When Zoey ran out of the room I knew I was a jerk. "Stay here," I told Erik as I ran after Zoey. "Zoey…Zoey," I said catching up to her. "Come on I need to talk to you." I didn't mean to hurt her feelings when I said that to Erik. I just wanted him to stop worrying about Miles.

She stopped and turned to me. "No need, you and your boyfriend think I'm a whore that goes around breaking hearts. I just love to make guys fall in love with me and then cheating on them. It's my favorite pass time," she said making me smile. I didn't know Zoey had that much fight in her. "Is this a joke to you?" she asked me.

"Z, you're my friend and I never should've said those things. I just don't know what to do with Erik. He really loved you, and what you did destroyed him,"-

"I'm so sorry for that and I wish things went better," she said. I sure was glad that she and Erik were no longer together that would make being me a lot harder, and our relationship a bit awkward.

"I know that, but things are the way they are," I said hugging her. "I'm really sorry for that, and I didn't mean that you did anything wrong. What Loren and Neferet did to you and Erik was horrible. I should have never brought it up," I smiled at her.

"It's okay," she smiled back at me.

"Is everything okay?" Erik asked coming from around the corner.

"Were you eavesdropping on us," I tsked him.

"I just wanted a front row seat for the cat fight," he said smiling at us.

"We're good," Zoey said.

"I'm glad," Erik said giving her a hug. "I'm sorry that happened."

"It's fine," she said squeezing him tightly. I could see she was enjoying the hug which was going on a little too long.

"Zo, I have big news for you," I said stealing her from Erik.

"Really like what?" she asked. I lifted my hand and showed her the ring. "You're not getting married?" she asked.

"Yes we are," Erik smiled as he hugged my shoulders.

"I-I don't know what to say. Aphrodite is going to flip," She laughed halfheartedly. Something in Zoey changed. She was hiding something, and all the curiosity in me was at a standstill. I didn't want to know what she was trying to hide, because I was sure it had to do with Erik.

*********************************************Neferet***************************************************

I have been trying to get Roxanne away from Zoey and her friends for weeks, and there was the solution kicking me in the face. All I had to do was make Roxanne think Zoey was after Erik. Roxanne would want to do whatever it took to make Zoey pay, and I wouldn't have to work as hard.

"Beverly I need you to stay with Zoey and Roxanne as much as you can. I want you to convince Zoey she has feelings for Erik, and I want you to make sure Roxanne notices," I said looking over the young vampire. She was pretty powerful and very ambitious. She was the only minion I could really count on, well there was Thanatos, but no one could know we conspire against the council together.

"Very well your highness," she said putting her fist over her heart and bowing to me.

"Beverly," I said causing her to turn.

"Yes your highness."

"Make sure Aurox comes no were near the school," I ordered.

"Sure."

Erik talked me into doing the role on Nyx in the play, and every day in class Becca and her friends had nothing but horrible things to say about me. I hated that they assumed I was getting special treatment from Erik. I wasn't he and Damien gave me the part because I did the best job.

*****************************************Roxanne***********************************************

"Hey you ready to go?" I asked Erik. He was looking at the play back from yesterday's rehearsal for the millionth time today. "You do realize there are more TV's then the one in your office," I sighed.

"I'm coming," he said gathering his things. "You're so bosses," he teased coming over to hold me.

"Only cause I love you," I said kissing him as the rest of the gang caught up too us.

"You two should stop," Aphrodite said. She was mad at me about the whole engagement thing. I knew it was because she cared, but I wasn't going to change my mind.

"It was only a matter of time before she turned into one of them," Becca said walking past me. My first instant was to grab her by the neck and confront her, but I wasn't going to.

"What are you talking about you twat?" Aphrodite asked her.

"You turned Roxanne into another you," she smiled.

"Um, I'm right here Ms. Samuels if there is something you'd like to say," I said daring her to utter one word in my direction.

"You're just like Aphrodite and Zoey hoeing from one guy to the next. And you're first stop is Erik, same as usually. You guys can't even switch up the game plan"-

"You litt-" Stevie Rae started but I silenced her.

"Number one, you will refer to me as Professor Monet and to him as Professor Night at all times. Second of all you are a student and when and if you make it through the change should you be concerned about others relations. You know what never should you stick your nose where it doesn't belong," I leaned in and whispered in her ear, "you wouldn't want it to get cut off," I said standing straight and smiling an icy smile. "Apologize to Zoey and Aphrodite right now," I demanded.

"I'm sorry," she sneered at them making Aphrodite laugh.

"Now you and your friends are going to write a 5,000 word essay on the important of minding your own damn business and I want it on my desk by tomorrow. Until then all three of you are cut from the play," I smiled.

"What?" one of her friends yelled.

"Until. I. Get. My. Paper. You. Guys. Are. Out. Of. The. Play," I said dumbing it down for them. "Is that understood?"

"Yes," they said together.

"Yes who?" I asked.

"Yes Professor Monet," they chorused.

"Leave now!" I yelled and they went on their way down the hall. "Damn I just scared the shit out of them that was so bad ass. I want to mess with someone else. Being a hard ass is great. No wonder why Professor Snape enjoyed it," I said ruining my badass image in one statement.

"You're such a nerd," Erik laughed at me. "You do realize you've cut my short cast play even shorter right?"

"They'll do the paper," I smiled at him.

"You were pretty cool until that Harry Potter thing," Stark said.

"Harry is so bad ass," I said making everyone laugh. "Truth is truth," I said holding onto Erik as we left to go my place for dinner.
