The Nerd that turned out to be Vampire-ish [Wattys2015]

CHAPTER 13: Goodbye for now.

Everything happened so fast that I didn't even remember how I ended up in my room, and in my apartment for that matter. I tried to replay the scene after Tristan got on shark mode.

So, I ran, ran as fast as I could and got out of their condo in a speed of light – well I'm partly exaggerating – I didn't even mind all the stares of those people whom I passed. It felt like the whole world had gone on slow motion and I turned out to be flash. Well in my head that's how it turned out.

I took a taxi and-- yeah, so that's how I ended up here. Pretty much normal, it would've been awesome if I run barefooted that would have added more drama, but I hate sweat. Even on desperate times, I still don't want to sweat myself.

I didn't even want to think any more on how or why Tristan acted like that, I actually gave up. My theories were irrelevant. If I want answers then he's the only one who can give me that, but I'm too scared to go near him, for now.

I've stood up to Will who transformed into hulk, and Divina's maleficent alter ego, but Tristan? I turned coward and would love the idea of a shell behind my back to hide from.

I'm still panting for no reason though. I buried my head under my pillow, because I suddenly hated the sight of light. Can the sun sleep for a while? Everything's better in the dark. And, I just turned emo. I sighed. I brushed all my thoughts away and fell asleep instantly.

A knock on the door pulled me out of my dreams, and it wasn't a simple knock, it was Daisy's, or is it? Yes I'm starting to get paranoid. I don't normally ask, but what's to loose.

"Who is it?"

"Do you have to ask?" Daisy's voice rang in the apartment. I feel sorry for our neighbors, to be in the same roof with us, the wild child's.

"What's the password?" I joked. Even though what happened earlier was bothering me, I can't let Daisy sense that.

"Seriously?" She asked and I opened the door.

"Correct." I said to her and she replied stupid, then laughed. "Okay so what's up?" I asked her but she didn't reply, she just stared at me like I'm an alien.

"What's with the get up? That's not your night gown, right?" I looked down. Shit. I forgot to change, my feet is probably still dirty from all the running.

"No. I just tried it on. It's a gift from my aunt." I lied swiftly, and didn't even break eye contact, which is hard when you try to sell a lie.

"Hmmmm." Oh god. I hope she doesn't smell anything fishy, well aside from my now sweaty underarm. "Lucky bitch. Anyways, you still need to get ready? Because were going soon." 

"Where?" I said dumbfounded.

She rolled her eyes. "Did you crack your head or something?" I shook my head, I still don't know what she's talking about. Then she gave up after ten seconds of staring at me, it's a confirmation ritual she does to see if I'm joking or not. "The movies! You know, what we talked about the other night?"

The memory flooded in my head. "Oh yeah."

But I'm not in the mood right now. Should I say that to her? Then she'll have to pry what's going on. So...

"Give me five minutes to wear my ball gown."

"Okay Cinderella. Don't forget your glass slipper." She laughed and closed the door when she left.

"Yes. Fairy godmother." I shouted and then slumped on my bed, sighing heavily.

I went to my closet and took the first shirt and jeans I got my hands on. Luckily, it wasn't a burlap sack. It's a grey V-neck shirt and black skinny jeans. I looked at the mirror and sighed. Damn. I can't fix this face in just a minute. I gave up and decide to just style my hair into a messy ponytail, I didn't even care to brush it. I looked at my shoe rock, and remembered that I left my shoes in their condo. Fuck. So, I have no choice but to wear my old black converse, I think no one would notice that it hasn't been washed for a century.
