"Lovebirds," Jennifer shouted to Lucian & Isabelle. She passed through the people and the door, wiggling through the crowd to go update the group. "She's gone with him. His suit is nice as fuck," Jennifer snatched a party cup from Jason. Noelle shouted over the music, "Seriously! I knew he was coming. He always comes for her.""She's hot," Tyler digressed. "Never knew she was that hot.""She hides the ass & tits with those baggy ass clothes sometimes. Well, she hides," Jennifer laughed at her best friend as she corrected herself. "She's gotten a lot better though as you clearly see.""Hey man, don't do anything I wouldn't do," Jason warned Tyler."I'm not going to do anything. She's quiet so she needs a crazy motherfucker like him," Tyler downed the rest of his beer in one swig. "I'm getting another. Want any?" He offered the group. They all nodded yes and resumed talking in his absence. Jason lit a cigarette with one smooth flick of his lighter, stashing it in his suit pocket. He

IsabelleI waited for Lucian to show; I was nervous and I couldn't stop wiggling my fingers. I paced back and forth mumbling many words to occupy myself. "You look like you're trying to practice a valedictorian speech," his voice boomed in my ear. I playfully rolled my eyes at him. "You had me worried."He cocked a brow at me. "Can I not be worried?" I asked. "You're just an over thinker," he concluded. He took my hand into his with a firm, reassuring grip. Just as he was about to say something, Jennifer burst from the parlor door. "Are you lovebirds going to come in? Or you can stand out there and hold hands forever, doesn't matter to me! Can I have your burger?" I laughed to myself, "True Jennifer fashion." I shouted, "Go ahead!" She shrugged in retreat and I could tell what she was probably saying. Something along the lines of 'I'm going to make love to that burger' or something so entirely gross and slutty that I'd laugh my milkshake through my nostrils. "You like this place?"

Early MarchIsabelle"You love to sneak around, don't you?" I nearly jumped out of my skin when Amelia's voice thundered through my ear."You should not scare people. I almost had a heart attack," I reprimanded. "And for your information, I'm just curious.""Yeah right. Your mind wanders about our lord constantly. Only a select few are allowed to be here in the Golden Hall," Amelia said."No wonder it's always empty here," I shared."I don't understand," Amelia shared. "He's infatuated with you but he lets you out of his sight too easily. Anything could happen to you around vicious blood-crazy feigns, yet he gives you free reign," she finished. "It's amazing." I just let her rant. I nodded my head because I was too in shock to respond. "Listen. About trying to suck your blood from your neck," she continued.I disrupted her with the stop motion of my hand, "No need. I knew it was an accident. I was never angry.""Still not fair if you didn't get a proper apology," she rebutted. "I mi

Isabelle The only thought that was running thorough my mind was "I hate this." Not much longer of rising early. Graduation is a few weeks away and I'm ready. I got ready in a flash, using minimal effort to find an outfit; I settled on something comfy but cute—tights and a tank top.I made sure to grab some snacks from the kitchen and stuffed them into my backpack quickly. "See you later," I said."We're dropping you off at school today. Did you forget it's your senior parade? You have to wear something cute!" My mom pushed me to the stairs and made me change. I settled on a little pink dress with fluffy pink slides. "Is this better?" I asked with thickness in my voice."Much!" She said with a smile and clasp of her hands. "Let's go," she told my dad who was trying to finish his donut. He grabbed my backpack and the truck keys before we all rushed out the door. "Have you been having too much fun?" My mom asked. "You've barely been home.""I'm fine mom," I reassured her. I took my ph

LucianI stepped foot onto the green grass only to see no one, but I heard voices coming from a faint distance and I smiled at the soft melody flowing through the bushes. "What are you scheming?" I asked as I thrashed through the bushes. Bella was with Jennifer in their secret spot by the tree, except they were more hidden today. "Oh my god! You have to stop doing that!" Bella shrieked. Jennifer cowed behind Bella but still sided with her, "Yeah! You almost gave us a heart attack."I chuckled, "Sorry." I looked them up and down while they gathered themselves from my sudden appearance. Jennifer released a deep breath while Bella took in a swift inhale. "What brings you here?" She smiled."I wonder," I playfully avoided the question. Before I could give Jennifer the eye, she excused herself. "You two lovebirds can have at it.""See you later," Bella giggled with a wave. I took a step forward and I felt our souls intertwine when our eyes met. "Do you know it's only Thursday?""Who cares
