Chapter Nine

“Evie! Jane! Wake up! You guys are going to be late for school.”

I groaned when I heard Mason’s voice through my bedroom door. My body felt achy and my head was pounding. I couldn’t even remember what happened after leaving the Willows last night. I sifted through my memories of the night before, straining myself to recall every moment, every detail. Each memory was clouded with an image of Remy. I opened my eyes, trying to get his face out of my mind, but it didn’t work. Even with the background of my bedroom, he was still evident.

Dark eyes. He had mysteriously beautiful dark brown eyes. When we had taken our walk, I had thought at first that they just looked dark because of the night sky, but even back at the party, with the few park lights glowing, his eyes had been dark. His hair was dark too. Not quite black, but definitely inky and it looked perfectly silky and messy in that fabulous way that some guys could pull off. His skin had been fair, almost giving him a gothic like appearance, but even so, he hadn’t looked unhealthy or odd. His smile was both sad and playful at the same time. Like a puppy you wanted to play with, but one that almost required too much attention therefore causing it to whine and cry when you had to leave it.

I was so caught up in mentally dissecting his features that I didn’t notice Jane sitting on the bed next to me. She was already dressed for school and had just been staring down at me while I slept. It made me uncomfortable in a creepy sort of way and I cleared my throat before sitting up, pulling the blankets with me.

“Why didn’t you wake me up?”

She shrugged her shoulders and looked down at the hands she had folded in her lap. “You spent most of the night tossing and turning so I figured you could use the extra sleep.”

“Really?” I asked confused.

She nodded, “you must have been having a nightmare.”

I didn’t remember having one. “That’s weird,” I mumbled, more to myself then to her, “what time is it?”

She was blocking my view of the alarm clock so I couldn’t see for myself. “It’s almost seven.”

I groaned, no wonder Mason was screaming at us. I usually left the house by seven thirty and I hadn’t even taken a shower yet. I scrambled out of bed and grabbed my towel. Jane stood too and stopped me by placing her hand on my arm. “Evie, can I talk to you for a second?”

I wanted to tell her no, that there was not enough time for that, but the look in her eyes made me pause. “Sure.”

She sat back down on the bed and pulled me with her. When we were sitting, she didn’t let go of my arm, instead she ran her hand down the length of it and twined her fingers with mine. It wasn’t a terribly odd thing for her to do.
