My sixteenth birthday is in two weeks and as its nearing its arrival I cant seem to get any rest. Luke had told me he had a special surprise for me and that I would have to sneak out at midnight to meet him. I've been running all the things he might have gotten me through my mind, a necklace, blanket, a new phone case, but none of those make sense. Why would he have to go give it to me at midnight on my birthday, whats so special about the gift that no one can no about it?

" Sweetheart!" Dad shouts. " your gonna be late for school."

I look at my alarm clock and it read seven fifty-nine. I look back in confusion as I draw my blinds to reveal the moon full and shinning in the dark sky, and blink, suddenly the suns blinding me and I'm completely baffled as to what just happened.

" Just a sec, I'll be down in a minute." I say as a rummage around for a pair of jeans and go to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I nearly fall down the stairs as i grab my perfume from my bag a spray it leaving a faint rosy aroma in the air.

" Okay dad let's go, I'm already late for first period."

" Okay." he says as he grabs the keys from the kitchen table and heads out the door. It seems like a very long drive but as we arrive Eve and Luke are just pulling in. Luckily for me that means I'm not the only one that has to deal with the teachers wrath.

" Hey Jewels, " Luke says " you look beautiful as always."

" Why are you in such a good mood?"

" I'm just excited to see you, Is that a problem?" I look at him and laugh grabbing Eve by the arm and run to first period leaving Luke behind.

" Did just here him, he said you were beautiful, Jewels."

" And?"

" And well he's the hottest guy in school and your best friend, don't you think him calling you beautiful implies he wants to be more?"

" I don't think anything, hes always saying stupid stuff like that, besides I thought he was pining for Kira." The conversation ends there as we enter the class interrupting the teacher she looks like she about to say something when Luke walks in the door carrying a box of donuts.

" Hey sorry I was late but i brought donuts for everyone." He says

" Very well, go pass them out." Luke looks up at me and winks as blush rise to my cheeks. How did he mysteriously get a box of donuts when he didn't have it when I last saw him. Despite Luke being my best friend there's something mysterious about him. One minute he's the kindest person on earth and then everything changes over night, turns out today he's decided to be kind.

I can't help but stare at Luke his eyes are so mesmerizing there so light and delicate and the color of jade. His jaw is so defined and his lips always look so kissable. I don't want to admit it but I'm falling in love with him, I wish Eve was right about what she said earlier but him and Kira are laughing in the corner and are clearly meant for each other, so at least I'm lucky enough to have him as a friend. Luke Jasper Kingsley I can't stop thinking of his name as I write it all around the rims of my paper without realizing it i start writing Jewel Amethyst Kingsley, My parents have and odd thing for gems and decided to name me after them.  I look around hoping no one was watching me as I crumple my paper and shoot it like a basketball into the trash can. Suddenly a cold breeze envelopes me and then everything goes dark and I see the bright moon. I can not count how may times this has happened to me all week I have been seeing this vision of night and each time something new appears this time there is a silhouette of a body I can tell it is a male because of his spiky hair but then everything goes back to normal.

" Jewels, What is one of Rembrandt's most famous paintings?" Mrs.Wallenstein ask as all eyes turn to me.

"Oh Um let me see." I say as i flip through my notebook. " Its says here that the night watch is one of them."

" Very good Jewels."I pick up a pencil and begin taking notes. About ten minutes later the bell rings and we all head to second period.

Mr. Holder is sorting through test as I walk in.

" Hey good job." he says as he hands me my test a big red A circled in red fills an empty space on the sheet. I smile and walk to the back of the classroom. The rest of the day goes by slowly and right as soon as the bell rings to finally dismiss us I grab Luke by the arm and run to the parking lot.

" Lets get out of her, dork." I say as he throws me his car keys,, I'm not suppose to drive yet but he lets me anyways.

" Of course, who'd wanna stay in a hell hole like this." He shoots me a small smile and we start to drive.

It only takes a few minutes to get there. As we pull up to his house I read the sign I've seen Hundreds of times.

The Kingsley Manor

I ring the buzzer a total of three times as the gate begins to open. I park by a fountain quickly unbuckling myself, and look around taking in the beautiful view. The large oak doors creak as we open them. Luke's dad doesn't know I'm here, so we tip toe past his office into the kitchen and grab some snacks.

" So you and Kira?" I ask giving him a small nod.

" Yeah, Why?"

"I was just wondering, she's always had her eyes on you." I say throwing an apple at his chest.

" Oh, yeah? Has she now?" He says as he picks up a banana and puts it up to his ear. " Hi, 911, I'd like to report a stalker in my house."

"Luke, I am not a stalker, I'm your best friend, of course I know when someone likes you." We both burst into laughter quickly covering each others mouths as we lean over the island to see if his dad heard us.

" That was a close call, Lets go upstairs."

" Okay" I say and to his bedroom we go.

I never realized this before but all the books on his shelf are about werewolves or the phases of the moon. I find it kind of cute that he's interested in supernatural stuff.

" You know werewolves are fake, right?"

" Um, yeah of course," he says scratching the back of his head, " I've had those book for forever."

" Awe, little baby Luke had an obsession with werewolves, I bet you wish you were one."

"Haha, why would you say that, is it because I'm hairy because if that's a problem I could just shave it all-" I begin to tune him out and think back to the vision I had today. The spiky hair I've seen it before I look up at Luke his hair styled in spikes the man in my visions is Luke.

"Jewels, Hello?" Luke says as he snaps his fingers in my face."what are you thinking about?"

I hadn't realized that I completely spaced out.

"Nothing, I just haven't been sleeping very well lately" I say hoping he'll drop the conversation.

"okay, Well then how about you take a nap, I'll go make lunch and bring it to you when your up." He says picking me up and lying me in his soft silky bed. As soon as he turns of the light and closes the door I wait a few minutes. I can hear him downstairs and I turn on the small lamp on his nightstand. There's something  Luke is hiding and I'm going to find out what it is.

I open a drawer in his room and pick up a small notebook. It looks like it could be a journal so I open it and begin to read.

Day 1

I can feel the change beginning to happen, each day I lose control of myself. I'm scared I'm going to hurt someone.

Day 2

My eyes are getting lighter and the full moon is almost here I can feel so much pain, My body can't handle this. I never asked to be born into this. Why did it have to skip my parents generation and not mine. I'm almost sixteen I just want to be normal.

The date at the bottom of the page is from last year he's six months older than me. I don't understand what he means by pain and change and whats the whole thing about this pain skipping a generation. The full moon, werewolves? Luke has so many books on that topic why is he acting like he's one of them. This stuff is fake Vampires and fairies don't exist so why would werewolves, and why would Luke be one?

Day 3

I got mad at Jewels, I didn't even mean to. She looked so beautiful in that pink dress. I'm afraid she'll never want to speak to me again. I told her I hated her but I don't I love her.

I remember this day, this was the day Luke changed he'd was never one to get mad at others but ever since that day he's become the bad boy. Despite how he treated me that day I still wanted to be his friend. I liked his bad side. I was the good girl and he was my bad boy. I hear footsteps coming up the stair and quickly throw the notebook back in the draw and turn off the light. Luke opens the door and leaves I can hear him whispering to himself he talking like he's in pain like he's hurt and then he suddenly lets out a scream and I hear glass shatter on the ground. What Is wrong with Luke. I quickly get out of my bed to go check but he's no where to be found. I don't understand people don't just scream out and break things for no reason. He left so fast it was as if he had some kind of super speed, like today how'd he get the box of donuts so fast he had only been a feet away from me and came in to the classroom a few seconds after me. Something just doesn't add up.
