Neighbors
Modern day Seattle was boring and wet. Being from Seattle meant that everyone knew who I was and what I did little did I know that vampires lived amongst my community and not those damn sparkly gay vampires like in twilight. I had became a waitress at some little coffee shop and was getting ready to graduate highschool. I was the social outcast and the loser, I had no friends and hadn't ever dated anyone. I got egged and my house was tepeed nightly.
My foster parents rarely paid attention to me. I thought it was strange when those eight kids moved here. They were extremly pale and beautiful, One in particular was the most handsome. He had nicely kept blond hair and emerald eyes. It made me question my braided mahogany hair. His eyes were lovely. Like the summer leaves in trees. The other teenagers were moving large boxes into the house.
I stared out my window looking up from my study guide. It had begun to drizzle outside. I slipped on my work tee shirt and went to grab my cell when something caught my attention. The boy looked at my window, It felt like he was staring at me. I knew he probably couldn't see me but I was still fascinated. I saw a dark haired male with coffee colored eyes point to the house. I scrambled away from my window. Running downstaires. I slipped on a jacket and headed into the cold July drizzle. I walked towards my cheap ass car and slipped inside. I churned the key into the ignition. Nothing. Fabulous my damn car wasn't starting; I had to be at the shop in ten minutes. I growled frustrated. A knock dwelled on the window of my car. I looked out the blond haired boy was looking through my window. He was smiling a sweet smile. I rolled the window down.
"Yes?" I asked. He was still smiling. The boy was wearing a set of white jeans and a jacket.
"Uh, I just stopped by to say hello." He said holding out his hand I took the appendege. I jerked my hand back. His hands were freezing!
"Hello." I said. he looked hurt. I turned the key again. My car made a loud screeching noise before it just stopped. I sighed hitting the steering wheel.
"Do you need a ride to school?" The boy asked. I looked at him shocked. How could a stranger give me a ride? Does he know nothing of the physco killers in the world! Hell he could be some sex crazed rapist for all I knew. This blond creature of light could be some dirty rapist who gets girls by being nice. Now my next desicion was very stupid.
"Um, Yeah to work." I replied. Shit. I thought. I opened the door to the car. Its black paint chipping away, The boy held his hand towards me. I grasped it lightly.
"I'm Takuma Ichijo." He said his voice light and cheerful. He pulled me towards him. I let go of his cold hand and brushed my jeans off. Adjusting my glasses I followed him to a white bmw. My jaw hit the cold pavement. Why was he driving such a fancy car!
"Hi I'm Rowan Greshian." I said my blue eyes fixed on the car. He chuckled.
"Hm?" I said I was a total car buff. That and I loved books.
"I didn't know you were so interested in cars." He said. I turned to him excited. My eyes were wide.
"Yes cars are amazing!" I giggled. He gave me a nice smile gesturing my into the car. I slid in; the white leather smooth and cold. He turned on the engine. It was a silent pur. I grinned. It was amazing. As we pulled out I could see seven other teenagers looking shocked and angry. One however, The one with the wine colored eyes was chuckling. The boy with the blond hair was a very quite boy. I thought over topics to talk about.
"So, Takuma are there any books you are interested in?" I asked looking at him. I was nervous I mean this was a stranger!
"Hm," He thought his eyes still fixed on the icy road. "I do enjoy reading Gone with the wind. " I gaped that was one of my favorite books.
"I-" I began when the shrill ring of my phone went off. I looked at him he nodded staring at the road. "Hello?" I asked.
"Rowan don't come into work today." My boss, a very shrill woman stated. I was confused.
"Why?" I asked.
"Well, You're fired." She said and hung up.
"Dammit!" I shouted realizing I was in the car with someone I covered my mouth. This couldn't be happening. Fired? What the hell did I do?
"Did something happen?" He pondered taking his eyes off the road. I sighed pinching the bridge of my nose.
"My boss just fired me." I snorted. He looked at me confused. I looked at him and then looked down at him.
"Well, you see my boss must have not liked my performance so she fired me, you can take me back if you want." I murmured, twidiling my thumbs. I felt like I was being a difficult child at the store. The boy began to laugh. His bell like laughter filling my ears. I glared. This was not funny.
I closed the door to my bedroom. I looked at the clock on my nightstand. 8:15pm, what was weird was that my parent's werent home. I looked at my cell phone. 1 missed call. I started to fiddle around on my phone looking for my voicemails. I held the phone to my ear.
"Hi Honey its me, Your father and I are away on buisiness and wont be back for awhile this buisiness trade is really important. Be safe" My mothers overprotective voice talked in my ear. I sighed plopping down on my bed. They were always away on buisness. I looked out the window. It had begun to rain and typical thing for Seattle. I began to wonder what my neighbors were up to it struck to me a strange sense of secrecy went on with thouse eight teenagers.
"This will be an interesting summer wont it?" I asked aloud to myself. Human beings were so interesting. Then again its what isnt human that is so scary that its interesting. That fear of what lies in the dark, the fear of the unknown or that fear of the darkness that lies within yourself.
Heehee! I was incredibly Bored.
