I return my sunglasses onto my face as I head back to the school yard. I watch in amusement as the junior boy and his posey give me a look of disdain as I walk by. Yet the staring did not stop from the other students either. Thank God I have to shade my eyes so I am able to avoid their burning gazes. The even more treacherous sun returns to beam on my skin, making me uncomfortable.
The rumors are true in that sunlight is deadly to vampires. Even wearing special rings given to us by Annabelle, Evelyn and I can only endure it for a short period of time as it soon takes a toll on us. Our abilities are not as sharp and after awhile it can makes us weak, even burn if in it for too long. But the eyes are the most sensitive. Direct contact with sunlight could burn them out, so we use sunglasses that were specifically made for us. I prefer the night time. It is the one time of day I can wander freely without being prone to weakness. But it is now daybreak, making me completely vulnerable as the added level of childish gossip and unneeded cattiness surrounding me in all directions is starting to take a toll on my patience. As I walk into the building, I hear everything the students are whispering and murmuring as I pass.
"Who is this girl?" "Wow she's so hot." "She better stay away from John or I will kill her."
With a roll of my eyes I take my sunglasses off to put back in my bag as I begin to make my way to the front office. I stop as I feel myself getting a text message. I pull my phone out of my back jean pocket to see a message from Evelyn.
E: So how is it fair that my lesbian of a sister can have fun with a boy and I can't? News travels fast around here even without these mortal handheld devices...I'm sure you've already figured that out.
I begin walking again as I text my sister back.
L: Believe me it wasn't much fun.
"Not really a lie...maybe a little."
It was a mistake and won't happen again.
"Hopefully the truth..."
And yes...high school hasn't changed much since sixty five years ago.
"Absolutely true."
E: Well you're right about one thing...it's not much fun. More like utter hell. Why don't we raise a little? Unlike you I could go for a male teenage heartthrob...one with a bad side. It would be far too easy...though ever so satisfying...
L: Don't even think about it.
E: ;)
In the middle of the corridor I stop suddenly as I smell that tantalizing scent from earlier again, now at a closer distance.
The girl I saw outside is now standing at the front desk. She is talking to the secretary for a few moments, having me in deep focus to her features from the side. She is a handsome human: Light brown hair that ends just above her neckline, fair skin, a sense of style that compliments her masculine figure. I look down her body for a slight moment, only to snap out of it when I hear her speak.
