I was going to go back. I always did like vampire watching, maybe I'd like people watching. I packed a few blood substitute pouches, some coke cans, a few turkey sandwiches, and a sweater. I put on some jeans and a white tank top with some small devil horns on them, I put my hair up in a ponytail and snuck off to Uptown. I went to the same roof that we went to the night I met the alley boy. I saw humans talking to each other, bustling around their town square. People on bikes and skateboards. Kids playing ball as adults looked at them annoyingly. It all seemed so perfect, so nice, so...

"Hey!" said someone. I turned around and it was alley boy. I shot straight up and grabbed my bag, I clung onto to gutter and fell on the fire escape. "Hey, no, wait up!" the boy said as he followed me. Luckily it was an abandoned building so I could freely run around the halls trying to lose him, but sure enough as a turned a corner something grabbed me. "Who are you? Why did you run?" the boy said as he tried to make eye contact with me.

"Let me go!" I said as I kicked him hard in the kneecap.

"Ow!!" he said as he let go for a moment but then quickly just grabbed my other arm. "Ok! Okay... I'll let you go as soon as you tell me your name."

"Why?!" I said as I tried to get his hand off my arm.

"Because I want to know who sent the note to me! Was it you or was it one of the other two girls?" he said as he starred at me

"No it was me, no let me go!!" I screamed at him

"Please just tell me your name!" he said

"Willow!! My name's Willow! Now let me go!" I shouted as I stomped on his foot and ran.

"Wait Willow!!" he shouted as he ran after me "Why are you running?" I stopped, as I turned around I could tell he was hurt. As if he felt like I was running from him, which technically I was. 

"I'm not supposed to be here." I said as I dropped my backpack.

"Why?" he said as he starred at me trying to step closer.

As a stepped backward, farther away from him I managed to mumble a half truth which wouldn't tell him I was from Downtown. "Strict family."

"What? Would they beat you to death if you were here?" he joked

"No but they'd probably ground me at least." I said as sat down next to my bag, as the boy saw me sit down he sat on the floor too. We were now about 5 feet away from each other.

"So, if I kept your secret... do you think I could see you here tomorrow?" he said as he looked down at the floor

"U-Um, I-I do-on't know." I stuttered as my face turned red. "Yeah, I guess I could come back tomorrow..." as I got up and ran out.
