First Day of School
By: Micah
My alarm
went off at 6:00 on the dot. I was not
a morning person by any means, but that’s why God created coffee. For us people
who aren’t morning people. I slapped my alarm off, got up, showered, and got
dressed. Dante hated waking up early in the morning more than I did, so he
tended to hibernate until late afternoon, or when I needed him. We would get
our schedules at school this morning. Sometimes, I wish I had a twin to talk
to. I mean, Kira and Kieran are close and they talk all the time. Oh well, it
doesn’t really matter. I have Dante to talk too. I did catch up with Emma, though,
over the summer. Turns out, we have our AP Chemistry class together, as well as
our AP English—again. We agreed to be partners because we got along well last
year for labs and stuff.
Kieran was
still in his room when I knocked and walked in as he was pulling on his pants.
“So, how
goes it?” I asked as he shrugged
Kieran also has snake bites and longish hair, only his is a
dusty blonde with brown it in and he has emerald eyes. We’re both brothers, I’m
older than him by a few months.
“Eh.
Alright, I guess” He shrugged, pulling his shirt on as I raised an eyebrow
“So, gonna
ask Rachelle out this year?” I laughed at his expression. Kieran will be a
freshman this year. I knew that he had a thing for Rachelle, just like I had a
thing for Emma.
“Shut up,
man” He muttered as he grabbed his bag.
I grinned wolfishly as we headed downstairs for breakfast.
Kieran’s on the football team and me? Nope. Nada. No sport for Micah. I did,
however, have to bring my glasses with me. Everybody says that I look really
good with them on, but I just shrugged them off. Anyway, I grabbed some toast
and coffee for my breakfast.
“You should
eat more, Micah” Shawn informed me, handing me a plate full of eggs, sausage
and hash browns as I shook my head.
“Nah. I’ll
take those sausages, though” I declined, but took the sausages, wrapping them
in a paper towel. I sat at the table, yawning.
Now that Kieran’s a freshman, I told him I’d give him a ride
if he wanted. He said that’d be cool, so now I’m just waiting on him.
***
I had Breaking Benjamin playing all the way to
school and parked in my parking spot. We both headed inside to get our
schedules and we ran into Emma and Rachelle. Turns out, they’re step sisters.
Eh, who knew? Emma and I walked to our lockers (Which, as it turns out, was
right next to each other) and talked about this and that.
“I heard
Mr. Marshall is a tough teacher” she said, grabbing her AP Chemistry book as I
rolled my eyes.
“You said
that about Mr. McGraw. He turned out fine.”
“But that
was AP BIOLOGY, Micah. This is Chemistry!” She stated as I once again rolled my
eyes.
“Blah blah
blah, Emma. Imagine what Human Anatomy and Physiology is going to be like.” I
informed her as she covered her ears as I chuckled.
We arrived to our new classroom and sat next together. I
took out a piece of paper and began to draw. Emma put her head on my shoulder,
yawning. Her long brown hair was braided today as she watched me draw.
“Whatcha
drawin?” She asked as I shrugged.
“I don’t
know.” Was my response.
By the time I got done with my drawing, the final bell had
rung. I put the sketch in my binder as the rest of the class shuffled in. Mr.
Marshall walked in and looked at each of us.
“The person
you’re sitting next to is going to be your lab partner for the rest of the
year. You may not switch lab partners unless you absolutely cannot work
together, then you may come see me.” He informed us. His gaze was sharp and
penetrating as I felt Dante stir inside me. Calm
down, Dante. I don’t like him Neither do I, but quit it I scolded
mentally as I glanced over the stapled syllabus. Emma and I glanced at each
other briefly before paying attention.
***
“He’s
creepy” Was the first thing she said when he walked out of class.
“No shit”
was my reply
He assigned homework. He listed all of the assignments and
lab stuff in the syllabus, as well as page numbers. Emma and I have Chemistry,
English, Art, and lunch together. I’m sometimes weary of Emma, just because I’m
waiting for her to betray me and find out that she’s only hanging out with me
because of some stupid bet or dare. But I can read people’s thoughts, and she’s
not like that.
Emma works
at the popular little bakery downtown and I work at a comic book shop as well
as the coffee shop across the street from her. I had to take on another job to
help myself to pay bills. Seeing as I’m 16, they can only work me so many hours
and they know that I’m in school. I’m stubborn and refuse to ask my parents for
money, even if that means not having any time to me. I even sensed Dante’s
worry, but I shoved it down.
***
Around
lunch time, I was sitting outside under a tree. Emma took my notebook and
placed a huge piece of pizza in front of me as I looked at her.
“You need
to eat, Micah.” She informed as I sighed.
“I’m not
hungry, I have coffee, Emma” She narrowed her eyes
“Micah
James Conover! You will eat!” She snapped as I sighed, taking a huge bite out
of the pizza. Giving her a “Happy yet” look as she sat next to me, eating her slice.
“Did you
know that if you keep drinking coffee, soon enough it’ll turn into an appetite
suppresser?” She informed me as my eyebrow rose.
“Of course
I knew. Why do you think I drink coffee?” I asked, chuckling softly when she
wacked me.
“Seriously,
Micah…” She sighed, her voice dropping low enough so only I could hear it.
“Does Dante
know?”
She’s the only human who knew of Dante and what I am as I
sighed.
“Of course
he does.”
We ate our
lunch in a comfortable silence as we went back inside. I knew that people were
staring and whispering. Why would Emma hang out with what they thought was the
“emo boy” at school? Emma told off the head cheerleader, Alexis last year,
because we were hanging out more. You don’t wanna get Emma angry. She’s told me
stuff she said she would never tell anybody else. I told her about Dante and
she said she wouldn’t tell anybody.
***
My last
class of the day was English. Emma and I sat next to each other as the teacher
went over her syllabus and what books we’ll be reading throughout the course of
the year, and the first book we’re going to be reading is Jane Eyre by Jane Austin.
Oh Joy. We got a book and a study guide. The rest of the class, we went over
the first day of school crap.
***
I was
loaded down with homework and I had my shift at the coffee shop tonight. I work
from 4-8 and then I get to come home and work on all my homework. Sounds like
fun, huh? Eh. My favorite candy is Sour Patch Kids and Warheads. I have at
thing for sour candy and Emma knows it. We walked to my car with me as I
unlocked it.
“What about
your brother?” She asked as I shrugged
“He has
football practice. His dad will pick him up.” I replied as we got in.
Emma and I grew up together. Well, that is, we’ve been in
every class together. I knew she was interested in me, but I shrugged it off.
Emma’s on the girls’ basketball team and the track team also. She’s kind of
popular and I’m not. I pulled out of the school parking lot and drove around.
“Where did
you wanna go?” I asked as she shrugged
I knew a place, so I took us there. It was a beautiful spot
that nobody knew about as I turned off the car. We sat in a comfortable
silence. I can tell you this: I’m no virgin. I have sex with girls. Granted,
they’re one night stands, but I didn’t really care about them anyway. I undid
my seat belt and went outside to sit on the hood of the car, Emma joined me
shortly. I grabbed my pack of smokes as she knocked them out of my hand.
“What the
fuck?” I asked as she narrowed her eyes
“Since when
do you smoke?” She asked
“Since last
year”
“They’ll
kill you”
“At least
I’ll die happy”
The look in her eyes when I said that. Ah shit…
“Emma…” I
said as she got off the car, picked up the smokes and thrusted them at me.
“Here, have
your fucking cigarettes!” She yelled, storming to the passenger side as I
grabbed her arm and whirled her around, smokes dropping as I kissed her, my
hands on either side of her face. She slipped her arms around my neck and
kissed me back. We pulled back a few minutes later, looking at each other.
“I was
wondering when you were gonna do that”
“It was the
only way you’d stop yelling at me… I’ve wanted to do that for a year” I
confessed as she smiled.
“Me too.”
We settled
back on the hood of the car as we continued to make out. She was straddling my
waist as I leaned back against the windshield, my hands on her hips, and her
hands on my bare chest. She moaned as she began to rock her hips over my jean
clad erection as I growled huskily, breaking off the kiss, my fangs out. I
expected her to run, but instead she lightly touched them as I opened my mouth
more, letting her touch them. Then she leaned down and kissed me, our hands
entwined as my phone started going off. I reached for it, answering it.
“Hello?”
Was my rough reply, watching Emma
“You have
half hour to get to work tonight!” Alex’s voice yelled into my ear as I winced
Oh shit. I forgot.
“I’ll be
there.” I snapped before I hung up, my lips trailing down Emma’s throat as she
giggled.
“You
working tonight?” she asked as I muttered a short ‘yes’.
I pulled back, smirking at the hickie on her neck. Turns
out, she was working tonight too. We straightened up and got back in the car as
I drove us back into town.
“Do you go
up there often?” She asked as I shrugged
“Depends on
the type of day I had or am having.” I replied.
I pulled in
as we parked. We kissed as we both went to our jobs. The shift seemed to go by
faster than all the others.
***
I picked
Emma up on my way to school—she lives on Dallas Ave. She got in as I drove us
to school.
“Did you
get the homework done?” She asked as I shrugged
“Yeah, when
I got home.” I answered, yawning as I drank my coffee.
She fiddled with the radio for a few minutes before finally
putting in one of my Bullet for my
Valentine CD’s. Emma loves all sorts of music, but you couldn’t tell that
by looking at her.
“Did you
eat this morning?” she asked as I rolled my eyes
“Yes, mom,
I did” She smacked my arm as she laughed
“Wanna go
off campus for lunch? We can go back to that spot yesterday” she suggested as I
glanced at her. Today, she was wearing a button up shirt (that wasn’t buttoned)
with a pastel blue tank top and she was wearing jean shorts and flip flops. Her
hair was in a side pony today. She looked beautiful. Me? I’m wearing blue
skinny jeans, a white Rob Zombie
shirt and my converse along with my beanie. I reached down into the side of the
door and pulled out some Sour Patch Kids and began eating them. Soon enough,
the school came into sight.
***
Chemistry
class was boring. We turned in our homework and he asked if anybody had any
questions and a few people did. Emma’s head was resting on my arm again as I
struggled to pay attention. Don’t get me wrong, I was writing down notes and
stuff, but I was exhausted.
***
The classes
that I didn’t have with Emma seemed to go by slower, in my opinion. But we
texted each other and I told her that I would meet her out by my car at lunch
time and we can head up there. She agreed, and right now, I was hungry for more
than just food.
***
I was
leaning up against my car when Emma came out, I put out my cigarette as we got
in as I pulled out, driving to my spot. Breaking
Benjamin playing from the CD player.
***
We got in
the same position as we did last night—only this time we’re lying on the
blanket on the ground. She was under me, our hands entwined as I grinded
against her, her soft moans filling my ears, making Dante purr. It’s pretty
easy to lose your sense of time up here, and that’s what I like about it. I
trailed my lips down her neck, licking a the spot between her neck and
shoulder, my fangs brushing over the spot as I shivered. Every instinct in me
screaming to bite her. To make her mine. No.
I want to give her the choice. I pulled back at looked down at her.
Her hair
was mused as she panted, lips swollen from our kissing, face flushed, her tank
top shoved up to expose her blue bra, her legs around my waist. I smirked faintly.
“Kitty.”
Her eyes widened
“H-How did
you know?” She asked as I laughed softly, nuzzling her neck as I heard her
purr.
“I’ve
always known, Emma. Cat-were’s give off a distinct smell. You… you smell like
blueberries and apple cinnamon and it makes my mouth water” I murmured in her
ear as she shivered, arching.
“Plus, you
have cat like features. You walk silently, landing gracefully whenever you
jump, and you love milk.” Laughter entered my voice at that last part as she
smacked my chest as I rolled next to her, both laughing.
“We should
get back…” She said, sitting up as she adjusted her clothes and fixed her hair.
“I wanted you to bite me…Earlier…” She whispered, glancing at him as I tilted
my head.
“You know
what that means?” I asked as she nodded
“Together
forever, Micah.”
I had my parents do a check on Emma and her family and
nothing bad turned up. Her dad’s on the were court, so my mom knows him and
he’s also a chef, her mom’s a senior at a law firm, and she has 17 siblings. We
gathered everything up as we headed back to school.
***
As I sat in
my math class writing down notes, my phone started buzzing. I glanced down at
my lap and found it was Kieran.
‘Can I get a ride?’
I glanced up at the teacher, who had his back to the board
as I rolled my eyes.
‘No practice?’
Buzz.
‘There is. I was just curious.’
Internal sigh.
‘You need to get your driver’s license, little brother’
Buzz.
‘Yes or no, Micah’
I bit back a growl.
‘No. Emma and I are hanging out.’
Buzz
‘Fine’
I went back to writing down notes, my phone going back into
my pocket. For the rest of the class period, I had to hold down Dante from
finding Emma, pushing her up against the nearest wall and biting her, marking
her.
***
After our
last class, Emma and I drove back to the ranch. We didn’t have work, and we
were going to do our homework together. I introduced her to my parents and to
the twins (Mason and Kacey). We headed up to my room, her eyes wide as we
walked down the hallway.
“This place
is huge!” She exclaimed
“You have
no idea” I muttered as we arrived at my door.
She opened the door as we walked in, I flicked on the
lights. The walls were blue and black, I had my TV and entertainment center, my
desk, bed, futon, and my own bathroom. My sketchbook were scattered on my
coffee table. I was up late sketching. It’s what I do when I can’t get Dante to
relax.
Emma
wandered over to my desk and set her backpack down, I was right behind her, my
hands trailing down her sides as I slipped off her button up shirt, tossing it
to the floor. I turned on my stereo, the rock station coming on the radio as I
turned her around, lifting her. Her legs wrapped around me as we kissed.
“W-what if
they hear us?” She asked, taking off my beanie as I let her hair out
“Sound
proofed room” I replied, ridding her of her shirt.
We got each other naked in a matter of minutes as I trailed
my lips down her neck and between her heaving breasts. I loved and licked her
nipples, suckling as she cried out, her hands burying in my hair. I parted her
legs more and looked up at her, parting her.
“Are you a
virgin?” I breathed, my mouth watering at the smell of her arousal, it made my
dick harder.
“N-No…You?”
She asked as I shook my head. I was far from a virgin.
I ate her out, teasing her, making her buck and writhe as
she cried out, her grip on my hair tightening.
“Oh God.
Yes! I’m going to…!” She mewled
I pushed her off the edge as she wailed, orgasming as I
licked and swallowed it all. I shifted slightly, towering over her as I grabbed
a condom, slipping it on, as she panted. We kissed and I nudged my way inside.
We made
love for hours, and half way through, her kitty ears came out. She was so
embarrassed and I told her it made her look more beautiful. My back had her
scratch marks all over it and the last time we orgasmed together, we bit each
other. I had to hold Dante back, but he roared in success as Emma collapsed on
my chest, both of us gasping and sweaty. I moaned when I pulled out, getting
rid of the condom as I gathered her close, both of us falling asleep in each
other’s arms.
***
I awoke
later that night to find Emma curled into me, sleeping. I nuzzled her neck,
kissing her ear as she groaned.
“C’mon,
baby…wake up. We need to shower” I whispered as she blinked up at my sleepily
and yawned, stretching like a cat.
We showered
and went down to the kitchen to grab something to eat before we headed back
upstairs to do our homework. I turned the radio off as she turned the TV on to
some horror movie.
“Did you
see what Rachel was wearing today?” She asked as we pulled out our chemistry
homework.
“Kind of
hard not to. Her breasts were all but out of her shirt.”
“Mr.
Marshall didn’t say anything about it!”
I snorted
“They’re
probably fucking”
She lightly wacked me as I shrugged
“You never
know, babe” I stated as she sighed, nodding in agreement
We ate our pizza and did our homework. I helped her out with
hers.
“How come
you’re already done?” She asked as I shrugged
“This is
easy to me for some reason. But I still struggle sometimes” I told her as she
leaned into me.
***
Days passed
and life went on, Emma and I kept growing closer and closer each day, but Dante
was still restless. What’s the matter,
Dante? You’ve been restless for days now. I need to get out and run, Micah. I didn’t have work until later
tonight and I was at the house, so I went into the middle of the forest and let
Dante out to run.
***
I got back
to the house several hours later to find Emma talking with Kieran. I shifted
and shoved on a pair of jeans and walked up to them. Emma smiled at me, kissing
my chest when I slid my arm around her shoulders.
“Emma give
you a ride?” I asked as he nodded
“It was
raining earlier” He stated as I nodded
Oh, I know. I was out in it. Dante managed to tire himself
out into hibernation, so I half ran, half walked all the way here. I was
exhausted. I wanted to shower and crawl into bed and sleep.
“Did you
still wanna go to the movies?” She asked as I sighed softly, shaking my head
“Sorry,
baby… I’m exhausted” I said as we walked inside, she leaned into me as we
headed up to my room.
“You look
it. I’ll nap with you.”
I got my
shower and dried off, I had the energy to pull on my boxers and make it to my
bed. After that, I just crashed out. Emma snuggled herself close to me as I
passed out, holding her close.
