Chapter 1:

Hey my names is Cherry I go to Willow Senior High and am in grade 10, I live with my pain in the butt brother Myke who acts more like a mum than a brother in a middle class house with kitty curtains, why me!.

It was just like any normal day I got up from my lovely slumber, got dressed in my very average grey top, blue pants and trainers. Quick mirror check and combed my long red hair and put the mess into a ponytail. I put black eyeliner around my sea green eyes and put black lipstick on my lips and to finish various wrist bangles.

I try and pass Myke on my way out but no such luck, “Hey Cherry I made your favourite tuna sandwich” I just glared at him and took the lunch walking grumpily out the door. Sadly I don’t have a car so I walk to school with my head held high.

“Hey there’s Goth girl”anothers says “I bet she worships Satan and eats lamb hearts for breakfast” “ewwwwww” all three girls cried out. I walk past them a glare Note to self put cockroaches in there bags. Once past those snobs I see a spiky blue haired punk sitting on one of the benches outside the school “Damien one of my best friends how are you this fine day?” I scream out to him only to get a shrug of his shoulders as a reply.

I walk up to him to look directly at him; he looks like he hasn’t slept for over a week. Yawn “what’s up with you? You look like a zombie” he just smiled and grabbed his bag and we walked into the school. “So why are you so cheery did your brother get sick or something?” he asked “Na, even better Im going to the slipknot concert that’s on tomorrow wanna come?” I asked him, he just smile and say “ok” he should be stoked ok well I guess he’s just tired .

The day is long and uneventful even recess and lunch was boring because Damien slept through them leaving me a loner. To pass the time I started to read one of the books I bought from the second hand shop called Bitten by Kelley Armstrong, i was on page 19 when a shadow came up to me “Hello sexy my name is Claude what is yours?” I looked straight up to strangers face and into his eyes they were a vibrant yellow colour shrouded in pale purple hair that stops around his lower back and coled the book . I watched him for a second and was about to reply when......

“ Get your filthy eyes off her!” I turned around to see the normally docile Damien glaring at this guy with a serious expression I couldn’t believe he would embarrass me like this, my face went as red as my hair. I looked at him then this Claude guy and i saw an angry expression on both of them.

“Leave now! Or do you wanna fight for her?” Claude smiled and said “ Im a lover not a fighter , good day Cherry” I just stared at him whilst he walked away how did he know my name and what’s with his eyes are they contacts. I look back a Damien to see him looking straight at me “ You don’t ever go near him without me ok?”. I glared at him and walked back inside to my classroom and for the rest of the day wonder what on earth happened?
