Sapphire's POV

I'm in my bed right now with my knees onto my chest while my arms wrapped around it. Blake just leave awhile ago after he said that I was beautiful. I huff.

Me? Beautiful? I don't think so. That's why no guy ever liked me because of it. I'm innocent, well if that what some people say about me. I know most guys like girls who knows how to flirt, sexy, very seductive, beautiful and all of that shit.

I sigh, pulling my knees to my chest even more.

But Blake... The way he said I was beautiful sounds like, he really mean every word and me on the other hand is just too blind to see it. Well shit. I always look myself in the mirror and all I see is a dead corpse. Right.

"You are beautiful Sapphire, you're just too blind to see it."

Those meaningful words are still ringing in my ears. Fucking Demon. I'm not blind for goodness sake. I'm ugly and that's it. I'm not sexy nor beautiful. Why can't he see it? How come I look beautiful into his empty black eyes?

I groan.

I swear, I'm going to fucking kill him later for making my head hurt and confused at the same time. Fuck it.

I went towards my closet and grap my tank tops along with my jeans. I wore them quickly as I grab my purse and grab my jacket, throwing them over my back. I comb my hair, letting my dark brown hair fall onto my shoulder.

I wear my black boots as I walk out of my door and locked it behind me since mom is not here anymore and dad isn't home. The keys are in my purse so no problem.

I made my way to the sidewalk and walk quietly. I scan my surroundings. The town is so quiet that it could almost hurt your ears. Even if it still early in the morning, the whole place is dark. No wonder this place is creepy. I sigh.

I stopped walking when I spotted a bookstore not far away from where I'm standing. I went towards it.

I open the door slowly and went inside. They were few people inside too, roaming around the shop. I went to the bookshelves as I scan the books freely. They're so many. I smiled.

If you're wondering, yes I'm a book lover that's why my classmates back then always call me 'nerdy'. I don't know, books seems to interest me and its cool.

I slightly jump when a hand touch my shoulder and turn around.

"I-i'm sorry for scaring you. My name's James Lucas"

The boy maybe about my age smiled at me sweetly. His bronze hair was kinda messy and his eyes were blue. Wow. I never thought there some hot guy living in this town and look, I found one.

What about Blake?

Nevermind.

"Sapphire Gates" I handed him my hand for a shake and he glady shook it with his.

"I'm new here in this town" He stated. I gasp softly. Oh my gosh.

I felt bad for him, he's trapped. Well stupid Blake did this shitty thing anyway. Yup, I was talking about his curse. I sigh.

"I'm new here too. I just got here few weeks ago" I said.

He smiled at me.

"You're my first friend here Sapphire ever since I got here yesterday. I want to take you out for lunch, are you free?" He suggested. Fucking what? This isn't a date yet right? Oh what a stranger.
