Without thinking, I inhaled sharply, causing her scent to overwhelm me. My muscles tensed, ready to spring towards the girl in front of me and sink my teeth into her fleshy neck.
What if I allowed myself to kiss her warm skin before my teeth pierce...

"How's your day going so far?" My younger brother, Dustin, asked while dribbling a basketball.
I grabbed a basketball and started dribbling alongside him. I had gym for second period, which I was actually grateful for. Being active got my mind off of everything else. I shrugged nonchalantly.
"It's great," I lied through my teeth.
Aside from sitting beside an unbelievably attractive guy in History that hates my guts for an unknown reason. Oh, and aside from Tyler Caldwell showing a newfound interest in me. Yeah, everything's great.
"You know I can tell when you're lying," he said with a small smile as he threw the ball into the hoop.
It made a satisfying swish as it fell through the basket. I gave him a reassuring smile.
"Just gotta get into the swing of things, is all," I told him.
He nodded in understanding. I watched as his eyes widened and his mouth fell open. The ball fell from his hands and rolled along the floor.
"Who are they?" He asked with bright eyes.
I followed his gaze and saw Alice walking into the gym with a tall, beautiful blonde girl. Her skin was like porcelain, same as Alice's, and she had the same golden eyes. She looked like a model that had stepped straight out of a magazine.
"The little one is Alice. I'm not sure who the blonde one is though," I told him.
"Wow," was all he said as he chased after the runaway ball.
Alice met my eyes and gave me a quick wave, followed by a friendly smile which I returned. The beautiful blonde standing next to her wore a blank expression as she looked at me.
I was distracted by a light tap on my shoulder. I spun around and was met with a clearly annoyed Noah.
Why did you give up your seat for that girl? He asked me with a frown.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Alice and the unknown blonde take a seat on the bleachers nearest to us.
Relax. You two are going to get along great. I assured him with a smile.
His frown deepened. Is it because you wanted to sit next to that guy?
My jaw went slack. "You mean, Edward?!" I spoke aloud before signing, Absolutely not. He's a huge jerk.
Noah gave me a disbelieving look. I sighed.
Trust me, okay? Paige is wonderful, I told him with a gentle smile. Give her a chance.
