Manipulation

Ch 10 A broken Spirit

Light hit my face making me groan and roll over. Something brushed my nose and I opened my eyes a little to see a blanket wrapped around me. I closed my eyes again not caring. I could hear people talking outside of the room and the wind blowing outside softly. I could smell coconut but ignored the smell. I could hear someone walking around quietly, their footsteps whispers over the carpet. The person was muttering something to themselves every now and then.

Suddenly something hit my side and I looked up to see a pillow laying on me. "Get up!" Angel snaps and walks away from my bed.

Carefully I sit up, every muscle in my body refused and I groaned rubbing my shoulder. "Gee, love you too," I mutter and crawl out of bed.

Angels head popped out of the bathroom, her green eyes narrowed on me. "You've got five minutes"

I frowned at her then looked at the clock. It was 8:55 pm (which is morning for them. Remember?).I quickly swore and ran over to grab some clothes. "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" I ask pulling out a teal colored shirt and some black jeans. I'm just taking off my pants when I noticed someone had changed me.

"Forgot," Angel says causally from the bathroom. I glance at her then pull on my jeans and start to take my shirt off. "See ya." Angel smiled sweetly as she walked out of the room, the door closing softly behind her. I started after her for a minute before I quickly pull my shirt on and run to the bathroom. My hair was a birds nest and my face was clean of make-up. More then likely from the rain last night.

By the time I had brushed my hair and done a quick make-up I was late. I heard the bell for the first class start and groaned. "Someone kill me now," I mutter and walk out the door. Timetable, I turned back around and trudged into my room. I grabbed my bag off my bed and started towards the door again. She could have woken me up earlier, I think before walking out the door. My stomach growled softly and I wished my first period was free or study hall. I was out of luck. Health. My eyes looked at the class after that and I silently prayed it was something I could skip. No, out-ed.

I gave a halfhearted sob and rushed down the hall even though my legs screamed in pain the whole time. That's what happens when you run for an hour and a half non stop. I bolted down the stairs and ran down the hall to the next staircase. Why did I have to have a room on the third floor. I jumped down the staircase murmuring swear words and had just pushed the front door open when the last bell went. From now on I was late.

I groaned and kicked a stone in my path. I stopped running and started walking. May as well skip class. I headed to the cafeteria for some breakfast. That was probably the only good thing about this school, they always had food out. People were standing around the court yard talking like they do everyday. When I arrived to the cafeteria there was only a handful of people. None of which I knew. I groaned inwardly this time.

Today I must have already broken the world recorded for groans. Pull a knot out of my hair - groan. Look at the clock - groan. Being late for class - groan. Having to go to class - groan. Having to eat - groan. It wasn't that I wasn't hungry or anything, but every time I moved my muscles would complain and my head felt like it was full of concrete.

When the bell went for my next class I was already halfway to the room. I realized i had out-ed. That better not be outdoor education. I may just cry. Unfortunately it was outdoor education. Our teacher said we were going for a bike ride. Groan. In the dark? Groan. Emily who was in this class gave me a look before shaking her head. "I love bike rides. My room mate Jazz says they have this wicked bike ridding course. You have to go all around these hills and it's six miles. I hope we get to do it!" she smiled excitedly.

I gave another groaning sob and dropped my head. The teacher stopped and narrowed his eyes on me before going back to talking.

By lunch I was dead. If someone mentions running, jogging or even walking I would nearly cry. My whole body complained with every move. Even when I wasn't moving my muscles complained like a child wanting candy. I dropped my head on the table and let out a half sob. "Are you okay? You look ready to pass out."

"You would too if you had to run for an hour and a half, and even though your muscles were screaming at you and you have to go bike riding up a freaking hill!" I raised my head looked at Emily who raised her eyebrows at me.

"What do you have next?" This time it was Bianca who spoke. I pulled out my timetable and flung it at her. It slowly landed on the table in front of her. Hey, it's made of paper, get over it. "Ah, weaponry and then study-hall" she says to herself.

"Why don't you skip study-hall and go to the main bathroom at the house?" Emily asks. I gave her a look saying 'huh?' so she rolled her eyes. "At everyone's house, there's a main bathroom. Not the one on each floor, it's in the basement. It's rarely used. They have these large bath tubes filled with.... I don't know what it is, but it helps heal your body. Even if it's just sore muscles."

I stared at her then nodded slowly. "Okay."

Bianca frowned at Emily. "I havn't noticed one in my house."

"I'm not sure if your house has one," Emily explains. "It should though. Vampires may heal fast but they may still need to have one. It's like a spa," Emily sighed dreamily before shaking her self out of it. "Anyway,"

Bianca frowned at Emily. "I havn't noticed one in my house"

"I'm not sure if your house has one" Emily says. "It should though. Vampires may heal fast but they may still need to have one. There like a spa" Emily sighed dreamily before shaking her self out of it. "Anyway"
