Chapter 17: Chapter 17

I am so perplexed of myself right now and I don't even know what to do. After Tom really made wash up his mess of course it would have end well if he didn't try to make out with me.

Lecture finally came to an end and the next is I find myself walking out of the school with Jenny by my side. I don't know if I should actually tell Jenny what had been going on with me lately but Tom made it clear to me that it better if no one knows about it.

I look around the parking garage trying to find Tom before I finally leave the school even though I am not certain he won't show up in my room in the midnight to do something I always crave for.

"You seems so lost are you okay?"Jenny asks, I take my eye off the parking garage and back to her.

"Nothing"I shrug.

"Oh!... anyway there is this great news I have been wanting to share with you"She looks so delighted and that got my attention.

"What's that?"I asks.

"Actually it Matthew"She giggles happily.

"What....about.....Matthew?"I drag my words.

"He finally asks me out on a date after you left the cafeteria and the even promise to take our relationship to the next level"She jubilate.

"Who is this Matthew and obviously the way he sounds when he will say ' I am promoting our relationship to the next level means he is only after what is under your skirt baby"I roll my eye.

"That's not fair"She frown.

"What! I am telling you the truth, I have so many experience with jerks like him"I try to be justified but instead she cackle.

"What?"I grimaced.

"Alex, we both know that you are never in a relationship and with attitude you are pulling up I don't think there is anyone who can actually date you"She said in between her laughter.

"That's not funny"I frown with a scoff.

"Gosh, I was just trying to be honest here and your face already squeeze concurrently.

"Whatever but definitely he is just trying to get an head from you"I add.

"I don't mind as long as I don't stay a virgin anymore"She shrug.

For a while I think Jenny isn't the one doing all the talking anymore or I hear her wrongly?. She doesn't mind giving up her virginity to anyone when Tom was giving me serious warning about getting too close to a guy or I will make him commit more murder.

"Are you still here?"Jenny apparently wave her hand on my face.

"Yeah... totally"I readjust my bag and nod awkwardly.

"So when am I getting to meet Mathew?"I asks.

"What kind of question is that?"She roll her eye.

"I don't deserve to know him?"I arched my brows.

"Matthew from the Vamps of course, he is just too cute"She giggles whilst my jaws is on the floor and my eye almost leaving my eye socket.

"What?!"I yell attracting some passerby but that only last for a few secs.

"What is wrong with you?"She asks.

"You can't date Matthew"I reply even though I sound so stupid before here but I am definitely sure Matthew didn't tell her about been a vampire, a blood sucker.

"And why can't I date Mathew?. He is totally cool and friendly and apart from the part he is a total flirt I find him perfect for me so all I need is a good reason why I should not date Matthew"She arched her brows at me.

"Jenny you can't date Mathew he is a..."I pause and stop talking.

"He is a what?"She asks.

"Nevermind I just think you are too good for him and I wish you guys a happy relationship"I fake smile.

"Did someone cast a spell on you"She roll her eye.

"No!"I blurt.

"I just hope you will open up to me and tell me what is going on between you and Tom and stop hiding in the wood"She muttered clearly enough for me to hear.

"Tom? I can't have anything to do with that bastard and for your information I hate him with passion"I try to clarify myself again.

Jenny must not know about Tom or I will be totally dead.

"I know you love me baby"that idiot voice ring just in my head at that point and I gasped.

"Are you okay?"Jenny is asking for the umpteenth time since we start walking home.

"Yeah I am fine"I replied.

"Get your ass home okay and please make things easy for me and open that window down"he said and my face squeeze together.

"Get the f**k off my head"I look around to know if he is actually around the place.

"I need to show you something tonight so please I will like to come more early"he reply.

"Shut the hell up"I yell angrily.

"What wrong with you"Jenny yell back.

"I...."I stuttered because I don't even know what to say right now. Who will believe I can actually read minds.

Jenny seems to be looking at me weirdly all through our way back home and alas we got home. "Daddy"I call happily as I see him sitting on the couch and watching his favorite television programme.

"Welcome home"I sit beside him and hug his waist while Jenny actually greet her favorite which turns out to be my Mom.

"How was school today?"he asks.

"Umm..good but stressful"I says and he smile.

"School can be easy my dear"he advise and I nod my head in approval.

"Both of you should go change and dress up into something better so we can all have dinner together"Mom adds.

"Can't I just stay with Dad"I roll my eye.

"No!"I She disapprove immediately.

I frown my face before I stand up and head back to my room but Dad calls back.

"Alex"

"Yes Dad"I asks almost taking the stairs.

"Actually I know I might be quite busy right now but if you feel been burden up I am always here for you"he said and a smile tugged my lips.

"Thanks Dad"I appreciate before I head straight to my room. At that particular moment in my life I still don't know what my dad words means that night but whatever it is I appreciate him for looking out for me.

I close the door behind me and made sure I lock it because who knows when that idiot will show up. Don't get me wrong, I actually like the fact he is always here every night but I think what my heart needs is for him to stay overnight and not disappear before the dawn.

Alexandra do you like him?I thought as I slump down on my bed before rising again looking so confused. I stare at my window for a while wondering if I should actually leave it opened as he has instructed?.

My eye look around and to me study table. I didn't take note of the strange book on my table until my eye feel on it again. "What's that?"I asks myself as I approach my study table.

Wtf!! I gasped at the sight of the book the Librarian gave to me right on my table. There is no way it must have disappear back here because I remember giving it back to the librarian, what is it doing in my room?.
