Jake is the most popular guy in school. But when he has to live to live with his father his life changes forever.
Meet vic. The most invisible person ever. She never answers questions in class and loves to sit in the back of the classroom. Literall...
... Jake Its like half 9. In the last hour and a half I've done a lot . Like almost everything i was supposed to do in a year in America.
Luckily no one was in the showers when i got there. So i got in and out quickly. Adam and Will have been teasing me all morning ever since i got back from the medical wards. Saying crap like 'what were you and vic doing?' And 'Ooh vic luckily we're alone.' All these in stupid voices and kissy faces. And occasionally acting as me and vic. Not gonna lie. They'd make a cute couple.
I sit on the sofa and watch Adam and Aubrey 'act out' my and Vic's supposed conversation the the ward once she regained consciousness. Its pathetic. I kinda prefer Adam and Will now. Im a great friend.
"Hey guys, I'm meeting Lola don't burn my belongings or the dorm whilst I'm gone. Ok?" Will says checking his phone. AGAIN.
"Sure." Adam replies before continuing the 'show'
I stand up to block Wills path so he notices me. "Really after ya know. You're still dating?"
Will looks at me. His eyes a darker shade than normal, his face expressionless. "Yes. Lola means the world to me. And besides. Everyone deserves a second chance." He looked possessed for a moment before being usual Will again.
"A bit robotic but if you're sure." Will leaves the dorm and i turn back to Dumb and dumber. "Time check!!" I yell at them.
Aubrey looks at her new watch she loves showing off only because Adam bought it. "9 45." She says.
"Ok I'm going. Same rules. No burning or destroying property. And if yous smash at least lock the door and put a tie on the handle." I say.
"No promises. We might just forget about the tie and want everyone to hear." Aubrey giggles.
"Whatever." I say shutting the door behind me.
... I head to vic's dorm. Ive never been so paranoid. What if shes had another episode? Wait is it like panic attacks? Or epilepsy? Was it triggered? A million and one questions are running through my mind.
Im about to knock in the door when i hear a cough from behind be. Not like when you've got sommet stuck in your throat but when you want someone attention like a 'huh huh'
I turn around and vic is there. In a stunning dress, the green made her beautiful eyes stand out. Especially the violet.
I stand there gazing for a moment too long.
"I wouldn't go in there. Will came over so I've been stood here. Next to the vending machine." Of cause like 3 seconds ago.
"Ok. Wow hi. You look amazing. Like wow." I say perfectly no stutter at all. Her presence doesn't make me feel inferior to her beauty. Or like ima melt for no reason other than shes there.
"Thanks. I mean your jeans and a T-shirt aren't too bad either."
"Oh yeah. I didn't uhh know we were getting dressed up otherwise I'd have chosen a shirt." I say starting to sweat.
"You? Own a shirt?" Vic almost laughs.
"Well I'm surprised you have a dress. Not that you don't suit it i mean you look stunning not that you don't all the time. Im talking a lot I'm kinda nervous but I'm trying to say you.."
I get cut off by Vic kissing me on the cheek. I can feel my face heat up. It's obviously noticeable since vic laughs a bit. Not humiliated by my burning face right now.
... We got to the restaurant by 10. It was the nicest restaurant id ever been in. Or even seen.
"What do we do with our shit? I mean our coats?" I whisper talk to vic.
"I don't know. Just wait to be served." She giggles.
5 minutes later a server type guy comes over to us. "Hello how may i help you?" He asks.
"Uhh. We'd like a table please." I say. Vic holding on to my arm. Which is super cute.
"Do you have a reservation?"
"No. Do we need one?" I ask starting to panic.
"Yes but luckily for you two. We have a spare table one of our couples phoned up cancelling."
"Thanks. So much." I say.
He leads the way i can hear him muttering something about stupid Americans?
I let it slide over my head i mean the most perfect woman was holding onto my arm so gorgeously, as me and vic take a seat at a table. Vic seems in awe of how expensive it looks.
We sit down and i take a look at the menu. Surprisingly nothing is overpriced. I order a mixed grill whilst vic decides she wants something else. So she orders
"the spaghetti bolognaise with no meat just vegetables please. And would you be able to add more peppers and onions?" The waiter writes down the order and nods. "Thank you so much." Vic says before turning to me again.
"No meat?" I don't know why i was surprised. I just was.
"Yeah. Im actually vegetarian, not many people know that. The only other person i told was princess mary that was. Gosh. Years ago now. Shes probab.." vic stops herself.
"I haven't heard of her. Was she named after that princess of England like the past or something." I ask paying attention to every perfect detail of vic. Her eyes were almost glowing, her hair in a perfect braid.
"Uhh, its what i used to call my friend when i was 14. Years ago now. Can barely remember 1980 never mind 20's." She pauses. "Shit."
"Wait so your like what 80+20 thats a hundred the plus 14 plus 2. Wait. You're one hundred and sixteen?" I ask my mouth almost on the floor.
"One hundred and fifteen. But it. Its a secret. So shut up." She hisses at me.
I sit there astonished. "How? The book mentioned something about how only vampires are immortal."
She sighs giving in. "My father created an elixir it makes us immortal. Well he thought that until i aged. Four years in a day. So technically I'm 18. Then he discovered that if we don't take the elixir yearly. All the years will catch up and kill us even if we've only had it one year. I aged as a warning. I. I was his experiment. And it triggered my powers. And once he. Once he found out he abandoned me." Vic starts crying. The memories obviously weighing too much.
And. It just kills me.
