No idea where this chapters heading so please bear with me. Enjoy!

Ra groaned. The day was over, and he was buried in books. He had to study. The tests were tomorrow, and he couldn't afford to fail them. The mummy struggled over to the library, opening the door with his foot. Many other students were in there studying as well. Ra quickly spotted Casper and Mantha, luckily, and hurried over to them.

" Hey guys. "

Casper looked up and smiled at the mummy.

" Hey Ra. "

The three remained quiet for a bit, trying to study, until they heard a loud thump. Immediately they looked towards the sound, to see Fatch buried in books, a dodge ball not to far away. They instantly knew what had happened; Thatch had thrown a dodge ball at his head. The three looked at each other for a moment before racing over to help him. Casper and Ra grabbed each arm and helped him to his feet.

" You ok? "

Fatch nodded in response. He then turned to the other vampire and sneered as he laughed.

" Real mature Thatch. "

He huffed.

" With that kind of study attitude, you're definitely gonna fail the tests. "

This immediately got Thatch to shut up. He stared at the other in shock as he began to walk away.

Thatch growled and rubbed the top of his head. It was still sore from last night.

' Stupid vampire hits to hard. '

He thought bitterly. Fatch was seriously beginning to get on his last nerves. Not only was he obviously stronger than him, but he was also giving him a run for his money. It was more than clear that he could run the show if he wanted to. But he didn't. And that was what confused the vampire. If he was so powerful, then why wasn't he taking full advantage of it? Everyone would listen to him. Especially since he always seemed to find a way to mouth off people who were so feared in the school.

Thatch growled and got up from his table, turning to head out.

" Thatch! "

The gray one turned to Dummygirl, who looked at him like he was crazy.

" Where are you going? Testing is tomorrow you know. "

" Yeah, yeah. "

Thatch huffed. Seriously, Dummygirl was queen nag sometimes. It was rather annoying in cases like this. Right now, he needed to get out of the packed and very unbreathable library.

~Later~

Thatch grinned at his comic book. He was feeling very confident for the tests tomorrow, and needed to relax a little. Stress was the ultimate test killer. The trick was to remain calm and collected. Just then, Dummygirl came in looking shocked. Normally Thatch would just dismiss this, but then found that the girl was limping. He immediately turned and saw that her ankle was tightly wrapped in a bandage.

" What happened to you? "

DG just looked at him briefly before lunging forward and grabbing his upper arms, shocking the vampire further.

" You won't believe it! Fatch just helped me get to the nurse! "

" Wait-what?! "

Thatch yelped; he was so confused. Dummygirl calmed down and began to tell her story.

Dummygirl was racing though the halls. She had to be the first in the washroom today so she could get ready for bed. If she wasn't the first on there, then the stupid skeleton girls would take an hour in there like they usually did.

Suddenly the poor girl tripped and landed painfully hard on the stone floor. The child groaned, trying to get back up, only to feel a deep pain in her ankle that made her stop and just rest against the cold floor. It was obvious she had twisted her ankle. And she was upstairs. She needed to see the nurse, who was downstairs. There was literally nothing she could do.

Just then she felt something ICE cold pick her up, and place her on what seemed like an arm. She turned a bit and saw Fatch, who had her well placed on his arm. The creature girl would've blushed if she could.

" I-I don't need help! "

Fatch merely narrowed his eyes.

" Would you rather me leave you here? "

Immediately the girls eyes widened in fear.

" N-no! I-I'm good! "

The vampire nodded, now headed down the stairs. The girl had to look away to keep from getting too "fluttery".

" I-I can get down to the nurse by my self. "

She said softly, not trying to look too weak in front of the new guy. Said vampire snorted.

" Yeah, of course you can. But how about you just pipe down and let me help you, eh? "

... oh wow... this vampire was actually pretty awesome.

Thatch growled and slammed his book shut as DG finished her story. It was as if Fatch was TRYING to be better than him! Had he managed to win over Dummygirl?! Well, that was it. If Fatch wanted a fight, then he'd give him a WAR!

Thatch had DG leave and then got ready for bed as everyone else was beginning to head to bed as well. As Thatch went to lay down, he noticed the other vampire writing down something in a book. He stayed silent, waiting for the other to put it down and fall asleep. After about a half an hour, the other finally fell asleep. Thatch grinned and crept over, quietly taking a peak into the book. It was clear it was some kind of journal, as it had dates all over it. Flipping to the final written page, what he read, just gave him chills. With a shiver, the creature closed the book and immediately ran into his coffin, the words continuing to echo in his head.

So I helped the Dummygirl today. She twisted her ankle, and I brought her to the nurse. She seems ok... so do her friends. Except that Thatch guy. He's a complete D-bag. I hate people like him. It's like their only purpose in life is to destroy another persons life. But I'm gonna change that. I'll make sure he doesn't hurt anyone else. Not while I'm around. Especially if he tries to mess with me. If he so much as throws an insult at me, I will rip his fangs out and implant them in his skull. Well... I guess I should end with my practice poems. Lexi once said that poems can get ones feelings out better than flat out writing. Maybe I should write one about Thatch one of these days... maybe with ripping out his fangs! THAT would be fun. Well... here's the poem, I guess...

Days go by

And they continue with their lies

But they'll never see

The true pain behind my eyes
