"No, I think I'm gonna go to the arcade."
"Are you sure? What is there to do there?" Troy asked. I don't understand why he just won't let me go! I just want to play some skee-ball. Hopefully Connor wouldn't be in there though. He' starting to scare me.
"Troy I'm here till Friday. Only half of that time will be spent playing the drums. I can spend a few hours in the arcade." I felt bad, but he was just being too protective, and I hate people like that.
"Fine but will you meet me back here later?"
"Of course, Troy." And I would. He was fun to be around.
As I walked into the arcade, the air went from 84 to 65. It felt good to be in cold air. But I got that shiver that I got when Connor pulled me close. I didn't like it.
There were so many games and kids!My parents gave me an arcade card with 500 points on it. I saw a skee-ball machine and walked over it. I swiped my card and began to play.
As I was playing, I felt a cold burst of air by me. I turned around and saw Connor. He had a rose in his hand. He extended out the arm with the flower to give it to me.
"Thanks." I said sharply. I shivered again.
"Shall we play some games?" Connor talked so formally. It was weird.
"Yeah, sure I guess." As I spoke he wrapped his arm around me. I inched away and turned back to my game.
I finished playing my game of skee-ball. "Vivian," the way he said my name made me feel weird. "may we go into a photo-booth to get pictures for memories?"
"Um...ya see..I'm always in the back since I play drums for my band. So I'm not really a picture kind of girl.."
"Just once?"
"Fine, whatever." He was really annoying me.
As we walked into the photo-booth, he grabbed my hand and inter-locked our fingers. I tried to break free but he was holding them too tight. Right before we stepped into the booth, Connor stopped me, and tilted my head up so I could see his eyes. I tried to turn away but he wouldn't let me.
"Vivian," He said brushing the hair out of my eyes. I flicked it back. "do you believe in destiny?"
"I do. But.." Before I could finish he kissed me.
I shoved him away. "What do you think you're doing! Stop it!" I wiped my lips.
Connor came back over to me and grabbed my wrists. "Connor! Stop! That hurts!"
"I'm not gonna stop until you be my girlfriend." He hissed.
"I'd rather die!" I spat back at him. He squeezed my wrists harder. It hurt but I wouldn't give in. "Fine I'll Just take the pictures!"
Connor smiled and let go of my bruised wrists. "Good."

"The pictures came out great Vivian!" Connor said. I could tell he was faking it.
"Great." I said so flatly it could flatten a bug. I looked at Connor and he was staring at me. His eyes were a deep violet. "Hey, Connor, why are your eyes a different color?"
He quickly closed them. "It's nothing."
"Connor!" I grabbed his arm.
"What Vivian!" He turned and grabbed my wrists again. I didn't even care anymore. The movement was so quick my jaw was hung open. He turned and walked out. I decided to go after him.
As I turned out the door, I saw Troy, watching me, hurt. He was the last person I wanted hurt. He turned away. 'Great Vivian! Look what this dork did now.'
When I finally cornered Connor outside, he looked mad. "Connor? What is it?" I was getting scared.
"You really want to know?"
"Yeah I guess."
"Are you scared?" He grabbed my arm.
"No I've been through worse." His hand freezing on my warm arms.
"I'm not human." He said releasing my arm leaving yet another bruise.
"Well I kinda got that. No human could bruise me that easily."
"Vivian, you don't get it! I'm a vampire!"
"So? I don't really care."
"If I get out of control once, I could kill you!"
I thought about that. "Well if this is what you did by just getting mad.." What was I saying?! I wanted nothing to do with this boy!
I started to walk back into Splash Lagoon. I could feel Connor chasing me. I saw Troy, looking at me. I ran into his arms. I started crying.
"What did you do to her?!" Troy let go of me and went over and shoved Connor. "You really need to control yourself."
"Troy, don't! You're gonna get hurt!" I tried to pull him back.
"Vivian, I know what he is!" Troy said turning around. He had that same look Connor did.
"Troy! You need to stay out of my business!" Connor got close to him, threat in his voice.
"Just keep your kind away from mine." Troy said in almost a growl.
"Troy? What's going?" I got closer to him. "You're not human either are you." I didn't ask, I knew.
"I wanted to keep you safe."
"So you lied?! What are you?" I was furious.
"A werewolf."
I walked away. I couldn't take it anymore. "Vivian!" I heard them call after me. I found some place and started to play my drums. It was the only way to let my steam out.
"Heeeyyy..!" I heard a voice come towards me. I looked up and saw a man. "Are you okay?"
"Um..not really." He opened his arms. I continued to play my drums. I didn't want him to touch me after what Connor did.
"What's your name?" He asked sitting down.
"Vivian." I stared at him. 'What did he want?!'
"Well Vivian, I don't know who made you so upset, but they're loss." He moved closer.
I moved away. "What's your name."
"Brock."
He kept moving closer. "Brock! Stop! Get away!"
"Why?? You're cutee.." He sounded drunk.
"Brock!"
"Hey! I believe she said leave her alone." I heard Troy yell. I got up and ran over to his open arms. He held me there for a moment then went over and punched Brock in the face.
"Troy, I'm sorry. I never should have left you."
"No, Vivian. If you like Connor..." His voice cracked and trailed off.
I held out my wrist and had tears in my eyes. "I never liked him and I never want to see him again!" I looked up at him. "More importantly, I'm trying to tell you I like you. No. I love you." I was crying now.
Troy wiped my tears away and pulled my close. "I love you too." He whispered. "So What happened with Connor?"
I smiled. "Eh, you saw the bruises he left me and I never liked him. Anyways, if he got out of control once, he could kill me." I shuddered. "Anyways, you're nicer and warmer." I smiled again.
Troy pulled my back close and kissed me. And I let him. "I will never hurt you, Vivian."
"Earlier, Connor asked if I believed in destiny. I said I did. But I really truly believe it when I'm with you." I looked up at Troy and he was smiling.
"I feel the exact same way."
