Jake was on top of Meli,both of them naked. Meli gasped loudly and covered herself the best way she can with her clothes. "Oh my gosh! I'm soo sorry!" I exclaimed. Jake jumped up and covered his male part. "I'm sorr-" I stopped short. I felt like I was going to puke. I immediately ran for the bathroom. I bust the stall door open,closed it with my foot,and threw up in the toilet. I lifted my head when finished and slumped against the wall. I could hear the air conditioner and footsteps getting closer to the bathroom. As expected,the door opens. I stayed quiet and waited for them to leave. "Did you hear,that girl,Katerina,is pregnant with Antonio's' baby?"

"Are you serious?"

"yes!"

"Antonio is too good for her. I don't know why he even wanted to go out with her."

"He probably felt sorry for her."

"I know right? I mean,what does she have that I don't? I'm gorgeous and popular."

"I know. I don't see why he turned you down. That girl is a slut!"

"Right? Anyways,we better get to class."

"Yeah." Once the girls left,I made sure their footsteps became faint and then,ran out the bathroom. "Kat!" I heard someone call out. I turned around and saw Meli running towards me. I stopped. "Hey Meli." I said uncomfortable. I could feel the akwardness in the air. "Hey,where are you going?" she asked. "Home. I'm not feeling too good.." I answered quietly. "But school barely started."

"I know..but I'm feeling really sick."

"Want me to drive you home?"

"No,it's ok.."

"I'm driving you home. Come on." Meli pulled me to her car and got in,turning the keys in the ignition. I got in,closed the door,and buckled my seat belt. "Listen,I'm sorry you saw that. I didn't mean for anyone to see that..." Meli finally spoke. I looked at her emotionless. I didn't expect nor want to talk about this. I sighed. "It's ok..just imagine if it was someone else." I said laughing. Meli gave a meaningful laugh. "Yeah. I guess I'm glad it was you and not principle Manson."

"You would've been in BIG trouble!"

"I know!" we both laughed. "This is some Wednesday I'm having." I muttered to myself. The rest of the car ride to Antonio's house (Well My house now too) was quiet. I guess neither of us knew what else to say. Finally,Meli pulled up to my house. "Hope you feel better Kat." Meli said turning to me. I thanked her and got out the car. Once inside the house,I went upstairs. I closed the door to my room and sat on my bed. I replayed what the girls in the bathroom were saying as I took off my shoes. A tear rolled down my eye. My life was ruined. Girls thought I was a total slut. Well,who wouldn't? I was going to have a baby for gods sake! I started sobbing loudly. I lyed on my bed and just cried until sleep took over.

Later that day,I woke up to the sound of the front door closing. I froze in fright,hoping it wasn't Kyrie. I could hear loud footsteps coming up the stairs. I instantly got up and hid on the side of the door. The footsteps were right at my door. I covered my mouth and quickly got a weapon. The door opened slowly and I saw a tall man walk into the room. I couldn't see the face. I walked up behind the man quietly as possible. Just as I was about to knock the man out,he turned around sharply and caught my arm. I gasped out loud. The man was Antonio. I sighed in relief and Antonio let go of my arm. "Thank god it's you!" I cried in relief. 'Who did you think it was?" Antonio laughed. "I thought you were Kyrie." I sighed. My heart was beating fast. "Why Kyrie?"

"I don't know...Just thought you were him."

"oh." Antonio said nodding. Antonio stared at me intently as if trying to see through me. "Are you ok?" he asked suddenly worried. "I'm fine,I just thought you were him thats all.."

"Katerina,please tell me. I can't protect you if you don't tell me whats going on.." he urged. I sighed. "That day Kyrie confronted me,he said that I wished I didn't say what I said...I just thought you were him and that he was going to kill me. It would be pretty easy too,since I don't know anything about being a vampiress.." I said and looked down,tears starting to pour out. Antonio immediately hugged me. "I'm not going to let him hurt you..I promise." he said in a soothing voice. He pulled away and grasped my hands in his and looked me in my tearful eyes. "I'm going to tell you everything I know about us." he said. I wiped my eyes and nodded before we both sat down on my bed. "Vampires/vampiress' could,of course,hear every little thing. We can also compel people to do whatever we say."

"How do you compel someone?"

"You just look someone straight in the eyes and tell them what you want them to do. there are vampires that use it for bad. My family use it for good. We only use it when someone discovers what we are and when we drink from someone." I stared at him intently. "Is that all?" I asked curiously. Antonio shook his head. "We can also jump from a high distance and have maximum strengh."

"I thought vampires have red eyes."

"We eyes turn red when we get the meantime,our eyes are our natural color." Antonio explained.

"Are you telling me you knew my eyes were red when I was angry and yelled at you?!" I shouted. All this time,when I got mad,my eyes turned red and no one told me about it. Now,I was angry. "Yes..like they are right now.I may say that red eyes make you look sexier." Antonio said calmly,a smirk crossing his face. I couldn't help but laugh at his comment. Who was I kidding? I couldn't stay mad at Antonio. Antonio laughed as I laughed and hugged me. "I love you." he said sweetly. I smiled into his chest. "I love you too." Antonio brought me down with him as he lay down on the bed. He kissed the top of my head. "You are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." He whispered. I sighed,but didn't answer. "Katerina?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you ok?" he asked concerned.

"No." I answered honestly. I looked up at him. "I heard some girls talking about you and me in the bathroom earlier today. That's why I left home early."

"What did they say that made you so upset?"

"One of them were talking about how you chose me over her.."I said. Antonio sighed heavily. "Courtney..yesterday,she threw herself at me and I rejected her,telling her I loved you and always will. She got upset and stormed off crying." he explained. I looked deep into his eyes as if trying to find out a mystery. "But why did you chose me? It's like what Courney said.. What do I have that she doesn't? She's popular and beautiful and..I'm not.." I looked down,tears threatening to fall. Antonio lifed my chin so our eyes would meet. "You have my heart..you have everything I've wanted in someone. Beauty,an amazing personality,the way you love the simple things in life...you don't try to be like anyone else. Your real and girls like Courtney are fake. Your not afraid to show the real you. Your not afraid to express your opinion. You go with your own flow and don't let anyone tell you what to do. You fight back. Your not a pacifist or a pushover. You go with your beliefs and that's all I've ever wanted in someone." I was crying now. Antonio wiped my tears away and kissed me on the lips softly. "I love you,don't question it." he said sweetly. I smiled weakly at him and lay my head back on his chest as Antonio wrapped his arms around me. "I love you.." I said as I drifted off to sleep.
