If you Guys are confused here, here is a small summary on this chapter. Natalie and Alice are speaking in the room when Alice tells a flashback on why she was late to vampire sociology and this is why.
"ALICE?" DRAGON CALLS
"YES?" I ANSWER
"I'VE NOTICED THAT YOU'VE ONLY BEEN HERE FOR ABOOUT A WEEK AND YOU ACE THE FIRST EXAM ALREADY, VERY IMPRESSIVE." HE SAYS.
"WOW! THANK YOU! BUT I JUST GO FROM THE TEXT BOOK, I'VE NOTICED THE CHAPTER YOU GUYS WERE ON ABOUT THE HISTORY OF FENCING AND I TOOK OUT IMPORTANT NOTES FROM THAT CHAPTER AND STUDIED IT."
"VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE ALICE. THERE IS SOMETHING I WANTED TO ASK YOU THOUGH." HE ASKS
"YES?"
"COLT IS MY PRIZED THIRD FORMER FENCER, SINCE YOU ARE NEW AND VERY TALENTED WITH BOOKS, I WANT HIM TO TUTOR YOU ON THE PHYSICAL FENCING AND YOU TWO CAN EITHER HELP EACH OTHER OR HELP OTHERS WITH THE TEXTBOOK CHAPTERS." WHILE DRAGON WAS SAYING ALL OF THIS, COLT WAS JUST STARRING AT ME, SMILING LIKE HE WAS EXCITED FOR ALL OF THIS TO HAPPEN.
"WOW, THIS IS A TREMENDOUS OFFER. I'M NOT TOO SURE RIGHT NOW THOUGH, I'LL LET YOU KNOW BY TOMORROW AFTER CLASS."
I ANSWER.
"VERY WELL ALICE TELL ME BY TOMORROW AFTER CLASS. IF YOU TWO WILL EXCUSE ME..." DRAGON LEFT THE ROOM. LEAVING COLT AND I ALONE IN THE FENCING ROOM.
PACKING MY ROXY BACKPACK I GRAZE THE CORNER OF ONE OF CABINETS, ALSO NOT KNOWING THAT MY BAG WAS OPEN, I FALL TO THE GROUND AND EVERYTHING FALLS WITH ME.
COLT RUNS UP TO ME
"OH MY GODDESS ALICE ARE YOU OK?" HE SAYS HELPING ME PUT MY STUFF BACK INSIDE MY BACKPACK.
"YEA! IM FINE." I SAY IM A SMALL WHISPER.
"LET ME TAKE A LOOK AT THE ARM YOU SCRATCHED." HE SAID.
I SLOWLY GIVE HIM MY LEFT SHOULDER.
"OW" I HISS.
"I SHOULD TELL YOU, I INJURED MY ROTATOR CUFF A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, AT SWIMMING PRACTICE I DID TOO MUCH BUTTERFLY AND MY SHOULDER POPED SIDEWAYS. SO IT MIGHT HURT MORE THAN IT NEEDS TO." I EXPLAIN.
"IM GOING TO ROTATE YOUR SHOULDER TO GET INT TO BE MORE COMFORTABLE FOR YOU." HE SAYS, I NOD OK. HIS WARM HANDS GRAB MY SHOULDER AND ROTATES IT, WITH A SWIFT MOTION I FEEL COMFORTABLE ALREADY.
"UH-OH" COLT SAYS.
"WHAT IS IT?" I ASK.
"THE SRATCH IS BIGGER THAN I THOUGHT. YOU ARE BLEEDING... A LOT." SOUNDING CONCERNED HE LEAVES ME ON THE FLOOR TO GET SOMETHING FROM DRAGONS DESK. LEAVING ME ON THE FLOOR, I NOTICED THAT I DIDN'T EVEN FEEL MY SKIN IN PAIN.
"SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?" I WONDERED.
"IT MEANS THAT IF YOU DON'T GET THAT COVERED UP NOW, I AND OTHER GUYS WOULD PROBABLY WANT TO SUCK THE BLOOD." HE SAYS RUMMAGING THROUGH THE DRWERS OF THE DESK.
I GET A SHOCKED LOOK ON MY FACE. WAS COLT GOING TO SUCK MY BLOOD? WAS THAT A GOOD OR BAD THING? DOES THAT MEAN WE FORM A BOND OR SOMETHING?
HE QUICKLY RETURNS WITH A BIG BANDAGE AND SOME GAUGE. I COULD TELL HE WAS RESISTING VERY HARD SUCKING MY BLOOD. A PART OF ME WANTED HIM TO. JUST TO MAKE ALL THOSE OTHER GIRLS FEEL HEART BROKEN AND JEALOUS. ANOTHER PART OF ME DIDN'T WANT TO BECAUSE I KNOW I WOULD REGRET IT LATER.
HE GRABS MY ARM AGAIN AND IS RAPPING THE BANDAGE AROUND MY ARM, AND SLOWLY TO MY SHOULDER. THEN CAME THE GAUGE AS HE WAS RAPPING AROUND MY SHOULDER.
"WE SHOULD PROBABLY CONVER THIS UP EVEN MORE JUST SO WE CAN PREVENT SOME OF THE SCENT." HE LOOKS AT ME. WEARING A LOW CUT TANK TOP.
CRAP, HE PROBABLY THINKS I AM A SLUTT OR SOMETHING.
"HERE," HE GRABS MY HANDS AND HELPS ME TO MY FEET. STILL NOT USED TO MY BALANCE I STUMBLE BACK. COLT WAS ONE STEP AHEAD OF ME AND GRABS ONE ARM AROUND MY WAIST AND PULLS ME CLOSE.
ONE HAND INTERTWINED WITH HIS AND THE OTHER HAND ON HIS SHOULDER WHILE HIS HAND IS AROUND MY WAIST. I CLEAR MY THROAT.
"I SHOULD PROBABLY GET GOING." I SAY AS HE LETS GO.
I SLOWLY BEND DOWN TO PICK UP MY STUFF WHEN COLT GIVES ME HIS JACKET.
"TO COVER UP THE BANDAGE, WE DON'T WANT ANYONE SUCKING YOUR BLOOD ON YOUR FIRST WEEK." HE SAYS SMILING.
"THANKS." I RETURN. AND AS I WALK TOWARDS VAMPYRE SOCIOLOGY I HAVE MY BACKPACK ON MY RIGHT ARM AND IM RUNNING. RUNNING FROM THE PROBLEM THAT JUST OCCURRED. COLT AND I JUST HAD A MOMENT. A MOMENT OF GREATNESS AND ROMANCE.
DEAR GODDESS WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO.
