The next day, it feels like my alarm wakes me up even earlier than it did yesterday. I got way too used to full nights of sleep when I was in hiding. No matter what anyone tells you, waking up early doesn't get easier ever. And I have been doing it for centuries.
I groan as I reach over and turn off my screaming alarm, then sit up and blink at the light stabbing me in the eyes from the window opposite my bed. I'm gonna need to rearrange my bedroom. I groan again and stand up, stumbling to the bathroom to empty my bladder.
I end up wearing a pale pink skirt, black tights, a black sweater, and black knee high boots. I add a silver necklace with a pink diamond and trot down the stairs to make myself breakfast. When I finish, I look at the clock and find that it's 7:50 and I have half an hour to take a 20 minute drive. I grab the keys to my car and run out the door.
I didn't account for traffic and end up getting to the locker room a minute before the bell rings. I guess I am going to have to leave 10 minutes earlier than I did if I want to try and be friends with Tristan. Selena doesn't come down to the locker room until the second bell rings and I am heading upstairs.
"Can you wait for me while I change?" she asks.
"The second bell is about to ring, I don't want to start off at a new school being late."
"We get five minutes after the bell rings to change."
"Okay, if you're sure."
"Of course I'm sure, everybody always takes way longer than five minutes, Mr. Sharpel gets so annoyed at us."
"Okay, just hurry, I don't want him to be annoyed at me. That's the way to fail PE."
It takes her two more minutes to finish changing, and we run up the stairs to end up being the first ones upstairs. People start filing in after a couple more minutes and everybody is in the gym before Mr. Asshole arrives. In an amazing plot twist, we play dodgeball again. I tone down my playing to drag the game out, but I still don't get out. PE goes by quickly and soon enough I am headed back down to the locker room, chatting with Selena. WHen the bell rings, I go upstairs to find that Tristan isn't there waiting for me.
It's not that much of a surprise. He stopped attempting to show me around after third period yesterday. Selena has the same schedule as me, so it's really not necessary for him to help me, but it makes my plans to kill him even harder. I am going to have to seek him out specifically and try to befriend him. It it going to get even more annoying since Selena has a crush on him and is going to think I want to flirt with him.
Anyway, I put my murder plans aside and return to the present where Selena is trying to tell me about a new tv show that she likes. I wasn't listening for about 50% of her explanation, so I just nod and pretend I know what the hell she's talking about. If she decides to ask me a question, I'm screwed. Unfortunately none of my many talents includes mind reading.
I am saved from ruining my only friendship at this school when we get to biology and the bell rings. I am kind of thankful for seating charts, as I don't want to get Selena in trouble for talking to me the whole time. I feel eyes on me from across the room and look over just as Tristan looks away.
Maybe befriending him won't be as hard as I thought. I smirk to myself and look up just as Selena shoots a murderous look at me. Shit. Stupid teenage girls and their jealousy.
----------------
Selena somehow manages to keep me from talking to Tristan the rest of the day. IN fact, she never even walks within 20 feet of him in case I get too close. SHe never outright says that she doesn't' want me going near him, or that she saw him staring at me, but it's obvious from her behavior.
Whatever, maybe he will randomly show up at my house again tonight. If not, I can always just wait awhile and blend in more. I'm not so bloodthirsty that I can't wait to kill him. It might seem less suspicious if I wait for him to come to talk to me first. And hopefully in a couple of months Selena will get over this little crush so she isn't jealous of me being friends with him.
Though it has been 1,000 years and I still haven't gotten over... No. I am not going down that train of thought again. I haven't gotten upset over that in a really long time and I'm not going to start that back up.
Even if she gets jealous of me it's not like it will last that long when they find his dead body floating in the river. I am just going to wait awhile longer to kill him if I have to, I'm sure he isn't going to be too troublesome within the span of two months.
I keep getting off topic. The bell rings at the end of the day and I haven't talked to Tristan once. Though I did catch him staring at me many times in each of the classes he has with me. There were a lot of awkward silences between me and Selena.
My night is even less eventful than my day, and Tristan doesn't show up at my door again.
