"Stay away from her" I heard Alex whisper into Blake's ear death seeping into every word and Blake of course, just smiled.
People were starting to stare and I really didn't want gossip going around that I was hooking up with Blake. Alex grabbed my wrist and started dragged me back down to the main hall where thankfully no one witnessed the little incident.
"What were you thinking?"
"It's not my fault…" it really wasn't. I wouldn't have closed my eyes if I knew he was going to kiss me! Plus…I don't see why it matters to Alex anyway. I didn't get all pisses when girls where slobbering all over him.
"How is it not our fault?"
"I-just…I don't have to explain myself to you. You're not my dad or my mom. You don't see me dragging you away from every girl that comes up to you. You don't see me trying to make your decisions for you when you're capable of making them yourself. You don't see me trying to boss you around, so why are doing it to me?" I noticed how many You's I used and not I's. In health class they always talked to me I statement means you're not accusing the person or something like that. But then that was my very intention.
"Right, so when you don't get your way you go off kissing people? I wonder what would happen if you really got pissed, would you go sleep with some boy that you've only known for 5 minutes."
My blood was boiling and I felt anger rising ready to explode. It looked like he regretted it as soon as he said it but that doesn't matter. He shouldn't have said anything to begin with. I didn't even kiss him back he just randomly kissed me. It's not like I actually felt something for him. Sure Blake was hot but I wouldn't kiss him. Look, I'm making excuses for myself when I'm guilt of nothing. I turned and started to walk away.
"I'm sorry…where are you going?" he said, I looked him in the eye.
"To meet some guy and sleep him with him after the 5 minute mark." I retorted, and his eyes widened. He actually believes I'd do that.
No way would I ever give up my virginity to some guy I have only known for 5 minutes. Only a hoe would do such a thing and I was far from that. He was following me and didn't even try to hide it either. Just followed without saying a word. I turned around.
"Why are you following me?"
"To make sure you don't sleep with someone you've only known for five minutes" he looked dead serious and I would have laughed had I not been so angry.
"Well I can't do that when you're following me, your scaring away all the cute guys" which in a sense was true.
"Good" he said and I almost felt like slapping him. Sure it felt kind of nice that he didn't like the fact the kissed his brother but then girls were all over him and you don't hear me complaining. I asked the question that was bugging me the most.
"Why, do you even care? Don't you have women to tend to. I men they would be more than happy to get you in bed. I wouldn't be surprised if half of them already did. There all tramps…" I said the last part pretty low, hoping no one would hear me. Of course a few boys did and they looked up to see who it was, they smiled and I rolled my eyes. I continued.
"Well if you can't give me an answer, then I will be off to sleep with some kid I have barely met."
I looked at him and he seemed to have a pained look in his eyes, but hat he told me wasn't exactly nice either. I left and this time he didn't follow me. I didn't even know where I was walking to, just making random turns here and there. The first floor was pretty huge. Then there was a tap on my shoulder and I expected it to be Alex so I turned sharply glaring at a totally different figure. It was a boy with Hazel eyes and blond hair and he was just the slightest shorter then Alex, which is still pretty tall.
"Yes?" I said sweetly.
"You new here?" he asked.
"Yea actually I am but I already got the tour so I'm good."
"I see, so what did you do to end up here? Murder someone?" he laughed but I stayed quiet.
That is exactly why I left even though I didn't really kill anybody, I was just framed. He looked at me when I wasn't laughing.
"Ok so maybe you did…no worries I won't judge you."
"I didn't kill anyone, but if you keep talking I might be very tempted to."
He laughed and I let myself smile. I had to give myself some props for that one.
"So what's up with you and Alexander, he seems very protective over you."
"I know, it annoying. We've barely known each other for like a week or something and he's acting like my father. I mean I don't drag him away from every girl that kisses him" I said getting slightly angry again.
"He did that? Wow, he never acts like that with a girl. Actually anyone that dates him usually doesn't last that long, he uses them for sexual needs and tosses them aside keeps them for about 3 weeks." My mouth dropped…it's been doing that more often then I wanted.
I was disgusted, what a man whore! And to think I wanted him to be mine! Ugh!
"That is horrible, no wonder girl around here is a whore! I feel like I'm the only one with sense. goodness."
"Hey, I happen to have girlfriend" he said mockingly hurt.
"And how long ago did you dump your last girlfriend?" I said knowing, guessing it would been around a day into 2 weeks, probably getting ready to dump the former one.
"About a week ago" he said not really caring.
"Exactly, you're no better so I don't know why you gossiping"
"I'm not gossiping, I'm just warning you incase you plan on getting involved with him…whats your name anyway?"
"Cleo, yours?"
"I can't tell you that."
"What? Why! I told you my name."
"You can call me Nate just like everyone else."
"You have people call you Nate when that's not your real name? How weird."
"Hey look, here comes my girlfriend now" I looked at her.
She was wearing a shirt that could have been a bra and a skirt that was just as short as the ones the other vampire girls were wearing at the club. I looked down at what I was wearing. Jean shorts that were mid thigh and a long sleeved V neck black shirt. It was V neck but revealed nothing. She started walking my way and glared at me, it reminded me of Blonde.
"Hey" he said when she finally approached.
"Hey…who's this?" she asked wrapping her arm around his waist. I rolled my eyes.
"Oh, this is the girl I plan on dating once I've dumped you" now her mouth dropped, but I knew he was lying just to get some fun out of it. I glared at him in response.
Now the girl was walking up to me her finger pointed in my face…I hated when people invaded my personal space.
"Get your finger out of my face" and she did just that. "Even if he were to dump you for me, I would reject him on the spot"
"Ouch" Nate said in the background.
The girl just went back to Nate side attached like glue. He tried to pry himself free without trying to make it noticeable but she wouldn't let go. Then he just plain told her to get off him. She looked hurt, then angry and stalked off.
"See, why do you treat you girlfriends like that?" I asked once she was out of earshot.
"Because she might get to attached. Nobody is going to tie me down, ever." I rolled my eyes, yet again.
"Karma always comes back to bite you in the ass" I told him.
"You know what Cleo, I like you. I think we can even be friends."
"Aww I feel so loved. You're the second person who has told me that today. Seriously though…if guys treated their girlfriends better they probably wouldn't be so clingy. Probably think your sleeping with some other woman, which I'm assuming most guys are."
"Wow, you have one smart mouth on you."
"I've heard worse." He raised an eyebrow.
"So what's you specialty?" he asked.
"I'm not telling you."
"Why?"
"Because, I told you my name and you didn't tell me yours. You're going to have to spill first if you want any answer from me."
"Hmm you have brains also…Well I guess I'll tell you mine, I can walk amongst the shadows, people also call us Shadow Dwellers."
"Oh, Blake told me about that earlier today."
"So what's yours?" he asked.
"Pssh, I'm not telling you."
"Fine, want me to introduce you to some of my friends?"
"Sure why not." I said.
We started walking towards the main hall and passed it going the opposite way we came from. We stopped at a table were two girls were on one guy touching him all over while he his hand was under one of the girls shirts and two other guys were talking and one other girl who was drawing, she looked pretty decent…but then looks could be deceiving.
"Hey guys meet Cleo." He said and everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me. I suddenly wished I would have just wore long jeans because the way they were staring at me made me uncomfortable. The guy that was being touched all over got up and held his hand to me.
"I'm Andrew" he said, a huge grin on his face.
"Cleo." I said and nodded. If he thought I was going to take that hand we was out of his damn mind. He let it drop and sat back down still staring at me.
The other two guys were Aaron and Rome. The girls didn't even bother to introduce themselves but just looked at me and screwed up their faces. Then the girl smiled and held her hand out and I took it.
"I'm Sabrina" she said I nodded. So maybe everyone here wasn't whores, but then I barely know her, maybe I would find out soon.
"Why didn't you shake my hand?" he asked stupidly.
"Because she wasn't blind now and she still isn't. She -for some change- actually had common sense." Rome said. I smiled at him and he winked back, but it was friendly.
"Well… it was nice meeting you guys."
"Your leaving?" Sabrina's head shot up and it looked like she was pleading.
"No I guess not" I sat awkwardly next to Sabrina and she closed her sketch pad immediately.
"So you draw? I draw to but haven't had time in the past few weeks." She looked up at my surprised but just nodded.
"Can I see some of you drawings?" I asked.
She looked hesitant but eventually let me look through them. There different kind everywhere and the all looked wonderful. There was one of a wolf and I liked that one the best.
"Wow you really good." I complemented.
"Thanks" she murmured and I decided not to press my luck.
Then Rome started talking to me and he seemed like a pretty nice guy.
"So what can you do? I can move things around without touching them so I guess I'm telepathic."
"Well if I tell you, you cant tell Nate because he didn't tell me his name so I'm not going to tell him what I can do… I can make illusions."
Rome stiffened and looked at Aaron who snapped his head towards me not happy.
Then he lunged for me.
Oooh I wonder why.
