can do to change that.” I didn’t look at him because if I did I would break. All the emotions were going to kill me slowly.
    “You’re wrong.” He said firmly.
    “About what now?” It irritated me when he said it like that. Regardless, I looked back at his gorgeous eyes and he looked straight through mine.
    “First of all, I do not think your blood is nasty. In fact it is so good that I cannot stop thinking about it and you__ you are calling me or something. I don’t know how you do it but I can feel what you feel and it drives me crazy. Second of all, no I should not feel that because this is wrong. But what’s done is done and as I have said before I’m not complaining we both like it.” He didn’t look away, still trying to figure out what I was thinking. He was right about the last part but I was trying to process what he had just said.
    “What do you mean when you say I call you?”
    “If you are alone, I feel it. Why do you think I appear around you?”
    “But I wasn’t alone five minutes ago.” I pointed out.
    “Not physically. But do you see? I cannot stay away and it it’s hurting me to even try. What are we going to do now? I can’t stand you half the time and you can’t stand me but our blood or something within us wants us each other.” He sounded miserable again and I felt sorry for him and for myself because he was right about everything. No. I didn’t like him outside of the bond. At least I didn’t think so. No, I thought he was the hottest guy around but that was it. He had issues and I just couldn’t deal with him.
    “That kind of sounds creepy. I don’t know what we're going to do but can we please not think about it tonight. I have enough on my mind right now.” I reminded him that he was still touching me while I was trying to control myself and when he realized that so he immediately stopped dancing.
    We walked towards a table and stood at least two feet away.
    “We should keep some distance. I don’t want to end up hurting you again or vice versa.” He winked like he was playing around for a second and then he was back to serious, “Did you really mean what you said on the plane?”
    I’d thought he had forgotten about that.
    “About what?” I played stupid.
    “You know about my eyes?” He remembered. I didn’t want to meet his intense look but going against my better judgment I did anyway because that’s just how powerless I was around him.
    “Uh, I don’t think I remember. Oh, yeah that. I think that they are incredible when you’re not angry. But when you’re mad they’re so obscure and I don’t like it.” I admitted.
    We stared at each other for a while. I wondered what would happen if we closed the short distance between us and kissed.
    Something was making me feel funny and before I did something we would both regret, he spoke, “I guess you are not as cold as I thought you would be.”  Then suddenly he brought me back to reality.
    I stepped back.
    “Yeah, and I guess you’re not such too much of an ass.”
    We smiled at that and walked away from each other.

CHAPTER 9
    After having that conversation with Robert I had a few dances with Jack and then Mereily. After all of that, I headed upstairs. No longer in the mood for more “dancing”. I had met half the students and wasn’t really interested in getting to know everyone in one night. It was past ten and the halls were dark. There was no one wandering around like I was. I guess everyone really was enjoying the party.
    I was thinking about going back later when they presented the awards but then I heard steps coming towards me and I kept walking until I saw the person that came into view.
    “Hey, where are you going?” Sophie asked. She was by herself.
    “I was just going up for a minute. I thought you were with Mereily?” She flinched when I asked.
    “No. She’s hanging out with Gene and her friends, I don’t know why Gene talks to her though and she’s not even a royal yet. They
