Chapter Two

Claire's POV

It was the day after the whole fiasco with the Dead Girl's Dance Invite and after Eve had convinced Michael that it would be safe to go, we had to suffer a good hour of lecturing from Eve about Hair and clothes for the party.

I was so distracted by the party that I never got the chance to eat dinner and so, I woke up early this morning, starving and made my way down to get some breakfast. Of course, I was the first one up, Eve, Michael and Shane never got up before noon unless they had to, which they rarely did, so I knew I wouldn't be seeing them for a good 5 hours, so I decided to try and catch up on my missed sleep on the couch and before I knew it, I was drifting off into darkness.

I fluttered open my eyes and blinked a few times, confused at where I was. I turned my head to find Shane tracing patterns on my arm; he must have woken up when I was asleep. He flashed me that gorgeous crooked smirk I loved when he saw I was awake,

"Hey, jailbait"

"Hey", I smiled back

I stared into his warm, chocolate eyes, getting completely lost in them, that I didn't notice a pale, vampire face hovering over us with dark, racoon like eyes. I screamed and tried to jump off the sofa, but got tangled in the throw and just ended up falling off the sofa, pulling Shane and the throw down with me.

I heard a roar of laughter and realised that it was only Eve and her stupid gothic makeup. She was laughing uncontrollably, clutching her sides.

A sleepy looking Michael rounded the corner, rubbing his eyes and took in the scene around him; Eve crying with laughter and Shane and I sprawled across the wooden floor

He blinked, confused, "Uh, what on earth is going on?"

"Ask Eve", I hissed, glaring at her, as Shane helped me up.

He turned to her, taking in her current state and pulled her into his arms, kissing her hair as she got a hold of her laughter. When Eve had stopped laughing a bit, Shane left to go and get some cereal from the kitchen and I sat back down on the sofa, flicking through the channels, but then I got that feeling that someone was staring at me and slowly turned my head, expecting to find an evil vampire wanting to suck my blood, but instead I was greeted by something much more terrifying; Eve smiling at me evilly…oh god… I know that smile anywhere.

I slowly got up from the sofa and carefully backed away from Eve, towards the kitchen,

"Eve, can we just talk about this?"

Her smile got bigger and she took another step towards me. Michael's gaze flitted between us and he smirked when he recognised Eve's expression, leaning back into the sofa cushions. Eve looked at Michael and the two shared a glance.

I took this momentary distraction as my opportunity and made a dash for the kitchen, but I soon heard Eve running behind me. I squealed and ran behind Shane, using his body as a shield from Eve. He looked confused, but immediately understood when he saw Eve run into the kitchen with an evil smirk.

He tried to reason with her, "Oh come on, Eve! Can't you just leave her alone! She obviously doesn't want to!"

She pointed a finger at him, "You stay out of this, Collins". He raised his arms in surrender, backing away and leaving me completely unprotected. I eyed the door, using physics to judge the distance and how far I could go before Eve caught me. I decided to chance it, I looked at Shane and he nodded.

"Run", he mouthed, so I did. I managed to make it to the couch before I turned around to see Eve hurtling through the air and I was pushed onto my back on the couch, with Eve on top of me, holding my wrists down.

In the corner of my eye, I saw Shane leaning against the wall, watching us with an amused expression

"Help me!, I whimpered

He laughed, "Nope, you're on your own. I wouldn't mind seeing you in a slutty dress"

"Traitor", I huffed.

I squirmed under Eve, trying to break her iron grip. God, she's strong!

"Eve get off me! fine fine! You can give me a damn makeover! But no Goth makeup!" she let me go and fell back into the cushions, satisfied , as I rubbed my wrists where she'd held me hostage on the couch. I was not looking forward to this.


Some time later...

I was currently sitting in front of Eve's dressing table, just like i had for the past two hours as she covered my face with god knows what. I was a bit scared of what i looked like right now, but she had promised not to go overboard, so i guess i'd just have to trust her on this. Not an easy task, trust me.

After what seemed like an eternity, i finally felt the absence of brushes and creams from my skin and Eve said, "Finished!"

"Finally", I sighed and started for the mirror, only to have my path blocked by Eve. I sent her a questioning look.

"It's a surprise", she said, "You can see when i'm done".

"Fine!", i huffed in surrender.

Another hour passed as Eve emptied out her whole wardrobe, clothes and underwear flying everywhere, just to find a dress she thought would be 'perfect' for me.

At last, she triumphantly pulled a sparkly, red, body con dress from her wardrobe and held it up against me. I eyed the fabric warily,

"Uh, Eve?" I said, " Really? This is you, not me. Look, I'm nerdy little Claire, not slutty, sexy Claire."

She grinned, "Exactly, but you won't be nerdy when i'm done!", she pushed me towards the bathroom, "Come on, put it on"

"Alright, i'm going", and i closed the bathroom door. I looked at myself in the mirror and took a deep breath, "Well, here goes nothing".


I stood in fron of the mirror, smiling at my relection. I looked...kinda hot. I was a bit worried about the choice of dress but it was a great colour on me and it fitted me perfectly, showing off all my curves and accentuating my legs.

Eve knocked on the door, "Claire bear, you done?"

"Yeah, you can come in!" I shouted back

Eve hesitantly opened the door and smiled when she saw me. I looked at Eve, she must have gotten changed whilst i was in here and she looked amazing. She was wearing a body con, black lace dress that came to her thighs and made her curves look super sexy and for once, she'd toned down the goth makeup, leaving a silver smoky eye look and pale nude lips.

"Wow, Eve!"

She waved the compliment off, "Claire bear, you look H.O.T! Shane is gonna freak!"

I blushed and thanked her and we made our way down the stairs. Going down the stairs took a little longer than usual, thank to Eve and her ridiculous heels but when i arrived at the bottom, i found Shane staring at me greedily, eyes wide

I smirked, "You like?"

He seemed embarrassed he got caught staring, "Um, yeah! I really do..", he stuttered.

I laughed and walked forward to kiss his cheek, before turning to my other housemates,

"We ready?"

Eve pumped her fist, "Hell Yeah!, she said and ran to her car, as Michael called Shotgun and jumped in the front with Eve.

Shane and I stayed in the back and i leaned into him halfway through the journey. He leaned forward and whispered seductively in my ear, making my heart flutter,

"You know, i really like this new look. It's a shame about that dress, i don't know if i can stop from ripping it later"

I blushed furiously at his comment and he kissed my red cheeks.

Eve pulled up outside the venue and jumped out with Michael. Before i opened the door, i leaned back to whisper in Shane's ear, "Wait until you see the underwear Eve made me wear", and with that i ran out of the car, leaving him gobsmacked, his jaw at the floor.

I laughed and caught up with Eve. We both smiled as we saw the giant, loud party in front of us.

Tonight, things were gonna drama and definitely no vampires, well apart from Michael. Maybe for once, we could act like normal teenagers, just once.

I ran to the door with Eve, i was ready to have the time of my life.
