Okayyy, well to start off, this is my very first FanFiction. So it might not be as good as all the other FF out there, but I'm still learning so yah.. Well anyways, I love Hush Hush, so I decided to write one for the the book. Oh, and if there is any grammar/spelling error, please review and tell me. I'm really not a fan of them, but I might not catch then while I'm writing, so tell me. Enjoy! (:

PS. I forgot, but my friend is gonna help me write this story too.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Hush Hush. Becca Fitzpatrick did. She is brilliant, btw. (:

- Vividly'xD was here And I wrote this story with her, Soo give her some love, k? [;

Ring, ring, ring, ring.

Ugh, I reached up and snatched the phone off the table with more force than necessary.

"Hello," I mumbled into the phone, still disoriented from sleep. I glanced at my clock, the red radiant lights glowing at 6:07 am. Who could be calling at this time?

"Hey babe, are you read-" practically squealed Vee Sky, my very best friend since forever.

"Vee! Its 6:00 in the morning, school doesn't start until like another two hours." I cut her off.

Shes' been so excited for school for the last 2 weeks of summer. I don't know why, but I sure wasn't excited for another year at that school. I was a junior, and I had one more year. That was the only thing that got me up in the morning to go to school.

"Yes, but you need to get up. You need to get all dolled up for the first day of school! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, I can't wait."

"Vee," I groaned again, "Okay, okay, I'll get up in like fifteen minutes, call me then, k? Bye." I snapped the phone shut, knowing that I should feel bad for snapping at her, but she was doing it for my own good.

I let my eyes drifted closed, and what seemed like 2 minutes later, Vee called again. I finally got out of bed catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror hanging on my door. I groaned, overwhelmed by even thinking how I'm going to get my brownish, somewhat red, locks of volume over volume, hair brushed out. But first I needed a shower.

I stood in the shower until the hot water ran out, and but my robe on. I took my brush, and started to brush my hair out. After 15 brutal minutes, it was less frizzy. I went to my closet, pulling out a pair of denim shorts and a purple-ish halter that made my green eyes pop, but didn't show to much to make me look like a slut, but fit me enough to show what little curves I had. Then I just threw on a white cardigan. I didn't want to get all 'dolled' up as Vee said, but I didn't want to look bad for my first day of school either. Then I pulled out my favorite pair of beat-up, worn converses. I looked at myself in the mirror. It was a casual look, but it didn't make me look bad.

On my way downstairs, I grabbed my bag and a pink sticky note taped on the refrigerator caught my eye; it was from my mom.

Nora,

Sorry this was last minute, but I have to go on an important business trip. I'll be back in 3 days. I have left-overs in the refrigerator, and I left some money on the counter if you need it. Good luck on your first day of school.

Love, Mom

Of course it was another one of those so called "important" business trips. Mom had been working overtime since my dad left us, for some other women. I didn't think he would, but he did. I was probably about 11 or so, but I could still remember. Since then, I've always been independent. So now it was only my mom and I. I thought about how many times she'd left the house for business trips ever since I was old enough to be left at home by myself. Signing, I crumpled the note into a ball, and threw it into the recycling bin. Swoosh! I smiled to myself as it landed directly into the bin. Then I headed out the door. It was a 20-minute walk to Vee's, but I really didn't mind. I liked to appreciate the beauty in nature, I couldn't help it. It was a habit I'd grown into since I was a child. I liked the sound of my footsteps on the pavement, the fresh, summery air, the beautiful sound of chirping birds. And since the seasons where beginning to change, so where the leaves. I loved the colors of the fall, it just made it, that much better.

After a few minutes walking to Vee's, I felt a strange, peculiar feeling that I was being watched. I mean, I know I'm cautious sometimes, but I knew for a fact that I was not paranoid enough to know there was something..watching me. I felt like a dark shadow examining and observing my every move. It felt too real to be fake. I cautiously surveyed the area. Nothing seemed strange at first glance, so I told myself I was just thinking too much, and blamed it on nerves for school. I knew it was a lie, but it felt good to have an excuse for the reason why I was feeling this strange. I finally arrived at Vee's house in one peace, but the feeling of someone still watching me lingered.

I knocked on the front door, and as soon as the door opened, I was confused that I wasn't greeted by anyone, but instead a great force tugging on my legs. I looked down and saw that it was Vee's little sister, Bailee, waving her little arms upward, signaling that she wanted to be picked up. As toddlers go, I had to admit that Vee's little sister was very adorable, with her big, baby blue eyes, and two small, lopsided pigtails, no doubt that this was Vee's doing for her entertainment. I smiled, and then scooped her up in one swift motion, causing her to squeal and laugh. She was too adorable that I couldn't help but smile along with her.

Suddenly, descending with the stairs was Vee. And let me tell you, she probably woke up at 5:00 this morning to get herself ready. Her dirty blonde hair fell in ringlets near her shoulder blade. She had on a light green, square neck, tunic top. The top was paired with dark blue distress skinny jeans. Vee also rocked some open-toed stiletto heels. It looked casual, but made her look stunning.

"Wow Vee," I breathed. "You look.." I was at lost for words.

"Amazing, glamorous, hot, yes, well I know. Those were some of the words you can use describe me." Vee beamed.

"You forgot cocky." I teased.

"Welllll," she stretched out the L's "Someones seems a little jealous, hmmm? Although you did better than I would have thought. I love those shorts; they show your sexy long legs."

"Oh sure, I'm so jealous, and yes, I know they do though." I said with teasingly voice.

"Who's the one being cocky now?" Said Vee.

In my arms, Bailee squirmed to get down from my arms. I let her down, where she ran and grabbed onto Vee's legs.

"Bailee, you want to be just like your big sissy don't you?" Swooned Vee, picking her up, and swinging her around in the air.

Then there was a muffling sound in the kitchen, and Mrs. Sky walked in.

"Oh, hello Nora," said Vee's mom with a warming smile. "How are you?"

"I'm fine, thank you." I replied.

"Okaaaay, then, we should get going." said Vee. She put her sister down, and gave her mom a kiss on the cheek.

As we walked to Vee's car, I couldn't help but shake the feeling that someone was watching me. It felt less intense now that I was around Vee. I shivered once before climbing the car, and shutting the door.
