Quitters never win

Chapter 11

               Thursday Tyler and i were sitting at my table going through our home work. I heaved a sigh. "What?" He asked looking at me. "What is up with you?" I asked. "What do you mean?" He asked. "Katie your new girlfriend!" I said. "I don't get what your question is." He shrugged.

               "You said you liked me but now your dating another girl." "I just need time. I told you that." He said. "Oh yea you just forgot to mention time with other girls." I said. "I thought it was understood." "You are such a jerk. You got mad at me for going out with Ryan. So you are allowed to date other people while you figure it out but i can't. Double standard much?" I asked.

        My mom walked in with my Halloween costume on her arm. "You left this out in your car sweetie i didn't want it to get ruined." "That's your costume!?" He asked his eyes getting big as he looked at the tiny fabric. I smiled at him. "Yea." I said.

       We were having a big Halloween dance at school Friday. "What are you going as?" I said taking my tinker bell costume from my mom. I was mad but i wanted to know what he was going as. "Uh...Captain Jack Sparrow." He said swallowing hard. "And Katie?" I asked. "A witch." He said.

        "Not surprising one bit." I said rolling my eyes. "Speaking of, we need to come up with our Dracula skit." He said. "Oh I'm sorry are we still working together?? I thought you were getting a new partner?" I asked. "Well i tried Ms. Vale said no." He said. 

       "Oh poor you." I said "I've already thought of some ideas." He said ignoring my comment. "Ok like what?" I said. "Well i pretend to be a rich guy, and somewhat famous. So you are awed by my presence." He said.

       "Right. And then?" I asked. "Well i invite you for a ride in my limo and you've never been in one so you say ok. Once I'm in I'll lean in real slow like I'm going to kiss you and at the last second turn my head." He continued.

        "Ok that sounds like it could work." I said. "Ok so lets just make it up as we go and when we find something we like we'll go with it." "Ok." I said standing up. He did his little pimp walk. I wanted to laugh but was mad at him so i didn't. 

       "Hey sexy thing." He said winking at me. "Hi i think i know you." I said smiling. I pulled the skirt up i was wearing to show some leg. I figured if he was a good looking rich man I'd try to get his attention. I could hear him breathing heavy...good actor. "Want to go for a ride?" He asked. 

       "Well i don't usually take rides from strangers." I said. "You just said you thought you knew me, and i have a limo." He flashed his teeth. "Hm well ok maybe a small ride." I said taking his hand. He led me over to the chairs and we sat down like we were going for a ride. He looked at me and slowly started to lean in. I really really wanted to kiss him. So bad that it physically hurt, almost as if my heart were going to burst out of my chest. 

        He moved my hair from my neck and leaned in to slowly place a kiss on my neck. My whole body shivered. I forgot where i was. "You should like lean back or something i just bit you, it should hurt at least a little bit." He suggested.

         "Well wait, are you going to drain me clean or make me a vampire too? Or are you just taking a little and gonna let me live?" I asked. "I think since i have you in a limo i could drain you clean and nobody would know. And Dracula would do it so why not?" He asked.

        "Yea why keep me around." I said angrily. "Oh come on is this still about Katie?" "Of course it is. But whatever." I picked up my books and shoved them in my bag. "I'll sign your off for your hours i think you should leave." I said standing up to give him a ride home. "Fine lets go then." He said putting his stuff up and walking outside. "This is all you, and you know what else while were at it? Don't let me know when you like me. I don't like you. In fact i don't even want to be your friend anymore." I said. "Come on you don't mean that." He said. "I think i do. I have to protect my heart. I'm sorry." I said.
