Okay so I decided on a new story. I wanted a love story, but I wanted something original, not like a vampire love story. An alien love story. Please don't laugh, I really, really want this thing to work out 'cause I think it's a cool idea. But anyway, here's chapter 1:

I looked straight into Catherin Reptose's piercing, beautiful sky blue eyes. As she sat there with a group of kids at the cafeteria table. I was putting food on my tray while watching her. She looked like she couldn't stand being around them. Like she wanted to get away, just for a moment. As if she was in pain. I couldn't help but feel bad for her. She looked like she was gonna explode. Finally she got up and she stormed out of the cafeteria.

"Jennifer!" I heard a voice calling, but ignored it. I felt an arm approaching around my shoulders. It was Josh Coleson. My oh-so awesome boyfriend who I couldn't get enough of. His light blonde hair all messy. His hazel eyes that drew my attention. He was one of the best things that happended in my time being here in the mysterious place of Branington Hill located in Seattle. I'd moved here about two years ago. "So... what do you wanna do today? Wanna go see a movie? Have dinner?" he asked. He was always game for taking me out every once in a while. "Sorry I have to study tonight" I said pulling frown, but also saying it like I just didn't give a damn.

"Aww, come on Jen!" he whined." When was the last time you did anything fun?"

"Well, now that you mentioned it..." I trailed off pulling on my thinking face "Sorry, nope my mom's gonna kill me if I sneak out!"

"Okay" he frowned. "I guess I'll see ya later!"

"Where're you going?" I simply called out as he backed up.

"Football practise" he called out before heading out the cafeteria door. I laughed.

I grabbed an apple and went on my way to my cafeteria table. I started nibbling on it when no sooner it was like someone walked into me without looking and that caused my tray -with my food- to drop and land up on the floor. My salad with my sandwich was lying on the floor. I soon bent down and I saw it was actually Catherine that bumped into me. I turned and saw her face. It was... different. Her beautiful blue eyes were not there anymore. Something else had replaced it. Instead her eyes were a dull yellow-green colour and the eyes of an animal, was there.. No, not an animal, a lizard. The eyes of a serpent. A reptile. My hands were trembling as I picked up the tray with my sandwich, though my salad was scattered over the floor. I lifted myself up and Catherine  stood up at the same time. I looked at her, and her blue eyes were there again. "I'm really, sorry I didn't watch where I was going" her voice sounded shaky. "N-no, it's fine" I stuttered. She just left as if she couldn't stand being near me. Was she hiding something? What was it that I had seen in her eyes that made me wanna slap the hell out of myself just to make sure I'm not dreaming. Was it real? Could it have been real?

I bent down and tried to clean up the salad that was scattered on the floor. "Do you need some help?" I heard a smooth, velvet voice say.

"No it's fine, I've got it." I said. When I was done I got up and was greeted by the most beautiful gray eyes I'd ever seen.

"Hi, I'm Sam. Sam Straniero" he said kindly.

"Uh, hi Sam. I'm Jennifer Primsley. But you can call me Jen if you like" I said.

"Nice to meet you Jennifer. I'll see you around"

"Okay bye.." I waved my hand as he walked like some cool guy ready to take on the world.

Why have I not seen him before? maybe I'm too busy adoring my cute boyfriend. But Sam.. he wasn't just cute, he was GORGEOUS. He made my heart race when I was around him. No, no, no, no , no, NO! Don't fall for him. He was nice to you. He was friendly. That's all. Friends. That was all. I'm not gonna let someone I just met come between my relationship with the most amazing boyfriend in the world.

When lunchtime was over I strolled along down the hallway on my way to my locker. I opened it and took everything I needed out. I closed my locker and I noticed Catherine at least a locker away from mine on the right side. "Hi Catherine" I said trying to be nice.

She stayed still. She never said a word. I decided it was no use and I turned away from my locker and wanted to leave. I turned and went on my way to my next class.

After school was over, I made my way to the parking lot and I got in my car. I saw him heading towards a black porsh and next to it, stood a beautiful teen girl, who looked about my age, with the same beautiful gray eyes and long flowing wavy black hair and a tall teen guy also with the same eyes with dark brown hair that tucked behind his ears.

I tried ignoring the sight of beauty that the three held. I started my car and then I was frightened by a loud knock on my window. It was Josh. I rolled my window down. "Hey, you're leaving already?" he asked.

"Yeah. I just wanna get home now" I said.

"Don't you wanna catch a list with me?" he offered with some sort of a pleading face.

"No I'll be fine. I've got my car here anyway. Go on, go hang out with your friends." I told him "besides, I've got a lot of studying work to do anyway remember"

"Yeah okay. Drive safe and.. call me" he said kissing me on my cheek. I sort of found that as a bit cheesy but anyway he was still the best boyfriend ever.

I took a glimpse across the parking lot over to were Sam was standing. I swallowed hard because he was staring right at me. I reversed out of the parking lot and went on my way home. I tried getting him out of my mind. It was tough, but I just had to.
