Half Vamp Blooded

Ch.5 Not such an easy start

A teacher had entered the room; she was wearing a deep green pencil skirt and a white shirt and black heels. Her hair was up in a neat bun, she wore spectacles, which with the combination of her sharp brown eyes made her look fox-faced. She had a pointed nose and skin was neither pale nor dark. She turned towards me and spoke, “You must be Xian Park, the new student. Mind coming up here and introducing yourself to the class?” I swallowed hard; Ryan gave me a hard budge which sent me forward. I stiffly walked to the front *Oh jeez! Do I need to do this?* I turned towards the class, *How many students were there? Nearby twenty?* “Hallo everyone!” I smiled, “As ma’am has already told you guys my name, Xian Park. I came here from Chicago and I’ve already started liking this place. Hope I get to know you all nicely.”  I turned towards the teacher; I think I remember her name. Dad was telling me my new homeroom teacher’s name.... “Betty Scarlet ma’am can I return to my seat now?” “Sure, okay so class. Till where did we reach of the 2nd chapter? Open your books......” I wanted the lessons to end as soon as possible, they were making me sleepy.

The bell didn’t ring any soon as well. “Arrghh..... I can’t take it anymore!” “What happened? You don’t like French?” Ryan asked. “I do! But this, this Betty made it seem boring. Are all the teachers like that?” Ryan looked up and made a thinking-in-process look, “Don’t worry you may like the others, we got gym class now, go get changed you wouldn’t wanna get late.” He winked in the last words. I stood straight and banged on the table for support. *I wanna see the gym!!* I grabbed my clothes and went to Zoe, she was sitting with Saveres and next to them sat Robert with another girl, she had pale skin like Robert, her long blond curled hairs came down till her back and her eyes were blue. “Lead me to the changing room.” Zoe grabbed my hand and threw her other fist in the air, “Let’s go!!”

Left, left, right, straight....... we had to take multiple turnings to reach our destination. The door was painted white and there was a plate on it ‘Girls locker room’ it said, Zoe turned the knob and a sweet smell entered my nose as the door opened. This room was bigger than my previous school’s one, it was spacious and had four rows of lockers. The lockers were painted red and the walls were pale blue, the roof was pale pink and so was the floor. I walked to the third row’s 2nd last locker, *I guess this the one they told me would be mine, what was the code?* umm.... 2-2-5-0 click! I opened it and it had the ‘new-locker’ smell. I took off my uniform and put on the gym clothes. White t-shirt with a red collar and black shorts. Much comfier than the uniform and these white shoes as well are much better. “Hi Xian!” I turned to the unfamiliar voice to face an orange haired girl, shorter than me, deep blue eyes, she was doll-like.

“Hello”

“I’m Caroline Brown, you can call me Carol.”

“Hi Carol and nice to meet you. You’re of my class right?”

“Yep. I can see you already laid your hands on Ryan.”

“Huh? No! He was just helping me getting settled.”

Carol brought her face closer to mine and her cute smile turned into an ugly frown.

“Look! Ryan is mine so you’d better stay away from him, or else you will regret being here.”

I swallowed hard, her scowl reminded me of those bullies, I didn’t want to hit a doll!

“You should go increase your height first than go boy-hunting.”

Zoe!! She pulled her by the collar and had Carol in mid-air.

“Let me go! Lemme go!!” Carol was kicking the air, “Let me go!! You damn bully!!!”

“Oh! I’m too good to bully anyone.” Saying this Zoe threw Carol on the floor.

*Whoa!*

“Let’s go Xian; monkey forgot her banana home today.”

I put my arm around her shoulder and walked to the gym.
