Of course Titan's father had to come home from a business trip right after our date. His mom called and said that his father came home so to come back right away. I dropped him off and that was the last i've seen of him. We haven't seen each other all weekend, but it's Monday again. Unfortunately he goes to school, so that's where i'm going. Ugh, the things I do just to see him.

I take a quick shower and put on a dark, purple shirt along with black, high waisted jeans. My shoes didn't really matter, but I slip on my black vans. My hair is in a tight ponytail and I roll up the sleeves to my shirt, so my tattoo can show. It's my favorite one out of all of them. My parents continued to let me use their car, because I lied and said it was so me and Titan can go on another date. They believed it funny enough.

The conversation was awkward though. Dad remembered Titan from before and apologized for kicking him out. Said that "he didn't know he was a vampire because it sounded like he had a heartbeat." All vampires aren't dead. You can drink vampires blood and die to transition or get bit by a high ranked vampire. Like me, if I bit Titan, he wouldn't die but he could transition. That's not happening any time soon. I didn't bother to correct my dad because I want him to actually like Titan and not try to kill him.

The bakery was one of my stops while driving to the school. Titan's mom has me hooked on chocolate chip cookies. What I didn't know, is that she owned the bakery. The cookies did taste familiar. Hm, who would've thought. Surely not me. Making it to the school, I park in an empty spot and walk into the building without a care in the world. Eyes turned to me, like they always did but I just shrug it off.

Seems like they're surprised that I showed up. Yes, I ditched almost everyday but at least I showed up in the beginning. Sometimes. Titan is at his locker and I sneak up behind him before poking him in the side.

"Ow! What?" he turned around and saw me grinning at him, cookies in hand. "You actually showed up today" he says, surprised as well. Well of course I showed up.

"Yeah, I wanted to see you" I say, and lean in to give him a kiss. He backs away from me and looks at the people that still stood in the halls.

"What's wrong?" confusion in my voice.

"Nothing, just don't kiss me. People are staring."

He doesn't want me kissing him because people are looking? They look at us all the time when we're together, why is now any different?

"I can't kiss my boyfriend because people are looking?" I ask, looking at them as well.

"I'm not your boyfriend. We went on one date, that's all" he says, then looks at me with wide eyes. At least he's honest.

"W-wait, I didn't mean that. It's just-" he starts but I cut him off.

"It's okay, you're right. See you later" I say and walk off into our second class of the day. Titan soon comes in and sits beside me. I put in my earphones and turn my music up to the highest volume. Titan looks like he wants to say something, but doesn't. It's like that for the rest of the class and the bell soon rings. About time. Looks like it's time to ditch again.

"Amaria wait," Titan grabs my arm to stop me from walking off. "I didn't mean to say that earlier."

I shrug and take his hand off my arm.

"It's okay, I understand. We're friends and you're not my boyfriend. Have a good day at school" I start to walk off again and make it outside of the building only to be stopped again. I should stop being a bitch, Titan doesn't know about the bond that we supposedly have. I should take things slow, but I can't help being pissed.

"Stop! Listen to me" Titan. Again.

"We went on a date and it was good. We kissed and that was good too, but people already look at me funny because I hang out with you. What would happen if they saw us kiss?"
