Liam woke up very early in the morning, throughout the night he couldn't sleep well, once in a while his eyes will snap open and he will look beneath his bed to ensure that Max was still there.
Liam was a bit annoyed though, Max slept like a baby and he just served as a watchman throughout the night, watching Max every silly turn and annoying 'once in a while snore'.
Liam had woken up for a while but he just laid down in deep thinking.
The sun slowly set out, just then Max suddenly jumped out from the bed like he had a nightmare.
Liam who was in deep thought, quickly looked down and then he saw Max looking warily at the window.
Not the window in particular but the rising sun rays.
"What's wrong?" Liam whispered staring at Max from above.
""The sun." Max replied.
"What's wrong with the...fuck" Liam got up in a hurry as he stared at the sun from the gap between the windows.
Liam quickly closed the cottons.
Just then Lucas phone rang, Lucas sleepily woke up and picked the phone.
"Hello, who is this?" Lucas asked sleepily.
A voice sounded from the other end and Lucas face changed a little as he looked at Liam.
"Liam it's your dad" Lucas said as he gave Liam the phone.
Liam stared strangely at the phone as he entered deep thought.
Why did he call Lucas instead of me?
"Hello Dad?" As Liam answered the call, that was when he remembered that he had no phone currently. He shattered his phone while running away from that werewolf few days ago.
"I have been trying to get you but your number has been unreachable, what happened?" Liam's Dad said over the other end.
"Umm, my phone broke." Liam answered rubbing his nose a bit.
"Even that of your friend Max? I called him too."
"I don't know why you couldn't reach him"
"Well your grandma's date of burial has been set to two weeks from now, your mom said I should say hi too, she hopes you don't grieve too much, she also promised she will come visit one of these days." Liam's father said.
"No, no , no tell her I am fine, I will get in touch with her once I get a new phone, but she should please not come here."
"Ok suit yourself, take care of yourself also"
"Ok, thanks dad, you too"
The call ended.
As Liam raised his head he saw Max staring at him strangely.
"What?"
"You didn't tell me that your grandma was dead" Max said, still staring at Liam. Max sharp hearing had kicked in just now.
"Oh that?" Liam asked with a dead pan look. The talk of his grandma brought back the memories of how she died.
"She died the day I went home." Liam replied.
Just then Lucas got down from his bed, but as he walked towards the washroom, he hit his leg on a stool.
"Shit, shit, why the hell is here still so dark when the sun is already out?!" Lucas angrily walked towards the window in a bitd to open the cottons.
"No, no don't...."But it was too late , he spread it wide open.
Liam hurriedly looked at where Max was before and he wasn't there anymore, he was in a corner of the room where the sun rays couldn't reach.
Max heart was beating very fast, he has never been so afraid of the sun like the way he was now. But now he knew another buff this vampire abilities came with.
Speed... He had speed.
He was fast, when Lucas spread the Cottons open, he ran so fast to this hidden corner.
Lucas turned and looked at Liam curiously, just when he wanted to ask why Liam shouted a knock came at the door.
"Who?* Lucas asked with a shout.
The door clicked open as a figure walked inside. It was a girl, curvy beautiful and long scattered black hair. She looked like she just got out from bed.
Liam looked to know who it was and then he was surprised.
"Evelyn, what are you doing here so early?" Liam asked puzzled. Evelyn was a sophomore like him, she was just a bit more famous in school because of her brother.
Her astonishing beauty was also another reason, she hardly added cosmetics but her beauty was out of this world.
Evelyn scrutinized the room as her gaze finally fell on Liam, her eyes looked sleepy like she just woke up from sleep.
"So you are back and you didn't bother calling, and even when I tried getting you, I couldn't." Evelyn said in a single breath.
She sounded angry.
"Are you that worried about me that you came to check up on me?" Liam asked with his eyes going wide, he remembered when he first saw Evelyn, she didn't even take notice of his presence.
But her brother Eric was their coach, football coach, the reason they had dominated the football competition few years ago although not anymore was because of him.
Evelyn's brother took notice of Liam, saying that he had skills and was a good talent, then Liam remembered just playing for the fun but Eric tried to turn him into an athlete.
But Liam was not ready and was easily lazy but Eric wouldn't let him go and told Evelyn to watch over him and be the one making sure he was up for training.
"I am not worried about you" Evelyn rolled her eyes at Liam. "I am more worried about you keeping to time and saving me the stress of being disturbed when I'm sleeping by my brother to come fetch you."
Jack was already awake by now, he and Lucas listened to the conversation between the two.
"Prepare and go meet him at Elcador's Field " She said as she got ready to match back to where ever she came back from.
But then she suddenly stopped and looked at the dark corner where Max was and said.
"Why are you standing there Max? Well, my brother said you should tag along too." Evelyn said as she walked out.
"Wait, I should tag along?"Max asked in a hurry, but she was already gone.
After she left, Lucas and Jack suddenly burst out laughing.
"I told you man, Liam couldn't get that girl, did you hear that? She said I'm not worried about you "
"Yeah I did, you won, Liam can't woo a girl despite his handsome looks"
The conversation between the two left Liam speechless.
Morons
"Hey Liam when you get there, tell Eric that I'm not feeling too well so I can't make it." Max suddenly said.
