an early class the next morning.
     
    Later that night I sat up in bed, my mind was rolling with thoughts and questions. I couldn’t stop thinking. I feared my medication would be needed if I started thinking too much. I thought of something better and grabbed a notebook to get all the nutty thoughts out of my head. I flipped to a blank page, got a pen and began to scribble down the questionable information in my head. I sat thinking hard of all the things I knew about William. The things that seemed a bit… odd.
     
    *STRANGE THINGS*
     
    Hardly ever eats around me. Apparently doesn’t sleep much either.
     
    Doesn’t like going outside for long on sunny days.
     
    Very honorable and well behaved (you know what area!)
     
    Absolutely hates the sight of blood (more than normal if you ask me.)
     
    Has not told me anything about his childhood.
     
    Changes subject when I mention meeting his parents or family.
     
    Speech is articulate, not like typical guys. (I love the English accent!)
     
    Wears sunglasses all the time even on cloudy days (maybe he is trying to be ultra cool but it is a bit weird).
     
     
     
     
     
    *KIND OF NORMAL* (or stuff I just love)
     
    Does eat a little. - He ate a Big Mac at McDonalds the other day…and he seems to like Taco Bell?
     
    Extremely good at kissing (too good)…. no complaints on that!
     
    Always there for me (I can call him at 2 a.m. and he’s awake). He always seems to be awake.
     
    Respects me. A LOT!
     
    Very in tune with his emotions (cool but not like regular guys).
     
    His touch drives me crazy.
     
    His eyes are amazing. (I’m hoping he doesn’t wear tinted contacts because I love the deep blue color they are!)
     
    Did I say his eyes were amazing? (Oops I did) Adorable hair. Cool car. Cool clothes.
     
    Just too cute! (sigh!)
     
     
     
     
     
    I sat looking over the list; I wasn’t stupid. I grew up hearing Gran’s stories about mythical creatures and even monsters. I never paid much attention to them really. She said that very often we never knew when they were around since they were masters of disguise. I always thought she was just trying to tease me. I knew she had books on all kinds of stuff like that, but honestly, I didn’t have the guts to go looking for one of them. I preferred not to think weird stuff like fairies and monsters existed. I believed in angels…of course but not the other things.
     
    I didn’t care really, Will could be a total weirdo, and I would still love him. I closed my eyes thinking of him, smiling to myself. Could he be something other than just a plain old teenage boy? Was he something special, an angel maybe? Will was an angel to me, a guardian angel. I sighed, closing the notebook. Whatever or whoever he was did not matter. I loved him regardless. I had to stop over thinking things; it wasn’t doing me any good.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 9
     
    Back to School
     
     
     
    I felt 100% better; it was mid-winter now. Will and I had been together for a few months and things were going great. I made plans to finish my sophomore year attending classes on campus, trying hard to regain a normal life. Will’s schedule was similar to mine so he was going to pick me up for class this morning. I had gotten up early, showered, dressed, and ate a quick breakfast. Will was waiting for me on the front porch. He had on his black coat and hat and of course his sunglasses.
     
    “You look stunning this morning.” He smiled as I walked out the front door. My heart leaped as he smoothed out my slightly damp hair tenderly. He studied my face. “Are you okay with all this?” He could see I was very tense about going back to school. I knew it was something I had to do though, to regain some sense of normalcy.
     
    “Yeah. I’m okay; it’s just been a long time since I’ve been on campus.” I shook my head; he
