The vampires tutor

Lesson 18.

ASHLEY'S POV

"Just a little more, please!" A boy begs him from the shadows and I watch him hand the boy the little baggy of weed. 

The boy runs off and I stay to watch him light the roll he had tucked behind his ear, I can him take a long inhale and I watch the small light at the end flicker red and orange. 

In his exhale, he blows it up and it swirls in the wind, then completely disappears. 

I find him a too a luring and sexy, though he doesn't go to our school; he comes around often to deal with the seniors and juniors. 

He leans back against the wall and I find myself doing the same on the other side, though he can't see me, I want him to look over here. I have no idea what color his eyes are or his hair. For all I know he could be bald. 

I only felt his presents a week ago and have been following him around. 

I guess you could say I don't know how to walk up to my mate and tell him, "Hey did you know that vampires actually exist? oh and that I am your mate for life?!" 

Even I would be a little freaked out. 

What I do know about him is that he is a drug dealer, nothing too heavy; just weed. He lives alone in a pretty good area not too far from our town, in a little house surrounded by fields. When I've heard him talk, his voice is deep and gravely, I've never heard him when he is angry though, only when he seems to be indifferent. 

He doesn't have that many friends and I don't know how old he is exactly. 

But one thing that still gets me is  how is it that I got mated to a user? I mean, I'm the cleanest person... well no, there was the 60's. Man the Beatles where a fun group of guys. 

But I haven't touched anything sense then, For vampires almost nothing has an effect on us. Alcohol and drugs do nothing unless you are eating them every second of every day, then you might feel a slight buzz. poisons and things like that do nothing too. 

"Is someone there?" I flinch as I realize I must have been making sometime of noise. 

I look to see him walk towards me and for a moment I am frozen, do I talk to him? 

Deciding that it is a no, I quickly ran in the opposite direction and hear him calling after me even though he didn't know who I was. 

"Hey Cole, where the heck are you going man?" I hear another man call and I quickly dodge into a door way. 

My mate stops and bends over slightly to catch is breath and puts his hands on his knees. 

"Geez," I puffs clearly out of breath. 

I have to hold in my laughter, he is acting like such an old man I think to myself. 

"dude." His friend comes over to him and is out of breath as well. " the heck is wrong with you?" He smacks him on the back of the head. My mate slaps the back of  his friends head right back. 

"There was someone in the alley." 

"Umm, no there wasn't." 

"There was, I could feel it. Plus they ran, I saw them. Though I have no idea who it was." 

"Well what did they look like?" 

My mate scratches the back of his neck and thinks for a moment and I can't help myself from reading his mind. 

They were short, freaking fast and....

"And?" I think in my head, waiting for him to continue. 

They smelt like mac and cheese.....

I scrunch my nose up. I do not smell like mac and cheese!

"Dude?" 

"I'm craving, lets go somewhere to eat." He quickly changes the subject and I watch them walk away. 

Once they are out of sight, I step out from hiding and put my hands on my hips. 

He is kidding me right now?! I smell like mac and cheese?!?

Frustrated, I head home thinking about this over and over again. When I walk through the front door, I head straight up stairs and see Jordan and Ben sitting in the lounge playing Halo. 

"Wow, what has your panties in a wad?" Jordan snickers and I glare at him. 

I go over to him and practically shove his face into my neck. 

"Do I smell like mac and cheese to you?!" 

Ben looks at me as if I've lost my mind and Jordan struggles to get out of my hold. 

"Yes!" He says, pushing me away. 

"What?!?!" I smell myself and look to Ben, he rolls his eyes then motions for me to come closer to him. 

I do and he takes a sniff. 

"No you don't, what the heck has gotten into you?" He asks. 

"My mate thinks I smell like mac and cheese." I pout. 

Jordan and Ben look at each other for a moment, then burst out laughing. 

"Oh my gosh," Jordan says laughing so hard that he holds his stomach. 

Frustrated even more, I punch him in the gut and he stops laughing for a split second before starting again with the air knocked out of him. He sounds like a dying elephant seal. 

"What is going on in here?" Mackenzie asks and Elex appears behind her. 

"As-She-totally-cheese!" Jordan tries to talk, but no one can understand what he is saying. 

"Can anyone translate elephant seal?" Elex asks. 

"According to Ashley's mate, she smells like mac and cheese." Ben says, Mackenzie and Elex look at each other than back to Ben and me.

Elex holds in his laughter and just smiles, while a little bit of Mackenzie's gets through. 

"Yeah yeah so funny." I grumble and walk away from my laughing siblings. 

"Where are you going?" Elex asks. 

"To take a shower. I'm going to make it so he smells something else." Determined to do just that, I get in the shower and scrub my body with vanilla body wash.
