Chapter Five

** Poppy **

After agreeing to a date with Anson, I wondered what I’d gotten myself into. It wasn’t supposed to happen like this. I’d been to dozens of schools, met dozens of boys, all loners or misfits. It was my job. Usually I felt nothing, maybe a shred of guilt or sympathy, for the boys I preyed on. With Anson, it was different. He was different. He was smart, funny, and charming. He had more depth than all the other boys put together, and he made me feel…Well, he made me feel.

Flirting and dates were part of my act, drawing the target close before striking and completing my task, but the date with Anson wasn’t just a ruse. I wanted it. I wanted a real date with this handsome, charming boy, and I knew that it was forbidden.

Still, I allowed myself to think of him, late at night while lying in my bed. I had tried not to truly like him, knowing I’d have to betray him soon, but it hadn’t worked. When I was with him, I forgot why I was there, what my job was, and what I was. He made me laugh, and every smile I wore around him was genuine. With his strikingly dark red hair that framed his cobalt blue eyes and that brilliant smile, he haunted my mind long after we’d parted ways in the street.

Staring out the window of my newest bedroom, in the house Lyle was renting for our stay there, I watched the stars peeking out from the velvet blanket of the dark sky. The blue was just a shade or two darker than Anson’s eyes. The moon was full, staring blankly back at me from where it hovered so many miles above the ground. It was late, and I had school the next day, so I should have been sleeping, but I couldn’t. I just kept thinking about my date with Anson, planned out for the coming Wednesday. We were going to go to the cinema. I couldn’t wait.
