Fangs Out

Chapter 6: Ninjas

Delia's POV

"It's your favorite topic today on Interspecies Bio." Kora smiles as we walk through the crowded hallway clutching our books to our chests.

"What?" I ask shifting my eyes at her after scanning through the line of lockers for the dumb messages sprayed on them like 'You kiss here, you'll have to kiss me too' and 'dead inside.'

"Yeah, Lilith had it for first period. She told me we'll be discussing about humans." She explains gladly.

"Oh, that's great! I've always longed for a time to study more about them. I mean don't you ever feel really curious sometimes?"

Kora hums for a while and shakes her head, "Nah, not really."

I scoff as we reach for room 104 which is Interspecies Biology class. We step in quietly into the full classroom and take a seat.

Our interspecies bio teacher is Professor Vladimir. Yeah he's Russian so everyone can't help but crack up everytime he starts a sentence with his funny accent. And not to mention he might use his language a few times.

"Dobriy den', welcome students to Eenterspecees Bio. 'ello again." He starts before everyone chuckles quietly but the professor ignores us. "Tooday, our lesson weel be very deefferent."

Students begin to chatter about what topics we might be hearing about today and some had got the idea of what it is.

"Calm doun nou, thees lesson weel be very much eenteresteeng if you leesten well." He smiles making his bushy moustache rise up.

"As you knou, you have been learneeng abot creatures like veetches, verevolves, vuarlocks, and even demons. But nou that you are a junior, we weel be learneeng abot hoomans for our first topic! Fun right?"

Excitement erupts through my body and to my face because we've been learning about werewolves mating, demon exorcism, witchcraft, bla bla bla. To hell with those boring things! Finally got the chance to learn hooman stuff now.

Everyone in the class seems to be pretty excited too, except for Tyson. I could see him resting his chin on his fist with a straight face. He's been through it all anyway.

Before Professor Vladimir starts off the topic, I feel a nudge on my right. It's Kora, she looks my way with a chirpy grin before leaning towards me whispering very quietly making sure no one (with their amazing hearing skills) could hear.

"Raphael is totally checking you out." She leaned backward still with the grin on and I look back to see him sitting on a corner two rows behind.

He's smirking my way before switching his attention to the professor.

Ugh, I really regret looking at him. It'll make him feel even more confident about this. Rumors have spread around the school like lightning about Raph's crush on me but I never liked him like that. Yeah he's got the charming good looks but he's only a good friend to me and I want to keep it that way.

I was really surprised when I found out he liked me, I thought he would've liked a girl like Kora or something. She is way prettier than I am, with her stunning brunette locks and natural thick lashes that I envy on.

I brush off my thoughts about all this, I need to focus on the lesson.

"So, if you deedn't knou the closest hooman touwn to our city is a place called Creekwood. Here in California too. I have never been there, but I heard from other folks about stories of the place. Hoomans are very different to other species on earth. Mortals they are, and they have no idea we, other species exeest, but some might knou demons. We are just myths and stories in their world." The professor explains before sitting on his desk.
