Vampire Beach: Initiation Read Online Free PDF

thought.
    He took a look at Bianca's sweater - and - jeans ensemble. The outfit would've looked normal on his mother, but on Bianca, it seemed ü ber - stylish. It reminded him of Sienna's comment about his aunt's fashion sense.
    "Hey, Aunt Bianca, do you know Sienna Devereux?" he asked suddenly.
    She looked at him in surprise. So did Dani and Tyler.
    "Who's Sienna Devereux?" Tyler asked. Dani just widened her eyes in her usual, gossip - detecting way.
    "A girl at school," Jason said, aware of the blush slowly creeping across his cheeks. He cleared his throat. "My friend Brad's girlfriend."
    "Hmm ... The name sounds familiar," Aunt Bianca said. "Stefan knew the Devereuxs, of course. I probably met her once or twice. Why do you ask?"
    "Just wondering," Jason said. "She mentioned that she'd met you. Said she likes the way you dress."
    "Oh, well, in that case, I love her already," Bianca joked.
    "Jason does too," Danielle teased. Jason tossed a muffin at her.
    "So, Tyler, how long are you staying?" Aunt Bianca asked. "Do you have to be back for school on Monday?"
    Tyler kept his eyes on the pancakes he was smothering with syrup. "Uh ... technically. But I can skip a day or two. I'm a senior."
    "When did that become an excuse for cutting class?" Mr. Freeman asked.
    Tyler finally looked up, and Jason thought he saw a hint of annoyance in his friend's eyes. But it disappeared immediately, and Tyler grinned. "They're giv ing SAT practice tests next week. I already took the SATs, so I don't have to go."
    "Sweet," Jason said. Although when he was at their old school, they certainly hadn't spent days giving SAT practice tests. Apparently, things had changed.
    But as his family continued to chat with his old friend, Jason kept his thoughts to himself. Tyler had always been a favorite with the Freemans. Jason hadn't told his parents about the driving - while - stoned episode from last year. He hadn't told Dani, either.
    All that was in the past, and that's where Jason planned to leave it.

    "Danielle Who Smells, why aren't you up here playing?" Tyler called a few hours later. "Jason's too much of a lightweight to be any fun. Look at him all panting and stuff."
    Jason shook his head. They'd only been shooting hoops for fifteen minutes and he wasn't even out of breath. Neither was Tyler, which was a little weird. The guy had looked so exhausted this morning that Jason had figured they were in for a day of sitting in front of the TV while his mom puttered around getting everything ready for the big dinner. But Tyler had gotten a second wind.
    "I'd rather lounge," Dani answered from her chaise next to the pool. She'd decked herself out in a bikini and a pair of big sunglasses. "Besides, isn't it called one - on - one?"
    "Well, yeah, if you're going to get all literal on me," Tyler grumbled good - naturedly.
    Danielle turned back to her reading, some chick - lit book with a drawing of a woman in a tight dress on the front.
    "You're just trying to distract me from kicking your ass," Jason said. "It won't work."
    "We'll see." Tyler dribbled the ball toward the hoop mounted on the pool house wall, ducking and spinning to avoid Jason's coverage. He took a shot - and scored, nothing but net. Tyler did a little victory dance, getting in Jason's face.
    "I'm still winning, jackass," Jason pointed out.
    Tyler laughed and passed the ball to Jason.
    The pool house door opened, and Bianca came out dressed in a black bathing suit and sandals with little cherries on the toes. "Time out," she called. "I don't want to get hit by any flying basketballs."
    "Wimp," Jason teased, and she made a face at him as she crossed the court. "I have to warn you," he added, lowering his voice, "that Dani's going to spend the whole day trying to convince you to talk Mom into letting her go to the party."
    "I'm afraid she'll be disappointed, then." Bianca sighed. "I've never been able to talk your mother into anything."
    "I can't believe you guys have a pool house," Tyler
