Chapter 9 - So Lost...

The sun is so beautiful; even more so as it hits the blonde hair and strange green eyes of my companion. The wind blows softly and the breeze runs through our hair brushing it back gently. As we're running around the playset there's laughter and joy encompassing our little world. I follow behind her because I know she could never keep up with me, the swings, the slide, the monkey bars, the ladder, no area is left unconquered. She turns to me and smiles, her aura glowing off of her skin but there is something new, a strange, sickeningly sweet aroma, sweet enough to make you vomit- 

*RIIIINNNNNGGGG*

"What the-?" I jump up as the bell rings signaling us to change classes causing my pens and paper to fly all around my desk but of course, no one stops to help me pick it all up. I shove everything in my schoolbag and run out of the room and towards my next class. However, in my torpid stupor I forgot which period it is and ran smack into my Fine Arts teacher, Professor Aldridge, before I realized that it was our lunch hour.

"Well hello October, sleeping through our school day again are we?"

"My apologies Professor."

"It's quite alright dear, however, I do have a favor to ask you..."

For some reason this favor does not strike me as something I'd like to do but I respond politely regardless, I don't have friends here so I should atleast have the Faculty on my side.

"Yes, Professor?" 

"We will be getting a transfer student tomorrow and I would like for you to show her around... I thought you might be perfect for this opportunity, you make excellent marks and could... well... I think it would benefit the both of you."

Did this old bat really just call me a loser, a nerd, and say I needed friends all in the same sentence?

"As you wish Professor..."

"Thank you October, as you will both be in my first block tomorrow you can begin then, have a splendid lunch hour."

I slow down now that I am fully conscious and am in no rush. No one would think to take my spot in the courtyard, and even if they did I think they'd be more than willing to leave once I got there. Puberty does have its' advantages you know, hypnotisim is starting to become a fine tuned skill, plus my hearing and speed are increasing as is my flying ability. I have been lucky in the fact that my blood lust is not that bad quite yet. However, I am definitely feeling the negative sides, my sleep patterns are getting harder to cope with in regards to school, my nose is rediculously sensitive, and the blood lust is there. Not to mention this cloudiness that has been filling my head since yesterday... I don't know what's up with that. 

Wait... who... is Leighton seriously in my spot? And why aren't any of his Ice Picks following him around? I walk up to him and he turns on a dime glaring at me like he is about to commit murder.

"What is your problem?" I ask confused, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary...

"You know damn well what my problem is October, just when it is all starting to quiet down you have to fuck it up-"

"What the hell are you talking about Leighton? I haven't done anything!" I can feel my eyes starting to glow as the fire rushes through my veins... I have to get a hold of myself, keep my cool, we are in public. 

His eyes dim as he looks me over then mumbles "not yet you haven't, but you'll know when you do... find a ride home, you aren't riding with me anymore."

Utterly lost I give up on understanding his rediculousness and plop down onto the grass, what the ever loving fuck just happened? I wish I could focus and try to figure out what's going on but as lunch and then the rest of the day wears on I just become more lethargic and unfocused. I skip my final two classes and fly home straight into my bed where I stay for the rest of the night utterly exhausted. What is wrong with me?
