House of Night love
Chapter 1- The day he showed up
Zoey, as usual, sat with her friends at dinner, and started talking to them. She tried to take all of the problems she had on her mind, but it seemed impossible, when she knew that her best friend, Stevie Ray, had died in her arms. Her mind wasn't on anything else but her many problems, not to mention the fact that she was in a love triangle, between her current boyfriend, her human ex-boyfriend, and Loren Blake, a teacher that she sort of had a crush on.
As she talked to her friends, she had noticed that Neferet, the high priestess, was talking to a new kid, who didn't seem like he was paying all that much attention. He was looking around the dining hall, probably trying to find a good reason to escape the conversation he was having with Neferet. Neferet lead him towards their table.
"This is our Dark Daughters and sons leader, Zoey Redwing. If you need any help with anything, ask her or her friends," Neferet explained, and flashed a warm smile. Zoey, though, didn't hear any of Neferet's words. She was too busy staring at the new kid, who was glancing at Zoey and her friends from time to time. Zoey let her gaze travel down the new kid's body. He had blonde hair that was long enough to grow past his ears. The color wasn't a platenum blonde, though. It was more of a dirty blonde color. He had a strong chin, straight nose, and nice lips. He was medium tall, and on the thin side. Zoey instantly felt a physical attraction to this guy.
"And Zoey, this is James Stark, our new fledling that had just transfered from the Chicago House of Night," Neferet continued. Stark looked at Zoey with large brown eyes, and Zoey almost fell over. This guy was definitely attractive.
"Zoey, since you are a high priestess in training, I will leave you with the responsibility of Stark's dog issue," Neferet said, and, with a warm smile, left the table. Zoey knew she was staring like an idiot. She finally snapped out of it and looked at something other than below Stark's waiste.
"What dog issue?" Zoey asked.
"The only way I'm staying here is if Duchess, my dog, stays," Stark said.
"Well, I would be more then happy to help you and Duchess feel comfortable," Zoey said. Stark smiled a half smile.
"Thanks," Stark said.
"Well, uh, are you hungry?" Zoey asked.
"Yeah, I guess," Stark replied with a shrug.
"Well, why don't you get your food. If you're hungry, you can sit with us. I'll introduce you to my friends, here," Zoey explained. Stark nodded.
"I'll be back, then," Stark said, and told Duchess to stay there. He walked off to get his food, and Erin and Shaunee, Zoey's friends, immedietly wanted to talk about him.
"Check out his butt," Erin said, giving him a look.
"I wish he'd sag them jeans a little so I can get a better look," Shaunee agreed.
"Twin, sagging is seriously lame. Hotties should just say no to it," Erin argued.
"I'd still like to see his butt, twin," Shaunee said. Zoey took a look at him and smiled.
"Hey! I just realized who he is!" Jack, another one of Zoey's friends, said.
"No shit, Jack. Who?" Shaunee asked.
"He's James Stark! He's like, the best vamp archer in the world! He's a star! I remember reading about him!" Jack explained.
"Well, shit!" Erin said. They continued the conversation, but Zoey wasn't really paying attention. She could only stare at Stark. She felt some sort of attraction to him. She was drawn to him. She felt like he was making her feel something she'd never felt before, not even Erik could make her feel this way.
So, why was she getting a crush on Stark without knowing him?
