pure vampire Chapter 2

CHAPTER TWO 

The rest of the morning passes in a blur and before I know it's time for lunch . You would think being fat lunch would be my favorite time of day but it's far from it . Here at Mercy Heights the principal thought it would be a great idea that everyone break for lunch at the same time . So for an hour a day all my enemies are in one place .

Do I want to be there? No thanks . Simon and I usual get our lunch then find somewhere not in the cafe to hide out . I had just paid for my sloppy Joe and was waiting for Simon beside me to finish paying for his . If he hurries we can make our escape without bumping into my tormentors . I sigh impatiently watching him count out the exact change when the unthinkable happened .

My sister and a few girls walk up to us smiling . Wait smiling? That can't be right . I look to Simon who has the same confusion on his face . Deciding quickly not to risk a public fight with her I loop my arm through Simons and attempt to walk away from them . We're not so lucky .

"Wait sis I want you to sit with us today" Kim tells me nicely . Stunned I freeze on the spot . She cannot be serious . Me? The school loser; the girl she hates most . The she spent the last seven years torturing? I raise an eyebrow at her waiting for the punch line, insult or joke but her and friends just continue smiling at me friendly .

"You-you guys hate me . This has to be a joke" I finally mutter out . My sister waves her hand dismissively taking my hand from Simons

"We're sisters I could never hate you . Now come on let's eat!" she exclaims while dragging me to the center table where all the cool kids eat .

I glance back at Simon begging him silently to come with me . He gives me an uncomfortable look before slowly following us . When we reach the table Kim drops my hand to sit on Jace's lap . I stand awkwardly next to the table . My heart pounds a tattoo on my chest and I get the feeling I should run while I still can .

"Sit!" she commands pointing to an empty chair across from them .

Shakily I sit down and Simon grabs a chair from another table sitting beside me . The whole cafeteria grows quiet and everyone is watching . It's no secret Kim despises me so I suppose everyone is as surprised by my presence here as I am . Slowly looking up from my tray I notice Kim smirking at me . What's that about?

I shift uncomfortably in my chair and it squeaks a little . The aura around this table is really making it hard to breathe normally . I can feel Jace's beautiful eyes on me but fear prevents me from meeting them . Somehow I always manage to get lost there .

"Well aren't you going to eat?" Kim asks still smirking . I peek down at my sandwich before picking it up carefully and taking a bite . As soon as my lips touch the bun a bright flash nearly blinds me . Kim twirls a camera in her hand shrugging her shoulders innocently .

"What? Mom says I need more pictures of you" she offers as an explanation . My gut twists; the feeling of uneasiness intensifies .

The plastic chair creeks again only this time loudly . A scream flies from my mouth when my chair suddenly collapses . Causing a very unsuspecting me to crash hard on the waiting floor with it .

The whole cafe grows silent before my sister leads the army with laughter .

A jock runs over to me with pink ears and sticks them on my head along with a pink pig nose too . I can't move the humiliation and sadness weighs me down . I hear the crowd around me laughing and can see multiple flashes from the pictures being taken but still I don't move .
