Tango shoes

Opal's P.O.V

The day had gone in a blur I had decided I had been wrong about Mason maybe it would be okay for me to have a friend just because IT had my last one killed off didn't mean he would do it again, besides I knew who he had used as a killer and the games that were played with Kerry before she was killed. I think I will I can't believe I'm even thinking this become friends with Mason.

He wasn't as annoying as I thought and it was nice to be able to talk to someone again. I was currently sitting in my seat in the art room finishing my sketch from this morning or trying to while watching Mason copy my notes form most of our classes, maybe I should warn him hot about not being my friend but about what happened to Kerry and what could happen to him. But like he would believe me who would believe that my best friend was killed by a vampire because another supernatural creature decided to claim me as it's play toy, they would think I'm crazy I even think I'm crazy.

I'll risk it I will tell him and if he thinks I'm crazy I will laugh it off saying it was an idea for a story he might fall for that but I have to warn him I can't just let him die like I did with Kerry I should have warned her I will not make that mistake again.

"Mason can we hang out together for a bit after school, there is something I need to tell you if you really intend on being friends with me" I looked back down at my art work so he wouldn't see my face

Mason's P.O.V

Opal asked me if we could hang out after school, she wasn't looking at me so I had no idea what she was thinking, I couldn't sense the presence it had disappeared not long after history extension. I decided I would spend time with her after all I had wanted her to open up to me and want to spend time with me and she was so I didn't want to ruin all of my hard work.

"Yeah okay, how about we go to my house, you will have to drive though because I walked to school today." I knew that I shouldn't invite her to my house she could figure out what I am and that could cause lots of problems for both of us but I knew she didn't like spending time with people so if it was a private place she would probably be more comfortable.

"Okay" was her reply she was still looking down at her sketch I was going to have to ask her what they were about at some point. The bell rang signalling the end of lunch so I packed up my stuff and gave Opal her books back then we headed off to our last period class of English I didn't really want to go to that class again.

We walked slowly towards the class room, when we got there we were two minutes late Opal opened the door and walked in I followed behind her, as we walked towards our seats I could see the other students looking at us and I could tell that Miss Conner was going to go off at us or at least at Opal. "Miss Lost what have I told you about coming lat to class you show some respect for the other students they are trying to learn and Mr Wolf I will let you off this time because you are new but next time I won't be so lenient."

I couldn't stand it she was acting as if we had walked in after she had started the lesson and I knew for a fact that she hadn't "lenient how exactly have you been lenient? We walk in two minutes late and you go crazy at us when you haven't even started you lesson yet so we didn't really disturb the class you could have just ignored us and started but you didn't you wasted you valuable class time to go off at us when we didn't deserve it and you know it so shut up and leave us alone, okay" and with that I walked to my seat and sat down next to Opal, she was laughing but then the look on Miss Conner's face was funny so I joined in as did the rest of the class. Miss Conner's was not amused to say the least.

The remaining part of the English lesson was uneventful and soon over Opal and I walked towards her car and put our stuff in "I can't believe you actually said all that stuff to her, she is so going to hate you now but I'm glad you did." Opal told me, we climbed into the front of her car and she started driving following my directions to my house. She had the CD Essentially Naked by Bif Naked playing and it was on the song tango shoes Opal started singing along to it

When we're together,
I am alone.
Dawdle down the street, shuffle my feet,
Don't wanna go home.
There's an antique store.
I go inside.
All I got on me,
Is only twenty bucks and my pride.
That's when I see them!

My new tango shoes,
They are my treasure! They are so cool!
My new tango shoes,
They are my ticket! My tools!
My new tango shoes,
Are gonna help me dance away from you!
My new tango shoes!

I managed to not laugh but she was a great singer "I love your voice you could be a great singer one day if you wanted to" she just laughed at me then continued singing.

Like Cinderella, I am transformed.
Suddenly I'm taller
You're smaller
I am reborn!
With new courage,
I go downtown.
To find you sitting at a table,
Girls all around.
and they see my...

My new tango shoes,
They are my treasure! They are so cool!
My new tango shoes,
They are my ticket! My tools!
My new tango shoes,
Are gonna help me dance away from you!
My new tango shoes!

...see my sexy metamorphosis
Right before your angry eyes...
I stick a red rose in between my lips,
Turn on my heel,
Dance out of your life!

You told me you love me.
That was untrue.
Now that we're over,
This dance is for you.
Tango

when we got to my house she pulled up in the drive way. I still had no idea what she wanted to talk about but I could tell now by the look on her face that it was important.
