For those of you who have already read the chapter yes I did change Brittany's name to Miku, though that pretty much changes... well nothing actually. For those of you that haven't read it then you just wasted your time by reading this sentence. Since I'm writing this I want to thank everyone for the reviews! I love you all!
As we flew over the desert I had to wonder, why Dartmouth? Was my Uncle trying to torture me?
"Oh my gosh, it's so dry here!" shouted one of the Day Class girls.
"What's with all the dirt? I mean seriously. There's too much cactus and not enough trees," said another.
"You would think they've never seen dirt before," I muttered to Zero, who was sitting next to me. However he was ignoring me, apparently mesmerized by the never ending desert outside. In the back I could hear some of the old Night Class students that the Headmaster brought with him. Ichijo was trying to get Rima and Shiki to have a pillow fight. Adio and Akatsuki were leaning over some book, discussing something while Ruka watched. My uncle had invited the Kurans too but they were nowhere to be found.
"I wish they would just go away," Zero muttered
We'd had this discussion already, multiple times.
"Uncle brought them because he was worried about them. Their parents were just going to send them here anyways so why travel separately," I said.
"Why would you send vampires into a place that's always hot and sunny?" Zero asked, not for the first time.
"I don't know, because it's safe? Though I still don't understand what kind of danger they're in," I said rationally.
"Hmm," Zero turned back to the window. We passed over Fort Dartmouth and the plane began to lose altitude. We landed in the only airport that the city of Saguaro had.
"Finally!" I said. I stood up and stretched. Zero stared at me with an odd expression on his face.
"What?" I asked.
"I didn't think you wanted to come back," he said.
"I don't," I said, "but I have to deal with it don't I?"
"I guess," he said.
We followed the others off the plane. Zero made it a point to walk behind the vampires, to keep an eye on them I guess.
When we finally got to the hotel that the Headmaster had rented out Zero and I split, carrying out various duties that the Headmaster had forced on us. It took work drag the girls away from the Night Class who were going to a separate area of the hotel, but I managed. After everyone was settled, I flopped down on my bed in the room I shared with Yori.
"It's too bad that Yuki couldn't come," Yori said, "I miss seeing her."
"Hmmm" I said. I really felt like taking a nap but no my phone started to ring. I picked it up. It was old best friend, Miku. I knew I should have not put on my social networking page that I was coming back.
I held the phone to my ear and was suddenly overwhelmed by how much I had missed her. When she finally paused to take a breath I couldn't even get the word "hi" out of my mouth. That's how close to tears I was. I had had enough crying and I was ready to just be done. I stared at the door, wishing Zero would walk in and give me a shoulder to cry on.
I cocked my head, listening to Miku's most recent question. Something about a pep rally for homecoming. I closed my eyes and sighed.
"Sure, I'll do it, but I do not want to see that evil girl,"
I said goodbye to Brittany and lay down on the bed, so much for resting this weekend.
