Chapter 4
"Mellina Tod, you are going to be late for your first day of school if you don't get up right now!" my mom yelled at me from the bottom of the stairs. I growled and rolled out of bed. I opened the drawer next to my bed and put on the first shirt I touched, which happened to be a Paramore shirt. I slipped on some black skinny jeans and went to the bathroom to slap on some black eyeliner and red lipstick. I straightened my long, black hair and ran downstairs.
I gulped down a blood bag from the fridge, grabbed my backpack, and ran outside in the direction of Bathory High. My older brother Felix usually drives me to school, but he must have gotten tired of waiting for me. What a nice brother.
I made it to school just in time for the first bell. I walked into my first class: mythology. My dad happens to be the teacher, you'd think having your dad as a teacher would be embarrassing, but Felix said he makes it a really fun class.
My best friend Mara waved at me from one of the desks in the back row. I smiled at her and took the seat next to her.
"Late as usual, I see." She said, dressed in a black dress and her blue hair straightened.
"I guess I hit the snooze button a little too hard this time. It never went off again." She snickered at me. She turned her head to the door, where everyone was looking towards the door.
Violet McMillan came waltzing into the classroom with her high heels clicking on the floor. She was the Pretty in Pink queen and my brothers' girlfriend whom I hated with a passion. She is Joss and Meredith's daughter. She is a senior like Felix, two years older than me. But mythology class is for grades 10-12. So that gives me the joy of having her in my class. What Felix sees in this girl is beyond me, she doesn't even know that we're vampires. She always wore pink and curled her chocolate-brown hair into abnormally, tight ringlets. For makeup, it looked like she only wore mascara and pink, sticky stuff on her lips.
We never really got along. Our parents our friends, and they wanted us to be friends too. But there's no way in hell I could stand more than a few minutes with Miss Barbie. I mean her alone isn't so bad, but the plastic girls she hangs out with drive me insane. They are ten times worse than her in my opinion. Violet usually just leaves my friends and me alone, but her clique can't keep their mouths shut about us.
"Attention class. My name is Mr. Tod and I will be your mythology teacher." Dad said after everyone settled in.
The rest of the day passes quickly, thankfully. Felix and I went home for lunch to drink a couple of blood bags. By the end of the day, I walked out to the school parking lot and looked for Felix's black car. I spotted him and Damian, his best friend leaning against it. Damian is Henry and October's son, the same age as Felix. He actually does know about our little vampire family because he's been friends with Felix since birth. I hate to say it, but he's good-looking. He has Henry's dirty-blond hair and October's brown eyes.
"Wow, are you actually going to give me a ride?" I asked Felix sarcastically. He rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, now get in before I change my mind."
"Violet's not coming?" I asked hopefully, hopping into the back seat.
"She has her own car now. But don't worry; she'll be over tonight." He winked at me, knowing of my hatred for her.
"Hey Mel, maybe we can both talk about how much we hate Violet tonight while playing video games because someone canceled on me." Damian said, punching Felix in the shoulder causing him to swerve the car a little. He glared back. Damian doesn't actually hate Violet, but he hates it when Felix chooses his cousin over him.
I smiled back at him, "Sounds good." I was secretly overjoyed for our little "date" tonight.n
