Part 3
For the next two weeks, my life seemed to suddenly. Zeke was becoming my best friend, I could talk to him about anything and everything. He didn't talk a lot, he just listened, he was kind of remote, but it didn't bother me in the slightest. I knew he liked me.
The feelings I'd had when we first met, the bad feelings that something was going to happen, they were still there, hovering about the back of my mind. I wasn't sure as to what they were, or whether or not they would come true, but I wasn't concerned. Until we got our groups for our history project.
We were supposed to pick an era in time, do some research on it, and then present that research as a group. And I found myself thrown in with Zeke and Topaz.
Topaz was not happy about this at all, and took complete control of everything. She had never forgive me for the fact that Zeke liked me, not her.
After two days into the research, I was ready to kill her. We were sitting in the library, trying to pick to pick a subject to work on. I wanted to do Ancient Egypt, the period had always fascinated me, I can't really say why, it just did. Topaz wanted to do the Aztecs and the Mayans, a horrifically violent ancient cult. Some of their customs made me shudder just thinking about them.
The pictures in the books Topaz had found were making me sick. I couldn't help a shiver.
Topaz noticed, snorting. "Oh grow up," she snapped. "It's not like they're still around today. Some of these are no worse than say - mummification."
"People were already dead when they were mummified," I pointed out.
"Not necessarily," Topaz said in a sing-songy sort of voice, inspecting long purple nails. "Sometimes they did it alive for a punishment." Her smile said she didn't really disapprove.
Unable to take anymore of her bitchiness, I gathered my books and stormed off. The hell with her. I was half way out the library when I realises Zeke was following.
"Seraphin wait," he called. I walked on, ignoring him. I was royally pissed off and not in the mood for polite small talk, and how Topaz didn't mean the things she said. Despite how he tried to hide it, I knew that somehow or other, he knew her. And she still wouldn't lay off him.
"Don't start," I muttered. "I don't need to hear any bullshit about how she doesn't meant it and all."
"That's not what I was going to say."
I continued moving on, ignoring him. School had ended a long time ago, the hallways were all deserted, the after school clubs all finished. Dark shadows were everywhere, and it seemed somewhat...eerie.
"Seraphin." Zeke had somehow managed to get in front of me, forcing me to stop. I wasn't sure how he had done it, the movement had been too fast for me to see. I had been going pretty quickly. And...
I just stood there, glaring at him. It wasn't his fault I was upset, but I was angry enough to be pissed at anyone right now. Before I could open my mouth, he grabbed my shoulders, pulled me close, and kissed me.
I melted. I had never experienced anything like it before. Okay, it was the first time I'd gotten to first base with a guy, but...but this was...
It was amazing. A white light of some sort was filling me, seeming to be drawing us closer, something was happening inside my head, my mind...I was being almost drawn into his...
But before I could go in any deeper, he pulled back, looking alarmed and surprised. I was confused. "It was...bad?"
"No, no, good kiss, it was a good kiss." He shook his head, seeming baffled. He wasn't the only one. "Situation bad. Situation very, very bad."
"Bad? Why? What's going on?"
He shook his head again. "I...I'll see you later." And he was off. I stood there confused, still amazed at how fast he could move. Something was going on here.
Again all my old suspicions were resurfacing. The suspicions that this guy was different, and things were going to change. And...
And what?
