Cold Hearted...3

Ren sits with Harmon at lunch..........Oh, snap!!!!!
Okay, so I know I lied and I never posted when I said I would but I have a good reason! I have 'stage fright" which means I hate having to stand I front of people and talk and stuff. My English teach told us we had a few weeks to mesmerize a speech and we would present it to the class. I freaked out!!!!!! I wrote one chaper for my other story but I just couldn't concentrate enough to write a chap for this story sooooo....yup. But I finally presented my speech (I got 100!) so know i can stop being such a worry-wart...I fear clowns, spiders, snakes, heights, and being the center of attention! I would explode from embarrassment if the entire school knew I was the one writing this....even though there is one boy who is my friend and cheers for me whenever I do stuff like present. He is soo sweet! Anyway, stop reading this and read the story!!!!!!

Sofia K@Yes Harmon is desperate...desperate to distance himself from Ren!!!!! He never sleeps with girl though, he just wants their blood...

Robyn@Yes, guys are deff cloudless!

Queen of Darkness@Like Harmon??? Should I be worried...JK Lol!

Becky@Thanks! I'm so happy that you like it! You rock!!!!

I woke up the next morning feeling a lot better. Singing last night calmed my nerves and made me forget about all the problems in my life.

I got out of bed and went to get dressed. Not that it would take me long because I have to wear this stupid uniform! Ugh, I hate it! Luckily for me, my converse would never be left out.

After getting dressed, I went downstairs to eat. To my surprise, my parents were already gone at work, lucky me. I grabbed a pop tart and went out the curb to wait for the bus. It wasn't going to be here for a few minutes so I sat in the grass and finished off my breakfast. The cold morning air didn't effect me this time because I remembered to bring a jacket, my precious hoodie. I've had it for a few years now and even though it's plain and simple, it's my second favorite thing to wear.

I heard a door opened then close so I turned to see who it was...Harmon. I quickly looked away and acted like I hadn't noticed him. A car door slamming told me he was leaving for school. He backed out of his driveway then drove off down the street. That's when I looked. He was already halfway down the street so he most likely didn't se me watching him. He needs to get out more, have more friends. Well, I do think he's friends with Peter but he creeps me out sooo...hmmm? I have an idea...

Harmon P.O.V.
****************
She was sitting on the grass in front of her house, waiting for the bus. She didn't even look my way. Maybe she really didn't like me... That's a first. I get in my car and head out for school. Halfway down the street, I look in the rear-veiw mirror. She's watching me drive away. A smile plays on my lips...Maybe she does like me.

I arrive at school and meet up with Peter and a few other guys. I hate being near them but I didn't want to be labeled as a loner so I had to pick somebody. Pete's leaning against his locker, talking to some girl...more like flirting. The girl starts giggling and then she walks away. I stop at my locker, next to his, and get out my books.

"Another one?" I ask amused by him.
"Oh yeah, her name is Debra and she is hot!" he watches her walk down the hall.
"What about your girlfriend?" He laughs and pats my shoulder.
"Dude, really? I get whoever whenever! I'm just cool that way...but there is one girl. She hasn't even fallen for me yet but I invited her to the beach with us. You're still coming right?" Okay so just in case you haven't figured it out, I'm a vampire. But not a stereotypical one. I don't burn or combust into flames when I'm in the sun and we don't have any kind of super powers. We're not that different from humans actually, we just need blood to survive.

"Uh, yeah man. Wouldn't miss out on a party full of hot chicks," I say while leaving for my next class. Pete and his gang are on the dumb side but I just ignore it and pretend to be friends with them. Right now I'm wondering who this chick is, the one that doesn't like him.

~(Lunch)

I sit at my usual table, ignoring everyone else. Even Ren, who keeps looking at me for some reason. I pull out my iPOD and drift off into the music. Mostly classic rock and some alternative songs.

I relax, putting my feet up in a chair and leaning back on the one I'm sitting in, and close my eyes. Hopefully I won't be bothered today.

No one comes over for the first few minutes until an overwhelming but intoxicating smell of peaches drifts over me. I open my eyes to see Ren sitting across from me eating her lunch casually. I nearly fall out of my chair when I see her and she just eyes me curiously. I pull my headphones out.

"What are you doing?" The only reason girl sit here, is so they can ask me out. Is that whu she's here?
"I'm just sitting here. Is that a problem? I mean, we are neighbors and we might as well get to know each other, right?" she gives me a cute smile and continues with her lunch.

"Are you here to ask me out?" I ask. She chokes on her food and when I say it and quickly drinks down some water. Not the reaction I was expecting...

"What!? No! I..I just wanted to become friends is all. I don't ask out guys I don't know," she says quickly. I notice her blush slightly but her face seems serious.
"So you're saying that you'll ask me out after we get to know each other?" She glares at me.
"No! Why do you keep asking me that? I just want to get to know you. That's all, I swear," she says. I felt...hurt? No, well, i don't know. I never met a girl who said they didn't want to go out with me and I was starting to get pissed off. Why doesn't she like me?

"Well, go away because I don't want to get to know you, or anyone," I say, putting my headphones back on. She sits there with a mixture of shock, confusion and even a glimmer of hurt in her eyes. I ignore her and listen to my music, closing my eyes.

Her sweet smell vanishes quickly and I peek to see she left. I need to do whatever to keep her away from me.

The murmurs and whispers kick up as I leave from the table. Can he be any more rude?! All I wanted to do was chat and get to know him. Not ask him out. What confused me was why did he seem to really want to know if I were? As soon as I didn't want to ask him out, he shut me off and ignored me completely. What a jerk!

I make it back to my table, seeing the eager eyes of Keira, Josh and Riley. Tay just looks like her usual serene self. She's never one to get worked up. I plopp on my seat and sigh.

"What did he say?"
"What did you ask him?"
"What's going on?"

I was bombarded with questions so I put my hand up, silencing them. They shut up and stared at me, awaiting my answers.

"All I did was go sit with him to get to know him. He asked me if I were going to ask him out and when I said no, he got all pissy and told me to go away."

They stare at me in shock, except for Tay, and I shrug.
"Why did he do that? You'd think he would be happy that one girl who sits with him isn't trying to jump him and have se-"
"Don't say that word! You know how I hate bad words!" Keira yells at Josh. He just sighs but smiles at her anyway. He really does love her.

"Well, I'm still ijn shock that you sent over there!" exclaims Riley. Tay just shuts the book she was reading and looks up at me.
"I think there's more to that. Maybe he wanted you to ask him out. He might have said yes," she says calmly. I didn't even think of that but it was highly unlikely.

"I doubt it. He ignores me whenever he sees me. Changing the subject, do you guys want to come to the beach with me? Peter invited me-"
"Peter! As in Peter Holmes?!" screams Keira. I just shake my head, wondering why she is so hyped up.
"Oh my gosh! We got invited to a cool kid's party! Josh, this is going to be so much fun!"
"You bet babe! I finally get to see you in a bikini!" he cheers and everyone laughs.

"I can't go," says Tay. We all look at her, I notice the subtle blush on her cheeks. Hmm?
"Why not Tay?" cries Keira. Tay just shakes her head.
"I'm busy with school work and I don't like Pete. He hangs out with all those other pigs and besides, I don't need a sunburn," she goes back to her book and everyone just sighs.

"Well, I'm going. The hottest girl always go to his parties and it's about time I get my groove on," says Riley. We all laugh as he wiggles his eyebrows while saying groove.

~(English)

"Pete, stop saying that! I'm not going to kiss you!" I'm so frustrated at Pete right now! He keeps changing his line saying "Ren, will you press thy lips to mine?" He is so stubborn.

He just smile cockily so I kick him under the desk.
"Ow! Jeez Ren, you turn me on when you act rough," I kick him again, this time in the shin. He finally shuts up and says the right line.
"Thank you," I say happily. He just mumbles something about not giving up and then the bell rings. His girlfriend come straight over and starts dragging him to the door.
"Still coming tomorrow?" he calls. I nod as he gets pulled out the door.

I make it to the bus on time and the ride takes only a few minutes. I get off at my stop and head to my house. My mom's car is in the driveway. Finally, someone is home!

I run to the door and call for her as soon I enter the house.
"MOM!"
"I'm in the kitchen!" she calls. I walk in to see her making...cookies? When I walk up, all I see is a plate of burned circles...
"Uh, are these cookies?" she groans and i laugh.
"I suck at cooking! I hope your father comes home soon," she laughs.
"Okay, then. I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to a party tomorrow," I say while trying to find at least one eatable cookie.
"Oh, really? So...will there be any...boys?" I smile.
"Yup, Lots of and they will all be shirtless," we both just look at each other, then burst out laughing.

"Fine with me, just be safe and don't let your father know," she winks and leaves for her room. My mom is cool like that. She trusts me enough to know I would never do anything I'm not supposed to. I dump the cookies in the trash and head ip to my room.

I'm so nit ready for tomorrow...
