Is this good so far?????????????
Chapter 1
“Ooh! Look at this one,” Alex exclaimed happily. I looked at the pair of shoes she was holding up. They were pink with yellow polka dots. Not my style at all. “Those are nice!” I said sarcastically. “Yeah… They would suit you well.” Rena, added. “I happen to like them.” Gretchen said. “Katlin, I know you want that book but you could at least say things like you mean it.” Alex said. It was Saturday afternoon and we were shopping for our back to school clothes. I was ok with the clothes shopping but my main reason for wanting to go was to get the latest book in this vampire romance series I like. “Sorry, it’s just I’ve been waiting for so long! They’re so amazing you would have thought a real vampire wrote them!” I said in my happy voice. “Oh dear, look what you did! Now we won’t hear the end of it until she gets the book.” Rena said, pretending to be upset. I gave her my, be quiet or I’ll kill you look but then laughed. “Hah! You can never keep a straight face when you look at me!” She declared, victoriously. I wasn’t paying attention anymore because I started thinking about J.K. the author of The Darkest Hour series. (A.k.a. the vampire series I love so much) “See we lost her! Just go and get your book already. Meet us at the food court at 1:15.” Rena said. I quickly came back from my vampire world at the last part of Rena’s sentence. “Ok! Catch up with you later!” I said, practically running out of the store.
After walking a few minutes I finally reached my destination, the book store. I walked inside trying to hide my excitement. I walked up to the counter and waited for the clerk to help me. “May I help you?” he asked. “Yes, my name is Katlin Reynolds and I’m here to pick up my reserved copy of the fifth book in The Darkest Hour series.” “Just one moment please.” He answered. I stood there, tapping my foot impatiently. “Here it is,” he said after looking for a few minutes, “that will be twenty dollars please.” I pulled out my wallet and took out twenty bucks. “Here you go” I said as I gave him the money. “Thanks, come again.” He said. Man, I hate how they have that stupid script they have to follow. It gets so annoying. I started thinking about the book I had just gotten. I can’t wait to start reading it!! All of a sudden, I walked into something no wait someone! My bag with the book in it fell to the ground and so did I. I looked up at the person I had just walked into. Dark black hair, blue eyes, and really pale. I just stared at the punk beauty before me. That didn’t stop me from being pissed. “Are you all right?” he asked, putting his hand out. I just glared at him and stood up by myself. “I’m fine.” I said, annoyed. He bent down and picked the bag up and the book. He looked at it with interest. “You like the series?” he asked. “And this matters because?” I asked really pissed off now. He started to look annoyed and he should be. I can take care of myself. “Fine then.” He said and he walked away, looking pissed now and more annoyed then he was before. Now I started to feel bad. Damn, I always do this. Why can’t I just accept someone’s offer to help for once?!?! Ring! Ring! Ring! My cell phone went off and I looked at the caller ID. It was Alex, “Yeah?” I said, now upset. “You’re late, where are you?” she asked. “I’m still at the book store, sorry. Be right there.” I hung up before she could say more.
***********************************************************
I watched her walk hastily away from the book store to where ever she was late to. What just happened back there? No one has ever talked to me like that before. This made me really mad that I let her do that. Hell, one more minute talking to her and she would have found out about what I am because I was a second away from breaking that little neck of hers. I started walking towards the mall exit. “Hey dude, wait for me!” I stopped and turned to look at Drew. “What happened to meeting up in a half an hour.” He asked angrily. “Sorry, I was trying to help someone for god only knows why and what does she do? Acts like a total bitch.” “Really? Did you show her who’s boss?” he asked with curiosity. I debated on whether I should tell him that I let her basically walk all over me . I decided it wouldn’t hurt seeing as how I would never see her again. “No.” I said. “Why didn’t you?” he asked honestly confused. “I don’t know, it was really weird.” We started walking in silence. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. God, she made me so mad and I don’t even know her name! Thank God, I’ll never see her again.
