LATER THAT DAY

Katerina Gilbert:

Today has been so weird ever since I was seen talking to Damon. I didn't know what he did or does but it must be pretty bad if I'm already at the top of the Things To Gossip About list. In every single class when I stood up to introduce myself- which was basically that and going through all I've done at my other school in every class all day- people were murmuring and whispering about me. I did catch Damon's amidst all the gossiping but nothing else. I thought the entire day over as I walked home from school that afternoon. I decided to wait for Jace at the doors to see if he was mad at me for talking to Damon but after about thirty minutes of waiting, I figured he probably already left. Or ditched school. I noticed that he wasn't in any of my classes. Neither was Damon. I saw them arguing at lunch but right when I was going to walk over and stop them, Jace hesitated to respond to whatever Damon had just said. As if they were arguing about me and Jace could tell I was near.

I walked into the front door of my new house and saw no one there. I looked out into the driveway and noticed my moms car was gone. -Probably out looking for a job, I thought.- I went for my room and headed strait for my bathroom. I grabbed a tight tank top and some shorts and set the on the toilet seat. I stripped out of the clothes I had for today and put the tank top and shorts on. I then pulled my hair up into a tight, messy bun on top of my head and washed my face of the little make up I still had on. I was just about to head to my room and start doing homework when the doorbell rang.

Running into the kitchen to get the door, I noticed that my mom had gotten home. She was asleep on her bed with her bedroom door wide open.

When I was about to open the door, I froze. It was Jace. How did he know where I lived? What was he doing here? What do I say?

''Hi...'' I said after just standing there staring at him for about a minute. ''What are you doing here?''

''Sorry I was just wondering if you had a good first day of school..'' He dipped his head and muttered sorry before walking away.

''Wait!!'' I yelled after him. I didn't want him to leave. ''Sorry for being so rude. I was just wondering how you found out where I lived. It's my first week in this town and I already have a visitor.''

He chuckled a my attemped excuse. But he turned around and smiled. It was one of those full face beautiful smiled showing off hollywood white teeth and accompanied with a gorgeous pair of dimples. I didn't want that smile to fade. Ever.

''Small town. And my uncle is the assistant principle of the high school we go to. Sooo.... Yeah.'' Oay, I did find it kind of creepy that he knows where I live and can also find out basically every thing about me. But I liked his honesty. Then I remembered what I was wearing. I started to feel self-concious of my how much of me was showing but I didnt care in front of Jace.

"You wanna come inside for something to drink or something?" The words came out of my mouth before I even thought them. But I was reliefed when he said yes anyway. So I let him in and he sat down at the table. I went strait for the fridge and grabbed two water bottles then handed him one.

"So." He started an awkward conversation. But he didn't get that far. My mom walked in wearing a pair of running shorts and a tank top with a gray hoodie. She froze when she saw Jace sitting at the kitchen table across from me.

"Oh! Hi I didn't know Katerina had company!" She had to use my full name! Why!??

"Mom! Please can you call me Kat? That's what everybody called me why can't you!" I didn't want so many people to know my real name. It was embarrassing. It sounded like an 1800s kind of name. Not one I would've wanted.

"Sorry! I just don't get your problem with that. Well, if you don't mind, I'm going out for a run and then looking for a job. I suppose you met with that Damon kid?"

"Yea and bye. Talk to you later!" I hated pushing my mom away but she was embarrassing me.

"Well... Okay.. See you later!" She said and walked out of the front door.

"Sorry about my mom. She's a little crazy." I apologized to Jace.

"No problem. I know all about an overbearing mom!" We both laughed and just engaged in conversation. We talked about our families, school, past life, just about anything. I got a little quiet when we reached the subject a out my dad but I still felt like I could trust Jace. The only person I've been able to trust since I was ten was Halley. From Rocket Lanes back in Virginia. I showed him my room and sat down on my bed and just let everything out. The whole time, I was caught in those beautiful brown eyes.

Jace has been here for about 2 hours now and I didn't want him to leave. But sadly he had to. We both had homework and I didn't think I could spend another second in the same room with him with out want to melt it mouth into mine. I was starting to feel a little liking toward Jace but I couldn't. I just met him today. It would be crazy. But I couldn't help but feel, something inside of me wanted him. It wanted him so much. But he was cute, not saying he's ugly, but I was betting he had a girlfriend with his pretty face. It didn't help when he asked me something right before he left.

"Hey before I go I was wondering if I could ask you something?" He said.

"Sure ask away!" I answered.

"Are you doing anything this friday?" He asked and scratched the back of his neck. "There's a party at one of my friends house and I thought it was a good time to make some new friends."

I contemplated my answer for a second ad then finally said, "I would love to come!"

After that, we said our good-byes and he headed home. My mom wasn't home yet but I didn't care. I did my homework and then fell into the best sleep I've had in years thinking about Friday night.
