  Chapter 1: Boys!

  Saturday August 18, 2012

  7:23 PM

  School starts on Monday. I know that is a little soon for most schools but we always get out earlier I love it and hate it at the same time. For starters it is blistering hot outside so we get to sit in the nice air conditioned school. It also gives me an excuse to talk to the class hotties.

  I’m just kidding.

  Although I do love chatting up the occasional hottie but let’s face it; who doesn’t? It was never a crime to look at some man candy… Well unless they suck.

  Speaking of suckage… You know what really sucks about this whole starting school earlier than pretty much everyone else in existence? Our summers are cut short or at least it feels like they are. I just want to chillax for another week and get my tan on some more…

  Glad I’m not a vampire or else I would not be able to say that.

  I’d curse the sun for hurting my eyes and my skin for NEVER tanning… ever. It has something weird to do with, I don’t know… The fact that they only drink human blood and eat raw meat! Seriously… Gross.

  And don’t get me started on the werewolves. Holy crap, those guys, they may love the sun and may be really good to look at but they’re horn dogs… pun intended. I’m not surprised that the football team is primarily made up of wolves. They’re… for a lack of a better word, meatheads.

  And their girlfriends are not much better… or at least the ones who choose to be cliché and date the cheerleaders… Pixies. That’s all I can say.

  Ok, maybe not all I can say. They’re like your average cheer leaders, you know all perky and… fake to your face besides the queen bee types; princesses through and through. If you imagine what a pixie would be like in real life… Well that pretty much describes them… Tinkerbell would be a good example.

  Alright, alright… Maybe there are many more reasons why I don’t want to go back to school besides the whole lack of summer thing. But you can hardly blame me! People like them do not get along with people like me…

  Most people just assume that I am a human that knows about their world. I’m basically a fluke in the universe… My parents are completely normal but I’m totally not. I prefer to hang out with the humans to make myself seem normal. I pretend to be one of them.

  But I guess that is another story for another time.

  Ugh! My mom is calling me. I’ll be back.

  8:35 PM

  So remember how I told you that my talents were a story for another time? Well my mother wanted me to come down stairs and demonstrate them for her.

  She always does this and it is always random. It is like she knows that I don’t use them at school so she has to test me in some way to make sure that I am developing properly. The worst part about it is that she always does it randomly.

  I mean why can’t she just teach me things herself in her off time? Noooo…. Dia, you have to do it on your own. I mean seriously. Just because that was how your parents taught you… or rather didn’t teach you doesn’t mean that you have to do the same.

  Ugh. She frustrates me.

  I almost wish that I wasn’t this way; it’s a lot to deal with. I just want to be a normal teen. Or at least as normal as one can be in the supernatural society.

  Anyways, let’s talk about something more age appropriate. Like boys… again. Or Boys and my friends, that works.

  So Kara finally got a boyfriend. And it is about freaking time because she has been pining over this guy and him over her for quite some time. I am just glad that he finally grew the balls to do something about it.

  She was telling me that they were hanging out over the summer and he just asked her out, out of nowhere and in front of his older brother no less. I’m sure he is getting endless bull about it.

  I also think that he might have actually felt threatened by his brother because I’m not going to lie, that boy is quite the looker. He has all kind of girls after him and not a care in the world. I think that is kind of the lure about him. He seems cool and smooth but in reality he really just doesn’t give a crap.

  His brother was a few grades a head of us and one of the cool kids when he was in high school. Not one of the cool jocks but rather just the “cool group,” one of the people that everyone loved and wanted to be. I think he is the reason why girls think they’re so sexy now, the demons. Seth made it cool when really they shouldn’t be at least not in my opinion.

  To tell you the truth I am not sure why we go to school with the demons. The only time I ever see them is in one of two general classes that is required for everyone to take each year and the lunch period. Other than that they have their own special but very secret classes to go to.

  They don’t even come to the culture classes. You know the one where they teach you to interact with other races and to be nice to humans.

  But I do have to admit that they are damn fine.

  No seriously. There is something about a bad boy that makes them alluring. Not that I would ever admit that to any one not reading this. If you asked me in real life I would say that they’re not my type. I would say that I liked human boys the best because they were more in my league… despite the fact that they really aren’t (more on that later.)

  What? I am not exactly mortal either… But not immortal, if you know what I mean. Ok you probably don’t but I am not explaining.

  Where was I? Oh yes; boys.

  All hotness aside I’m not sure who I would really go for. Who is my type? I guess I should try being normal and make up a list of qualities that I want in a man… wait… guy.

  Uhm…

  Funny? Who wants a dull guy?

  Confident. Yes, he has to be confident or else he will piss me off.

  Considerate. Why would I like a guy who isn’t considerate of my needs?

  Taller than me. I don’t think that is much to ask for… I’m like 5’ 6”.

  Protective. I want a guy to stand up for me but he probably shouldn’t be too protective or else he will get jealous and that could go south fast. Like stalker fast.

  Passionate? Sounds good right?

  He’s got to have goals for himself or else the relationship won’t go anywhere.

  I guess that is all I can think of right now. I mean what else would a girl want besides stuff in the looks department.

  I guess that is all for now�
� I’ll be back later, or tomorrow.

  Chapter 2: School is the worst

  Monday August 20, 2012

  9:04 am

  I am bored out of my mind. I hate first days. The only thing we ever do is introductions and the teacher talks at us about what they expect from us. Yes we know. You think you have a lot of crap for us to get done. I get it.

  Thank you.

  Not.

  I still can’t believe that Kara and Liam are dating but at the same time I saw it coming from a mile away. He’s got an in with the soccer guys so maybe he’ll introduce me to some babes… or maybe not. I have a feeling that he’s not telling me something and it has to do with a guy… mystery guy. Great.

  Now that’s going to bother me. If he does know something he should just tell me so I don’t go insane over nothing.

  YES! There’s the bell!

  12:34 pm

  He knows something. He totally knows something! I know it.

  Ok, so let me recap my lunch experience for you real quick.

  There I was sitting in the lunch room a little bit early because my Elfish language teacher decided to have mercy on us and release us for lunch a little early… or she was just sick of us… But anyways, I was sitting in our usual place when Liam and Kara come up.

  Liam informs me that we are moving locations and I asking why because why mess with a perfectly good thing. And he is being all elusive and I’m like “ok, bro, whatever…”

  So we moved and guess where we moved… Outside! Seriously, the outdoors is where all the werewolves eat lunch and the vampires try to look cool smoking in the corner partially hidden from view but everyone knows they’re there. So we sit within perfect view of them and I am like “WTF is going on?”

  “Oh, you know… just like it better out here.” Liam tells me.

  Yeah, sure you dumb ass I know you’re lying, “with the vampires and werewolves?” Sarcasm…

  His stupid move was like out of some cliche teenage vamper story. Awesome. I’m trying to blend in not stand out. Ugh, boys.

  “Yeah. I do play on the same team as these guys.” I was hating Liam by that point, totally forgetting that he is a demon so he kind of blends in with this crowd.

  “You’re so cool.” My sarcasm knows no bounds.

  “Come on, when did a little fresh air ever hurt anyone?” He shrugged like it was no big deal but I knew he had some reason for bringing us out there. He was way too evasive.

  That’s the thing with demons, they always have a plan and I am betting his plan was to set me up so I didn’t feel like the fifth wheel or something.

  But that didn’t make much sense considering the fact that Alice annnnddd Jade are still single…. speaking of Jade, I haven’t seen her…. Oh well, she is probably skipping because first days suck!

  I have an idea… I know how to get this info out of Liam.

  12:52 pm

  So I ditched them. Because I’m super nice like that and I really did not feel like watching them make out. And that was when it happened; my bad luck punched me in the face.

  Niklas… Niklas the freaking vampire! He can’t be serious. Ok, to be fair I don’t really know the whole situation. I don’t even know what Niklas is going to do… I just have to act normal, right? Right?! Oh man.

  There I was just minding my own business, waiting for the bell to ring when suddenly NIKLAS! Being a weirdo he just sits down right next to me at the table. I was wishing that someone would hurry up and save me but of course I wouldn’t be that lucky.

  “Niklas…” I nodded at him when he sat down.

  “Dia… You look very pretty today.” He commented. I had a feeling he was trying to be smooth but it wasn’t working on me.

  I raised an eyebrow at him.

  “Then again you look lovely every day.” He said with a smirk.

  “You are acting like someone who wants something.” I said to him slowly. It was weird because he never really spoke to me. Sure he talked to Liam who was now dating my best friend but that didn’t mean I had to be friends with Niklas.

  “Oh, there are plenty of things I want but one in particular…” He paused. “Now is not the right time.”

  It was like he knew the bell would ring at that moment because as soon as he stood to leave me pondering his cryptic words the bell rung and I was out of there.

  Let me tell you about Niklas real quick like. Niklas is a vampire and he is very popular at that. Generally he doesn’t hang out with humans like “me” but with his little posse. You see the thing about vampires (and other races for that matter) is that they always hang out with one another. I think it’s because they don’t have to worry about their mojo messing other vampires up… because they’re immune.

  Stupid mojo makes all the girls want a supernatural (and boys to I guess.) It kind of makes people blubbering idiots if they’re too weak. (Also because they want to eat them…) I guess the nature of beings like Niklas is to feed off humans. That’s why they draw us in. It’s just a natural instinct.

  It doesn’t really matter though because they hang out with vampires so they don’t have to deal with over enthusiastic women or whatever. Other creatures of the same race are immune to the charm.

  Naturally I hate vampires…. demons and all them because races repulse each other. Everyone thinks they’re they best. But they’re all wrong. I’m the best.

  Just kidding.

  You know what else that does? It makes them separate all of us from one another in classes, like I rarely have classes with vampires. Not that I would want to have a class with them. I would just be too distracted by my irritation that they were there.

  Ugh, speaking of… I have defense with them next and not it’s not any of that Harry Potter crap. Defense is self-defense like how to run really fast if a vampire is chasing you…. I’m just kidding.

  Kind of.

  4:42 pm

  I have freakin survived the first day of school and most importantly I have survived my mother.

  She accosted me as soon as I got home and is has been the Spanish inquisition ever since. I’m not sure what kind of trouble she thinks I’ll get into on the first day of school but she’ll lighten up tomorrow… and then have me working on my power for HOURS after that. I feel like I am really in control… and that I know things that I shouldn’t for someone my age. But of course she doesn’t see that.

  I’m just a kid mom.

  Lay off.

  Chapter 3: Dinner and a Show

  Wednesday August 22, 2012

  11:42 am

  Why is that Mystical Cultures the most boring class ever? I mean you would think that something like that would be more fascinating, that it would at least be interesting to know more about other races but nooooo… It’s boring as all get out.

  Blah blah blah… vampires are bad. Blah blah blah… Demons are worse… a whole bunch of hoopla about the past, more boring stuff about rogues and murderers. Whatever. I know what’s good and bad. I’ve been learning all of this nonsense since I was like 6.

  Why are humans so racist? I mean I could really care less what race you are as long as you don’t kill me or try to take over the world… I guess to be fair that is kind of why we’re racist.

  Let’s just say that there have been instances where supernatural, like vampires have tried to kill a lot of humans, Hitler being an example. He started with Jews because he obviously didn’t like them and would have made his way around until he killed or enslaved as many humans as possible.

  And we were like “hell no!” And kicked his ass because we’re awesome like that.

  I hate that this is a B day… a human day because human days are usually extremely dull. At least with my supernatural classes tomorrow I get to learn things like defense and dragon art or Elfish…. Ok, so maybe that’s dull to.

  1:45pm

  Kara is not pleased but I can’t help it if her boyfriend pisses me off. I mean it is his fault that Niklas is being a creeper. This wouldn’t have happen
ed if he hadn’t decided to move our friend group for lunch.

  She’s a little butt hurt that I am being snarky to her BF. But really, I’m just trying to get him to go away so I won’t have to deal with his nonsense anymore.

  Hopefully Kara won’t go with him.

  I guess I should tell you what happened…

  “Liam you’re a turd. Why do we eat out here?” I gave him a pointed look.

  “Because… Don’t you want some variation in your life?” He asked me as he hugged Kara closer to him.

  “No.” I replied bluntly. He loves it.

  “I like the change. The only thing I don’t like is him.” Kara gestured to Niklas who was watching us from across the quad.
