Week 16: Friday
Who: Xander and Serena
Where: Front of Halcyon, then Hell!
When: Friday Night

Friday, that oh so lovely day that all students want to come as quickly as possible, came right on time. Of course, getting through the day was something else. The hours of class crawled by at an annoying slow pace. At least for the demon, it did. His mind was not on school at all. And while he didn’t normally pay much attention in class, there were far too many hot women in class for that to happen, he paid even less attention that day. He likely paid for that on the weekly exams, but he’d deal with that little bit.

When the classes ended, he threw himself into the music club. Music was the third item on his ‘funniest things’ to do, and it was something that he could easily let himself slip into. Focusing on his music kept his mind off other thoughts. It wasn’t so much that he was off balance by his plans with Serena that night, no, that wasn’t it at all. It was what she had told him. Vampires with powers other than preying off mortals. That thought was new to him, as most of the vampires he had known back in his home city never revealed any other gifts.

Not that most preyed upon him, or tried, since the few women vampires knew he could drain them just as quickly as they could him so they tended to look elsewhere. It still kept his mind occupied thinking about just what they could do that he didn’t know about. Or just what some of them might have done to him without him being aware of. It made some situations come into a little better focus that hadn’t made any sense before. Random fights, people suddenly changing their mind in mid sentence, and other ‘mysteries’ that he blamed on drugs in the clubs or too much to drink just might have had an entirely different excuse.

Right after the club, though, he got himself ready. His hair had been the truly hard part, though no guy would ever really admit that, would they? Had to get the proper ‘mussed’ look to it. And that always took time. The rest of his clothing was fairly easy. He was a couple of minutes early at the front of the school. When she finally did emerge, Xander would be found waiting at the front of the school, his arms crossed over his shoulder as he leaned against the older pickup truck. A Chevy S10 extended cab, though it was clearly modified for use off road as it had been raised a bit from normal, and even had cargo latches on its roof and back to hold at least a trio of items, surfboards in his case.
