Tears & Blood Chapter Six

"Miss. Hoffman, so glad you could come."

"Yeah… right… lucky me." I snarled back.

Rick smiled, showing me his white teeth.

"So where’s this kid I’m suppose to be babysitting?"

"Didn’t you see him on the way in?"

"That… that goth kid’s the one… I have to show… around?" I stuttered, my jaw dropping.

"He has a name, why don’t you go greet him and ask." I turned around and went out the door.

His appearance has consisted of baggy black goth pants with white stitching, and long silver chains that clanked together when he walked. He had a black Devil Driver shirt on that showed off his six pack, and his shoes were black and white Etnies. Black eyeliner gently framed his midnight blue eyes that were close to being black, as they stared into my medium blue ones.

Taking a deep breath, I walked over toward him and his parents.

"Hi," I said to them, as they stood up, "I’m Lara. It’s nice that you could come."

‘Why the hell am I being so polite?’ This was like me at all… oh well…

"Such a proper young lady, and she’s very beautiful at that." Said that woman next to the new student.

"Yes, I’m sure she taste’s good as well." Said the man.

I blushed, but I tried to stay focused… but how could anyone remain focused when someone just said they would probably taste good? ‘Did he just say that I taste good?’ Then the gothic prince guy stepped forward.

"I’m Alexander." He introduced himself, as he took my hand and brought it to his lips, kissing it softly.

I thought the other blush would go away, but my face just got even redder. I stuttered as I talked.

"I’m… I’m… who am I?"

Alexander smiled, flashing his very straight, white teeth. It was almost if they were catching the light and reflecting off of then. Only hot models had those kinds of teeth.

"You’re Lara."

"Right, Lara, I’m Lara… nice to meet you."

I was dumbstruck… what a great time, huh? But I couldn’t get rid of it either, which made me start to get pissed off at myself. ‘Get a hold of yourself girl, he only kissed you hand… and made himself look so fucking hot… and he looks fantastic… so cute… so…’ I shook my head, freeing myself from my own stupidness.

I wanted to slap my own face, to help myself come back down to earth. But before I could speak again, or attempt to, Alexander did.

"This is my father Fredrick and my mother Elizabeth. Or Mr. and Mrs. Sterling."

"Nice to meet you both." I said looking at them.

"The pleasure is our’s. You are such a polite young lady." Said Fredrick.

I smiled, showing off my perfect teeth.

"Absolutely charming. May I ask your last name?" Asked Elizabeth.

"Of course… it’s Hoffman."

Mrs. Sterling smiled at me, then looked back over at her son.

"Well, your father and I have to be going. But I’m sure Lara here, will stay with you."

"Yup, that’s what I’m here for." Alexander smiled at me, making my knees grow weak and to make my blush return.

‘Snap out of it! You already have a boyfriend, now stop blushing… he’s just smiling at you.’

After Alexander’s parents were gone, I led him out of the office.

"Don’t worry, your stuff will be taken to your room by someone else. You don’t have to start classes till tomorrow, same with me. You can ask any questions, it doesn’t matter to me. But today I’ll just show you around campus. Then we can go into town and find something to eat. Trust me, you don’t want to have to eat the school food, unless absolutely necessary."

Alexander laughed at the last part.

"I’ll take you word on that."
