When I got home, Kelly was already there.
"It's almost six. Where have you been?" She called from the kitchen. I threw my bookbag on the couch and headed into the kitchen.
"I told you I had band practice." I said. She was cooking spaghetti tonight. She looked up at my face and started laughing.
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"You're wearing lipstick." She laughed again. I walked over to the sink to look at my reflection in the water. I had on red lipstick. The same color Sydney was wearing. I wonder why nobody told me until now. I wiped off the lipstick and turned back to Kelly.
"I was eating a red popsickle. It's not lipstick." I lied.
"If you say so. Now take off your shirt and go lay down on the couch." She said. I nodded and went into the living room and took off my shirt.
I layed down on the couch and kicked the bag onto the floor. Kelly came in with her "inspecting kit" and sat on the floor next to me.
"Hm. These markings look familar." She looked closer and gasped.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I know these markings." She said. "Jericho has some similar to these."
"Who the hell is Jericho?" She rolled up a magazine and hit me in the back of the head.
"Ow! What was that for?"
"Never use those kind of words in this house. Jericho is the head vamp. He was really good friends with your father." I looked at her.
"So why do I have these markings?" She shrugged and looked at my book.
"It's not in there." I assured her. She nodded and stood up.
"Now off to bed." She said.
"But it's only 6." I sat up.
"I'm having company."
"I'm tired anyway. Goodnight." I grabbed my things and kissed her forehead and walked upstairs.
