The Substitute

Chapter 4: Detention

"So, you think I'm a vampire, huh?" hissed Ms. Vang.

"Well...yeah!" Dib replied. "I mean, your name is a pun that pretty much gives it away,"

"Very well then. How do you come to this conclusion?"

"Well," He stood up from his desk and to the chalkboard. You know, sort of like pacing for a bit, and then he got to the board. "You see, vampires have a lot of obvious details," He scribbled something quickly. "One; they are usually very, very pale. Almost like a ghost," He pointed at her with the chalk, "You are a little too pale for a normal person,"

"Me?" she pointed to herself with a surpised look. "I just wear a lot of powder!"

"Ok, maybe you have an explanation for that one, but how about this? Vampires always wear high colars or tutle necks to hide their," He walked up to her and pulled her turtle neck down, revealing two small cuts, "BITE MARKS!"

"I was bitten-"

"Ah ha!" he said triumphantly.

"-By a couple of mesquitos. I kept scratching, and it ended up as a couple of cuts. Is it so wrong to want to cover that?"

"Oh..." he sighed, disapointed at how he was wrong...again. "Well, I guess thats ok. But what about those?" he pointed to her lips.

"My lips?"

"No! Your fangs!"

"What? These aren't fangs! These are my canine teeth. I have an orthadontal problem. In fact, I have an appointment next week about it,"

"I guess your right..." he looked down again, slumping his shoulders.

Maybe she isn't one, he thought. Geez, the floor is shiny... I can see myself... wait a minute!

"YOU DON'T HAVE A REFLECTION!" He screamed hystarically.

"Don't you think if I were out in daylight that I can't be a vampire?"

"This explains why you know so much about blood!" Dib thought out loud, not paying attention to Ms. Vang.

"Listen, Div," she stepped toward him and grabbed his DISGUSTINGLY large head to make sure he listened. "How could have I been out in the day light if I were like Mr. Dracula?"

"What are you talking about? Today was exremely cloudy! Practically NO light, just bearly enough to see!" Thunder started to clasp. The pair turned their heads to the window as water began to fall. Lightning flashed, violently.

Everything was silent for about 30 seconds. Then, the power went out. Ms. Vang let go of Dib's head in the darkness, and walked away from him.

"You are a very smart boy, Div," echoed her voice. Dib raised his unvisible eyebrow at this. All of a sudden, three bright red lights appeared. The constillation formed an upside-down triangle, and the bottom light was slightly brighter than the other two.

"Wha?"

Lightning exploded again and the power was back on again. There she stood, in front of him. She looked slightly different, though. She was now even paler than before, with her eyes outlined more to contrast. Her fangs were slightly longer and lips looked completely black, but shined maroon. Her outfit was slightly more exagdrent, too. Her dress now spookily floated at the bottom and sleeves. They also were, not neccisarily spikey, but like ripped up,(think Halloweenie Prof Membrane's coat) and those parts were sort of high lighted with red that matches her hair. She also now has a cape with a very hight colar that almost went over her ears. The most drastic differnce, however, were her eyes and brooch. They were now glowing, and were the shining figures in the dark.

"You..." he looked over her again "You ARE a vampire!"

"Yes, It seems that you are the only intelligent blood bag in this class,"

"Wait... Why are you a teacher?"

"I needed money...This was the only job left,"

"Oh," he cocked a brow down. He shortly glanced at the clock and said, "Well, looks like my detention time is up! See ya!" he ran nimbly to the door, but was quickly haulted by Ms. Vang.

"Not at all, Mr. Div. Your time is just begining..." her eyes narrowed on him.
