This is my story about a germophobe who goes to a supposedly fancy school and ends up at a dump. Or at least she thinks. I'm just getting started on it but it will be posted within a couple of days. I wonder if someone is actually reading this or if I'm just righting this summary because I could just start my story, but I don't have my computer with me. Just wanted to give a heads up that there will be a story on here soon. By the way, if you are reading this... you are the freak.

~Alessandria's POV~

I walked up to this building that was supposedly the school I was just recently enrolled in. It didn’t look anything like a school though, more like a job. Even the door handle felt disgusting as I opened the double doors and walked right in the path of a paper airplane. This was no school, definitely not a workplace, this was a jungle. Things flying every which way. Paper airplanes, every kind of ball you could think of, it was being flung across the room.

The definition of this school was so much different than how it was explained on the internet. They said it was the best high school in the county. I hope they were wrong. If this was the best high school in the county, what was this world coming to? I walked past two students locked at the lips, trying to find the office. I walked into a room that must have been sound proof, because when I opened the door, everybody in the room looked up at me, the new kid, who doesn’t know anything, but when the door shut, silence. This must be the office I think.

The lady at the counter, who was still looking at me, confirmed that this was the office. “Um, I’m Alessandria Sergio.” She looked at me like she had no idea what I was talking about. “I’m the new kid.” Something must have clicked then, because she said “Oh” and went to get my file from her desk.

“I’m sorry, we have ten new students today, and I forget to think about that every time one walks in.” She said in a peaceful smile. I didn’t buy it though. One thing I did know for sure was that I wasn’t going to like this place much. Everything looked dirty. I could see the grease on the counter. She gave me the information I needed and I ran into the bathroom to wash my hands. I thought I was gonna die.

I got a whiff of the bathroom and turned around and left. I had to have some germ-x in my bag. I walked outside and smiled at the fresh air. I set my bag on the bench and reached into it for the germ-x. I found it and rubbed it on every piece of free skin. I heard someone walk up behind me who was wearing a pink shirt and blue jeans. I figured it was some stuck up preppy girl. I turned around to see a guy staring at me laughing. “What are you looking at? With all the germs in this place, you should use some too.”

“Can I? I’ve been trying to get my mom to buy me some for years. She said it was too expensive.”

“Sure,” I said handing it to him trying hard not to touch his hand with mine. What if he doesn’t wash his hands? “Something that kills germs should never be too expensive.”

He said thanks while handing it back to me. “Are you the new girl? Alessandria Sergio? I shook my head. Why was he talking to me? I don’t do small talk. “Did I pronounce it right?” I shook my head again. He must have realized my hesitation to talk to him. “My name is Brennan Tully. What classes do you have? You’re a Senior right?”

“Yeah,” Was all I said while handing him my schedule list.

“That’s interesting. We have the same classes.” When he said that the bell rang to go to our first classes. “Do you know where your locker is?”

I shook my head no. “Here, let me carry your bag. I’ll show you around the school.” I hesitated but my gut feeling told me to trust him. So I handed him my bag. It wasn’t that heavy, I didn’t have any books yet. We walked into the school that was now quiet, and he showed me to my locker.

~ Alessandria's POV~

Brennan walked me to our classes and helped me find certain stuff around the school all day. I was wrong about this school though. It's not loud at all. Must just be in the morning before school. In classes everything was quiet. Every room is sound proof and clean, they even have little sound proof rooms for working in if you need it quiet. I was sure glad Brennan helped me out all day, because without his help I would never have found 4th hour Physics. It was in a total different wing of the building. The stupidest thing I have ever seen. The only bad thing was the small talk. He kept asking me questions like where I wanted to go to college. He told me he wanted to go to NWTC for Criminal Justice. I told him I wanted to go to NMU, but I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I didn't like much. I could do something where I was in an office all day as long as I got to say who was able to come in it all day. I wouldn't mind that much, because I know I wouldn't have a problem keeping it clean.

I have never had a boyfriend before but I think this is how it is supposed to feel. I wonder if he feels the same way? I would never know unless I asked him, but I made a promise after I asked somebody out in 8th grade that I would never ask a guy out, but I might say yes if they asked me. I can't break that now.

The bell rang for the end of the day and Brennan asked if I needed a ride home and I told him I drove this morning so no, but he still walked me out to my truck which was a 2010 Toyota Tundra.

"Wow, this is your truck?" Brennan said shocked.

"Yeah, why?" Was my reply.

"Well, it's probably the best vehicle in this lot."

I looked around and realized he was probably right. "Oh, right, well I better go."

"Right, So I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I'm sure I'll see you saying as in we have the same classes... Hey, thanks for all your help today. I don't think I could have made it without you."

"Yeah, no problem. Ya know, I'm the star quarterback on the football team and my friend and I are going out afterward if you want to come?"

"Um, I'll think about it could I let you know tomorrow?"

"Yeah, whenever."

"Alright, thanks again." I said turning into the truck. I turned on and drove home. I didn't tell him that my home, was an hour away.

~ Alessandria's POV~

While I was driving home, I listened to one of my favorite bands, 30 Seconds To Mars. Attack came on and I silently drove home, wishing with all my heart I was not falling for Brennan even though I knew the feeling was forming.

By the time I had gotten home, I had listened to all of 30 Seconds To Mars, along with a little Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. I walked inside to an empty space. No one was here, I could sense it. I went to find my room and loved the cleanness the room brought me. I hated being away from it. I wondered if I could ever tell Brennan my secrets. If I could ever trust him. That didn't work out the last time.

~3 months ago~

I tried to force myself to believe that what I did was for the best. I told him about me. About myself who was none like anyone else. I was there, trusting these people who were totally different from me. I couldn't believe that. Why was I so stupid to tell them my secrets.

I flipped through the channels of my T.V. and found a news broadcasting with a picture of a question mark. Who is this one, who believes she is better than anyone else? She cannot be trusted. There are others out there like her-- If only they knew. --who are trying to kill our kind. I turned of the T.V. and jumped off the couch. I knew they were talking about me, but I didn't want to believe that he actually turned me in. I couldn't. He was special. Different. He wouldn't have done this to me. Lazarus wouldn't do this to me.

~Present time~

I lied down on my bed remembering, this stuff that happened. It was happening again, only this time faster. It wasn't supposed to turn out this way. Why did he have to meet me, why did he want me to meet his friends? I couldn't believe it, but I had too. It was happening.

~2 months ago~

Lazarus was walking toward me. I could hear his soothing voice. "Why? Why did you do this to me?" I did this to you? Look what you are doing to me! I wanted to shout at him, but all that came out was a quiet "I'm Sorry"

I walked up to him, and saw the pain in his eyes as I was saying goodbye. It had to end. He turned me in, I trusted him, and he turned me in. I ended it quickly though. No sense for him to be in pain for long, but there was no other way. He had to end.

~Present time~

Laying in bed, I realized I was crying, he really did get to me. Lazarus was my life for almost five years, but he betrayed me, so I had to end it. That was the end of it, no ifs, ands, or buts. It was over, and it was all my fault.

I had to act normal with Brennan. I couldn't tell him anything, for a very, very long time. He couldn't know. I couldn't tell him, if I did I would have to end a life again and I knew it. There was none of their species that could be trusted with the whole truth, only portions, and some lies. He would just have to suffer with that for a very, very long time. Until we are the only ones, or until his life is over. Eventually he will realized that I do not age and I suspect he will be sad to find out the truth, and if needed there could be an accident. A car accident or something, that helped me out in the long run.

Two things I was sure of:
1- I was damn sure, I was falling for Brennan.
2- I was way damn sure, there was no way I could tell him the truth of who I am, and he will just have to deal with it.
