Two weeks have past. Tori stopped bothering me which surprised me. But I was glad, I was tired of her. The only new thing is, Mallory hanging out with me, sometimes Phoenix or as I call him, Nix joins us. It was weird. Normally those two would be with the popular.
"Hey Phoenix, wanna have some fun?" One of the girls from the cheer squad asked him.
"I'm busy. And I don't like easy girls like yourself, now scram." Nix told her. She stormed off.
I giggled. "Didn't think you would reject her."
"I'm not into easy girls." He replied while still reading his book.
We were in the school garden. Mallory was taking a little nap by a tree. And I was left with Mr. Few words. His answers are, yes, no, maybe, and many more.
"So what's your type." I asked while opening my chocolate bar.
He set the book down and looked at me.
"I'm not into anyone. I don't do love and all relationship crap." He replied and then went back to his book.
But me being me decided to poke just a bit more. "Did you got hurt? Usually that's why people stop believing in love."
"No one hurt me, I just don't. To me is all just fun no feelings involve. Now please stop asking about this." With that said, he left.
Well, this is what I get for being nosy. But this would be the first time we have a long well sort of long conversation.
"Pay no attention to him. He was indeed hurt in the past. He hates anything love related." Mallory told me while sitting next to me.
"Yeah, but still is sad that he has given up on love." I replied.
"It won't always be like this." She smiled.
"What, you can see the future?" I giggled.
"I wish." She sighed as I chuckled.
........
We were now on our last class. Which was English. It's my favorite subject.
"I will leave an English assigment that will be in a group of three." The teacher told us.
After many names and me praying to be in a group of people like me, you know invisible. I got stuck with the Carter's twins. I'm good with Mallory but Phoenix, he wasn't thrilled he was a little angry. Then again, he is always serious.
"Is there a way for me to do this alone?" I asked.
"Of course you would say that, you loser." Marie, one of the popular girls said. Everyone started to laugh. Except Mallory and Phoenix.
"Watch that mouth of yours. One day it might get you killed." Phoenix told Marie. She immediately shut up.
"Calm down everyone. And to answer your question, no miss, Bradshaw. You will have to work in the group I already said." He answered.
After class was over I went to my locker.
"Is there a reason why you don't want to work with us? We're not dumb." Mallory told me.
"It wasn't because of that. It's just, your brother seemed angry and he already hates me." I whispered. She chuckled.
"Well he can suck it. Call your parents and tell them we're going to work on this assigment at my house." She told me.
"So, me fighting it wont work?"
She gave me a look and I sighed. I swear sometimes I feel like I'm being controlled.
I called my parents and they let me go. Mallory told me she would drive my car and that left me to ride with Nix. I think she does this on purpose.
"Uhm- sorry about earlier."
"Its fine." He replied while his eyes were still focus on the road.
I didn't say anything else. I feel if I do he will throw me out of the car. The man is extremely intimidating.
After a 30-minute drive. We arrived. I got out of his car and made a run to where Mallory was. I could hear him laughing. The house was crazy gorgeous and really big, I would say it's a mansion.
"So, how was your ride?" She gave me a cheeky smile.
"If killing was legal you would be long gone." I sighed as she chuckled.
"You'll be fine. My brother needs a girl like you. He's too serious."
"Your brother hates me. And I don't see him in that way. And he doesn't see me that way either." I whispered.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night." She giggled as she walk to the front door.
We entered their house and it was really beautiful. One word to describe it, luxury.
"Let's go to the study room. The faster we finish this, the better." Mallory told us.
"Wow, this place is beautiful. Like your own personal library." I said admiring the view.
"You're welcome to visit us it anytime. We got better books than the public library. Just text before coming." Phonix told me.
One minute he's being a jerk and the next sort of nice.
"What if I come unannounced?" I asked while walking around.
Within seconds, I felt Phoenix behind me. "You might get a surprise."
I shivered just by having him behind me. The way he whispered those things in my ear made me weak on the knee.
"I-I need to go pee." I made a run to the bathroom.
"Seriously? And you tell me you dont like her." Mallory rolled her eyes at him.
"I don't. I just enjoy teasing her." He smirked.
"Do me a favor and don't play with her. She's a good girl that somehow got involved with us."
"You were the one who befriend her. I made her forget about me. I had no intentions but now that the Montenegro's know that I killed one of them, he might target her." He answered her
"Excuses, excuses. He could not know since you killed him." She told him.
"Yeah, but better safe than sorry. They could have someone spying on us. And since you befriend her."
"Whatever you say, but you and I know you like this girl. You have to let go of Serena."
"No one will ever replace her. Serena was so pure and innocent. She didn't deserve to die." He said with so much anger.
"You're right. But you need to move on. You're my twin and I want you to be happy again. You're not happy anymore and I miss that part of you."
I made my way to the study room and found it empty. How long was I in the bathroom hiding? This is why I prefer to work alone.
I entered the study room and took a seat at a desk and took my stuff out. This is why I wanted to work alone, they all expect me to do everything.After thirty minutes of working on the assigment. Someone entered the room. "Hello dear. You must be Seraphina. It's so good to finally meet you." A woman who appeared to be in her 40's told me."Nice to meet you too. By the resemblance you're the twins mother." I said as we shook hands."I'm Ryane Carter." She smiled. "You must be really hungry. Come with me."I followed her to the backyard where Nix and Mallory were. I sat in front of Mallory, while Nix was next to her. Ryane gave me a sandwich and a bottle of orange juice. She left after that; said she had a meeting."So, uhm. I finished half of the assigment." I mentioned before eating my sandwich."You didn't have to." Mallory told me."Its fine. It's not the first time I'm doing an assigment by myself." I shrugged."No one asked you to do it alone. The assigment isn't due tomorrow. I
It's been a month. Mallory and Phoenix did helped with the assignment and we all got the highest grade. Although Phoenix wasn't talking to me much. It was just, hi, bye and that's about it."Does your brother hate me that much?" I asked Mallory while grabbing some stuff from my locker."He doesn't hate you. Give that tool time." She answered. "Does it bother you that he doesn't talk to you?""A little. I just feel like I did something wrong and that's why he hates me and barely talks to me." I sighed."You overthink things. Chill, Sera." She told me while pinching my cheeks. "Patience is key." She took a deep breath and then exhale it."If you say so." I mumbled.Just as we were about to go to our class. A new girl walked in and everyone's eyes were staring at her. She walked in like she owned the place. She was really beautiful. She was walking towards our way."Hi." She smiled. "I was wondering if you two could help me find the principal's office.""I can show you the way there." Ph
But nothing happened. All I saw was the crazy on the floor passed out."Sh- she had fangs, red eyes." I was reaching out for air. "SHE LICKED MY BLOOD.""Seraphina, calm down."I saw red eyes. I was going insane. "This doesn't exist. It just belongs in books and movies." I held my head like those people who are going mad when things just don't make sense.When I saw my blood dripping from my arm, the room started to spin. I can't see blood. Makes me dizzy."Stay with me." I heard voices in the background far away. And before I knew it, I fainted.......PhoenixI took her home. I couldn't take her to hers since she saw everything and I need to compel her to forget. She can't handle the truth. Cause for her, this is a scary truth. She isn't ready just yet."Brother dear, you'll need to remove that bracelet she's carrying. Otherwise compulsion won't work." Mallory told me."What? How do you know this?" Mom asked her."Well, I've been able to read her thoughts, but today's impossible sin
On my way out, I was stopped. "Here." Mallory gave me my bracelet back. "Are you mad?""At your brother yes. You, I'm not sure. I mean you didn't tell me the truth. And where is that girl?""She's going to be tortured for a while. And I really wanted to tell you. But you weren't ready for it.""Well, make sure she suffers a lot." I grabbed her hand, "I'm not mad at you, you're my only real friend who happens to be a vampire." I chuckled as she did too.She led me where my car was and we said goodbye. I need a bath and just relax. It's been a crazy day........I arrived home and was met by my little sister jumping in my arms."I missed you." She hugged me."I missed you too.""Let's go out for some ice cream and cupcakes." She squealed."Little princess, no sweets for you today." Mom told her"Mommy, it was an accident." She pouted."Because flushing your father's phone was an accident?" Mom questioned her.I laughed."Daddy said it was useless." She replied while hugging my leg."No,
The next day I went with Ariel to the ice cream place. Do you have any idea how a four year old gets when they want their sugar. Especially when you promise."I want all of them." She giggled."Cute." The guy from the counter said."Thanks. She just loves ice cream.""She's cute, but I was actually referring to you." He smiled."She's taken." I turned to see Mallory."Hey, I remember you. We had amazing sex last week. I'm free this weekend." He smirked.She got closer to him and said, "forget everything about me we never met. And don't hit on her."It's a good thing no one was looking our way and that there wasn't anyone behind us. Ariel was busy looking at the ice cream flavors.He took our orders and we went to sit at a booth."Really?""He's a di-" she stopped when she realized there was a four year old with us."A womanizer. He is good for fun and drinking his cranberry juice. So red I love it.""Cranberry is eew." Ariel said while covering her mouth. We chuckled."Sometimes. Depe
After our movie night, he left. He didn't even try to kiss me. Instead, his lips went to my forehead. I was left confused. Did I say something wrong?The next day at school I went to his locker and found him talking to another girl. Okay no biggie, It's not like we're dating."Hey Phoenix.""Hey." He said simply."Can I ask-""Sorry, but we have an assignment to finish." The girl said before dragging him away.I guess everything we talked yesterday is water under the bridge. Well, two can play that game."You okay?" Mallory asked."Peachy." I replied before leaving.She sighed, "I thought everything went well. I swear my brother is confusing.".......PhoenixLola dragged me to an empty classroom and took out her books."Pull that stunt one more time and I'll make sure you don't breathe anymore." I told her."Don't threaten me. My daddy is super powerful and he can send you to jail."I laughed. I swear this girl is delusional."Listen. We don't like each other. But I do need good grad
I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck."I behaved like an asshole this morning. I'm afraid I will hurt you. After Serena I've been afraid to get close to anyone. But you were the only one I couldn't stay away from.""I was jealous today, so Jason helped me out, to make you feel jealous. Which apparently worked." I giggled.He pressed his forehead against mine. I saw his eyes turned red. "I'm craving to feel your lips. To bite you. Why are you so addictive." His raspy voice emerged."Bite me" I told him without missing a beat."Are you sure?""I trust you." I caressed his beautiful face."Before I get to that, I want to do this."He crashed his lips against mine. I've never kissed anyone, I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, but I guess I will go with the flow and follow his lead. I wrapped my arms around his neck as his arms rested on my waist pulling me impossible closer as he deepened the kiss. His lips felt so good. I didn't realized how much I craved them till now.Hi
Saturday arrived and I get ready for my date. I was wearing a sundress, flats and a headband. Once I was ready. My little sister walked into my bedroom."You look nice Sissy. Have fun." She hugged my leg."Thank you, I will." I gave her a hug and then I received a text from Nix telling me he was outside.I went outside and got in his car. He greeted me with a mind blowing kiss."Well, that's one way of saying hi." I said as he chuckled."My way is better." He smirked.After a 15-minute drive, he blindfolded me. Not sure why, I already been to his house. He guided me to our destination."Alright, take it off." And that's what I did."Wow!""Welcome to Mystic Lake." He said while interlacing our fingers. They fitted so well."I thought you didn't do romantic stuff."The lake was so beautiful, water so clear you could see your reflection there."I packed lunch." He told me while showing me picnic basket.We walked near the lake and he put a cloth on the grass and then put the basket ther
