Little Mate

Chapter 1

I entered the lunch room that was the first time I saw them. There skin like mine. I don't know why I wasn't able to look away, wasn't able to go back to listening to Aureanna and Vivian ramble on. All I could do was stare at them, without being able to even blink.

There were five of them sitting at the table. All of them were deep in conversation, whispering to each other at an impossible pace.

I could understand what there saying it's just I didn't want to eavesdrop It wasn't until one of them stood up to empty her tray that I noticed their height. She must have been just under six feet tall, with short cut black hair. Her russet skin contrasted amazingly to mine. Despite her height, her movements were graceful as a ballerina.

Vivian finally noticed that I wasn't listening to her, and giggled when she noticed who I was staring at.

"Who are they?" I whispered to her.

"They're the Greys and the Danvers. The girl with the short black hair is Emily Grey, and the girl with long hair is Cecilia Danvers . The tallest boy is Hunter Gray , the big one is Shawn Gray , and the last one is Damon Grey . Two of them were adopted by Cara and Dr.Grey, but Cecilia and Shawn really are twins." She said this all faster than I thought a human could talk possible.

The one called Damon caught my attention the most. His black hair was perfectly messy, hair falling slightly onto his forehead, and his shirt clung to his well-muscled chest. He had nice features, and beautiful dark brown eyes. Vivian, deciding to finally pay attention to my actions, started talking again.

"Shawn and Cecilia are together, and so are Mary and Hunter. Damon doesn't date though, he says he's too busy. Don't waste your time". She must have been turned down by him multiple times judging by the look on her face.

"Don't Worry. I won't, he may be pretty, but he's not my type." I said then I glanced at them, Damon was staring at me slightly puzzled.

That's when we made eye contact, I couldn't look away. I was suddenly lost in his eyes. I look away scolding myself about staring at the Grey boy.

The rest of them had gotten up and walked to the trashcan, all having the same graceful motions; even Hunter.

"Are they new here?" I asked Vivian.

I'm sure I would have seen them during one of my visits.

"No, they have been here a while."

Maybe it was just my memory failing me. But how could I have forgotten the Greys? The bell that signaled lunch had ended rung, and I gathered my things together quickly. Running to my class, then I tripped just before I reached Biology. A pair of arms, that were the same temperature as my body, which is impossible because, my body temperature is wait for it 109 replaced the hard concrete, and I looked up into the soft dark brown eyes of Damon Grey.

"Thanks", I muttered, keeping my voice low.

"You're welcome", He replied in a husky voice, and stood me upright. He walked quickly to the building I was just about to enter, and sat down at one of the black-topped tables. Julian, a boy who had felt the need to follow me around today, had caught up to me.

"Hey Eliza. Sorry, I already have a lab parter. I could ask to switch if you like". He looked at me hopefully, with a small hint of jealousy.

"Thanks Julian, but I wouldn't want to inconvenience Vivian. I'll just take whatever empty seat they have". I could see now why he was jealous. Damon Grey sat at the only other empty table, only his books taking up the space.

"Emilia", Mr. Wood's voice came from behind me, I turned around, then he reached for my hand, I internally cringed. I shook his, hand. I knew my temperature surprised him. I immediately pulled back
