Thanks to all the reviewers! Here's Chapter Two!
Chapter Two: Edgar's in Love
The next day, they were all back in school. It might have been the second day, but everyone was already sick of it.
"We should be hunting down that witch every morning, not waking up and coming here." Edgar said, yawning.
"I agree, but summer's over. We can't just skip school." Natalie said.
"Don't give him any ideas." Alan muttered.
"Too late!" Edgar yelled from half way down the hall. He was running towards the front doors, planning to be gone. There was no way he could let that witch live any longer than she already had.
Alan ran after him, followed by Natalie. Sam sighed and went after them all.
Edgar turned around, looking to see if anyone had followed him. Of course they had. His brother wouldn't let him get anywhere near the exit, witch or no witch. They had already had that conversation. If Edgar was going to get anywhere when he was older, he would have to pass high school and so on and so forth. Personally, he planned to keep killing vampires, and maybe even some werewolves now and then. He went to turn back so he was looking in front of him, but ended up running right into the brown haired beauty he had stared at yesterday.
The girls papers went flying up in the air, looking like a tornado had blown through the school.
"Christ Edgar! Why do you have to be such an ass?" Alan muttered, stopping his chase and just staring at the mess his brother had made.
Natalie stopped next to him.
"He ran right into Flowergirl!" She laughed.
"Makes it all the better." Alan sighed.
Sam's laughter could be heard behind them, getting louder as he came closer.
They walked up to where Edgar was.
Edgar and Dalia were scrambling to pick up the scattered papers. They were all across the hallway; people had to step over them to get through.
"Did Froggy hop the wrong way down the hall?" One of the jocks taunted.
Edgar looked up and glared at the boy, receiving a comical 'Ribbit!' in return. He sighed and went back to helping with the mess. He reached over for a paper that lay in front of him. Suddenly, his hand touched Dalia's. They looked up at each other and blushed slightly.
"Sorry about the whole paper thing." Edgar said.
Dalia grabbed one last paper and looked him in the eye.
"It's ok." She said. Her voice was high toned, like every time she spoke she was singing.
Her eyes seemed to flash a light green color, then return to their normal blue-gray. Edgar gave her a confused look. The girl just giggled and walked on as Sam, Alan, and Natalie appeared behind him.
"Smooth move bud." Sam chuckled.
Edgar's face was glued to the girl as she walked down the hall. when their hands touched, it was like a certain spark. Something he had only felt that one time he first saw Natalie and couldn't help but notice every detail of her.
"Edgar? Hello?" Edgar turned back to see Natalie waving her scarred hand in front of his face.
"Huh?" He replied to her.
"Come on, it's almost time for first class." She said.
She turned around to walk away, but spun back on her heels and added, "Loverboy."
The classes came and went, and eventually Phys. Ed came by. It was the only class they all had together so they met up in the hall on the way there.
"I heard we're playing dodgeball today." Sam said.
"Finally! A chance to nail Flowergirl in the face!" Natalie exclaimed.
"Hey!" Edgar snapped.
"Geesh. Protective much?" She teased.
"No...she just...it's...um..." Edgar trailed off.
"That's what I thought." Skyler said, walking up next to Nat. "Love syndrome."
"Sky! Hey!" Natalie greeted her best friend.
"So this is Skyler." Sam muttered to Alan and Edgar.
Her hair was a honey brown color and tied up in a high ponytail. It reached to the bottom of her neck, so if it wasn't in a ponytail it would of been somewhere around the middle of her back.
Hearing her voice, Edgar turned to face her. Her aqua eyes stared back into his for a second, then she looked down to her papers. She pulled out her schedule.
"Looks like we're all going to the same place. Gym, right?"
Natalie nodded. "Awesome! We can nail Flowergirl together.''
"If Edgar over there doesn't kill us first." Sky whispered.
"Oh. That reminds me. Guys, this is Sky. Sky, this is my boyfriend, Alan. His brother Edgar, and their best friend Sam." Natalie pointed to each one of them as she introduced them.
"Well, I knew Alan and Edgar. You talk about them enough. But, nice to meet you Sam." Sky waved at the blonde boy.
They were approaching the gym now, so they split up and headed into the locker rooms.
After getting dressed for gym, they all headed out into the main gym. The teacher, Mr. Kuff- or as Nat called him, Mr. Buff- made them all run eight laps around the gym. Once that was over, it was time for an epic game of dodgeball. Sam had been right, and Natalie could not of been happier.
Mr. Kuff separated the class into two different teams.
Alan, Natalie and Sam were on one team while Skyler, Edgar, and Dalia were on the other. Sky and Natalie grinned evilly at each other as they approached the center line and got ready to run to the wall and back.
"Rules. We need rules. Ok, if you catch a ball the person who threw it is out. No returning team members because this class is way too big. When the whistle blows, run to the wall and back. Then you can grab a ball. Good luck. Losers run laps." At the end of his sentence, Mr. Kuff blew his whistle and everyone darted to the walls.
Edgar's eyes were on Dalia the whole time. He would pay attention when one of the balls whirred past his ear or nearly hit him, but other than that, he was all in attention to Dalia.
"Watch this," Nat muttered to Alan. She grabbed one of the balls and threw it towards Edgar. He turned around in time to see it coming for him, but not enough time to dodge it. It hit him straight in the gut.
"Don't stare!" She yelled.
He glared at her then walked over to sit on the benches. Dalia laughed, so Nat picked up another ball and threw it towards her. The girl somehow caught it, sending Nat to the bench also.
Sky erupted into laughter.
The game continued on until it was just Alan and Skyler. The boundaries were off, they could go wherever to throw the ball.
"If he gets beat by a girl, I'll never let him hear the end of it." Edgar murmured.
"Of course you won't. He's your brother. It's what you do." Dalia giggled.
"Of course you won't. He's your brother. It's what you do." Natalie mocked silently.
Alan noticed a ball behind him, and made a plan. He threw the one in his hand up high, trying to distract Sky, but it failed. She jumped up, grabbing it in her hands.
"Damn it!" Alan cursed. No one heard it over the cheers for Sky.
"You got beat by a girl! A GIRL!" Sam and Edgar laughed.
"You're in love with a nature obsessed flowerchild." Alan taunted.
Before Edgar could say anything back, Natalie spoke up.
"Come on, Grumpy. Let's go eat lunch."
She gave Sky a thumbs up and went to the locker room to change in her normal clothes for lunch.
Woo! Finally done! You're welcome, Lostgurl09!
Hope you liked Sky's epic win!
