Izzy returned Trevor’s grin. “Yeah, meeting a vampire [i]would[/i] spice up the summer.” Izzy followed slightly behind Trevor as he headed toward his locker. “As long as they don’t sparkle.” She smirked. “I’ll take no shadow over that [i]any[/i] day.”
	“I guess I can see that,” she said thoughtfully at his reason for knowing the rumors. She gave a snorted laugh at his last question. "I don't hang out with people," she said, brushing the thought off with a nonchalant shrug as if it was the most natural thing in the world to do. "So, no. [i]I[/i] don't buy into them. Most of the time, it's just false accusations, anyway."
	[i]Amber loved hearing them, though,[/i] a cruel voice piped up from the back of her mind. Izzy frowned at the floor, an uneasy look flashing through her eyes as she shoved the thought back into its dark recess.
	“Any idea where the whole rumor started this time ‘round?” she asked, her tone light as she looked back to Trevor.
