He looked around before nodding, "Follow me I know where all the teenagers hang out. If we catch them we can get some good gossip." I gnawed my lip, could I trust him? I studied him, he certainly looked trustworthy, with his wide puppy like brown eyes and his handsome suit, which complimented his light brown hair.
"Fine, lead the way." Steven grinned and motioned for me to follow him down the hall. We were walking towards the room Ben and I had first came into. He opened the door and almost collided with Ben,
"Be-Franklin! Watch were you're going!" He grabbed my arm to steady me.
"Sorry Elizabeth. You know I was just about to look for you, you're almost half an hour late." Ben looked at Steven who stood behind me. "Who's that?" I turned to Steven and said haughtily,
"Steven Silverspoon, he came to my rescue at the meeting. I narrowly missed blowing my cover, if it weren't for him I don't know what would have happened." Steven blushed and fiddled with his tie.
"It was really nothing at all, really. Besides isn't it high time you introduced this fellow to me?" Ben smirked at him and replied,
"I happen to be Elizabeth's date tonight." I glared at Ben.
"Well I did promise his mom i'd babysit him." Steven and I laughed at Ben's expression. He was just about to reply when Sadie walked over.
"Franklin are you coming back now?" She practically whined, I could tell Ben was trying not to roll his eyes. Steven stepped closer to me and whispered,
"Let's ditch these looney's and get some information." I looked at Ben, he was occupied with Sadie. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if we slipped away. I let him take my hand and lead me over to a couch where a few vampires that looked to be around my age sat on.
"Excuse us, may we sit here." When the nodded and made room we sat down, and I realized how tired I was. It had to be at least two in the morning. I looked at a clock mounted on the wall above us, yup, two-fifty seven. Contrary to what most vampire stories say, we don't really like to stay up late. If we sleep at night then it is much easier to fit in with the humans.
"I love your accent, it's British right?" He nodded to a spiky haired girl.
"Wicked!" She exclaimed. Her and her three friends got up to get some food or something.
"Loads of information they gave us" I said wryly.
"Don't give up hope yet, love." He stood up and headed towards another group. I sat there stunned, did he just call me love?"
