It was a little after one by the time Alex reached the campus cafeteria. She was late due to the fact her history professor had taken her aside after class and asked her how her summer was. Weird I know but Mrs. Murphy had been the teacher to show her around the art building when Alex had first come to check out the university before deciding to officially transfer. Mrs. Murphy reminded Alex of her grandmother who had passed away when she was eight. She had asked Alex how she was doing and if she was still interested in being an artist. Alex who had been painting since she was three had said she was working hard to get her art degree. She had two more years till she would have the degree she wanted. Medieval History was just a class she decided to take up some time. She had chosen other classes in photography and creative writing. Before Morganville she had went to an art school and had graduated with flying colors. Her father who had been an artist and her mother who had been a photographer would have been proud. They got to talking about the future. Mrs. Murphy had surprised Alex when she said a friend of hers who owned an art gallery was interested in some of the paintings Alex had done. Alex was flattered and promised to drop off a painting or two tomorrow first thing so Mrs. Murphy could send it off to her friend.
Feeling like she was floating on air Alex walked ordered a cup of hot chocolate with whip cream. Waiting for her order she scanned around looking for a vacant table. Noticing one in the far corner she grabbed her drink and started towards it. She had just sat down when her cell vibrated. Digging through her bag she managed to find her phone while mentally making a note to organize her stuff when she got home. Sipping from her drink she read the text from Claire. Claire currently was in the library searching for a book she needed and promised to be there as soon as she could. Alex laughed to herself. She knew from experience she wouldn't she Claire till around the time Eve came to pick them up. Shaking her head she dug through her bag again for her sketch pad and pencil. Her first assignment was due next Friday. She had to draw three different pictures of her choice though. She knew she would defiantly draw a picture of everyone in the Glass House. Getting her ipod out to block out the noise around her Alex started a rough sketch of her friends. She was in the middle of listening to her favorite song and drawing Eve when someone tapped her on her shoulder. Startled she swung around and her eyes widened when she saw the girl from her history class standing infront of her. Quickly pausing her song she took out her earphones.
"Hi Alex! Sorry to disturb you but I was wondering if I could sit with you." The girl said. Alex noticed there were other tables available and must have looked suspicious since the girl added, "I recognized you from Mr. Bents history class and thought hey why don't I go over there." Alex nodded but was still suspicious. The girl smiled a blinding smile and took a seat. Alex realized then that the girl had known her name.
"Hey wait how did you know my name?" Alex demanded. The girl's violet eyes narrowed slightly but she waved her head airily saying, "I heard someone use it or something. Oh the names Tiffany incase you're wondering." She started to babble about how much she missed home and about her different classes. Alex barely listening only nodded or said, "Oh" at appropriate times. She was trying to figure this girl out. Why out of all the students here did Tiffany chose to befriend her. Not that Alex didn't like new friends its just she was a loner so to say and liked hanging out with only her closest friends. Tiffany was in the middle of talking about this cute guy who she had said clearly she justed wanted to stuck him through a straw when Alex's cell vibrated on the table. Alex greatly relieved sent an apologetic smile and answered her phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Alex its Eve I am here alittle early but I thought we could swing by the art gallery so you could head in your job application."
"Ok thats great. I will be there in a few minutes." Eve being Eve must have noticed how relieved she sounded because she says,
"Are you ok? No trouble right?" Alex couldn't help but laugh.
"No I swear I am fine. Everythings good. Did you call Claire? She abandoned me for the library. Apparently she didn't have all the books she needed." Eve chuckled.
"Yeah I called her. She has successfully found her book but Amelia called her so its just you and me."
"Oh man is that good or bad that um her boss called?" Alex said her boss because she was fully aware of Tiffany listening in on her conversation.
"I am not sure. Her boss? Wait never mind just get your butt out her so you can tell me whats up instead of using code names." Laughing Alex said,
"Ok be right there." Alex hung up and turned to Tiffany who quickly looked down at her magazine she had pulled out.
"Sorry about that. My rides here so I better get going before she comes in looking for me. It was a..nice talk." Alex smiled and tossed everything into her bag. Tiffany smiled and said,
"No problem. I had a good time. Maybe when can do it again sometime." Alex just nodded not sure exactly what to say but she just had a weird feeling about this girl. Waving goodbye Alex escaped to the car. She saw Eve's car easily enough since the car was an eye sore although Alex never would say that to Eve. Eve looked her car like it was her baby. Mean comments got you in trouble big time. Opening the car down Alex sat down and put her bag at her feet. She laid her head against the seat and sighed. She looked over to see Eve waiting patiently for her to explain all the weirdness.
"Well?" Eve said. So Alex went to tell her about the new girl and her day in general. Eve listened and added comments at times. When Alex finished Eve had a intrigued expression her on face.
"Good or bad?" Alex asked her.
"Not sure but we will tell the guys later and see what they think. All we need is another new vampire to stir up trouble." Eve muttered the last part. "You still want to go to Color Spots?"
"Yeah I heard they are still looking for someone and it would be a perfect job for me." Eve nodded and started the car.
Ok heres the second chapter its short but I didnt want to add when Alex hands in her application. This chapter was just about meeting the new vampire. Atleast 3 reviews before the next chapter is posted. Thanks! Any suggestions feel free to msg me.
