I headed over to our meeting spot right in front of the girl bathroom vending machine. This is where me, lily, and phoebe meet in freshmen year. Phoebe was a friend of ours until she was run over by a drunk driver. She happened to be coming home from finding her boyfriend cheating on her with Elisha. She was so devastated that she didn't see the driver pulled out in front of her until it was too late. So, me and lily meet here every day for her memory. When I turned around to find lily, she was with Damien. I rushed up to them and gave Damien a crossed look before turning to hear what Lily was saying.
"oh, hey Alison. I didn't know that you met Damien before I did. You're such a cheater."
"I didn't want to meet Damien. I have no choice in the matter. There was only one desk left."
"Well I met Damien coming down the hall. He's a little chatterbox once you get to know him. We better get heading to class" she said as the warning bell began to ring.
"Great idea. We'll see you later. "I say as I begin to pull Lily towards the choir room. "Lily come on"
"we'll see you in a minute, Damien "Lily says as she waves bye to him. I pull lily in the classroom. I shut the door behind us and turn around towards her. I begin to tell her everything about him that I had found out.
"Lily, have you lost your marbles. Damien is a blood sucking neck biting vampire. I swear one of these days you're going to Get into trouble and I'm not going to be there to help."
"We were just talking. It's not like I was giving him my address. Anyway, doesn't even like me he seems to like you"
"Great now what am I going to do. He's going to kill me for sure."
"Keep stakes in your pocket and don't invite him into your house"
"I swear you never take it leaping seriously. I could be killed right now you'd think it was funny."
"this is the first guy that is interests you for a long time and not for your body"
"yeah but he's a vampire. I don't do corpses"
"I don't want to hear anymore. I want you to march your butt right back over there and ask him to sit with us at lunch"
"My own friend is trying to set me up with the vampire. What has the world come to"
"Move it, missy"
"I am moving but I'm not making any promises. Don't be so pushy."
I walked through the hallway that connected our classroom to the band room and begin to look around for him. I found near the piano and went to talk to him. Likely the band director doesn't care if the course students are in his classroom if they don't do much but sit there and read notes or watch movies.
"Lily sent me over here to invite you to eat lunch with us."
"it would be my pleasure Allison"
"well now that that's over I'll be heading on my way" I began to move
"no wait stay"
"I think we actually might be doing something in class today"
"you're not so stay"
"no! Don't force me remember"
"don't be so difficult."
"I'm leaving I don't have to put up with this. Don't talk to me like that again. In fact, I don't want you to sit with us anyway"
"miss Caldwell. Mr. Rivers. Do we have a problem?" Ms. Abney came from the chorus room and asked us pointedly.
"No, Ms. Abney. I was just coming back over to the classroom"
"well that's OK. We were going to watch season two of Smallville. Lauren brought the whole season for us to watch."
"Ms. Abney, you wouldn't mind if I come over to watch it with you guys. I love watching the Chloe girl get in trouble" Damien asked
"I don't see why not. Just be quiet. Some kids actually sleep while we watch the show"
"I promise I'll be quiet as a mouse"
"Good" she says as her jacket bellows behind her. I turn around and stare at Damien
"I hate you just so you're aware"
"Wait till you have to sit by me and then we'll see how deep that hatred is"
"oh no you're not don't even think about it"
"Lily adores me. I don't think she'll mind telling you that you have to you have to sit beside me "
"she really likes you because you're the shiny new toy"
"you do know that eventually you'll start to like me"
"When hell freezes over"
"whatever you say, Allison" he said with the knowing smart-ass grin Lily came up to talk to us.
"Allison, your back and you brought Damien with you. I guess that means you patch things up"
"guess again my friend. There's no way that I'll ever be friends with him or anything else for that matter"
"oh, come on! Give me a chance for me please!" She smiled giving me the puppy dog look and batting her eyes.
"do you know I can't resist that. The puppy dog look is so hard to resist. Stop it"
"that's why am doing it. I want you to be nice to him"
"fine. I need you to stop with the other thing too"
"what do you mean?"
"you know the mind tricks. Just saying it repeatedly until I give in"
"yes ma'am"
"Someday I'm going to learn how to say no to you"
"today is not one of those days" Damien said
"why don't you to shut up? I'm only being nice to you because she asked me to"
"well I'm glad she did it"
"yeah yeah. Now let's go watch Smallville I haven't seen in a while"
"Sure"
"okeydokey", Lily said
We watch the ball two episodes of Smallville and then it was time for musical theater. I have that class with Ms. Abney also, so I stayed behind. Lily had trigonometry that period, so we met up for lunch. Lucky for me, Damien has been for two periods so that meant he would be alone with me for two hours except for the 30 minutes that we had for lunch. We headed off to lunch together and met Lily on the way. I went to get my lunch and then headed towards our usual lunch table. When I got there, Elisha and her minions were sitting there.
"Umm. Excuse me, this is where we usually sit"
"Why don't you got sit over there with the freak? I'm sure you'll be more welcomed over there" Elisha spoke with venom
"No one tells me where I'm going to sit. You know we've been sitting here since freshmen year and if I were you, I move before something bad happens"
"Bring it on! Freak!" Elisha said as I heard boots coming from behind me
"Elisha, quit bothering Allison. Sit at your own table." Damien was so focused on her she didn't see me scowl as I watch Elisha go sit down at another table near the football team
