at her.
"Yeah?"
"I'm hungry. Let's go back to my room and grab something."
It was only later that I realized that she wasn't really hungry for food. Besides, it would have been quicker to go over to the student center. There was always something open in that area where you could grab a sandwich or something.
"I don't really want anything right now," I said, trying to find the mystery man again.
"I have something really special back at my room, though. I think you'll like it."
Jenn reached up to stroke some of my hair back behind my ear. Her fingertips tickled me, and I jerked away from her.
"Who's that?" I said when I saw him again.
Jenn followed my line of sight. She gave the guy a once over and sniffed.
"I don't know. Looks like some guy who still thinks the stubble look is cool."
Nobody had ever struck me like that before. I'd seen it in movies and read about it, of course, but I thought that instant, all encompassing attraction that they talked about was just something they made up to ge t teenage girls into crappy romcoms.
My heart quickened as he came over to the bed. I strained, trying to hear what he said to Jim.
His eyes flicked over and saw me watching. My whole face seemed to burn as I went into damage control, trying to look as though I'd just been staring lazily around the room.
Jenn kept trying to talk to me the whole time. Her hand squeezed my fingers, her thumb running in insistent circles on my wrist.
Then he left, slipping out through the door without looking back. Jim stuck another joint between his lips and flicked his lighter on.
Before he could light it, I went and stood in front of him. He frowned, looking up at me.
"Who was that?" I said.
"Who was who?" Jim said, waving at me to move back so he had enough room to light the joint.
"That guy you were just talking to. The one who just left."
Jim shrugged. I could feel Jenn standing behind me, her eyes boring holes in the back of my head. She really wanted me attention, but I just couldn't give it to her right then.
I just had to know who he was. So many thoughts and feelings rushed through my head. The last few minutes were a jumble in my mind. My lips against Jenn's, her mouth hot on mine. That guy coming in, the way my body responded to the sight of him.
"Adam Arnold," Jim said, "Went to high school with him, too. Good guy, I guess , if a little weird. Then again, his whole family's a bunch of weirds."
I stepped back so that Jim could finally light his joint. He did, then he stuck it between his lips and took a long drag, closing his eyes. A big cloud of smelly smoke spewed from his mouth and nostrils when he finally released it. His pupils were dilated, and a goofy grin tilted his lips.
"What do you mean?" I said.
He looked down at the joint between his thumb and forefinger. He'd toked about half of it in that one go. More, he'd breathed it mostly in my face. My eyes watered, and that buzz I'd started earlier increased. The tip of my nose had gone completely numb.
"They're, like, one of the first families, you know? But it's all fucked up. They're monsters, or something like that. I don't know. Witches or vampires or something dumb? But Adam's cool. Just off, like the rest of 'em. Want some of this?" Jim said, offering me the joint.
" Steph, let's get out of here," Jenn said, her hand on my shoulder.
Adam had left, too. A spark of hope flared in me as I thought we might be able to catch him outside.
"Okay, let's go!"
As soon as Jim's door closed behind us, the world got much quieter. The heavy metal still thumped through the door, but it was muffled so that I that could really be made out was the heavy bass beat.
The light in the hallway was too bright, and I squinted as I rushed towards the stairs.
" Steph, come on, wait up!" Jenn said. Her boots clicked on the floor quickly as she raced to keep up with me.
Part of my mind, the small portion still unaffected by the pot, knew this was crazy and weird. It wanted to know
