rapidly. But he went in anyways. “NO!” I bark. I turned back into my original self. And I ran into him, he looked at me, baffled. But I grabbed him and threw him far away and I flash back to the tree where I left my stuff. I stuffed my food down my throat, and flashed myself back to school. I looked around and saw him on the floor near some bushes. The bell rang and I headed to my last class P.E.


Chapter 4



“Ok, time to team up!”Coach hollered. “Time for football.” I stood in line with the rest of the class. Roy was one of the captains. So was Matt. “Lori,” Roy winked at her she smiled and flipped her hair. I shook my head in shame. “Puck.” I looked around to find who was calling my name. “Puck over here.” I turned over to Matt. “Me?” He shook his head. I was the last one to be chosen for a team, like always. I turned to look at Roy. He winked at me and I flipped him off and headed over to coach, “Coach, I don’t feel so good.” I grabbed my stomach and I made a heaving noise. Coach backed away, “Head over to the nurse’s office and I’ll dismiss you for the day.” I nodded, “Here coach, since she’s really sick I’ll carry her to the nurse unless, she really isn’t sick.” Roy grinned evilly, I growled and nodded. “Alright then Roy.”
He swiftly picked me up and carried me bridal style. “You dickhead.” I growled softly. “You know you love it.” He winked and he carried me off the field.
“Wait, I’m gonna get my stuff.” I opened the locker room to find some stoners smoking, they bobbed their head in greeting, and I giggled and did the same. I took the joint they passed on and I took a big swag at it. I sighed in relief and I quickly got my stuff. “Hey don’t stay too long the teachers will come by here soon.” They nodded their thanks and I left.
I took the back side and headed to the nurses myself. I giggled at the image of Roy standing there, still waiting for me. I walked down the hall and got all my stuff from my locker. I slammed the locker and turned over to find Roy standing there angry as hell. I shook my head and walked away to the nurses. I could hear Roy’s steps right behind me. Then he picked me up again. “God, Roy I can walk I’m not crippled.” He chuckled, “Then what’s up with that eye?” I shook my head and laid it on Roy’s chest. I could hear his beating and breathed along with it.
“What’s your story Puck?” I was startled, “What?”
“What’s your story, come on you can tell me.” I laugh out loud at this, “I could never trust you with my past Roy. You should know that.” He shrugged, “Well, if not the past what about the future?” I shrugged, “I don’t know, I’ll just go with the flow of my own beat.” We were at my room door now. Roy put me down and we just stood there. “Roy, can I ask you something?”
“Go ahead.”
“Why are you so scared of Brittany?” I could feel his hands tense around me, and he set his head on the back of my shoulder. “What are you talking about?” He laughed at my remark. “I’ll tell you my story once I’m ready, and you’ll tell me yours once you’re ready as well.” I opened my door and walked in. I turned around to face Roy, “And don’t worry I won’t tell anybody about our friendship.” I smiled and Roy took me into a big bear hug. And then I closed the door. I set my stuff on my desk and blasted my music. I took off my uniform and put on some shorts and my guns n’ roses band shirt on. “Woah!” I laughed as I sang along with Guns N’ Roses. “Take me down to paradise city!”
“Hey what’s going on?” Lori cried over my 80’s rock. She smiled at me, “I love this song.”
“Me too.” We started to sing together. Doing the wacky 80’s dancing. We both tumbled to the floor laughing. “Didn’t know you were this much fun.” I laughed, “Most people just judge a book by their cover here.”
“Sorry I didn’t get to know you better.” I shrugged, “Don’t trip, and hey sorry I growled at you and your mom, just thought you were one of Brittany’s zombie slaves.” She hesitated at this. I smiled, “Don’t worry I won’t tell Brittany that we actually talk.” She jumped with joy, “Really?” I nodded.
The door knocked and I got up to answer it. Matt walked in, “We need to talk.” Crap! Yey!

What the hell this isn’t a “yey” moment. He sat down on my bed, “Alone.” His gazed turned over to Lori, he growled for her to get out. She got up quickly and I followed her to door assuring her I would be ok.
Once I closed the door I flashed punched him in the face. He rubbed his face, “Ow, what the hell was that for?” I nodded, “So you are like me, I knew it.” No wonder his blood tasted extra good. I lick my lips at the reminder of it. “If I hit a normal person with that kind of force I would have snapped their neck.” He nodded in agreement. Then I was against the wall with him cornering me. He pinned my hands against the wall and I hissed at him. He simply crushed his lips against mine, I melt right there in that very spot. His lips felt so right, being in his arms felt so complete.
I woke up from my daze and slapped him with my full force. He stood there astonished. I pushed him off then and jumped out of the (open) window. I landed on one of the poles and swung myself to the nearest tree. I darted from one tree to another. Trying to get away from the misery. I got to my sanctuary and sat in the cave that the waterfall hide from sight. “Puck!!” Matt screeched. He had the demon screech that I had. I cringed in went further in the cave. Don’t let him find me. Don’t let him find me please. What are you talking about? You should be with him and calm his misery.

What kind of misery could he possibly have? The misery of losing you not once but twice now that you ran from him.

What? Just talk to him and you’ll find out.

Then something pulled me, not physically but I was drawn to it.
Go with it, trust me.

I sighed and decided to go out. I stood at the mouth of the cave. Matt turned around mad, but relieved to see me. He dived in the water and swam to me. I sat down on the stone floor and put my feet in the water. The chill of it sort of reminded me that I was still there. “Matt?” He was at my side by now. “Puck, god I missed you.” He grabbed me in a tight hug. I didn’t move though. Great, you hurt his feels now.

I sighed and hugged him back. “Puck, don’t you remember me?” I nodded, “Couldn’t believe it was you, until you told me about the date we were suppose to go on.” I giggled.
“What happened to you?” he caressed my face and kissed my lost eye. “Who did this to you?” He tensed up at this. I knew he would get mad. I sighed, “Didn’t you hear it all happen.” His face went blank, and he got furious now. “How could you joke about this, who would ever try to injure you?” I shrugged.
“I visited you at the hospital every day, and then you were gone. I thought you died. Why would have just leave without saying good-bye?” I laughed, “You would be surprise at my answer.”
“Shot.”
“Well, you see, I didn’t want to say good-bye because they mean forever and I didn’t want you to get sad.” I laughed at my own foolishness, “Sorry for the misery.” He shook his head, “Don’t worry about it, so about your parents, they didn’t tell you did they?” I shook my head, “Yours did, didn’t they?” He nodded, “You have no idea how much I missed you, I always did like you.” I smiled, “Yeah, I did too. But I only had nightmares of the night it all happened.”
Matt kissed me again and I went with it this time. Melting into it, but I pulled away. Matt just looked disappointed, “Matt I can’t.”
“Why not, I’ve missed you so much I just want to be with you right now.” I shook my head, “We have to take this slowly, please, for me?” He nodded and set me on his lap and we just sat there in each other’s arms watching the sky darken before us. “We were meant for each other Puck.” His hug around me tightened. I soon realized that I was sharing my sanctuary with him. Its ok he won’t tell anybody, make him pinky-swear.

“Pinky-swear on your life you won’t tell anybody about this place.” I put up my pinky as he entwined his with mine. “I pinky-swear I won’t tell anybody about our little sanctuary.” He winked, but I was just annoyed, “Not OUR, just mine if you ask I’ll let you in but not so easily.” I growled and he just chuckled and kissed my head, “God, I missed that.” I sighed and surrender. “Why, did you want to go trick-or-treating with me and not that one girl everyone said you were crushing on?”
“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” I laughed, “We are dark creatures, what can’t I believe?” He chuckled, “Well, it was like a voice was tell me to go out with you cause you were more and everything I wanted.” I stopped. He had the same thing going on like me. I didn’t tell him anything about mine. What if he was lying to me? I couldn’t take that chance.
My stomach then growled. “God all of the shit that happened has gotten me hungry, well we gotta go and check in the dorms.” I got up and flashed to the front of my dorms. I looked around expecting Matt to be right next to me, but he wasn’t. I shrugged to myself and headed to my room.
“Lori, hey I’m back, did you get any--” I froze at Lori and Roy making out with each other. I walked over to Roy and slapped him. Lori and Roy just sat there shocked by what happened, “Oh my god, Puck I didn’t know you were into Roy, I’m so sorry.” I ignored Lori and looked Roy into his eyes, “Roy that was
