First day of school, great. Walking into school.

Holding onto my backpack. My earbuds plugged into my phone I turn on some music, minding my own business.

"Buh bye y/n!" Fathers voice cracked.

I turned around, faking excitement. "Bye daddy!" I waved goodbye.

"Eww what a weirdo" I heard a girl say.

"What is she even wearing" another said.

"Don't even mention the makeup, a clown" one popped out of no where.

It hurt slightly, and I felt pathetic for feeling that way.

"Thank you" I spun around to face them.

Their jaws dropped as I walked past them. Turning up my music, I started to look for the principal's office.

Walking up the stairs I realize "Arms tonite" by mother mother has started playing.

Getting to the top of the stairs I realize how beautiful every girl here is, I love women.

I shook my head to remember my task at hand, to look for the principal's office.

"And hey. You. Don't you think it's kinda cute that I. Died. Right inside your arms tonight" I mouthed the lyrics.

Some guy looked down at me weirdly, asshat.

"I cry in the afterlife" I started to ouch up my pace. "I cry hard because I have died. And you're alive. I try to escape afterlife."

Spinning around to look for any signs, tripping over my own god damn feet into someone.

The person I bumped into grabbed my earbuds, pulling them out as we inevitably ended up falling into their arms.

Their arms wrapped around my waist and head, pressing my face into their chest.

Just my luck we roll all the way down the stairs, together, as our bodies pressed together.

I'd be lying if I said this wasn't the worst I'd experienced, but hell this, this was close to being the absolute worst.

When we finally landed on the floor. Their hands snaked off of me, lifting themselves up off me lightly, enough for me to see my mess.

My eyes immediately went to my makeup being smudged all over their shirt, I want to kill myself this is so embarrassing.

As I also realized the person I bumped into was on top of me.

They lift themself completely off of me, but I am still pinned to the ground.

I realize it's also a boy with blue skin. "Oh fu-" my mind raced as I couldn't think straight, "I- umm I'm really sorry," I pathetically apologized, "I sh-should've pay attention to where I was going" I squeaked.

"You're good babe" he smirks.

I'd be a complete liar if I said I didn't get butterflies in other places other than just my stomach.

This is ridiculous, why am I thinking like this now. Of all places to be right now.

"Aww man my shirt" he frowns. I look at his shirt.

"Oh fuck I- I'm so so so so soooooo sorry I really really am I- fuck sorry" I frowned.

Feeling scared and embarrassed I look back up at him. He smiles at me.

Why is he so hot?

I'd be considered a pathological liar at this point for not admitting that he hot.

Are all monsters this hot?

"Hey," he tried calming me.

Not like I was that upset, I just messed up this dudes shirt.

"It's no big deal I can just take it off" he says, finally getting off of me.

I breathe out the breath I didn't realize I was holding.

He stands up, takes his jacket off and lifts up his shirt to take it off.

I sit up, my legs on both sides on me and watch in awe, pathetically sitting in awe of the boy I front of me.

He puts his jacket back on a stuffs the shirt into his backpack.

I watched him, my gaze started to wander down his body.

He looks down at me. His eyes burn into me.

God I'm staring aren't I? I wanted to throw myself into a pit of fire.

"You like what you see?" He asks. I'm my cheeks heat up.

My body temperature starts to get hotter and hotter.

I look away immediately.

"Umm- I- uhh- yes!" What did I just say, "I mean no!" Nice save Y/n, nice save.

"Ahh I mean I-" "Hey! I'm just kidding!" He laughs.

Looking away immediately. Finally I notice a few people staring at us in a circle as if I were in a circus.

Not the worst thing I've experienced but definitely not what I expected here.

Although I felt even hotter now that I knew people were staring, I felt sick.

"Here" the boy says sticking his hand out, "let's get you up off the floor" he says.

I smile awkwardly and pathetically.

As I grabbed his hand, shockwaves shot through me. His hand, they were cold, extremely cold.

He looked into my eyes, I looked back at his. "You're pupils are really big" He blurts out.

"I-" I pause, "they're uhh contacts" I quickly say, lying obviously.

"Hmm cool either way" he pauses and pulls me closer to him, "you're gorgeous" he whispers in my ear.

My knees nearly give in. I almost fall one again. I slightly fall into his arms.

"Thank you" I diverted my eyes from his. "I should uh go look for the principal's office" I told him.

"Hmm, makes sense," he shrugged, "speaking of which" he steps back, "I don't seem to recognize you" he smirks.

"Oh I-umm" a small awkward smiled lined my lips, "I j-just transferred from a uhh," think Y/n, think! "A human school," nice save, "yeah a human school" I struggle.

He tilts his head.

"Really?" He asks.

I aggressively nod my head, trying to sell it.

"Looking at you actually you do look like a human" he steps forwards closer to me. "Do you have a freaky flaw" he smirks.

"Ayo," I lightly laughed, "Sir please slow down" I lift my finger up. "We just met, you don't gotta be asking me these type of questions" I tuck my finger back in my hand.

"I just need to find the principal's office." I stood back a few steps from him. "Please."

"Oh yeah it's that way" he points, "I can take yo-" "no no I can manage" I cut him off walking to where he pointed.

This is single-handedly the moment that will push me to my death.
