Lunchtime.
Olivia's stomach remained as silent as it was for the past 80 years she's lived, being an outcast among the loud harmony of her piers' growling stomaches. Olivia leaned in over her lab partner's wristwatch, and read the time. 11:58AM. Thank heavens her class left for lunch at the correct timing, noon, 12:00PM. Only two more minutes in the stuffy classroom with Ms. Todd attempting to teach her science class. Only two more minutes she would have to wear these thick and ugly goggles strapped on her eyes, and only two more minutes until Olivia can just relax sitting next to Violet who was probably already at her lunch table jabbering on her cell phone.
"Miss Freewind!" a voice echoed through Olivia's ears, making her look up to see her entire class throwing confused and amused glances at her. Olivia slowly rose her head up to the caller, Ms. Todd.
"Yes?" Olivia stuttered, her voice shaky.
"What was the question I just asked?"
Olivia shuddered. The spotlight was on her, and she had stage fright. "Uh...uh..."
"Can anyone tell Miss Freewind what I just asked--?"
Before anyone can raise their hand and show off, Ms. Todd looked at her watch and gasped. She signaled for everyone to go to lunch, relieving Olivia from anymore embarrassment. And with this gift, Olivia dashed to the lunchroom.
When she flung open the heavy doors to the chilly lunchroom, she heard a loud thud. Olivia squeaked at the sound and hopped forward, bumping a few people as they made their way to the trashcans.
"Sorry, sorry!" Olivia apologized, then pivoting on her heels to see who she hit with the door to make the thud earlier...

Nathan walked by the door with a tray full of spaghetti. Then the cafeteria doors flung open and smacked Nathan in the face. He stood there blinking in awe and looked down at his shirt noticing spaghetti all over it. Jason ran up to him and looked at his shirt. He just about laughed but didnt; not wanting to ruin his popular reputation. "Hey Man. What happened?" Jason asked watching him brush off the spaghetti. "Oh. It's nothing. Just some girl who made me knock my tray over." Nathan said still brushing off the spaghetti. "Want me to go get her for you?" Jason insisted. He didnt want to do it for Nathan, he wanted to do it for himself. "No. I'll get her." Nathan spoke walking towards her. Jason didnt want to fuss about it. They both did really talk to ever since they found out about eachother. Nathan began to pick up speed and finally caught up with her. People saw the mess on him and watched the scene, wondering how it would end. Though, Jason ignored it all and sat back down at a lunch table. "Hey-" Nathan spoke trying to think of her name. "um... Olivia!! What's up with you?" He asked grabbing her wrist. He examined her pale skin, and beautiful features, and guessed that she was a vampire; but that didnt pove anything yet.

Lance walked in like normal at the end of the line. His eyes went over to Nathan and Olivia, and without noticing he bumpec into someone. The person was big and buff looking he also has a messed up nose. “Watch it!” he said looking at him with an evil glare. “...Sorry” Lance said in a soft voice. The guy looked at him with a crazy smile, he had some teeth missing. “So...it talks” he said. He then had friends coming and laughing. Lance gave him his expressionless look. “What...arn't you gonna do someting about it, ya mime!” he then said with alk his other friends laughing. “...Shut up” Lance then said in his soft voice again. The guy turned around and looked at him “What was that?” he asked. Lance then looked at him “Shut...up” he said again but a little louder. “I see” the ghy said then he pushed him but Lance pushed back then the guy took a punch at him but Lance quickly pulled an uppercut into his stomach and others started crowding around Lance trying to punch him.

Bree waved at her joint Language Arts and Social Studies teacher. Collecting her few books and beginning to walk out the door until her teachers cheery voice rung through the room. "Bree, how far have you gotten in Romeo and Juliet?" Mrs. DeYoung asked happily. The vampire chuckled merrily the sound ringing like bells, "Only a few pages left, Mrs. DeYoung. You know how quickly I go through books." The teacher nodded and Bree walked gracefully through the door. Her elegant step brought her to the lunch and dropping her books off. She opened the doors slowly and took a step inside. Nearly knocking someone over she smiled sheepishly. "I'm sorry, are you alright?" She spoke smooth as velvet. The boy nodded quickly and ran out the doors blushing madly.
Bree sighed and looked around the cafeteria. Such chaos went on lately she could barely sit in peace. She sifted through the many ringing voices in her head and almost immediately caught the vampire boy from earlier. A light hiss escaped her vocals as she elegantly walked to stand beside him. A slight growling was heard as she glared at him. "If you didn't hear, she said sorry. I'd advise you let her go before I make sure that arm of yours is gone." She spoke darkly. Her gaze directly fell to the boys fighting as she sighed. A cheerleader running up to Bree once more yelling and cursing her for talking to Nathan in such a tone. Bree merely smirked, "If you want to keep those pretty little curls on your head, I'd turn and walk back to your Nathan fan club."

If it were possible, Olivia's face would have gone paler. But she was already pale enough, some freckles dotting her skin that seemed to never have been introduced to sunlight. She felt the blood rush away from her head and fill with hardcore pressure as she tried to walk away from the scene. Suddenly, she felt someone pull her back on her wrist. She froze like an ice sculpture.
"um... Olivia!! What's up with you?"
Olivia's ears began to ache as she heard an unfamiliar voice say her name. She paused, before turning face to face to whom had called her name in such a casual tone. She could feel the pressure building up tightly inside her head as if her head would pop like a balloon when she caught sight of Nathan.
He looked pleasantly remarkable, pale and just...gorgeous. He carried such an unnatural grace with him, all he needed was a sign blinking in four different colors reading with an arrow pointing toward his head: "VAMPIRE".
Olivia's lips were sealed in a tight line. She couldn't force any words out quite yet.
"If you didn't hear, she said sorry. I'd advise you let her go before I make sure that arm of yours is gone."
This voice didn't belong to Nathan, nor Olivia. Olivia face looked like her expression was carved in thick marble; she didn't see what would happen next. Before she knew it, an even more beautiful girl walked--no, it seemed as if she danced--over to Nathan and her. She looked either disgusted or darkened, but Olivia couldn't tell. She was still stunned.
Was this girl a vampire, too?
Is this school full of them?
What is happening around here?!
Olivia realized the awkward silence coming for herself, and rushed to cover it up.
"I...uh..." she started, biting her lower lip and pulling her wrist back slowly. "...uh...uwa?"
Olivia was babbling.

Then after awhile Lance muttered something under his breath and the bully and his friends hit the wall and stood there shoulder to shoulder. “Thanks...for letting me skip you” Lance said with a small smile then cut those people. People stared at him as he passed the bullies and still waited in line till he was getting his food. He let out a sigh and the bullies were free from being stuck to the wall, and ran out. He carried his food tray and gave a little smile. The lunchroom was packed today and his spot was taken and is now looking for someone to sit by.

Nathan glanced at Bree with a bit of a glare. "Bree. What is your problem? I've tried to become friends with you, but you brushed me off like dirt. I was only trying to be nice, and that's what I'm doing now." He said still holding Olivia's wrist. People in the lunch room glanced at the bully from just minutes ago but were now watching Bree, Olivia, Lance, and Nathan. Head's turned trying to watch everything. "Anyways. Olivia. I was just wondering... If you'd want to go out with me sometime. You know, a date." He said calmly still holding her wrist looking down at the spaghetti on his shirt. Everybody turned to Nathan and Bree with widened eyes. "Did he just ask her out?! whoa! That's his first time right?" one of Nathan's teammates asked another. "Yeah... first time. Is he for real.? He said he's looking for the perfect girl. Hey, didnt he almost ask those 2 other chicks out? what are their names.... Bree and... Elizabeth." The other said back still watching. "yeah! Wow... that's 3 girls all in one week. I wonder if this Olivia girl will say yes." The first one said back while Nathan just stood there waiting for Olivia to say smething with his cold hand wrapped tightly around Olivia's wrist.

Olivia felt the blood that was previously drained from her face, rush back and something in her head hammering against her nerves. She could almost feel herself turning partially pink like a rose, her lips trying to force some words out, but her brain unable to suggest what she could in a situation like this. Even for almost 80 years of walking this earth, she was still forced in these extremely awkward situations... Oh the joy.
"I spill spaghetti on your shirt and you ask me out on a...date?" The hardest word to choke out was the final one. The entire sentence sounded shaky and confused, like Olivia expected Nathan to threaten to knock the wind out if her if she ever did anything stupid like that again. And yet, Olivia didn't expect this.
Suddenly, a slender figure pushed her way through to Olivia and snatched her wrist. Olivia didn't have to look away from Nathan to know that warm touch anywhere. Violet stomped her foot down.
"Olivia, what are you doing?!" she snapped, her green eyes as hard and shimmering like a slick emeralds.
Olivia stuttered. "I..uh...huh?"

Nathan tilted his head watching Olivia then looked down at his shirt. He examined it then looked back up at Olivia. "Hey. Im not that kind of guy. It's just a shirt, nothing to worry about! Come on, just forget that you did that to me, and answer yes or no." He spoke letting go of her wrist. He glanced around at Bree and Violet along with the people around him. "Well, this looks like a bad time to ask a shy girl out huh? Um, just think about your answer and tell me some other time. I will see you around Olivia. Bye Bree and....... Violet." He said having to pause to think about her name. He waved to them, walked passed Bree and began to walk to a table full of football players but away from Jason.

Bree growled lightly looking at the other vampire in disgust. She swiftly turned on her heels to face away from him, crossing her arms quickly. Watching him walk away she nodded contently,
"Olivia, are you alright?" Her voice came like smooth satin as she turned again on her heels.
Now seeing another girl and quickly searching through the others minds to find her name.
"Hmm, hello Violet." She spoke with a small smile.
Watching Nathan walk back to his group she snorted lightly. Finally he is gone, something about him...The way he just goes and speaks of him being a vampire. We will be having problems with keeping our secret. Jared should know about this...

Olivia stared with wide, black eyes toward Bree, then glanced at Violet's impassive face, then back at Bree. Olivia didn't remember Violet saying anything about this girl here, and that didn't seem like a common thing for Violet to do. Even if Bree just moved here, Violet would have some gossip or judgmental notes all over Bree like she was dipped in maple syrup and rolled around in chocolate chips... Sorry, bad metaphor.
It took a minute for Olivia to answer because at first she had to wiggle her wrist out of Violet's grasp and wipe her hands on her dark blue jeans.
"...I'm...fine," Olivia said not looking Bree in the eye until she finished what she was saying. Olivia looked to see what Bree had glanced over at, only to see Nathan again. What was with her and him?
Violet seemed to read Olivia like a book and had asked that question out loud for the timid vampire. "Uhh...you're Bree, right?" she asked, her voice smooth and as pretty as a human's voice possibly could get. Well, what's with you and Nathan?" Then, Violet shook her head with dark grin smeared on her face. "Lifetime rivalry or just a deep hate for the football guy?"
Olivia's face turned red. Was Violet already insulting others? Had she no respect? Apparently not.

Nathan was still walking to the lunch table when a football came out of knowhere flying toward Nathans head. He quickly put his hands infront of his face and caught the ball. He looked at the ball noticing that it was signed by Randy Moss. "What's this?" He asked taking a seat beside Shawn. Everybody pointed Jason and Nathan glared at him. "Hey Shawn, want this? I dont want it." Nathan asked holding the football out for him. "Sure..." He said taking the ball and just now realizing it was signed by Randy Moss. "Dude!!! T-This is- signed-" He tried to speak but was cut off by Nathan. "Oh well, I dont care." He said glaring at Jason again. "um... thanks!" Shawn shouted patting Nathan on the shoulder. "no problem. Hey. Guys I'm gonna head to class, alright. See ya later." Nathan spoke getting up from the table. He turned around and walked pass Olvia and the other girls and walked toward the door.
