《Blue Eyes (A Paranormal Romance)》Chapter 7
Advertisement
The next day at school I was walking to my locker with Abi when I see Jake. As soon as I see him I imagine him wearing a red mask and black hoodie.
I shiver at the thought. What is with this guy? Following me around, watching me, scaring me. He wasn't going to get away with this. I wouldn't let him.
I start to walk up to him, when Cassandra beats me to it. She instantly wraps her arms around his neck and starts kissing him. I stop dead in my tracks. Watching them for only a few seconds before I turn around and walk back to Abigail.
"What were you doing?" Abi asks.
"I know it was him last night. I just know it. So I wanted to say something, let him know that I wasn't fooled." I answer.
Abi gives me a long stare, but slowly she nods "okay" she agrees simply, though I could tell that she didn't actually agree with me, she just didn't want to argue on the matter.
The bell rings and we go off to class.
🔹🔹🔹
As I'm walking to my English class, I feel somebody grab onto my shoulder, adrenaline rushes through me as I remember what had happened last night, I spin around ready to punch whoever it is straight in the face, finally feeling able to defend myself. But when I turn around, I see a kind smile light up a very cute face.
Brandon.
Brandon is the most popular guy in school. He's the football quarterback, six feet tall and straight up hot.
He has spiked dirty blonde hair, and big beautiful brown eyes, plus his gorgeous 1000 watt smile. His teeth are so purely white that when he smiles, I swear it practically lights up the entire room.
"Hey, Bethany." An unexplainable chill runs down my back, I push it off as shock and excitement.
He knows my name?
"Hi Brandon, what's up?" I reply, feigning casualness despite the fact that he never speaks to me.
"Well I was just wondering if you'd like to go to the Prom with me?" He asks, a shy smile appearing on his lips.
Was he serious? Was he really asking me to prom?

"Uh, I'll have to think about it" I say bluntly, unsure whether I even want to go to prom, and besides, if I do, I might want to go with whoever this prom proposal extremist is.
His smile falters just a tad, but he quickly covers it up with a cough, "okay sure, just uh, let me know"
"Will do" I say awkwardly before turning around and waking into class.
I get in my seat and quickly pull out my phone to text Abigail.
"OMG Abi you'll never guess who just asked me to prom" I text.
Her reply pops up in mere seconds.
Mr. Ampler walks in and sits down as he does attendance.
He doesn't allow phones in his room so I do my best at sneaking.
I watch him until he looks at his computer, then I quickly look down and read the text
"Jake?" She asks.
I look straight ahead as I text my reply. After years of having to hide my phone when Abigail is in a crises, I've finally mastered it. I can text perfect messages without looking at my phone, and it only takes me one glance to read the whole text most of the time.
"No! Why would Jake ask me out? We're practically enemies" I text back
Her reply is there almost right after I sent mine.
"Oh come on, everyone knows that you two secretly have a little crush rival thing going" her text says.
Say what? Yeah right.
"No, no no no, we definitely do NOT have a little crush rival thing going. And the person who asked me out was Brandon" I reply.
"Brandon? The Brandon? As in Brandon Bercier? The school quarterback?" She asks
"No, Brandon Ingram. Yes Brandon Bercier. Is it really that hard to believe?" I ask slightly offended.
"No no of course not, I'm just surprised, he usually only asks out cheerleaders. Isn't prom like two months away?" She says, her text popping up so fast it doesn't seem humanly possible.
"Yeah I know weird. And yeah, he asked me pretty early" I send
"Please tell me you said yes!" She texts.
"I said I'll have to think about it" I send.

"You said what?!" She sends. I can just imagine the bewildered look in her eye, her jaw practically hitting the floor.
"Well I don't know, it's kind of weird. Do I want to go with him? All eyes would be on us, it would be kind of awkward don't ya think? Plus I didn't think I even wanted to go to this thing" I text.
"Girl Brandon is drop dead gorgeous, how could you need some time to think about it? I mean seriously? It's a yes. And you better freaking tell him it is sometime today or I will. Not about me going obviously, but you. Ah I can't believe you're actually going! This is going to be so much fun. We can finally go dress shopping with you actually buying a dress!" She texts.
I accidentally laugh out loud, interrupting Mr Hibler mid sentence, and the teacher, along with everybody else's eyes are on me. My cheeks burn with embarrassment. "Do you find death funny, Miss Hibbler?" Mr. Ampler asks his eyes narrowing at me. I shake my head no. Talk about bad timing, one of my many talents. "No? Well then what could you possibly be laughing about?" He asks as he stands up and walks over to my table.
I try to slip my phone into my bag without moving really, but he's there before I can. I accidentally drop my phone when I try to slip it into my bag. It drops to the floor.
Mr Ampler bends down and grabs it.
"How about we share this to the class?" He asks.
I plead him with my eyes that he doesn't.
He's about to go back to his desk without reading it when another message pops up.
He looks at the text and then at me.
Okay that's it, I can't show favoritism, I need to treat her like I would anyone else. People need to know that they won't get away with this. Mr Ampler thinks.
Oh no, oh no, please don't be embarrassing!
He clears his throat as he takes a closer look at my phone, he begins reading what Abigail texted.
"Abi says 'OMG though, I mean yeah you and Brandon will look cute together, but you know who you'd look even cuter with?"
Please don't say Jake, please don't say Jake. I silently beg.
"Jake." All eyes are on Jake, then me, then back to Jake.
Jake had one of his eyebrows raised and a small, almost unnoticeable smirk on his lips as he looks at me.
I attempt to read his mind, but just like every other time, there's a strange emptiness. No thoughts at all. And then I'm pushed out of his head.
"Like seriously girl. You and Jake have got to stop messing around, everyone knows that you two would be perfect together, and not to mention the adorable babies you would have!" Mr Ampler reads.
The whole class erupts into laughter as my cheeks burn more than they ever have before.
I take a side ways glance at Jake to see him watching me.
Would we make cute babies together? I try to imagine what they would look like. I picture his deep blue eyes with silver flecks, my pale skin, his dark black curly hair, and my button nose, and bam, you have an adorable little girl.
I hear a snort come from beside me where Jake sits. What was that about? I'm almost convinced I had said that out loud about our kid, but I know I didn't.
I look away from him to read others minds.
No, I would make cute babies with him.
This Abi girl is so dumb if she thinks that he would ever go out with her, let alone have babies with her.
What was Abi talking about that girl and Brandon?
They would make really cute babies
Poor girl, I would die from embarrassment
Who's Abi?
Oh my, it's so awkward, yikes.
Wait so her and Brandon are together or something?
What a loser.
Fun fact: babies are actually born with more bones than a full grown adult. While adults have 206 bones, a baby has a whopping number of 300 bones!...But this isn't the time for a fun fact. I think I'll keep this one to myself.
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob Squarepants!
There's always that one person...

Rated Mature for strong language and sexual themes ~~~Ana shrieked and frantically shielded her eyes as a very male, very naked man entered the room. "Holy fuck," she heard the man say, or rather shout, before the sound of something crashing to the floor met her ears. She spread her fingers slightly, peeking through to assess the damage. "Don't look!" She clamped her eyes closed."Who are you?" Ana resisted the urge to peek once more as she heard him move around."Better yet who the hell are you," he bit back sharply and she resisted the urge to flinch at the unnecessarily harsh tone."Do you live here?" "No," he deadpanned. Her eyebrows furrowed in slight confusion. "I'm just in a random ass college dorm walking around naked. What do you fucking think, Sherlock?" He sneered and she bit the side of her cheek to hold back the oncoming eyeroll. Leave it to the second college student Ana comes across to be a total jerk."Well then I do believe that makes me your roommate."~~~All Princess Anastasia wanted was to get through college quietly, receive her degree and enjoy the simplicity of life in the process. But, after her first day ends on bad terms with one of her new roommates, it starts a series of prank wars that completely destroys every hope she ever had of living like a normal person.Except for the fact that maybe her new roommate isn't actually so bad after all.
