In the morning I stayed in my room staring at my lavender ceiling not wanting to see Joey. Kora came in then knelled to my level.

"You OK?" Kora asked.

"Joey kissed me last night." I admitted.

"I know." I turned my head to look at her. "OK, you know what? Joey only went out with me to make you jealous. I agreed to go out with him so I could see if you would act on your feelings."

"You knew I had feelings for him?"

"Yeah, that's why I did it. But you did nothing but cry yourself to sleep. I mean, I heard you one night and it was very late. I felt like blurting it out so you would stop and go after him."

"I don't believe you would do that."

"We wanted you to stand up for yourself."

"No, you stole him from me."

"I can't steal something you don't own Myth."

"Just get out," I looked back to my ceiling in anger.

"Don't you get it? Joey likes you. He's a real person. Not a vampire. I know how much you like him."

"He should have just asked me out then."

"Joey's shy Myth."

"Please just leave." I had to roll over so Kora wouldn't see me crying.

"Okay." Kora left then tears escaped my eyes like a water fountain. Joey could have just said he liked me and I wouldn't have to go through all of this. Joey could have been my first boyfriend. But instead he did it the jerky way, guys are such jerks.

Joey's church has its own personal hospital. It was used during world war two. The top doctors had studied on people that volunteered, although they had to make sure they were accurate with everything.

They spent their childhood learning about doctors, inspired by their parents, and their teen years dedicated to god. Distractions seemed like the devils temptations.

In the hospital people are usually bleeding very hard core like they had been stabbed or shot. The doctors didn't take them to a special room, everyone was individually special and reasonably close, so the doctors just pulled the curtain across and did the surgery there.

The big hall was white and had windows high up on the left side. The doctors had ladders in the corner to pull the windows open or shut them.

Joey stood by me as we stood next to an old lady in a bed that was reading a book that she accidentally got a paper cut from. Joey squeezed my hand tightly.

"Your not queasy are you?" I asked.

"Not, it's just that... your boyfriend would suck her blood right now if he was here." Joey sighed. The old lady was deaf, so she just sighed and got a tissue from the table beside her. The truth is that Jason would, he seemed like the vampire that couldn't control himself. It was my turn to squeeze Joey's hand.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Joey smiled.

"Joey, why now? Why would you admit you like me when I have Jason?" This was the question that haunted my day like rotted mold. Deep down I knew Joey had a good reason. Joey was fearly reasonable with things.

"I guess I'm just jealous. I should have asked you out."

"Your doing what you wanted me to do."

"Well, in a way." Anger spread across my face and possessed my brain. He was going to get hurt against Jason if he stood in his way. All I wanted to know was what it would be like if we were together. But I had to stop fantasizing. If I didn't I wouldn't be glued to Jason's heart anymore.

"I have to go," I say turning to the exist, but Joey gripped his hands on my waist.

"He's not good for you Mist. You have to understand that I hate him. My whole religion would want to exterminate him."

"Joe, I trust him. Your going to have to trust me."

"I trust you, just not him."

"Joey, I'm sorry." Joey let me go then I walked out with my head hung down.

Hamish and Holly waited in the living room for me sitting on the dolphin carved couches. Kora was in her room listening to her radio so she wouldn't have heard them coming in. Holly folded her arms, were as Hamish was just concerned.

"How many people know about us?" Hamish asked.

"Just my sister," I lied.

"Your lieing," Holly said.

"Holly, let me handle this," Hamish glanced at Holly then back to me.

"Mystery, why did you tell Joey? You put him in danger from us. He knows too much."

"Jason hates him, I hate Christians." Holly said.

"He's just a really close friend. He's no threat to you guys, I promise. No one else knows. I shouldn't have said anything. Kora just guessed and Jason threatened Joey, I had to tell him." Holly took fast steps so she was right in my face.

"It wasn't your secret to tell." Holly said.

"Hey, she is the victim here." Hamish buttoned in.

"I don't know why he likes you, You disgust me you filthy human." Holly looked me up and down then pushed me hard. It was that moment I could tell that whenever Holly was a human she wasn't very nice at the time, and now she had lost all humanity.

"Holly," Hamish stood. "Leave her, that's enough."

"When do I get to kill her?"

"When Jason gets bored." It sounded as if Jason had done this before, but I'm sure it's just in my head.

"He won't, I love him. I'll make it worth his while." I said feeling confident.

"Yeah," Holly laughed. "As long as your human." Holly came closer to me as if she was watching her prey.

"Holly, control yourself." Hamish putted his hand against Holly's holder to hold her back. Holly scrunched up her nose then punched my face. I fell to the ground. The pain made my face burn. It must have gone cherry red because Holly looked at me like she couldn't stand not killing me anymore. "Holly, we need to leave." Hamish interrupted. Holly took in a deep breath then went outside.

"Oh yeah, Jason's thinking about you." Hamish said then followed Holly. It felt good to know Jason still cared. It made my insides tickle and go warm despite my burning face.

"Come on Mystery." Tom begged for the millionth time on the side line.

"I said no Tom." I denied.

"It'll be great. You don't have to do anything."

"Tom, I have a boyfriend now. If Jason found out, he'd literally kill you."

"See, you do care about me."

"No, I just think that it's a suicide idea."

"One date, that's all I'm asking." No guy had begged for a date for me before.

"OK, I'll play you for it." I wanted Tom to fear me, he knew how good I was, but he just smiled.

"It's a deal." Tom held out his hand but I couldn't shake it, I was still crazy for his touch, in a good way.

Two people cleared their court for both of us. They all knew what was going to happen. This had happened before. It made me cry at home one time, but I stopped because I realized it wasn't something worth crying over.

Tom let me serve like he always did unless it was his superior day. My serve was reasonably high, Tom's hits were fast, that's why he was captain. His hits were a gift. No one else could do that. But I was fast at running. Tom kept on doing really good shots, he really wanted to go out with me.

The game ended with me winning. The second time he did nice shots as if he were just playing with me with no twists. Tom was the sort of player that didn't need to grunt when he hitted. It was too easy for him. This time he won because he did a fast shot at the last minute.

It was a tie now, it was the best out of three. He won the last game because I grunted too much, I could tell he wanted me to with his big grin.

"I won Mist," Tom came up to me with a smirk on his face. "Where's my prize?"

"OK, you win. But I'm not kissing you. Got that?" I said.

"Yeah sure." I was sure he was going to stand me up. Why would he want to go out with me for real? No one would know. He probably did this just to embarrass me.

But I had to put up my end of the deal, I just had to. All I did was put up my hair and wear my casual clothes, with Kora's jeans. If he did come he wouldn't want to see me in sweat pants.

Surprisingly, Tom came through the door in the restaurant and sat opposite me. He wore a tight black shirt with no pictures on it and jeans that also looked really tight, so I couldn't look down, even if I wanted to- which I don't.

"You came," I said.

"Yeah, let's order." Tom clicked his fingers for the Waitress. The Waitress wore the classic pink blouse tucked into a long pink skirt. "I'll take the cheese supreme with extra fries. She'll take the salad." Salad? Who does he think I am? A strict diet girl?

"Yes sir, it'll be ready in ten minutes." The Waiter walked into the kitchen.

"He, who said I wanted a salad? Maybe I'm into meat." I said.

"Oh sorry, it's just every girl I come with orders the salad. To be honest, it annoys me."

"Of course they want the salad. They worry about their body's for you boys', take it as a compliment."

"How do you stay thin then?"

"I actually exercise! Plus, my mother's like super thin so I'll always be like this."

"It's a curse!" Tom joked.

"You could say that." I smiled for the first time on purpose.

"I can share my fries anyway."

"Bring it on." Later, Tom went to order a medium coke and a large strawberry milkshake. The milkshake was for me. Here I was, speaking to one of the pretty boys on a date and actually laughing my head off about some of the stupid things his girlfriends have said.

"You know what she asked me? What colour is yellow?" Tom said.

"No, you know what's stupid? My sister is a Satanist, posters are on her wall. And yet, my Christian neighbor went out with her." I said.

"Bad Christian," Tom acted surprised. Tome fed me a chip as the Waitress delivered our orders. The chip was scorching hot. I had to cover my mouth as I blew on it and my face turned red. Tom bumped his head on the glass laughing at me.

"You idiot!" I said.

"Sorry, I'll blow on it next time." That meant I was pretty much be sharing saliva with him, but I didn't mind. At least he didn't put it in his mouth before feeding it to me.

By the time that Tom finished his nachos and cheese burger I still hadn't finished my milkshake, so I had to finish it in his car.

"So, why aren't you scared of Jason? He did threaten you." I said.

"I just wanted to piss him off."

"Does that mean you didn't want to go out with me?"

"I turned up didn't I?"

"Answer the question Tom." I stopped.

"Well yeah, I want to go out with people I like."

"So, you don't settle. You just keep on dating."

"Basically," So this date meant nothing. "But we can be an item in school."

"Tom, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come. I still like Jason. I shouldn't have lead you on."

"OK, it's fine. Just give me a goodbye kiss."

"I don't want to." This would be the perfect moment to kiss me, he could show his true colours as a pretty boy, but he didn't.

"OK then." Tom drove me home, although I couldn't stop wanting him to kiss me. Tom parked in my driveway, but I didn't want to go inside. Mum would pester me about my Corfu, Kora would want every detail.

"Here we are," Tom said.

"Yeah," I said.

"Hey, it must be hard. This is were Jacob got murdered." I didn't even think about that.

"Who believes I killed him?"

"The stupid gullible ones" I smiled a bit. "Hey, 'll be at school tomorrow." Tom rubbed my arm.

"Yeah, you'll ignore me like you always have."

"Mist-"

"Don't, it's for the best anyway." I didn't want to be angry, but I had to remember the reality.

"You know if anyone asked I'd say we went out. We could go out more you know."

"The only thing wrong with that is that you'll fall for another pretty girl that flatters her eyes at you that's way more hotter than me." I looked into his eyes now.

"How do you know that for sure? You don't know me well enough yet."

"I know plenty." Tom sneaked a peek at my lips, but went serious again. Why doesn't he just go for the kiss? It would prove that he had guts. Or is he just a pretty boy?

There was a split second where Tom leaned to me and I did feel like kissing him. Of course I did, he's hot and had taken me out on an awesome date, plus I'm still not used to being kissed. But I thought about Jason, not popularity, Jason. He let me live and made me feel alive, he kissed me- my first kiss,and he was a sexy vampire. Who would be foolish enough to throw that away from some guy that didn't notice me before? It would be foolish to cheat on a vampire, or anyone for that matter. At ten I vowed I'd never cheat, I swore- and I don't curse a lot.

The only reason I came was because I lost the bet and I wanted to see if he showed. Tom actually came, but before he would walk past me when he passed me. So I had to do the right thing and back away leaving Tom in the air with his lips relaxed. After a moment or two he realized my lips weren't joined to his so he looked back at my garage.

"I'm sorry," I said quietly.

"It's OK, I was probably using you anyway." oh now I can sense he's embarrassed, I embarrassed a pretty boy.

Suddenly, Tom was pulled out of the window.

"If you ever try to kiss her again..." It was Jason! He was really angry, but I couldn't see is face.

"She wanted to!" Tom defended.

"Jason?" I said. Jason slammed Tom on the car door.

"Stay the hell away from her." Jason said then disappeared.

"Are you OK?" I went over to see Tom who looked in the direction that Jason must of left.

"You should go inside now." Tom said.

"OK," I ran into my house into my bedroom. But I wasn't afraid of Jason, it was just the heat of the moment. I hated myself for running. Now I probably wouldn't see Jason on my birthday. It was all my fault. If I hadn't agreed to going on the date. I didn't know if I was angry at Tom or myself.

A/N: So I won't be updating till Sunday because my step dad always gets grouchy at me for using the computer but he shouldn't complain because he goes on way more than me.
