I sighed as I ran my fingers through my long black hair, trying to make it through another boring monday night. I stretched and looked absently out the window. *ding* My computer went off and I snapped back to attention.

cybersmexy17 - OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!

A message from my best friend Emily popped up on my screen. Smiling slightly to myself, I started to wonder why me and Em get along so well. Emily is a typical blonde cheerleader type, blue eyed bombshell, flirty, popular, what every girl wanted to be. And me well I'm different. Black hair, deep blue eyes, pale skin, a little bit of a loner. What brings us together is our shared interest in vampires and fallen angels and everything other people consider legends.

I quickly signed off my computer and looked down at myself. Unusally tight jeans, black tank top.. It'd work. I ran a brush through my hair and grabbed a black hoodie and headed out my front door. Locking it behind me, I walked about 5 minutes till I got to downtown, or the lame excuse for a downtown we had in our small town. The coffee shop was right infront of me. I took a deep breath and walked in, smelling the amazing smell of the awesome pastrys they had here.

I looked at the counter and saw possibly the hottest guy I had ever seen. He was exactly how Em had descibed him. Black hair cut short in the back and longer in the front, falling into flawless green eyes. We were the only ones in the shop, and I blushed slightly as I felt his eyes go up and down my body. I turned to leave quickly.. I couldn't do this. Not even for Em.

"Hey.. wait!" I heard this unbelievably deep, but soft voice come from behind me. I froze, dammit! He slid over the counter and stood in front of me. "Whats your name?"

"Hope." I shoved my now sweaty hands into my hoodie pockets and tried to act uninterested. "You?"

"Jay." He flashed me a dazzling smile, I smiled slightly back, and tried to look cool. "Why are you leaving?"

"Umm.." I tried to think of a decent excuse. "Uh.. I was looking for my friend Emily but shes not here." I shrugged and tried slipped quickly around him heading for the door.

"Wait!" I turned around to look at him. "You should stay. Its wickedly boring in here and you look like a cool chick." Another dazzling smile. I opened my mouth to refuse but he grabbed my arm and pulled me to a table. "Cmon! Coffee on me." He raised an eyebrow and all I could do was roll my eyes. "Wait right here!" He demanded as he slipped back over the counter and dissapeared into some back room. I shrugged off my hoodie and started playing with a napkin that was sitting on the table. Jay quickly came back holding two steaming hot cups of black coffee.

"Thanks" I said as I took one from him.

"I didn't know what you took in your coffee so I just brought black, is that ok?"

"Yeah its fine." I took a small sip of the burning hot coffee as he took a seat across from me.

"So do you go to the high school?" He asked looking at me intently.

"Yup." I remembered my mission. I couldn't fall for this guy no matter how hot or charming he was. Em liked him. "My best friend Emily goes there too. Have you met her?"

"Emily?" His eyebrow raised once again. "You can't be talking about that blonde slut Emily who was throwing herself at me?"

My eyes shot up from my coffee, and I stared at him for a second. "Yeah, actually."

"Oh......" He looked away for a moment. "I'm sorry, I just didn't think.. that umm.." He stopped.

"That someone like me would be friends with a slut like her?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I.. I didn't mean it like that." He protested.

"Don't." I stood up, and grabbed my hoodie. "Thanks for the coffee." I turned around and quickly walked out. How was I gonna break this to Em.
