 Quickly, I took a picture with my phone before anyone saw it. I may not have been discreet enough as Mr. Draco (no Draco) gestured me to come over after the assembly, then asked me to delete it in his presence. I rolled my eyes but complied; No need to show my dislike so openly. 

The class seemed to pass quickly, and soon enough, it was lunchtime. I sat next to Devon after grabbing a tray of food, just as Tana and her best friend Nazy walked over to our table and plopped down on the seats. Nazy smiled at me, but I ignored her, not because she was Tana's best friend, but she seemed ungenuine. I lifted my taco towards my mouth when I smelt something. It smelt metallic, kind of like rusted iron. It was blood. 

Just as Devon was about to take a bite out of his taco, I grabbed his hand, stopping him. Tana glared at me, but confusion flickered in her eyes. Nazy raised her eyebrows, "Why aren't you guys eating?" She took a bite of her taco and smiled. I stood up, scared. Her teeth were stained red with blood. What the hell!

I opened my taco and pulled out a finger from it. Devon noticed it, eyes wide and Tana screamed. All the other students looked at us weirdly. I glanced around the room, and no one seemed to see anything. They were eating calmly. I clamped Tana's mouth shut with my hand and led her out of the cafeteria, Devon behind us. Nazy made to stand, but Devon told her to sit down.

I led them to the janitor's closet, It was crowded, but it had to do. I ignored the pain of the brooms and mops pocking into my back and tried to find an explanation for what I just saw.

"What's going on?" Devon asked, "Why are the tacos filled with human flesh and  blood."

"How come the others are eating it like that?" Tana questioned, wrinkling her nose in disgust.

"Hmm, also, why were we the only ones who noticed?" I added. 

We were silent, trying to come up with a possible explanation. I sighed " As smart as I am, there are times when I'm not."

"Really?"  Devon asked, eyebrows raised. 

"Of course not. I'm just trying to lighten the mood."  I lie.

" Well, you failed," Tana replied.  

I glare at her, then look away trying to think. Suddenly an ear-splitting scream is heard in the cafeteria. We rush into the room to see a girl lying in a pool of blood, I rush towards her and see a hole in her chest where her heart was. I stand up trying not to gag, she looks just like...him. I step back slowly until I bump into a body.

Devon holds my shoulder and whispers " Hali? are you okay?"

I don't answer, just stare at the body. Events from that day begin to flash in my mind, I blink them away. Devon suddenly points at the girl's body "What is that thing?"

I follow his eyes to a black creature standing over the girl's body, its white pupils focus on us and it smiles evilly, then disappears.

Tana stays silent, her hands shaking as she dials the police, a hand grabs her phone from her. We turn to see Draco, his hands covered in blood. Don't tell me he...

My eyes widen as yell loudly " You psychopath! what did you do to her?"

" Miss Hali I advise you to watch your words, you are supposed to be smart but you didn't seem to notice that I just arrived. " He said as he ended the call. He was right, the only thing we saw was that...thing. That doesn't explain the bloody hands though.

" Now all of you should head to the assembly all to await your parents."

I glare at him," Screw you Draco, I'm not going anywhere."
