Not One In Eight

7. Vampire

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, this is bad. Really bad, I mean they saw me and Maya yelled out, wait what. But that doesn't make any sense. Why would she yell out that? Vampires don't exist but if they thought Vampires did, wouldn't that mean that, no it can't be.

They're vampires, aren't they? But how, how could it be, vampires don't exist. I mean they do in books and the hearts and minds of many around the world but not in real life. If they did even exist and the Blake family was a group of vampires, there is no way they would mistake me for a vampire.

I'm not pretty-

"Oomph." I said crashing into someone, who apparently was also deep in thought. And the person I bumped into was none other than the boy who broke Danni's heart. Well I mean, so I heard from the tree.

"Hi Finnen." I said strongly which surprised me. But I'm a sucker for things that involve men breaking women's hearts. What can I say? I have seven sisters and I young mom. I deal with that kind of stuff all the time.

"Hay Emmalie. Sorry I bumped into you, it was totally my fault." he said to me

"No it was my fault, I should have been more careful. I was just in "La La Land" (a song in my school's talent show. The girl sang it and it was amazing). So what's up?"

"Would you like to eat lunch with me? I'm fighting with Danni and every else took her side so they deserted me. On a deserted island of piranha girls. If no one sits with me they will attack, that's not the only reason though. I think you're cool. I really want to get to know you." He said looking into my eyes.

"Actually-"I started but someone tapped on my shoulder. I turned around to the sight of David's Killer's t-shirt clad chest.

He smiled softly and looked down. He was embarrassed and it was so cute. I mean he is so shy. He had innocence in his eyes.

"David, hi." I said and he smiled. He gave me a note.

Do you want to sit with me?

It's fine if you don't.

Just thought it'd be cool.

-David

"I would love to but Finnen asked me to." I said when he scowled at Finn and beamed at me motioning me to give him the paper. Quickly he wrote a new note.

How about we sit together?

I don't mind

I want to talk to about something.

It includes Finn.

-David

"Okay I'll just tell-"I started when Finn growled, but he looked too calm to have. I can't actually be sure it was him.

"I asked first. You'll sit with me Emmalie, right?" he said with, just barely but if you listened closely enough, a hint of pleading in his voice and I felt bad, just a bit. Actually I did until he grabbed my arm. I tripped him and did a triple axel flip, like a monkey.

Both looked surprised at my agility. I have had a whole lot of steroid test and they were ALL false. There were a whole lot of cheer moms didn't like the fact that I was the best. I am just monkey amazing. They stared and I just shrugged my shoulders.

"What can I say? I was ranked number one gymnast in the world. Plus I was the number one cheerleader. But one quick fact about me before I leave, don't mess with me. I sit with one of you or both of you. All right?"

"All right." They said in union. So I smiled at them and started to walk away. I suddenly stopped and turned around.

"See you two at lunch." I said with a genuine smile and walked away. At least they didn't argue, which I knew they wouldn't. They are just as bad as my sisters.

Braehn and I together, at the same table. Emmalie would make it worthwhile though. How am I going to explain it to the gang? Just as long as Fay-Fay doesn't accuse me of taking sides. I told everyone I am Switzerland. Finn is my brother and Danni is one of my best friends. I don't want to get in the middle of another lover's quarrel, the last time I did, Heath cliff and Cathy ended up never speaking again.

But I am kind of excited I mean Emmalie wants to sit with me. To these high school kids, that is major. Some are worthy of lunch but some are just worthy of note passing and the occasional wave or polite "hello". I am not the latter but the first one.

I do hope that Jody sits with us though. I mean I always thought that she was sweet. If I'd been normal I might have wanted to sit with her. Before Emmalie came I always hoped she'd make a friend and now she has. I always knew she was cool.

But anyway I have some pretty big problems, I think Finn is in love with Emmalie, he'd never even talked to Danni like that. With such a soft expression and kind words and such a pleading tone. He doesn't ask, just takes. But that's not the worst part or maybe the part of this situation. I think I'm in love with her too. And this very thing could tear my brother and I apart.

The bell rang and I quickly walked to class and I was making great time until I bumped into someone or really a group of someones, the Hart girls and by, for some reason unknown to me, they were ticked. And what I've learned from my sisters and Maya, ticking a girl off is bad. So when that happens, run for your life. All hell has broken loose.
