Chapter 2
POV: Jasmine
“Hey, I’m Jordan,” he said, surprising me. Blushing, I said, “Can I walk you to your next class?” At lunch, my friends were buzzing over my conversation and walk to class with Jordan. "We saw you talking to that new guy, ummm… what’s his name?” Natalie asked. I blushed and said shyly, “It’s Jordan.” “I don’t know, maybe,” I said as I still blushed and started eating. Just then, Amy, the sporty and athletic girl in our group, said, “What do you mean, you ’don’t know’? You need to stop waiting around and go after him!” I blushed and just continued to eat. When I was almost done, Jordan walked by on his way to dump his tray. “Hi, Jasmine.” “Can I walk you home?” he asked sweetly. After 2 whole weeks of procrastination of talking to her, I finally went for it. On Tuesday, I thought it over 1st, knowing that being near me could put her in harm’s way. I liked her, though, so, being blinded by love, I walked over to her before 4th period and introduced myself. I even walked her to class, looking at her neck the whole way, feeling my fangs come out, closing my mouth so she wouldn’t notice. I decided quickly in my head that I would get to know her, become friends, maybe even her boyfriend, and then, when we were alone, I’d feed off of her, but then I realized that I might kill her, and life would be unbearable if I did. I wondered how she would react if I told her about what I really was as I opened the door for her to our next class and smiled, keeping my mouth shut still. Taking a seat in the last row in the back of the room, I decided while the teacher was droning on with today’s lesson that I would tell her what I was when we became closer friends. After that, I couldn’t help but look at her neck, hungry, wanting to sink my teeth into that beautiful, flawless skin and taste the delicious blood. Poor thing, she was sitting right next to me, so it probably was a good thing that she never looked at me or I would’ve scared her because my mouth was open and my fangs were out, and I was licking my lips as my eyes turned a dark, almost black shade. I had to get out of there soon or I’d lose control of my self and bite her. Thankfully, right when I was about to lose it, the bell rang. Saved by the bell, how cliché, I thought to myself as I ran out the door as fast as possible, using some of my vampire abilities. I realized that it wasn’t good for us to be near each other, but yet I couldn’t help but really like her. I couldn’t even help but like her, even though the smell of her blood tempted me. I was so blinded by love, even though it was dangerous. I even walked her home after school, and we talked and got to know each other. After I left her at her house, I used my super fast vampire speed to race home, telling Danny that I was walking home. I thought about her the rest of the night, and decided that tomorrow, I’d ask her out on a date, then eventually ask her to be my girlfriend. I made up my mind. Tomorrow, after our date, I’d tell her the truth about what I am.
