knew what else he was.
    Vampire.
    She fell into a deep abyss of grayness, her
mind shielding her from what she couldn't handle.
    She floated swiftly down her memory
pipeline, grateful for the escape it gave her.
     
    *
    last day
     
    Jason had his fingers entwined in Julia's,
their last day of school finally here, his plane tickets bought for
Vegas. They were gonna do it. She looked up at him and smiled. He
looked into the light gold depths and almost stumbled. She always
had that affect on him. He'd been drawn to her from the beginning.
A small furrow stood between her brows. Julia's hand came to her
temple, rubbing.
    He pulled her over to the side of the hall,
the sea of bodies and backpacks jostling past, an excited buzz
thrumming in the halls. He slid his palm underneath her
honey-colored hair and wrapped the back of it on her neck, gently
kneading the soft skin.
    “Is it the headaches
again?” he asked. Jules had been having these bone crusher
headaches. Jason thought it was the stress at home, trying to plan
a secret elopement could take its toll on a girl. He
smirked.
    “Huh, you really care!”
she said, giving him a mock-scowl, putting her hands on her
hips.
    Her luscious
hips , he thought.
    “No!” Ah... I was just
thinking all your super secret spy moves you're pullin' around Lily
are getting kinda old?” He cocked an eyebrow.
    She nodded, true... but. “Actually,” Julia
looked down at her hands that had found their way to Jason's hips
and she couldn't look away, a blush came over her face.
    Jason put a gentle finger under her chin and
raised it until their eyes met. Chocolate meeting gold. “What is
it?”
    She shoved her erotic impulses away and
concentrated on his question instead, the blush still staining her
cheeks.
    Jason saw the high color marking her
cheekbones a delicate pink and wondered what she'd been thinking
about. He opened his mouth to repeat the question and she
interrupted, “It's the dreams, I'm having them again.”
    “Oh,” Jason said, pulling
her in against his body. He hadn't liked the dreams. He wasn't
going to tell her, but he'd begun having some of his own. And they
were goddamn doozies.
    “Get a room!” Kevin
yelled, walking by, arm slung around Cynthia. Jason gave Kevin the
finger and Julia grabbed it in the air.
    “Don't,” she hissed,
giving him another scowl.
    Jason threw up the other hand and flipped
him another bird.
    “You're impossible!” Julia
said sternly. Then she smiled.
    She began laughing and convulsed into a
stream of irrepressible giggles.
    “That's so helpful, Jules.
You're so on it.”
    Julia looked at Jason and he was standing
there, in full view of the world, giving Kevin the double-finger
send off.
    Oh my god, Julia clutched her sides,
howling.
    Julia was bent over until she noticed a pair
of hot pink boots come into her line of sight.
    She grabbed Cyn's sweater and hauled herself
up.
    “Hey asswipe, you're not
sensing any adults around?” Kevin asked.
    Jason dropped his hands as one of their
teachers made his way toward them in a huff of righteous Adult
Indignation.
    Terrell.
    Great. Instead of calming down, it had the
opposite effect and Julia continued laughing, tears streaming down
her face.
     
    Terrell lurched up to the group. Taking a
look at the Wade girl, doubled over in fits of hysterical giggling,
he dismissed her. It was the basketball boys that he had his
attention trained on. He didn't care if the Caldwell boy had got an
A in his class, there was something fishy about them. Especially
that never-apply-herself-girlfriend of his.
    He got right up in Caldwell's grill,
momentarily nonplussed that the kid had him by four inches. “Listen
here, Caldwell. I don't give a good lick about how great you think
you are, or that it's your last day here, this isn't the court. You
don't own the school, the halls, nothing. Act like an adult and
maybe, just maybe, you'll become one someday.”
    Terrell had sobered Julia up and she didn't
like how
