Free Dark Night by Stefany Rattles

crap if they’re being unfair.” I honestly
couldn’t believe how the system worked here, so I was shocked to
hear what Mereily had said. I would have given her the dress but I
didn’t want to get in trouble for it.
    “No. You’re wearing the dress and you’re
gonna be the bomb. It’s not your fault, they’re unfair but that’s
not your problem okay?” She smiled.
    “If you say so but cheer up, or I’ll make a
fool out of myself in front of everyone.” The girls giggled.
    We got dressed and ready. My gown looked
incredible, I didn’t want to wear my hair up, neither did the girls
but we knew everyone else was going to leave it down, because it
was just uncomfortable in a ponytail or anything like that. Sophie
decided to pull it sideways putting a diamond clip to hold it. Her
hair was already curly but she made her dark curls bigger and it
looked so gorgeous. Mereily, pulled back her bangs, she teased it
to give it a fresh look and added sparkling beads throughout her
hair like a spider web, she left hers’ straight. It still looked
like it took hours to get it to look like she did. I, on the other
hand pinned it up the sides and didn’t necessarily curl it but only
enough to make waves and I used pearl diamond clips to add more
personality. All three of us looked fabulous! like Mereily says. I
decided to go more natural with my makeup, using the usual plus
adding extra eyeliner and a neutral light eye shadow and mascara. I
didn’t want to stand out and I encouraged Mereily and Sophie to be
more dramatic with theirs. When I looked at the time it was already
five-thirty-eight. We decided to grab some snacks and drinks from
the kitchen and sit and watch some TV. The girls liked MTV better.
And that’s what we watched, while we waited.
    Sophie went to the restroom, and I didn’t
trust her enough yet to tell her what I was going to tell Mereily.
“ I promised to not say anything but I have to tell someone, and
you’re the only person I trust.” I turned to Mereily and confessed.
She was the only person I could trust because I was alone.
    “Tell me, what’s wrong?” She asked
concerned.
    “I… bonded with Robert… it was an accident I
don’t know we just liked it, I guess and now we can’t tell anybody,
we’re stuck together.” I wanted to cry but I was holding it in. I
just felt better telling someone about it.
    “Oh my god, earlier when I
came looking for you I saw you guys, just a glimpse, the door
wasn’t closed all the way. But I didn’t think anything of it. I
just thought you were getting the V2.”
    I was embarrassed at the thought of her
walking in on us and having to watch that. “I was, but then it got
a little out of hand and….” I looked away, ashamed of myself.
    “That is odd. Can you feel it?” She asked
more curious.
    “Right now? Yes, I can still feel him. I try
to block it but I can’t.” I was miserable for dragging her into it
I haven’t been here a day I was already in problems (like Genevieve
had said). It’s just my life.
    “You shouldn’t though, in class I learned
that you only feel it if you touch it’s like a you are both one and
its very intense, but if you’re not touching you shouldn’t be able
to feel it. Only full vampires do, or those who are close to
turning into one.” Obviously she knew what she was talking about,
and I wasn’t about to doubt her word, that worried me.
    “Robert is going to be one soon.” I pointed
out.
    “Yes, but not just him. Both sides would need
to be turning close to being full for that to happen.” We heard
Sophie opening the door and gave each other a quiet look.
    “After the ball, could we talk?” I
whispered.
    “Definitely,” She whispered
back right before Sophie joined us.
    “What’s all the fuss about?” She asked,
sitting back down.
    “Uh, Nothing, I was just
telling her about that cutie you like, what was his name?” Mereily
answered quickly.
    “Kevin, I don’t like him. I love him.”
