Everyone was still miserable when Monday came, you could see it all in their faces, the grief, the sorrow but also the fear. Fear of whoever is out there murdering those close to us, that whoever killed Josh is still out there ready to kill another. They say that whoever killed him ripped his neck open and drained him of just about all the blood in his body, who could be so sick to do that?
The day had gone by quickly with no homework or tests the teachers didn't want to put too much on us, but warned that it wouldn't last forever and that we would soon receive our end of the week tests. Mr. Williams was just finished telling us about the memorial that was going to be held next week in honour of our long lost friend when our counselor, Ms. Atwater interrupted him briefly to introduce the new student who would be joining our class. Like the last time a new student came i didn't bother on looking, but from the all gasps and the sudden chatter from the horn bitches in the room it didn't take much to guess he was a true hotty. So i sneaked a peek and oh my he was gorgeous. I couldn't keep my mouth from dropping, it was like he was a Calvin Klein model cut right out of the magazine and now in front of me saying something inaudible in my current state of shock.
"huh?" i shake myself out of the tight hold he had on my mind.
"i said, is this seat taken?" he smirked seeing that he had me so far gone. i looked beside me to see ooo there's a chair, when did that chair get there? and it how long has it been open? who was it that sat there?
"so is it open?" he asked cutting me from my thoughts
"uh- uh yea it is..." i said brushing my loose strands of hair behind my ear and looking towards the ground once i could feel my face flush with a familiar redness. The class snickered at my reaction to this new kid, and Mr. Williams rolled his eyes as he went back to the lesson he was interrupted from.
"I'm Jared" he whispered to me once all the eyes were off him and trust me that was a long time.
"Victoria, but my friends call me red" i smiled back
"Is that from the color of your hair or the shade of your cheeks?" he joked making the blushing problem all the more worse, but yet i couldn't hold the giggle back from my lips, which caught glares from a couple of the girls that sat in front of us and that's how the day went on, ending with my cheeks sore from all grinning and smiling caused by Jared, with him making flirty jokes and me receiving death glares from every female in the room and occasionally from the boy that we all knew to be gay, but still tries to hide it.
Throughout the day I was in a clearly joyful state which caught Sarah's attention so much she went as far as following me home and refusing to leave until i told her about it.
"Red, if you don't tell me I'm going to burn every book you have stashed in your room and make you watch" she shocked me in her angered tone and believe it or not it scared me, she knew exactly where to hit, knowing how much i love my book collection and how close they are to my heart.
"OK! OK! i'll tell you just stay away from my books. there's this new kid in my last block-"
"You have the new guy in your last block?! you lucky bitch!" she screamed " Is he really as hot as they say? Becca said he was six feet tall! and I heard Cynthia say that he has freckles, but im not really into the freckle type" she rattled on talking fast like she does when she's excited.
"Sarah! First you threaten to burn my books then you don't let me explain? i mean come on!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry Red, please go on!" she sits down in the chair in front of me and waits for me to finish looking at me like a child would when waiting for his father to tell him a story about the world and it's secrets, i just sit and look at her trying to force down the smile that's obviously playing on my lips.
"Well? are you gonna tell the story or not?" she rushes me
I sit down and tell her about Jared about his sandy buzz cut, his grey eyes that resemble a storm cloud in the distance, his smooth chocolatey voice, his perfect whites that bless me every time he flashes me a smile. About our flirting, about the jealous horn bitches that would constantly glare at me, and how i didn't care because i was the one graced with his conversation.
"So do you like him?" she asks me still looking like the wide-eyed, anxious child waiting for their story. I think do I, he gives me the craziest butterflies and makes my cheeks go to shades of red i didn't know could appear on human skin, i guess...
"Yes, Yes I do like him." i smile
"But what about Dominic?" my smile immediately drops, I forgot all about Dominic, then the memories from the weekend come back. The girl that he met in the alley, the mission she gave him, and how he didn't show up to school meaning he must have taken the mission to save his mate, the poor girl that was threatened.
"I-I don't know about Dominic, i forgot all about him..." i said with a concentrated look on my face thinking 'why do i feel so guilty about flirting with Jared? I'm not even with Dominic'
"uh-oh somebody's got boy troubles" i look up to notice she is now sitting upside down with her feet where the headrest of her chair is and her hair lying on the floor looking at me through thickly black coated eyelashes.
"Why do i feel so guilty?" i said lowly
"Because you liked Dominic first and you feel like you've already started a relationship with him even though you two aren't together and barely know each other, which is making you feel like you're being unfaithful to him by flirting with an equally hot guy even though once again, you barely know him." she finishes with a blank expression on her face practically reading it all out of my mind word for word. I couldn't help but smile.
"I love you so much"
--------------------------------------------------------------
The next day of school I find out that Jared has 2 other classes with me and also the same lunch block. We talked all through the class driving the teachers and the horn bitches insane and almost getting kicked out.
"How about we leave campus for lunch, on me?" he says once the 4th block bell rings.
"Ugh i can't i'm eating lunch with Sarah today" i said just remembering our agreement and her once again threatening to burn my books if i pass up.
"OK, we can eat lunch with Sarah then" he smiles
Sarah was so happy to finally meet Jared and practically drooling all over him but like the best friend she was she backed down remembering our talk the day before.
Jared had just told us a funny story from his child hood which had me and Sarah in fits of laughter, Sarah coming down from the laughter glanced over to the entrance of the cafeteria and i noticed the pale look that washed over her face and when i looked over to see what had caught her attention there was Dominic looking sexy but pissed as ever with his eyes trained on yours truly.
"Shit"
