Vampire Academy, Again (A)

Tara's POV

I tried not to wake up.  I couldn't believe i had to attend a vampire school.  Everything was new to me and i still hadn't even come to terms with what i was.

What would i do? Everyone saw how i tried to burn them all.  I knew that Braeden and Elena attended there. What if they saw me?

I sat up in the bed and wrapped the sheets around me.  First thing i had to do was to apologize to the principal.

I didn't care about friends.  All i want to do is finish,  meet the King and Queen and disappear into the human world.

Besides I don't like that my eyes look very red and my snow white hair has turned more grayish ash. And people are going to wonder why I look nothing like a vampire.

I mean every vampire has a different eye colour but it only turns red when they're hungry and about to eat. So why did mine turn red.

I had already fed on Jake. This is what feeding on Jake does. It messes me up like crazy. But I can admit that they look beautiful and the stars in my eyes seem to glow more.

I don't want to admit it but I've never felt more alive. But I still miss my parents a lot. Every feeling seems magnified. I love running with speed and never getting tired.

Although it's weird to not breathe. That is very weird and freaky.

So going to the human world means that I get to keep my spell up forever.  I get to keep my blonde hair and blue eyes while i forget about the real me.

Without anyone telling me not to. If the king and Queen found out they would be disappointed.

Something about being confident is what they'd say. Well, I don't care. I have no parents, just Jake and Jeremy.

If you don't get up and get down here in five minutes I'll leave you.

I rolled my eyes and headed for the bathroom.  I deliberately took my time to shower and only came out after the water had gone cold.

The bathroom was so luxurious.  I keep forgetting their princes. I sighed and went through the closet.  There were so many clothes.  Jake had bought so many that i could barely pick.

He had even bought my underwear and he knew my size.  When i asked him about it he said and i quote, "It's male intuition."

I picked a white short sleeved straight dress which reached my knees and some brown leather boots.

I slipped them on after fixing my hair and putting on my underwear.

I grabbed the black shoulder strap bag and stuffed it with books,  pencils and pencils.

I walked out of my room and slowly descended the stairs. Jake was the only one downstairs. I knew it was Jake because he smelt like chocolate whilst Jeremy smelt like apples and mint.

Jeremy said he didn't want to be late so i should hitch a ride with Jake to school.  It hurt when he said i was tardy but it was the truth.

He sat on the comfy couch watching Vampire Diaries on the outrageously large flat screen TV. 

"It took you twenty five minutes to get down.  We already missed first period." He scolded.

I scoffed and rolled my eyes.  He didn't really care.  He just wanted to tell me i was tardy.  Mean jerk!

"I heard that.  Now come on.  We're late." He put off the TV and grabbed my hand to pull me.  I jumped at the electricity i felt when he touched me.

Something wasn't right. "What was that? " i questioned him. Knowing Jake he'll do anything that would prevent him from spilling the beans.

It had been happening ever since that night i woke up as a full vampire.  I had ignored it but it had been happening frequently and now i needed answers.

I stared at him as he rubbed his neck and looked everywhere but at me. "Fine you can tell me when you're ready.  Until then don't touch me. I don't want to feel that until i know why" i said and marched out of the house.

He just followed me and the ride to school was silent.  Jake and i were anything but silent.. He parked in the parking lot and stopped the engine.  "I cant drive you back home. " he said.

I nodded and grabbed my things.  "Can you show me to the principal's office.  I want to apologize." I said.

That was the last thing said between us.  He left me at her door and walked away.  I felt like a stretched elastic band.

I cleared my head and knocked on the door.  I put in my apologizing face and waited for someone to open.

I had to pretend because i only felt emotion around the twins and that was it.  Once they were gone i felt dead inside.  It was why i was going to make sure I avoided everyone. 

Who am I kidding?No one would want to be my friend. I had only Braeden and she hates me. But I do hope to at least make one friend other than the twins.

The woman opened the door and looked at me.  I could see fear and annoyance.

"Good morning.  May i speak to you? " i asked in a soft tone.  She nodded and walked back in.

I followed her and shut the door firmly.

Jake's POV

I walked her to the principal's office and left her. I was and hurt. She didn't want to feel the sparks. She probably wanted the sparks to come from Jeremy. Stupid son of a King.

I walked into the classroom and ignored both the teacher and the stupid ugly girls that tried to gain my attention. It was either Tara or no one. I had always loved her and finding out she's my mate, I regret everything I've done.

I sat at the back in between my friends: Noah, Edward and Mason.

They three plus my idiotic brother were the only ones who knew what I'd done to Tara and why.

"So have you told her?" Edward asked. They were all future Kings like me. The only difference was that they accepted the role. I didn't and it landed me in this mess.

It caused me to hurt my mate in a way that haunts her very night. I now realize that it wasn't worth it and that I'd only made sure she would be in danger for the rest of her life.

I was broken out of my thoughts when I saw Mason's hand in my face. Noah giggled like a kid as Mason snickered.

I rolled my eyes at them. Be it a matter of life or death those two would joke around. Edward was the only sane one among us but sometimes we all got drunk and became like Noah. and Mason.

We would usually get a handful from Edward's mate Bella. I know it sounds like Twilight. The only difference is that this is a lot like Tara.

Very violent yet very shy. But she was strict to keep us from making such big mistakes like... (Not really important or needed).

When she tortured the information out of me I was shocked. She didn't talk to anyone of us including Edward for a month.

It was until I told her that I had been forced and that I would reject Tara had she spoken to Edward.

It took the rest of us another week of grovelling before everything was almost back to normal. Almost.

"Dude what happened?" Mason asked. I gave than a signal that we would talk outside.

I mean everyone in this room had heightened hearing, sense of smell, vision and others. Everyone would hear everything if I talked here.

The boys and I talked as the teacher droned on about some ancient creatures. I peaked into Tara's mind to see what she was doing.

What i saw made my blood boil. I was seriously on the mood to kill.

Tara's POV

I stood staring at him play like he was born to. Oh, I'm sure you're wondering what happened.

Well, after I left the principal's office there was no one anywhere so I followed the map and tried to get to the Mythology class but I got lost so I followed the music.

Key word tried.

I walked around the school and tried to find the source of music and when I did shocked was an understatement.

There sat a boy who looked like an Angel. The light coming through the windows made him look like he came from the sun.

The melody he was playing was so soft and soothing. Before I knew it I was in the room. I could finally see hi blonde hair and his red eyes. They were beautiful.

He was dressed in a white T-shirt with a white leather jacket, blue jeans and sneakers. The T-shirt accentuated his muscles and his six pack.

Yes I can imagine how they would feel or taste in... But I didn't feel like it. He wasn't as handsome as Jake.

Ewwww, Jake wasn't handsome! He was a nuisance.

I heard that! Jake said in my head. I jumped and tripped. Before I could fall, strong arms wrapped around my waist and brought me to a warm chest.

So vampires weren't icy cold. We were warm but we didn't feel any temperature. Thank God, I thought I was the only one and Jake.

He smelt like lemons. But he smelt good. What is he???
