"The Rainbow Factory. I hate that hippie junk this is going to be the worst school play ever" Erica said, being her usual bitter self.
"Right, so then why are you signing up for it?" I asked with raised eyebrows.
"It's on my bucket list" she shrugged.
"Why do you have a bucket list? You'll never kick the bucket" Sarah pointed out.
"It's a long list and item 12 says 'Star in a school play' so I can ram it in the face of that pint size drama queen Sunday Clovers" Erica sang, putting on an Australian accent at the end.
"You make it seem like she came all this way from Australia on exchange just to bother you, why can't you just be nice?" Sarah asked.
"Don't tell me how to live my life Sarah!" Erica exclaimed.
"Yeah Sarah, Erica wouldn't be Erica if she didn't go around being a bitch to nice people" I said, crossing my arms as we stopped walking.
"Thank you Bailey" Erica said, picking up the pen attached to the sign up board. Benny tried to grab it at the same time and they stared at each other for a moment.
"Age before beauty" Benny shrugged, Erica glared briefly before writing her name down.
"Oh that's it let the eagles of creativity soar, I'm off to make copies of this wonderful script" The drama teacher told us as she held up an old book. She tried to open it but it seemed to be quite stuck.
"Looks like it doesn't wanna open" Ethan remarked.
"It didn't wanna be found either, hiding inside that basement wall for 25 years and I dug it out" She said frustratedly while managing to pull the pages apart "There we go, should be clear sailing from here" she said cheerfully as she walked down the hall.
- Later On -
I walked out of the cafeteria with Ethan and spotted Rory on one of the single couches "Hey guys check it out, my newest prank just hit a million views!" he exclaimed, handing us his phone. There was a guy at a bus top and in a gust of wind he had orange paint on his face, the sign 'Pranksy' popped up on screen and I smiled "Classic Pranksy, I'm super popular" Rory said, taking back his phone. My eyes widened.
"Wait, you're Pranksy? The guy who paints people's faces?" I asked.
"Yup, and nobody knows it" he chuckled.
"Well technically if nobody knows then you're not really popular" Ethan sighed.
"But I'm Pranksy" Rory said.
"Yeah but nobody knows that" Ethan pointed out.
"Oh no. People need to know I'm awesome, I gotta get on this!" Rory exclaimed before marching away.
"Ethan this script sucks! There's no lightening, no thunder, nothing even close to an explosion" Benny said angrily while showing us the play script.
"I know, I hear it's full of feelings and believing in yourself" Ethan said.
"Benny believes in lightening, you should sign up and help me out with this" Benny pleaded.
"No way, I am not a drama nerd I'm a real nerd" Ethan said, about to walk away.
"Sarah's in it" Benny said knowing Ethan wouldn't pass it up, Ethan turned around slowly and smiled.
"I'm a drama nerd" He said with a dreamy look on his face, I rolled my eyes and giggled.
"You should sign up too Bail's. You can be my helper" Benny suggested, putting an arm around my shoulder.
"I don't know" I hesitated.
"Please, I will love you forever" he begged, I sighed and nodded.
"Fine, so what am I gonna be helping you with exactly?" I asked, a little worried about Benny's plans.
"Not much, I just want some company up in that control room" he admitted chuckling, I rolled my eyes.
"You are unbelievable!" I exclaimed, though I was smiling.
"Yeah but you love me for it" he said, looking down at me. I sighed.
"Yeah unfortunately I do" I replied in a disappointed tone. He raised his eyebrows and smirked.
"Really? Fine I'll just leave you alone" he said, taking his arm back and speeding up a bit. I rolled my eyes but caught up with him.
"C'mon Benny" I begged while grabbing the side of his jacket.
"No Bailey" he said, speeding up again. I laughed and jumped in front of him.
"Benny c'mon. You know I love you voluntarily!" I exclaimed, I got a few weird looks from people but I ignored them.
"Really?" Benny asked as he stopped walking, I knew he was playing around but I felt the need to prove it to him.
"Yes. And I am never leaving you" I said, moving my hands up to grab the collar of his shirt. He put his arms around my waist and stuck his hands into the back pockets of my shorts.
"Ditto" he muttered, resting his forehead against my own. I smiled and glanced around the hallway to find it was mostly empty, apart from the odd person here and there.
"Good boy" I said, turning back around. I slowly pushed him backwards until he was against the lockers.
"Well, well Miss Morgan what are you up to?" he asked smirking, I nearly growled from his teasing but I held back.
"You'll find out soon enough Mr Weir" I replied before crushing my lips against his. He kissed back just as eager and put one leg between mine before spinning us around so that I was against the lockers.
"I love you so much Bail's" he panted, pulling back a bit. I looked up and our eyes locked.
"I know" I whispered before pulling him back to me.
- The Next Day -
I was in my warehouse after school trying to decide what to wear the next day "So this is your home" I spun around and hissed at the intruder "Easy Bailey it's just me" Ethan said, putting his hands up. I nodded and sighed.
"How did you know I was here?" I asked confusedly.
"Benny told me" he explained, I nodded.
"Benny. I'll be talking to him tomorrow" I said, walking towards Ethan. He sighed and looked around the small room.
"It's very dark" he remarked, I smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, vampires aren't exactly allowed to be in the sun when it rises. If we are then we turn to ash" I explained, his eyes widened.
"You never told us that before" he said, I shrugged.
"There's a lot of stuff I haven't told you E" I said, he nodded.
"Why don't you come home Bailey? Your room is exactly the way it was" he begged, I shook my head.
"No cuz, I love you guys and I really hate it in this warehouse but I will not risk hurting you guys. Vampires get very hungry in the morning" I said nervously.
"You won't have to worry about that Bailey, look I talked to Benny and we both agreed that you could drink from us. Not with your fangs obviously but I could take blood and put it into a bag for you. I was on that nursing course too remember?" he asked, I shook my head quickly.
"No way Ethan, I won't drink from you guys especially not Benny!" I exclaimed angrily, he nodded and took a step back.
"Okay, okay. Sorry Bailey. Look just please come home, we'll figure out a way for you to get blood in the morning just please come back" he begged, I thought about it for a moment before nodding.
"Okay fine but only if your parents are cool with it" I said, he smiled.
"Yeah I asked them before I came here with Rory, so lets grab your stuff and get outta here!" he exclaimed. I picked up the box in the corner and turned back around "Is that it?" he asked, I nodded.
"Yup, this is it"
"Where do you get your clothes then?" he asked confusedly.
"My clothes are actually at Erica's house, she's been keeping them safe for me. According to her clothes this good should be somewhere hygienic" I said, motioning to my clothes. He chuckled and shrugged.
"Well she has a point. Come on Bail's it's time to go home" he said, I nodded and we left the warehouse.
