The Siren's Vampire Soulmate

CHAPTER 2

MATTHEW: 

I rolled my eyes at Sophia as she was talking about the new girl that was starting school today. "Come on Soph. I really do not want to hear about this new girl. I'm sure she's also sick of people talking about her, after all she's starting here so late." She gave me an annoyed look. "Come on Matt! Just let me have my fun. All the boys are thinking about her, even a few girls. I guess she's gorgeous, she's moved here from Florida, I guess her parents have died or something in a crash, she's living with her sister, who I guess who is as equally as gorgeous as she is. Everyone is thinking about getting into her pants. You'd think they'd be a little more caring since the girl's parents died, and that is why she has moved here." Sometimes I think Soph just likes to listen in on everyone's thoughts just so she knows everything, she loves knowing everything. I shook my head at here. "Soph stop listening in on everyone's thoughts, it's rude. Besides their human, and human boys are completely controlled by their hormones." Sophia pouted at me, and then looked down. I sighed grabbing the rest of my books. When I turned back around she was down on the floor tying my shoes. "Sophia, honestly, I'm a big boy, I can tie my own shoes." She looked back up to me, slowly making her way back up. She was tall for a girl, probably about 6 foot, but she was still shorter then me.She gave me a flirty smile, and I felt guilty. "Come on Matt, I just don't want you falling for anyone else." She waved and winked at me before walking away to her next class. Flipping her hair dark brown hair, and shaking her butt slightly as she walked. I shut my locker and sighed walking to class. Even after I've rejected Sophia, and told her I've love her as a sister, she still does things like this. It just makes me feel guilty and uncomfortable. She's a gorgeous, any guy would be lucky to have her. She's tall, chocolate color, straight hair, tan skin... she could have any guy she wanted. But for some reason she has set her sights on me. That's why her mom changed me, I guess I remind her of her beloved, he died somehow. Soph never really likes to talk about it. Sometimes I wish I could see her as more, but I just can't. Even after my rejection that doesn't stop her from trying. I was almost to my next class, it was held in the auditorium lately when I got the smell of this mouth watering smell. It was like.. Lilly's? No, not normal Lily's, no, it was softer then that. I started rushing towards the scent, I walked into my drama class and there was this beautiful girl. She had long black, almost blue hair, she was short, her skin pale, but it made her blue eyes pop. She was talking to Mr. Leo the drama teacher. I walked up to them and when she looked at me it was like she had just seen a ghost. We stood there looking at each other. I inhaled her scent. It was Lily's of the Valley's with a hint of lavender, it is such a beautiful, clean smell , I could feel my teeth extending. I tried to calm myself down but it was hard. Oh goddess, my beloved is human. How was I going to control myself? I'm normally okay with humans, but she smells so good..... Mr. Leo suddenly cleared his throat. "Matthew this is Zapphire. I know you're my teaching assistant, but would you be Zapphire's partner? All the students are paired up. We're running lines today of random plays." I smiled, and nodded. "Of course, I would love to help Miss Zapphire." Her name came off my tongue so smoothly, I loved her name, it suits her. As beautiful as she is. I thought. How did I get so lucky to have the Goddess bless me with such a beautiful beloved? I don't care that she is human, we can make this work, I'll control myself. Zapphire shook her head and looked back at Mr. Leo. "I'm fine Mr. Leo, I don't need to take your teaching assistant from you. I can manage by myself." My beloved said in a quite voice. Did I scare her? Some human's extincts tell them to stay away, while others are bewitched by us and cannot help but be drawn to us. I'm going to have to seduce my beloved the old fashion way. Mr.Leo laughed and said, "Zapphire it's okay, I don't have enough to do for him honest. You'd be doing me a favor. I promise he doesn't bite." She nodded, and then looked down. Sorry Mr. Leo, I can bite, but I'm gonna do my best not to. I grabbed my beloved's hand, feeling the sparks all over my hand. She jumped but didn't reject my hand. "Come Miss Zapphire. Let's go run lines. Do you have the worksheets?" She was still looking down but she nodded. I lead her to a part of the a auditorium that didn't have loads of students, by the stairs, going to some higher seating. I sat down at the stairs, letting go of her hand and looked up at her. Hopefully I can get her to be less scared of me, maybe sitting down getting to her level, would also help. She's probably under 5'5 while I'm 6'4. Still looking down, my beloved started speaking. "Matthew, look...." She started stuttering. "Look.. I caaaannnn do liiiinnnes by myseeeellff... or I can fiiiinnnd a diiiffeerent partnerrrrr. You doo noooottttt have toooooo dooo thiiiiissss." I hated how nervous I was making her. How do I make this better? Why does it already seem like she doesn't like me. We're meant for each other, even though she's human can't she feel that still? I've waited over 80 years to find her, I'm going to make this work. "Why are you making a big deal about it? It's no problem, really." She looked up at me finally, and she looked pissed. "I'm not making a big deal about it, I just don't want to force you into anything." I smiled hoping to get her to calm down, but it didn't work. "Well, I'm okay with being your partner. Mr. Leo doesn't have enough for me to do, so this actually gives me something to do." She sighed, then said "Fine, whatever." Seriously, what did I do?
