Chapter 9: Hanging Out
I couldn't understand everything he said. Half the things sounded more like mumbling. But why did he ran off so suddenly? Well from what I did hear, it seemed like he was in a rush.
"He's a funny little fellow, isn't he?"
I turned around quickly and saw another face in front of me. But he was backwards, hanging from the tree. Except what surprised me the most was the fact that it looked liked he had fangs! I let out a scream and punched him on the shoulder.
He fell right away, and I immediately ran off. But he soon caught up to me and blocked my way. I looked around for an escape.
"Please don't run away from me. I didn't mean to alarm you."
"You're not a vampire then?"
"What? Oh no, not at all." He laughed softly. "I'm sorry if I scared you."
"Okay." I sat down to catch the rest of my breath.
"Just like that you believe me?"
"Well, if you were you would of attacked by now."
"True." He sat down too. "My name is Demetri. You're new right?"
"Yes. I'm Elena. How much did you see?"
"Huh? Oh right, ever since you climbed up the tree."
I felt myself blushing. What a terrible first impression I have made.
"Do you realize there is still a leave in your hair? Here, allow me." He pulled the leave out and let it get blown away with the wind. "Well, I should get going. It was nice to meet you. Oh, and make sure to watch your back. There are some people that have become quite jealous of you"
"Wait, what do you mean?" But he had already disappeared. I couldn't imagine anyone becoming jealous of me. I see myself as plain and simple. And I'm not even wealthy, plus I don't have any special skills.
"Hola Elena!" It was Antonio and Lovino was right beside him. "Lovino was wondering if you wanted to join us at downtown. It's always perfect to go there on a Friday."
"You!" Lovino blushed slightly and hit Antonio with his book. "Quit twisting the words around. It was your idea too!"
"Ah haha, yes, the both of us want you to come. Unless you have other plans already?"
"Sure, I would love to come."
"Wonderful, let's go!" Antonio arm-linked with Lovino and me.
The whole time we walked across campus I couldn't help but feel like someone was watching us. Perhaps I was becoming paranoid. Some fresh air would definitely help out. We hopped on the bus and got off at the outskirts of town.
Antonio stretched out his arms. "Welcome to this part of town. Now stick close to us and don't get lost."
We first went to a music store and listened to a couple of new songs. Then we went to a video game store and played a bit, we went into a photo booth, walked into a book store, did some shopping, and went into a pet store. After that Antonio said he had to leave for a while and that he would meet us later.
"What! Where are you possibly going to go?" Lovino crossed his arms.
"Don't wait for me, go eat ahead. I'll be back after a while" He waved as he left.
"That bastard! Leaving with no explanations."
We walked into a restaurant and the waitress took us to an empty table. Then a different waitress came to take our orders. I didn't know why there were so many waitress if it wasn't even a fancy restaurant. As we waited for the food, Lovino took out his mp3 player and we shared the headphones.
Another waitress finally arrived with our food. "Anything else for the couple?"
"Huh?" Lovino looked puzzled.
I shook my head. "Oh no, we're not a couple."
Lovino finally understood. "Yeah. We're just friends."
The waitress just winked. "Let me know if you would like to order anything else."
We watched her walk away, then we immediately pulled off the headphones. We were quiet for a while as we ate. I decided to break the silence. "Where do you think Antonio went?"
"No clue. But he better have a good explanation when he returns."
