Elvira: *Hmm, he said he would meet me here. But of course he's nowhere to be found. I don't know what I was thinking... He's such a player. Elvira, you need some darn sense knocked into you! Why would a guy like that ever date someone like you? What was that noise?  *
Elvira: Hello? Is someone there?Oh my God! What are you doing here?! Leave me alone!

Serena: Luna, how was your tour of the grounds?
Luna: Pretty incredible. I've never seen a school like this. Everything is so old and beautiful.
Serena: You'll get used to it in due time. The cooks are setting up our dinner now. Do you have any questions about your first day tomorrow?
Luna: Well, I am wondering about the vampires. Are they..  safe?
Serena: Why of course they're safe! All magical creatures are safe. Well, if they're not abusing their powers as we discussed.
Luna: Do all the creatures take classes together?
Serena: They do. The magical families all need to know the same magic. It's how we get by in our world. By sticking together.
Luna: Why am I just learning about this world now? Everyone else has known since birth.
Serena: I don't know the exact reason... But your mother didn't want you here until you were 16.
Luna: But I've never really known my mother. I have no idea if she's dead or where she is...
Serena: You'll find out in due time, dear. But it looks like your powers are only manifesting now. So it's the perfect time for you to start school.
Luna: I guess... I'm just ao confused.
Serena: Let's talk more over dinner.
Luna: Oh yeah, by the way, do you eat normal food here?
Serena: Of course we do! I hope you like chicken and rice!
Luna: Phew! I do.

The next day...

Hunter: Ah, the year is off to a good start already. Us two in the same class.
Luna: Wonderful. A class with a creepy vampire.
Hunter: You're funny, sweetheart. If you need any help getting caught up with things... I'm your vamp.
Luna: Well, I'll sort of need help with everything. I just found out I was a witch a couple days ago.
Hunter: Whoa, you're a total newbie. If I were you, I wouldn't advertise that. I don't care, but some of these Bitten Ones can be judgy.
Luna: Well, I don't think I'm going to be able to hide it!
Hunter: Don't worry, I got your back, sweetheart.
Luna: Stop calling me that!
Hunter: Why? I mean it literally. I'm a vampire so I can actually smell how good your heart would taste.
Luna: Do you... Suck people's blood?
Hunter: Wow, you have so much to learn.
Luna: *He's got such a great laugh.*
Hunter: We drink from vials, this isn't the stone ages.
Luna: Uh sure, got it.
Hunter: Speaking of the stone ages, here comes the neanderthal himself.
Preston: Hey, Dracula. I could literally smell you from down the hall.
Hunter: Are you sure that wasn't your upper lip?
Preston: Hmmm, good comeback. I see you've changed for the better over the summer. Anyway, who's your lovely new friend?
Hunter: Luna, this is Preston. School idiot.
Preston: Actually, I'm the captain of the football team and class president.
Luna: I'm Luna... Do you always insult other students on the first day of school? If so, I guess I better watch out.
Preston: I'd never insult you, gorgeous. I'm going to guess you're a witch. Since I'm completely bewitched by your beauty.
Hunter: Seriously, dude?
Luna: I am a witch. And you are?
Preston: Hmmm... Take a guess.
Luna: A troll?
Preston: Troll?! I'll let that one slide because you have such pretty eyes. And no, I'm a wizard. Me being a wizard means we're kin.
Hunter: Don't get excited Luna, that's not good thing.
Luna: Are you in this class too?
Preston: I am. Why don't you sit next to me? I'll save you a seat.
Luna: Maybe.
Preston: That's better than a no. See you inside.
Luna: Ok, so I'm guessing you two don't get along?
Hunter: Hell no. Like I said, he's an idiot. See you at lunch, sweetheart.
Luna: Huh? Where are you going?
Hunter: Wouldn't you like to know?

Luna: *That first class was totally over my head. I had no idea the Bitten Ones had been around since the dinosaurs!*
Trish: Aw honey, you look lost. Can I help you with anything?
Luna: Um, no. Just getting my bearings.
Trish: I see. Well, let me give you a quick tip. There are three types of creatures at this school... Wizards and witches are the elite. The most powerful.
Darla: Vampires are creepy. But totally hot.
Trish: And trolls are the bottom of the barrel. They barely have any power at all.
Luna: Hmmm... That sounds pretty discriminatory..
Trish: Maybe. But it's the truth. Ya know, Luna, I saw you outside class today talking to Preston and Hunter. Second day here and you've got attention of the hottest Bitten Ones in school.
Luna: I didn't really ask for it...
Trish: Let me give you another quick tip... Preston's mine. And I'd stay far away from Hunter if you know what's good for you.
Luna: Why, what's up with Hunter?
Trish: Well, as I'm sure you know, he's a vampire. And needless to say, vampires get around, if you know what I mean. Creatures of all kinds fall all over themselves to be with him. Even though they know he's the love them anf leave them sort.
Luna: Hmm. Well, thanks for the warning. But I think I can take care of myself.
Trish: I'm serious. And one girl he was whit went missing. Some say she dropped out of school because she had a broken heart. But I don't believe that for a minute.
Luna: You think Hunter did something to her?
Trish: Of course I do. Vampires can't help their true nature. Blood comes first. I don't know why no one is investigating hin.
Luna: I see. Thanks for the warning, I guess.
Trish: Just remember what I told you about Preston and we'll be fine. See you later, girl!
Luna: *I better be careful around those two.*
Aly: So what did you think of the Queen Bee?
Luna: Huh?
Aly: Sorry, I should have introduced myself first. My name is Aly. And yes, I am a troll. If you couldn't already tell.
Luna: It's nice to meet you, Aly.
Aly: I'm sure Trish just gave you the rundown about trolls around here. But I hope you don't take it to heart. Us trolls are really cool creatures!
Luna: Don't worry, I make my own decisions about who I like and don't like.
Aly: Well, then I like you already. And if I were you... I'd be careful around Trish. She can be really mean and nasty.
Luna: That doesn't surprise me.
Aly: Anyway, do you want to have lunch together?
Luna: Sure, I'm starving. Lead thw way.

Later...

Luna: What a long day! Those three classes really took a lot out of me.
Aly: You're telling me. They never go easy on us, even if it's the first day.
Darla: Did you hear the news?! Elvira has gone missing!
Aly: What?!
Luna: Who is Elvira?!
Darla: One of the witches here. She never showed up to any of her classes. The school is going nuts!
Aly: The poor thing! I hope she's Ok!
Darla: If you ask me, it was Hunter again! They were rumored to be dating! That would be the second girl he's connected to that's disappeared!
Luna: I don't think we should jump to conclusions. We have no idea what happened.
Darla: Don't be naive, newbie. Trish and I are going to lock ourselves in our room! You two should do the same
Luna: I'm sure they'll find her soon.
Aly: I don't know. We didn't have too much luck with the first missing girl. I'm going to do as she says and go to my room. Don't forget to lock the door. Use your wand!
Luna: *Could Hunter have anything to do with this? *
Hunter: Hey, sweetheart. Up for a midnight stroll?
