Immortal Love

Chapter Four

- Maya -

It's finally Friday, the week went by slowly. Ann made me late once again today. At the end of fourth period, I met Ann and Alex. "Hey, how was Allied Health? " Ann asked me. "It was good. I passed my test from yesterday, and we had a birthday party in there today," I told her while putting my books away. "Sounds like y'all had a good time. See you after class," she said smiling and left for her class. "Maya, if you don't hurry, we are going to be late," Alex said worried. "Alright, let's go then," I said pushing him toward the door. Just as Alex walked in the bell rung, signaling me being tardy. "Maya, come here," Mr. Johnson told me as I ran into the room. "Why is it you are late to my class at least once every week? " Mr. Johnson asked from behind his desk. "I am sorry. I was putting my books in my locker in the main building and was talking with my friends," I told him. "You are to come in my room in the mornings and sit at my table during lunch for being tardy," Mr. Johnson said raising form his chair. "Yes, Sir. Sorry," I told him. Mr.Johnson is one of my favorite teachers. But I really wish I could sit with Alex at lunch. "Busted?" Alex asked me as I sat down. I nodded yes. "It's about time if it was any other student he would have got them after a month, Teachers Pet," he said. "I know," I sighed.

The week went uneventful, until today. It is fifth period, and Maya is not in here yet. "Mike when Maya comes in make her come in here in the mornings, please," I whispered turning to him. "I want to spend more time with her," I said pleading. He nodded his head and looked towards the door to see Alex walking to his seat. As he sat down the bell rang and Maya was in soon after. "Maya, come here," he said. Once she was in front of his desk he asked, "Why is is you are late to my class at least once ever week?" "I am sorry. I was putting my books in my locker in the main building and was talking with my friends," she answered. "You are to come in my room in the mornings and sit at my table during lunch for being tardy," Mike said rising from his chair. "Yes, Sir. Sorry," she said as she walked to her seat.

As I got up, Mike said, "She will be sitting by you during lunch." I turned back to him and nodded my head. I walked over to Maya's table to see if they needed help. "Do either of you need help," I asked standing by Maya. "Yeah, does my picture look like the castle? " she asked, turning her drawing towards me. I leaned down on the table looking for anything wrong. After I told her some of the details, I sat down by her. "What are you planning on doing after high school? " I asked her as she drew. She look up to me for the first time today and I saw a small blush slowly spread over her cheecks. "I am going to go to college right after high school," she answered. "What are you planning on being after college? " She looked down at her hands and answered, "I am going to be a PTA, Physical Therapist Assistant. I want to help people." I continued to look at her and thought about how I am going to end up stealing that from her. I just hope there is a way she can still have her dream of being one. "Why do you not want to go to art school? You could be a famous artist," I told her. She looked back to me and said, "I might take an art class, but I don't want drawing to be my job. Drawing is one of my hobbies; I don't want to become just something I do." "I understand," I said as I stood up looking at my watch, "Don't forget to sit with us today." I walked over to Mike's desk and told him what time it was. He then told the class to go to lunch.

I sat down at the table next to Mike with an empty seat at my right for Maya. Soon she walked over without any food with her, and I pointed to the seat beside me. After she sat down I asked, "Where is your food? " "I am not really hungry," she whispered. I brought out my lunch box and got my bowl of grapes out and my bottle of blood. "Here get some. You need to eat something," I said pushing the grapes in front of her.

Mr. VanAlen just pushed the bowl of grapes in front of me, and I was about to decline when I looked up into his eyes. His blue eyes looked a little darker and for some reason I could not say no. After he turned his head away, I started to eat some of them. I somehow felt a need to please him. "How did you see the castle from my drawing?" I asked him. "I have been there before. I know some people who live there. The name of it's Nerva, which means strength," he answered. "It must be nice place," I said. "You would it like during the spring and the winter with all the flowers and snow," he said, "After you graduate I promise, I will take you there." I looked up at him and smiled, telling him thanks. After lunch was over, we headed to the room for our things.

After school was over I walk to my Jeep to wait for Ann. I did not have to wait long for her. As soon as she was in, she asked, "What are we going to be doing to the rest of the day? " As I cranked up the Jeep I answered, "We are going to go grocery shopping and then we are going to eat in town." "Why are we getting groceries? " she asked, complaining. "My mom wants us to get some stuff for her. We are going to the house first," I told her as I drove out of the school parking lot.

Once at home I went to the living room to find my mom on the phone. I sat down beside her to wait for her. "Hey, sweetheart are you going to get that stuff for me? " she asked after she hung up. "Yes, we are going to be eating in town also," I told her. "That will be fine by me. The list is on the kitchen table," she told me as I got up to go to my room. As soon as I turned on the light in my room I was tackled to the floor by someone. I was about to scream when my mouth was covered by someone's hand. "Maya, it me," my attacker said. I then realized it was Alex as he lifted his hand up. "What are you doing in my room?" I asked and pushed him off me. As he helped me up he said, "Ann said y'all were going to be doing something this weekend, and I want to go to. I have my stuff in the other room already." "Alright, you can go. Just don't do that to me ever again," I said hitting his arm and pushing him away. After I got my purse and the list, I told my mom bye and left.

During lunch I used compulsion to get Maya to eat some. I felt bad for doing it, but she needed to eat. I was on my way to the office when I heard Ann and Alex talking. "Yeah, we are going to be in town tonight I think," Ann told Alex, "I am going to get her to take us to Pizza Hut." "I will probably be going. I am going to hind in her room for when she comes home and make her take me," Alex said grinning to himself. "Alright, I will see you then. Just try not to give a heartattack," Ann said as she walk to the parking lot to leave. After I got out of the office I got in my car and called Christoper. He answered on the first ring saying, "Hey old man, what's up?" I smiled in to the phone as I said, "Well, I have been rather busy. You know I help Mike at the end of the school year and something happen." I paused thinking of what his reaction will be. "What happened? " he asked in a worried voice. "I finally found my mate. Her name is Maya Black," I said as I drove toward home. "That is great. I am happy for you. I can't wait to meet her," he said with eagerness. "I was wondering if you would like to go eat dinner, and you will get to meet her tonight also, not as my mate sadly. I was hoping I could use this as a way to see her," I said, "I am planning on inviting Mike,Nick and Richard, too." "Of course I would, text me directions and I will talk to the guys for you, if you would like for me to," he said waiting for my answer. "Yeah, that would be great. Thanks, you are the best," I said as I pulled onto my drive way. "Your welcome. Bye Bro," he said as he hung up. I have the best little brother; he never let's me down. Soon after I got home, the guys text or called to tell me they were going to be there.
