Vampires Will Never Hurt You., chapter 6
~Back inside the house~
I was busy washing the dishes as Tre, Mike and Billie Joe stumbled into the kitchen.
"Any luck?" I asked, putting the plates away.
"Nope. Is it okay if we stay another night? I don't think we're gonna get the car working for a while," Tre asked.
What was I meant to say. I couldn't turn them down. I'd feel guilty. But I'd also feel guilty if I hurt any of them. Either way I would lose.
"I suppose so," I said.
"If you don't want us to, we'll walk somewhere," Billie said hurriedly.
"No, Don't be stupid. I would love some company," I told him, trying to force a smile.
"Thank you!" Tre shouted, throwing his arms around my shoulders.
"It's ok, just don't make too much noise," I warned.
The three men looked around at each other.
"Could you hear us last night?" Mike finally asked after a long and awkward silence.
"Well, I heard SOMEONE screaming," I laughed, looking straight at Tre.
Tre blushed a little. "So what you got to do around here?" Tre asked, changing the subject.
"Ummm... " I started, realising that I didn't have anything to do. All I did when I was on my own was read, write my own stories and draw.
"what have you been doing over the years?" Tre asked.
"Well, I write a lot of lyrics and stories," I answered.
"Cool, could I see them?" Tre asked.
"Maybe later," I replied. They were kind of personal. About my feelings, about being stuck like this.
"Alright," Tre answered, sitting down at the kitchen table again. Billie Joe and Mike joined him.
I put the remainder of the dishes away and sat with them.
"I say we play dares!" Tre said quite suddenly.
"Aright then," everyone agreed.
"Okay, Sophia, I dare you to... " Mike started.
"kiss Billie!" Tre shouted.
"I don't think that's such a good idea," I said.
"Why?" Tre asked.
"Because he doesn't like me," I told them, "He said I'm a freak, remember?"
"So?"
"So then I don't think I should kiss someone who thinks I'm a freak," I explained. I saw Billie Joe watching the floor.
"okay, we'll choose something else," Tre agreed, pretending to pout.
"Good," I said as Billie Joe scowled at me. What was his problem? It was as if he knew what I was. But if he did, how did he know? Did I give it away by some mistakes I made last night?
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mike watching me. Where did I know him from. This was all very confusing. Why do I feel like I've met him before?
"Sophia?" Tre was waving his hand infront of my face.
"Sorry, what?" I asked, jerking out of my thoughts.
