Eve’s P.O.V

‘Great, he has been here for three days and he has run into trouble, snap. Life goes on I guess. That moment when Jake walked in last night, it was one of the worst of my life. Since Claire and Michael had me all three of us roomie’s swear that Jakob could never find out we have been treading as carefully as ever but sometimes these things happen, yanno? Besides, ain’t as though Claire hasn’t been acting strange, we all noticed so surely Jake must have, or is he that idiotic.’

 I stare intently at a piece of ceiling, hoping my endless babbling in my mind will get me to sleep, I mean, it usually does but apparently not today. I feel Michael’s steady breathing next to me, ‘he must be asleep…wait, can vampire’s sleep? Oh shut up, Eve! Think about what to do next. He fainted. We put him back in his bed. These are the facts but we haven’t got anything more to know about. Maybe he will just think it was all a dream. Yeh…when hell freezes over.’ I sigh and turn onto my side, cuddling Michael’s body. ‘Damn, how can this guy be so hot and so cold?’ I think before I actually manage to zone out.

Now let me just make it clear that waking up in the morning is not something I tend to do. Long story short, I am not a morning person…unless I have about nine gazillion coffees down my neck. This morning I wake up. At 7am. No. I refuse. Wait. Jakob.

Without a second thought I leap out of the covers, not taking care to land. Owch, I land in a heap on the carpet with a ‘umph’. I hate life. I quickly stand up and bursh myself off to see Michael staring at me, smirking. A cute little frown works its way on to my face. “Watchu smirking at?” I ask before flipping him off and getting quickly dressed. I choose some pitch black tights with purple smiling skulls and a dark purple top, followed by a matching scarf, hey can you blame me? Last night did happen.

I look up to see Michael STILL smirking, why do I date him? Oh yeah…he’s hot and well…awesome. 

“Check you out queen goth, why you up so early?” He asks, putting his arms behind his head.

“Dunno, new me.” I say with a wink. I kiss him quickly and jog downstairs, getting a quick drink of coffee. I chug it, scolding my mouth just as Jakob walks down the stairs wearing pyjama bottoms and a top. Letting out a yawn only a guy could muster, he ruffles his hear and gives me a smile. Which I reply, perhaps a little too quickly. When he turns I sigh with relief, he did think it was a dream.

"I’m going” See you at dinner.” I call to him before grabbing my keys and jumping in my car.

This ride is uneventful. ‘Boring’ I think to myself before stopping at a red light. The sun hasn’t properly come up yet however it is trying it’s best to make a start. It resembles me. Hard to wake but beautiful when I do! I smile at my thought, I AM THE SUN. Ah the light is green! I set off again and soon reach the school. Parking up, I get out and clunk my way over to my work station in the cafeteria. It’s still pretty early so no one else is here.

 ‘I’m opening up alone today, gosh I feel so lonely. Awesome! I just realised both alone and lonely have ‘lone’ in them! That is pretty amazing…’ I think to myself whilst putting chairs down. I turn around to find a shadow sat in one of the corners. I narrow my eyes slightly trying to adjust them to the eerie darkness. It stands up and makes an entrance by running towards me, fast as light. I shriek and throw a chair before running into the back room. Slamming the door shut I turn and look through the window to see my brother’s face, happily smirking back at me. Wait..
