Ash POV

As we walked away from the school, me and Jade separated from the pack and walked behind them. We were having fun making fun of the guys and my acting skills, until one of them decided to screw things up by saying,

"Hey Ash, what's so funny back there? Did you work up the nerve to ask out your crush? Bout time you grew a pair and stopped whining about her!"

I was shocked for a second, but then I felt totally embarrassed and extremely pissed off like, what the fuck dude? Things like that are supposed to be strickly confidential when we talk as a pack.

I wanted to kill Trevor for saying that. I'm pretty sure I'm blushing now, and I can see out of the corner of my eye she is too. I say,

"Ha ha very funny guys, nice joke, we all know Jade here isn't like that, right?"

She nods, but instead of looking at me or the guys, she stares at the ground while we walk. I'm pretty sure that was as embarrassing for her as it was for me.... I feel bad now.

The rest of our walk is awkward and filled with weird small talk and silences, and I'm slightly relieved when we get to her apartment.

While she's unlocking the door, I remember about the party and say,

"Ok, well um, I was wondering..."

I can sense her nervousness and realize she thinks I might be asking her out because of what the guys said. I'm not. I mean, Jade's cute, nice, and really funny, and I totally would, but I've only known the girl for like three days, that'd be completely weird, I have higher standards than that, I hope.

"If maybe I could get your number so I could text you details about the party, if thats ok with you...?"

I see the nervousness melt out of her shoulders and she nods, telling me to come inside.

I follow her in and she goes over to a desk with drawings strewn across it everywhere. From what I can see, they're amazing, perfect detail and color, something I couldn't do if my life depended on it.

She hands me a piece of paper with her number on it and I create a new contact for her. I say,

"Thanks, and I was also wondering if that myth about vampires not being able to take pictures is true."

She rolls her eyes and says,

"Almost nothing you've probably ever heard about vampires is true... Yes, we can take pictures, holy water is just water, I can eat garlic if I wanted to, the sunlight doesnt hurt most of us... Wooden stakes to the heart, revein, or fire will kill us though."

I nod, confused,

"Most of you the sunlight doesnt hurt?"

She nods with a sigh,

"Its complicated, but to sum it up, technically there are two species of vampires.... Basically the good types and the bad types... The good ones dont drink human blood, and we are nothing like the creatures described in books and movies... Now the others, they are exactly like the vampires described in books and movies, they kill humans to feed.... Sunlight, holy water, and garlic burns and keeps them away, they sleep in coffins and they're very pale with red eyes, easy to recognize if you know what your looking at."

I nod,

"Okayyy, anyways, can I take a picture of you for your profile?"

She scrunches up her nose, and I have to admit, it's quite adorable, she says,

"I said I could take pictures, doesn't mean I like them, but fine, if you must."

I laughs and take a picture of her saving it in my profile. I dont think she realized it, but she kind of tilted her head to where a little light from the window was on her face, and she gave a real smile even if it wasn't big. I could tell because it's the kind of smile that reaches a persons eyes. Even if I didn't want it to be, I think my heart was temporarily stunned.

I snap out of it when she says,

"Now your turn wolf boy."

and takes my picture. I give a dazzling smile and turn my head slightly. She saves it as my contact and I turn, wandering around the room looking. She asks,

"What are you doing?"

I laugh a little and respond,

"I'm just looking around, calm down.... Last time I was here I was a little busy saving someone's ass if I remember correctly."

She shrugs saying something about looking, but not touching without permission, but i wasnt fully paying attention. I feel my eyes widen slightly not knowing what she was talking about exactly.

She throws a pen at me probably realizing what I was thinking.

"You know what I mean, perv."

I catch the pen and throw it back with a laugh.

"I know, but be more specific next time, guys have one track minds."

She snorts,

"Obviously, prime example right here."

I mock being hurt,

"Ouch, kittens got claws."

She laughs,

"Yeah, and I'm not afraid to use them, so dont forget it."

I find a box of CDs and sit on the floor, dumping it out carefully. Jade opens a window and sits at the desk starting to draw.

I sort through the CDs finding the most amazing artists, like Evanescence, Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, Arctic monkeys, Falling In Reverse, Bring me the horizon, and even Black Veil Brides, which is one of my favorites.

I find their new album, Wicked and Devine, and I get an idea for the party.... I jump up off the floor and put the CD in the stereo telling Jade to shut the window fast.

The music comes on blasting and its an awesome song, but every song on this album is awesome so there's not really a big difference.

My idea for the party was that me and my friend's know these guys that own a club in a town not to far from here, and one night a week they let in minors and we can do whatever as long as we dont get caught. Plus they always play the best music if you know the price, which isn't a problem at all. Dancing, drinking, music, three main points of an awesome party. Not to mention, lots of hot chicks.

I pick up all the CDs and give Jade a hug, spinning her around. I'm actually excited about this party, which is surprising, and I need to get started right away. I'm hoping it'll be within the next few days, after all, tomorrow is friday so why not?

She asks,

"Wait, aren't you going to tell me what this genius plan is?"

I say,

"Nope, it's gonna be a surprise."

She sticks her tongue out me and I grin mischeviously darting out the door and jogging home to book the club for a night.
