Shipped Off To Boarding School (Run by a group of hot vampire guys) *part 1*

--ALI’S POV--

I was afraid that the rest of the trip would be silent but all of a sudden Jace turned to me.

I replayed the earlier conversation we’d had in my mind:

“I-I… I don’t know what I was thinking when I did that. Never mind. I wasn’t thinking when I did that. I realized the mistake right after I did it. I’m so sorry,” I hung my head and couldn’t help but let a few tears run down my face.

“The only thing I can say to that is I think it’s better if we just pretend like we’ve never even met each other before,” he turned away from me and I could tell it hurt him to say that.

“Is that a pamphlet for Diamond Ridge Boarding School?” he asked pointing to the pamphlet I had forgotten to take out the side of my carry-on bag.

“Yeah…” I didn’t know where he was going with this.

“Do you go there?” he asked me, looking genuinely curious.

“Yeah…” I was still unsure of what he was trying to prove.

“Me too! Hi, I’m Jace,” he smiled and stuck out his hand. I shook it enthusiastically and my face broke into a huge grin.

“I’m Aliandra, but you can call me Ali,” I couldn’t wipe the grin off my face.

“You know Ali, you are really quite beautiful,” Jace leaned in closer to me and twirled a piece of my hair around his finger. I was speechless.

“Can I kiss you Aliandra?” he asked. I smiled.

“How’s this for an answer?” I asked and I kissed him.

How she managed to get him I will never know.

I broke off the kiss and giggled.

“What?” Jace asked.

“Oh, I didn’t tell you I can read minds?” I giggled again, motioning to the flight attendant standing a little ways down the aisle. “Oops.”

“Can you read my mind?” his eyes widened and he looked at me in alarm.

“No actually. I don’t know why I can’t.” I pondered. He gave a huge sigh of relief.

“Wait, why? What were you thinking?” I asked, perhaps too curious for my own good.

“Nothing,” he blushed.

“Fine. But one day I’ll wake up and be able read your thoughts and you’ll regret ever thinking what ever it is you are thinking!” I threatened and he laughed.

“How about I just tell you what I’m thinking? Right now I thinking that was one amazing kiss and I want to kiss you again,” Jace leaned in and kissed me again. I was in heaven.

--EDWARD’S POV--

I stepped around the rubble carefully, and couldn’t believe my eyes. This was a major situation. Somebody had tried to kill Ali. This was the last straw. I was BEYOND tired of people messing with Ali and this was just icing on the cake. I was going to find whoever this was and kill them before they could kill Ali. Game on.

“Classes start in a week and one of the students rooms just got BLOWN UP!” I could hear headmaster Pierce screaming at somebody on the phone. Nothing he could do would help the situation. This was a vampire war in the making and you can’t get a human to fix a vampire’s problem.

“Gabe!” I called out to my friend. His light hair was completely covering eyes and I couldn’t tell when he looked at me.

“What?” he looked up and brushed the hair out of his eyes.

“Are you up for this? I need your help.” I replied solemnly. Gabe was the best tracker I knew and probably already knew how to find our culprit just by looking around the room.

“Sure. For you. But for Ali too. We have to warn her. I mean, we can’t let her get hurt.” Gabe started inspecting the crime scene working around the angry-looking forensic experts.

“I agree. But I don’t want to worry her,” I reasoned. She didn’t need to know that a bunch of people were out to kill just because she was a female noble-blood. That was kinda how the last girl noble-blood, Alzi, died. Assassinated.

“So she went to chase after Jace? If she’s with Jace, then we call Jace and tell him so he can watch out for her, but we can make sure he doesn’t tell her.” Gabe suggested. Jeez he was smart. I never would have thought that. Maybe he just seems smart because I’m kinda dumb. Gabe tossed me his phone and I dialed Jace’s number.

--JACE’S POV--

Kissing Ali was amazing. I told her again and again she was beautiful and she told me what everyone around us was thinking.

“’Kay. See that old lady across and up one row?” she whispered, with her face close to mine.

“Yeah. What’s she thinking?” I asked. The grey-haired hawk-eyed woman turned to look back at us every couple of minutes or so.

“Uh she’s thinking about why we can’t keep our hands to ourselves,” Ali giggled and blushed. I leaned in to kiss her again when my phone (that wasn’t supposed to be on) rang loudly. I answered it quickly and looked over to see Maribel sleeping soundly.

“Hello?” I asked, wondering who’d called me. Only a couple people had my number.

“Jace? Is that you?” Edward sounded frantic.

“Yes its me. What do you want? I’m kind of busy,” I asked, irritated. Why was he bothering me?

“Well this is important! Is Ali with you?” Edward nearly screamed into the phone. I turned to look at Ali. She was smiling brightly at me.

“Yes. Would you just get to the point already?” I inquired.

“SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO ASSASSINATE ALI!” Edward yelled, “But you cannot tell her!”

I looked over at Ali again. She was still smiling, luckily, she hadn’t heard Edward’s screaming.

“What? I am going to kill them.” I growled. Nobody was going to hurt my Ali.
