This is a cross between the book series House of Night by P.C and Kristian Cast, and The Immortal Series by Alyson Noel. I do not own some of the information in this story, it is from both series combined, most characters are my own.
Please enjoy and review J
"Hey, have you been lately?" Sabrina asks as i walk into homeroom and sit next to her in my usal seat next to her.
"Just been busy...no big deal. Parents are kinda buggin bout my grades so i have had to study, and ,well u know what its like." i give her a big fake smile hopin despertly that it looks more real on my face then it feels. I have been avoding this day all week...her and all my other friends have been texting me and calling my house all week but i couldnt answer, couldnt face them. they wouldnt understand what I'm goin through.
"Oh, well i tried to texting and calling you a bunch of times and so did Damein, Carlo,Josh...well pretty much everyone in the sophmore class'. Brads been really worried since you just uped and vanished without telling him, and since you wouldnt awnsering anyone...he thought you transferedor something." she frowns at me for keeping him and everyone else in the dark about why i havnt been at school for the past week and a half.
"Well thats really nice but i need to talk to him...i'v been thinking-"i cant finish my sentence because she is already yelling at me for even mentionin such a thing.
"Oh Amber! You have to be kidding me,right? You cant really be thinkin' 'bout breaking it off with tell me your kiddin'." She beggs me.
" Well thats a reason i havent been here the past few days,"i say, hoping she cant tell I'm lying." I'm starting to reconsider this whole us been together. Sorry to disapoint you Sabrina but i have to, I'm sorry this is gona mess with your plans with Ryan and all but i just dont think its gonna work between us." I give her an apoligenic smile, which she doesn't starts to say something but then comes in and says;
"well isnt this a nice surprise. Amber has decided to grace us with her precence today. Welcome back Amber, i hope you are feeling better, and wouldnt mind explaining why you have missed the last week?" she asks me.
" i havent been feeling well the past week or so i thought that i would stay home and keep other people here from getting sick." i shrug. and she leaves at that( just like i knew she would) and went to writing the class plan on the board while Miles turns to me and asks if i was really sick or just a quick exuse becuase he;s been feeling pretty crapy the past day or two. I tell him that yes i was, which is a complete and uter lie, and I'm really hoping he didnt notic my fidgiting.
Well the rest of the day went pretty much the same, every class i got bombarded with questions like Amber where have you been? and Omg! i thought you were MIA! Where have you been?... and plenty more that get wierder as the day goes on. It just makes me think of how my friends really love me and dont deserve to be lied to like i am, but its for their own .
When i get home Austin and Alex ( yes i know, a whole lot of A's in this family, but it was all i could think of.) want to know where i have been and they threatin to get mom if i dont tell them. but i just ignor them and go up stairs to my room shut and lock the door and blasting my next thing i know mom is at my door yelling at me to Open this door right now youg lady this instint or i will bust it down. So i open it and let her in.
"Where the hell have you been the past week Amber! I havent heard from you since last friday and that was when you called to let me know you where gona stay at a friends house for the night, then you dont show up Saterday or Sunday..." she just keeps goin and goin...arg! Parent s jsut drown on and on about usless stuff kids already know. especilay my mother, Marsha Maslin, Married to my step father Felix Maslin.
" Mom i spent the week at Marthas house like i told you on the phone on Friday, So just settle down a little." i tell her even though its a load of crap.
" well i called her house numerous times and every time i did they said she hadnt seen you since the party on Friday. so you ither tell me the truth right now or, so help me god, I'm going to beat you."
"fine i was at Brads for the weekend and i didnt feel like coming home so i wnet over to Sabrinas. See. No big deal, right?"
"yes there is a 'big deal' about not hearing from you for a week and then you just thinking you can come home and blast your music without even telling me where you have been and what you did. you are still only 17, which means you are still a minor under my cusdidty, and that means that you have tell me these kinds of things Amber."
"but mom i just did, and then you started goin all crazy on me."
"well I'm sorry that i was worried about my only daughter being missing for so long. now you have better get to work, your rooms a mess and you probably have a WHOLE lot of home work you missed out on." and with that she left. And after i clean my room and just start to get my home work out and about to start it i hear something at my window. I walk over and open it just to be scared out of my skin by none other than James.
"WTH! James you almost gave me a heart attack, dont do that, you know my sences aren't as good as yours so just ." I say i as i help him in.
"Okay, Amber i get it. i wont sneek up on you any more as long as you promis to come and train EVERY day. You missed it today."
" well i had to got to school. Sorry but cant we make this on weekends or something. Please? and this conceders' really starting to itch. can i take it off yet?" i ask him, Well actually i whine but he still doesnt budg.
"No you have to keep it on. Its the only way you can get used to it. People cant know that we still exist even though we aren't like our ancesdors and torched them." He tells me very comley and cooliy, and i cant help but be drawnin by his beautiful voice, and just as i think he's goin to move as i get closer he grabs my arms and pulls me close to him. And just as I'm pulling away to look at the floor he kiss' me. And my whole world is changed by this kiss, even though it isnt nearly as good as the ones we had been sharing thought out the week.
