-SEXY TIME

Chapter 10

For some odd reason, even though Jenny didn't bug me or send me dirty looks, I felt like she still wasn't done with her dirty tactics. It felt like she was waiting for the perfect time…or the perfect opportunity to shove something in my face. Whatever it was that kept making me feel on edge would soon come out.

As I sat in Zane's seat, because really it was mine now, I sent glances at Jenny and Zane. Watching at the reactions and emotions that sent across their faces. I had such an uneasy feeling.

As the bell rang, I hopped out my seat and into the wheelchair, getting a few curious glances.

Only 1 more day of this hell! Then good bye Satan cast!

Zane walked next to me as we went to our next class, which thankfully I didn't have to do anything. I sat to the side to watch all the other students play volley ball or run around the track. Often Zane would momentarily stop and glance my way, as if to make sure I was ok. I would smile and wave, and then he would go back doing whatever he was doing.

As the period ended, I waited for Zane to change and then we made our way towards the lunch area; because of course I'm really hungry.

"Are you ok?" Zane asked me, and I looked up surprised.

"Yea, why?"

"I don't know it's just that you look like something is wrong." Zane said continued to walk.

"Well…I do have this feeling like something bad is going to happen…" I said.

"I've been having that feeling too." Zane said, looking down at me surprised.

"Weird, huh?" I replied. The feeling got worse after Zane said that.

Once we made it to the cafeteria I settled in a chair and was about to eat a slice of pizza but Zane quickly snatched it away.

"What are you doing?" I asked, trying to get my pizza back.

He leaned in and sniffed the pizza. I stared at him like he was nuts, and quickly grabbed it out of his hand, careful to not mess it up.

"Wait!" he said quickly and tried getting it back, but I hurriedly bit into it.

He practically pounced on me and grabbed my jaw roughly.

"Spit it out!" he said frantically, but I continued to try and chew it.

I finally swallowed it and slapped his hands away from my face.

"What is your problem?" I asked staring at him.

"Someone could have poisoned that!" he replied, trying to stick his finger down my throat.

I bit his finger and he almost squeaked. He quickly pulled his hand back and frowned at me.

"I don't need help throwing up Zane! IF I even wanted to throw up; But I don't!" I said reaching for the pizza again but it was gone.

I turned to Zane to see him gobbling down the pizza.

"Hey!" I shouted and punched him in the throat. He made a weird noise and turned red. He started beating on the table and scratching at his throat.

I finally realized he was choking and completely forgetting about my cast, I hurriedly got up and went behind him. I started doing the Heimlich-maneuver and finally he spit the pizza out. He was breathing heavily and gripping his throat.

"What the hell was that for!?" he turned, red faced and all, and yelled at me.

"You shouldn't have stolen my pizza and-"suddenly my vision blurred and the world tilted.

"Tara…" I heard Zane's voice in the haze but everything went black.

Narrator

Zane quickly caught Tara before she fell to the floor. Damn! He knew there was something wrong with the Pizza.

Carrying Tara to her room in angry strides he set her down gently on the bed, turning to find Matt in the doorway.

"Keep an eye on her, I'll be right back" Zane ordered Matt and took his leave, heading straight for Jenny's room.

He knocked loudly on Jenny's door and a moment later she answered, looking tired.

"What's going on…?" Once she looked up to see Zane she seemed to brighten. "Oh, Zane. Why are you here?" she asked.

Zane's eyes narrowed and he growled.

"So you're still pretending to play dumb?" Zane angrily snipped off, and pushed the door open, walking slowly inside making Jenny back up.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Jenny said, getting agitated.

"So you're telling me you didn't poison Tara's Pizza?" Zane asked angrily.

"She's poisoned?" Jenny brightly asked.

He noted the surprise and happiness in her words. So she didn't know?

"So you had no idea about the pizza?" Zane asked, unsure.

"I don't know why I didn't think of that…" Jenny trailed off in thought.

Zane huffed and turned to leave but Jenny quickly grabbed his arm.

"Wait, I think there's something you should know about your little angel." Jenny started, but Zane shrugged her off.

"I don't care what you have to say because it's most likely a lie." He said, walking out the room.

Jenny hurriedly went to the door and yelled out before he completely left.

"You know! I'm not the only one who hates your girlfriend!" Jenny yelled, but Zane hurried down the hall.

Once he made it back to Tara's room he walked in to find Matt talking to Tara.

Tara looked up and blinked.

"Where did you go?" Tara asked, sitting straighter.

"I went to Jenny's room." He said sitting down at the edge of her bed and ran a hand through his hair.

"I didn't think that poison would fade away that quickly, but it did." Tara said yawning.

"Your lucky you didn't eat all the pizza; thanks to me." Zane said.

"Which reminds me, why didn't you get sick?"

"It's pretty impossible to hurt me. Tranquilizers don't work, and neither do pills or poisons." He said, stretching.

"I guess we all can't be so lucky…" She said, turning to Matt.

"What have you been up to all day?" she asked him.

"Nothing much really, just the usual. I've been helping my uncle with a few things, but nothing extreme." He said rubbing the back of his neck.

"I wonder where Alex is…" Tara said then took a look at her cast to make sure it hadn't messed up.

"You are probably going to be stuck in that cast for another day or two, because you stood on it." Zane said smirking.

"Oh, God. Don't tell me that!" she exclaimed.

They laughed and decided to go outside. Tara was wheeled around in her wheel chair and Zane pushed her. 5 minutes in the walk, Matt excused himself and said something about helping out his uncle.

"So, why exactly are you in a vampire school, anyway?" Tara asked Zane.

"My parents where murdered and I was adopted by, oddly enough, a vampire family. They decided that bonding with other races would be a great experience so they sent me here." He said, staring off into the forest. "What about you?"

Tara made a sound.

"Well, my parents died and I ended up in a foster home. I guess I wasn't much the kind of person that liked to listen to people, so my foster mother thought it was a great idea to send me to an all vampire school to learn about my heritage and other crap. She also thought I would learn manners but I think she was kidding herself." Tara replied, smirking.

"Did you live with all vampires? Or where there other races?" Zane asked, speeding up the pace when he pushed her.

"My foster parents mostly took care of vampires, but they had the occasional Fae's and demons." She said, thinking back to when she was younger.

"Fae's and Demons?" He asked, and sounded interested. "What were they like?"

"Well the Fae's… they were ok. But the Demons were little bastards. They always pulled pranks and blamed them on me, hence, another reason I was sent here." She smiled as she said it.

"What age were you when your parents died?" Zane asked.

Tara hesitated but decided to answer honestly.

"I was 5 and you?" she asked, already knowing yet wanting to believe other wise.

"I was 5 too." He said, sounding a bit strange. "Do you remember what your family was like? Did you have siblings?"

Tara didn't like the direction the conversation was going.

"I had a brother, but he died too. And I don't really remember much about my family…Only bits and pieces." Tara said, giving a fake smile. "What about you?"

He smiled brightly.

"I had an older brother and two little sisters." Zane said, but his smile faded. "Sometimes I can remember their faces and personalities clearly and other days I can barely remember their smiles."

He chuckled then and said. "We were-wolves have perfect memory. A curse and a gift."

He stopped pushing her and parked her next to a bench, then sat down.

Tara wanted to scream. If he had perfect memory then there is no way he is going to forget what happened the day his parents died.

She asked the dumbest question she could have ever asked.

"How exactly did they die…?" she asked, and automatically regretted it, and also hoped she was wrong.

"They were murdered by two vampires…Although I'm not very sure why they attacked my family. It was a regular day and we were out playing and suddenly there were screams and blood was everywhere…" Zane huffed and continued. "I held my baby sister in my arms as she died…I watched as my parents were slain right in front of me…"

Tara turned her head to the side trying to hide the tears that clouded her vision.

"How did your parents die?" He asked the question Tara was dreading.

She was stuck…should she tell him the truth? Should she lie? Should she just tell him she didn't know…?

She turned hiding her emotions perfectly, and gave a small smile.

She faced him and said, "Car accident." Then shrugged.

He nodded and gave a small smile also.

Automatically she regretted telling such a lie, but she didn't want him to get angry and hate her. She wanted a friend…something she could honestly say she never had.

Either because of her crabby personality or just because people didn't like her…she never had a real friend.

She wanted to be friends with Zane…

Why was she kidding herself? She wanted to be more then friends…she wanted to be cared for and worried about, she wanted to be….loved.

She wanted to love and be loved.
