Semua Bab So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire?: Bab 191 - Bab 200

“There is no way in the universe I am letting you spend the night at Lucy’s house tonight, Cassidy,” my mom was saying as I tried to down my breakfast in time not to be late for school. I was dressed in my cheerleading uniform, as I was every Friday during football season, and the bacon and eggs she’d lovingly made me now seemed a little less infused with that particular emotion.“But Mom,” I began, “how else am I going to tell her and Em what happened? I’ve been back for three days, and they still don’t know anything.”“I understand that, dear,” she said, sipping her coffee, “but you’d have to be crazy to think I’d actually let you be out of my sight for that long so soon after what happened the last time you slept outside of this home.”I knew what she was saying, but the teenager in me was indignant. “You said there wouldn’t be any punishment.”

Before I could even get a statement of disbelief out of my mouth, Milo said, “It’s one thing to turn you down, but totally beyond disrespectful to then ask Jessica to go steady with him, just to rub it in your face.”“Totally lame,” Wes agreed.I didn’t have to defend myself. “WHAT?” Lucy exclaimed, pushing her tray of spaghetti away from herself. “You have got to be kidding me. That’s not even true! Cass doesn’t like Liam anymore—if she ever did. She turned him down for winter homecoming, remember?”“Sure,” Wes replied, just sort of staring at her. “But… I’m just telling you what everyone has been saying.”“So you don’t like him?” Milo asked.I realized in the time it took Lucy to explain the situation to my other friends that none of it even mattered. If Liam needed to spread rumors about me to get his kicks, then s

“It hurt so bad, I really wished I was dead. I was just staring into Brandon’s eyes, trying to breathe. And then Jamie gave me the pain medication, and everything faded away.”Quietly, Lucy asked, “How long were you out for?”“I’m not sure,” I admitted. “A long time. Until the next day. And then… when I woke up, I found out what I am.” It was hard for me to say it, hard for me to believe or admit.“Which is?” Emma asked, her eyebrows arched above the frame of her glasses.“I’m… a Hybrid,” I replied, wishing I could own it more. “I’m half-Vampire, half-Hunter.”“Shut up…” Lucy whispered. “How do you know?”With a sigh, I reached up and carefully removed my colored contact lens. Both of them gasped, but neither of them jerked away like I thought they would. “Jamie also says I have fangs,

When the song was over, we headed to our spots on the track, and I watched Lucy, trying to keep pace with her. It was really cool having my own cheering section, even if having creepy Christian there made it a little hard to look at my sister (since he was sitting right behind her.) They all seemed to be enjoying the game, though, and Emma and Brandon were chatting it up. I hoped she wasn’t telling him anything I wouldn’t want him to know. I wasn’t worried about anything going on between them since Emma thinks most boys are disgusting. She doesn’t really like girls either. Basically, Emma thinks all people are revolting in general. It was a wonder she was talking to him at all….I was super careful with my movements, taking things nice and slow and sticking to the beat. When we did our dances to the music the band played, I tried not to bounce too high, and when I jumped, I gave it as little effort as possible. I knew our half-time performance w

Lucy was out, talking and gesturing with her hands, as Jason came around to join her and Emma lagged behind. Luce saw me and waved, even though she didn’t stop talking, and a few seconds later, they joined us on the sidewalk in front of Holt’s house. Some other kids circled, like they really wanted to talk to Brandon, but he literally waved them away and they backed up quickly like a startled murder of crows.“Hey, aren’t you freezing, standing out here in just a jacket?” Lucy asked, huddling her arms around herself.I hadn’t notice the cold. At all. “Were you cold at the game?”“No, but at the game I was cheering.”“I wasn’t cold at the game,” Emma chimed in. “But then… I was surrounded by hot guys.”“What?” Lucy and I both asked at the same time.“Yes, their body temperatures are higher than normal.”“Oh,&rd
