CHAPTER 3

Nyah's POV

I could see the look of desperation in Rian's eyes as he shut the door.

He knew what had happened.

We all did.

His eyes locked to mine through the glass of the blue door.

I couldn't help him now.

His eyes calling for me. I didn't know what was driving for the lust behind them: me or my blood.

He hadn't turned.

"Nyah he's gonna turn isn't he?" Mayori questioned.

I nodded.

"You're gonna be okay right?" Junia asked.

I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. No I wasn't going to be okay. My head was spinning and I wasn't sure if that was the Smirnoff or the situation.

"Yeah I'm fine. He was annoying anyways." Ulani responded. From the look on Junia's face I could tell the question was meant for me but I couldn't say anything.

Ulani already knew what had happened between me and Rian. I made sure to tell her. But conveniently she had managed to forget.

Mayori rolled her eyes. She heavily disliked Ulani. She held great resentment for her and at first, it could have been argued that the disdain was unwarranted but now, I was beginning to see why.

2 years ago

My feet dragged across the floor, as my tear filled eyes darted across the hall for my friends. Junia? Mayori? Leya? They were all gone. No where to be seen. I held the crumpled up piece of paper in my hand tighter.

It didn't make sense. How could I come back from this? Suspension. For something I had no part in. It may have seemed so trivial, but I could lose everything I worked so hard for with this little problem.

Tears streamed down my cheek and I continued to wallow in self-pity. I was doing the one thing I hated: crying in school. To me, it was like bleeding in a tank full of sharks.

No one can see me like this. Weak. Vulnerable. But luckily for me, I received this letter at lunch time when the hall was so densely packed.

I needed to find my friends before too many people saw what was going on.

That's when my heart dropped. A group of populars stood, chatting to each other, when Rian and I made eye contact.

I knew for a fact I was sniffling. My nose was probably runny and my eyes may have began to be puffy.

I was in for the mocking of a life. Because that's what Rian and his friends do. They bully and torment anyone who shows any sort of emotion. So I knew I was in trouble.

And it made things worse when I saw him leave his group without saying a word and walk over to me. I prepared myself to hear a barrel of mockery thrown at me, but instead he asked in a calm manner,

'What's up?'.

I looked up and saw his deep brown eyes staring longingly into mine. Never had I ever found Rian remotely attractive. If I had to rate him out of 10, 1 being never want to see his face again, 10 being I wanted to fuck him then and there, I would give him a four. Not for any particular reason, he just wasn't my type.

But in that moment, for a split second, he was all I could see. I wanted that moment to last forever.

"Uh...yeah...no...I don't know." I said. I couldn't breathe and I wasn't quite sure if it was because of the crying or him.
