Notes

For Real

     You groan as your head is propped up against the car window. You stare out at the trees as your car whooshes past them. You sigh, saying, "Dad, do we really have to move? Again?"
     He nods in the seat next to you, keeping his eyes on the road. "Honey, you know I don't want to do this. But there's a hunt and the thing has been killing people for weeks. No hunter has gotten to whatever the hell it is. We'll only be here for a little bit, I promise."
     You sigh again and mumble, "that's what you said last time..."
     Your father puts his hand on your shoulder for reassurance, but none comes. His voice softens, "this time, it's for real."

     It's the first day of school. Well, at least for you. You had just moved and convieniently, the school year just started a few weeks ago.
     You stare in the mirror, trying to figure out if you should wear your black combat boots, black jeans, and your leather jacket.
     Suddenly, you hear your father yell from the other room, "Vera! C'mon, we gotta leave!"
     Shrugging, you yell back, "coming!"
At the last second, you add the necklace that your mother gave you before she died from a vampire slitting her throat. As you were holding the silver pendant in your hand, you remember that horrible night. You were sobbing over her and it was that one minute when you decided that you'd hunt down the thing that killed her. Ever since then, you and your father have been hunting things; vampires, werewolves, kitsunes, wendigos, rugarus, witches... The necklace was a simple silver chain with a small charm that was carved into a devil's trap, but it had a lot of meaning.
     Grabbing your bag with everything you need for school, you run out of your room. You quickly get a waffle and you run out of the door into your dad's car. You slide into shotgun and he drives you to school at an unsettling speed. You quickly eat your waffle as your dad starts to blare the music. Laughing, you sing along with him.

     Stepping out of the car, you see how big the highschool actually is. It's really quite intimidating. You were about to turn around to ask your dad if you could skip today and go to school tomorrow, but he was already driving out of the parking lot — leaving you alone to fend for yourself.
     You sigh as you walk onto the sidewalk. All of a sudden, someone practically appears right in front of you and you accidentally bump into the person and they turn around. The person that you bumped into has sleek blonde hair that goes to her waist. She looks you up and down and then says, "how about you watch where you're going, asshat. Or should I just let you run off to the restrooms to cut your wrists?"
     You smirk as you begin to say something, but someone comes up behind you. They say, "Bianca, go back to whatever the hell you were doing. Leave this girl alone."
     Bianca huffs as she turns around and walks away, her hips bobbing back and forth.
     You turn around and say, "thanks, but I can take care of myself."
     The man that had told Bianca to go away was stunning; he had beautiful green eyes and outstanding facial features. He has been blessed by the lord of genes.
     He smirks and says, "no problem, that girl's a real prick. See you around."
He starts to walk away, but you grab his forearm and he turns around. You smile and say, "I never caught your name.... I'm Vera."
     The man smirks and says, "maybe you never caught it because I never threw it. And nice grip." He looks down at your hand and your let it fall from his arm.
     He smiles — for real. He looks at your necklace and says, "nice necklace, where'd ya get it?"
     You smile back and say, "that's a story for another time.... Oh and can you help me get to my locker? I'm new here."
     He nods and says, "gladly."
