Chapter 13

“Not that I want to invite myself over again,” Keegan said to Sadie as they emerged from their science class. “But I was hoping you’d go over the periodic table with me.”

Sadie kept a somber expression and stomped her way to her locker.

Concerned, Keegan took her by the elbow and turned her to him. “You don’t have to if you don’t want to. I know I’ve been spending a lot of time at your place lately, but…”

She cracked a broad, teasing grin. “Of course you can come, silly. Sorry, I’m only fooling around with you. All this science talk has left my brain eager to just laugh at nonsense. I love having you over, Keegan.”

Haven’t been taken in, his smile was bashful, yet showed a trace of playful vengeance. “Just for that I might not bring my world famous ravioli for dinner.”

He was so sweet, she thought as she put her things away in her locker and grabbed her purse. Not only did he give her a ride home every night, but he always brought something great for dinner. Too bad she and Alexis couldn’t really appreciate it. Not wanting any of it to go to waste, Sadie always brought whatever was left to a handful of homeless young men she’d become acquainted with on her midnight feedings.

There were simply lost souls who were having an unfortunate start in life and Sadie wanted to do what she could to help them.

“Mmm, sounds too good. You have to bring it over. I’ll make up for teasing you so childishly.”

He kissed the tip of her nose and smiled. “You’re already forgiven.”

In addition to his kind deeds, Keegan had also been instrumental in allowing Sadie to breeze through science. He was a natural and studying with him made everything easy to understand. Of course staring into his deep blue eyes tended to distract her at times, but that’s what made studying all the more pleasing.

They arrived to find Alexis gone and though she’d been on good behavior of late, Sadie was nonetheless pleased to have the house to herself. Keegan settled into the sofa and after grabbing him a soda from the fridge, Sadie took a spot nearby and they ran through the table of elements.

“You have such an easy way with all this,” Sadie said. They’d been running through them for almost an hour. He already knew them all by heart while she was still struggling with several of them. Her memory was usually considerably sharper than this and she wondered if her minimal feeding was affecting her mind. She looked at Keegan, appreciating everything about him…but why was her vampire senses weaken when she was around him?

“They say you're good at what you enjoy and I just love this stuff.” He tapped his textbook affectionately. “Even if I didn’t have to learn it in school I’d want to look up all of this.”

“I know what you mean. Only my love is for literature. I’ve loved all the books we’ve been asked to read and write about.
