Chapter 6

The day seemed to drag on before Trig. In my first class, the teacher had us pair up to act out a skit from our textbooks. Of course, all of the guys wanted to be my partner. I told them all no, but Jeffery Newton decided to ignore my request and be my partner anyway. Why was he so clingy?

The next three classes weren't as bad. They were just boring lectures that seemed even longer than they normally do. Finally, it was time for Trig. Even though I didn't sit next to Josh, it was nice to see him. When Trig was over, we went to Biology and waited for Mr. Banner to come in.

"So…I think we should discuss…this whole situation at lunch." I stated.

"I think that would be best. It's not something that can just be ignored."

We were silent until Mr. Banner walked in with the TV cart, meaning we would watch a movie. A boring movie, but a movie none the less. He turned off the lights and started the movie, and everyone was silent.

My attention was on the movie. I heard some people whispering behind us, but Mr. Banner didn't catch them. Continuing to pay attention to the movie, I felt a notebook pushed up against my elbow.

I looked down at it and saw that it had something written.

'So…you're part-vampire?'

Laughing quietly, I wrote my response.

'Yes…I can give you all the details later.' I then pushed the notebook back to Josh and noticed he was writing something else. He pushed the notebook back at me.

'Why not now?'

'Because we're supposed to be watching this boring movie.'

'We're SUPPOSED to watch it. That doesn't mean we have to.'

'True, but I think it'd still be nice to pay attention.'

'I guess…I like hearing your voice anyway.'

This took me by surprise. He liked the sound of my voice?

'Thank you. I like hearing yours too. Now be a good boy and pay attention. '

He shoved the notebook into his backpack and finally started to pay attention. I liked Josh more and more every minute.

Finally, the movie ended and we were all released to lunch. As me and Josh walked to the cafeteria, everyone asked me to sit next to them at lunch, and I simply declined. It was a normal routine, but I normally didn't have an audience.

We got out lunch and sat down at a table…but then I spoke up.

"I think it'd be best if we didn't discuss this here." He nodded and then we got up again and went out to the tree we had spoken by earlier.

"So," Josh said, "do you always decline their invitations for lunch together?"

"Yes. You'd think they'd stop asking by now." I shook my milk carton, opened it and started to drink it.

"Okay. So about this whole situation," I began, "What would you like to know?"

"Well…I'd like to know what makes you…part-vampire."

I chuckled and took a bite of my apple.

"Well…my father, my aunts and uncles and my grandparents are vampires. My mother was a human when they…well…"

"I get it," he said, laughing. "Continue."

I was amazed that he took this so coolly, let alone the fact that I was telling him. But there was something about him that told me I could trust him.

"And that's where the vampire comes from."

"But what makes you a vampire? My father said once that they had golden eyes, but you have green eyes."

"Exactly. I'm only part-vampire. I sleep, I eat, I have normal colored eyes. I do have pale skin and I can run at an incredibly fast speed. I also have incredible strength and I've been cursed with the looks of a goddess."

Josh started to laugh.

"Why do you consider it a curse?"

"Have you seen the guys around here? They only want me to hang out with them because I'm pretty and it'll make them a bit more pop-"

"I think 'pretty' is an understatement."

Wow. That was the most flattering thing I had heard in a while.

"Well, thank you. But if 'pretty' is an understatement…" I paused to scoot a bit closer to him. "What do you think the proper term would be?"

He didn't speak for a moment. He wanted to think of the proper term, without insulting me. It was so cute how conscious he was of me!

"Beautiful, gorgeous, radiant, lovely…" He paused and looked into my eyes. "…and enchanting."

I was truly speechless now. I didn't know what to say. Tears began to swell in my eyes…I had never heard anyone use words like that to describe my beauty. I lifted up my hand and started to run my fingers through his hair, and then I scooted closer to him. Our legs were now touching.

"Josh…" I took my hand back. "That was…the greatest thing anyone has ever said to me."

Josh smiled shyly.

"Do you mind if…we try something?" I asked him quietly. I wasn't sure what he would think of me if I did this…

"No, I don't mind."

I held his face in my hands, closed my eyes, and leaned in slowly…

"ELIZABETH! Gym's starting soon! You're going to be late!"

I pulled back and sighed, turning around to see who was yelling at me. Who else, but stupid-ass Newton.

"Okay, we'll be there soon!" I shouted back, and then he ran off.

Josh grabbed his plate and stood up, holding his hand out for me. I took it, and stood up, grabbing my plate as well. We then walked to the nearest place to throw our trash away.

"I'm sorry about that, Josh. I couldn't control myself…and then Newton had to…ruin it…"

"Don't apologize, Liz."

And then he took my face in his hands and our lips touched.
