“O..oh, uhm, I came back yesterday.” I told her.
“Oh, that’s nice. I was out yesterday because my family went on a trip. I am glad that you’re back now though.” She was smiling at me and looking as if she was as calm as she could be.
“You are?” I tilted my head at her. “Wh..why?”
“Well, you seem to be interesting. I wanted to be your friend. Most people ignore me because I am new. And a lot of idiots ignore you as well. I think you look cool, and your hair is awesome.”
“Y..you think so?” She was giving me an expression that was envious for some reason.
“Yeah. My dad makes me wear a wig when I am at school and in public. I am a Fae.” She smiled at me, and I finally had the smell click in my head. She reminded me of the scent that Aunt Glory had.
“Why do you wear a wig?” I looked confused.
“Well, it probably wouldn’t be that big of a deal at school, but in the city it would. My hair is bright pink. And that isn’t normal. A lot of people in the cities look at my parents like they are criminals or something. They think that they dyed my hair. I hate the wig, and I can’t wait until I am old enough to be able to 鈥榙ye my hair’.” She giggled at me. “Once that time comes, I can go without the wig unless I want to blend in. This thing itches like crazy.”
“Oh, I never thought about wearing a wig. I guess my parents just thought that the albino angle was the best way to go.” I couldn’t help the smile that was on my face. This was the first time that I had been to school in a long time that I had smiled, laughed, and enjoyed myself. And it had only been a few minutes of conversation.
“Yeah, that is actually better. These things suck.” She tugged on the brown hair that hung near her shoulder. “I want to get rid of it as soon as I can.” She shook her head. “By the way, my name is Breanna Applebloom.” She held a hand out to me.
“I know. I have heard your name. I am Zaley Gray.”
“Daughter of the King and Queen. Yeah, I know you too. I think you’re awesome, Zaley. And I really do mean it when I say that I wanted to be your friend.”
She was giving me a look that was completely open and friendly. And from the way that she smelled, I knew that she wasn’t a threat or anything like that. She would be my only friend if I said yes, and that made me even more nervous. Instead of answering her right away, I just lowered my head.
“Zaley? Is something wrong?” She tilted her head, wondering why I hadn’t answered her. “O..oh, y..you don’t want to be my friend, do you?” She looked hurt now. I could tell that it had taken a lot for her to get up the courage to ask me to be her friend. She was a lot like me. Shy because she was different.
“No, it’s not that.” I stopped her from getting up with a rush of words.
“Then what is it?” She looked a little on guard as she sat back down in her chair.
“Well, it uhm, it’s because I don’t have any friends. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know if I would be a good friend or not.”
“Ha ha ha. Don’t worry about that, Zaley. All you need to do is be you. We can hang out and play games. We can play together. There isn’t just one way to be friends. There are a lot of ways. And well, I don’t have any friends here either. So, we will be helping each other out here.”
“Y..yeah.” I nodded at her. “I guess that would be good. I would like to have you as a friend.” And I really would. She was nice, I could tell. And I knew that Zachary, Zander and Zayden would all be happy if I managed to get a friend. Then I wouldn’t be alone all the time. My friend would be there with me when someone tried to pick on me. And then I wouldn’t feel so lonely anymore.
“So, you want to be my friend?” She confirmed it with me. “Really?”
“Yeah, I do. I want to be your friend, Breanna, thank you.” I didn’t know what to do now, but Breanna seemed to. She threw her arms around my shoulders and hugged me tightly. “Yay! I have a new friend. Thank you, Zaley.”
“Eww. You’re friends with that murderer?” Billy Arman said as he turned in his seat. “You’re both creepy weirdos.”
“Really? Well, I happen to like being a weirdo.” I saw Breanna’s eyes start to glow. She was Fae, and that meant she had magic. And she was using it to threaten Billy. “So keep your opinion to yourself, moron. No one wants to hear it.” I saw the flash of fear in Billy’s eyes and watched him spin around in his chair like he was on a rollercoaster or something. It was so fast that it was dizzying.
“I think we are going to be good friends, Breanna.” I said as I looked at her. “Really good friends.”
“Of course.” She smiled and bumped her shoulder against mine. “I hate idiots as much as you do. We’re a match made in heaven.” We both laughed as the teacher came into the classroom. It was time to start learning.
New Baby Named
****
Riviana
****
I was sitting with Joaquin late one night, trying to think about what it was that I wanted to get for a snack. This time my cravings were hitting me hard and fast. I couldn’t decide if I wanted something salty or sweet though, and it was bothersome.
Still, it had me thinking about the new baby and how I needed to start preparing for them. And then it made me start to remember the conversation that I had had with Dietrich earlier today. We found out about the baby about two weeks ago now, and I knew that we still had a long way to go until they got here, but I wanted to get a jump on a few things. The baby wasn’t due until March the sixth, but that didn’t seem that far off while sitting here in the middle of September. It felt like it was going to be here in no time at all.
Anyway, the conversation that I had with Dietrich earlier was about the baby. Specifically, whether it was a boy or a girl. Aside from waiting until Griffin could do an ultrasound, this was the only way for me to know the baby’s gender. Shawn and Dietrich were like the best gender revealers there were. Yeah, OK, any vampire would do, but Shawn and Dietrich were close to me and Joaquin, so they were the only ones that I would ask to do this for me. And of course, Dietrich was more than happy to answer the burning question that I had.
Now that I knew though, I needed to tell Joaquin. And I needed to ask Abigail for my snack. I figured that I could put in my request for that before I started the important things. The food needed time to be prepared after all, and I didn’t want to have Abigail working too late into the night.
I sent her a message, on her phone not mentally, that I wanted something that was salty and sweet, since I couldn’t decide. She messaged back that she would have it up to me within twenty minutes. And with that settled, I was able to talk to Joaquin about the new baby. This was exciting, because there was something else that I wanted to talk to him about. Something that I thought that he might be a little interested in hearing.
…..
“Joaquin?” I called out to him as he finished getting dressed. He had just taken a shower and I could see the steam pouring off of his naked body.
“Yeah, Little Bunny?” He asked me as he paused on his way to the closet.
“I want to talk to you about something.” I gave him a calm look that didn’t give anything away. He was still suspicious of me though. I could see it in his eyes.
