Pink lemonade

Chapter 7

The next day, Emily and I walked to school together. She sipped her disguised blood as she walked while I had my hands in my pants pockets. I pondered about Ashley because I really just wanted to try her sweet, lemonade scented blood.

"Raiden look out!" Emily shouted as I ran into something or someone? I rubbed my head as I got up from the floor. Marshall was laid out onto the floor, his papers that he was carrying flew away with the wind. Dave just looked at the both of us and cracked a small smile. He's never smiled before and I think it's odd.

"Oh hey Raiden! I got a lot more people to join band club!" He enthusiastically shouted. I fixed my hair.

"Oh really? How?" I asked, very curious how he convinced students to join us band geeks.

"With this" Marshall said holding up a poster. The paper had a picture of me with my shirt off. I looked away from the paper and scowled towards Marshall. Why did he use me as his ad campaign? Can't he use someone else?
Emily chuckled next to me.

"Marshall? What the hell is this?" I asked.

"Well you see, the only way we could get people to come is, if we put someone as hot as you on our ads. It worked because now we have a whole crowd thats interested!" Marshall exclaimed. My head blew up the size of an elephant. Marshall called me hot.

"How did you even get this picture?" Emily asked amused.

"Yesterday, he got to go to Physical Education and we secretly took his picture without his permission." Marshall said like it was no big deal. I wanted to strangle him for embarrassing me, and for letting me be known to the whole school.

Dave looked uneasy and a little queasy. He really didn't want to be here but I'm pretty sure Marshall forced him to hand out flyers.

"So after school a whole bunch of people are going to be in the abandoned music room?" I asked.

"Yes" Marshall said. I shuffled in place and decided to punch Marshall in the arm. He grasped his arm and fell to the concrete dramatically.

"Man down, man down, Dave, carry me!" He shouted. A little group of people snickered at us, thinking we were hilarious. I sighed and tried to pick up Marshall. A girl voice was heard.

"Oh there you are Raiden. Dont you remember me. I saved your booty yesterday" A familiar girl voice said. I turned and look towards the girl. Blondie was just as blonde as ever.

"I'm trying to save this kid from embarrassment. Any tips?" I asked.

"Just walk away, he's not worth it." Blondie laughs as she grabs my arm and pulls me close. "He's a little coocoo in the brain" she whispers.

"I don't know. He seems normal to me" I say.

"Well, you are a vamp--" I cut her off quickly.

"Haha yes I am so revamped" I say too nervously. Emily, Marshall, and Dave looked at me kind of funny and I waved it off. Emily knows that I don't want anyone to know I'm a vampire and she wants to keep it a secret for me but I think she knows that blondie knows. Good god, Emily can keep secrets.

"What're you talking about, Natalie" Emily asks. So Blondie's name is actually Natalie. It rolls with what she looks like.

"Oh nothing. I was just wondering about band club after school." Natalie lies. I rub the back of my neck and decide to walk away from blondie. I blindly walk away and I end up once again, bumping into someone else. How many people do I have to bump into before I'm actually free from this madness.

"Watch where your going you big moron." A girl yells at me. I realize it's Ashley and she realizes it's me.

"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to call you that. I was just walking along. Totally not thinking of you. Just thinking about school stuff" She rambles. I put my hand over her mouth and she licks my hand. I whipped my hand back and frowned in disgust.

"Everytime you do that I'm going to lick your hand." She threatens. I laugh and refrain from smelling her. I plug my nose with my hand and she looks at me weirdly.

"Why are you doing that?" She asks

"Why am I doing what" I said, sounding like squidward.

"That" she gestures to my hand covering my nose.

"Oh this, you just stink thats all" I smirked.

"I do not. I take showers everyday unlike you." She remarks. I move my hand away from my face and get close to her face.

"You wanna fight?" I ask. She looks down at my lips and then to my eyes. She seemed to be getting closer and her face was as red as a tomato. I leaned back a bit and shook it off.

"Go Raiden!" Marshall and Emily said simultaneously. I stick my tongue out at Marshall and Emily then I looked back to Ashley and she was talking with Natalie. Wow, girls are quick to conversate. Man, I didn't get to start an insult war.

"Dont forget about after school. Band club is going to be great!" Raiden says as he takes off. The bell rings multiple times and then comes to a halt. Emily and I walk to class together. Dave was no where in plain sight. Ashley and Natalie walked off to class together.

"So, you have a thing with both the girls?" Emily asks me with a slight smile. I sigh because I know she has the wrong idea.

"No, I don't." I say. I'm not interested in neither. I actually want to stay away from Ashley because one of these days I'm going to end up doing something I regret. Natalie is blondie. I could never like her.

"By the way, you were right, she does smell like lemonade." Emily said, snapping me out of my thoughts.
