It's been a full week since Naomi and I followed Kimberly to that church of the God of Light, and honestly, I was getting a little worried. From that day until now, she hasn't shown up at school even once.
Did she really see us and decide not to come back because she was embarrassed, afraid that the rumors about her being a church girl had spread all across Ordrienne High?
I really hope that isn't why, because if it is, then her devotion to the God of Light is even more pathetic than my supposed devotion to the Vampire God — the one I promised to worship all the time, but haven't even lit a single fucking candle for.
To be fair, I did spend an entire afternoon looking him up online.
I searched, in this order:
● information about the Vampire God
● who is the Vampire God?
● the real Vampire God, not the one from videogames!
● milf and teen boy fucking hard
● how to create a Vampire God: tutorial
And despite all this in-depth research, I still have no idea whatsoever who this Vampire God is supposed to be.
Whatever. If he ever feels like showing up and telling me who the hell he even is, he knows where to find me.
Anyway, I feel a lot better now that Kimberly is finally back at school after being gone for a whole week — though she clearly doesn't look too good. She's limping slightly on her right leg; she must've been in some accident.
She confirms it a moment later while talking to the guy sitting next to her.
From what my enhanced vampire hearing picks up, Kimberly twisted her ankle while walking on some mountain trail and cut her calf on a sharp branch.
Not that I care, honestly — Kimberly is a closed case for me now, so much that I already handed Naomi the twenty bucks.
«Jace, look what I spent my winnings on!» she cheers, proudly waving a big bag of weed in front of my eyes. «I'm saving this for Saturday night, since you said you're sleeping over, right? Trust me, this stuff is good — straight from the Netherlands. We're rolling the fattest joint of our lives with this! It's the best way to get over heartbreak!»
I won't lie — I'm genuinely touched.
Now you see why I care so much about my friendship with Naomi? Seriously, where do you even find a friend this thoughtful, who spends her betting winnings just to help ease the pain of your failure?
She's the best, without a doubt. Anyway…
«Are you stupid or what, pulling out weed in class?» I mutter, snatching the bag from her hand and stuffing it into her backpack.
«Oh, stop being such a coward, Jace — there's more weed circulating around this school than in the worst alleys in the Bronx!»
I let out a long, resigned sigh and drag myself up from my chair.
«I'm gonna take a piss before break ends — try not to get yourself arrested in the meantime.»
And it's just as I'm walking toward the bathroom, lost in thought about the wild Saturday night waiting for me with Naomi — and about that urge to fuck her I've been carrying around all week — that something completely unexpected happens.
Something totally ordinary and at the same time completely insane.
Kimberly… just greeted me.
I wasn't imagining it. She really did just greet me!
Sure, it was just a tiny wave paired with the faintest excuse for a smile… but compared to her never acknowledging my existence, it's a huge step forward!
Though honestly, even this time she didn't look me in the eye — she just slightly lifted her hand as we crossed paths in the hallway — but who cares?!
That tiny gesture brought my hopes back.
I should tell Naomi… but if I do, she might actually resell the weed just to give me back the twenty bucks — and goodbye, massive joint.
But why did Kimberly greet me…?
Maybe almost dying made her realize that a young, hot girl like her shouldn't leave this world before experiencing a high-quality dick like mine?
Yeah, that must be it — that's the only explanation.
Well, since it's her, I'm ready to forgive her and give her a second chance — I'm a generous vampire.
