He lifted one long, white finger and pointed at me. As my forehead exploded in pain Alyson opened her mouth and screamed.
When the bright splotches finally cleared from my eyes I looked up to see As colorless face staring down at me.
As usual I said the first ridiculous thing that came to my mind. "A, your eyes are popping out of your head like a fish."
"He marked you. Oh, Selena! You have the outline of that thing on your forehead!" then she pressed a shaking hand against her white lips, unsuccessfully trying to hold back a sob.
I sat up and coughed. I had a killer headache, and I rubbed at the spot right between my eyebrows. It stung as if a wasp had bit me and radiated pain down around my eyes, all the way across my cheekbones. I felt like I might puke.
"Selena!" A was really crying now and had to speak between wet little hiccups. Oh. My. God. That guy was a tracker a vampire tracker!
"A." I blinked hard, trying to clear the pain from my head. "Stop crying. You know I hate it when you cry." I reached out to attempt a comforting pat on her shoulders.
And she automatically cringed, and moved away from me.
I couldnt believe it. She actually cringed, like she was afraid of me. She must have seen the hurt in my eyes because she instantly started a string of breathless A-babble.
"Oh, GOD, Selena! What are you going to do? You cant go to that place. You cant be one of those things. This cant be happening! Who am I supposed to go to all of our football games with?"
I noticed that all during her tirade she didnt once move any closer to me. I clamped down on the sick, hurt feeling inside that threatened to make me burst into tears. My eyes dried instantly. I was good at hiding tears. I should be; Id had three years to get good at it.
"Its okay. Ill figure this out. Its probably some some bizarre mistake," I lied.
I wasnt really talking; I was just making words come out of my mouth. Still grimacing at the pain in my head, I stood up. Looking around I felt a small measure of relief that A and I were the only ones in the math hell, and then I had to choke back what I knew was hysterical laughter. Had I not been totally psycho about the geometry test from hell scheduled for tomorrow, and had run back to my locker to get my book so I could attempt to obsessively (and pointlessly) study tonight, the tracker would have found me standing outside in front of the school with the majority of the 1,300 kids who went to (Authors not: I forgot what the school last time so Im changing its name) Meredith North High School waiting for what my stupid Barbie-cloned sister liked to smugly call the big yellow limos. I have a car, but standing around the less fortunate who have to ride the buses (Authors note: thats me but Im only in middle school) is a time-honored tradition, not to mention an excellent way to check out whos hitting on who. As it was, there was only one other kid in the math hall--- a tall thin dork with messed-up teeth, which I could, unfortunately, see to much of because he was standing there with his mouth flapping open staring at me like Id just given birth to a litter of flying pigs.
