Chapter 15

I don't get it. I just don't get it whatsoever! As soon as we got Uncle Sam's private jet, Hayden and Zero seem to become friends. Maybe it's because of their personalities? I don't know. At first Zero looked disgusted by Hayden's fangs but after they started talking, they began joking with each other. WTF! And of course, Aiden instantly made friends with Yuuki. The Chairman dude is speaking with Chaotic and October as I was left to my thoughts. Taking a sip out of my Monster, I was suddenly hit with a paper wad on the back of my head. I spun around glaring daggers at two smirking fools. Hayden and Zero.

"Well someone's PMSing," Hayden spoke in an oh-so-smug attitude. Placing my Monster down, I charge at him only to lay my head on his shoulders, "my stomach hurts-" "Morning sickness?" "You're such a fucking pervert! You don't even have a brain, you probably replaced it with condoms, you man whore!" I slam his head against the seat and high-tailed it over to Aiden for protection. "Hah, I told you she will explode one of these days. Gimme mah 20 bucks, fool!" he claps his hands over his head and then right in Hayden's face. Chaotic and I sighed at this; they're about to start fighting.

"Get your hand out of my face!" "Get my money out of your wallet!" "Move it or I will shove it!" "I'll tell mommy!" Can you believe they're a year older than me? Hayden grunts and reluctantly reaches into his back pocket. This was too fast for them to get over a fight. I don't know what he did exactly, but it look like he grabbed Aiden's wrist, slammed him against the wall, and was just about to punch him when Chaotic yanked him back. "What's wrong with you two?! You're more violent than-" "Oi, Chaotic, can't you tell that he's more stressed out than usual? You can just tell by his posture and the way he has that thinking-silence face on?" I snickered while clandestinely handing Aiden the 20 bucks and skipping back over to Hayden's side. He hates it when I read him like an open book… "Teehee, Zero-kun maybe this is how I can read you too!" I tried to slip his wallet back but he felt it. Crap.

‡~*~*~‡

Uncle Sam just asked which city we were going to land even though we've been circling one city for five minutes…wow. "Hey Uncle Sam! Why did you ask which city when you've been circling Fremont?" I yelled up to the cockpit. "I was bored!" he yells back with some mad laughter. We all sweatdropped at this point. "Your family's crazy-" "You just noticed?" Aiden giggled childishly at me.

The landing went smoothly; I could already see Jeremy's Mustang. As soon as it was safe to leave, Chaotic and October raced to the exit. They ended up getting stuck in the doorway. Great. Hayden had to come over and kick them out of the way. Jeremy was almost immediately tackled against to the ground by October, then Chaotic followed suit. Haha loser! I was left with Crimson, "Poor Crimson, did she leave you? That horrible person—what are you lookin' at, boy?" I snapped at Zero who was giving me a strange look. Crimson has feelings too, okay! He likes it when people talk/hold him! Or then he'll bite. October always did love things with fangs… no pun intended. xD

"How dare you hug my Jere-bear without my permission!" I called that bitch out as if we were fighting over a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. "You say that like you own him," she snickers; everyone was watching. "Why of course," I brush up against him seductively while grabbing his car keys, only to pull away with a smirk, "cuz he's going to let me drive his car!" I just had the door open when he yanked me back and we began a tug-of-war with his keys. Oh, and Crimson was with Aiden in case you were wondering. "Oh come on-" "No." "Please?" "No." "I have a driver's license-" "No." "YOU'RE SMART!" "No—wait!" "SCORE ONE FOR 16 YEAR OLDS! AND ZERO FOR 20 YEAR OLDS THAT LOOK LIKE A PIECE OF SHIT!" I began doing my happy dance but before Jeremy could get pissed off Chaotic interrupted him.

"Hey Jere, we'll walk home-" "yeah, I got to see my 'rents! They wanna know about the college we're attending." October purred. I bet once they're out of our sight, they're gonna go into super speedness! "Are you su-" "Yes! Plus, Chaotic needs to walk off a few pounds," she pats his stomach. It was so funny; his mouth was wide open from shock. His fangs were oh-so-shiny! Jeremy sees this so he flicks his left one! We always do this! "Owwieeeee Jeremyyyyyy whyyyyy did youuuu doooo that?!" he had anime tears running down his cheeks. Zero and Yuuki's face was so priceless; the Chairman dude looked like he was about to faint. See Chaotic, is almost always like this! At Cross Academy, he's just a little bit on edge is all…

As they were going through the dramatic scene, the twins and I were putting our crap in the trunk. Hayden looked like he was trying to hotwire the car too! Haha… he almost had it too when Jeremy came out of no where and smacked the crap outta him. The Anderson cousins are so weird.

‡~*~*~‡

I woke up to Aiden screaming in my ear about how Scarlett, her boyfriend, Sammy boi, the gang, Aiden –green eyes-, and his slutty girlfriend was arriving in five minutes. And if I don't get my ass up in two minutes he'll do it the ol' fashion way. Which includes a bucket of ice cold water… lets just say I shot of bed before you could say 'chocolate covered unicorns!'

It was cold outside and dark, well except of the eliminated barns/buildings. There are a lot of good memories on this farm. The stables are in the back. There are horses, cattle, cats, dogs, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, and all that good stuff. But don't let this farm fool you, cuz inside the main house it's all about technology! There's a game room/movie theater/indoor swimming area/music room downstairs. I tend to stay away from the swimming area cuz I always get pushed in. -_- And there's secret pass ways throughout the house. This is awesome because you have more opportunities to scare people—I mean say hello to people! ^^;

"So are you ready for the drama?" Hayden asks taking me out of my daze. He was staring at the driveway, before giving me a worried glance that quickly turn to sarcastic, "Or bitch slap that fucking hoe for spreading unnecessary rumors?" "I don't know man, I mean, I came back to see friends, not to start a fight with a bitch who can't keep her legs closed." Two vans were pulling in just as Hayden and I jumped off the porch in unison. The gang was the first ones out. I got a few hugs from Ponyboy, Two-Bit, and Soda. (A/N: like I mention, I said tht I'll use some other book characters. But if you don't know these three characters then don't worry, they won't be mention much. And also I'm going to use my old characters from my other old Quizilla story.) Next, came Sammy boi, Scarlett, and her boyfriend. After hugging Sammy boi and Scarlett to death, a chill ran up my spine for Scarlett's boyfriend is a vampire.

"Hayden, where's Zero?" I called him out over the crowd. "Sleeping!" Thank cheese-in-a-can for that! "Where's Mr. Irony?" That's a nickname for Chaotic since his last name means peaceful. Irony, right? "Kitchen, where else dipshit?" "OH! I WANNA SEE OCTOBER AND CHAOTIC!" Scarlett exclaims, pulling me towards the house. She's the same size of Yuuki and is able to pull me along like this...yep I'm weak. Scarlett is a year older but is a junior in high school like me–well Japan has a different grade system but still! She has a twin sister but she's not here, they're fraternal twins. Scarlett has raven black hair unlike her sister, Melanie, who has blonde hair. They are complete opposites but still adore each other. ^-^ Another thing that separates them apart is that Scarlet is a medium. She can't see spirits; well only if she centers herself then yes. I guess if we had to go into labels - she would be called a goth.

I look back for help but caught Aiden's beautiful green eyes instead. Time seems to slow down; we just stared at each other. He had on a BMTH tee, some old grey skinnies with holes, and some different shades of green in his jet black hair... But had that slut by his side. In a blink of an eye, time went back to normal like a smack in the face... stupid door!

I began cussing at Scarlett for slamming the effin' door at me. Then I got a mini lecture by a passing Maddie. She spoke too fast to understand but I think it was a joke…the world may never know. Maddie's a genius, she has a super-autobiographical memory; she scarcely forgets anything. And let me tell you, it's annoying at times! She's going to Harvard, for some animal studies and such. She's kinda famous, but she still hangs out with losers like us and that means a whole lot to me.

As Scarlett was hugging the life out of October, her boyfriend came in and as soon as his eyes laid on Chaotic he clasped his hands together and bowed. 'All hale King I-am-a-moron!' while I was snickering at this thought, the Chairman dude and Maddie's grandma were just entering.

"Grandma, this is my boyfriend, Aito Akaike," (A/N: Aito means affection and the last name Akaike means crimson lake... I think.) As he gave his greeting I watch Maddie's gr- you know what she's everybody grandma! I watched GRANDMA'S reaction; she rolled her eyes at his formal weirdness. So she began to joke with him and, of course, he smiled. His fangs in full view. Crappp. "What's up with teens and vampire fangs?" she chuckles while grabbing his jaw to get a better look. The Chairman dude looked like he was about to shit his pants! Everyone else held in their breaths, including Scarlett. That means she knows about vampires...oh she so owes me for this.

"They're kinky" I drawled, like I was stating the obvious. Suddenly a gust of wind blew through the kitchen. Morons…they all owe me a cookie now. "So that's what you're into? Just wait until we get back-" "Mommy, October's using those naughty mean words again!" I cried dramatically (A/N: hah that reminded me of Tamaki Suoh!) and left to find Zero and Yuuki's room. They have separate beds.

Yuuki was in the bathroom and Zero was sleeping…sweet! I pounced on Zero, making myself comfortable as I straddled him. This doesn't look perverted at all! He shot up straight, causing us to smack foreheads…owieee! He groans in pain and sank back down to the fluffy-pillowness. Holy crap shit! He's shirtless! He has nice abs, if I do say so myself. I guess he finally realized what I was staring at because he had a light pink tint to his cheeks. He might be a Mr. Grumpy Pants at times but he's so adorable! ^w^ Zero was about to push me off when Yuuki came in.

"Ehhhh?! What are you two doing?" she shakes, oh I know how to make this even funnier. "Threesome?" I suggested with a devious grin, and she fainted. I WAS JUST JOKING! I laughed so hard that tears were escaping out of the corner of my eyes. But then I felt something weird, "Zero, don't have a boner, it's ru-" I didn't get to finished cuz I was out in the hallway in a blink of an eye…then I heard the bathroom door slam; that made me laugh even harder.

While walking back to the kitchen, I happened to pass Aiden and his slutty girlfriend. I advert my gaze towards the television and kept my face expressionless as much as possible. In my peripheral vision, I saw Aiden watching me as if he wanted to talk to me. And what's her face was flipping me off behind him. A smirk seems to escape my silent charade along with a voice, "So say hello to the boys at the top of this table that you're under. Lipstick lullabies. This is sorry for the last time..." Then I skipped back into the kitchen to bother Scarlett's vampy with a spork! :D

‡~*~*~‡

Over the next few days I found out Aito's power; it's being able to control wind. This can come in handy when hurricane season rolls around down south, since they live in Louisiana. Zero wasn't too happy to find another vampire here; he was furious when he found out that Scarlett was dating him. She almost slapped Zero. Chaotic has now given back the cookie he owes me! That loser xD! Aidou now has my number because he was held Ichijou's phone captive. I think it was because Kaname was pulling the petals off of a rose and Ichijou went to clean up the mess, Aidou tried to stop him. That's not an obsession at all...he has issues. So I drew him a pig...he got angry! -Insert an evil smile here-

On Monday/Tuesday, I hung out with my old besties; it was awesome! At one point I was talking about my classmates, like Aidou for example! Briana thought his name was "A-dough" then I lectured her that his name sounded like "Idol". Afterward, I ended up calling him an "A-hole". Good times, good times! ^^

Speaking of a-holes; Aiden's slutty girlfriend is starting to get on my nerves! I'm trying to be the bigger person but DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD THAT IS?! All she does is make stupid comments at everything I do/say. She made fun of Sammy boi—how can you do that?! And when Aiden isn't around, she flirts with Zero! He glares at her to tell her to get the fuck away from him but she keeps coming back. At one point, I threw a plate at her but then got yelled at cuz she's a snitch. - oh how I hope a giant rainbow poisonous bug eats her whole…but then the buggie will die from all the STDs she has... AW POOR BUGGIE NEVER HAD A CHANCE! It'll probably start having a violent seizer with foam coming out of the mouth—I got off topic didn't I?"

Since we were staying at the Anderson Household Hotel—hehe I made that up! ^^ We have to make little objects for Turkey Day tomorrow. We pick names out of a hat and the objects have to have some meaning as to why you're thankful to that person. I got Sammy boi, Zero got Hayden, Yuuki got October, and the others won't tell me theirs… meanies.

I'm drawing a nature scenery with some bright green colors. Since Sammy boi brightens my day like a walk in a forest and I'm greatly thankful for that. So I have to sit opposite from him on the couch and watch Yuuki kick Hayden's sorry ass in rock band! It's hilarious! She just started playing today and he's losing! Chuckling to myself, I leave the game room and head to the covered patio upstairs. The shortest way is to go outside and up… it's so cold. Grrr.

When I got up there I suddenly noticed this bracelet on the far corner table. Glancing around to make sure if anyone was here, I sneak over and pick it up. It had a note tied to it…with my name in big bold rainbow letters. The bracelet was made out of plastic green and black beads with the word "PEACE" in the middle. I love it. The note said 'meet me in the tree-house at 5:30pm' and it was already 5:27 so I bolted out the door for my curiosity was getting the best of me again. And mostly because I couldn't recognize the hand writing.

It was already dark so I had to be cautious while climbing up. This tree-house isn't normal; it has a heater for winter, a ceiling fan for summer, and a small flat screen with a DVD player built into it…be jealous! xD In the background, the radio was playing Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri. I cock my head to the side waiting for the person to show themselves. Why do I have a bad feeling? As I began to sing to the song, I lean back to examine the ceiling. There were so many drawings from over the years that they took over one wall. We called it 'cave people paintings!' it's weird I know.

"Cassie," it was Aiden, my ex-bestie. Shit! I race to the trap door but he grabbed my wrist. The sound of a slap echoed through out the room. Okay that was mean, but I have the every right to, after what happen a few months ago.

*Flashback*

"Cassie, Pony, have you seen McKayla?" Aiden asks as he ran up to us out of breath. He was never the athletic type even if he has an 8 pack. I chuckle to myself as we shook our heads. Then we decided to split up for his girlfriend.

"What were you laughing about?" Pony asks with a gentle smile. "He ran across the gym and already out of breath. Can you say dork?" I joke while pushing him to the other side of the hall. He mumbled 'meanie' as we rounded a corner. There stood McKayla with a random asshole. His hand was up her skirt while she was giving him a hand job. That slut! Aiden already has trust issues cuz of his abusive, drunk of a so called father! And she does this?! She's gonna pay.

"HEY!" I screech at the bitch in front of us, "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" They just look at us as if we were pigeons. The jackass kisses the slut on the lips before leaving; we just stare at her with shock expressions. "McKayla-" "Pony, her name isn't McKayla, its slut now."

As we yell at her, she didn't even flinch or defend herself! As if she didn't even care! Just stood there with her hands on her hips as if we were boring her! Then Aiden comes from behind us; we told him what happen and watch for his reaction. He looks from her to us. Then walks over to her. What is he doing?!

"I don't believe you…" he whispers, ducking his head so that we can't see his face. We were taken back. I pat my ears to make sure I was hearing right. While Pony went ballistic, "DUDE WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS! HOW CAN YOU NOT BELIEVE US?!" "I love her." That little comment caused an ache in my chest. I squint my eyes as she watched me with a sneer. "We were friends before she came here! Hell, you knew Ponyboy since grade school and you still don't believe us?! Are you willing to break friendships for that bitch who doesn't even love you?!" I yelled with my voice growing a few octaves higher than usual. I bet my brown eyes are turning black. I watch as she reaches over to him with fake tears rolling down her cheeks. He tells her to go wait outside, and then kisses her where that jackass did. I can't believe this is happening. Pony runs off in the other direction; he looks like he wants to punch someone. I want to run and hide but I couldn't. Say goodbye to my heart tonight…

"So this is how it ends, the young naïve moron goes off with his slut-of-a-girlfriend." I snap, making my way over to shake some sense into him. His beautiful emerald eyes that I always adored were now filled with hatred… towards me. "You know what? You're just jealous that I found my true love!" Now that was a shocker. "Stay away from me you stupid, suicidal freak!" he runs the way his slutty girlfriend went and out to the cold September night. Leaving me to stare at the tear spots on the floor while my vision becomes cloudy.

*End of Flashback*

Who would've known those words would still haunt my dreams each night?

"I deserved that," he says while placing a hand on he cheek. "You deserve more, bastard! So get the fuck out of my-" "I need to speak with you, please-" "I don't get you, Aiden. You told me to stay out of your fuckin life and now you're trying to bring me back in! And they call me bipolar! Take your damn bracelet and shove it where the god damn sun doesn't shine!" I scream throwing the thing in his face. "Please," his voice was cracking. Aw man, he used that tone! It reminds me of a miserable puppy, whimpering, all alone in the dark. I face the wall for him to speak.

"On the bracelet," what the fuck does the bracelet have anything to do with this? "It says 'PEACE' because you brought peace to my soul." Okay that was sweet—gahh I'm losing it! "You have no idea how sorry I am. The reason why I didn't believe you guys was because she made me happy and I didn't want to end the happiness." Wow that didn't hurt at all. "Later on, I did find out that she was cheating on me but I gave her a second chance." Crap, karma is a bitch. "How did you find out?" "I got the clap…" No way, that means I was right!

"OHHH I KNEW SHE WAS AN STD INFECTED BITCH!" I burst out laughing while doing the I-knew-it dance. The tune is like SpongeBob's I'm-ready song before he goes to the Krusty Krab. "Wait that means you guys did it!" I scream childishly at his grinning blushing figure, "Ewww that's disgusting—I mean I still hate you! Gahhh where's mah pills?! I bet Hayden took them! That jackass! I'm supposed to be mad at you but yet I'm talking to myself! OH MY UNICORNS…I WANT SUNFLOWER SEEDS!" I think my hyper side was taking over cuz of that cookie Chaotic gave me. "Then I can get a sling shot and aim it you and your SLUTTY girlfriend! Next step, taking over the world," I stuck out my tongue playfully, while watching him giggle at my reaction. Why was he laughing? "It's good to know you're the same old Cassie-" "You think I'm the same? You don't know who you're talking to, boy." I gave him a sly look out of the corner of my eye. Going into predator mode. "You hurt me." Those three little words made him cringe. "I now carry two switchblades in my pockets cuz I can't trust people. And you're slutty girlfriend has been spreading rumors about me all over the internet. Even though we're not friends anymore you told her about the incident; I shall never forgive you for that. But by now, I could careless." I lean in closer to his ear, "because of you, I began cutting." I pull back to see him turn pale. I giggled as I circled around him.

"Teehee, you're the first one I told! And I loved your reaction! I just cut my legs not wrists like you used too. Who would've known that I would've cut over a guy? I'm so pathetic. But yet, so are you!" I purred while placing the bracelet back on my right wrist. "By the way, darling, I still love your green eyes, oh and your guyliner is a bit smudge. See ya later," I leaned in to kiss his cheek before retreating back to the house.

‡~*~*~‡

It was after turkey dinner—well Aiden (blue eyes) and I didn't have any meat. But anyways, Tyler, Cookie, Alex, Sam, and Skylar had just announced that they got signed by a record company! It was so awesome that I did a back flip off my chair. And tomorrow there's going to be a party at Cookie's house. That means I have to see the people I went to school with.

Anyhow, Zero and I are going out to the stables to see the horses, when Aiden and his slutty girlfriend decided to tag along. Can't I just get away from them for an hour?! And what's worst is that Zero's here! I don't want him to be caught in the middle of this! "Misery Business" by Paramore was playing in the stables. I LOVE THIS SONG! I race over to Dot and started dancing to the music. Zero started snickering at my funky chicken. How rude! "You're just jealous of my amazing dancing skills!" I spoke in a preppy tone with my nose stuck up in the air. I jump up on Dot's gate trying to brush her mane and poke Zero with my shoe at the same time. Now that's talent! :D! Dot is a young beautiful Lace Knabstrupper mare…about two years old. She has a twin named Dash they both look almost the same; their coats reminds me of coffee with cream on top. Unlike their sweet angelic mother, Dia, those two twins are quite mischievous! They take things and hide them in their stalls/water buckets. _ little devils.

"Who would be jealous of you?" what's-her-face sneered. My fist clenched. I turn to glare at the she-devil. The horses to tell the atmosphere changed, for they started to stomp around in their stalls. "It was a joke, god. Maybe you should stop eavesdropping and get a life." Ok now I'm being a bit of a hypocrite because I love to eavesdrop.

"Second chances, they don't ever matter. People never change. Once a whore, you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change. And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged. I'm sorry honey but I passed it up. Now look this way. Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you. Looking as innocent as possible to get to who they want and what they like. It's easy if you do it right. Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!" I sang, finishing with a sly smirk. "Are you calling me a whore?" she exclaims, (god her voice is annoying) pushing past Aiden so she's a few feet in front of me. I jump down so we were face to face, "Pretty much. See unlike you, when I hate people, I tell it to their face instead of writing crap all over the internet like a coward that you are." I could hear Zero's retreating footsteps from outside. Probably to get some help. Smart boy.

We began yelling at each other, well mostly her; I was using a calm voice. Then I pulled out Touchie to show all the crap that she wrote about me to Aiden and she slapped me. Okay I am never the one to start violence! I'm always on the defense! So when the bitch slapped me, she basically just gave me the right away to defend myself. But talk about déjà vu! I copy the action of what Zac did to me, but when I kicked her ribs, there was a cracking sound. Oh! That's right I have steel toe boots on... my bad. She clutches her side as she falls towards the ground in horse shit. HAHA! Now that's hilarious! I burst out laughing at the sight.

A shot of pain course through my chest causing me to freeze up. I look down to see she has a taser pointed at me. Who the fuck carries a fucking taser?! I fall back against Sugar's gate, while trying to get the little thing-a-ma-jigs off because it hurts! Maddie and both Aiden's were the ones to end the torture.

‡~*~*~‡

I'm resting in peace. Sure one side of me is getting chewed out by Maddie's grandparents, but that doesn't matter! The bitch is in the hospital cuz I possibly broke one or two of her ribs. Maybe this is what they call anger issues. I don't know, all I know fer sure is that I'm grounded. I don't really mind, plus they're just yelling at me...even though I'm not listening. I have a smile upon mah face. And it looks like the Chairman dude wants to cut into this "conversation". You know what's really funny? What's her face used a weapon against me and hardly gets yelled at. This is bullshit.

"Are you even listening?" Grandma explodes; she never gets this angry. "I bet if you get the chainsaw, she'll listen," Maddie smacks the back of my head causing me to look up. "When you put to alpha females in a pack, things don't go so smoothly as planned..." I spoke in a low tone with a dazzling smile. That message pretty much just said don't-mess-with-me-not-in-the-mood-so-watch-out. I slowly glance over at the doorway, there stood two dudes. Tyler and Chaotic. "Hey guys don't be so hard on her. We've done worst in our past; plus your yelling is making her depressed." Tyler is the only one that understands me the most, that's why he's my 'Brother in General'. "She's used to the yelling," Chaotic spoke softly. Everyone in the kitchen turns to look at me; I kept up my wall as I looked up at Tyler. You could barely see his eyes because of his bangs. He has really light blue eyes. His eyes are so light that in the right light it looks white. Hah! Try saying that 5 times fast! Maddie's grandpa walks out at this point, probably tired of my foolishness; most people are. I stood up to brush Tyler's bangs back; "I always loved your eyes, you look so abnormal!" I leaned up to kiss him on the cheek, before running back to my room. In the background I could hear, "Did she just give me a kiss of death?! She never had done that before! WHAT THE FUDGE MUFFINS!" Tyler's an idiot. "What about me?! I feel so left out...NO TYLER DON'T KISS ME, YOU FOOL!" Chaotic's an idiot too.

‡~*~*~‡

The party's over and I'm cleaning up in the kitchen. I'm always in the kitchen, I'm the music chooser! At first the kids I went to school with didn't recognize me, but I think Alex's boyfriend open his big mouth and yeah... I hate Andrew. Zero was here too. Hah! He looked so outta place! I started calling him 'boarding school boy' or 'Mr. B.S.' I personally loved the latter. xD. Yuuki was back at the Anderson Household Hotel along with Sammy boi, Aiden (green eyes), and the bitch. The rest—well was here. Most of them are drunk. I'm just a little tipsy but still have common sense...I think. "Hey Zero-kun, wanna go to my grade school with me? It's only 3 blocks away." But before he could answer I was already dragging him out the door...while Skylar cleans up barf off the wall. Ewww.

Walking around two in the morning is fun but you have to watch out for the cops. It's kinda hard to explain when you're acting like little kids in pure darkness. "How do you like it here Zero, not a lot of vampires, huh?" "Why is that?" "Umm... I don't really know. I asked Chaotic that once and he just smiled. My theory is that since Chaotic's here no other vampires once to deal with a pureblood cuz I never saw an Noble or Level E vampire before coming to Japan-" "You saw a Level E?!" he asks/yells; aw he cares!

"Yeah, when I was leaving the shop, I slam into a guy who was breathing heavily and had glowing red eyes… Now that I think about it he kinda looked familiar—HOLY SHIT DUDE!" My memory of my departure from Seattle was pelting me with bricks! "I talked to the dude at the airport in Seattle! We were talking about the cookies from the bakery—he was still human then, Zero! When we got off the plane in Japan and went our separate ways—that was a two-hour time frame! And he was nice too. Has he been hunted by now?" I stole a glance at Zero as I push myself higher off the swing.

"How would I know? They only send messages to go hunt those things on the lists. I haven't gotten any lately." I'm sorry but I took the last part in a perverted approach. I began laughing at the 'haven't gotten any' part, causing him to shoot a glare in my direction. "Pervert moment, my bad!" I chuckled as I leap out of my swing and on to the cold, hard cement… owie! I could hear Zero laughing at my stupidity. So I threw a rock at him and bolted towards the slides with him on my tail. So out of character, I know!

‡~*~*~‡

"-Well you look like a melon head!" "Then since we're related that makes you a stupid watermelon head!" October's little brother, Max, and October were at it again. They always fight when put in the same room! Max is a softie in high school, has dark raven hair with a sloppy/tired look to him-basically he looks like your average, sane softie… how tiresome.

We were at October's parents' house because her parents wanted to see Zero-kun. Yuuki and I just saw a picture of a younger Zero and Ichiru; October was standing in between them with linked arms. Yuuki was memorizing the pic. I, on the other hand, was studying the Zero then and now, "How can you look so adorable back then and such an ass now?" I teased with a wicked grin before gaining a smack to the back of my head. "Owie daddy, October smacked me!" I cried as I cradle my head. "You're such-" "No, not you Chaotic; you're more like a mom, I'm now forced to call the Chairman dude 'dad', and October's more like a bearded lady!" Everyone burst out laughing; some of Zero's and the Chairman dude's food flew from their mouths. Priceless. October, on the other hand, looked like she wanted to strangle me. I high-fived Max, before taking shelter behind their father. By the way, this was at lunch time. She just picked up a bowl of mash potatoes when her mom freaked out on her, hah sucker, "October Alexandria Miller-Heiwa! Put down those potatoes right now, young lady!" Then Max whispered over to me, "Since when did she ever become a lady?" That little remark made milk go up my nose. Once I had pizza go up my nose; hurt like a motherfucker.
