Chapter 1

    Today is windy and gloomy… just how I like it. I wake up and take a shower preparing for another miserable day at Emerald Lake Superior High School. After showering, I find my black sweater dress, put on my white socks, and but on my black gym shoes. I comb my short dark blue hair into place and use bangs to cover up my burned left eye.  I ate some strawberry pop tarts, drank some orange juice, brushed my teeth, then grabbed my satchel and heading out the door.  The cold wind blew past me and I didn't care as I continued to trudge on to school. I made it to school and put up my book satchel and took out my books I needed for all of my class periods (It's not a lot either).
     I walked to my first period class, English Literature, and I sat down by the window looking at the leaves swirling in the winds. "Ahh, how it would feel to get away from here and meet a new special friend. " I said in my head.  I started on my class work and I finished that along with the homework that was given. For the remaining minutes of the period, I began to draw a picture of a black wolf with beautiful royal blue eyes. Soon as I was about to start on the tail and the streak going down his back, "RIINNG!!!!" the bell rang. I grabbed my belongings and walked to second period history.
    I sat in the back once again, to avoid any stupid confrontations with the popular crowd. Because I'm emo, they always find a way to talk about me. I began to finish my wolf picture, ignoring the movie that our history teacher put on about the Egyptian deserts.  "All most done." I said in my head and noticed only the popular kids were awake and my friend Kiel. I finished the final details and named my drawn wolf, Nicholai Deadlock.  As soon as I named him, one of my classmates, whom I have a crush on (and is also my only friend), came up to me and looked at my picture. He scanned it, observing every detail, every marking, shading, and outlines I made. "I like it Sayuri." He said in his usual voice when he hears or sees something that sparks his interest.  "Thanks Kiel…." I said quietly as I signed my name on my picture. I guess he only came because I was drawing my picture.
      The bell rang and I went to geometry hoping to beat everyone and with extraordinary luck, I did. Kiel was the second one in class and he sat by me which was a new thing for me.  We had a test and of course, I knew I was going to do ok on it.  After testing, I went to Spanish class and noticed that Kiel sat by me, yet again! I began writing and it felt like somebody was looking at me. I looked up at the board and I noticed Kiel was glancing at me. I sighed quietly and went back to my writing and noticed that his eyes were still on me. My cheeks tinged a bit…What the hell!? Why am I blushing? After Spanish, I went to the abandoned stairwell for lunch and I took out my IPOD putting on my favorite song, Suicide by System of a Down. I began to sing quietly…
"Wake up!"
"Grab a brush and put on a little make up!"
"Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup…"
"Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?"
"Here you go creating another fable! (You wanted to!)"
"Grab a brush and put on a little make up! (You wanted to!)"
"Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup… (You wanted to!)"
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table? (You wanted to!)"
"I don't think you trust…in…my…self righteous suicide…."
"I cry…when angels deserve to …die!!!!!"
    I noticed that I felt a person beside me and I looked, nobody was there. I continued to sing then I noticed that I saw a boy who I'd never seen before at the school. His hair was in a short ponytail going back; he had my dark complexion, and wore a black shirt with black jeans and some all black gym-shoes. He glanced up at me through his sunglasses and red tinged my cheeks. (He is cute…very cute!) I continued to listen to music and he started walking up the stairway towards me. He stood in front of me then sat by me. I felt myself blush a bit then continued to listen to music as the boy kept on looking at me. He began to say something and I paused my IPOD to I hear him better.
     "Are you emo?" He asked. I got offended instantly. "Yes, I am." I said very annoyed. I guess he picked it up and gave me a sympathetic look. "Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you or anything." He said sort of sadly. I sighed starting to feel bad for my tone of voice. "It's ok." I said and un-paused my IPOD and turned down the volume.  I flipped through the songs and found one of my all time favorite songs: S & M by Rhianna.  I sang the lyrics in my head and I guess the volume was too loud because the boy tapped me. "Hey! I know that song!" He said with a nice smile.  I smiled at him and continued to listen to the music. He tapped me again and I looked at him. "What's your name?" he asked me. "Sayuri RedBlood," I said quietly. "But I sort of like it if you just call me Sayuri for short."  He smiled and it made me blush once again. "My name is Nicholai Deadlock, nice to meet you."  He shook my hand and I shook his.
    He has the same name as my picture…….could he really be my drawn character?
