Hunters

Noted.

"So what's your name" Ivey, a overly preppy girl asked me. She was blonde with perfect hair, make up and nails. I'm Surprised she didn't have a bunch of horny guys behind her.

"Mel.." I answered the blonde girl, picking off the rest of my hang nail. She was wearing black and pink running shorts with a black long- sleeved shirt that said ' got cheer?'. That explains the over preppyness.

"Are you gonna do a sport? Because you'd be perfect as a cheerleader, you have that build.... but the black on black.. on black will have to go." she said eyeing my black jeans, black hoodie, and black vans.

"um no thanks. I think I'll just sign up for track.." the team looked more my speed. They all wore black, they didn't seem to find an interest in anything or anyone. walking over I went to reach for a pen when a hand grabbed me.

"Excuse you. Hands off of me" I yanked back. Growing up I was taught not to let a random person touch me, and on top of that I hate people.

"That's for returning runners, Your new. You need to go through try-outs first before your name can make the list." The boy said.

"noted. next time don't touch me" I said narrowing my eyes.

"trust me, I don't want to touch you." he said winking at me.

The rest of the day was a blur, and I don't mean because I'm new. I literally don't remember much. There were so many people and so many things to remember that I just couldn't. Being new sucked but what sucked more was the fact that I felt helpless without my dad. He died over the summer. How'd he die? vampires. Yea I know. My mom had told him not to trade with them because they're slick. Well he did anyways and I somehow got caught in the middle and my dad stepped in and they killed him. For some crazy reason they thought they could claim me for their prince. Orders from the king. Good thing my moms a vampire hunter. Bad thing about her: she won't teach me how to hunt. she doesn't even let me out past dark. By sunset I have to be home with the doors locked.

On the walk home the boy from earlier ran to catch up to me.

"Mel wait up" he yelled after me.

"what could you possibly want from me? Are you stalking me!?" I asked taking a step back from the dark haired boy in front of me.

"As If. Why don't you listen for 5 seconds without running your mouth? We want you. Tracks about to start why don't you join in." it was almost like he wasn't giving me a choice.

"no." I said and turned to go. He made it pretty clear they didn't want a newbie.

"Mel! wait please I didn't mean to be rude. I just- being captain I have to make the right moves. I want you to come try out. Please. One day?" he smiled. He had clear blue eyes and soft brown hair. That only complemented his smile.

"fine. But I need clothes" I stated trying to get out of it.

"My sister will loan you some and you can wash them and give them back later" he said.

As we started walking back towards the school, I saw a pair of eyes in the bushes next to him. when I made eye contact with them they quickly fled. weird..
