Clover's POV

"Clover! Hold still!" Olive and Rebecca scream at me while I try to run away from their make-up covered hands.

I knew this was going to happen. I was dreading it even. But boy, I didn't know that it was going to be this hard. I haven't even got to the date yet and I'm already stressing like mad.

Let me set the scene for you. The date that I have to go to with Oscar is in 3 hours. 3 HOURS! And here I am with Olive, Rebecca, Dominic, and Simon trying to prep myself for the obstacle ahead of me. Don't ask me why the boys are with us too.

"Clover it's a bit of makeup. It's not going to ruin your life." Simon stares down at his phone, sitting in a seat, while I hide behind him. Dominic sits next to him, enjoying the play.

"Makeup is a girly thing. I'm not girly!! Plus you've never put makeup on before!!" I growl. Simon looks like he's about to protest but then decides to keep his mouth shut.

Olive walks hesitantly over to me and then puts a hand on my shoulder. "Olive pleaseeeee! Don't make me do this!"

"But you've been waiting for this chance for the whole year. Now that Tiffany and Mia are out the way, you finally have a chance!" She smiles weakly. I sigh and then allow her to bring me to our bunk bed.

I sit down on the covers in front of Rebecca who is already equipped with makeup brushes and pens. "You'll be fine. We're going to make you so pretty that Oscar won't know what hit him!" Rebecca laughs. I turn towards Olive who is looking off in another direction.

I follow her eye line and it goes directly towards Dominic. She almost looks sad. I nudge her and she snaps her head towards me and goes a peachy red. "I ship it," I whisper in her ear, grinning. Dominic notices that it's gone quiet and lifts his head up from his phone.

He looks straight at Olive. Awwwe love!!! Wait.......I'm going to be that love.......EW! I take my attention back to Rebecca again and let her do her thing. I hope by the end of this night I won't have mascara running down my eyes like they have in the movies.

                    *******************

"This is your table. I hope you enjoy your evening." The young woman says to us as she directs us towards our table. She takes a look at Oscar and I swear she swoons at the sight of him. Then directs her glance at me and glares. Well, that's what you get when you go out with a hot guy.

Like the gentleman Oscar is, he pulls out the chair for me and I attempt to sit gracefully down. He pushes me in and then sits in his own chair. "This is a lovely place." Oscar breaks the silence between us and I finally feel relaxed.

"Yes, it's beautiful. But so expensive! You know we could've just gone to Mc Donalds and I would've been fine!" I smile and he looks taken back by my answer. "Did I say something wrong?"

"You not like any other girl are you? A normal girl would demand to go to a place like this and then make the guy pay!" He laughs and I join in with him.

"Oh, we're defiantly going halves. I will not allow you to pay for all of this!" The woman comes back again but this time she carries menus. She places one in my hand and I search for what I would want. The burger catches my eye and I instantly want that.

She takes our orders and then walks away. But I catch her looking at Oscar again and give her a glare that only a demon could produce and she backs away. "So........I have a question for you." He asks.

"Fire away."

"Ok so this might sound a bit weird but how did Dominic react to you being a vampire?" My heart stops. Maybe this isn't how I wanted my first date to go. Such a personal question and we're not even serious yet.

"I-I." I stutter, trying to find an answer. He doesn't seem to notice that I had been affected by his question or he just chooses to ignore it. "Well.......I'm not actually his sister. It's a long story." I say, uncomfortable.

"Don't worry. We have all evening together." He places his hand on mine that lays on the table and I instantly start to feel the want to pull it away. This is all going too fast for me. I'm not like the other girls who want to kiss on the first date and then the second.......well you know.

"Uh. He found me after my parents.......well I don't really talk about it much anymore. But he always knew I was a vampire." I say nervously, praying that he wouldn't ask any more question. His hand finally lifted off of mine and I swiped my hand from the table and onto my lap.

"Ah, I see. It must've been a difficult childhood for you then." He says and my eyes widen. Does he mean difficult childhood without biological parents or difficult that I wouldn't fit in with my adoptive?

"I don't know what you mean." I shuffle in my seat, waiting for the woman to come back so that she can glow at Oscar again and his attention not being on me.

"Well, you didn't fit in with your adoptive family. They all had powers and there was you......the vampire." Ok. He said that way too loud. "I mean, it must've been hard with everyone around you being Penels and you being the odd one out."

"I'm going to go to the ladies room." I immediately get up from my seat and almost run towards the toilets. Once I get in, I look myself in the mirror and I almost don't recognise myself.

It's a shame that Olive and Rebecca worked so hard to fix my hair and make up for this date that is going disastrously. I pull out my phone and pressed on Olives contact and started to phone her. She picked up immediately.

"Hey, girl! How hottie doing?" She asked in a weird voice that made me cringe. She obviously too hyper for this time of night.

"Not good. I want to come back!!" I whine into the phone.

"Oh no, you don't! If he's being awful to you, make a show and pour like a jug of water over his head. Then come back." Olive snaps back into reality and I sigh. I don't particularly want to do that.....yet. 

"Ok. I'll give him one more chance but if he's rude again, I'm out." I say and then hang up before I have to deal with a hyperactive Olive. I splash some water on my face and then return back to the table.

When I get back, he sits there with his food, awkwardly. He hasn't eaten a single bite yet. "Sorry, I'm back so late! Let's start shall we!" I smile and then dive into my food.

We eat in silence and I feel the tension rise between us. I eye the jug of water in front of me. I pray that it'll still be full by the end of this date. Oscar again decides to break the silence.

"So, where were we? We were talking about your parents weren't we?" He brings the topic back up again and I take a deep breath in. Oh god.

"Uh, yeah."

"Do you remember much about them?" He asks and I feel my heart rate start to rush.

"No. I was 7 days old when I got kidnapped and Vampires don't have the greatest memory so no. Do you remember you first 7 days?" I ask him, trying to take the topic off of me.

"Haha no. I feel sorry for you. And you don't have a single thing that you can remember you parents by?" He asks me and I take a while to think.

The only thing I have left of them is their grave and that probably was destroyed in the war. I can remember making that though. And Dominic reminds me every time I feel bad about leaving them. We made a lovely grave together.

"Not really." I lie and he makes a face like he doesn't believe me. What's up with this guy?!

"Not a single gravestone or piece of clothing? Must've been some way to die if you don't have anything from their belongings." My heart stops for the second time this evening. I continue to eat my food like nothing happened.

"Yea.....some way," I repeat.

"How did they die?"

I stand up. I'm not talking about this in public. I haven't told anyone about how they die. People only know if they haven't heard about it from me. I'm not prepared to talk about this to Oscar, even if I have known him for nearly a year now.

"Is something wrong?" He suddenly looks panicked. I'm so sorry Oscar for what I'm about to do. I pick up the jug of water and pour it over his head. He gets drenched in water and his tux is ruined.

"Don't every talk about my parents like that every again." I growl at him and then walk out of the restaurant.
