Imperfection Well-Regulated
Chapter 1
Maggie Neely
I didn't really know how to feel right now. I mean… this is my last year here, should I be happy? Sad? Excited?
Why do I even care how I feel right now? I should care about the fact that I need to find someone that could keep me company as I pathetically walked around this school. I looked like such a loser, people were starting to stare and giggle every time I passed. Was I this early?
It's the first day back of my last year here. Yup, I'm currently a senior assisting Clearwater Private Secondary School. Ill let you in on a secret though, we aren't really a private school. The schools board just decided to add the 'private' part because of all the rich kids in this school. In all honesty we are just a normal school.
And I'm just a normal girl walking around like an idiot! How hard is it to find someone? At least someone I know.
Again I ask, was I really that early? I left home at seven forty-five, Miles drove pretty fast so we got here around seven fifty-five, and I've probably been walking for about five minutes. So it should be eight. The bell rings at eight fifteen, so people should be here!
Or maybe they were here, just not here. I have been walking around the first floor only… so maybe they are in the second? Or Third? Or they could be- fuck.
The assembly! I mentally slapped myself as I turned around and started making my way towards the cafeteria. I cant believe I forgot… again.
Eric Ross
"I think she forgot" David said as he shook his head "Again"
Just like every year for the first day back to school, our school has an assembly to explain the expectations the school has for us. And just like every year Maggie forgets.
"Maybe she is just late" Hannah pointed out looking around once again.
"Miles is here" I said as I pointed towards his direction. "Maggie told me she would be getting a ride from him for the first month, until she got her car"
"So she forgot" David concluded before taking out his phone "Ill text her"
"No, don't bother" Mary-Lynnette spoke getting up from her seat "I'll go look for her. She is probably walking around the first floor" David once again shook his head as Mary-Lynnette smiled before leaving.
"I hope they make it on time" Hannah stated because she knew that if they were late, they would have to end up walking in front of the whole school to get to their spots.
"Speaking of making it on time… Look who made it on time!" David exclaimed as he saw a tiny figure making her way towards them. "Poppy!" David yelled causing Poppy to put her head down in embarrassment.
On her way Poppy quickly found an empty chair and dragged it right next to us- still with her head down- before saying, "very funny David, and stop yelling, people are staring"
"Who cares! Its our last year here! We are seniors, no freshman can do shit to me. If I want to yell. Ill yell"
"Oh boy, you sound like those stupid bullies" Hannah complained.
"Don't worry, I'm no Redfern"
"Hey!" Poppy was the one to yell this time before hitting David in the head "The Redfern's are not bullies! At least not all of them."
"Are we talking about the same people?" I asked with my disbelief expression.
"Drop the discussion guys. I'm not starting this school year talking about them" Hannah protested as she stretched her arms and we all silently agreed to let the topic go.
"So where is Mary-Lynnette and Maggie?" Poppy asked as she looked around the cafeteria.
"Mare went looking for Maggie. She forgot again"
"Oh wow. No wonder, because I saw Miles near the door" Poppy said gesturing towards Miles direction "Wait. Isn't he suppose to have graduated last year?"
"He did, he is a returning grad. He came back to take the Co-op program" Hannah explained seeing how she was the only one that seemed to know about the topic.
"Are you serious? Phil is doing that too. He is here in school today" (A.N: Phil is one year older then Poppy in this fanfic. He is not his twin) Poppy shook her head "It's so stupid, why would you want to come back to school after you have graduated?" Poppy asked making a lot of hand gestures.
"Beats me. I know I wouldn't do that- When is this assembly starting?" David asked as he was already falling asleep.
I wasn't really paying attention to this whole conversation- I was actually also falling asleep and so was Hannah, so Poppy was the one to pull out her phone to check the time. She was about to answer David's question but was interrupted as two hands appeared on her face covering her eyes.
"Guess who?" Asked the only kid I could stand apart from David.
"Really James? How hard do you think it is to figure out its you" David said in a joking matter, but either way James got annoyed and shot him a death glare.
"Your no fun David, just dig a whole and die" James Rasmussen said as he took his hands away from Poppy's face and gave her a small hug.
"James, you shouldn't say those kinds of things. Its rude" Poppy complained as she ended the hug.
James ignored her before grabbing a chair and sitting down next to David "What I miss?"
"Same old" Hannah answered fixing her hair "I thought you were ditching us today" she added.
"Please, James loves me, why would he ditch us?" Poppy asked.
"For his girlfriend maybe?" I asked making a stupid grin.
"They broke up" Poppy returned a stupid grin.
"Why? She was hot!" David exclaimed earning himself a punch from Hannah.
"A girl doesn't have to be hot for James to date her" Hannah spoke with her annoying know-it-all tone.
"Yeah, but when you have a girl with double-"
"Shut it you pig!" Poppy yelled hitting David.
"I love how I just keep getting hit"
Morgead Blackthorn
I tried.
I tried going to the cafeteria, finding a seat, and sitting down so I could wait for the assembly to start. I honestly did that. But as soon as I sat down, like every other year, girls started sitting around. But not just any type of girls. Human girls.
Since I started going to this school -which would be last year- I have been getting a lot of attention from the females in this school.
At first it was fun. I mean, who doesn't like attention? Also, Jez would get really annoyed because they would try being friends with her just to get close to me, seeing how everyone though me and her were best friends or something.
But as the year passed it got annoying. They would start sending me gifts, they would stalk me and even ask me out numerous times- and you can only guess how bad it got once they found out I had a motorcycle- I was the school's badass- well the hot and attractive badass.
Human girls tend to like badass'. So that's probably why I'm so popular. I may sound cocky but its true.
This year I was actually hopping the attention I got faded a little. I knew a couple of Night People that were transferring. So I figured girls would just get tired of me.
But apparently that didn't happen, so that's why right now I'm walking to- nowhere in particular. I'm actually just trying to get away. I guess ill be missing the assembly- Jez will kill me.
Right now, I just pushed Jez out of my mind, no way I would be changing my mind on skipping the assembly because she might kill me. The bell is about to ring, so I decided to use a little of my vampire speed. I better get out of here before a teacher catches me and send me to the cafeteria. I guess leaving the school sounds like a good idea… but I actually want to go to all my classes. So I wont be skipping today.
Maybe Ill just hide in the roof of the school. That's probably the only good thing this school has- believe it or not.
You see, the school roof is flat and very high. Last year I discovered the stairs to get there. Since then, its always been my 'chillin' spot. Its nicely build too, and a huge advantage is that no one ever goes up there. So its impossible to find me. You could probably guess where I would spend my time while I skipped classes.
I passed by the numerous students that were heading towards the cafeteria and quickly made my way to the roof, and as I approached the stairs that were located in the third floor (I can use my vampire speed when ever the hell I want). When I got there I sighed as I was able to notice a blue spark coming from the other side of the door that was separating me and my favourite spot.
Looks like its not my secret place anymore.
Rashel Jordan
As I found a seat near the back of the cafeteria, I made a mental note of killing myself.
Why Rashel. Why are you here? I asked myself as I mentally hit my head.
I cant believe I actually agreed to this! it's the stupidest thing I have ever done. Not that I have done that many stupid things. Actually… the only stupid thing I ever recall doing was when I tried learning how to stake a vampire with high heels- trust me when I say, it was not my idea.
But what I was doing today, was my idea. That's why I feel like a complete idiot. How in the right mind did I think this was smart the day I took the acceptance test. Also… how the hell did I pass?
Doesn't matter now Rashel, you made it, stick with the plan. My mind kept telling me that, but my whole body was screaming leave, this is stupid.
This time, I decided following my minds direction, but mostly because my heart was agreeing. I had to stick with the plan, I had to do this, I had to do this for my mom and Timmy.
I don't care if there was no possible way their killer would be here- for what I remember, he is too old for high school. But maybe some of his relatives are here- and if not, I know for a fact there would be night people, so either way I would be doing the world a favour.
All I had to do was assist this school and like any other teenager girl I would have to make friends, complain about school, get all excited about boys, act natural, try to fit in and find every night person (Well not every teenager does the last part). So that at the end of the school year, we can finish them all. Me and my team.
Because that's what I do. After all, I am a vampire hunter.
Ash Redfern
I sighed for what seemed to be the 8th time as another girl passed by yelling hi to me. Did they have to yell? Didn't they know I am more then capable of hearing them even if they simply whisper?
"They yell because you always look like your falling asleep" Quinn -who was sitting next to me- answered my mental question clearly stating he was reading my mind.
Get out. I thought annoyed, knowing he would be listening.
"It's not my fault you're a weak telepath"
You know, people are going to think your talking to yourself.
"Let them, maybe they will think I'm crazy and leave me alone" This time Quinn spoke those words a little too loud, definitely getting some attention. In a matter of seconds people all around us were whispering to each other- well more like gossiping.
"Can you guys even live without some sort of attention?" My most annoying sister asked- after appearing out of nowhere- and sitting next to Quinn.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as I stretched my long arms.
"Rowan is with the other returning grad losers and Jade is sitting at the front with her other junior friends. I cant find Jez and Blaise is still in the office with Thea, they are finishing the paper work, I doubt they will make it to the assembly" Krestel sighed "So my last option is sitting with you loners"
"I thought you were just here because you missed my good looks"
"Get a life John" Quinn simply hissed knowing he wouldn't be able to do anything against Krestel at the moment with all the humans around. But I'm sure he made a mental note.
The three of us stayed silent for a while until the bell finally rang. "Yay, the assembly is going to start" I said lacking enthusiasm.
"Great, wake me up when its over" Quinn said before putting on his headphones, blasting his music and closing his eyes.
"You heard him Krestel" I said pulling out my ipod "wake me up when its over" and just like Quinn a placed my headphones tightly on my ear before closing my eyes- but I definitely heard Krestel murmur the word 'whatever'.
Thierry Descouedres
I knew we were running late- but I never expected to actually be late.
"I'm sorry Keller. This was all my fault" I apologised as I stopped on another red light, we were ten minutes away from the school- If they stopped giving me red lights we would already be there.
"Lord Thierry don't even let it bother you" Keller responded with her usual formality.
"Remember to leave out the 'lord' part in school" I reminded her wishing she didn't call me that at all.
"It's a sign of respect sir" She said probably guessing what I was thinking.
"I have respect for you, yet you don't let me call you Lady Raksha" I shot back.
"Because its irrelevant" she said getting annoyed so I let the topic go.
"Sir, I don't really understand why we are coming back this year" I knew she would end up asking this question so I was actually prepared with an answer.
"We are coming back because I think both you and I deserve to live a little"
Keller gave me a look that clearly showed she thought I was crazy. "Are you pulling out a joke sir?" she asked in complete disbelief.
"No" I stretched the 'o' as I said that.
"Sweet goddess" she murmured hitting her head.
"You get to graduate, aren't you excited?" I asked as I mentally laughed.
"Please tell me your joking" she exclaimed almost jumping out of her seat.
"Why would I be joking"
"Yup, your joking" Keller nodded to herself as she decided to ignore me. I just simply laughed before cursing.
"Did you just pass a red light?"
Thats its :)
Sorry if there are any spelling mistakes.
So what did you think? I would love to read some reviews :)

Hope you enjoyed and Thank you for reading.
