Chapter 3:
"who are you?" I asked the figure that was standing in the shadow's, as I stood up ; I was wearing panda PJ's (seriously, with the hood and everything).
"you don't even recognise your own cousin" said Jacob, my older cousin, as he walked into the light. "don't just come in on your own will like that! and I thought I locked all the doors and windows ?" I replied, smacking him across the arm.
"I have my ways of getting into someone's house" he said with a smirk and I gave him a 'I can't believe we are related' looks. "well, what are you waiting for get dressed" he continued, ignoring my stare.
"what for?" I asked, surly knowing what was coming.
My cousin Jacob is a tall well built boy who is one year older than me. He's one of the owner's of one out of seven of the biggest gang's in Coldwater. Jacob and his younger sister Suzu are both over protective of me, even though they are both still living with my most hated arch enemy (even worse than Marcie Miller). I worry more about them.
"you haven't forgotten have you?" he asked, in a more like statement way though. "it's Suzu's birthday and we left you a message saying to be ready by nine o'clock" he explained, with a impatient tone in his voice.
"I never got no message-!" I said ; being cut off by my impatient cousin picking me up over his shoulder. "let go!" I yelled, as we started heading up the stair's.
"get dressed, now" he said as he dumped me down in front of my wardrobe. Then he walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him.
"ok, let's just through tonight without anyone ending up in a fight" I sighed, opening up my wardrobe to look at it's contents.
- 10 minutes later -
Walking down the stairs, I could hear Jacob's footsteps coming towards the bottom of the unlit wooden step.
"took your time" he said, watching me come to the bottom of the stair's.
I was in a black long sleeved dress with black rose embroidery, thigh black sock's and clunky black school girl shoe's. My make up matched; mascara, thin eyeliner, pale foundation and lip gloss. Not that I was hoping to get hit on tonight.
"well, if I didn't show up with the look that showed I made a effort she'll probably take me into the bathroom's and do something to make me look better" I explained as I reached the bottom of the stairs.
"true, so anyway get everything you need" he replied, looking behind me to the upstairs landing.
"ok" I said, then I walked over and grabbed my black handbag with the spaghetti string handle; inside there was my key's, mobile phone, lip gloss, pack of tissues and compact mirror/brush.
"right let's go" I said ,walking over to the front door. "let's" he replied, following me out the door.
"you rode your motorbike instead of driving your car?" I asked, staring at the red, grand prix like bike. "yeah well, it's a party so we'll arrive there in style" he chuckled mounting the bike to get it started up. "it's just Bo's arcade, it's not like it's a movie premiere or something" I mummered as I got on the back of the bike.
"and we're off!" Jacob cheered, as we sped at about 90 mph down the long stretch of road.
"Hey guys" Suzu called, as their eye's followed her as she walked over to one of the booth's by a pool table.
"will you just sit down and relax she'll be here" she said to a dirty blond boy a year younger than her.
"hopefully, I haven't seen my older sister since new year's last year" the boy said, pacing backwards and forwards by the booth.
"Hey Caylim, she'll come I know Jacob wouldn't come back here without her" she replied, grabbing him by the shoulder's and forcing him to sit down.
"hey, where's the party at" yelled Pete, one of Jacob's gang members. He walked over to the booth with confidence, followed by another three member's Jack, Razor (nickname) and Louie.
"where's Jake?" Razor asked in a deep, gruff voice, sounding like he was just choked.
"gone to pick up my adorable cousin, you guys know her , Nora? remember?" Suzu replied with a ending questioning tone.
"oh, the quiet yet strong one who you and Jake are so obsessed with protecting?" grinned Jack, as he wrapped his arms around Suzu and gave her a kiss.
"yes, her and i would hope you guys would help protect her too" she responded with a seductive yet frightening tone.
"oh, geez" Pete sighed and walked off to hit on a girl at the bar.
"oh geez, stop the romantic crap in public, lil' sis" Jacob moaned as me and him crossed the room to the gathering of people.
"hey, Caylim long time no see" i said, walking straight into a hug from my deranged younger brother.
"i missed you" he said in my ear that obviously no one else could hear over the cheering and singing.
"i need to breathe Caylim" i said, kinda embarressed as he let go of me and mouthed sorry.
"hey, how about we hook you up with someone Nora" Suzu suggested with a evil smirk on her face.
"no thanks, with the guy's you know i will end up being a drunk tatoo artist" i replied, as someone walking across the room caught my eye.
"oh, not this guy again" growled Razor, watching the mysterious guy, as he sent us a smirk.
"what did he do to you?" i asked continuing to watch him as his smirk directed at me.
"he started a fight with Razor here, just over the stake's of a game" Jack laughed, giving Razor's shoulder a friendly slap.
"oh ok" i said, nodding to Louie. Louie is very quiet the main noise you here out of him is a growl, a howl or any other noise that you can expect to hear from an animal.
"have you seen him before?" asked Suzu, keeping her eye's on the boy and slung her srm across my shoulders.
"no, i don't think so, why?" i replied, giving her a curious look.
"he hasn't stopped looking at you since he walked in" she said, looking at Jacob, then me, then back at the boy.
"i think i'm ready to thow a punch!" Razor growled after Jacob whispered something too quiet for me to hear; into his ear.
"no, i think we should move the party to somewhere else like my place or something, Luke left a load of beers in the fridge before he went out of town" i suggested, hoping Razor won't start a fight.
"yeah let's do that big bro is the best" Caylim backing up my wish not to have a fight.
"alright then!" Jack yelled, pushing Razor out of his firm stance.
"fine" he growled and we all walked to the exit of Ozz's pool hall.
Just before following everyone up the stairs, i took a glance back at the boy who was still staring at me with that dark smirk on his face. it made me want to slap him until he lost that cockiness.
As soon as we got in the quiet house was filled with the loud sound of 'Black Veil Brides - Perfect Weapon', and Razor, Jack and Jacob dug out every bottle and can of booze in the house (that they can find).
"Hey, i think we left Pete behind" Suzu yelled over the music.
"he's gonna be pissed!" replied Razor equally as loud, as he roared with laughter that made the whole house shake.
The rest of the night went in a blur and soon enough it was morning and we had school in an hour.
"hey, everyone get up it's time for school" yelled , waking everyone up and receiving groans and aggitated moans.
After alot of arguing all of us set off for school after getting cleaned up and fed.
The day went like time was in the grand prix and was going for the win. it was time for Biology.
"you owe me beauty sleep" Suzu said in a dark tone.
"sorry, but that's what you get for getting us all drunk last night" i replied with a smile and took my seat next to Vee.
"god, what did you guys do last night?" she asked, looking surprised we weren't dead.
Vee and me sat together by the door at the front and Suzu and Jack right behind us, i didn't even notice Jack was there. It must've been because he had his head down on the table and was sleeping soundly.
"party, it was Suzu's birthday and it got out of control" i explained in a bored/ tired tone as Coach McConaughy walked into the room.
"right class, we are doing a new assaingment, umm, Nora" he said as he scanned the class.
"yes sir" i replied still in my tired tone.
"how long have you known Ms. Sky here?" he asked, standing right in front of me.
"since 6th grade, sir" i replied as Vee nudged my knee, clearly this was turning out to be really bad.
"and you two are like sisters, so you know everything about each other, am i right?" i continued, with a pround smile on his face.
"i guess" i replied, looking back at Suzu who was holding back laughter.
"well, our assainment is to get to know other classmates like you know ms. Sky so everyone on the right move one desk back" i said, doing little movements as he spoke.
"bye" Vee said, amiling as she moved back and sat next to Suzu.
"nah uh ms. Sky and Jamie switch places" he said after veiwing the room.
while little adjustments to the seating was being made a biology book thumped down on the space next to me.
Looking up i saw that it was the boy from the night before and he still had that smirk on his face and his dark unemotional eye's were fixed on mine.
