Tainted Redemption

Chapter three

Olivia's POV

"You're so childish, and I think you just blinded me," I whine at Tim, giving him a scowl as my lips tugged downwards.

He tried to inspect my eye he just bombarded with a snowball, I slap his hand lightly away.

He grimaced as he took my probably reddened eye in, "I'm sorry, it wasn't on purpose." he apologized quickly, I huff, blinking because it became teary, "And we're having fun," he teased, I jut his shoulder back playfully before I tackled him down since I caught him off guard and dig his head on the snow while squealing and laughing at him as we're getting covered with snow that's freezing us and make a mess round us.

We've been playing around my front yard like little kids for an hour now. Since it is weekend we were going to forget about assignments, we did them during the week so our weekend was there to relax, sleep and have fun. We both are wearing matching beanies. We were without coats, I was only in sweats and a thin violet jumper, Tim in dark jeans and brown jumper, since we were actually just hanging out in my house as I felt lonely as my mum had afternoon shift, until we chased each other which led us outside.

"Don't look but there's Ms. Michaelson, scowling from her window at us," Tim whispered to me, I giggle at that.

"She really hates when neighbours make noise," Go figure, old lady hates the younger ones who have joy in life.

"Are you sure she's not a vampire?" he quite seriously muttered up to me. I was practically laying on him and holding him down by his wrists that were caged by my hands.

"You watch too much Vampire Diaries,"

"As if it wasn't you the one who got me hooked to it first, you forced me to watch it in a movie marathon with you, you used your baby-blue eyes to manipulate me along with your pouting, I had no choice, " he defensively bit back then scoffed, "But I'm serious. I tried to google her and..." he paused for dramatic effect, eyes widen, eyebrows up, "Nada, níente. It's like she's too old to be held in archives." he said in a creepy voice.

"Are you seriously considering that she's a vampire? That's too much craziness even for you." I scold with a fond smile. He's the nerdy friend with crazy ideas, and I can proudly say he's my best friend. He brought small dozens of normality back in my life. When I thought I was being a burden to him he would put a sarcastic come back, saying he was utterly hurt and offended that I would think like that. He reminds me of Louis sometimes. Besides that Louis turned out to be a fake friend, so how do I know he wasn't acting nice, like his leader?

He's offended, again, "Oh, yeah? Why doesn't she come out in daylight then?" He hissed, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Maybe she's allergic or gets sun-burned quickly." I push some of my hair behind my ear.

"What about the bats on her house's roof?" he raised an eyebrow, and I really hadn't a good come back to that. But to my defence, Tim is wanting to major as a lawyer, "Aha! You have no answer." he said loudly, I shush him, "I also think I saw some fangs in her mouth-"

"Okay, now you are making it up. We should get inside, the cold is freezing the logical part of your brain." I cut him off and take handfuls of snow and press it in his face. "Take this, crazy mofo." I shriek with a high pitched voice.

"Okay, calm down, Rambo. I think this was enough of playing for today, the youth of today are rebels and lazy, good for nothing, I swear. " Tim said, trying to mimic an old man, in a smoky and growly voice as he shuddered, trying to get me off of him, after laughing at his silliness, I smile in victory. He stood up and helped me on my feet as well.

"I won," I cheekily expressed, wiggling my eyebrows.

"No, you didn't. I just showed mercy because you almost started to press on the gland water that's your eyes when I hit you accidently," he glared at me as I scoffed, " It was an accident." he emphasized, "Anyway, then you attacked me when I was about to defend my theory that Ms. Michaelson is a vampire."
