Chapter 48: Erotic Neurotic

I went back to my seat and sat down as our chemistry teacher stared at me in disappointment. Chemistry was never one of my strong suits but I was always somehow able to answer Ms Granger's questions. Which would explain why she was blatantly frowning at me right now.

I sighed to myself and watched as someone else solved the formula easily. Normally this whole episode would annoy me to no end but today not being able to solve a chemistry formula seemed like the least of my problems.

So I ignored her as my mind replayed yesterday over and over again. So many things had happened in just the span of a few hours. 

Me finding out my grandmother was schizophrenic and that my mother thought I was too. Throwing a rock and breaking Zayn's bedroom window. Watching Joseph Morden's video and then walking into his dead body. 

Finding out Harry's secret.

It felt like a whole television series had been crammed up into one episode. It was too much.

And now I had to piece everything together and make some sense of it.

One thing was for sure though, seeing Harry's map of clues yesterday was enough to give me some hope. The articles I saw proved that they were other people out there like me. People like Sally and Joseph who everyone thought were crazy but were they really?

I would know because I was going through the exact same thing and I knew the moment I gave in and accepted that I was indeed crazy then I would lose the battle and most probably my life as well.

So that was not an option. No matter what anyone told me or how many therapists I had to see, I had to remain strong and stubborn about the fact that Zayn was a vampire out to get me. There was no two ways about it. I had to believe that or I would lose myself and I didn't want to end up like Sally.

Thanks to Harry I now had a lead on what was going on and now that I knew what Zayn might be up to I had a chance to beat him at his own game. At least I hope I did. 

The first thing I needed to do was talk to Kareena, Joseph's ex girlfriend. He said she knew things that proved he wasn't making things up and I needed to know what.

I bit my lip in frustration when I realized that I had therapy after class today. I really didn't want to waste my time listening to someone convince me that I needed psychiatric help when I could be saving my life by figuring out exactly what was going on.

The bell rang after a while. I stuffed my book in my bag and got up to leave but stopped when I heard Ms. Granger call my name.

"Rosalie, I'd like to see you for a minute please."

I bunched my hands into fists and reluctantly turned around. What was her problem? Was it because I couldn't answer that stupid question? 

"Yes, Ms Granger?" I asked politely through gritted teeth.

"Rosalie I marked last weeks test papers yesterday and I was surprised to see you got a 'B'. Is everything alright? You seem extremely distracted lately and I've never seen you not answer a question before," She ran a hand through her messy brown hair and looked up at me in concern.

I stared at the paper she was holding up and frowned. Despite not really liking the subject I'd always put in the extra effort to at least get an A-. But then again considering how little I'd studied getting a B didn't seem so bad.

"I'm fine Ms Granger just a bit preoccupied that's all," I said quietly.

"I know a B is still a pretty decent grade but I know your potential. Your're one of our potential honor roll students."
