Becky? Are you in there?
I heard some whispering voices and a giggle.
Becky? Is that you? Are you okay?
I shined the light on a few bales of hay. On an empty ladder. Then the tractor. It caught Becky, who quickly covered her face.
Becky, what are you doing in here? You hate the dark.
Her hair was messy and she bore a menacing smirk on her face. I helped her up when I noticed two fresh wounds on her neck.
No! What has Sebastian done to you?
What are you and Alexander waiting for?
NoBecky! What about Matt?
Hes not a vampire!
Just then I heard a beeping sound. I awoke to find Mrs. Hathaway and a classroom full of students staring at me.
Miss Madison, she said with a stern voice. Is that a cell phone I heard?
Noit was my alarm clock.
The class laughed.
I have the authority to confiscate anything that is electronic, other than a calculatorwhich, I might add, you dont need in history class.
Mrs. Hathaway returned to her lesson, and I quickly checked my message.
Lets make history together.
I glanced up and saw Trevor peering back at me.
I shook off my dream, and Mrs. Hathaway stepped out of class.
What are you doing this weekend, Becky asked, besides sleeping?
Alexanders party was fast approaching. I didnt have much time to decorate. I only had one day to gather some gothic and groovy items. Id been so distracted with keeping Sebastian away from Becky that I hadnt had much time to be excited about Onyx and Scarlets arrival or figure out something to wear.
Uhnot sure, I finally answered.
Why dont we all get together?
I think Alexander has plans, I said truthfully.
Doing what?
Im not sure. I just think I heard him say he was doing something. Nothing bigjust hanging in.
We can stay in, toounless you dont want us over.
Ohits not that. I just hate for you to cancel something dreamy like a movie night when all we are doing is hanging out playing video games.
Matt loves gaming. Besides, hes never been inside the Mansion. And I havent either, for that matter. We were only outside for Alexanders Welcome to the Neighborhood party.
How about I get back to you?
