are you?” under my breath. I knew he could hear me, and I wished that someday he would answer.
Home
        I was too dazed to do much after I got home, tomorrow was Friday which was going to be great! I have disliked this week, though I don’t know why… or entirely why. I mean the fainting incident wasn’t the highlight of my week but other then that has been pretty normal. Well, actually normal isn’t a good word for what I was trying to explain, I should’ve have said something like fine or abnormal. Anyway, now I know that there is something up with Jacob… I mean I think I had a pretty good idea when I was accusing him of what he does on a normal bases and I’m definitely prepared to confront him tomorrow. But for now I would just have to suck it up and try not to guess what he is. So I decided to do things that occupied my mind just because I didn’t want my brain to run wild and free, so I studied.
        Yes that’s right, I studied to my hearts content and longer, I studied until my mom came home, and studied until 10:00pm my bedtime. I even dreamt of math equation, science vocabulary and Shakespeare, which is way better then dreaming of what I’ve been avoiding all night, James. Unfortunately I’m not going to be able to resist the thought for long because he’ll probably be at school today, but at least today’s Friday.
        I woke up in the morning with a headache from my own personal class last night, but at least I’ll be prepared for the test today… if we have one today. I wouldn’t know because I was in the nurse’s office all day yesterday, yeah that’s right, I still haven’t gotten over that. But today I was determined to find out what James really is… if he isn’t human, I don’t know for sure if he is something different or if he just has some kind of disorder… but he doesn’t really seem to have a disorder, to me that is.  
 

Biology is always my first subject. Biology is always my least favorite subject. Biology is always science with a fancy name. And biology is always the class that James comes in late to. Oh biology… why do you have to always be my first subject? And today I wish I could’ve just skipped biology. Let my explain… so I was just sitting there minding my own business, making my desk neat when he came right up to me- 4 minutes before class started- and took a deep breath then sat next to me. Weird, so, so, so, so, so, so weird. Why did he take a deep breath? Why, oh, Why!?  But the weirder thing was that he took the breath in through his nose… as if he smelled something really good. I looked at him when he sat down, he was looking at me so I quickly looked forward again using my peripheral vision to see if he was still looking at me and (thankfully) he wasn’t but his ear was twitching, and he had that strange expression on his face again.
        “DING DING DING!” The bell sounded at last. Biology was finally over! Thank goodness! I made it through all his constant stares and his twitching…his twitching mostly because that just creeps me out. I hurried to put my text book back in my backpack, darted to the door and into the hall way, I succeed in my quick escape. Haha! I’d like to see him try and chase me down now!!!
I really need to learn to quit when I’m ahead.
        “Gotta love biology huh?” James said while he walked next to me.
        “Haha yeah…” I replied awkwardly. What was this guy’s problem? Why can’t he just leave me alone? Then I remembered something.
Slowly I glanced up at him… he was looking at me (of course) and his eyes… weren’t yellow, but a brown… a dark brown. Huh, that’s weird… maybe I just imaged the strange color… but the thing is, how could I mistake dark brown for a bright yellow?  I hadn’t noticed I had stopped because I was so deep in thought but the next thing I knew a hand was being waved in front of my face and I heard someone saying my name.
“Elizabeth? Hello?” Said a too familiar voice, James. I blinked back into focus, I was in the nurse’s office but she wasn’t there. “She’ll be back in a minute, she’s getting more ice.” He said.
All I could do is look at him, how are his eyes brown right now? Contacts? No I don’t know why he would get contacts. Maybe the light was bad?
“Your eyes….” I blurted without thinking. His eyes flashed to the window behind me then back to my face.
“Ummm… what about them?” He asked carefully.
“Their….their…” Is all I could say before the nurse came back in with a sack of ice.
“Oh good your awake.” She said when she had spotted me. “How do you feel? Nauseous? Hot, Cold?”
“I feel fine.” I got up and turned my head from side to side, why am I so stiff? I looked at the clock hoping time was still on my side. It wasn’t. 1:45 it read… oh josh… right now I should be in my last class, then lunch. Was I really out for that long? 4 hours? No, I couldn’t believe it, I wouldn’t believe it, 4 whole entire hours couldn’t have passed already… could it? I was about to ask when the nurse guessed my thoughts.
“Yes honey, you have been unconscious for about four hours. I don’t really understand why you had passed out, were you not feeling good after your first class? It might have been only a headache at the time.” The nurse pressed.
“No, I felt fine.” I assured her
“Ok then dear, you can go back to class.” She instructed, and then just went about her normal routine, I guessed.
 

School
        I pulled in the parking lot earlier then I had expected there was no one there except some teachers and janitors. So to waste some time I began to draw in one of my notebooks, nothing really in particular just some squiggles and scribbles. Suddenly there was a strange noise so I looked up, it was just one of the janitors rolling a garbage bin to the dumpster, but the weird part was that when I looked back down, my picture looked like a scene that I had recently seen, there was ( what looked like) snow, in a big wide open meadow, and there was this one little detail that I noticed that made me remember where this scene had come from, a figure was standing pretty far away from the perspective of the picture. My dream.
        What startled me after that was the tap on my window that I hadn’t expected; it made me jump so high I almost hit my head on the top of my car. I looked up to see who it was which shocked me even more, James was standing outside my door laughing so hard  that I thought he was going to stop breathing.
“Wow, you get scared easily, don’t you?” He said when he finally clamed down.
“Only sometimes.” I told him trying extremely hard not to sound annoyed, which is easier when I’m not freezing my butt off. He smiled wider. “Can I help you with something?” I let a smidge of annoyance sneak in there.
“Not really… just checking to see if you were still alive.” James smiled more, clearly still not over my almost stroke.
“Well… I am…” I said pretending to look occupied while I gathered my stuff trying now extremely hard not to sound rude.
“Yeah, I can see that.” He stepped back just as I turned to open the door… a little strange if you ask me because I didn’t show any sign that I was going to get out but I didn’t really care too much to ask. So I got out and started to walk towards the school he didn’t follow me which I was kind of glad about, I still didn’t understand why he had knocked on the window and I really wanted to know why but after a little while I decided that I was obsessing to much over something so stupid and I dropped the idea.

 chapter 4My Dream
        I was walking in a field of snow. The pastor seemed as though it was never ending, there was nothing but the ice and myself. Suddenly a figure started to appear a couple yards in front of me, I couldn't make out who it was, which was weird because I usually have very good eye sight. I started to walk towards him, but the more I went the farther away I was from him. Then the sky turned an odd shade of gray- the color gray that wasn't supposed to be the sky- and the man that I so wanted to go to, disappeared into the snow.
        I woke with a start. I glanced sideways at my clock, it read 1:00am. Ugh. I'm not sure if I was still tired, but I wanted to go back to sleep anyway to see the person in my dream. So I tried and I tried but I just couldn't get myself to sleep. Eventually I gave up and looked at the clock again, 3:31am, good. 3:30 is a good time to wake up- well better then 1:00. So I sluggishly went down stairs and got some rice crispy cereal, I love the kind of cereal. It tastes so good! I love the way it crinkles, sorry... that was off topic. Anyway... after my cereal I got changed and brushed my teeth, you know the usually. 4:00am is when I was finally relaxed and settled in to my everyday clothes, I couldn't really think of anything to do, so I decided to check my homework again just to make sure I got everything correct. I know... I'm a geek; you don't have to tell me.
        When 7:00 finally came, I was about to die of boredom, like literally, I was sitting in front of the clock for about 2 hours just staring at it until it said seven o' clock. So at that moment I jerked up and bolted for the door yelling "Bye Mom!" and flew to my car to get in. I had packed everything that I needed including 14 extra pencils and pens and 2 new notebooks, I was definitely prepared for whatever the day threw at me but little did I know that I wouldn’t need any of that stuff… but I will get to that later.

Chapter 2 At lunch I sat at my normal table- a round one, right in the middle of the room- with my friends Mary, Eliza, Victoria, and Jane. We talked about the usual teenage girl stuff, but also an extra topic that Victoria brought up. 
“So what do you think of the new kid?" She asked when we were all silent, something that rarely happens at our table. I looked over at the table that he usually sits at along with his poesy- Jason, Nick, Brandon, and Edwin-. He appeared to be laughing with his pals but their was something about his expression that made me think that he was bothered by like... I don't know... a loud noise I guess... he just looked slightly irritated and his ear looked like it was twitching a little. But Mary suddenly intercepted my observations by saying
"I don't care about him." There was a trace of hatred in her voice, classic Mary.
"I kind of agree, just I'm saying it nicer." Jane agreed, she was always polite
"I guess so...” Victoria shrugged; I wonder if she noticed the same thing I did.” What about you Elizabeth?" I looked at Victoria, thought for a second then agreed just for the sake of argument and lunch was over.

 Chapter1     You walked in late to class, I don't know why but you always have ever since you moved here 2 weeks ago. What I also don't know why someone would want to move to Amanda, Ohio, but with a population of 717 I guess it wouldn't hurt if we got a few more people. Anyway today is December 2nd and it’s a Wednesday, the middle of the week, two more days till the weekend. Huff, I wish it could come. This week-so far- has been really boring sometimes.        
      When class started I sat forward and took my text book out, all ready for biology. Mr. Pats was talking about some chemical and what it does when you walked in, right in the middle of his sentence. The class wasn't too disturbed because they had already gotten used to him, but I was, I don’t know why… maybe it’s the way he acts because he doesn’t act like most students. Most students if they walked in late, they would apologize but he just walks in and takes his seat, not looking at the rest of us, just focusing on his table and his new friend Jason. How rude. I mean he doesn't even look like he did anything wrong, he actually looks like he had just done something amazing and we should celebrate. Or maybe that’s just me. Maybe I'm the only who notices him like that. Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway. What does matter is that James is...odd, I can't put my figure on it but something about him is... different. I know it.

PrologeI never knew I could take on the truth so easily. I thought I would have at least fainted or screamed when I found out. But there was nothing. Not one emotion of fright nor sorrow crept over me, and I hope they never will. I don't what to be scared of him, I mean he has always been this way and telling me won't make him different. At least I hope it won't.
