Gosh! How did we get from planning to kill someone, to losing my virginity? Can my life and
my
friend
get any crazier?
“Maybe it’s a good thing that you’re going out with Kevin this weekend then.” Penny wiggles her eyebrows.
“Nope. Not happening,” I quickly disagree. “It’s gotta be with someone I like…that way, you know..”
“Then who?” asks Reese.
“I don’t know…but I know it’s not Kevin.”
“Come on, Genesis. There must be someone that you like. Like really really like in our school,” says Penny.
One person quickly comes to mind, but I squish it down. “Nope, none,” Ireply.
“You know that’s not normal, right?I bet even Reese can think of one other than River.”
“Hey!” protests Reese.
“The fricking school is full of hot men!” argues Penny, lifting her hands up in defeat. “You must have at least one crush. Think of one name,” she urges.
Constantine.
“Nope, nobody,” Irepeat.
Constantine. That one name keeps going on repeat in my head. Strong, sharp angular face, dark silky sexy hair, his unusual silver–gray eyes, long thick eyelashes, firm pink lips…
But he’s a lycan. Untouchable. I knowhow impossible that is.
“Aha! There must be someone. You have that look on your face,” exclaims Penny.
“What look?“.
“That dreamy, mushy, soppy…oh, I–so–wanna–do–you look…you know, that look,”
says Penny.
“I was just thinking about my English essay I’m supposed to hand in tomorrow,” Ilie.
“You can’t bethinking about English essays when you have that look on your face,” protests Reese.
Penny stares at me with narrowed eyes. I quickly look away and says, “Nope, nobody.”
“You’d better start liking sorneone pretty quickly, you hear?” demands Penny, pointing her finger at me sternly.
I can’t seem to stop thinking about Constantine tonight as I lie down flat on my bed, staring at my boring white ceiling. I blame it on Penny.

I first met Constantine at the end of a summer break when I was 15. I never told a soul about it. Not even my two besties. I was at our Art Supply store by myself that afternoon. Dad went to the next town over to deal with something, and mom was meeting a client for a portrait commission.
The delivery guy just delivered boxes of newly shipped merchandise and left them in the hallway. Lazy man. They were too heavy for me to lift to the back storage.
I was standing behind
Je counter, scowling at the boxes when the bell chimed,indicating a customer at the door. I looked up and there he was.
Istared up at him, and he just stared at me staring at him.
He was so big and tall, radiating
His shoulders were so broad they almost fill out the door. He’s wearing black jeans that followed the contours of his well–muscled legs. A white t–shirt that stretched tightly across his well–defined chest and six–pack abs. His tanned golden skin looked as smooth as honey. A few silky locks of that thick, lustrous dark brown hair fell carelessly across his forehead and his strong arched dark brows.
ting with such power and authority and so beautiful, I had never seen a man so beautiful before, it’s almost unreal.
He had perfect symmetrical features with prominent cheekbones, a high bridged straight nose, and a sharp angular jaw that led to a strong chin. What captured me the most was his silver–gray eyes that were surrounded by amazingly thick and long eyelashes. They were so piercing and were regarding me with such intensity that I couldn’t look away from even if I wanted to.
I kept staring at him, yet I had no idea when he got so close. One moment he’s standing by the door, the next thing I knew, he’s standing so close with only inches between us. This close,I can see how unusual his silver–gray eyes were; the pupils were so black, the Irises were actually the palest blue silver with black rim surrounding them.

“Hi,” I said shyly, trying to look away as I felt my cheeks warming up.
“Hello,” he replied and smiled back. Then I was lost again, staring at his smile. His smile made him looked even more breathtaking. His pink lips looked
that only made him look even more dangerous and surprisingly full and sensual. His teeth were straight and white. His canines a little bit prominent, but attractive.

He looked amused, and his lips twitched as if he was trying hard not to laugh.
My cheeks were burning, and my heart was racing.
Oh goddess, I must be looking like a crazy girl in front of
t of this gorgeous god–like creature. What is wrong with me? I never looked at a man this way before.

I cleared my throat and said in my most professional voice. “Hi, how

He told me thathe needed some painting supplies,

He kept asking me about the merchandise so that I had to follow him around even though what I really wanted to do was to hide or lie down and die from my embarrassment.
