The Curious Ones

Boy's

Saphyra's POV:

The rest of the day was uneventful and pretty boring if I'm being honest. I walk to my locker and throw some books I got from my Chemistry class and art class. I shut my locker and turn around.

I jump when I see a random guy standing basically on top of me. "Can I help you?" I question nicely. He smiles at me with his bright white teeth. He has shaggy blonde hair and gray eyes. He looks like he plays on some sport here since he's wearing a Letterman jacket. 

"Hi I'm Bradly I'm in your Art class." he says smiling. I smile and start walking down the hallway heading towards the front door. "I'm Saph." I say sending him a small smile. He walks silently with me til we head outside. 

"I was wondering what you were doing this weekend." he asks stopping and staring at me in the eyes. I sigh mentally and think of a lie. "My parents and I are unpacking the rest of the house this weekend. You know since my dad works here and my moms busy writing we figured we would wait for the weekend and do it as a family." I say moving my keys in my hands awkwardly. "My mom likes to do things as a family" I add a small laugh at the end so I think my mom is crazy. 

He nods "Oh well maybe another time then." His smile falters a little but grows into a grin when I give him a small nod. He waves bye as I fast walk to my car. I get into my car before anyone else stops me. 

I sigh and run my fingers through my coarse hair. I glance up as I feel someone looking at me and make eye contact with Jameson. We hold eye contact until he smiles slightly and looks away. I stick the key in the ignition and buckle up. "I wonder how old he claims to be?" I question out loud as I reverse out of my parking spot heading towards the road. 

I soon pull up to my house and see that I beat my dad home. But it isn't a shocker I always beat him home. Sometimes my mom jokes and says that he is married to his job and not her. We always laughs knowing that my dad loves her so much. 

I walk through the door and take my shoes off. I set my stuff by the door and head into the kitchen. I grab an apple and search for my mom. I look in the normal spots her office, the living room, and the garden. They can be outside in the sun because they wear these rings that the council sends them when someone is turned. Or passed down through generations. But mostly from the councils since vampires last forever and rarely die. 

I grab my stuff and decide to do some homework before my mom get's home. When I say makes it she usually just orders take out and puts it on plates before anyone see's. I set my stuff by my desk and head to the bathroom. I change into some sweats and a big shirt that I stole from my dad. The only class that I have homework in is my History class and I did half of it as she was talking. I quickly finish my homework and decide to catch up on some of the reading that is assigned. 

I hear the front door open and set my book down. I run down the stairs and see my mom talking to the entire Gray family. I look down at my outfit and try to sneak out quietly but in a room full of vampires that is impossible. 

"Saphy taffy come here!" My mom exclaims laughing at something Heather said. I walk towards all them and notice Jameson laughing at me or more at the name my mom called me. I roll my eyes and say hi. 

"I forgot to have dinner ready for you." She suddenly exclaims rushing towards the kitchen. I follow after her and so does everyone else. "Mom it's okay I can just run out and grab something really quick." I say She sighs and nods. I reassure her and run up my stairs I grab a pair of my crocs. Yes I own crocs and I love them. I jog back down stairs and grab my keys. Aria stands 

"can I come?" She asks "also Jameson too." She adds right after. I nod and say bye to everyone opening the door waiting for the siblings to join me. I walk to my car and unlock it. I get in the driver seat and Aria climbs in the back leaving Jameson to sit in the front. Well this is going to be awkward I think to myself. 

I buckle up and reverse out of my driveway. I drive down the dirt road trying to remember where the nearest fast food restaurant is. "Take a left up here at the stop sign to get to the main road." Jameson's deep voice breaks the silence. I thank him and do what he says. 

I drive for a little bit and decide that McDonald's is the safe bet. I pull in and get in line. After a couple minutes of silence Aria is the first to break it. "So I saw Bradly talking to you! What did he want?!" She exclaims questioning me. She leans forward and waits for me to answer. 

"He wanted to know what I was doing this weekend." I shrug moving forward in the line. The line is moving painfully slow and it's getting weirder by the second sitting in this car. "Well what did you tell him?" She urges me to go on. 

"I told him I was busy." I say pulling up to the speaker. I order my Big Mac meal with fries and a coke and pull away from the speaker. "WHY DID YOU SAY NO!!!??" Aria exclaims throwing her hands up in the air. I shrug and answer "he isn't really my type." 

"Oh come on Bradly is everyone's type." she rolls her eyes laughing. I smile and laugh with her. "I don't really like blondes." I say looking at her in the rear view mirror. She brings her hand to her heart and pretends to be hurt. "Well that's just rude!" She exclaims falling back in the seat. I see Jameson laughing in the corner of my eye. 

I laugh along with them and pull up to the window and pay. I get my food soon after and I head back towards my house. "Wait can we make a pit stop?" Aria questions I nod and she points me to this little boutique down the road from where we were. I pull in and she jumps out saying she will be back soon. 

I decide to eat my food and wait for Aria to come back out. Jameson is staring at his phone like he has been. I decide to ask him a question since I know my family and his are gonna be together a lot. "So how old are you?" I say taking a bite of my sandwich. He puts his phone away and looks at me for the first time since we got in the car. 

"Wouldn't you like to know." He says laughing quietly. I roll my eyes "Well yeah I asked the question so I kinda do wanna know." I say taking a sip of my drink. "I'm 562" he says looking out the window staring at Aria grabbing handfuls of clothes. "How old were you when you stopped ageing?" I question curiously. "21" he says plainly looking at me in the eyes. I smile feeling a blush creep up my neck. 

I shake the feeling away and look towards the window seeing Aria come out with 5 bags full of random things I know she probably doesn't need. I hear Jameson sigh as I press the button to open the trunk. I laugh and he joins in "More clothes for her to never wear" he mentions looking back at his sister. I laugh and nod as aria gets in the back seat smiling brightly.

I reverse and head towards my house. "Do you want me to drop you guys off at your house?" I look at both of them for an answer. They both nod and I head past my house and find the tiny dirt road that I took just a day ago and pull up to their house. Aria jumps out and Jameson stays sitting. 

"Thanks" he says smiling lightly before getting out of the car and helping his sister carry her things inside. I smile and head back towards my house. I pull in behind my moms car and see that my dad is home now. 

I take a moment in my car and replay the whole situation with Jameson. I smile and realize I've been sitting outside for 10 minutes now. I grab my trash and get out. I lock my door and head inside knowing I need to bring up the text messages I got today.
