My Totally Suck Worthy Life

Chapter 4: A Walk in the Forest

Chapter 4

Walking through the school buildings again felt different from how it used to. It probably had something to do with how I wanted to rip the throats out of everyone who walked by or the way they looked at me. It was almost like I was popular. Boys gave me looks of longing and girls gave me ones of envy and hate. Mostly hate. People whispered as they walked by the office door where I was standing waiting for Nat and the guys to come out. After the last three nasty comments I decided to tune out of their hushed conversations, watching their pulses instead. I could just imagine sinking my fangs into that guys...

"Ew, your drooling" Nat wiped the side of my lip with a perfectly pink manicured finger. Looking away from a guys neck, I glanced at the disgusted look on her face. I gave her a sheepish grin as Cam and Jake joined us.

"Sorry" I mumbled wiping away any access saliva with the back of my hand. She made another face before handing me a piece of paper. Raising my eyebrows in question I glanced down at the paper which I noticed was her timetable. My eyebrows went up even further when I noticed we had every class together. Well, every class except psychology which she had when I had no class. I don't know what happened but at the start of the year I was never assigned a class and I never took it upon myself to talk to admin about it because who would complain about one less class to do. I started to hide away in the cleaners closet and just do homework I never did the night before. So far no one has discovered my dirty secret and there's only a couple weeks of school left for the year so I plan to keep it that way. 

"We have, like every class together" I noted giving her a smile. She squealed, jumping up and down like an excited kid before giving me a hug.

"We all do" Jake mimicked Nat's squeal joining in on the hug. I had to admit that was one of the weirdest sounds I've ever heard come out a males mouth. Cam just stood near us looking to cool for a group hug. When we finally pulled back Jake swung both arms around mine and Nat's shoulders.

"Lead the way Sookie" Jake grinned at my 'are-you-freaking-serious' expression. I began walking towards our home room which was conveniently placed at the other end of the school. People flat out stared as we walked across campus. I spotted Jessica and smiled at her which she just glared.  My smile dropped and so did my mood. Instead of hurt I felt anger at her stupid gesture. How could she. Violent images filled my mind and my lips formed a cruel smile. Fear flashed across her features before she turned back to whoever she was talking to. The bell rang just as we arrived at our classroom door. Jake finally dropped his arms so we could get in the room. Ignoring more stares we sat at the very back of the class away from the windows. Kids rushed into the room just as the teacher sat down not even glancing our way. He called the roll then grabbed his computer and started doing whatever it is he does. People just began to talk among themselves, some moved over to us and started to chat with the guys and Nat. Some even talked to me but I was to busy yawning to reply. When home room finally finished I made a beeline to the safety of my closet. I was almost there when I ran straight into my best friend. 

"Watch where your going" she sneered. Make that former best friend. I growled at her and pulled her into the closet with me.

"What's your problem" I hissed at her, pushing her against the wall. Nervous laughter came out her mouth as she struggled.

"When did you get so strong?" She continued to laugh nervously. Her perfume filled my nose making me gag. She wore to much of it. Her pulse quickened as I moved closer to her. Something sharp ripped open my bottom lip making me hiss in pain. Jessica doubled her struggle, her neck coming into contact with my sharp fangs. The smell of her blood filled my nose overpowering every other scent. I lunged towards her sinking my fangs deeply into the side of her neck. Her blood mixed with mine as it filled my mouth, spilling over the sides. I greedily ripped at her throat making the blood come more rapidly as her breathing slowed and eventually stopped. Her limp body hit the floor as it slipped out of my grasp. Her throat was torn to a bloodied mangled mess. Her eyes stared at me blankly.
