My girlfriend's a Vampire

Untitled Part 13

Chapter 12

I walked into the school, I wasn't pulling Rebeca anymore, she followed me without encouragement. We walked into the school, I felt the pressure, and it was greater than I thought that it would've been. I felt like a walking disease, EVERYONE was staring at me. People parted out of mine and Rebeca's path like Moses parted the Red Sea. Like they were going to catch whatever I had, I saw even a few get so ill from looking at me that they raced for the trashcans and vomited in them. I felt so horrible, I was kind of regretting coming to school. Rebeca saw how miserable I was feeling and she threw a shoulder around me, and hugged me with the other arm. Even in the Commons people made way for me and Rebeca, it was getting to me, and school hadn't even started yet.

We got to the class and sat down in our seats. As normal even the teacher wasn't in class yet.

"I'm sorry," Rebeca said to me.

"Don't be," I told her.

"I don't see how that's possible," She said.

"I know," I told her. I wrapped my arms around her. She hesitated when my arms went around her. My condition had even gotten to her too. I waited and she brought her arms up and hugged me back.

"I'm sorry for that too," She said. Knowing that I knew what she meant.

"It's ok," I told her. She started crying into my chest, I sighed and held her close, she was also holding me close. I heard the door open and didn't look up, I didn't care who it was.

"Well, that was something I wasn't expecting," Jene's voice said. I still didn't turn to her. But unfortunately Rebeca did, breaking my embrace and she stopped crying but the redness around her eyes told everyone that she had been.

"Leave us alone," Rebeca said to Jene.

"That's not going to happen," She said. I sighed and turned to Jene so she could see the horror of what I looked like.

"Still stubborn?" I asked. She looked away, she started to cough and she dashed over to the trashcan and I heard the strangely satisfying sound of Jene vomiting.

"What happened to you?" Jene asked, spitting the last of the vomit out of her mouth and standing up from the trash can.

"I have no clue, I woke up like this yesterday and I was said that I was too sick to come to school," I lied to her.

"I don't believe that for a second," She said looking through my lie. When you lie, one of the basics is that you make your lie realistic or chance are no matter how well you are at spinning it the person your trying to convince will not believe you.

"I don't care if you do or not," I told her. Jene walked out of the room, it looked like she was going to throw up again.

"Well that got her away," I said. Rebeca smiled weakly.

"Yeah," She said.

"Well we won't have to worry about Arial looking for us personally, she can ask anyone in town after school is done what's happened to me: I died and I'm still walking," I said with a small smile. Rebeca sighed

"You always were able to find the good points in any situation," She told me.

"Thanks," I said, taking the compliment. Students started to file into the class. They were repulsed by me and sat on the edge of their seat that was facing away from me. Ralph, Jessica and Jene all sat at other desks. But Jessica apologized to Rebeca about accusing Rebeca the way that Jessica had. And Rebeca accepted it, I could feel that Rebeca was anxious, she was thinking that Jessica had gone over what she had seen with more detail and neither me nor Rebeca could take that kind of risk I could hear people all over the class starting rumors about me, in no small part to my enhanced hearing.
