Forgetting about Eros, I ran to my first class of the day. Hoping to slide in unnoticed. But to no avail, my presence was announced.

"Rose, do I need to give you one hundred sentences? 'I will not be tardy for Mr. Herzberg's class.'" His voice was stern as he scolded me. His wide back facing me while he wrote on the white board. Only when he was finished did he turn around and give me a disapproving look.

I slowly made my way to a desk in the back row, as to not draw more attention. My eyes flutter up to Mr. Herzberg.

"No, Sir." I tried to sound as apologetic as possible. Taking my seat, before he decided to give them to me anyway.

Just then, the light above me started to flicker. No doubt, it was Eros checking up on me. He was becoming strangely productive over me this morning. I wonder why? I mean, I did unintentionally give him my soul. But you would think he would just take it an move on. Maybe I was different or special? He did say I was clairvoyant. Maybe that's why he is sticking around.

Mr. Herzberg was boring the shit out of everyone.

"a2 x b2 = c2, Mathew, come to the board."

The daily dose of torture, thanks Mr. Herzberg. His lesson was long and excruciating. Who would be so cruel to put math as a students first class? Someone evil that's who. Saved by the bell, the last sound of the room was students flipping there thick books shut. The sound of sneakers scuffing the tiled floor in the hallway. Lockers slamming, teens talking for the solid four minutes we have to get to our next class.

With Eros gone my English class was dull and boring. He's my partner, but he's gone. The lights flicker once again. It's like he knows when I'm thinking about him.

Oh, the irony.

Spanish came and went as fast as Mrs. Speedy. That one, can really talk fast and move just as fast. Finally when the bell rang for lunch, my belly growled with dissatisfaction. I guess skipping breakfast this morning wasn't such a good idea. I'm actually pretty impressed with myself though. At least my stomach didn't sound like a bomb, in a quite class room. Why does this day seem so weird? I should feel happy! I'm a sixteen year old junior, I'm suppose to be having the time of my life. But since death rejected me, life seems like a never ending story.

"Rose! You coming!?" Dena said snapping me back to reality. I love this girl.

"Yeah! Sorry, just thinking", I smiled lightly jogging to her side, "Where's Kills?"

"He's with James already at our table. They got let out earlier." She tells me, annoyance hissed in her words.

"Lucky bastards." I spat with her.

Making the pair of us giggle. Have I ever mentioned, I don't know where I would be with out her? Oh, I have. Well sorry get use to it. Because this girl is my soul sister for life.

The cafeteria was buzzing with noise like a stadium. Music playing, student clowning around, and of course eating. It was almost like a jungle today, everyone was hyped for the weekend I'm guessing. I mean we did make it through the first week of school! That's a major plus especially for me, with everything that's happened. I'm shocked I'm still going, to be honest. After grabbing our food, we headed straight to the table.

"Hey lady's." James smiled widely. I don't normally see him smile, but when he does it's magic. His magnetic pull, is the positive to my negative. There's no other way to describe it. After my accident I just feel more, more towards him. I see more, the light that surrounds him. He is pure.

"Hey James!" Dena politely said. Before turning to Killian with her lovable blue eyes. An a secretive smile across her lips. "Hey babe."

Kills just looks back at her with so much love and affection. Taking every bit of his love, caressing her hand. Dena took the seat next to him, completely ignoring my presence. They really are love struck. When my eyes drifted to James, who was obviously staring at me. His deeply gorgeous blue eyes, locked with mine. He shifted a little opening his stance, while I took the seat next to his side.

"So, are you ready for tomorrow?" He sheepishly asked. I could sense how nervous he was, because I was just as excited and nervous as him.

"Yeah. It's going to be fun to actually get to know you." I said trying not to sound like a fish out of water.

But after I said that James looked at me with confusion. Like what I just said was the dumbest thing he has ever heard.

"What do you mean? You know me. I know you." He spoke plainly. His brows still holding confusion.

"Not really, yes we know each other. What I'm saying is, we will get to know each other more. Things I wouldn't normally tell you. You know....?" I felt like I was starting to babel.

His expression softened, my guess, he understood. We have know each other for years. But James was always the Jock, who was just a boring guy to me. I wonder what changed.

"I look forward to this date then." He smirked at me. While running his finger along my upper shoulder.

A small smile crept upon my lips, the heat building with in my cheeks. I'm sure I was a blushing mess. I have never seen this side of James, and I was liking it. I was liking the attention, pure un-demonic attention.

Just then, the lights to the zoo filled cafeteria, shut off. The only light given was from a skylight above, dead center of the room. Barely emitting enough light to see. A sudden shake irrupted from our table, the sound of trays and silverware clashing with the wooden table top. Capturing the attention of surrounding students, they looked in shock. Curiosity over shadowing, the fear building with in others. When a loud scream echoed against the brick walls, another table began to rumble. The cheer squad girls all shrieked, when their table joined the commotion.

Soon every table began slamming against the ceramic tiles, under there feet. Shock, fear, confusion, curiosity all filled the cafeteria. Faculty bewildered at the sight unraveling, before them. Our table began to smash harder, cracking the tile under its feet. The four of us jumping away from the possessed table. Dena clung to Killian's side, horror consuming her small figure. While he cradled her tightly, against his equally small frame.

James leaped to the side, leaving space between him and the table, leaving me to fend for myself. Before I managed to finish my step back, the table slammed it's final crash to the ground. A deafening silence filled the air. What was that about? Why did everyone see it? Why did it stop?

Questions zoomed through my brain, as to what just happened. When the lights flickered back on, shining light upon the students cowering in fear. Tam Tam, the schools secretary, broke the silence with a command to leave the cafeteria. Students hastily pushed through the double doors, heading strait for the hall. Another teacher Miss Sukup, directing students the the gym.

Our principal Mr. Heidzeck, addressed the student filled gym.

"For those of you involved in the cafeteria incident. A mandatory councilor appointment will be made with each of you. That being said we will be dismissing school early today, to investigate whatever happened. You all have a wonderful weekend, we will see you all bright and early Monday morning. You are dismissed." He voice was strong and authoritative. You could tell he was freaked out but had to hold his composure. Everyone seemed freaked, while I was use to the unknown.

The lot slowly, began to empty. Miss Sukup snagged my arm before I managed to head to Jane.

"Rose, I know everything was cancelled, but I would still like your help Sunday."

I simply nodded my head, agreeing to still meet with her. She took her leave, while Dena and I started towards Jane. Killian hitched a ride from James, leaving us boy free. We had some time to kill, since I wasn't going to see dad, until after normal school hours.  When Dena and I hopped in Jane, her eyes looked to me for answers.

"Spill."
