Chapter Eight

The next day Kara went to Michael’s room to apologize. To her misfortune, he didn’t seem to have the time to hear her apology. “I don’t have time to talk to you right now, Kara. I'm busy. I have to make sure everything is in order for the party tomorrow night.”

So this is how it was. She had her chance and she threw it away. It was probably for the best. “Right, I guess I'll talk to you later then.”

“It must not have been very important,” Michael said, organizing some paperwork on his desk.

Now he was chastising her for not insisting on talking to him. The entire situation was ridiculous to Kara. She opened her mouth to speak but changed her mind and walked away in silent frustration.

Michael watched her leave, and when she was gone, he collapsed into his chair, sulking. He feared he wasn’t making the right decision.

The party approached rapidly, and before long, everyone in the mansion was getting dressed in their finest attire: everyone except for Kara. While Kate and Amy primped in front of the mirror, Kara sat in front of the television, wearing a bathrobe. A bowl of popcorn sat on her lap. Her evening would be filled with testosterone packed action flicks all night long.

Kate couldn’t let sleeping dogs lie. “So,” she said as she smeared dark red lipstick on her pouty lips, “I heard Michael didn’t invite you to the party, Kara. Was it because of the argument you two had in the garden?”

Kara was not surprised that Kate had been spying on them that day. It was exactly the kind of thing she would do. “No. I just don’t want to go,” she replied, popping a buttery piece of popcorn in her mouth.

“You really shouldn’t be so bitter about this marriage. It’s not as if a vampire could have a serious relationship with a mortal.” She laughed and started ironing her hair. Kara hoped that she would burn up all her beautiful hair. “That’s the difference between me and you, Kara,” the tan girl continued, “I will love him and support his decisions no matter what. I don’t mind playing second to Hannah. That’s why Michael will always be mine in the end. Have fun spending the night alone”

Amy rolled her eyes and rushed Kate out of the room. “I’m so sorry, Kara. I hope you start feeling better soon.”

“Thanks,” she replied.

After her roommates left, Kara tried to watch one of her movies, but she had a hard time concentrating. She walked out onto the balcony, the breeze whipping her wispy white-blonde hair into her eyes. It rained earlier that day and the garden was glistening and wet under the moon.

Approaching footsteps behind her startled her. She turned around to find Logan standing in her doorway. “Why haven’t you left for the party? Everyone is gone. You’ll have to ride with us.”

Alyssa walked into the room behind him, holding a beautiful emerald green gown in her arms. “Hurry up! We’re going to be late!” She was trying to sound angry, but her smile gave her away.
