Calin
I walked into class, grinning to see me friends already there, fresh and tanned from summer break. Nicasio, Keene and Adrian were huddled around one table, watching something on Adrian's phone. As I approached, I heard my friends notice me.
"Hey! Calin is here!"
"Calin Yo!"
"Looking fresh!"
"Wassup guys" I replied back with a smile, adressing them all with fist bumps and high fives. "Damn France was good but I missed you guys! It was a long summer break, but the vampire population is amazing over there! so many gorgeous vampire chicks man!"
Pure vampires are really rare nowadays and people are usually a mix of vampire and human or vampire and something else, like wolf or pixie, called mélanger.
"I didnt know that there were a lot of vamps in France.", Adrian said blankly.
"Adrian, you idiot." I retorted. "France is the most highly populated area for vampires in the world, along with Transylvania. Its kinda weird that France is so highly populated and England is so empty with s mere population of 500."
"Blah blah blah. dont hit us with that smart talk Calin, we dont care" Adrian retorted glumly.
I was about to punch him right in the mouth when Mrs Jackson burst into the room with elegance and grace and everyone scrambled to their seats and sat in silence. I casually walked to the back of the room, being the last one to sit down drawing the attention of everyone in the room. I chose a seat away from my friends to prevent distraction.
She opened the door and slammed it closed, looking at the class roughly then continuing her gaze fixed to the floor. I caught a glimpse of her large hazel eyes that lit up the room. The girls long thick hair went down to her waist, working well with her caramel skin.Her skin was glowing. Her white jean shorts showed her long, tanned legs and she had a black vest top on. I immediately licked my lips.
Slipping a note on the teachers desk, the girl looked around for a seat again. The only one that was avialable was next to me. Just my luck.
She stormed down the aisle towards me, walking like a model on a catwalk in her black high heels. She sat down heavily, fanning herself.
"Hey there." I smiled, flashing my fangs. "Its a hot night, huh?"
"its always boiling here, im not sure if i like it" she scowled.
I was speechless. She was British! In all my travelling ive never seen one before, and here is a British (and cute as hell) vampire sitting right here next to me!
The shock must have registered on my face as her face changed and she looked down again, and hunched into her shell again.
"What? I dont like being stared at."
All I could do was look back at the teacher.
"Class, this is Ophelia, she is a new student here from London, England."
The whole class burst into frantic, exciting murmurs.
Ophelia got up out of her seat with vampire speed. The whole class fell silent and looked at her . For a second, she seemed to start to shout, then sat back down again, murmuring am apology.
"Moving on," Mrs Jackson continued. "Who can tell me why fangs are useful to vampires?"
No one would really know this answer- except me of course. I raised my hand slowly, a smug grin on my face as I looked around the classroom. There was one hand up.
"Keene?" the teacher asked hopefully.
Keene sighed. "Killing people, drinking blood..."
"Keene" the teacher interrupted "we have had enough anyone else?"
A timid hand rose high up in the silent room.
"Ophelia?" Mrs Jackson said with surprise and anticipation.
She lowered her turquoise coloured nails and cleared her throat. "Fangs are mainly used for drinking and scaring off any threats. Now they can be used for showing off in a kind of mating call" she flicked her glance in my direction. "but thats just for showing off mainly."
"not exactly" I cut in.
"Ancient vampire history uses flashing of fangs as a sign of acknowledgement and respect in formal settings." I said matter of factly, giving her a quick wink and flashing my fangs once more.
Class ended without another word from Ophelia. I put my hand up and answered all the questions right.
Me and the guys waked down the dimly lit hall.
All halls are dimly lit to prevent our eyes from hurting too much.
"Whats up with that new girl, guys?" Nicasio asked
"Yeah, shes weird." Keene replied
"No, shes British. I bet its scary everyone staring at her" I replied. "but i call dibs guys, she is mine"
We all laughed.
