“There’s three of us, and it’s a small town. It’s not that hard to hear our name mentioned.” Lucy teased, smiling over at her friend. “I loved high school. That’s true… but i’m pretty sure he’s married, so it’s still kind of forbidden.”

“Maybe, perhaps that’s the reason.” She wanted to sigh, but she didn’t. Asking for another round she looked at Lucy. “I’m actually glad it ended, we have good memories but I didn’t want to go back. Really? Hasn’t he gotten divorced? Damn... you are shattering my dreams today.”

“Don’t take this the wrong way, but do you have A.D.H.D or something?” 

“I have no idea, never been tested. But taking this town is already too crazy, maybe it’s just a consequence of living here... or something like it.” Like holding your tongue, Wood. The redhead wanted to hide her face somewhere, knowing her father woul say she was careless again.

“ What makes you say that?”

“Because I like them, a party is always a good thing.”

“Shush. We’re not the most well known family.” Lucy knew her family was pretty well known in Moon Island, but she wouldn’t consider them the most well known. “You know who wasn’t gay was our physics teacher, Mr. Jones. He was cute.”

“I’m sure I’ve seen people know your last name everywhere, besides... this is Moon Island, a freaking tiny small town where if you sneeze in the morning, at night everyone will know about it.” Ericka winked at her friend, smiling a little bit. “You are making me miss high school, well.. at least now it’s not forbidden to go after him.”

“Planning a birthday by yourself is too hard. No wonder people use planners and shit like that”

“I love parties, if you need any help... I could be the best person to help you.”

Cecelia looked to the younger red headed woman, barely repressing an eye roll. ‘You didn’t look like you here dealing with him at all.”

“He’s just joking, right buddy?” She looked at the man in front of her, hoping he would say yes and leave along with the vampire. “No need to worry about me. And what are you talking about? Fangs?”

“What are you trying to say exactly?” he asked, tilting his head to the side in amusement. 

“Not a single thing. You know how I am, I start to talk and then it gets all confusing.” She laughed as she looked around, trying to make him forget she was indeed speaking her mind.

Ana raised her eyebrows but gave her a smile any way. “Oh really. Well I’ll have to be sure to keep you in mind if I’m low on ideas.” She shrugged. “I guess that is true. I’ve blown through quite a few small towns in my times. They are all different in their own way.” Ana tilted her head, now the girl had her curiosity. “Oh has she? Knowing Lucy it must only be good things.”

“Moon Island has its on way indeed.” She nodded at the girl, knowing she shouldn’t speak her mind share about the fact she knew the secrets from that island, and with that Ericka simply kept herself smiling almost biting her lips to keep her mouth shut. “Of course, Lucy is the sweetest girl you could ever meet. We’ve been friends for quite awhile now, and her friends can also be mine.”

“I wouldn’t be surprised. We’ve been best friends since forever. Maybe I should just change my name to Lucy Wood… or you change it to Ericka Gardner. Either way it sounds awesome.” Lucy laughed, imagining if one of them actually went through with it. “He was, but i’m still pretty sure he was gay. No guy can have hair like that and be straight. It’s impossible.”

“Ericka Gardner, part of the most well known family.” Part of herself had dreamed about being part of it, being a Gardner and having the attention Lucy had, it was intriguing and something she could never have. “A girl can dream, and in my dreams he wasn’t.”

“I’m quite certain the lady told you to leave her alone. I would hate to have to sink my fangs in someone as vile as you, you should really leave and spare us both the indignity.”

Fangs. The words reached her ear as she felt a shiver comind down her spine. “Don’t worry... No need to help me, I can deal with him just fine.” She didn’t know exactly which situation was the worst. 

“I get them to loosen up after you get them drunk, remember?” Lucy was never good when it came to alcohol, which was why she often opted for coffee, tea, or water before any alcoholic beverage. “I think he’d be more surprised if I didn’t show up. I’m surprised he doesn’t refer to me as ‘daughter number 2′ due to the amount i’m over.” Lucy shrugged, musing at the thought. “I never took Spanish. If you had taken German with me like we had planned then things would be different.”

“Okay, it’s true.” Ericka tilted her head, before she grabbed the menu to look at something they could drink. “Sometimes he asks about you, so I think he got used to you around even more than his own daughter,” the redhead joked as she looked up to her friend. “First of all, don’t forget about Davis, the Spanish teacher. He was insanely cute and a good enough reason to take Spanish.”
