I yawned as Adrian and I walked into our first period class. I looked up and saw we had another substitute. Mr. Wellington hasn't been to class for the past few weeks, ever since that encounter we had in the alley. Maybe I scared him off? I'm not that scary, am I? Nah, he's probably a lazy teacher. I didn't even know they could take this much time off. I sat down in my seat, and dozed off as the bell rang.

"Marni?" someone whispered.

They poked me in the side and my eyes snapped open. I looked at the clock and saw that class was almost over. I must've fallen asleep.

"Hey, sleeping beauty," Adrian laughed.

"Hi, what'd I miss prince charming?" I yawned.

"Nothing, we just read the whole class," he shrugged.

"Oh, ok," I said.

I laid my head back down. A little while later the bell rang. I groaned and stood up, grabbing my bag. Off to second period!

I sat in second period impatiently, waiting for the lunch bell to ring.

"Calm down, Marns!" Ren laughed.

"She's hungry," Justin shrugged.

"Nice one, captain obvious," I rolled my eyes.

"My job here is done!" Justin saluted.

Ren chuckled and shook her head next to me.

"Ding ding!" the bell rung.

"Yes! Food!" I screamed.

Justin and Ren laughed at me. What? I'm hilarious. I walked towards the table where Jeremy and Adrian sat. Justin left and walked over to his table of friends.

"Hey Marnabebe, Ren," Jeremy greeted.

"Hey Jer!" I said.

"Hi," Ren smiled.

"Hey babe," Adrian smiled at me.

"Hi," I grinned.

"Babe?" Jeremy looked between us.

"Yes, they're dating," Ren giggled.

"I don't come to school for a few days and this is what I miss?" Jeremy exclaimed.

"Yup," I nodded.

"So she knows?" Jeremy whispered to Adrian.

"Yeah, she knows," Adrian nodded.

"And she didn't flip out on you? Wait does Serenity know too?" Jeremy continued to whisper.

"They both know, Jer," Adrian laughed.

"How are they not freaking out?" Jeremy said.

"Cause I'm not human either," I shrugged.

"I am!" Ren said.

"Wait, what are you?" Jeremy asked me.

"A witch," I smiled.

"So you knew I was a vampire too?" he asked.

"Yup," I nodded.

"So Ren, how are you taking this?" Jeremy asked.

"Pretty well actually," she said.

"She's a Blue Blood," I whispered.

I wasn't sure if there were any wolves from Jarrod here.

"Ah, so she's in danger I'm guessing?" Jeremy said.

"Yeah pretty much," I nodded.

"Well I've missed a lot," Jeremy frowned.

"YOU BITCH!" a voice screeched.
