Samantha's Point of View

Class time wasn't all that difficult, well... except for the fact that this kid named Stephen humiliated me in front of the class. But I was glad that Penelope stood up for me, still that fall really hurts like hell. What was the floor even made of?

After some review of some old math I've learned, I would say I'm pretty okay at it. But I can't even remember what Bedmas was, heck I've been saying it wrong for like 2 years!

"Samantha, I would like to see you at my desk please."

Immediately, I knew it was time for Baldimore to check my answers. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't nervous, but it's either that because I'm wearing a sweater or I'm filled with absolute dread that I got something wrong.

"So, you wanted to see me s-sir?"

"Please Baldi is fine, Sam."

"A-Alright! Anything I've missed?" I say as I put my hands in my pockets while fidgeting whatever's in my reach.

"Well, I would like to congratulate you for getting the highest mark in the class." He said with such enthusiasm, I didn't realize that I was smiling.

"Hehehe! Here! A shiny quarter!" Baldi tossed the coin, of which I caught but had now dropped to the floor. "Looks like you've got a little bit more to learn, kid, you may go back to your seat."

"Tch... lucky nerd..." Stephen whispered to his friends, "I bet she'd cheated..."

A group of three boys giggled, I sighed, Shut up Jerks... I bet you're the ones who cheated!

"Hey Sam!" A boy called out to me. I stopped and turned to those idiots.

Annoyed, I responded, "What do you want jerks?"

"What lies at the bottom of the ocean and twitches?"

I sighed, "What?" I was ready to take in their ridicule.

"A nervous wreck!" Then they all laughed, "Hahaha! Good one Ricky!"

"Alright, that's it! You three, detention! Now!" Shouted Mr. Baldimore.

"What are you gonna do if I don't? You Caillou-reject?" Said Ricky.

Oh my god... what the hell am I seeing? This has to be some dumbass dream I'm having... r-right?! I was frozen like a statue, because of the shock, I didn't hear Jaden calling out to me. "Psst! Sam!" Jaden whispered to me, "Come.Back.Here. Now!" without question, Penelope pulled me to her left. "Guys! What the hell is happening right now?!" I questioned, while keeping my voice down.

"Look, we'll both tell you at recess. Just sit tight!" Penelope whispered back.

"OW! WHAT THE SHIT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Ricky shouted. "Yeah! Why did you hit him with a fricking ruler?!" Exclaimed another boy. "Because he was being uncooperative. Now if you don't follow my rules, I will hit you ten times worse." Baldi threatened, and now just hit Stephen.

"OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" Stephen yelled. "And that was for mocking my new student, now please go to detention."

"Fine, I'm tired of this anyway..." They left the classroom without any further protest or disturbance.

"Alright, looks like it's only you five. You may have your recess." Baldi announced. All the other students silently entered in a single file line like it's the military, and walked out to the yard. The atmosphere was just cold and eerie, no one even wanted to make a single sound after that outburst.

Third Point of View

After five minutes of going through the hallways, they all finally reached the yard of the school. The wind was light, and the temperature still had some warmth, despite the fall season. Samantha, Jaden, and Penelope sat on the swings while having a conversation. But Samantha remembers about how the two were gonna explain about Mr. Baldimore's use of corporal punishment. "So was with Mr. Baldimore hitting Stephen with a ruler?" She asked. Jaden stopped swinging and looked straight at the ground, "Baldi just sort of has this thing of "correcting mistakes" by using... well, physical punishment on students who don't follow the rules, or getting his math questions wrong," Penelope also decided to chime in, "There's also been rumors that he could be a demon, or maybe... a vampire."

Samantha was surprised by the two's response, could it really be true? She'd only encountered him this morning, but realized that he could've done so at the beginning. "Wait- Don't vampires burn in sunlight? I saw him run past me this morning, t-that can't be possible!" She exclaimed, "Well, maybe this can change your mind," Jaden pulled out his phone, in which there was an open article about supernatural beings. Scrolling past the introduction, Jaden started to quote from the article, "Vampires, despite being known to survive from the blood from their victims will only be killed if they get stabbed in the heart with a stake, a shot by a bullet doused in holy water, decapitation from the neck up (meaning the neck has to be included with the head), and hot sunlight (see section 3)."

"Wait-Wait-Wait, hot sunlight? So the temperature of the sun has to depend on the season?!" Samantha questioned profusely. "Hang on," Said Jaden, who's now clicked on the section and quoted once again, "Though as unbelievable it may be, reasons why vampires have such a cold feeling they bring is because they are undead. Their skin is mostly pale because it's either that they recently got brought back from the dead, or how they're born. They are more often seen in the colder seasons because that's when the sun's heat is at its lowest. Although there are exceptions, a human that has turned into a vampire will experience mild allergic reactions from the sun, but can still die if it's hot enough. Naturally born or undead vampires will need either sunscreen or a moon stone amulet."

Even after all that reading, Samantha can still not believe what she heard, "Wait- how can we be so sure that he's actually a vampire, and not some dude who has health issues?" Penelope was not very happy with her response, "Seriously? This place literally got sued by families whose children died here! And you still won't believe us?!" Samantha jumped off her swing, "THEN SHOW OR TELL ME ACTUAL PROOF THAT THEY'RE REAL VAMPIRES!" she yelled out. Suddenly, a tall dark presence loomed upon the three. They looked up and it's the principal, in which all shaken them, "Is something the matter?" he asked in a serious tone. "N-Nothing," Samantha stutters out, "I... I'm sorry for lashing out like that. It was... rude, and arrogant of me to do that, i-it won't happen again!" Samantha looked down, not wanting to make any eye contact towards him due to his high-authority. "Alright, I see that you're trying to be considerate. But since you're still new, I'll lend you off with a warning," Mr. Romansen explained, "Now I don't want to see anymore trouble from you three, recess ends in five minutes."

He later soon left the three, and they all sigh in relief. "Thanks for almost getting us into trouble Sam," Jaden passive aggressively said. Samantha looked back at the two, giving a guilty expression, "Look, I... I know you guys were being serious, but I just couldn't think that some- sweet math enthusiastic teacher could be some bloodthirsty murderer..." Penelope sighed, "Y'know, the principal is also the same thing, but it's a bit more obvious. He has pale skin, pitch black eyes- in which could be seen as red in the center, and sharp teeth. For Baldi, it's less noticeable. He has green eyes, but can change into a red colour if he's angry enough, and as well as sharp fangs."

Samantha and Jaden both stood up, "Wait... Penny, how do know all this?" Jaden asked. "Well, if only you'd paid attention. You be able to tell," She giggled. "I think we should just keep this between us, right guys?" Samantha suggested, "Also, are we still gonna be friends?" Penelope wraps her arms behind Jaden and Samantha, " Of course! I'd really love to have someone new to play with!". Samantha smiles,"I guess she's back to her old child self, I think I might love it here."
