Hey, hey, hey! What's up everybody?? I know that last chapter ended kinda weird-ish… sorry about that. I just couldn't think of how I was gonna end it and still make this chapter a decent length. So I hope you enjoy. :D

Kerry was so surprised to have this unexpected, but definitely welcome, guest that she almost forgot to ask his name. "Oh. I'm so sorry. I don't think I caught your name?"
He smiled that brilliant smile of his. "I didn't say. But I will now. My name is Matt. Like I said earlier, I'm a friend of somebody you used to know."
Kerry was confused. Who did she know who could possibly know somebody like this? Unless… "Um, do you want a drink or a snack or something?"
"No thanks, I ate before coming here." He smiled wider, revealing some disturbingly long canines. Kerry started to get a little bit nervous.
"I can see you're a little bit nervous," he said casually. "You're probably wondering why I'm here."
Kerry sat down on the sofa across from the chair, where Matt was sitting. She nodded.
He nodded too and said, "Well, that's a long story. Let's make it short. What would you do if you heard some old friend of yours was hurt? Maybe fatally?"
Kerry sat stunned. "Who's hurt?" she managed to get out. The blood was draining from her face slowly.
He tsked at her and said, "I said what if Kerry, you really need to listen…"
Kerry breathed a sigh of relief and said coldly, "If there's a reason you came here and if it wasn't to scare the hell out of me, please tell me soon so you can leave."
Matt laughed and said, "Just chill. I was only joking." His voice held a small accent to it, but Kerry couldn't quite place it. She could tell it was European, though.
They both sat there for a moment. Kerry waited for Matt to say more, while he waited to see what exactly she would do if he wouldn't say any more. Kerry snapped first.
"I really need to get to work soon. My boss will be pretty mad if I'm late." She was only partly lying. Her boss would get mad if she was late, but Kerry couldn't be late because she wasn't working that night. "So, if you would either tell me or leave, that would be great." She walked over to the door and began to unlock it, wondering when she locked it that night when another knock came at the door.
Why is it that when I decide I want food, people start coming to the door?! I'm gonna end up starving tonight… she thought as she opened the door. It was somebody else she didn't know standing out there. This one was a girl. She was tall, pale, and really pretty. Her eyes were a deep purple. And her brown hair was tied back in a ponytail. She walked in past Kerry and sat down by Matt, who began eyeing her in the way only a guy can.
"Um…" Kerry said, "Who are you?"
"Oh, how stupid of me. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Shita. I'm a friend of a friend. I think the same friend of the one who's sitting right here next to me." She looked at Matt suggestively. Kerry rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, but why are you two here? Why aren't you at your friend's house?"
"Because he said the party was here tonight," Shita said simply.
Matt got up and walked over to where Kerry's boom box was sitting next to the rack of CDs. He sifted through, found Breaking Benjamin, and put it on.
Kerry sighed, defeated, and said wearily, "So how many more are coming?"
Matt grinned and said, "Well, our friend said he would be here a few minutes after he sent me up." He pulled Shita up and started to dance with her. "Kerry, you had better call in sick to work tonight. Our friend probably wants you here too." With that, Matt stopped talking and kept dancing. Kerry wondered how they could dance in such little space. They made it look so easy.
Kerry walked into her room and closed the door against the music and giggles from Shita. She flopped back onto her bed and took out her phone to call for some pizza. She ordered a medium cheese pizza and waited for it to come.
Five minutes later there was a knock at the door. Again. Kerry groaned and got up to answer it grumbling, "That better be the pizza guy." Naturally, when she opened the door, it wasn't the pizza guy that was standing there, but another gorgeous person waiting to be let in. Kerry sighed, tuned around, and said, "You don't need to tell me. You're here for the party too. They're over there." She pointed to Matt and Shita, who were all over each other, and walked back to her room.
"Um, actually," he said, "I'm here to see you." Kerry paused, turned back to him and took a good look.
Yeah, she had seen this guy around campus. He was a nice one to look at. And he was always out in the sun, so he couldn't be a vampire. So what was his reason for being here tonight?
"So…You're having a party, huh? Why aren't you in it?"
"Well, it's not exactly my party. I think these are some of Seb and Beth's friends."
He nodded and said, "Where's Seb?"
Kerry wondered for a second why he didn't ask about Beth, but then realized he still thought she was dead. She said, "I dunno, but he better be back soon before I kick both of them out. It doesn't seem like anybody else is coming…" And there was another knock on the door. Kerry sighed, opened it, saw she didn't know who it was, pointed and said, "They're over there."
She looked at the guy who was still standing by the door and said, "What's your name?"
He smiled and said, "I'm Jay. I saw you around campus and asked around. That's how I found out who you are and what building you're living in. I was wondering if you wanted to go out for a bite to eat?"
Kerry smiled and said, "Well, actually, I'm waiting for some pizza to come. So…would you like to join me?"
He grinned and said, "I would love to." They started to walk back to Kerry's room when there was another knock at the door. Kerry made a face and said, "I'll be there in a sec. The room to the right is mine." He walked off to her room and Kerry turned around to go to the door.
Before she opened it, she took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and opened the door. "I'll take you to where everybody else is. Come on." The guy following her looked amused. When she came to where the three other people were dancing. Loudly she said, "I'll answer the door until my pizza delivery comes, but after that, if somebody knocks on the door, you guys are gonna answer it!" They kept dancing and didn't seem to take notice of what she was saying.
Kerry was grumbling on the way back to her room when there was another knock at the door. She picked up her wallet from her room really quick, praying it would be the pizza, and ran to open the door. It wasn't the pizza. Kerry almost fainted.
It was Michel.

Ok, so this one was pretty short. I want pizza. Badly… Urgh… There were a lot of knocks at the door. So is Michel the friend or another friend of a friend? Are they all lying about being a friend of a friend?!?! I have no idea what I'm doing anymore. So…bear with me!! SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG!!!
