Immortal Enemies

Chapter 7

(Skip to Monday morning)

I got up mumbling incoherent words under my breath. I really didn’t want to go to school. I really couldn’t face Zacky right now. What if he is mad for kicking him out? Soon my rational and sarcastic side started to kick in again and I thought “He will deal with it.” I turned on my T.V because I needed something to keep me awake. Only those kids’ shows were on, but I settled on SpongeBob. Hey, SpongeBob is the shit. Period.

I walked into the bathroom and turned on the water; I just undressed and stepped in. The hot water crashed onto my skin and washed away the sleepy and tired look from my face and left me energized and for the first time in a while…happy.

I wrapped myself in a towel and exited my bathroom. I decided on this outfit I especially like the Happy Bunny shirt. I love that evil bunny. I went into the bathroom and did my hair, eyeliner, and eye shadow. I stepped out and checked the time.
7:40. the clock read. I was gonna be late…Again. I put on my purple converse and stood in front of the mirror. I gave myself the Ok, and I grabbed my bag and went downstairs. The sickening sight of my “perfect family” greeted me.

Did they always have to do everything so damn precisely? They just sat there eating breakfast together. They might as well been chewing at the same fucking speed. I walked into the kitchen, past the table, and to the pantry where my beloved sour power belts hid. I pulled out a handful and put them in my bag. I saved one to eat now, and as I opened it my mother said,

“That’s not breakfast Brianna.”

I inwardly groaned and ignored her. I walked out of the door to my car and jumped in. I started the car and sped down the block to the treacherous prison people called “School.” I pulled up and got out. As I entered the building I saw what I normally saw. People flooding the halls and socializing. As I entered and searched for my “crew.” I spotted Jade and she waved me over. I smiled and walked over. I was thinking that so far my day has been good. Well something came back to bite me in the ass, because some bitch bumped my shoulder- hard. I seethed and turned around. A plastic blonde bitch that i recognized to be Jazmin, stood smirking at me.

“Watch where you are going, freak.” She said in a sickeningly sweet voice.

I narrowed my eyes and said

Back your fake ass up before I fucking make you.” She obviously wanted me to punch her fucking fake nose off because she just said

“Make me.” But before I could even register my anger that was now sky rocketing, she smacked me, and her fake plastic nails left a scratch mark on my face.
I went into a blind rage. I punched the bitch in the face, hearing a crack as my fist collided with her nose. By now a crowd had already formed. I jumped on her ad began punching, her stomach and face repeatedly. All she tried to do was scratch me. I almost got one more hit in until strong tattooed arms pulled me away. She was still on the floor people surrounding her, crying.

I was struggling against the arms that held me screaming profanities to her face. She was crying a lot now, and I swear one of her eyelashes fell off. I eventually calmed down as the person carried me the other way. When they set me down I looked slightly up and I saw it was Zacky.

My eyes widened and I tensed, but he gave me a look that made me calm down. How did he do that?

“What happened back there?” He asked full of concern.

“Well some fake bitch called me a freak, and she scratched my face. So I took her ass down. She fought like the bitch she is and I don’t take shit from anyone.”

Zacky stared at me with an arched eyebrow, and a look that showed he was impressed. But I looked away. I wanted to say something to him about the kiss but I was suddenly too afraid. What was this boy doing to me? But whatever it was, Isecretly and silently liked it. it bothered the hell out of me. I finally mustered up the courage to say,

“Look Zacky, about the kiss, and how I made you leave a-“

“Don’t worry about it; I expected u to take it way worse.” He said with a smile.
I smiled, but the scratch cuts on my face, made me wince in pain.

“Oww, this stings. Stupid bitch,” I muttered.

“Are you okay Bee?” Zacky said with worry, but then he looked at my face. He leaned down and kissed my cheek. The contact of his soft lips and my face sent shivers down my spine, and the stinging in my cheek went away. I touched my cheek, and the cuts were gone. I couldn’t help but freak out.

“Zacky what that fuck just happened!” I shouted. He signaled for me to keep my voice down.

“Well, umm…” He said while tripping over his words. “I gotta go” and he turned to leave. Something snapped in my brain, and I grabbed his arm tightly. They were strong and muscular and had a defined shape to- Wait, No! I really shouldn’t be thinking about Zacky’s arm right now.
He turned around with a puzzled look on his face, while mine sported a smirk.

“Is it true Zacky?” I said confidently, knowing that i would finally win against him.

His eyes widened dramatically, and for the first time he looked scared. I made Zack Baker scared. I was writing this down somewhere.

“I-I don’t even know what you are talking about.” He tried smirking, but it failed to mask his fear.”

“Cut the crap Zack.” I paused after. Dreading the possible results of asking this question. My courage had decided to abandon me here, and fear took over. I started to ask again, this time my voice was quiet, but crystal clear.

“Zachary Baker…are you a vampire?”

He sighed and faced me, his eyes shone brightly as he stared at me. H grabbed my shoulders and looked me in the eye.
“Yeah Bee I am, but you can’t tell anyone or e-“He rambled quickly but cut himself off because I then tears stung my eyes and were free falling down my cheeks. I began to lean my back against the locker, holding my sides to keep myself from falling to pieces. Zacky grabbed me before I could sink to the floor, and pulled me into a hug. A few moments later my tears began to subside. I was there clutching to Zacky for my life. I was afraid if I let go, I would shatter. His arms flexed as he hugged my torso, and my small arms snaked around his waist, holding on tightly. He was cold, but I’ve never felt so warm. I realized that he had no heartbeat, but I imagined one was there. And I imagined it was in sync with mine. Where all these new feelings came from, who knows. but i was enjoying my every moment with Zacky. I had finally grasped the fact, that I Brianna Rene Lewis, had liked Zachary Baker the whole time.

I felt wind hit me and it felt like we were moving. Zacky let go, but I was still attached to him. I opened my eyes and we were in front of the school. I looked up as Zacky and he smiled. My face was tear stained and my eyes were red. He put his arm around my shoulder. We started walking when I realized what we were doing.

“Zachary!, are we ditching school?” I asked mockingly, yet so serious.
He cringed when I said his full name.

“Please don’t call me that he begged.”

“Okay, sorry Zachary.” He stopped walking and he looked at me. I poked his chest, and I took off running, while laughing madly. While I ran, I began thinking ,(i know, shocker.)

Maybe he wasnt so bad...
What are you talking about, he nearly killed you!
Shut the fuck up!

I pushed the annoying voice to the back of my head and began to think that maybe I could grow to like him. I kept running towards the gate when he appeared in front of it, crossing his arms and arching hissexy eyebrows. I stopped running in front of him and pouted. It took me a second to rememer he was a vampire. Damn him.

“Hey I heard that! He said, his face displaying mock offense.

“You can hear my thoughts." I asked increduously. He nodded and i muttered.
"So im not even safe in my own mind?" My eyebrows arched.
He nodded and smiled.
"Your no fun Zacky.” He smiled and he pointed to some direction and I looked to see his car. I took his keys from his pocket and ran to the car. It was a nice ass car let me tell you. It was a black BMW with shiny rims. Anything shiny is awesome people. I got in the driver’s seat and started the engine. Zacky got in the passenger seat.

“Who said you could take my hot ride?” He joked

“Please it ain't that hot.” I said laughing. “Seatbelt Zachary.” I said like I was his mom. He opened his mouth to protest, but I pointed a finger at him, and he put on the seat belt. I grinned at the thought of ordering zacky.

“Where are we going Baker?”

“Matt’s.” He replied casually.

“You mean Matt Sanders? I asked. That dude was huge. I saw him in the hallway, and I felt like a munchkin compared to him. Well i was to a lot of people...
He nodded before asking me,
“Hey bee, you know how to drive right?”

I pondered for a second beside grinning devilishly. Yeah, Bee has plan.
“Nope.” He looked with me with scared eyes before I screamed out the window and floored the gas.

(Zacky’s Pov)

I held her in the hallway as she cried. I’ve never seen her so broken down. I began to realize my effect on her. I was able to calm her down just but holding her. I’ve never felt this way. I decided to get out of here so I took her, well basically transported her to the front of the building. I heard her think that maybe I wasn’t so bad. I began to feel happy that I no longer caused her pain, and a huge load was lifted off of my shoulders as she forgave me. Weird. Before causing her pain was what I lived for –sort of, but now my life- well death, almost completely revolves around her. She began joking with me and teasing me, and I figured that although I was the one who had previously broken bee’s positive demeanor, I rescued her. And she ran from me laughing and screaming like a kid. The first thing it thought was how awesome she looked doing it. The second thing I thought was “Shit, another Jimmy.” I couldn’t help but smile at her amusing and childish antics. I don’t know how she does it, but she truly is amazing and I can’t even figure out why. I guess she’s just a mystery to me.

(Victoria’s Pov)

Where the hell is Bee? I saw her walk in just like a few minutes ago. I poked Sasha and said.

“Dude have you seen bee? She’s not here.”

“I saw her last in the hallways crying on Zacky. I think he took her or something.”
My face contorted and my jaw dropped.
Mr. Silverstein came in and began speaking. But i knew damn well, that even he knew nobody cared. But all I could think about was “If Zacky fucking touches Bee, it’s over.”
I drifted in and out of the lesson, until I heard the word “Project” comes out of his mouth.

“What?!” I said a little too loudly.

“Care to share anything Miss. Silva?”

I groaned. “No.”I said darkly and lowly, glaring at him.
“Now class, im going to assign partners.”

Oh no. I was hoping this fucker wouldn’t set me up with some douche again.
“Jackie and Angie”
“Sasha and Drew”
Shit.
He called a bunch of names before I heard mine.
“And Victoria and Brian.”

My heart skipped a beat. As much as I hated Zack, it did t mean that I didn’t like his gorgeous friend.*wink*. I sat there on an emotional high until the bell rang. I was the last one out but I basically floated out of the room. I came crashing back down to reality when I tripped and went falling face first onto the cold floor. I braced myself for impact but it never came. Strong Tattooed arms held tightly around my waist and I tensed up. I was so embarrassed.

“Shit” I thought because I knew who had saved me.

“Hey, you okay?” He asked me. I just looked at his chocolate brown eyes and said.

“Uh huh.” I cleared my throat when I realized his arms were still around my waist. He let go and there was an awkward silence until I spoke up.

“So about the project, I was thinking we could meet at my place.” I said keeping my cool.

“That would be awesome.” He said while smiling. He pulled me into a hug that I wished I could have stayed in forever. He smelled like expensive cologne and cigarettes. I let go when he did and he smiled down at me before he walked away. I turned around however and he was gone, and the hallway was empty.
