Elena's POV
He started up the car and we went down the street. Since he's been asking all these questions about me, let's see what I can dig up on him.
"So how long have you lived in Ipswich?" I asked.
"I grew up here." He replied. So he knows a new face when he sees one.
"Let's play 20 questions?" I asked.
"How about 10?" he countered.
"Haha sure. You can start." At least he's willing to play. I smiled to myself.
"Hmm, what's your favourite colour?" he smiled; I couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Sky blue." His eyes really remind me of the sky. I looked up into his eyes and he chuckled when I looked a little too long. I blushed and averted my eyes from his.
"My turn. What's Spenser like?" Let's start with something non-personal. "It's like any other school, I suppose. People tend to come to Spenser so they can get into a good college." He said.
I looked up and saw a beautiful building that looked like a castle and I was astounded. I wonder what it is.
"That is Spenser. The dorms are around the corner." He answered my question without me asking. "Wow it's incredible." I was probably smiling like an idiot but I always loved looking at beautiful architecture. I giggled. Sometimes people have the craziest ideas when it comes to something that they want to create. "Why are you giggling?" he asked. "Well it kind of makes me think of some magical castle in a fantasy movie." I smiled. "Yeah, you're right. Let's get our broomsticks." We both laughed at his idea.
"We're here." He said. He got out of the car and took my bags. I opened my door and placed both feet on the floor. My leg felt fine and I slowly walked to test it out. "Which room are you in?" he asked. "312" I said. "Come on lets go." He said while taking my arm. I finally realised why he asked. "Oh Tyler it's ok, you don't have to take me to my dorm. I'm sure I can find it. You've already helped me so much" I smiled. I saw that he was a little disappointed but he covered it up very quickly. "Elena, it's no problem besides your foot is injured and I don't want you to fall again." I smiled. He really is a good guy. "Ok thanks." I said.
We climbed the stairs up to the entrance and I opened the door. I held onto his free arm so I wouldn't fall. "Your room is on the second floor." We continued walking and we finally got to the second floor. I struggled internally with myself, wondering if I should ask him the one question that had been on my mind. We stopped at a door that had a small 312 on it. "Here's your room." he said. I saw there was a light on inside, probably my roommate. He placed my bags on the floor.
I turned around and he was smiling. "Tyler, I need to ask you something." The look on his face told me he had been expecting me to ask him. "What happened on the cliff?" I asked. I really wanted to know what was going on. "Elena…I can't tell you what you want to hear. My life is a little complicated right now." I was happy that he didn't deny it but since he didn't give me any details, it just made me more curious about him. I decided to drop it. "Ok, I understand." I said. He looked surprised. He probably thought I was going to pump him for info.
"You delivered me safe and sound to my door." I smiled. "Yeah I'm here to help all the lost girls find their way," He smiled while I giggled "By the way, you're in your final year right?" he asked. "Yeah I am" I asked, confused. "Then I'll probably see you in some of my classes." He said. "Yeah." I smiled at the thought.
"Goodnight Tyler and thank you for everything tonight, I'm really grateful." I said. "Sure, you're welcome." He gave me a bow and he grinned at me, and I curtsied. We started laughing again. He caught me by surprise when he grabbed my arm and pulled me into a hug. "It was nice to meet you Elena." He whispered in my ear. He released me and started walking down the corridor. I watched him walk away; he turned back once and smiled. I think the shock subsided because I smiled back and then he continued walking. "Nice to meet you too, Tyler." I whispered.
I turned and knocked on the door of 312 since I didn't have a key. I heard someone shout from within but I couldn't quite make out what they said. I heard some shuffling by the door as it was being opened. A short girl with blonde hair and green eyes stood there in her shorts and tank top. Her top had some funny saying on it, "You don't want to mess with me." I know I will like this girl.
"Are you Elena?" she asked excitedly. "Yeah I am. How did you know" I replied. "Awesome, great to meet you! The principal told me that you were coming. I'm so happy I finally have a roommate." She said clapping her hands and jumping up and down. She pulled me into a hug and gave me a sweet smile. "Well come on in. I'm Cassie by the way" she said. "Nice to meet you too." I laughed. This girl seemed awesome. I grabbed my two bags and walked inside. There were two beds, a small fridge and a bathroom. Between the beds was a small table that had a picture of Cassie and a young boy with her. "Oh that's my baby brother." She smiled fondly. "He's so cute." I said. "Yeah he is." She giggled and then she sat on her bed listening to her iPod. She gave me some space while I quickly sorted some things out.
I'll pack my clothes tomorrow. I put my two suitcases at the end of the bed. I opened my one suitcase and found my toothbrush and face cloth. In the other suitcase I found my long I Love Boston t-shirt that I usually wear when I go to bed. I put my pillow at the top of my bed and I threw my duvet on, completely covering my bed. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and change. As I did this I thought about tonight events. I can't believe what a close call I had today. I almost fell to my death and here I am brushing my teeth. Hmm Tyler Simms is a mystery that I hope to crack. I washed my mouth with water. I smiled in the mirror and Cassie came in.
"Why are you smiling?" she asked sitting on the counter top next to the sink. "Just thinking about some guy I met." I smiled. "Spill." She said. I could just see how our days would be filled with gossip. It made me smile. "Well, his name is Tyler Simms…" I started to say. "Tyler Simms, as in one of the Sons of Ipswich!" she exclaimed. "The Sons of Ipswich?" I asked questioningly. "I know they sound like a boy band but it's nothing like that. There are five families and their families were part of the original Ipswich colony but the fifth family was killed off during the Salem witch hunt. So four families are left. The guys from the four families are Caleb Danvers, Pogue Parry, Reid Garwin and Tyler Simms." Well seems like Tyler is getting more interesting by the minute.
"Tyler is the sweet innocent one out of the four." She confessed. "Yeah I think I got to see that side of him." I smiled fondly. "Looks like someone has a crush." I laughed and blushed at her comment since it seemed to be true. "You are so lucky. Usually the Sons are so cocky, well not all of them, just Reid mostly…" she said. "Sounds like you had a bad experience." She blushed and giggled. "Yeah well Reid kind of lured me in with his bad boy reputation. You must tell me everything that happened with Tyler tomorrow but right now I'm going to bed." She said as she walked out of the bathroom. "Oh a bad boy, you must tell me the story." I laughed. "Yeah I will." I took off my jeans and top and slipped on my large t-shirt. I threw my other clothes on top of my suitcase. I looked at my clothes and thought I'll deal with that tomorrow.
"Cassie is there ice in the fridge." I asked. "Yeah at the top." She replied, her duvet muffled her speech. I opened the fridge and grabbed a cube and found a cloth and wrapped the cube in it. I placed it on my foot and I winced. It hurt. "Are you ok?" she asked. "Yeah I just sprained my foot earlier." I appreciated the fact that she asked me. "Goodnight." I said. "Goodnight." She replied. I sat on my bed for about 15 minutes waiting for the ice to melt. When it did, I put the cloth back where I found it. I switched off the light and as a walked to my bed; I could feel that my foot felt really numb. I lay my head down on my pillow and placed my duvet over my shoulder. As I closed my eyes the last thing I thought of before sleep overtook me was Tyler Simms.
Tyler's POV
I'm walking down the corridor and I turn around to smile at her. She looks slightly shocked but she smiles back. Elena seems like such a sweet girl and I can see she's curious about me. I don't want to lie to her but I have no choice. It's going to be difficult for me to keep this secret from her.
I walk down the stairs and I opened the door to my dorm room number 204. "Dude, seriously?" Reid is lying on my bed, making out with a girl. The girl blushes giving Reid a quick goodbye and closes the door behind her. I push him off my bed. "I said I was going to be 30 minutes" I said. "Well I got bored." I knew he did it to piss me off but tonight I wasn't in the mood for his games.
"So what happened with your mystery girl?" he asked. I told him the whole story. "Well at least she isn't not one of those pushy types that want info, she sounds like my type." I glared at him "Looks like someone is a bit touchy." He laughed. "Reid, stop being a douche." I said. "Chill Tyler, I was kidding." I wasn't sure if he was but I let it go. Something close to jealousy crept into my chest. I suppose I just feel protective of her. "I'm just going to crash tonight Reid. You go on without me." I said. "Where are your keys?" I took my keys out of my back pocket and threw them to him. "See ya." He said.
I crashed onto my bed. I feel so tired. I thought about two things before I fell asleep. My Ascension is on Wednesday. It is so close and I will be 18. Once I ascend, my powers will bring lasting effects. The last thing I thought of before I drifted to sleep was Elena.
Well here's my third chapter. I will probably be able to only update once a week since I'm going back to university tomorrow and I have to focus on my finals. Thank you to everyone who is reading my story.
