The Monster Within Us

Chapter 6: The question and High School

As soon as that was over, I grab some toilet paper and wipe the blood off of my mouth and threw it away. As soon as I walked out with my head down and having my hand scratching the back of my head, Eric walked up to me and ask me what is wrong and why I took so long in there. I didn't say much to him and say that I was checking up on myself. I didn't want to tell them the truth, I don't want them get into any more danger then I should have. If possible, I might kill one of them and tear apart their body without me knowing what is really happening. I would feel upset if I even did that.

Middle school was really the same. I get harassed by Aaron and his friends, I couldn't eat and I would do alright in school. I would go to the bathroom every now and then to check my eyes. If they are red, I drink animal blood until my eyes are back to black. If they are not, I double check again. The only difference to middle school to elementary school is the way the bullies would treat me. In elementary, they would call me names. In middle school, they would actually punch me and beat me up and then call me names. It was horrible. If I do something, I would probably get charged with murder or worse go a bit too insane and go after a random person who did nothing wrong.

Every night, I would always go to a different forest nearby our house and would find animals and eat out of and drink their blood to survive the day. For some reason, food that normal people would eat wouldn't really taste my appetite. I can taste it, if that someone is gonna ask about it, but it doesn't taste normal as regular person would eat. Take for example: an apple. If me and a person eat a apple. It would taste good for them but weird for me. It isn't rotten for both apples.

Finally High School rolls around. The high school was huge as hell. No wonder why it was called the 'biggest school in the country'. I took a deep breath and walked inside. I got confused on where to go so I ask one of the girls nearby me for help.

"Hey. Can you help me out, I'm trying to find the principal office?" -I asked

The girl gave me a weird look.

"Ew, no. You look weird with that stupid mask of yours. Get the hell out of my sight." -The girl said in a rude way.

"Jeez, okay." -I said. I grabbed my phone and look at myself by the camera app and I look fine.

I went to my class and we did the day as normal. Lockers are useless today as we put our bags to the side and a water bottle on our desk in case we need it. I can't put my bottle on my desk as I would get weird looks so I put it in my backpack until then.

The classes are normal and we all went to lunch as normal. Instead of me going to the lunch line and get my food, I just sit down at the tables that looks like a bar would have. The chairs feels comfy too. I grabbed the drink with me and as soon as I was about to take off my mask before opening the bottle, the girl who was rude to me, grabbed my drink and tried to mock me with it.

"Aww, you can't take a drink?" -The girl giggle

Give it back. I actually need it! I shouted. My eyes was slowly changing to dark red.

"What's wrong? You're dehydrating~?" -The other girl laugh.

I was getting annoyed. As the girls was laughing, I tackled the girl with the bottle and grabbed it out of her hand. She was still on the floor as her friends was trying to get her up.

I told you, I actually need it -I said. I walked outside and drink the blood from there. We are able to go outside to eat lunch, however we can't actually leave the campus or else we would be in trouble. After I was drinking, I wipe the blood of off my face with my hand and put my mask back on. I walk back inside the school and went to the bathroom to wash my hands. As I look in the mirror, my eyes are black yet again. I didn't check my eyes before I tackled the girl. If she thought bullying me with a drink that I actually needed was a good idea, it isn't gonna be pretty.

One day she would laugh and the next, everyone would start screaming as I start chewing away her body. That's something I do NOT want to have. Sure, she is a bully, but I don't want her to be a victim in my own bloody hands.

School was finally over and I went back home. It turns out the boys aren't there so I went to the mall. I got sick and tired of people bullying me, it's about time I change myself to make them think it's a good idea to not mess with me now.
