The Monster Within Us

Chapter 80: College, again

Before I left the house for college, I check myself to see if I am wearing a mask and if I am freshen up before I leave and check my hunger to see if I don't lose control. The figure would wait for me every time before I officially leave. Last time I went back to the college, people knew what really happened to me and wanted me to leave the school. It's sucks that one mistake can turn into a huge disaster. Regardless, I kept it to myself and I left the house. I turned around to see the figure waiting for me and then turned around to walk back inside the house as I fully left for college.

I missed out on a lot of work but I would be able to finish them when I get the chance to. I finally made it to the college and walked inside. It has never changed, still the same looks and grins. It feels like I am in elementary school, who was being a bad person and was snitch on by one student and the rest follows. By the point, it was starting to get annoying. I never grabbed my stuff out of my locker before I left the building the last time. As soon as I opened my locker, all my stuff was still here. I closed my locker and was waiting for other people to come at me and most likely beat me up.

I waited, having my arms crossed and my foot was on my locker. I was looking around and yet nobody was hoping to punch me. I sigh of relief when the bell rings and I was walking to my next class. As soon as I went to my biology class, someone threw a paper ball at me. It hit me and I went to look at it. I unraveled it to find one word.

Bloodsucker

I was surprised, I look around to see who threw that and nobody looks weird to me. Finally the teacher came by and started attendance. Professor Sparks called my name and when I risen my hand, he was actually surprised.

"I never thought you would be here Ms. ALT. You do realize you have a lot of work to do right?" -Professor Sparks said as he look down at me, with a serious tone.

Yes sir, I have been busy with things. -I said

"Yeah busy drinking someone's blood!" -One student yelled. Everyone started to laugh except me and Professor Sparks.

"Okay, that is enough." -Sparks said but nobody was able to hear him. Finally, he grew out of patience and slammed his fists on his desk, loud enough for everyone to stop talking.

"Thank you. Now, you all are in your 20's and you all act like kids?! Jayla just got back after over a week and this is how you treat her?! You probably would be embarrassed if she called you a 'Bloodsucking' monster huh? I don't think so." -Sparks shouted

The room fell silent for a while, until Sparks started to speak.

"If I hear that again, I won't hesitate on calling the headmaster. You all are supposed to be mature enough and yet you all act like this. Now...I do not care if Jayla is a vampire or not like the rumors said but do NOT said any of that in my class. Do you all understand me?" -Sparks finished.

"Yes Professor Sparks." -We all said

"Good, now let's start class since someone has wasted all of our time." -Sparks said

After a while, class is over and I moved on to my next class: Music. I feel my back and my axe is somehow and someway on my back. I thought I put it in my dorm room but I guess it came to me, like a ghost following you, watching your every move. As I was making my way to my class, I was getting names and looks at me. People are still talking about the rumors of me being officially a vampire. Somehow, I didn't feel a tear running down my face, but instead.... anger. I did managed to make it to my class, where the only a few students was looking at me. The others just don't care about the rumor at all. This even includes the Professor: Professor Waters.

"Now, after what happened last week does not apply to this class only. Not every vampire is evil, keep that in mind. If I see anybody mess with Jayla or even talk about the rumor, I'm kicking you of my class and you will get a strike. Does everybody understand me?" -Waters said

We all shook our head, signaling Professor Waters that we heard her.

"Good, now...start making music and act like nothing has happened. I do not want a subject that doesn't relate to this class." -She finished and we all played our music and did our assignment.

It was starting to be lunch. Since I only applied for 3 classes, I am able to walk around the college and do some things. I walk up to the counter and pay for my food, and before I left the counter to sit at a table, I was still getting looks and faces of disgust. A couple of students was shouting at me, saying some things that still gets me angry as time goes by.

"You need a tan, oh wait, you can't. You'll burn to death."

"I hope there is garlic in your food. I want you to suffer."

"Why are eating human food anyways? You only feed off of blood."

"What type of sick person would eat human food? She is gonna vomit at some point."

I kept on ignoring them but slowly, I was getting sick of it. I finally walk over to a table and sat down. I was taking off my mask to a tiny amount to eat the food. After some time, I fully put my mask back up and throw my food away and waited till lunch was over so everyone can leave.

While that I was leaving, I was still getting looks as everyone made their way to their classes. After some time, I felt like I was safe.
