All I could hear was the clock ticking every second and the students scribbling on their papers the math answers. While I was stuck thinking of an answer on the second page 3rd question. I was chewing my pencil like a beaver, thinking of a possible answer. I was stuck like that for 16 minutes before I started daydreaming of myself in space. Landing on an unknown planet. But that all popped when I heard the bell ring, signaling us that school was over for the day.

We all stood up talking, bustling to the teacher’s desk while the teacher, Ms. Rivers, was collecting our papers. She looked at me disappointed, I know you can do better. Before turning to the next person to collect the rest of the papers. She announced that the test scores would come out in a few days.

 I was walking home when my friend Vivian ran up to me panting and yelling. “Deja, Deja wait for me. You weren’t going to leave me right?”

“Sorry I was so focused on my dream and working on my math homework, that I just wasn’t focused..” I replied.

 “You can come over to my house, I can help,” Vivian exclaimed.

“Great. I’ll have to ask my mom.” I said hesitantly, I took out my phone and pressed on my mom’s picture. I put it against my ear and heard the ringing.

She answered, “Yes, honey.”

“Can I go to Vivian’s house to study,” I asked.

“Ok, But make sure that you are home before 7:00.”

“Kay, love you. Bye.” And I hung up.

I turned to Vivian.

“So what did she say?”

“I could go.”

“YES!” yelled Vivian.

Exterior 3:00 PM

Vivian’s house: Eating sandwiches while studying in the math book that is 260 pages long.

“Ugh I’m dying,” I groaned

“I know ugh,” Vivian said, all tired.

“Why am I so terrible at math?” I replied.

“You're not terrible at math.” Vivian popped up.

“Yes, I am.” I groaned.

I check the time. “Oh my god, I’ll be late for dinner, my moms gonna kill me.” I quickly grab my stuff, hug my friend goodbye, stuff a sandwich in my mouth, and nearly trip when I scamper down the stairs. I run into her step-brother Egan, the hot jock?. I look up at him, his broad shoulders, big biceps and muscles, his pretty lips, messy brown hazel hair, and his beautiful chocolate brown eyes. I quickly tell myself to snap out of it. I ran out the door.

I checked my watch, “It's 6:45 I only have 15 minutes.” Luckily I lived a few blocks away

I run as fast as I can, my phone rings, it's my mother I answer while I run, “Sweetie, where are you?”

“I’m almost home. See you in 5 minutes.” I hang up and run even harder, my legs are burning like the sun.

I can finally see my house. I slow down to rest. I turn to a jog, then walk. I noticed I started sweating and panting. I quickly wipe my sweat with the sleeve of my sweater. I fish my backpack for the keys and finally make it home. I tell my mom that I already ate at Vivian’s house and that I am going to take a shower.

I couldn’t stop thinking about Egan, Egan Xanders the hot jock from school but was my best friend’s stepbrother. How do I tell her that I like her impossible brother? After I got out of the shower I decided that I should forget about it. I walk up to my bed drying my hair while I pick up my phone. I check my phone for any news from my friend. So far nothing, I start to work on my essay for English class when my phone lights up with a text message from Vivian talking about match-making, great. I forgot about prom,

“Oh God,” I groan as I pick up my phone.

Vivian is talking about who she is going to bring for her date. While I am here with no clue.

I text her, “No clue who I am bringing, but I hope it is someone hot.”

She replies, “So, let us talk about all the cute boys in our grade!!!”

I reply with a message like this, “Sorry, I can’t talk because of English homework”

She replies with a sad-faced emoji.

I turn off my phone and sit with my head on the table. I later open up my laptop to do my English homework, it takes about an hour but I get it done. Luckily, our school was almost ending and we finished all our exams. But, our English teacher is trying so hard to torture us before school ends saying that this is her gift for being such “go~~od” students.

Once I finish with all my work, I brush my teeth and do all the essentials before going into bed. I lay in bed wide awake not feeling tired at all but knowing if I don’t sleep early I will wake up like a zombie tomorrow. I finally drift off into a peaceful sleep.

I wake up to my buzzing alarm. I wake up slowly mumbling something about hanging out with Vivian after breakfast because today was a Saturday, we always should make most of the weekends.

I go downstairs to my dad looking at his work app, and my mom doing her drinking her coffee on FaceTime with my grandparents. So far,  it was a peaceful morning until my younger brother and sister came down the stairs screaming,

“Mommy, Ryan hit me with his car!!!!” said my little sister Charlotte.

“Nooo, I didn’t!!!!!” shouted my little brother Ryan.

I sigh, missing my elder sister who went off onto OTIS University. I am currently 13 and was born in November. I am not always a straight-A student but I always tried my hardest. But, sometimes my mom can be a little too strict. Plus with the "no-dating rule"

So after that I ate some cream cheese bagels with a glass of water. I asked my mom over the kitchen island if I could hang with Vivian today to do some surfing.

She replied with a sigh, “Yes, but please be home before dark.”

I drop my plate and cup into the sink and peck both my parents and siblings on the cheek. I run the stairs, nearly tripping and landing on my face.

“Thank you, mom, love you I promise to be home before dark.”

I ran upstairs to call Vivian inviting her for surfing. She said that her brother Egan will drive and he might stay on the beach to surf too. I became even more excited knowing that he was coming. I then rip my whole closet apart to find the perfect bikini to impress Egan without making Vivian notice. I finally find one that is plain but really shows my curves and makes my butt and boobs look bigger and beautiful. I grab some shorts, a crop top, a towel, and a surfboard with a small bag with my phone and some snacks inside. I ran outside to see a black jeep with my friend sitting in the back screaming, “HURRY UPPPP!!! Hahaha”

I run-up to the car waving at Vivian then I play a little flirty smile. We’re on the way to the beach, we arrive early and not many people are there. I warm up my body by swimming with Vivian.

I grab my surfboard from where our beach towels were looking at Egan, he then looks at me, I silently scream in my head with joy. I pretend to ignore him; playing hard to get. I ran to the beach with Vivian and surfed for a few hours. We only run back to the beach when we are hungry, thirsty, or tired. Later on, before it gets dark Egan comes back to pick us up. On the way home Vivian and I talked about prom and I could sense Egan looking at me. I tried making him jealous every time but it didn’t work, so on the way back home I eventually gave up.

I flopped onto my bed groaning. I take a shower and walk downstairs and search through the kitchen for some dinner. I forgot that my little siblings and my parents went shopping at the Glendale Mall and would come back later. I snoop around the kitchen to find some chicken alfredo. I quickly gobble the food down and sulk all the way up to my room.

“Tomorrow is going to be Sunday… I should ask Vivian for a study session later.” sighing as I talk to myself.

I wake up to the sun shining brightly onto my face. I blink a few times to get adjusted to the light in my room. I walk to my bathroom and take a nice warm shower, I brush my teeth and comb my hair. I walk down the stairs smelling great and literally shining. I grab milk from the fridge with a box of honey cheerios and sit next to my kitchen island. My mom sips her coffee and my dad went to work. I won’t be seeing him for the next 2 or 3 weeks. My younger siblings are watching TV.

“Mom, can I go to Vivian’s today for a study session?” as I calmly stir my cereal. I glance at my mom a few times for any sign of acceptance, but so far nothing then I come up with a plan to persuade her.

“I really want to be ahead of the class and you know that Vivian is a great tutor,” I reply quickly.

“Ok, but you have to be back by curfew.” says my mom reluctantly.

“Got it, mom, love you.” as I put my cereal in the sink and rush up the stairs.

I grab all my school supplies and materials and wear some sweatpants and a baggy shirt with a messy bun. I say goodbye and lock the front door. As I walk I run into my neighbors, they always say that I’m growing quite tall. Adults always say this to me so I’m quite annoyed and used to it.

Once I arrive I immediately run to Vivian’s room. I bump into Egan and I trip falling backwards. He catches me by my waist and his breath caressing his face, just then Vivian comes out of the bedroom. I quickly push him away with a playful smirk. I run into Vivian and embrace her with a big hug.

I worked hard on my homework and at the end when we had time, I thought about Egan and I at prom together kissing. That all disappeared when my phone was ringing. It was my alarm to get home. I wrote my phone number on a piece of paper and when it was the right time I would give it to Egan, so when Vivian was leaving her room to go to the kitchen I quickly ran to the next closest room and right when I entered I smell his familiar scent and some football posters.

I put under his pillow when someone opens the door I turn and stumble. I fall onto his bed. I get up quickly when Egan pushes me back down again holding my arms down and crouching over me.. Lowering his head slowly we share a kiss so rough and passionate. Next he smells my neck and he suddenly has fangs, What the heck how is this possible shouldn’t Vivian know about this. But for some reason I feel calm and let him do it. The pain is long but amazing, I can’t help but sink into his bed more.

We pull apart, “Do you know how long I was waiting for you.” Egan said we both catch our breath.

We share a longer kiss, I want to stay like this forever. I put my hands on his shoulders and pushed him away. I check the hallways to make sure that Vivian isn’t there and run out the door. I feel guilty for kissing her step-brother and not telling her, she really likes her brother. She considers him his own brother and if she finds out she is going to be pissed. But I can’t believe that he is a vampire. That's probably why he is so athletic and amazingly handsome and his whole body was cold but comforting.
