Vampire Sister

Chapter 6

That first day was just getting worse and worse. A vampire, is she? My own big sister was a vampire. A vampire that sucks the life out of humans. A humourless laugh escaped me. I could hear mom's footsteps.

"Honey dear, are you okay?"

"No mom. That bitch left this stupid jumpsuit and even worse, a letter." 

"Language, Kyra!!" she said and slowly read the letter and I could see that her eyes were watering. But she controlled them.

"Whatever. You should get to school, you don't want to be late on the first day of school! And you have to wear that jumpsuit, honey. You and I know there is nothing else."

"Fine." After I wore that jumpsuit, I looked into the mirror. It fit me perfectly. The beautiful brown curls fell just over the shoulder. Those perfectly blue eyes looked back at me. It didn't take much time to get to school as it was just about a mile away. When we reached the school, dad turned to me and said,

"I'm afraid I can't pick you up in the afternoon."

"It's totally fine dad, I can understand. I'll ask Mrs.Thompson to drop me."

"Well then, good luck on making new friends!!" After gathering my books, I entered the school. It wasn't so different from my old school. Except for the decorations. The hallway was so crowded with students that I had to squeeze my way through the crowd. I literally knew no one except Carla. But I couldn't spot her now. I had no idea where the lockers were.

"Um, excuse me, do you know where the lockers are?" I asked a senior year girl.

"Aww sweetie. First year is it? Locker's that way!" she said sarcastically pointing to the left. I have to go to the locker now. But I ended up near the restroom. Ugh this day is worse after all. I slumped my back on the wall, lost in my thoughts. The piercing noise of the bell got me walking. I shifted my graze to the ground. Shouldn't have. I bumped on someone, didn't care to look at that person, gathered my books and walked away.

I could make out that it was a 'he' as he said," Sorry!" I didn't bother to respond and started walking even faster.

A familiar voice called out my name. I looked up and Carla was already approaching me.

"You don't know how relieved I am to see you." I said hugging her.

"Yeah me too.." she said with a strained voice and I realized I was crushing her.

"Sorry." I said and embarrassment already flushed into my cheeks. We decided to follow the crowd to find our classes and we did. We took a seat near the window. The first three classes were just introductions so of course it was boring. I took out my pen and started drawing something on the bottom right corner of the page. After I finished, I realized it was a teddy bear! What? Seriously out of all the things I could have drawn, a teddy bear? I quickly tore the corner of the page, crumpled it and threw it down the window. Carla, who was sitting beside me, was giggling now.

"Did you see that?" I asked

"Mm-hmm." She said and grinned widely. She then said,

"You know you write your name in every page corner?"

"Oh shit. Noooo." Yes I am protective about my notes that I write my name in every page corner just in case I lose them. But this time I intentionally lost that. Oh god. Who's going to get their hands on that? After the classes we found our way to the cafeteria. Carla volunteered to bring the meals. I held my head within my hands when someone gently tapped my shoulder.

"Already got the meals Carla?" I said as I turned. But it just wasn't Carla. A boy who looks like he's seventeen or eighteen. Messy blonde hair and mesmerizing blue eyes. Overall he was hot. Realizing I was staring at him for too long, I shifted my gaze to my phone.

He cleared his throat before saying," Um I was the one you bumped into, near the restroom."

"Sorry, I was stressed and just wanted to get away from there." I said without actually meaning them. He must have figured it out because he opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by another guy who shouted, "Hey you! Cool dude. You're wanted at the office." And the cool dude left. Carla returned with two trays.

"Well, what did he say?" she prompted.

"Wait, does that mean you purposely returned late ?"

"Well you have to make some good friends!"

"Shut up! By the way, he just said 'I'm the one you bumped into, near the restroom'.

"You bumped into him earlier?"

"Yeah but I didn't care to see his face."

"No you didn't!"

"Yes I did and now let me eat in peace." I said with finality. After we finished eating, I asked Carla," What do you have next?"

"Hmm I have forensic science."

"Shit. I have sociology now."

"Well then we have to sit alone for a class or with some jerk." she said with a chuckle.

"Ughh. I hate this day!!" I said and returned the food tray. Back to school wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. Okay off to class. Again I took the window seat, but this time no one sat beside me. After the bell rang, the rest of the class piled in. The only other person I somewhat knew sat in the bench parallel to me. Of course it was the cool dude. I wondered what his name was. Tim? Sam? Brendan? Shit. Why am I concerned about his name? I am curious though. No, I am not a percent curious about anything. Maybe 0.001 %. Shut it!!!

The teacher began teaching and words started entering my mind.

"Sociology is a very important part of criminology and..............." Some movement by my side caught my attention. I turned to see the cool dude waving his hand, apparently to get my attention. Now that he did that, he uncrumpled a small bit of paper. Oh.My.Freaking.God. Nooooooooooooooooo. That's my teddy bear drawing!! I shot him a blank look but my eyes had the clear question "Where the hell did you get that?" As if he understood the question, he pointed down. That's when the teacher said," Ms.Samuel and Mr.Mendoza, is there any problem?" I was first wondering how she knew our names, then I saw the register on the table. Now it made sense to me. I was the first to say, "No mam, sorry."

"Alright then. And you can call me Mrs.Hoops." she said and I nodded.
