Mystery in my cosy little town by true.vampire.witch (best e book reader for android TXT) 📖

a pretty name. Well you wanna come over sometime so we can…?”
I think I fainted, in fact I know I fainted because I woke up in the nurse’s office in his arms while he was waiting for the nurse to be available.
I groaned. He looked down and smiled.
“Well,” He said. “I guess I don’t have to worry about you being in a coma then!” He said with a chuckle.
“Ugh!” I said so embarrassed. I can’t believe I fainted.
He chuckled again. “So...”
“So what!” I said exasperated.
“Whoa, whoa, calm down. I was just ganna ask what made you faint, did you not eat breakfast or something?” He asked sounding kind of worried.
Come on Jane don’t say anything stupid. “Yeah I didn’t have breakfast.” I told him. “Yeah that’s it.” I mumbled. Thinking about the hot flash of pain that slammed into my body before i blacked out, or fainted or whatever.
“What?” He said.
“Huh? Oh, I said Yeah I didn’t have breakfast this morning.”
“Oh, O.K.” he said. “So are you ganna come over tomorrow? For the project I mean”
“Umm…” I felt light headed all i wanted to do was sleep. NO! You’re NOT going to faint again, breath, breath. “I’ll give you a call. If you give me your number!” I said praying to god I didn’t sound too hopeful.
“Yeah, here it is.” He handed it to me, he sounded really excited that I had taken his offer, but it was a different kind of excited.
I didn’t know why he sounded so excited though. It’s me Jane the leper of the school, I wander what he’s up to?
I came home to two brothers pelted with food and other things, probably garbage.
“OH MY GOD!” I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe. Both of them looked pissed.
Finally calming down a little, at least enough so that I could gasp in air. I asked what the hell had happened to them and they just glared at me. I smiled triumphantly and walked into my bedroom to call Tess and tell her about Stephen.
“Hello!” Tess answered her cell on the second ring, most likely expecting a call from me.
“Hey, Tess it’s…” I didn’t even finish before her chatter started.
“Yeah Jane I know it’s you I saw on my caller I.D., OH MY GOD did you see him he is so HOT!! YOU. ARE. SO. LUCKY!” She was screaming at me like she was insane and I was deaf. She was excited for me a hot guy talking to me was a big deal and she knew it.
“Tess, Tess, TESS!” I screamed at her trying to get her to stop talking she’s been talking for over an hour.
“WHAT? GEEZE!” She screamed back.
“GOOD GOD! You’ve been talking for over an hour.”
“Really?” Shock was in her voice. “OMG! I’M LATE!”
“Late for what?”
“I was supposed to meet my mom at the Mall ten minutes ago!”
I heard a click and then the line went dead, I listened to the dial tone for like three minutes before I hung it up.
“HEY, EDWARD JESSY!” I yelled to them.
“WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW YOU LITTLE NO GOOD ROTTEN---,”
I cut Edward off, “JUST GET UP HERE!”
I could hear him mumbling all the way up the stairs. I didn’t hear Jessy though.
“What do you want?” Edward growled looking like he was really tiered he had huge dark circles under his eyes and his face looked all sunken in so did Jessy’s.
“I’ve a proposition for you two,” I said with a vicious smile of my face.
“What is it?” Edward and Jessy asked interested.
“You two and I are even if---,”
“Oh here comes the if,” Edward interrupted disgusted.
“If you don’t mess with my lab partner when he comes over,” I said he really fast but they both seemed to still hear it.
“He?” They both repeated.
“Yes he! Now if you don’t mind I have to call him to schedule a time to go over to his house first.”
“Ooooo, Jay-Jay’s got herself a boyfriend,” Edward laughed viciously.
“Hey Edward watch it would you, I don’t want to wear these to school again tomorrow,” Jessy said worry on his face.
My face broke into a smile as I remembered something else, “And, Edward this is mainly for you.”
“What is it?” He asked cautiously.
My smile widened, “You have to ask someone out for me.”
His face became more tiered then it already was, “Who?” He asked not sounding excited at all.
“Tess,” I said happily “And you have to act like you want to and that you enjoy your time, get it, got it, good.” He looked taken aback. I just dismissed them by saying “Now if you excuse me I have a phone call to make,”

I first planed on calling Stephen then Tess, who would be ecstatic to hear me tell her that I overheard the conversation of Edward planning to ask her out.
“Hello?” Stephen’s voice came on the other end of the line.
“Hello Stephen, umm, I wanted to ask when you wanted to get together this weekend, for the project I mean.
“Oh, umm, you can come over now if you want,” He said kind of quickly.
“Umm… I need to ask, but I’d love to!” I said my voice so much calmer then I felt inside. My stomach was full of butterflies and they were jumping up into my throat. "Just one sec," I said still flustered.
"Heather I'm going over to my science partners house."
"Ok! He or she? Be home from her house before dinner."
"It's a he and ok." I said he fast hoping she wouldn't hear it, but as usual she did.
“Parents ganna be home?”
“YUP!”
"When you come home tell me everything!" She said sounding ready to kill if needed.
"No promises." I said while I climbed out of my window. I usually save this escape route for when Edward and Jessy are planning something and I find out about it, but it's good for this too.
I put my cell back up to my ear, "Ok I'm back Stephen, and I'm on my way." I said sounding way calmer then I felt.
"Great!" He said not even trying to hide his excitement.
I could swear that I heard him say, my first insider, but it was probably my imagination.

“Stephen? Where do you live?”

“99th central 4256 boulevard lane.”

“Ok, be there soon!”

Hey!" I said cheerfully, "Do you have any idea's for the science project yet?"
"No," he said not sounding like that's what he wanted to talk about at all. Becoming perky again he said, "I was hoping you would have."
"That’s ok, I’ve got loads!" I kinda squeaked I hope he hadn’t noticed, he didn't seem to have.
"Ok so let's hear them."
"Ok as long as you don't laugh at any of them."
"I make no promises," He said giving me a chuckle.
"Ugh, fine I have no choice anyway 'cause we have to do the project!" I said exasperated.
He chuckled as I knew he would when I told him my idea and stops short when I said we should do a project on blood. "Each of us pricks our finger and then explain how we found out our blood types!" I finished in a rush that was my best idea.
"Ok... but where are we going to do the pricking and storing and stiff?" He asked, he was tense and was trying but failing to hide it.
I giggled, "Are you afraid of blood!" I was still giggling.
"No!"
He was NOT afraid or just doing an awesome job at acting. I thought I saw a hint of worry in his eyes for what I don't know.
"No I'm not I-- I just want to get a good grade is all, so we have to know where to keep the stuff right?"
"Ok...?" I was starting to think something was up.
We went up to his room and his mom came to check on us periodically, I thought nothing of it just a mother being a mother until I started to notice every time she came in she gave this look, I brushed it off as a warning look but my skin still got goose bumps.
I looked at the clock and saw that I only had ten minutes to get home in time for dinner!
"AH CRAP!" I said exasperated.
"What's up?" He said swiftly moving to my side.
"I'm supposed to be home in ten minutes and my house is at least fifteen-twenty minutes from here!" I lied hoping he would offer to drive me home.
"Hey don't freak I'll give you a ride." He said smiling.
"Thanks so much, 'Kay let's go!" I was running out the door and stopped dead when I saw what kind of car he had. It was the Vintage-G Porch convertible!”
"How did you get that car!?" I said in awe and suspicion.
"Oh this peace o’ junk?" He said acting like it was a car from the dinosaur ages.
"Did you just call the care that isn't coming out until next year a piece of "junk"?""
"What this car has been out for three years in Germany, why hasn't it been here?" he asked in awe then answering his own question, because Americans have to make shit so damn expensive and make it one mile per two gallons." He said like I wasn't there or like I wasn't an American.
I brushed off the insult, "Well I really need to get home or I will be in sooo much trouble!"
"Well we don’t want that now do we? Then I can't see you for a while." he said with his cute sarcastic smile.
“Yeah, now if you excuse me we really need to get going.”
“Oh, right! Come on lets go.” He said quickly.
When I got in the car I was instantly overwhelmed by his smell. It didn’t smell like Ax or Old spice or the normal crap boys wear, it smelled of nature and comfort, a relaxing scent I leaned my head back and breathed deeply several times.
We got home quicker then I would have liked, but his goodbye was very formal until I got out of the car.
“Here let me get that for you.” He said moving quickly to the other side of the car to hold the door open for me.
“Thank you, kind sir.” I said with a curtsy.
Chuckling he said, “Ma lady, have a nice day.”
Then he hugged me I was shocked but I liked it, I sat there breathing him in and then reluctantly he let go.
“Promise me something, be careful!” He seemed very protective as he looked at my house with uncertain eyes.
“I promise,” I said, brushing off the look of hatred I know I saw flash in his eyes when he looked at my house.
“Ok then, see you tomorrow,” He said back to his normal self.
“Am I coming over again tomorrow?” I asked
“No, aren’t you going to be at school tomorrow?” He sounded worried.
I laughed, “Of course wouldn’t miss it for the world!” I waved at the car till it was out of sight.
I felt like crawling in a hole and dyeing god I was so obvious oh well even if I did scare him off it wouldn’t really hurt I’m used to it.

“Hey I’m home!” I said to Heather.
“Ha, I can see that and how was your study date?”
I went up to
