Christina is immortal. but can she have true love and keep her secret? |
"Done, done, and done!" I said.My hands wobbled with tremendous speed. The dead animal,cold and still, neglected on the ground.The wind blew the smell of savory blood up my nose.My throat burned with such intensity, that a pained snarl erupted from my throat.My mind raced, trying to find the source of the smell.Brittany,I thought.Without a second thought, I ran. As I ran toward Brit's house,I saw him.It made me slow down to a light jog.He was tall,muscular but not in a creepy way,graceful,and had a Hispanic flare.Beautiful,I thought.Then I saw that he was bent over someone.That savory smell of blood cupped through the air.I hissed as low as I could.Then I hear an urgent voice.I felt my dead heart ache with joy. "Brittany,stop moving!Your knee is bleeding pretty badly.Luck for you,I have the First Aid kit." I heard Brittany giggle-push his shoulder. "Oh,Jacob....!" Jacob?! His name was Jacob.Jacob who?I thought.Must be some new kid from Jersey or Georgia or even Florida.Maybe he is from Florida becau-.My thoughts were interrupted by the smell of mints in my face.I tried to ignore the smell,but it made my throat burn in agony.I yelped.I heard someone giggle at my outburst.I turned to find Brittany crouched in my face giggling with a pleasure. "What Brit?"I demanded.She looked so shocked that I regretted my tone.Then,my cell phone rang in my pocket.The caller ID Brittany flashed on the polished screen.What now?Maybe she's just pranking again,I thought. Meet me @ Mia's Juice Bar in 30 minutes.Bring $60. *Mizz Brittany As I made my way to Mia's Juice Bar,I heard a loud crash.Turning like a tornado,I checked to see who it was.I saw wave of beautiful auburn hair,flickering in the twilight.Brittany!I assumed.Watching her glide over here made me regret my immorality.But then again, Brittany fell over a pothole.I chuckled.Brittany blushed embarrassingly.After she walked over, I kissed her on both cheeks,as she did the same. "Did you bring the $60?Cause you'll be using it!"Brittany started to giggle when her phone played 'Miss Officer'.She squealed with delight. "Jacob texted me!He asked if he can join me-er- us for a smoothie!What do you think,Christina?"I only nodded.My head felt light.My stomach was doing backflips.Jacob?!Here at Mia's?Where's my Gucci bag?Oh in my hand! As I walked to the bathroom, I turned to Britany and said, kinda softly. "Be right back,"I muttered to Brittany, who was sending directions to Jacob.She just barely titter-toddered her head.As I walked into the bathroom, checked to see if anyone was inside.Good!I thought.Quickly changing from a black denim jumpsuit to my favorite Halloween-is-all-year-round-so-don't-hate skinny jeans and red pumps and Green Day tank top.Purr-fect, I thought.I quickly added my makeup and walked back out.I heard to familiar voices.My dead heart ached and began 'beating'.I was still pale as a sheet,but had some color in my cheeks.As soon as I walked around the corner,my heart 'died' again.I skipped towards our table and I heard bits of Brittany and Jacob's conversation. "No way!Cats are so much better than dogs any day!" I tried not to laugh. Brittany was always a cat person.Ever since Snowflake,her white cat, died because a dog ripped open her neck, Brittany never liked dogs. As I sat down next to Brittany, I caught Jacob looking at me. He finally noticed that I was looking at him, then he smiled at me. This wasn't your typical smile. We are talking about a crooked smile with two dimples! I must have been staring too long because Brittany cleared her throat. "Christine? Did you bring your $60?" I nodded. "Good, because we are needing to raise $500 for our trip." I stared at her with confusion clearly written on my face. She shoke her head and said two words,"Los Angeles." |
