Chapter 7
It was Friday afternoon, the bell finally rang out through the classroom speakers. Lunch time was here at last for those students that were either hungry or bored at Monster Prep. The classroom doors flew open, the hallways were filled to the brim with rushing students storming to feed there stomachs. It was one of the only off campus schools in the whole district. The students were either allowed to leave campus if they wished to get lunch or stay on campus and eat in the cafeteria. Amongst the masses was a particular white cloaked vampire silently hovering past a few groups of monsters occasionally bumping into passerby's. She was eagerly making her way towards the library with great haste.
Elocin was beyond nervous, since the beginning of school. Her classes felt like they dragged on for eternity waiting for lunch to roll around. Butterflies attacked her stomach every time the pale beauty thought of Vincent. Elocin would occasionally get small toothy smiles from Vincent every time she looked his way giving her some encouragement in the situation. The pale beauty was glad to go alone to the library. Just like the note asked, despite Edda and Jeffree's pleas to go with her. Elocin was able to convince Jeffree to go in the cafeteria along with the rest of her friend group. The only monster that knew her real motives was Lacy. If anything, the werewolf gladly encouraged Elocin to go and stalled whenever Jeffree started to worry.
Within five minutes Elocin made it in front of a large two -story Victorian building that was probably older than the school itself. The details in the stain glass windows, gargoyles, gray stones, and fine molding was to die for. The architecture was beautiful in its own rite, the overcast skies making the library look mysterious and mystical. Elocin personally thought it was going to be her favorite place to go whenever she wanted to be alone or ditch the buzz of school life. Walking up the stairs the pale beauty made it towards the double glass doors. Pulling the doors open noiselessly, she tiptoed inside, a gentle smile graced her face. The library was like a dream come true, it was huge. There were lots of bookshelves everywhere, an organized reception desk, accent chairs, desks for studying, and computers.
Looking around Vincent was no where to be found. The pale beauty saw the staircase not giving up hope that Vincent ditched her. Elocin decided to go up the stairs and look around the second floor to see if Vincent was up there. To her excitement the lizard boy was there. He was casually sitting on a grey accent chair across from an empty one near a window. He was drinking a Mountain Dew and reading a thick book. Elocin smiled, eagerly taking the seat across from Vincent startling him. He almost dropped his soda in the process, she scared the heck out of him.
"Oh hi..I'm so very sorry for scaring you.. I got your note.. Hopefully you don't mind me eating lunch with you." Elocin giggled awkwardly. Her heart was beating at a hundred miles per hour while she played with a strand of long white hair between her finger tips. The nervous habit was becoming obsessive as the pale beauty waited for his reply. Vincent just half smiled as he put the book and soda on the small wooden coffee table in between them. He fixed his glasses pushing them up on his face.
"Ummm.. I'm glad you decided to come Elocin ... It's nice to finally get to talk to you and meet you without everyone watching... I'm kinda an introvert... Hopefully you don't find that creepy... I also just wanted to thank you for saving me from Worthington... If it wasn't for you and your friends my phone would have met its end like my last one." Vincent spoke breathlessly in a deep voice, his cheeks were tinted pink and his bright golden eyes were sparkling in curiosity, as he waited for the pale beauties response.
"Oh you don't have to thank me Vincent. I couldn't just sit there and let that ass wipe push you around. I may be new to this school and schooling in general, but that doesn't mean I can't see whose the popular fuck boy...excuse my language and bluntness...Then he had the nerve to flirt with me, that jack ass... Should have just asked Lacy and Jeff finish his punk ass off..." Elocin snarled baring her fangs.
"Oh it's fine, if anything your judgement is right on the dollar. But Please be careful and look after yourself. Worthington is the kind of monster that doesn't quit when he likes a female...He'll keep bothering you until you give in... He did it to so many helpless others in middle school..." Vincent warned with a sad expression, while he took a sip of his soda.
"Thanks for the information Vincent, I'll use it to my advantage. If that ass wipe so much as lays a finger on me he'll regret it.. If we ever have a purge Worthington would be the first on my hit list. "Elocin smirked wickedly, she really didn't like the way the jock eyed her person the day before.
Vincent watched her with astonishment, Elocin was everything he wanted in a female. Beautiful, sweet personality, natural humor, Violent tendencies, and Fowl language. It was officially a bonus that Elocin hated Worthington. "Haha just remind me to stay off of your bad side, I value my life compared to my cousin Rex. Even though I'm pretty sure he's on your brothers hit list."
"Hehe very wise Vincent, better watch out. " Elocin winked at Vincent making him blush again before she continued to speak. "As for your cousin I have no clue what his deal is. Me and my brother Jeffree heard everything he was saying during orientation. Speaking of the devil, What is up with your cousin anyways? What did we ever do to him?"
" you heard him during orientation? How? We were sitting like a few seats away from you guys.. Wait is it like a vampire thing?" The lizard boy held a puzzled expression on his face.
"Yes it's a vampire trait. We have very good sense of hearing. Jeffree and I can hear things two miles away and sometimes even further then that. Just imagine the nights when my parents argue and other things..." Elocin crinkled her nose.
"Haha Okay tmi... I don't really have to put up with that, my parents are never really home and my room is up stairs."
"Consider yourself lucky it's like a gift and curse along with some of my other abilities. We can see in the dark, walk on walls, hover, drink blood, and in emergencies talk telepathically."
"Oh that's pretty cool all I can do is climb walls, see in the dark, and turn colors." Vincent said awkwardly. He really didn't want to tell her about his invisibility and color blending. He found his traits embarrassing because he couldn't control them like Rex and the rest of his family. He thought it would be best to keep it to himself until ROTC started preparing for the survival tournament.
"Well going back to the previous topic Rex is my cousin. He is just an "ass wipe" as you so gladly dubbed Worthington. Don't take any offense of Rex's stupid behavior, he's been like that since he moved in with my family. He doesn't like anyone but Chad. I honestly think they have a thing for each other." The lizard boy whispered to Elocin making her laugh.
"Isn't Chad that retarded dude who sits next to you in ROTC?" Elocin asked. She really didn't like the way Chad talked to Lacy when she called him out and told him off after the laps and push-ups. In her opinion Lacy put his punk ass in his place.
"Yeah that's him. We share a neutral acquaintanceship, but to be honest I can only tolerate him for so long. He's beyond obnoxious and he has no common sense whatsoever. Don't even get me started on why I never tell him my secrets.. He always goes to tell my cousin what I'm doing so he can blackmail me.." Vincent scowled.
"You would honestly think a close relative would be loyal. I'm sorry to hear about your cousin. If you ever need to talk to someone Vincent, just know I'm here." Elocin spoke with a kind softness. The pale beauty quickly opened up her backpack and took a pink thermos out. Taking the top off the container, Elocin took a good gulp of artificial blood. The pale beauty had to drink some blood before she pulled a "Jeffree" and attacked Vincent. The smell of his tangy blood was getting to her by the second.
"Thank you, it means a lot, same goes for you, if you need to talk about something. And Not trying to sound rude but is that blood your drinking or something else?"
"Yeah it's blood. Hopefully this doesn't make you uncomfortable or grossed out like Lacy and Ned. This is my breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. Vampires have to eat too ya know?" Elocin snickered while she licked some blood off her bottom lip. Vincent bit down on his cheek trying to fight a blush. Elocin was being sexy without even knowing it.
"No it's kinda cool actually, I couldn't imagine the trouble your parents must go through with finding somewhere that sells blood. If anything I find it awesome, you don't meet monsters that drink blood for living. You ever try mixing it with regular food? It might make it taste better." Vincent suggested with a shrug trying his hardest to play it cool.
"My parents do have issues finding it, we usually get blood through the hospital and blood banks. My mom is the one who handles getting our blood bags once a week. While my dad won't because he's squeamish and it grosses him out. Jeffree and I are adopted so my parents had to adapt to our special diets. As for eating blood with regular food, it's good on sweets in my opinion."
"Wow being a vampire seems like a lot of work and very complicated in some aspects, but in a good way."
"Yeah it is. Sometimes it's hard being different. We're not treated kindly by most. That's why Jeffree and I are going to the vampire werewolf club next week to find out more about ourselves our heritage, and how to blend in."
"That's awesome. I hope you guys have fun and learn all kinds of cool stuff. I'm just going to stick with JROTC. I'm going to participate in the survival tournament. I want to try the five day trail race."
"You're going to be in the compass race? Damn you're brave Vincent, you have some guts. Especially because you're going to be stuck in the middle of the desert with some other monster with an equal death wish. To be honest I'm kinda thinking about it, even though Cooper keeps pestering me to join the tournament anyways."
"Well it's up to you. No one should be pressuring you. If you do, you'll apparently be the first female to participate in the tournament. The only reason why I'm doing the tournament is to prove to my parents, especially my dad, that I can take care of myself."
"That's a very good goal Vincent. I know you can do it and probably get first place. And well besides me, you're forgetting Lacy. She's going to be in the tournament too. But I'm sure for other reasons." The pale beauty shook her head. It was quite obvious that the werewolf was doing it, to get Coopers attention.
Elocin pushed the thought away pulling out her silver pocket watch from her white skinny jean pocket looking at the time. They only had five minutes left before the bell rang." We only have a few minutes left of lunch you want to trade phone numbers?"
"Yeah that would be awesome since you have your friends and I have my cousin latched on to my hip..."Vincent said with a hiss. He didn't want Rex to find out about Elocin and ruin everything. Vigorously the lizard boy pulled his phone out of his pocket and Elocin did the same. They switched phones putting in digits.
"Thank you for talking to me Elocin. Hopefully we can see each other again. What about next Wednesday?"
"No I have my first meeting for the vampire and werewolf club in the library. How about Friday?"
"Yeah that will work I'll text you later." Vincent said with a smile. Elocin smiled back as the two walked out of the library together.
XxX
Jeffree, Edda, Andrew, Nick, Ned, and Lacy sat together at the lunch table near the back of the cafeteria. They were all enjoying each other's company with the exception of Jeffree. The nerd felt empty and alone without his twin. He was tempted to leave and accompany Elocin in the library.
"I wonder how Elo is doing you think she's okay? I really didn't want her to go by herself. What if she runs into trouble?" Jeffree asked while he finished his blood.
"Vampy chill out bro she's just going to do some research, the library is a safe haven from the jocks if that's what you're so concerned about. Maybe going alone is good for her. Keep in consideration that she doesn't have to constantly be where ever you are." Lacy said while taking a bite off her raw salmon.
"Yeah maybe it is good to venture out on ones own, from time to time. I usually do, I don't like it when Audrey tries to follow me around. I like to have my alone time at school. She knows better then to interfere." Andrew said. He looked almost uncomfortable talking about the subject.
"Ja Andrew is right. Let Elo go have her time Jeffy. I'm sure she would do the same fo sie."
"Agh fine... You all convinced me. I just hope you're all right." Jeffree said. He pushed his glasses to the bridge of his nose, while his pink eyes scanned the cafeteria. They landed on Audrey while she sat with a group of cheer leaders, jocks, dance team, and popular students chatting away. Her face held a sort of softness. It almost confused Jeffree seeing the Hardscrabble heiress with her guard completely down around such a group of snobby, gossipy peers.
"So Ned any crushes we need to know about this year bro? Come on spit it out for your big sis." Lacy tried to make her brother spill.
"Umm no... Why do you?" Ned shot back. The pink monster started to fidget with his blue sweater sleeve. He was really starting to grow uncomfortable with the situation. He was not exactly sure where his sexuality sat. Ned had not told any monster about his curiosity and interest in males after the summer ended. His family pretty much thought he was straight as a flag pole. He was to afraid to tell Lacy and Nick in fear of coming out of the closet. Ned really didn't want his father to know, he had no clue how either of his parents would take it.
"Yes I have the hots for Cooper. He's so fucking dreamy, I would so do him in my dreams if I could..,. I get to look at him all day in JROTC. It's like fantasy fuel. Especially in that uniform." Lacy cooed as her tail swished back and forth in a playful manner.
"Haha we can only imagine what Lacy does in her spare time." Edda hackled loudly making the lunch table shake.
"Lacy we all really didn't need to know that you perv... Me on the other hand.. Well I like Cathy Williams." Nick said with a blush looking over at a purple monster in a cheerleader uniform sitting at the table Audrey was at.
"In your dreams Nick . She's so out of your league. I think one of the thunder heads has dibs on her anyways. She would probably be a bad choice in a girlfriend anyways." Lacy stated bluntly. The werewolf really didn't like the William sisters.
"That's a little mean, I think he could have a chance. You have such a lack of faith." Jeffree commented.
"Speaking of crushes do sie like anyone Jeffy?" Edda tired to ask. Every monster at the table looked at him. There eyes demanding a reply. "Nope. I'm more focused on school right now."Jeffree said with all honesty. He really didn't find any female appealing in the slightest. The nerd was looking for a monster in reasonable standards and good morals. He was more picky then any monster would give him credit for.
"well that's not surprising. You just started freshman year. It's not like you know everyone from elementary and middle school like the rest of us." Andrew said. He felt bad that Lacy was pestering him so early in the year. Jeffree mouthed thank you to Andrew for backing him up."Enough of this crush crap I want to enjoy my lunch in peace please." Andrew spoke with an annoyed tone. He really didn't want Lacy to ask him, he didn't want anyone to over hear his preference. Liking Elocin was like suicide if Audrey overhead him.
" Hey I have an idea lets have a Bon fire and camp out next Saturday at reaper lake. I can get Cooper to get us some rides. Who's all in?" Ned asked.
"I'll bring the fire wood, lighter, energy drinks,and junk food." Nick chuckled. He really liked to eat and set stuff on fire.
"Sure I have nothing better to do. I'll talk Elocin into going with us." Jeffree said with a smile.
"I'll go with you dweebs." Lacy chuckled.
"Ja! Out of the house and into the woods." Edda said.
"yeah I'll go if my grams lets me." Andrew looked almost nervous at the idea.
Well there's the end of chapter 7. I had so much fun writing Elocin and Vincent's library meeting. Hehe can't wait to make them a couple. And I'm sure you'll be surprised with who Jeffree starts falling for XD
