Chapter 19
Tate's POV
Everything in my life changed the minute the teachers discovered that I was beyond smart for my own good. I was reading giant books at the age of 2. I could do Algebra and get everything right by 3. No one knew why I was like this. I was in high school by 7, finish all four years by the time I was 8 and a half. I finished eight years in college in 2. I was done with school and college by the age of 11. I was different and I mean who has their doctors' degree by 11. Who does? Do you know anyone who does?
My parents found this school for special kids, sort of like me, but not. This school was called Evernight High. Little did I know that this school was full of super natural creatures, like werewolves, vampires, witches, and superhuman kids? I meet Kelsey Luck my first day. I meet KyleRae Tonkin my second day.
Flashback to his first day
I was so nervous to start this new school, for special kids. I'm 14 right now. There is so many kids here, but here I am at the front gate trying to force myself to go in. I just couldn't. There was this girl walking towards me, she has blond wavy hair, perfect blue eyes, and she was pretty cute. She was running now, really fast, really fast.
Suddenly she was in front of me, "Hi, my name is Kelsey Luck. I am here to show you around. Welcome to Evernight High." She smiled at me, and then she grabbed my hand and pulled me away from the gate. I smiled, she got me to leave the gate, I thought I would never leave that spot.
"So you know what this school is, right?" She suddenly stopped smiling and stared at me with all seriousness, I finally said, "Yay, a place for special kids, like me." She shook her head and said, "Nope, this school is full of vampires, werewolves, witches, and super humans, like you." She had to me playing me, she just had to. "I'm a werewolf, in a pack. You probably don't believe me, but it's true. I know you are like, she is crazy, but I can prove it."
She closed her eyes and suddenly in a flash of smoke, there was a wolf at my feet. Kelsey was gone; she is a freaking wolf. I was shaking my head, not believing my eyes. I closed my eyes and when I opened them, she was standing in front of me, just normal Kelsey. "I saw how freaked you were, so I changed back." I nodded and sat down on the nearest bench.
"So the whole school is like this," she nodded and I took a deep breath. She swallowed and looked deep into my eyes. "Everyone in this school is different, there is 7 members in my pack." She said smiling. "So you like alpha or something?" I ask questionally. She must be, just look at her, she screams leader. She shook her head and said, "No, KyleRae Tonkin is alpha, I'm second in command. We have Justena Angel, Vivian Blue, Jacob Red, Travis Tonkin, and Cleo Harpe. Travis is like KyleRae's boyfriend, but they have the same last name, and they say they are 'just friends,' if you know what I mean." She smiled, a lot of names to remember.
"You'll meet them all tomorrow. Today, I get to take you to your apartment." She grabbed my wrist and dragged me up three flight of stairs. My room number was 67A. "So here you are. I'll meet you here tomorrow at 6am, to meet everyone. Bye." She smiled then turned and walked away.
Flashback over
I remember that first week there at Evernight High so good, that it isn't even funny. I shook my head. I just needed to stop thinking, but then I finished my memory.
Flashback again =)
I woke at 5:45am. I got up and changed, brushed my teeth, and walked out my door. Kelsey was already outside my door. She smiled, "Breakfest is ready downstairs." I looked at her like she was crazy. "Breakfest at 6am, are you all crazy?" She nodded. We walked down to the breakfest room. She walked us over to this 8 chaired table. There was 4 girls siting there and two boys. Kelsey took her set and told me to sit down next to her.
This girl was sitting accross from me, just staring with the devil eye. She had brown hair, hazel eyes, and she was pretty cute. She had her hair down, with a gold star on a chain hanging from her neck. I smiled at her, she leaned up in her chair and said, "You must be Tate Grant, super smart human? I'm KyleRae Tonkin, the pack leader." She smiled when she said the last part, about her being leader.
Kelsey said, "Let me introduce you to everyone, it is the first day of school and everything. So this is Vivian Blue and Justena Angel, they are like twins." I looked over at them, Vivian looked native, she had brown hair, and was wearinga sweet shirt so I couldn't see anymore. Justena was tiny, she had dirty blond hair that was curly and really cute eyes. I smiled at them. They smiled back. "This is Jacob Red, he is on the football team." I looked over, he had brown hair that come down to his forehead, his brown eyes matched the rest of his body. I smiled and again he returned it. "This is Travis Tonkin, he is quarterback of the football team and KyleRae's boyfriend." Travis quickly said, "I'm not her boyfriend, I would not go out with the devil." KyleRae smiled, she had a cute smile, it brought her eyes out. "I'm not that bad, Trav." She moved over and kissed him on the cheek, he smiled and sat all the way back in his chair, putting his arm around the back of KyleRae's chair.
"So with the devil as Trav calls her, she is alpha and head cheerleader. The most popular girl in school, just watch out for Sierra Frankly, she wants KyleRae's crown." KyleRae's face looked angered, as she said, "She never will, one day she is going to pay for what she did to Justena on her first day. You aren't mean to one of my pack members and get away with it." She smiled.
Flashback over again =)
I saw KyleRae being the problem, not Sierra. But as I spent more time with her, Sierra was the one that was a bitch. Everyone hated her, but some were scared of her. I was scared at her at first, but than I saw KyleRae and Sierra got in a fight, I wasn't scared anymore. By the way, KyleRae won. I guess this school does change people. Just not people in that pack. I could see that Kelsey hated being second, I wasn't sure if Kelsey wanted to be alpha of if she wanted to be free for the pack respect. The pack bond that everyone in that pack is connected to. I guess I'll find out later.
Jacob's POV
It's the second week in school and KyleRae, Sierra, Kelsey, Tate, and Phillip were all still a noshow. Travis was going out of his mind when KyleRae wasn't here the first day of school, he is a wreck. Trav and I share an apartment, so I should know. KyleRae is like his girlfriend, but what really got them in a fight was that when KyleRae said that she was seeing someone outside of Evernight High. Travis was so pissed, and I got to see that whole thing.
Flashback
KyleRae knocked on the door, asked to see Travis. "Hey, Jake. Is Trav home?" I nodded and she walked in. She was wearing a black lacy tanktop and white skinny jeans with black leather boots over them, coming up to her knee. She had Travis's black leather coat on. I gestered to his room, she walked over and knocked, "Trav open the door, its me." Travis opened the door and said, "Where have you been all day, you know that we have movie night every tuesday and you've been cancelling for the last three weeks, and your never here on thursdays either. What the hell is up?" He pulled her for a hug, she hugged back. They were so cute together.
"Travis, I have to tell you something." She pulled away and sat down on the couch. He walked over and sat down next to her. She looked like she had tears in her eyes. "I have been seeing someone outside of Evernight, I see him on tuesdays and thursdays." I saw Travis's face fill with anger. He thought that they had something. He got up and paced. "Damn you. What the fuck? Am I not good enough for you or what, honey." He shook his head, I saw a tear run down her cheek.
"Trav its not that and you know that. I really like you, but we cant be together. It just wouldn't work. You are not what I want. I like Shay, he is nice and he is cute..." Travis cut her off, "No, KyleRae, that just isn't good enough and you know it. What more do I have to do to make you see that I love you, little devil, I love you. I have never wanted you like this, but last year when we got lost in the woods, you were so amazing. I was freezing and you asked me if I trusted you. I said yes, you turned me right there. You said your life wouldn't be the same without me in it. We are practically a couple, we madeout a lot, you've slept with me." She was starting to cry.
"I'm so sorry Trav, I don't love you. I have to go." She ran out of the door, crying. I've never seen her cry before. I looked at Travis, "What are you doing?" He shook his head and walked to his room.
Flashback end
I missed KyleRae, she was always there to light up your day, always. Travis was a mess without her. He loved her, and she does love him, even if she won't admit it. I missed Tate, he could always get though to Travis. Damn, I'd do anything to get them here.
KyleRae's POV
I never felt this much pain before, never. My heart was literally breaking in two. It hurt so much, I was screaming at the top of my lungs. I could see the hurt in Shay's eyes. After 6 minutes of me screaming and Sierra laughing and Phillip looking disgusted. Shay finally pulled it out, that hurt too. I stopped screaming but I was breathing really heavy, like heavy. I could see sadness in his eyes as he set the salt knife down. It hurt me, but not like it hurt when I last talked to Travis, I miss him, but I told him that I didn't love him, but I do. I like Shay, a lot. But Travis, I'm in love with. Shay is my boyfriend. Travis is my love. 'Ummm, shouldn't we like focus at the topic at hand.' Oh, yay! That, Sierra trying to kill me.
"Shay, that was very good," she smiled as she walked up to him, and kissed him; on the lips. He didn't have time to react because it was quick. She knew it would hurt me, but not as much as if Travis was kissing her. I wanted to go in the darkness more than anything. "Sierra you know what really hurts, is when you stab me in the heart with the silver knife. I hate that." She smiled and looked at Shay then at Phillip. "Okay, if that is what you want." She quickly plunged the knife into my chest.
Darkness was way better then being there with Shay and Sierra. Hey they have the same beginning letter, how cute. This flashback was more like me reliving it.
"You know when I first meet you. I never thought that I'd be on the couch making out with you for the past three hours." Travis said pulling away from me, but for only a second. I smiled, I like kissing Travis, he is a good kisser. But I couldn't let this go to far. "You like kissing me?" I asked him smiling.
"You know I do, I just never imagined me with you." He bent back down, starting kissing me again. I liked him. He was getting ruffer, but I didn't care, everything he did, I matched. He grabbed the end of my shirt, pushing his hand up my side, landing on the side of my breast. When he touched me, he sent sparks all over my body. He teased me, lifting my bra up then putting it down. He finally just pulled off my low cut purple top. I didn't stop him, even if I wanted to.
Eve: What your going to leave it like that? Me: Yay, trust me, you'll want to wait. Michael: Am I in the next chapter. Me: Yes. Claire: Okay, bye. Disclaimer we dont own the Morganville Vampires, Rachel Caine does.
