Hey all! :)) HAVEN'T UPDATED IN A LOOOOOOOOOONG WHILE. But here it is, as promised (though very much delayed)! :D Anyways, this is a warning. A lot of people WILL HATE Shea for this chapter. Personally, though, I like this in particular. ;)) Anyways, hope not all of you will curse Shea after reading this chapter.

Chapter Twenty Seven- Scaredy Cat

                “We need a new article,” Eadrine said, first thing in the morning as I collected my things from the locker.

                I sighed, hugging the books with me, after slamming the locker shut. “About?”

                “Well, about that auction last week, and another of Night Moon’s article,” he said.

                I blinked. Crap. If only I knew I had to write something about the auction, I would have attended. I wouldn’t have gone to that freaking trip with them. “I wasn’t around,” I said, “at the auction, I mean.”

                He raised an eyebrow. “Oh?” He nodded. “Okay. Fine. You can write about anything under the sun. And Night Moon’s as well.”

                I nodded. “Yeah, sure.”

                And then he was off. I thought about a topic for a new article, and thought about Night Moon’s. Then all of a sudden, I couldn’t think of anything to write for Night Moon. I mean, after knowing about Cam’s parents and all, and after meeting Ciara, I wasn’t sure if it was still right to go and have another of Night Moon’s articles published.

                It just seemed… unfair.

                “Hey.”

                I turned and Blake was standing there, smiling at me. “Hey.” I smiled back.

                “So.” He took my books from my hands and we started walking towards my first period. “You have Literature for first?”

                I nodded. “Yep.”

                So we were walking, together, and it was really sweet how he took my books from me. “Well, I was thinking,” he began.

                “Of?” I prompted.

                “Well, of you,” he replied, “and if you’d like to accompany me this Saturday.”

                I smiled. “Where?”

                He shrugged. “Well, it’s supposed to be a secret.”

                “Oh, that’s a shame.”

                Mock-serious, he nodded thrice. “Oh, it is. But it won’t be good without the surprise there.”

                “Saturday, then?” I asked him.

                He grinned. “Saturday, then.”
