''How do I look?'' I chirped twirling around in my short plaited skirt and a blue crop top that showed more skin than I would like to admit.

Tylor stuffed his phone into his back pocket and looked up at me with a sigh. He sized me for a good two minutes practically eye raping me.

''So? How do I look?'' I asked again.

'' Horrible but sadly better than the sweatshirts and sneakers you always wear. '' He simply stated. His expression smug. My lips formed a thin line.

'' Whoa, someone is in a good mood today.'' Sarcasm pouring out as I spoke.

''I'm sorry Sky. I just hate school especially on a Monday like this. '' He huffed running his hands through his hair then shaking it a little.

I perfectly understood him. Sometimes I wish everyday was Saturday.

''You know, we could skip class today if you want.'' I suggested.

He smiled showing off his perfectly white teeth.

''No, Love. Its fine.........''

Tylor seized my arm and pulled me closer to his chest drawing a curtain of my hair behind my ear. He then placed a chaste kiss on my temple.

''You look beautiful in that skirt anyways....But you would look more irresistible if you didn't have it on'' he smirked, amusement dancing in his eyes.

'' Naughty...'' I chuckled then playfully smacked his arm.

Tylor never misses the opportunity to hit on a girl, even me, his best friend but he never dates, like never. Tylor practically dreads commitment so he has never had an actual “girlfriend”. He just messes around with girls and that's all.

''Mom! I'm on my way. Don't bother taking me. I would be driving to school with Tylor!'' I shouted across the living room as I toppled down the stairs with Tylor following closely behind. Mom didn't answer but I guess she heard.

The drive to school was silent with Manuel's 'Remind Me To Forget' playing coolly through the radio. I noticed that Tylor's knuckles had turned pale because he gripped the wheels too hard.

He was really good looking. I wouldn't deny that. The hazel curls that hung loosely on his head had been cropped down a little at his sides. I watched the morning sun slip through his long eyelashes then harshly hit his orbs making his green pupils gleam ever so brightly. No man can make green look as sexy as he does. His chiseled jaw held a stern look that commanded authority and dominance. Tylor's pink full lips parted a little, this is something he did whenever he drove. It was kinda his pensive mode. He was good looking and he knew it. In fact, the whole school population knew this. Cliché enough, you could refer to him as everyone's crush.

''It's rude to stare, you know?'' He chuckled his eyes still locked on the road ahead.

''I- I wasn't.....'' I stammered trying to hide my flushed face behind my jet black hair.

''Cute..” I heard him mutter under his breath.

His red, plush Ferrari hummed to a halt in 'his' parking space.

Yeah, he even has his own personal parking space and no one dares violate his territory.

We bouldered down the hallway fully aware of the numerous eyes that bored holes into our skin. Every girl wanted to date him and every guy wanted to be him. Sadly, we barely have any class together so we spend most of the day away for each other.

''Skyyyy!'' I heard my name being called out in this tiny squeaky voice.

Oh here comes the slut.

'' Chloe, how do you do? You look so.......''

I just couldn't find the right words. I wouldn't say beautiful because I just can't lie to the poor child.

''........so different... In a good way though...'' I fake smiled. She exchanged the gesture with a horrible toothy grin of her own.

She was the porcelain doll of the school with her bright blonde hair, dangerously high heels and caked makeup face. She decked up so much that she was drifting a little bit to the ugly side.

She engulfed me into a tight hug. Unfortunately for me though her makeup smudged across my top leaving brown powdery traces all over.

Fuck...

Her eyes landed on Tylor.

''Oh my, Tylor, I didn't realize you were here .''

Oh Gooodd, her voice is so annoying.

I couldn't help the eye roll. She knew very well he was there. Heck, the only reason she was being nice to me was because of Tylor, using me as the surest way to get with Tylor.

So cheap!

She flaunted her whole body on him not even being discrete about it.

''....urmm....I was thinking if you would be free tonight so maybe we could ......'' She slurred

She slowly roamed her fingers along his jaw then to his chest.

''.....see a movie or you know, do whatever you want us to do...'' Then winked.

Tylor had his hands gripping firmly on her waist and Chloe had her arms wound around his neck leaning in for a kiss.

''Urmmm......Tylor?,Its time for our class. We are already running late...'' I quickly lied.

Sky to the rescue!!!!!

Tylor caught up to my plan.

'' Oh yeah, yeah, almost forgot. Let's make it later yah?'' Chloe's face fell.

Disappointment creased on her forehead.

She shot me a glance and sized me through her contact lenses. I forced a smile.

''Sure. Anything for you Tylor...'' She slithered, turned sharply on her heels and left.

I looked straight at Tylor with my arms folded around my bust with a 'what the hell do you think you were doing' expression on my face.

'' Whaaat?...its not my fault she had very soft breasts and it's also not my fault she found me attractive...'' He defended, arms raised in surrender.

'' Every girl is attracted to you,Tylor.'' I shook my head in disbelief and started stalking off.

He took hasty strides until he was side by side falling into sync with my steps.

'' Yeah, I know that but I don't care about every other girl. I care about you, Sky''

Now, he stood right in front of me blocking my path. His curls fell onto his face but he made no effort to tame them. It made him look hotter.

'' But I've always wondered why you are not attracted to me like how I would have loved you to....''

Huh?....how he would have wanted me to? What did he mean by that?

I sighed.

''I am attracted to you but just not the way they do. Look, I know so many disgusting things about you that I feel we have something more than just teenage infatuations. Oh God, Tylor, I know that when ever you eat tacos your fart has this oniony scent to it. I know that you have a terrible phobia for thunder storms and can never sleep through a storm. I also know that you had a crush on Amanda since sixth grade but that immediately disappeared when you caught her picking her nose under the desk one time. I love you so much that I can't love you like everyone else.........''

Its true. I once had a deep crush on Tylor but that happened a long time ago. Probably in the fifth grade or something but I'm over that now.

I brought my hands to his face and kissed the top of his nose on my tip toes. Something flashed in his eyes but it didn't stay long enough for me to find out what it was.

He pulled me in for a hug. He is a good 6ft'2 so me being the midget, I had my head on his chest.

'' I love you so much.'' His words were muffled in the crook of my neck.

'' Me too Tylor, me too.......''

***************************

I stood in the washroom trying to get rid of the stain Chloe left on my shirt when I caught a glimpse of my eyes.

In the mirror, I realized my very grey eyes had even turned duller than usual. Tylor always complimented my eyes because it reminded him of almonds on a rainy day, his favourite nuts but I on the other hated them because they were just too grey. Such a sad colour. Why couldn't they be green like Tylor's.

Sometimes people would stop me in the market and ask if I wore glasses or if I was blind.

That was just the first of my insecurities.

Tylor says I have a banging body, whatever that means. I know he just says this so I don't feel too bad about my self. My hips are too wide, my butt is too big, I'm a little over busty. I know, you might think that's a good thing but oh no its not.

You never get clothes your size. I'm not overweight if that's what you are thinking but I just want to fit in like everyone else.

This probably sounds like a girl with insecurities that gets the guy in the end anyways. Well, sorry to burst your condoms but this is not like a story you read in novels, this is my life, something real. I just wish I could love myself better than the way Tylor loves me.

    I can't believe Tylor ditched me. So now I would have to walk home alone. I called his line like a hundred and one times but nothing. It went straight to voicemail.I went to the parking lot and his reserved space was empty.Unbelievable!!!I'm really going to give him a piece of my mind....no like a huge chunk of my mind when I get a hold of him.He might be training on the tracks with the basketball team or probably hooking up with some random girl.I just hope its not the latter.The walk home was long and agonizing although my house was like ten minutes away from the school but as lazy as I am it seemed like a whole hour.The road was silent with no car or a soul moving up or going down it. I was left alone with my thoughts and tall almost dried up trees at both sides of the path.I didn't know what crept me out more, those weird looking trees or my thoughts.I always caught certain movements at the corner of my eyes but when I turned around I saw nothing. A cold breeze blew acros

    ''Ms. Reiser, we checked the whole neighborhood and there was no sign of any suspicious man but we would be patrolling around for the next month or so just to make sure that he doesn't try anything again. Don't be too alarmed maybe its just a couple of teenagers playing a joke on you.''Tylor faced me with an 'I told you so' expression.Relief filled my chest after the Sheriff's lecture.''Thanks so much Sheriff Troffer-'' Tylor took his hand into a handshake.''Oh please just Troffer would do.'' He corrected then looked at me and winked.Huh? Was he hitting on me? Eww, he was old enough to be my father.************************************I tumbled down the hallway as my eyes glanced over my wrist watch every second. I was terribly late for my most important class of the day.''Sky, Sky, wait up!'' Tylor called out advancing towards.''Tylor, not now. I'm late'' I didn't stop for a second because I had none to spare.''I've never seen you rush for a class before? What class is that?

    I was in this dark place.The woods?Yes. Seems like it. There were so many silhouettes of tree trunks. If only they were actually trees.Darkness and a defeaning silence enveloped me. The silence seemed to be so loud that it muffled the sounds of my beating heart. Owls whooed and bats swooped the air. I couldn't make out much. I don't know why but I wasn't at all sacred.I was alone. At least that's what I thought until the sound of a breaking twig sent all that out in the trash.I became scared suddenly. My short and raspy breaths made me feel more and more dizzy. Then there came a growl right behind me. It was low, menacing. Nothing I've ever heard before. I shuddered, slowly turning to face my predator. I made out a darker silhouette in a shape of a wolf.A wolf?No. It was huge, 10 times larger than a normal wolf. My heart seemed to drop straight into my stomach. I froze, stuck between the present and my past, no idea if I even had a future.The silhouette moved, its mighty paws

    Tylor and I lay on my bed side by side. We had to prepare for a quiz the next day.''What's the twentieth element on the periodic table?'' I heard Tylor ask.'' Calcium'' I answered.There was a brief silence before he spoke again.''You know, your butt really looks good in those bicker shorts.....'' He snickered.''Pervert. Those are not yours so get your hungry eyes off....'' I hissed.''Come over here...'' He suddenly pulled me on top of him and pinched my cheeks.He then rolled over so that I was caged underneath him.''Tell me ‘I'm the hottest guy you've ever seen and that you love me’.'' He demanded with some kind of playful seriousness to it.''I don't want to lie to you, Sweet'' I teased.He looked a bit hurt but quickly covered it up with a chuckle. His hands went up to my sides.'' Then I would have to tickle you till I hear it from your lips.''''Tyyylooor!!....Plea....pleeeaaseee. Stop it. I'm gonna peeeee.'' I giggled.''Just say it!'' He demanded again.''Noooooooo'' I c

    In the bathroom I let the warm water pour down on my skin releasing my ever so knotted muscles. Ruckus out the door caught my attention. I quickly turned off the shower so I could listen better. The house went quiet.I shrugged it off. The moment I decided to turn the shower back on the noise came again, louder this time. It seemed it was coming from the kitchen like someone was ransacking the place.Scared, I slowly got out the bath and wrapped my Berry-pink towel around my body. I stood in my room taking a glance to make sure my room was indeed empty. I reached under my bed for the baseball bat I always kept there.I inhaled sharply as I felt its cold metallic touch against my fingers. I gripped on it hard, like my life depended on it. With each step, the wooden stairs creeked under my feet. I immediately regretted not getting clothed first before trying to act all brave. I gasped as soon as I got to the kitchen, my palm shot up to cover my mouth. Blood drained from my face

    ''Happy Birthday, Sweetheart'' Tylor chimed as soon as I entered his convertible. ''Aww, thanks''''So how does it feel to finally be legal?'' He chirped his eyes on the road.''Meh?...Just the same....''''Oh I see. Being modest, huh?''I smiled.The noisy chaos of school filled my ears. Here once again. Sigh, this scholarly routine exhausted me.''Thanks for the ride Tylor....''''Sure. Enjoy your day! '' He leaned on the steering wheel and shouted across the parking lot as I made my way to class.Just as I entered the class Andrew’s warm smile greeted me.''Happy birthday, Andrew'' I graced engulfing him into a hug.''Thought you would forget...''''Why would I forget'' I pouted.Yeah, I forgot to mention but Andrew and I have the same birthdays. Weird right? Well, not in my case because this coincidence makes it so clear that we were meant for each other.''So what's up for today?'' I asked Andrew as I took a seat besides him.''Well, I was planning to spend the day with yo

    ''Your parents must be really proud of you then....'' I chimed.He shifted his gaze to one of his pottery works immediately I made mention of his parents.'' Yeah, I guess...'' He sighed.I must have hit a sour spot in his heart. Probably they are no more? I really wanted to find out the reason but I didn't want to push things so I let it go.''Even if they are not, I'm proud of you....'' I smiledHe returned the gesture with a smile of his own.''Umm....this is actually not what I wanted to show you...'' He lighted the mood.''That's not all?....'' I beamed so excited.He then sailed past me to a canvas that had been hidden behind a sack cloth. Andrew reached for the material and yanked it from the top.I gasped, my eyes shooting wide.It was a painting of me with a smile, so care free. My eyes seemed like they had never seen sorrow nor pain. This was how I'd look if every thing was perfect.My vision begun to blur. I was tearing up.''This is how I picture you everyday. This is w

    I blinked a few times to make sure I was not hallucinating.''Tylor?.... Wait, What?!....This must be a prank, right?....Please tell me this is just one of your sick jokes''I laughed.Tylor just stood, looking at me with a bored expression on his face.'' Oh wow. You got me there. Hahaha. You really went over the top on this one. Urm, you can untie me now since you clearly won this round.''I chuckled motioning for him to come for the chains.''......you really do think this is a game?...'' Tylor voices , sounding a little pissed.His face was stern. What's happening?'' It is, isn't.....'' I asked unsure. Definitely thrown into confusion.''Haha. Everything has been a game to you right?.....'' His eyes became deranged, sinister.He lashed forward and grabbed my neck, his green eyes filled with this deadly kind of hurt.''Tell me Sky, do you think my love is a game?......'' He gritted.This isn't Tylor, this isn't my Tylor!''Let...Let- go of me. I can't breathe..'' I choked.

    ''The skies-'' ''They are beautiful......'' ''Not as beautiful as you though....'' I looked at him with a glistening look in my eyes. ''Christian?....Are you hitting on me?…'' I laughed. He shrugged lifting his hands up in surrender. ''Urgh! You sick perverted bastard-'' I playfully beamed bumping my fist against his shoulders. He chuckled. ''Maybe I am Sky, maybe I like you...'' He hushed sternly as he drew a curtain of my hair behind my ear. I bit down my lip so confused. Did he just tell me he liked me? What about Katherine? Sometime had passed. A long, long while had passed. It seemed Damian had faded into my memories. Christian was my only confidant and surprisingly we got along very well. With him, I felt all my worries disappear. It was almost as if I liked him back. No- no- He is just helping me get through things. I can't like him. I love Damian. Oh Damian. My love for you grows weary day by day.

    Damian's P.O.V The day of my departure came so fast. I spent the whole night tossing and turning, forcing myself not to barge into her room and crash my lips on hers as though it would have been our last. We know too well who ‘her’ is. Sky, my addiction, my love, my all. Everyone bid their farewells. None mattered because I was waiting to hear Sky's voice, her words of encouragement, maybe a kiss. ''Take good care of yourself ya? Don't give the big guy down there too much stress. Take it easy on the ladies.'' Christian winked and we both fell in a fit of laughter. Naughty boy he is. I didn't miss the change in Sky's expression. I could feel the jealousy radiating off her. I was looking, searching for her desperately. Her tiny frame hid behind the crowd of family with arms folded across her chest making the swell of her breasts look bigger. She looked as beautiful as ever. Our eyes touched for a brief moment, it seemed everyone around us slowly melted into a sea of blur. S

    ''You're getting really good at this Sky'' Connor admonished. He was introduced to me as the Beta of the Gruffslitter pack. Damian's pack. ''Thanks, Connor'' The training begun a few weeks ago and now I already know everything I need to know thanks to Christian and Connor by the way. Since Connor is full wolf he needed a vampire to help him understand what he would be dealing with in the course of our training. I must say they make a very good team. ''You know what I think? I think you are even stronger that your brother, Andrew'' Christian added. ''I'll kick your sorry ass anytime Andrew.....'' I gave him a wink and he instantly chuckled. My eyes trailed on his smile a little longer. I sensed Damian. Heck, I smelt him everywhere. His scent loomed in the air like a toxic gas. I don't know why he bothered to hide behind trees. I knew so well that he came here because of me, watching my every move like a predator ready to pounce on its prey. If he wants to watch I'll give him

    Sky's P.O.V ''Umm...Katherine, have you seen Damian around anywhere? '' I asked a little out of breath after the long walk from the garden to the house. ''He might probably be in his study. I can inform him about your search though? Is something wrong?....'' Katherine answered with mischief gleaming in her eyes whilst rubbing a few non-existent dust specks off the already polished ceramic vase with some Chinese scribblings I didn't know were there before. ''Oh, nothing really. I just wanted to clarify something that's all.'' ''Uh-huh, that was almost believable. Anyways, his study is on the 2nd floor, the last door to your right...'' ''I owe you one, Kat....'' I mused placing a kiss on her cheeks and squeezing her tight. I heard her mumble something about me owing her more than a thousand as I trudged past her hurriedly racing up the flight of stairs taking it two by two. I almost tripped on the last pair but thankfully no one was there to witness it. That would have been quite

    The day went slow, not as how I expected at all. Weirdly, the thought of Andrew kept clicking in my head. I missed him. That was true, I really did. Although we lived together under the same roof, I saw little and little of him every passing day. I searched for him everywhere in this huge mansion. The idea of him being swallowed whole by the house flashed in my mind. I had to rely on my 'senses' to find him. I caught his scent, strong and intoxicating as ever. The greens of the grasses and the purples of the wild flowers blended so well outdoors that it mesmerized me. The water fountain at the heart of the garden was the epitome that stole all the glory from the scenery. The sun eloped through the dense shades of branches in narrow scattered rays dancing across the garden floor. My eyes searched desperately for him gazing swiftly here and there. Finally there he was, back turned towards me frantically sketching something down in his fairly huge notepad. His eyebrows knitted together

    The next day was like hell. Damian's shadow followed me wherever I went. His whole day was spent with Natasha, on the couch, on the kitchen island, in the garden, on the pouch and even in his bathroom. Damian's words yesterday kept pondering in my heart. Her death? Whose death? What was he talking about? Who was he referring to?Knock! Knock! Knock! echoed through the candle lit hallway as my knuckles painfully hit Christian's door. There was quite a ruckus behind the door then silence. Swinging on my heels, I waited for the door to swing open. The silence was deafening. Puzzled I knocked again. There was a click revealing a very shirtless, sweaty Christian. ''Oh-Urr- Hello there.....'' He huffed eyes wide. ''........Urmm Hi?.....'' I quirked.''Why are you here so early in the morning?'' He checked his wrist for the time only to realize he had no watch on. My eyes furrowed in confusion. ''Its not early. Its half past 1 o'clock and why are you all sweaty and panting? Y

    Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served'' The head maid spoke and with a click on a glass everyone started to dig into their meals.Okay, so now I had one main problem. Which fucking cutlery am I going to use. As I stared down the table everything seemed blur. There were like a hundred and one different spoons, forks and something that looked like knives? This is more frustrating than Math formulas and calculus. Everyone seemed to ignore each other, even surprisingly Andrew had no problem using his. Well, he had some help from his girlfriend, Rae who sat by him.....Obviously. I was frantically looking around for some kind of help. ''Use the third spoon to your left …” I heard someone say from beside me. Grateful, I turned to thank him only to stare deeply into the green orbs of Damian.''Th- thanks....Why are you helping me in the first place?'' I asked surprised and a little startled by his kind gesture. He rolled his eyes and pouted feigning hurt and sadness. '' Why don

    Bathing and dressing up took me a while, a little longer than I had planned. There were so many shampoos and soaps of different shapes, sizes and colours I failed to recognize. Some smelt like bubble gum, others fruits. It was just nice to blend them all together. I heard short rasps at the door. I opened it hoping it was Kat but that hope fell down the drain immediately I was met face to face with a red haired girl almost the same age as Kat wearing the same old uniform Kat was wearing a day ago. She had outstanding light maroon eyes, so clear and so big. I wouldn't say she was breathtaking but she was pretty enough. She looked like the timid and shy type. ''Your presence is needed in the dining chamber at once by the mistress of the house, Madam Elizabeth.....'' She coughed as if she had memorized every single word before coming here.'' The dining chamber?.... Don't you mean the dining hall instead? And where is that even?....''''I was just sent her to deliver the messag

''We are going to my home, actually my pack house''''And what are we going to do there?''''Well, my dear little Sky.....as it turns out you clearly can't use your supernatural senses to its full yet. You are too powerful and it is feared that you may not be able to control your powers. It might override you. You and your brother are in danger. Those guys we were running away from need you for their psyco plan to supposedly take over the supernatural world.....'' He quirked rolling his eyes. ''Sounds like something out of The Originals.....'' Andrew added. ''So let me get this straight, we are going to the pack house to get trained and super powerful?.....'' ''Yeah''''But don't you think if Andrew and I get super powerful we would be weapons and it would be a free ticket for the bad guys to use us for their devious plans?''Damian sighed.''
