Chapter 0494 Lila’s POV \ “You want to become a committee member?” I asked, staring up at the I gorgeous-looking vampire with what / must have been disbelief written all over my face.
I’m sure Becca and Brody both looked about the same.
“Does it look like I'm joking?” She asked, rolling her eyes.
“I suppose not,” I said, chuckling nervously. “What is your name?” “Skylar Barnett,” she muttered.
My heart nearly jumped out of my chest; she was a Barnett? As in Albert Barnett and Claudette Barnett? Albert and Claudette basically owned the fashion industry. They were definitely
vampires, but they were the most popular vampires to ever exist when it came to * fashion, design, and modeling, That’s why Skylar looked familiar to me; I had seen her in magazines before. That also explains the high-end boots and black cashmere jacket she wore.
I glanced sideways at Becca whose mouth was practically on the ground; Brody, of course, was clueless. He didn’t know much of anything about fashion; butI knew the Barnett’s were huge, which made Skylar huge.
“If you're done gawking at me, can I fill out the form or not?” Skylar asked, rolling her eyes at us.
“Oh yes,” I said a little too quickly, sliding it over to her.
She sat down in the seat in front of me and started to fill out the form in perfect , cursive.
“I'm sorry, but may I ask why you want to join the committee?” I found myself asking, making her pause and glance up _ ¥ at me. “It’s just that, vampires don’t typically like school events or activities...
so I'm a little confused.” She put the pen down and leaned back in her seat to look me over carefully. I felt my face warming instantly.
“My parents are making me take an extra curriculum,” she muttered, sounding extremely annoyed. “Something about wanting the world to know the Barnett’s aren't just about looks. We also have brains.” «1t would be good to have a vampire on the committee,” Brody shrugged, looking over at me. “I mean, we have all the other species.” I hadn’t realized that until he spoke those words; but he really was right. We had a L bear, wolves, and a fairy, all we needed to I complete the committee was a vampire.
+ wanted the committee to appeal to all students, including vampires. So, having 'avampire on the committee was only § right. B “We would love to have you, Skylar,” I said to her, giving her a fond smile.
She didn’t return the smile; she stared at me with an expression I couldn’t read.
Then, she grabbed the pen and continued to fill out the form.
“When are meetings?” She asked without looking at me.
“We were planning on holding themat2 in the afternoon...” I began to say but then froze when I saw her hand pausing.
She was a vampire; she couldn't be here at 2 in the afternoon. Vampires don’t burn up in the sun, but they are uncomfortable and if they get enough exposure, then they will get sick. I ) couldn’t let that happen to my new committee member.
i “But that’ll obviously have to change,” 1 continued, trying to appear as casual as I ' could. “What time do you start your first ¥ class at night?” “9 pm,” she answered. “Is that an issue?” “No, of course not,” I said, a little too « quickly. I wondered if she could tell just how nervous I was; I clearly had no experience when it came to talking to vampires. “Sundown is at 7 and curfew is at 9 during the week. So, maybe we can have the meeting at 8?” «That works for me,” Brody said with a nod.
“Me too,” Becca said as well.
“Great,” Skylar said as she finished filling out the form. She slid it across the counter and toward me.
She really did have great handwriting.
“When's the first meeting?” She asked,NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
pulling out a little black notebook from the bag she kept slung over her shoulder.
“Tomorrow,” I told her.
“Should we meet here?” I glanced at the paper to make sure she i I listed her phone number.
“1’]] text you and let you know,” I answered.
“Got it,” she said as she wrote in her "notebook. “See you tomorrow.” She stood and with long and confident strides made her way out of the student ; lounge, leaving nearly everybody staring after her.
“What just happened?” Becca finally found her voice.
“We just got a vampire in our committee,” I said, still staring at the I door. “Holy crap.”
LL “How many more members do we need?” Brody asked, staring at our list of I members. I knew he was probably 4 thinking about Sarah. I hadn’t even s brought up the idea of adding Sarah to the other members, but I knew they wouldn’t be happy with that choice.
