Inject Me Sweetly / Dusk Until Dawn

:Inject Me Sweetly: Chapter Eighteen

"Really?"

He nodded. "Just like humans, there are ugly and beautiful vampires."

Fiona sighed wistfully. "Too bad there are more ugly vampires than handsome ones..."

"I'm actually glad I'm not going to high school with you guys now," Sebastian declared, his mouth twisting into a frown. "Fiona is going to be hard to deal with."

"Hey!" she protested.

"Try not to act too much like a love struck fool."

She glowered at him. "I won't!"

Raising a hand to my mouth to hide my smile, I gave Sebastian a knowing look. He pretended he didn't catch my look, focusing intently on the road. A warm feeling grew inside of me- it was cute how he was jealous over Fiona. It made me wish I had someone to be jealous over... I shook my head. That would be a bad idea. It might be fun to tease jealous people, but feeling jealous wasn't exactly a ball.

"Hey Stupid, what's your brother's name?"

My eyes snapped to Vincent and I frowned. "Don't call me stupid."

"I'll do whatever I want, Stupid," he drawled, gazing through the window mirror at me.

"His name is Jake," I told him, deciding to ignore his taunting. "He's a senior, like me, but older by a few months."

"What's a senior?" Sebastian inquired curiously.

I stared at him blankly. "You don't know what a senior is...?"

"It's what your called when you're in your last year of high school," Fiona explained, scooting her butt up in her seat so she could cling onto the back of Sebastian's head rest. "You know this! I was a senior when we... We..." she trailed off, a blush crossing her face.

Sebastian cleared his throat awkwardly as Vincent shook his head, making a disgusted face. "I know, Fiona. I was just teasing Emily."

I gave him a sarcastic look. "Oh, ha ha."

"Sorry," he apologized with a sad smile. "It's just that I won't be able to see you for a long time after I drop you off..."

My heart sunk at his words. "Oh, right..."

"Don't look so sad. I won't be gone forever."

"But it won't be the same without you around," I mumbled, slumping back into my seat. "There's no one who's as easy to talk to as you."

Vincent snorted. "Save your love talk until I'm out of the car."

"I think of him more as an older brother, for your information," I snapped, scowling at the back of his head.
