Morganville Vampires: New Mayor

Chapter 5

Michael's P.O.V.

Claire and Eve went into the kitchen to prepare dinner and me and Shane were pounding some zombies, and of course as usual he was winning. He paused the game and went to the fridge and got a couple of cans. He was about to restart the game when I asked, "Shane is everything ok, you seemed really distant this morning."

"I told you," he replied' "I was just thinking about tomorrow morning."

"Come on Shane," I reasoned, "you may have fooled Eve with that one but I've known you a long time and I can tell when something's wrong."

"Look," he said, "don't laugh but I was thinking of applying for mayor."

"Come on mate," I said, " you, mayor of Morganville, you can't be serious?"

At that point the girls walked in.

Eve's P.O.V.

Me and Claire walked into the living room and I heard Michael say "Come on mate, you, mayor of Morganville, you can't be serious?"

I lost it and burst out laughing, "nice one Shane you really had me for a second."

"I knew you two would react like this," he exclaimed and stormed upstairs.

"Well done," Claire said glaring at the two of us and making for the stairs.

"What, he wasn't joking?" I asked.

"No, he wasn't, and now he's going to have absolutely no confidence." She said with a hint of anger in her voice and ran up the stairs after him.
