The Bad Boys Club

Part 17

"Sam! Your ride is here!"my mom calls.

I fix my uniform skirt and glance at myself in the mirror. I smile at the barley visible hickeys below the colar of my shirt and then turn away, picking up my bag. I bring my sore finger so my mouth as I exit my room, suckling on it as if that would relieve the tenderness.

I walk down the stairs, meeting Andy at the base of the stairs. I pick him up and squeeze him into a hug that makes him giggle.

"Alright, when I get back you and me are going shopping"I whisper to my brother.

He giggles again and I rustle his hair.

"See you Mom, I'll be a little late."I say.

"Take all the time you need."she smiles.

My mother has been being surprisingly lenient with me, which of course I didn't mind. But it was unusual.

I fold my arms at her.

"Actually, I might take all night."I say.

"Take all the time you need"She repeats with the same generic smile.

"I'll be pregnant when I get back."I say, putting my hands on my hips.

"Have fun."She says with a smile.

"Yeah, your definitely compelled or something."I huff, looking at my brother.

"What does compel mean?"he asks.

"I'll explain when your older, stay here."I say.

I walk out of the house, seeing Jord and Ronnie leaning against Ronnie's car chatting.

"Which one of you dick twitches brain washed my mother?"I ask.

The sun roof slowly opens, and Shawn sticks his head out.

"That'll be me."He says with a smile.

"Why?"I ask, irritated.

"Oh come on Sammy, you can't have your new vampire boyfriend running in and out of you and your home all the time. People notice things."Shawn says.

"Go undo what you did."I demand.

"I can't, the trick lasts for a month."Shawn shrugs.

I angrily look at Ronnie who was chuckling. He instantly stops laughing.

"Come on baby, at least she doesn't care about us seeing each other. "Ronnie says.

"What the hell is wrong with you!?"I shout.

"Sam it's not a big deal she'll be back to normal in a few weeks."Ronnie says.

"You don't fuck with my family Ronnie, your such an asshole!"I say, stomping away from him.

"Sam!"Ronnie calls after me.

"Let her go, mate."I hear Jord say.

I angrily walk down the street towards the school.

...

"You seem tense"Thomas says, staring up.

"I'm just upset."I say, picking at the food he and I had ordered.

"What did Ron do?"he says with a chuckle.

I look up at him.

"Do you know about him? And the others?"I question.

He leans over to whisper to me.

"You can't smell it. But all vampires have a certain wiff of rotting flesh"he whispers.

I chuckle and then huff.

"Ronnie had Shawn put some sort of hex on my Mom. She's very lenient now, nothing I do bothers her."I say.

"That sounds like every teen girls dream mum, Sam."he says.

"Yeah, but that's not a mom. It's just like..a shell of a mom. My mom isn't like that. She cares."I huff.

Suddenly I see his demeanor change, and his hand comes to my shoulder. He pats it a few times.

"I'm sorry about your father."he says kindly.

I smile.

"It's fine. Who needs a dad anyway."I chuckle.

"Great point."he replies.

His hand moves down my arm till he reaches my palm, and then he reaches for my tender finger.

"Oh my."he says, feeling around on the tender flesh.

"What?"I question.

"There's venom trapped here. Can't you feel it?"he asks, looking in my direction.

"That's why it's so sore?"I question.

"Do you have something sharp? Something small and sharp?"he questions.

"I have a sewing kit in my bag, one minute."I say, swinging my bag around into my lap.

I dig the sewing needle from the kit.

"What now?"I question.

"Well, since it hasn't traveled through your system I assume it's in a blister like state. I'm going to need you to take that sewing needle and jab it deep into the flesh of your finger, horizontally."he says.

"Your joking right?"I question.

"Nope. We don't want to risk finding out if your immune or not, just do it."he says.

I gag at the thought of shoving a needle through my finger.

"It's either this or cut your finger off, love."he says.

I mentally shriek.
