Red in Tooth And Claw

 Chapter 3: Red in Tooth And Claw

Stephanie’s Point Of View

The first couple days of school weren’t very interesting. It was like our normal routine at school where I either stood quietly next to Adam when he was with his friends or I was alone. It wasn’t that Adam ignored me or was ashamed to be seen with me in public, actually I was the one who felt embarrassed for him. I was the lame quiet “emo” girl that everyone thought would turn out to be a serial killer. I didn’t mind  not having any friends because in a way I felt like I didn’t need any friends. All I needed was Adam. Hearing that in mind made me realized how creepy that sounded. It’s not that I haven’t tried either.

 I tried having girl friends but they all tried to get at Adam at the end so I quit trying to make girlfriends, Adam didn’t like it when I hung out with any other guys, even Jackson at times. He was slightly possessive but I didn’t really mind since it was a vice versa thing. That dream kept reoccurring and it started to get worst since I finally had to go home and sleep by myself. I hated that. I’m so use to him sleeping with me I can’t if he’s not there or I have really bad nightmares. Even though he lives like ten minutes away, most nights he’ll sneaks in through my window  with his inhuman strength but he hasn’t tried all week. Remembering that I asked curiously, “Why haven’t you gone over to my house the last couple of days?”

“I don’t want your parents yelling at us because I’m there all day.” he lied straight through his teeth. I frowned because when ever he lied, his shoulder has a quick spasm. I went along and scoffed. “Them mad at you? Never. They practically thank Jesus I’m still with you everyday! Besides it’s not like they’re ever home to notice.” I grumbled, scrunching my face up. As much as it hurt saying it, it was true. They always mutter they don’t know how I’ve tied Adam to someone like me. And they’re nearly never home since my mom is a doctor at the local hospital and my dad is a CEO at some place or something. He doesn’t like it when me or Lizzy, my twin sister get involved with his work. “It’s not like Lizzy would bother us either. She’s never home either.” Lizzy, my sister, is my fraternal twin that if you don’t know what that means, it means we don’t look the same. 

Actually we look quite the opposite. I have super curly black licorice hair that if I stand in direct sun, it looks like I have natural blue-purple highlights. Lizzy on the other hand has naturally straight hair that is so light blonde, her hair looks white. She has sea blue eyes while I have Jade green eyes. She’s five minutes older and Adam would always tease me that she was prettier then me when we where younger. The fact that my parents show her so much affection and praise her no matter what she does is the reason I have a low self esteem. Even Adam would until one day I cracked and had a melt down in 5th grade. Since then he never teased me about how different we look. “I might come over tonight.” he finally said as we walked to class.

The rest of the day went on also normal except people tended to stare at me more then usual or they would give me a dirty smirk like they knew something I didn’t know. It made me feel uncomfortable. I sat with Adam in the classes we had together and sat in a corner when I didn’t have classes with him deep in my thoughts. That’s how the first couple of weeks lasted until one fateful Friday. 

“STEPHANIE YOU RACHET ASS GET THE F*CK UP!” Lizzy yelled as she began to squirt me with a bottle of water. I sat up as I sheltered myself with my hands. “What the hell Lizzy? Why isn’t Adam here?” I asked confused as to why she was in my room and not Adam. Even when I don’t stay the night at his or him at mine, every morning he comes to wake me up and gives me a ride to school. Even though I have my own truck that I  bought with my own paychecks after working as the local veterinarian‘s assistant. Adam didn’t like my truck since she’s kind of old and breaks down once in a while but she gets me where I want and has nice A/C which is all that counts. “I don’t know and don’t really care. I just woke you up cause mom told me to. You got ten minutes to get to school. Ciao.” she waved as she left my room.
