Eerie.

Chapter 4 - Eye Candy

Chapter 4 - Eye Candy

          I should have known I was going to be Samantha. As I reread Eerie, I realized how similar I was to her. Just a few of the similarities were: we were both bullied at school, we both had an evil ex boyfriend, and she had blue eyes. Okay, so I guess the blue eyes thing is pretty common, but still.

          "Mackenzie." I looked up and smiled. Drake, the guy who had attacked Danny at the mall, hadn't left my side for 2 days. I had to stay in the hospital this long because I had a minor concussion, but I could leave tomorrow. "What are you reading?" he asked me.

          "Uh, just Eerie. It's a good book," I said unsuspiciously. Drake and I have gotten to know each other pretty well, considering we were strangers just a few days ago. And of course, in Eerie, another guy comes into the picture. My life better not advance to the end of the book before the second book comes out. Or else, I'll have no guidance and I'll be stuck. 

          "Knock knock!" Olivia calls out, coming into the hospital room. She stopped walking when she saw me. I probably looked horrible, with a bandage on my head and a huge bruise on my cheek. "Whoa... are you okay?" she asked, gingerly touching my arm. 

          "Yea, just a little sore," I said.

          "What happened?" she inquired. I explained everything to her.

          "So..." she stared at Drake. "You did this to her?" Olive took a step forward.

          "Nonononononono, Olive!" I exclaimed. "It was just an accident. Besides, it was Daniel. It was all Daniel." 

          "Well... alright then," she said, unsure. Just then, a nurse came in and made Olive and Drake leave so she could take some tests. When she was done, I found out that Olivia had to go to work and Drake had gone home to take a shower or something like that. I sat alone, rereading the part where Samantha's ex had talked to her again. 

          "Ugh," I shouted, throwing the book across the room. Why was my life so complicated?! Seriously!! My eyes fell on my phone on a small table near my bed and I reached out to get it. I could barely reached it, but I finally grabbed it and dialed Seth's number.

          "Hello?" he answered.

          "Seth?"

          "Mackenzie? Hey! Where have you been? You've been practically MIA for 3 days!" 

          "I'm sorry, I've just been... in the hospital."

          "What?! What happened?? Are you okay?" he started freaking out. I explained everything to him, like I did with Olivia.

          "Wow. Are you okay?" 

          "Yea. I think I'm getting out tomorrow. They only kept me for so long because of my head injury, and to make sure it was healing properly. But everything's just fine and dandy." Fine and dandy? What was wrong with me?

          "Okay. If you're up to it, you can meet me and the rest of the pack after school. I'm not sure what time your school gets out, but mine gets out at 2:50."

          "Yeah, sure! I'll see if I can get over there, since my school gets out at 3. Same place as before?"

          "Um, okay. It seems like the river beach thing is a rendezvous point for us or something. Well, it's the only common place we know of that we can be wolves. Unless you want to meet up in person...?" A wave of panic came over me. Was I really ready to see Seth as a human? When he sees me... he's probably going to act like everyone else. Chances are, he's going to treat me like "that ugly emo girl" just like all the people in my school. Then again... Drake didn't treat me that way... But he told me that his sister is scene or something like that, and that's almost like emo (I guess. I really don't know what I am. A lot of people call me emo but I don't do labels), so he's used to it. But Seth... I barely knew him, but I knew him enough. He didn't have anyone like that in his life, so... yea. I wasn't going to risk this good friendship just because of my looks.

          "No, just meeting as wolves is fine with me." Another question came to my mind. "Have you ever... have you ever seen the others as humans before too?"

          "Are you kidding? We're practically inseparable. Well, except Rissy. She calls us all idiots, but mostly to the others. Especially Dylan, Mason, and Blake. Actually, scratch that. Blake and Mason. But we all go to the same school. I'm not exactly sure why you didn't end up at our school, and why you've never met us before. I sort of... knew about you already. Your father and mother were memorable werewolves in the previous pack."

          "Uh, well, okay then. Maybe we can meet up as humans some other time?" Or maybe never.

          "Okay! See you tomorrow, Mac!" 

          "Bye." I hung up just as Drake came back in.

          "Hey there," he said, smiling. I just smiled back, staring at him. We do a lot of that. I don't know what it is, but we seem to have a lot of these silent "staring conversations." Okay, so I didn't really mind the eye candy either. I mean, he wasn't super drop-dead gorgeous, but he was pleasant to look at.

          "Thanks," he answered, chuckling. Oh God, did I just say that out loud?!?!

          "Um, what did I say??" I better not have said the eye candy part... otherwise I'd die...

          "You said I was pleasant to look at."

          "Oh. Then you're welcome," I responded, my cheeks flaming. Ahh, that was bad enough, even if he didn't hear the beginning part. And the drop-dead gorgeous part. Okay, so basically the entire thing was embarrassing,

          "You know," he said. "You aren't that bad to look at either."

          "Thank you," I answered, my face continuing to burn. 

          "You're welcome," he said, blushing a little himself. At least, I think he did. He quickly turned away and chuckled a little again, but this time awkwardly.

          "Uh... heh. Can I ask you a question, Mackenzie?" he looked me right in the eye.

          "Sure, I guess. What is it?"
