The next morning I awoke next to a muscular blonde with green eyes staring at me lovingly as he played with my jet black hair.
"Morning, my love." He whispered as he leaned in and kissed my forehead.
A knock on the door made us jump out of bed to rush our clothes on as the banging grew louder.
"Just a minute!" I yelled to the door. It was probably just Billy Boy wanting one of his silly games back.
When Trevor was hid in the closet and my hair was fixed enough to open the door, who stood in front of me chilled me to the bone.
"Oh, hi Matt, Becky! How are you guys doing?" I asked nervously.
"Raven, we're going to be late for school!" Becky said pulling me by the wrist out of my room when I dug my heels into the floor to stop us both dead in our tracks.
Becky let go in surprise, flinging me back into my closet door, making it open nice and wide, showing a hiding Trevor in his jeans and white tee shirt.
"Trevor?" Becky and Matt exclaimed at once, staring wide-eyed. Then all heads turned to me.
"What is Trevor doing in your room at seven in the morning?" Becky squeaked, staring at me in shock.
Trevor stepped out of my closet and helped me up from the floor, my head chiming in pain to the collision it just had with the closet door.
"Trev, don't tell me you slept over at Raven's last night." Matt sighed in disbelief.
"All right, I won't tell you I slept over at Raven's last night. End of discussion. Now, let's let Raven get dressed and head to school, okay?" Trevor said, pushing Matt and Becky out of my bedroom, shutting the door behind them.
The drive to school was awkwardly silent as Trevor and I sat in the back, my head lying on his strong shoulder. It was too early to go to school, it wasn't dark out yet. That's when school should start. When the night begins.
The whole rest of the day was kissing Trevor in the back of our classes together, whispers from the Soccer Snobs and Prada Bees, and even the teachers chatted about the goth Raven and soccer star Trevor dating. There were rumors skyrocketing about us, but I didn't care. I had Trevor with me, right?
After school, we all gathered at Hatsy's for a double date. The sun had just set and Trevor and I were cuddling in a booth, keeping each other warm. And when I thought everything was perfect, a certain green and blue-eyed vampire walked in and sat at a lonely both, staring at me.
"I'll be back in a second." I told Trevor, getting up from my seat, walking over to Jagger and slamming my hands on the table.
"I haven't seen you around in a long while since Alexander left me." I admitted, hoping Trevor wouldn't hear anything about the V-word.
"Well, you know how we are. We can't stay in one place too long or we go mad. We have to fly places, you know?" He said seductively and I could practically feel Trevor's glare passing through my back to Jagger.
"What is your real reason for coming here, Jagger? I want to know right now!"
"Didn't you read the letter? I know it didn't get lost in the mail. A very skilled bat brought it over." Jagger grinned, his fangs gleaming at me.
"Where's Onyx? I want to talk to her, not you." I glared at him, trying to figure out the real reason he came here.
And like she read my mind, Onyx walked in and sat down next to Jagger, entwining their fingers and kissing his cheek. Her long, straight jet black hair matched the color of the tiny onyx gems glued onto her eyelashes. I still needed to find out how she managed that without a mirror.
"Onyx, why is he here?" I said in a slightly frustrated sigh.
"Oh, Raven! I didn't see you there!" Onyx said, looking over to me and giving me a hug. "I missed you, girl! How have you been since you-know-who did you-know-what?"
"I've been fine, actually." I said, glancing over at Trevor.
Jagger looked around me and grinned at Becky, Matt, and Trevor. I heard Trevor get up and walk over.
"Oh, Raven, Alexander wants you to meet him tomorrow night at the place." Onyx called as Trevor wrapped his arm around my hip, coaxing me back to our booth. I knew exactly where she was talking about. The hill looking over the Crypt. Alexander and I used to spend a lot of time there when it was still the Sinclair Mill. I fought the tears trying to form as the memory raced through my head, making me dizzy until I stumbled backwards. Luckily, Trevor was still holding me and he sat me down into the seat of our booth, keeping me close.
"Are you okay, Raven?" Becky asked.
I was too dizzy to speak, too sick to my stomach to even nod. I felt like I was going to puke, but I didn't have the strength to run to the restroom.
Becky got up and helped me stumble to the restroom, Onyx running in after us as Jagger sat at the booth, a confused expression on his face.
Onyx held my hair as the contents of a Hatsy's dinner fell grossly out of my mouth and into the toilet. What the hell was wrong with me? This never happened to me before. Why now?
