I went through school in a daze. I don't remember anything the teachers said. The only thing I do remember is Nicholas watching me like I was a bomb ready to go off. Then by the end of the day he got Andrew, Allison, Micheal, Tiffany, Robert, and Dawn doing it as well.When I noticed all of them staring as the parking lot I got mad and yelled. "Why do you keep staring at me like I'm fragile?!" I shouted at them. "It's not the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me! SO WHAT! Nathan's coming after me! BIG FREAKING DEAL!"
Micheal never heard me yell like that before so he laughed at me. Which got me laughing and soon all the others were laughing as well.
When we got home I was ambushed by Rachael. "Oh honey" she said as she pulled me into a bone crushing hug. "Are you OK?"
"NO!" I gasped out."I...Can't...Breath!"
She blushed "Sorry. Are you alright?"
"Yes," I said. "It's not the first time my life has been altered by vampires and I'm sure it won't be the last."
Despite Nicholas fit, I ate dinner at home before the game. Then we got ready for the game. I fixed my hair and they had to get stuff to make them look human. When we were ready Nicholas, Tiffany, Micheal, and me got in my car (Nicholas drove again). While everyone else, including Donald and Rachael, got in the Hummer.
When we got to the football Field I went to leave to go meet with the other cheerleaders. Nicholas grabbed a hold of my arm and spun me around. I feel into him and felt his body move as he chuckled.
"Well what did you do that for" I asked irritated.
"So I could do this" he said as he grabbed my chin and pulled it towards his face. He kissed me with his passionate kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and put my fingers in his hair.
When we heard someone clear their throat we parted. I put my head on his chest so no one could see me blush. He kissed the top of my head and squeezed me tight. When I was sure my face was back to it's normal color I pulled away from him and looked into his eyes.
"I haven't told you lately that I love you. Me kissing you that way shows you and every one else that I love you and always will" he said.
When he said that I heard awes come from Rachael, Tiffany, Dawn, and Allison, while the guys groaned at him.
"I love you too. But right now I have to go! I'll see you at half-time" I said then ran to the meeting place.
By half-time we were winning 21-7. So everyone was in a good mood. Specifically me, I sat on Nicholas lap eating a candy bar as the band performed their half-time show.
I felt really safe for the moment until I felt someone staring at me. I looked around to see where it was coming from. That's when i noticed a new face in the crowd. He has blond hair in spikes under the hood of his hoodie. His face is pale and stunning, his grin stretched from ear to ear, and he has BLACK eyes! I tensed up and Nicholas felt it. He squeezed me tight so I looked away from the beauty and towards Nicholas.
"Are you OK" he asked with a look of concern on his face.
I stole a glance to where the beauty was...he was gone. "Yeah I'm fine. Just upset because the second half is starting" I lied. `I must've imagined him' I thought. `Or Nicholas would've seen him'.
I cheered through the second half absent-minded. I only noticed something big when I was being pulled onto the football field to the circle of football players for the annual chant. The other cheerleaders put me by my ex-boyfriend Daniel. After the chant he grabbed me and pulled me to the side.
"Nikki" he started to look nervous. "I know I messed up big time between us, but could you ever give me another chance?"
"A second chance? Are you serious?! Daniel I caught you cheating on me! I don't want to talk about this. I have a boyfriend remember?!" I yelled at him. I was so mad I stormed straight to my car and waited there for the others to show up.I thought about everything that Daniel and I went through.
It was sophomore year and I was the new girl. Daniel was assigned to show me around. We instantly connected and a few weeks later we were boyfriend and girlfriend. I went from the new girl and least popular to being the most popular in less than a month.
I thought he was the one. We were inseparable and everyone thought we were going to be together forever. He was my first kiss and love. He made me feel special.
It was the beginning of our junior year. Nicholas was the new kid. It was my job to tutor him so he could catch up. We got finished early so I thought I would surprise Daniel by going to his house. When I got there I noticed a strange car in his driveway. I knocked on his door and when he answered it he was half dressed with another girl hanging all over him. He knew he was busted, he apoligized but I couldn't stand there and listen to his annoying apoligizes. I jumped in my car and drove home.
When I got home Nicholas was in front of my house. He had on eof my books in his arm. I don't know how it happened but hehad me in his arms and I was crying on his chest. When I was finished his t-shirt was soaked and I was apologizing. He became my boyfriend, then he became my true love. I knew that Nicholas was my ture love because everytime I look in his eyes there's something there that Daniel never had. Nolan has love for me in his eyes.
When Nicholas and his family showed up we hung out until the line of cars disappeared. We talked about the wheather and the game. Nicholas had his arm over my shoulder and I was holding his hand. I noticed that Daniel hadn't gotten in his car yet to drive away. He stood by his car and was staring at NIcholas and me. I then leaned in and kissed Nicholas on his cheek, when Ilooked back to Daniel he was in his car and was speeding off.
We were finally the only people, well ones, left in the parking lot. I sighed releived that we would be leaving soon. We stood there in silence for a while.
"Even though this is so much fun, I'm hungry so I think we are going to leave" Andrew said grabbing Allisons hand. "Unless you would like for us to bite Nikki."When he said this Nicholas growled. "I was just kidding" he said as he and Allison were running into the night.
I yawned not realizing I was tired. Nicholas put me in the car. While he was walking around to get in Dawn and Robert jumped in the back seat. WHen Nicholas finally got in I grabbed his hand, he kissed my hand then started to drive. As he was driving my eyes started to droop and before I knew it I was asleep.
I had a nightmare, the beauty from the game was in it. He stood in front of me smiling his wicked smile. He stood there with his hand out for me to grab. THe sky behind him was blood red. On the ground behind him were the bodies of Nicholas and Rachel. All around me were his goons and they were holding Donald, Micheal, Tiffany, Allison, Dawn and Robert. They were ready to kill them, my family, my life was going to end.
