You know those moments when you see your life flashing before your eyes and you dont know how to react to it? Or those moments when you see him , and your pulse quickens and your heart pounds faster? Or when you experience your first kiss , and all you feel is bliss?
Well that's how I reacted when I saw 'him'. Confusion , quick pulse , heart beat and bliss. To say it in words wasn't even an option.
It was simple really... he was beautiful and i used that as a reason to like him and honestly that was conceited.
"I think we have a problem she's been staring for like half an hour." I snapped back to reality , and stared at the group. Everyone made a crazy smile. Gabriella took my head in her hands and turned it towards him again. "Oh come on...you two were having a Edward and Bella moment there." I managed to creak my head back in her direction.
"NO we weren't if we were he would be staring back." I pointed out , pushing the my plate away. Grabriella snorted.
"Are you daft? I mean the whole time he was staring at you , you know some times i think you're stupid." I gave Gabreilla my annoyed slanty eyes look then turned to Vanessa.
"Answer truthfully , was he looking at me?" I fidgeted with my Bali necklace and waited for her answer. She did a small sigh.
"Yeah i guess , i mean it was so obvious , you need to pay more attention." I was paying attention... just at his bodily features and not eyes. I sighed.
"Who is he anyway? I haven't seen him at our school before." I had the urge to turn back and look at him again but i kept my eyes forward and stared at Melissa.
"Apparently his name is William came from Germany or one of those exotic countries , what was it Tabby?" Melissa turned to her twin who shrugged.
"I'm pretty sure it was Austria ." Tabby answered uninterested. Gabriella bristled next to me before talking.
"OHHHH Exotic , this is definitely new to our school i mean how often is it we get an international kid and his two brothers!" We all stared at Gabriella , sometimes she can be a little theatrical.
"Never." WE all answered , Grabriella sighed. I mean honestly we were in the middle of now where country and bushes covered us to the left and the same to the two hundred kilometres from the next biggest city and honestly even that city sucked. Yeah our little town of Cambridge was a nowhere type of place.
"OH come on lunch is almost over and i need to get ready for fifth period." We all stood in unison and got ready to leave , my eyes strained to see William again , this time instead of-apparently- looking at me he was talking in a hushed whisper to his brothers. I couldn't stop staring it felt like an obsession, and just when the moment of truth came he turned upwards and we caught eyes i sucked in a breath and felt my pulse quicken , his eyes were so mesmerising.
"Hey!" I turned to see Gabriella waving me over. I grabbed my oversized khaki jacket and ran towards her. She wiggled her eyebrows. "You two were making eyes again weren't you." She grabbed my arm."Oh come on Aubrey we know you two are hot for each other."
"We barely even know each other how can we be hot for each other?' She shrugged. I ran my fingers through my hair and watched for her answer.
"I mean come on you two were completely and totally having a Ed and Bel moment all we need now is a Jacob and the story is set in motion."
"Number one: Vampires and werewolves don't exist Number two: You've been watching way too much twilight saga dvds. Number three: You have two find a new obsession vampires and twilight is soooo 2008 ago." She smiled.
"Oh come on! Everyone loves a good vampire story." I think i was getting worried about her. This obsession with vampires it wasn't normal but then again she never was. And anyway i haven't even seen the second movie of twilight , half the time she spoke of the volteru? , holteri?Golteru? I didn't even know the name of the cult? No clan...? What ever it was.
The rest of the day went on in a confused state, the last two classes had something to do with maths? English? Science? Something that required my attention but i gave it none.
How greatful i was when i got into the bus. Gabreilla , smiled and showed me a text."You me and all the girl are going to watch Eclipse at my house on the weekend , mum just bought me the dvd." I tried smiling as best i could but it ended up turning into a horrified grimace.
"Ahh hey Aubrey." I turned to Tod , he was so ..quiet i had to lean in to hear him."Uh hi was wondering if..you ..know ..you wanted to chill on the weekend..or something." I layed my feet on the seat and leaned one the window. And bit my lip.
"Uhhhh , a date? Like two people , dinner , movie.. that sort of thing?" He nodded , i played with my hair again , and kept biting my lips even when i was talking i bit my lip. "Ah i'm not into that sort of thing...you know..um and i actually have something on that day.. movie night with the girls." He frowned.
"Can't you move it?" That's when Gabriella broke in.
"Ahhh No we can't it's set , i'm already planning what were going to do , so either you move the date or don't ask again." I sent Gabriella a scowl.
"She doesn't mean it's just that umm i'm just really busy on that weekend." I saw a flash of disappoint in his eyes."But...i think i'm free next weekend ..maybe we could meet up then?" I heard Gabriella suck in a breath and i turned to look at her.
"We have a study date then, remember we have a history test coming up." I cursed , and looked back at Tod.
"Ummm what about.. ahhh." Tod shook his head. Cutting me off.
"Don't worry about it..." I felt disappointment radiating off his skin.
"Hey what about tonight? I'm sure my parents might let me bail, who knows." He sighed.
"Can't i have plans tonight." This time it was my turn to tapped me on the shoulder.
"Guess who i see?" She wiggled her eyebrows toward the bus entrance , and standing there like an Adonas stood William. Rationally i told myself to stop looking but emotionally i didn't. He was just so...graceful. I couldn't finish the words to even describe it was like watching water move or birds glide. Okay i really needed to stop saying this like i'm a poet.
"Soooooo." Tod dragged the word out and got my attention back."I was thinking... why not have it tomorrow night? ..I mean your free and i'm free we could go do something then?" I checked my mental calender.
"Yeah sure i'm not doing anything tomorrow." His eyes sparked up.
"It's a date?" I nodded my head feeling a slight grimace when he said. "date" i mean we've been friends for a really long time i wouldn't think of it as a date more like Friends getting to know eachother on a completely unemotional day out with a friend. I swallowed looking at Tod who was now smiling at his phone .
"OH my god Dude!" I turned to Gabriella , i felt the bus shake when it started gurgling to a start.
"What?" She rolled her eyes and pushed my legs off the chair and sat with "hpmh"
"You can't date him! I mean William could be your Edward and Tod could be you Jacob... i mean don't break Tod's heart." I went slanty eyed and looked at her with a tilted head. Was she being serious?
"Look i don't know about you but i'm in this little place called reality , people like William don't date people like me..." This time she was confused. Okay method number two." Let's talk about twilight wise. William is Edward , Tod is Jacob , i'm Jennifer , and let's say Vanessa is Bella , In Twilight Edward and Jennifer never get together..right?" Gabriella rolled her eyes then nodded. "So you see what i'm getting at? i have a much better choice with Tod than i do with William." She sighed.
"OH come you and me both know that you could click your fingers and any guy would be bending at the knees for you."What. an . overstatement. I looked out the window.
"You missed your stop." She jumped up.
"SHIT SHIT SHIT! Why didn't you tell me?" She ran towards the front of the bus and flipped me off.
"I LOVE YOU TOO." I lifted my feet back onto the seat and leaned back with a sigh. Well this was going to be an interesting week wasn't it?
The next night Tod picked me up for our date , i had to say i had alot of fun , i thought he would do something lame and boring like take me to a really expensive restaurant , but instead he did something that i considered amazing , he ended up ordering macdonalds and we went to the skate park were a skating competition was held ... at 10:30 at night , i had to admit it was odd. But the whole idea of it was pretty much amazing. I ended up getting home at about 1:00am in the morning my feet ached and my fingers were greasy , we had said our goodbyes and Tod tried sneaking in a kiss but i ended up pushing the door in his face and laughing. The morning after however was a whole lot of confusion.
"Sooooooooo." WE were in the middle of science and Gabriella leaned over and nudged me a couple of times. I rolled my eyes and focused on the drop i had to get perfect.
"Sooooooooooo what?' She sighed and put her head down on the table.
"How did it go? Was it a total Edward and Bella moment or are we looking at a Jacob and Bella moment." I squeezed the tube and a little drop went into the beaker.
"What exactly is a "Jacob and Bella" moment?" Gabriella rolled her eyes and handed me the stirring rod.
"Well you know...you feel a connection but you don't know how to describe it and it's only a year later you realise you're in love with him!" She looked so enthusiastic and honestly i wasn't , so i went on a date and felt a twinge of something... But not to the extent that i would yell I LOVE YOU!
"Uhhh i don't think i had any of that." She sighed , then sparked up.
"He could be a Mike! This is so perfect all we need now is a proper Jacob i mean of course knowing you , you probably have one stashed somewhere." I shook my head at her.
"Gabby i don't treat Boys like dolls okay , i don't store them and play with them until i get bored." She shrugged.
"Ohh well maybe you aren't my Bella." I shook my head at her. It was now obvious she was way too obsessed.
Ughh whoever voted for Gabriella's party to be called " The day of vampires "was an idiot. I got there at about 4 in the afternoon and almost fainted. She had practically invited the whole class..i thought she said just the girls? ...i didn't know this many people where into this movie! I spotted her in the far corner wearing nothing but black and red clothes. I waved at her and she skipped towards me. "See i told you that loads of people were into this franchise , and you won't believe this I asked William and his brothers if they wanted to come and guess what!" I waited for her to continue but when i saw that she was waiting for to guess i just said.
"What?" She groaned.
"They said they could possibly come how exciting is that!" I shook my head.
"I pretty sure he said "possibly" not definitely." She took another drink and pushed it in my face , i ended up putting it in someone elses hand.
"Possibly , definitely , yes , no! IT all means the same to me." WE walked around the party a couple of times talking to whoever and laughing about whatever. When we got pulled out of a crowd of excited teenagers Gabriella gasped. "Oh my god there they are." I turned toward the door and saw The three brothers looking..well looking hot. "Let's say hi!" I protested the whole time but when i got right in front them i was shut up. Never in my life had i ever seen a combination of deadly and sexy put into one. "Oh my gosh i can't you believe you guys made it please come in." I looked at Gabriella her eyes were like saucers. She turned to me and smiled. When they were far enough she said "Can you believe it? i didn't even think they would come but they're here!" she jumped up and down and dragged me towards the front of the party. "AHH THANKS GUYS FOR COMING , ITS TIME FOR THE MOVIES!"
I had to say the movies weren't that bad a little drama here or there , fighting. She insisted that everyone watch the whole three movies to my horror we actually did. The whole time i was trying to make sense off it ...so to my understanding this is how the story went down. The glittery vampire and the tanned werewolf both wanted the pale human? But the pale human ended up going with the glittery vampire? Instead of the tanned werewolf? Thanks to Gabriella's weird fantasy with vampires and Edward and blahh blahh blahh , i ended up sitting next to William and Tod. On one side i had the extremely attractive guy who lookedlike he was going to murder himself if he saw another minute..i could relate. And on the other side was a guy friend who also had the same expression.
We were half through the second movie when i sighed loudly and Gabriella sent me a look, and i shrugged.
So Edward left her grow a pair and move on! Bella ,like some brooding druggie stayed in her room for like six months and moaned about him leaving , hell if that was me i would be dancing drinking going insane , but then again i never experienced a loss like that. My eyes closed halfway i was s o tired .When it was over i sighed could i get up and stretch? No , instead now my head was leaning on William's shoulder , the movie was boring and i... i.i...I WAS LEANING ON WILLIAMS SHOULDER! I pulled off quickly."So sorry." I mumbled. I didn't meet his face but i pretty sure he was smiling. Oh god how long was i like that for! Now everyone probably thinks were dating because it was a romantic scene and i was leaning on his shoulder. I stared at Gabriella who wiggled her eyebrows. OH god now Gabriella has ideas! This is a movie not a date! Not even a chance encounter! I got a deep breath in and managed a shaky one out.
Half way through the third and final one i was actually getting interested , not obsessed just interested. So he proposed to her but she was on the rocks about it..hell i would be on the rocks about it too.
Right at the end she found out she loved the werewolf , they kissed vampire boy was all" His thoughts are pretty loud." Blah blah yeah yeah something something ."She's here." Red head comes about bat shit crazy vampire."I'll kill you Bella." Blah blah fight fight fight turns out the goods guys win.. yeah didn't see that coming. She agrees to marry him Werewolf boy was all NOOOOOOO then he got hurt.
When the movie ended i was the first person to shoot up and stretch from the seat i was glad to get out of that area William and Tod were both moving and slowly shifting in towards me , i blushed thinking exactly how close we all were. Gabriella got up and thanked everyone for coming while i just leaned on the kitchen counter eating snacks , while waving at people. The last person to leave was Tod who gave me a small kiss on my cheek. AS soon as the door closed Gabriella grabbed my arm and rushed me upstairs."OHH MY GOD! I totally saw it you put your head on his shoulder right when Edward and Bella kissed! I can't believe it you two are meant to be together and another question what are you going to do about Tod. I mean you can't like William and Tod at the same time." I sighed.
"Gabby i don't like William! I like ...Tod." she raised an eyebrow , then threw my bag in my face. I grabbed my pyjamas out of my Ghanda bag.
"Oh come on you look like a rat in a pack of cat's next to him , just say it. Dating him is awkwarding you out just say it." I shook my head and pulled my tiger boxers on while she combed through her hair.
"No i don't , and i didn't mean to put my head on his shoulder , i mean the movie at one point was just boring and my head was just so heavy so i let my eyes close just a tad and bam next thing i knew my head was on his shoulder." I then pulled my over sized Dora the Explorer shirt and sat on her bed. Waiting for her.
"I know i saw it all and may i remind you Edward the love of Bella's life just left her someone people are like an emotion wreck." She jumped on the bed and switched her laptop on a flipped on facebook."Ugh Taylor and Trey are together again."
"Isn't this like the fourth time they've done this?" Gabriella nodded her head , and started rapidly typing. I peered over at her."Who are you looking up?"
"Well since you and William are dating-"
"Not dating!" She rolled her eyes.
"Since you and Willam ARE dating i thought i should do a background check." She showed me his facebook , i instantly grabbed the laptop and skimmed through his whole page. 378 friends.. 1056 pictures which i looked through .all of them. I looked through all his posts turned out he was really funny, and not very safe about his facebook account it gave perfect opportunity for crazy girls like me to do exactly what i'm doing. Stalking him. "Oh my god he is sooo perfect ,look at this wall post. R.I.P Uncle Maxim you will be loved forever." And just like that we both went."AWHHHHHH."
"OH wow look at this , an ex girlfriend posting hate post." Hey have fun with your new skank"." Gabriella and i giggled at the same time.
"He's so friggin rich look at his house." Gabriella pointed to what looked more like a castle than a house , and there he stood Ray Ban sunglasses over his eyes , sitting in and outdoor chair outside his house. And like every other guy..flipping the camera off. I shook my head in disappoint. How unimpressive.
"Wow , his house is huge." We both sighed.
"He is just so amazing , don't you think?" I looked at her sceptically.
"You barely even know the guy and your already calling him "amazing" next thing you're gonna call him is "my soul mate" or worse "my Edward Cullen." " Her eyes twinkled.
"You think? I mean i can only see you and him together but if you he and i are good maybe we can..." Her mind was probably swirling with idea no doubt. She quickly clicked on the "add as friend" button."Plan in motion." She whispered under her breath. I gave her a confused glance she shook her head."Don't worry about it you'll get your Mike and i'll get my Edward Cullen." I sighed a flipped of the main light so the only light in motion was the lamp.
"Hey you have a book to read?" She pointed to her desk where four books stood out. I walked over and grimaced.
"Twilight , New moon , Eclipse and Breaking Dawn?" she shrugged. "Is there any book you don't own which isn't part of this series?"
"Yeah it's like part of the series but not it's called The short life of Bree Tanner." I shook my head in disbelief.
"Don't you have proper books like How to kill a mockingbird or The Scandal of the Season?" She looked up.
"Did Stephanie Meyer write them?" I Shook my head. She shrugged."Then no i don't."
"Alright which one is worth reading?" She sighed.
"I think breaking dawn i really liked that one and you've already watched them movie so you have a faint idea on all the characters." I nodded and picked up the book and headed to back to her bed. I opened the first page , then started reading...
I had to give it up for Stephanie Meyer , the books were pretty much amazing , i suppose much better than the movies , i had to keep reading , it was like a drug. After a while Gabriella put her laptop down and started watching all three movies...again. I kept reading , i got startled when i found out she was preggers , i mean they had sex five times how do you get pregnant so fast... apparently really fast. By the time i finished the book it was three in the morning and Gabriella was fast asleep. And i needed a drink bad. I pulled her sleeping robe on..which was silk and designed to be a kimono type and only reach my thighs-who the hell was she wearing this for?- and her extra big ugg boots.
The one bad thing about living in Cambridge.. you never knew when or how cold it was going to be . Yeah thanks alot global warming messing with the freaking weather! The one thing i did appreciate about the town was The forest , it really was a beautiful forest just a friggin freaky one at that. And one thing that i liked about Gabriella's house...it faced the forest , and like any other house in this town it had wide span windows which weren't covered by curtains , and they didn't have a backyard. Just a normal Cambridge tradition.
I put my cup down and started lunging for upstairs but was stopped by two flashlights...right in the middle of the woods. Thank you my detective side. I grabbed the torch just three benches away and headed towards the sliding doors. I almost stopped myself , but i kept going.
Honestly who the hell treks at three in the morning? And in Cambridge forest no doubt! Damn! Freaking thirteen years old thinking they're so bloody cool! I could imagine them now. "Yeah totally you should do it i dare ya!' Stupid kids freaking kids! Got me up pulling them out the forest looking for them jerk offs , they better be sorry when i see their cowering hides.
But when i got there i didn't see two thirteen years olds i saw William and someone other guy. IN a fight apparently... i ducked automatically. And watched from my darkened area.
"We served your family way too long it's time to pay up." The blonde said pacing the forest furiously. William had his hands in his pocket completely composed.
"Wasn't it in the eternity agreement? You're bound to this family for the rest of your undying life , we owe you nothing Trey." So the stranger was Trey?
"To hell with that William! You know as much as i do that my family's past doesn't needed to affect the future." William scoffed , his eyes rolling and his voice came out like pure velvet.
" You know as well as i do that's a lie. Your brother killed my uncle." Trey winced."And he payed..with his life." Now i winced ,who the hell were these guys?"
"You know very well that he did it for a good reason..." Trey muttered. William looked in a different direction.
"Infidelity , isn't a good reason to kill." William spoke humourously. Trey punched a tree and i heard a loud snap as the tree broke and fell , i almost gasped.
"So you're telling me that if you loved someone with all your heart and they cheated on you, you wouldn't care." William shrugged , and this time Trey did something un human like. He attacked William , a snarl erupted through the air , and the two men fought. I stayed crouched in my area their fight was...enthralling exciting , blood rushing but also frightening .Trey grabbed William by the neck and flung him roughly into a tree , the tree creaked slowly and it felt like the perfect time for someone to yell 'TIMBER!'
William slowly shook off , and snarled , his eyes started glowing red. And he charged towards Trey they fought their bodies twisted and i kept hearing snaps , bones , lot's of bones. And finally William was behind Trey holding his hands back and his eyes glowing red.
"I think you've learned you lesson , but just to make sure you have.." Trey ear piercing scream ran through the forest , William eyes were still glowing an unnatural red , and his lips were pressed against Trey's neck. I stood up and stepped back into the shrub , bad mistake. William's head snapped up and Trey's body went limp, and fell into the ground. I held my breath.
"What are you doing out here?" He stepped closer to me and i stepped further. "How much did you see?" I opened my mouth but words refused to come out. "Answer me."
"I saw...it...all" The words were like cellophane trying to make its way down my throat. He let out a snarl , and i stammered back."I wont say anything about tonight." He met my eyes again , this time they weren't glowing or red.
"You better not...here go home and drink this." He threw a small bottle in my direction , and i didn't even wait for him to say anything else , i started running through the forest back safety , back to Gabriella's house , when i got to the glass slide door i hurried in side.
I watched the vial closely, what was it? It sat daunting me in my own room, i didn't drink it when i got back at Gabriella's house , i didn't drink it when i got back to my own house. Did he really expect me to just gulge down whatever the hell was in the damn bottle? I hadn't told anyone about the bottle or what i saw that night. I couldn't get it out of my mind what happened that night , was not human they broke trees with their bare hands. And what about Trey was he alright? What about William? Was he injured? ...Why should i even care?... I had to know the truth. It was practically haunting me.
Monday morning came and i decided today was the day i would find out. I refused to drink the vial who the hell knew what it was? I packed the vial into my bag and headed off to school , i kept looking at my bag thinking that the vial would transform into some unknown creature and start attacking me. I let out an easy breath when i got to school and nothing had happened. But now was the big moment.
I waited in the car to see his Mercedes drive and stop a few places in front of me. I let out a shaky breath ...i deserved to learn the truth. I opened the car door and jumped out damn i forgot i wore my Aldo Sandidge's , i managed to grab the side of my dad's truck and straighten up. I also had to thank my dad for letting me borrow his truck for the rest of the week...
I"m not sure what my plan was but i was hoping to go up to him and ask to talk to him in private. SO i walked as proudly as i could without breaking down and crying once i got up to him and stood before him i took a breath and said. "I need to talk to you. Like now." Glanced behind him to see his brothers each having their own raised eyebrows."Alone." William shrugged. Smiling. SMILING! What the hell was he smiling for ? This was bloody well serious , he pulled me aside to the corner of the parking lot.
I bit my lip and took out a breath."What the hell happened?" he was still smiling this time something glazed in his eyes.
"You mean at the party? If i remember correctly you put your head on my shoulder." I repeatedly blinked the stopped and kept bitting my lips.
"You and i both know that's not what i mean , the woods , Trey. And the freaking vial? What the hell was that?" He mask had completely melted , i now saw danger in his eyes exactly like the night.
"You didn't drink the vial is what i'm guessing?" I looked at him like he was insane.
"Are you kidding? Of course not i barely know you , look i'm not asking for much i just need to know the truth, i deserve to know the truth." I finally let out my last breath , and waited for him to answer he said nothing. Finally he made a move he moved closer to me his eyes glowing dark dangerous red , i stepped back but came to no avail when i found a post behind me. HE pressed closer his breath across my cheek.
"You don't deserve and explanation." He snarled and walked off , i was shaken , i gripped my top and let out a breath still watching him.
"Hey." I turned to see Tod walking up. He gave me a small hug."What was that all about?" He was still stead fast around my waist.
"Uhh nothing. Dont worry about it come on." I moved away from him and grabbed his hands so we could go inside. I didn't miss William looking at me , and i raised my eyebrows when i saw Gabriella there. So her plan was in action already? Wow she moves..fast.
Since Gabriella was still outside , Vanessa was planning on not coming because of "So much vampires and werewolfs" syndrome and the twin well i never really saw them in the morning. I was stuck with Tod and his jock friends.
I had to find out the truth , i was either being lied to or there was some sort of conspiracy going on. Was he an alien? Experiment gone wrong? Or just plain freaky? I perked my head up and found Vanessa , she waved me over, and i quickly stood up and left the table saying a small bye to Tod. Well that was surprising i expected her to be at home on the floor screaming."I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE TWILIGHT!"
"Hey , how was the remainder of the "vampire , werewolf party?" I groaned , not even trying to hide my horror.
"Let's just say i'm not going to be invested in the uhhh supernatural business ." Well not until i find out what William was..that is.
"Hey by the way the twins are having a pool party next weekend , but you and Gabriella have a the uhhh study date thingy so they moved it up an hour so i just wanted to telly you ..oh! and they said wear your best beach outfit." I smiled.
"Okay i'll tell Gabby that she'll be excited about it all i guess." Vanessa smiled , she was always the smiling type , and then again she was always the artistic type she loved clothes anything she wore either looked expensive or was expensive , like now. Just a plain cream white knee length dress covered by a white cotton jacket reaching the same place a thin brown belt around her waist, a cute beanie and finally vintage brown ankle boots. While i on the other hand had an extra long work top , tights , and my sandidge's on...yeah i was the boring one of our friends.
Vanessa soon left and i was stuck by my locker waiting for Gabriella , was she still talking to William? I opened my locker and threw my hand bag in. I was getting frustrated. Finally , Gabriella skipped into the hallways, and stopped in front of me. "Guess what." I looked down at her shoes-usually it was the shoes.
"Ohh cute zebra stripped ankle boot wedges!" She rolled her eyes. And took my hand in hers.
"Yes but also no .Guess which hot brother just asked me out." NOOOOO NO NO NO NO NO!
"Uhhhh which one?" I tried smiling as best as i could but all i could imagine was him throwing her into a tree and she breaking her neck. I winced and shut my locker door.
"William! I can't believe first i was just talking about the movie night and the movies and stuff and then he just went."Uhhh i was wondering did you want to do anything Saturday?" AND i was like."Yes, definitely, sure." And so now William and i are going out on Saturday night!"
"Uhhh not to rain on your little parade but we have a study date on that night and not to mention Melissa's and Tabby's beach party!" She sighed and clutched my arm.
"Can we move the study date? And tell the twins that i won't be able to make it and anyway instead of a study date we could have a "help-me-get-ready-for-one-the-awesomest-date-in-the-world" date, how does that sound?" I raised and eyebrow.
"Are you asking me out on a date to help you out on another date?" She nodded her headed , and i sighed. I was completely against this whole date, but she was happy and so i wouldn't break her heart. I sighed."Alright , alright i'll bring my makeup kit." She jumped.
"Oh my gosh , he's in your science class say something good about me." I grimaced and she pushed me into the class, i did the first rational thing if i wanted answers i would pursue , so i sat next to him and he let out a long breath. We still had ten minutes before Mr Ladar came in, so i spun in my seat. And faced him.
"You know what , i considered , genetic mishap , you fell in a batch of radiation , test experiment gone wrong , you somehow played with nature and got side effects , you were born like that or superhuman genome type thing , or that you took tablets." I stopped and waited for him to talk but he didn't he just stayed silent."So which one is it?" he turned to me quickly his eyes glowing red , at first this would have sacred me but now it was nothing more but just annoying.
"I thought i told you to forget that night." He snarled in a hushed tone , i don't know why , because no one was listen.
"And i told you i deserve answers, i don't know what is about you but i don't want you near my friend if your're going to be a freaking murder." His jaw snapped.
"I didn't kill anyone." I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah tell that to Trey." He turned back to the front and mumbled something along the lines of 'forget it.' I sighed then looked at the front , but i turned back quickly. "But promise me one thing." This time he did pay attention."Whatever you did to Trey , don't you dare do that to Gabriella and if you do , they'll be hell to pay." I turned back to the front of the class and just waited for the class to end. The whole class i couldn't stop looking at William , he was just...interesting like an experiment waiting to be tested. Half way through class he stared back and i raised an eyebrow. Does he want to talk? But instead he returned to his composure. Jerk off...
At the end of class i turned in my seat but he had already shot out. Well someone has a secret aye? By the time i got out the door Gabriella rushed over."OH MI GOSH! I just saw him what he did say? What did you say? What did you both say?" I opened my mouth and thought of something.
"Uhhh the project was big today so we didn't get much in..." She looked disappointed."BUT! I did say that you loved to go for long walks." She gleamed. Hey a little white was necessary.
"Thanks babe , hey, i haven't asked in a while...what about you and Tod?" I grimaced.
"Well it's fine i mean no fights i like him , and all but i don't think i like him like he likes me, i think he likes me a little too much you know?" Gabriella nodded her head , i don't think she got what i mean. She was way too high in William and Gabriella world.
I sighed and mumbled something about lunch.
Lunch was pretty uneventful the twins moaned about how Gabriella wouldn't be able to make it too the party then switched going all excited about how Gabriella had a date with William then switched again continuously complaining. I sighed.
"Why don't we talk about something shall we?" Each girl gave me twisted look which said' Are you serious our friend is going out with a hot guy and your're stopping our conversation?' "We've been talking about the same subjects for the past half hour , okay so we established she not coming to the party and she's going out with William the wall is climbed let's get to the other side...please?" everyone sighed then rolled their eyes. But Vanessa cut in.
"I saw this really cute dress in 'Chic Style' Yesterday and it absolutely to die for i swear i could have made love it right then and there." Vanessa looked at us each and stopped at Tabby who sparked up.
"OOHHHH sounds totally orgasmic, tell me more tell me more!" Tabby murmured. Vanessa wiggled her eyebrows.
"Wellllll it's like floral , short , colourful BUT! Not too colourful i wouldn't want too like a walking rainbow , it has more like faded colours on it so if i wear it with more monotone colours i'm sure it would work for summer .OH my god you guys have too see it!" Well this was much better than some freaky as teenager.
"Ugh Chic Style who shops there anymore?" Melissa cut in and Vanessa grumbled.
"Well i do it has the best clothes..in this town and anyway i lost my laptop charger and i can't order anything online." We all sucked in a breath and went 'ohhhhhh' At the same the thing is our town was so crap that we had to order clothes from the internet , thank god for clearances. About ever piece of clothing in our wardrobe was either on designer clearance or was just something we liked and bought , i think i owned one top from this town. "Yeah i know i'm totally depressed i've never had to 'town shop' in my life , and surprisingly they had a really cute dress , i mean it was totally Fashionable with a few changes here or there."
"This oversized top.."I Said."Was my dad's he grew out of it and so i barged in like the soldier i was and just took it." Everyone touched the top.
"I wouldn't have guessed it such a pretty top and works so well with your figure." I took in all their praises.
And for about the rest of lunch we continued on the subject of clothing i was able to get William off their minds...just not mine. What the hell was he?
Beach party night.
Unfortunately i had the honour and horror of helping Gabriella prepare for her date, the night was hot and sticky she wore a really tight dress , and i my bikini bottom on and woollen crop top and a pair of straw sandals. I had brought my makeup kit over and now i was carefully but maliciously adding eye shadow over her green eyes.
"Don't put too much." She complained i rolled my eyes, I wouldn't let her see her face until i was through.
"Just stop moving and let me work my magic okay?" She nodded ."What did i say about not moving your head?" I moved onto her lips , i got out my most expensive gloss."This date better be worth my gloss." I groaned as i wiped it on. Now the blush , i added little seeing how see would be blushing form him ..all through the date. I rolled my eyes at my own stupid statement."Okay now..look." I swung the chair in the direction of the mirror and i heard her gasp.
"Oh my god! I look amazing! You are a makeup genius i swear to it!" I hugged and pushed her out of the door. I watched from upstairs as he waited patiently leaning casually on the car, Gabriella was still not outside yet.. But i kept watching him , and then like clockwork his head slowly turned upwards and met mine , his were dark playful sinister. I mouthed down to him. 'I will find out." Then fell back into the room and started packing up my bags i had a party to get to in ten minutes. I heard the door shut and Gabriella talking nervously..a car starting..distant driving off sound and then i broke in a sprint downstairs and jumped in the truck for some unknown reason
Actually the party was so exciting, Tod wasn't there THANK GOD! All my friends were there having fun just chilling casually by the beach , music thrumming loudly water splashing everywhere , couples hooking up , couples breaking up , drinking smoking and a giant bonfire .Just your average teenage party . I on the other hand lay in my wet bikini on a beach chair soaking up what i liked to call the natural moonlight , letting those soft blue rays piercing my peach like skin. I sighed contently. "SO i guess you like the moon?" I opened my eyes , hoping to meet some girl who sounded like a man but instead i got some hot buff as dude peering down at me.
"AHHH yeah i guess i do." I turned back into the moonlight.
"I'm Emery but everyone calls me E-dog." I shook my head..ah my hatred for nicknames.
"That's ridiculous, i'm calling you Emery not 'E-dog'." I slightly grimaced when i saw him sit down , on the beach chair just next to me. I wasn't up for a conversation i just wanted time to think be alone that's why i sat so far away from everyone and anyone.
"You must be Aubrey." I nodded in his direction."Yeah uhh your friends told me to keep you company." I turned in my beach chair to look at the girls , who turned away and started giggling.
"I'm so sorry for that , they're idiots ...they think i'm neglecting my feelings for my boyfriend so they're trying hook me up with..." The word..."William" Almost made my lips but i shook it off. But apparently Emery was not.
" With..." He dragged the word out. I shook my head.
"It's ahh not important...SO where you from? ...I mean i haven't seen you around these parts before?" Surprisingly i was taking interest in him , he seemed okay...for now ,he did interrupt me on my Moon baking.
"Actually i come from out of state , i actually came here for a..." He seemed to pause , i waited for his answer."A family gathering." I nodded my head.
"Oh cool so your're not staying in our little beautiful town of Cambridge huh?" He shook his head.
"Nahhh i'll be gone soon , but i've had fun here , it's..." He turned to look at the twins and Vanessa."It's been interesting i have to say." I raised an eyebrow. "interesting" isn't how someone would usually describe our town i was thinking more along the lines of..Quaint...lifeless...quiet..Beautiful...family destination. But never interesting.
I talked to Emery for the rest of the night , he was funny i liked that in a guy , he was also pretty smart. We didn't talk about anything in particular but just about little random things , He was a good friend. I mean he was a bit on the wild side , he liked to bungy jump , rode motorcycles , knew how to shoot guns... Either i was totally enthralled with this guy or liked bad asses. Which was probably pretty bad cause Tod was not close to being a "Badass." And then i got really guilty , i was getting along better with a stranger than with my own boyfriend. I sighed maybe my life was really an awkward spiral.
"Hello." Emery finger clicked in front of my face , i blinked a couple of times before turning back to him.
"Yeah sorry i blanked out." He smirked and handed my phone back.
"I put my number in , so call me." I smiled at his brashness, usually guys offered their numbers no one really took charge and put it in themselves. Slowly i was reading between the lines.
"You're going?" He nodded and pointed towards the now empty beach , the bonfire was fireless embers shinned through.
"Oh crap! When was the party over?" I stood quickly and pulled my woollen crop top on and threw on my things into my bag before jumping up and facing him.
"Probably about ten minutes ago, your friends took your car they said quote."You'll thank us later." I'm not sure what that means though." I slapped my palm onto my forehead, i can't believe they were trying to hook me up with this guy! He doesn't even come from our town! "But no fear i have a ride for you." I peered over his ridiculously large shoulder to his bike. Then grimaced at my choice of outfit.
"I have no pants i kinda was hoping for my truck." He took my hand and gave me some wet board shorts. I thanked him and clung to him as he drove to Gabriella's , i couldn't help but appreciate his abs underneath his top , he was...buff. I mean really buff. Like he worked out...alot. I let my head lull on his shoulder sleeping felt really good right now but i couldn't afford , closing my eyes and possibly slipping and falling off the bike. When we turned onto Gabriellas street.
I groaned , the sight which awaited me was not one i liked.
