I started walking back towards the table me and my friends usually sit out and almost everyone was there. I saw Brandon, a big smile plastered on his face. I turned quickly; intending on going elsewhere but Brandon saw me and yelled my name out. I turned around and started walking towards our table. I sat down and Brandon came to my side of the table and he held my hand. I looked at him strangely and tried to rip my hand free of his. He only held it tighter and I sighed and gave up. What the hell is going on?
"So when did you plan on telling me you guys were dating? I thought we told each other eevverryytthhinngg" Caren's high pitched whiny voice made me want to cover my ears and hope of never hearing again.
"Yea… I sort of told them about us…if you don't mind" he looked at me with pleading eyes.
Us? The only us there had been is when you came on me...which really wasn't an us. It was a You.
He brought our linked hands on top of the table making it obvious for everyone to see. I noticed he kept looking to his left every three seconds.
I turned around and almost instantly knew what he was looking at. There on the other side of the cafeteria was a girl. No, not girl a vampire. She had dirty blond hair that reached just below her chin. Her eyes were blue and I she stood at about 6ft. a familiar figure was facing towards her and I saw her glance me way.
I heard her growl knowing only vampires could here such a thing and my mouth dropped. What did I do to this girl for her to have so much dislike towards me. The familiar figure turned around and I noticed who it was. Alexander. Blonde (the name I came up for the girl vampire) went behind and wrapped her arms around his waist.
He smiled, and then she smiled. I saw her whisper something into his ear. I whispered something back and made a pouty face. I watched as her hands started to venture further down. I gagged and Brandon grip tightened on my arm. I turned around, trying to keep the bile back in my stomach…where it should be.
I heard Blonde laugh and ignored the fact Brandon was practically getting sweat all over my hands.
"Hey can I talk to you?"
As long as it doesn't consist of anything the last time you wanted to talk to me.
"Sure."
He took my wrist and dragged me to a near by empty table no one sat at because it was supposedly cursed. I laughed out loud. Humans can be so stupid I mean a haunted table? Pfft. Sad.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing, now what is it that you wanted to tell me?"
"Well have you seen the new girl? She's amazing" I smirked.
"And you're telling me this because…?" I asked, although I knew exactly where this was heading.
"Well as you can see she has attached her self to the other new kid and he is sort of a competition. Anyways I want you to be my girlfriend, for pretend of course but we are going to have to be pretty convincing."
I actually felt bad for him. As is if some vampire was going to bother herself with a human. Maybe for her own pleasures but it was really rare that a vampire fell in love with a human. Most of them hated humans while others loved them. I liked humans, they were so interesting. Sometimes I acted like a human myself.
"I see, and by pretty convincing you mean?" knowing exactly what he meant but it was funny to watch him say it out loud. He must oh knew that I knew what he meant because he just rolled his eyes playfully.
"Might I ask, why me?"
"Well you are pretty hot, probably the most in school…until Risa of course." I assumed Risa was Blonde but I liked my title better.
We both laughed and I slapped him a little harder then I meant for but he just laughed harder.
"May I?" he asked and held out if elbow.
"Why of course" and we linked arms.
We started back towards our table. I looked for Blonde and Alexander to find they were exactly where
they were before only sitting at a table. Blonde's back was faced towards me and Alexander was faced my way. I looked at my arks linked with Brandon's and made a face of disgust. He may be hot/beautiful/whatever but no one should judge anyone.
He was still looking at our linked arms and Blonde turned around to. She just rolled her eyes. I moved closer to Brandon hugging him putting my head on his shoulder. I looked at Alexander's reaction and he gagged in response. I snorted from trying to keep my laugh in. Of course -as if on que- the vice principle walks towards us...almost jogging. Her name was Ms. Ho. She had absolutely no life and planned on busting kids the rest of it. She looked down at the two of us and each gave us green slip. Great, detention.
After she left everyone at our table started to laugh and despite the fact I had to go to detention I laughed to. We pretty much spent the rest of the lunch period talking about who dated who. It was funny because Brian and Brandon were really the only two boys in the main group I hung out with and when they weren't doing whatever boys do, they are like total gossip girls.
Finally the bell rand and dismissed us to our next class. I had history next with I think it was kind of interesting. I was amongst the last to enter the class room. Sure enough Alexander, Blonde, and Brandon had my class. People were still taking seats and I took one in the very back. Brandon walked my way and threw his backpack on the floor next to mine, taking the seat in front of me. Blonde and Alexander was seated in the front but then Alexander got up abruptly and headed straight for the seat next to me. Blonde looked my way and shot daggers my way. I smiled sweetly at her. I ignored a majority of the boy and they'd given up eventually. A few boys glanced my way and stared….and stared. I raised an eyebrow and the immediately looked away.
"Why do you do that?" I heard someone ask and it took me a second to realize it was Alexander.
"Do what?" I asked.
"You chase away boys, why?"
And why are you asking me these questions…
"I don't chase them away" I said defensively. "If they were any good they would stay to begin with".
I muttered under my breath.
Blonde kept sending my daggers and I was getting annoyed. The second bell ran and we had a substitute. The poor woman was scared out of her mind, I mean who wouldn't be. This class was absolutely horrible if someone trained didn't know how to contain it. Our history teacher had years of practice but this woman didn't.
Through half of the period the woman gave up and pulled out a magazine and started reading it. I sighed and slumped back in my chair closing my eyes blocking out all the noise in the classroom. I took a deep breath and exhaled.
When I reopened my eyes Blonde was hovering over me. I frowned.
"Can I help you?" I asked patiently.
"My name is Risa, what's yours?" she held out her hand I looked at it suspiciously.
She glanced at Alexander and back tome, a smile on her face. I just stared at her hand; did she really expect me to take that?
"Cleo" I said returning the smile.
Brandon took her hand and shook it introducing himself. I had forgotten Brandon was even there. She snatched her hand back and stared at him like he committed the worst crime ever.
"How dare you touch me!" I almost laughed…almost. Almost because I saw Brandon turn a bright red and it looked like he was going to cry.
"I-I'm sorry" I heard Brandon mutter.
"Don't say sorry, you didn't do anything wrong" I told him.
I glared at Blonde who looked like an insane woman. I had realized I was standing up though I don't really remember getting up. She was so close her body almost touched mine. She leaned in to whisper something in my ear.
"You'll me the one sorry if you don't watch your mouth. You'll be lucky if I even spare that humans life for touching me without permission" she hissed into my ear. I shoved her back with my hand and she almost fell on her ass.
"Get off of me" I shoved her back with my hand and she almost fell on her ass.
Her face turned stone hard and I saw as she tried to control her anger.
"Cat fight, Cat fight, Cat fight!" I heard a bunch of immature boy whisper in union. If she were to do something stupid as to actually get in a fight with my I had no doubt tables would break and walls would crumble.
The substitute looked up form her magazine to see what all the commotion was about. Then everything got quiet. She decided it was nothing and returned to her magazine. Most of the boys slowly backed away and kept there distance for the rest of the period. Brandon had went to the bathroom, didn't come till the last few minutes of class we had left. He didn't even look at me when the bell rang but just walked out like he was n a hurry to get to CP (College Prep). I sighed and stuffed the only two notebooks I ever took to school in my backpack and slung it over my back. Just then I felt a hand grip my wrist. I snatched it away immediately and turned to glare at whoever would be so bold. It was Alexander. He looked slightly shocked but recovered in a matter of nanoseconds. I still glared ast him, not caring how gorgeous he was.
"Look Alexander-"
"Please call me Alex" I rolled my eyes annoyed.
"Alex-"
"You shouldn't have pushed her…for your own sake. She has a tendency for making people's lives she doesn't like miserable". And I could care less.
"Can you stop cutting me off, it's annoying and rude and I have to get to my next class so good bye".
I turned and left. Maybe every other girl would swoon over him or faint or would do anything to please
him but I am not every other girl.
I decided I didn't want to go to CP and went straight for my locker instead. I put in the combination and took out my PSP and iPod. I slumped onto the floor and put my hood and plugged in the earphones for my iPod Bleed it Out by Lincoln Park came on and I turned the volume p as loud as it got. I turned on my PSP and started playing God of War II. I passed the game about twice but it never really did get old for me. I was so concentrated on the game that I didn't notice when the bell rang and everyone rushed out of there classrooms. I got up and shoved everything it back pack and closing my locker.
I went to the entrance of the school were I met Vanessa, Kimberly and Caren. We walked to the library like always and hung out there. A lot of kids did and most of the time we played truth or dare. I would never turn down a dare, no matter how humiliating it might be. Although most of them weren't really all that humiliating. I realized Brandon wasn't there but Brian was, hanging out with a few of his other friends.
"So! Who wants to play truth or dare?" some kid named Aaron asked.
All me and my friends stepped up and so did about several others. In all there were a total of 15 kids in a huge circle.
"You guys realize once you play you agree to do whatever dare is given to you."
Five kids backed out and I snorted. Then two came up replacing them. It was Blonde and Alex. Oh no.
Some people looked astonished, others jealous and some excited.
"Oh my God he is so hot! Too bad that Barbie follow him everywhere like a lost puppy" Caren whispered in my ear.
"Hey, I thought you were spoken for" I told her.
I heard her mutter something along the lines of 'it doesn't hurt to look'
"So I'll ask the questions first" A girl said and chose someone at random to be asked truth or dare and it was Alex, ha this was going to be good.
"Truth or dare" the girl asked.
"Dare" Alex said, amusement on his face.
"I dare you to…take off your shirt and let every girl touch those lean muscles" she winked and I wanted to laugh so badly it hurt. He looked hesitant.
"If you can't do then you probably shouldn't have come" the girl said.
And I knew he was going to do it, questioning any male would really hurt the ego. If someone said 'I bet you can't jump out that 13 story window' surely enough the boy would do so and to prove himself he would even get a run start. Boys. He got up and took off his shirt and all the girls' gasped or just plain stopped breathing. His body was perfect and I almost stopped breathing myself. He turned to look at me and I snickered. Only two seconds passed my and I saw fear in his eyes. I noticed that ALL except for three that stayed loyal to their boyfriends, including Caren, the girls ran up to him, touching him. I bursted out laughing, I couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears came to my eyes and my side started to ache.
When everyone settled back down, it was Alex's turn to ask. I saw Blonde hold her nose up high as if she were sure he would pick her to do something, dirty most likely. He started to walk towards her and I saw other girls sigh in disappointment. Then he turned sharply when he was right in front of her walking in my direction. Blonde's mouth dropped to the floor. Everyone stared at him as he was standing right in front of me. I looked up since I was sitting down and he gloomed over me. Only then did I realize how tall he was. Feeling small I stood up to meet his gaze, he was a hold head taller than me. I pouted, why did I have to be so short, I stood at 5'6. It was a good height for humans but vampires? Not even.
"Cleo, Truth or Dare?"
I stood there for what seemed like hours while we had a little stare down. I never once in my life chose truth…ever and everyone here knew that but they watched. I heard a few people say 'omg she is going to pick truth' or 'she is definitely going to pick truth'. They were out of their mind if they think I was going to choose truth. I felt a evil smile make it's way across my lips.
"Dare".
Haha I don't even know what the dare will be yet, I have no clue why I ended it that way but im too lazy to do anything bout it. Thanksgiving tomorrow yay!
