I've Just Seen A Face
Today I survived my second day as a sophomore and I once again wanted to run, fly, and swim my way back to Elysia. Yesterday Amelia had to cancel our plans so we rescheduled them for today. Now it was Friday, we lasted the first three days of school!
After school I met Henry at the front of the school and I searched the area for Amelia. Finally I spotted her and I dragged Henry by the arm toward her.
"Henry, Amelia, Amelia, Henry." Amelia looked and blushed while smiling. Henry grinned as he stared down at her.
"Good to meet you." Henry said, his grin grew wider and she smiled back.
"You too." I smiled and laughed and grabbed both of their hands and started to drag them away from the school. "So, Mina, where are we going?"
"The arcade; and then movies at our house!" I said over my shoulder and after so long I let them walk beside me as I led the way to the arcade. I usually don't go there but I knew Henry liked it sometimes and Amelia would go there out of boredom. So it was a place they both had in common.
Once we were inside we ditched out backpacks and raced to the games. Amelia and I enjoyed a shooting game, which she won. Then all three of us raced and to our disappointment Henry won that round. We continued to rematch him, but it was relentless, he continued to defeat us. Henry and Amelia went on to compete against each other in dancing.
When pacing the counter Amelia caught sight of a giant purple monkey and she fell in love. From then on it was her goal to win it. After nearly three hours of her attempting to win that monkey, Henry finally decided to get something. But to our amazement he got the monkey.
"Here." He held out the monkey to Amelia and she stood there dumbfounded. After she took hold of it she immediately began to reassure him that he shouldn't have done that. "Calm down, I wanted to."
She blushed madly and gave him a rib-breaking hug. He laughed and hugged her back. Amelia was in the best of moods since then. And she constantly tackles Henry in thanks for the monkey. He hasn't resisted a hug yet.
My plan was working perfectly. Our excitement died soon after and we walked to our house and our three backpacks fell to the ground in a heap. We raced to the game room and fought over which movie to watch.
They both settle on a movie that they both loved. I could not stop smiling and laughing at them. Amelia's crush on Henry was just endlessly hilarious and Henry constantly flirted back, this is what happens when two flirts meet! Henry crashed on the couch and slapped the space next to him for Amelia. She sat down very close to him and his arm rested on the back of the couch. They seemed comfortable and I put the movie in then I pulled out my phone. I saw a text from Lucy. I smiled and tossed the remote to Henry.
"Sorry guys but I've got to go. Lucy says she needs help with this thing for Drama. So she wants me to go over. I'll see you later!" I ran out of the room before either of them could protest.
When I got to Lucy Hope's house her mom was the one to open the door. I introduced myself politely and she seemed like a nice woman as she took me to Lucy's room. I came in with a huge smile and I saw Lucy on her bed surrounded my snacks and books.
"Lucy, I'm home." She laughed and rolled her eyes.
"Ha, ha! Hey I also invited someone else from our Drama class. Is that okay?"
"Yeah, it's fine with me." I sat down and stole her bag of chips. "Who is it?" Right then the door opened again and a boy with pale white hair came in holding three sodas.
"Hey, she came!" He grinned and handed Lucy her drink, then he came toward me and sat next to me. He placed the cold drink in my hands and I got a strong whiff of his blood which was the exact same type as Vlad's. I felt my senses roar to life and my mouth grow dry and stomach growl in hunger.
