Two-Bits was watching the back of that blonde head in English class. Selina Black was her name, an almost impossibly pretty girl who seemed to have Veela powers or something, because she was crazily attractive to the boys. Two-Bits tilted her head to the left, so she could see Selina's profile. She supposed she was quite pretty, but Two-Bits couldn't help feeling that there was something sinister in that ruby red smile.
Sighing, Two-Bits turned her focus back to the teacher at the front of the class. Mr. Denton was his name, and he was one of those people who just irritate you for no reason other than their existance. Two-Bits found herself glaring at him, but Denton didn't seem to notice. He continued teaching. As he was writing out a demonstrative sentence on how to cite in your papers, Two-Bits' hand shot up like a rocket.
"Yes, Miss..." Denton paused to check his roster. "Miss Wilkins?" Two-Bits nodded toward the blackboard.
"That's wrong."
There was a pause as the entire class went silent. Those who had been whispering to each other, or passing notes turned to look at Denton, who was staring at Two-Bits.
"Excuse me?" he said, finally finding his voice. Again, Two-Bits motioned toward the blackboard.
"That's wrong," she repeated. "The period goes outside the parenthesis, not inside the quote." Denton turned around to examine his board. Sure enough, he had placed the period inside the quote.He frowned.
"No, that's right," he said, turning back to her. She shook her head.
"It's not. It's in the MLA Handbook," she said, pulling out a ringed book with the title 'MLA Handbook' on the front. She flipped to a section with the air of one who had studied this book often and approached the front of the class. She proferred the book. "It's right here. 'When sighting a quote, no punctuation should be used inside the quote unless it is a question mark. The period should go on the outside of the closing parenthesis.'" Denton took the book and stared at it for a few minutes before handing it back to her.
"Well class, it looks like I've been shown up," he said with a forced smile. Satisfied, Two-Bits returned to her seat. As she passed Selina, Selina flashed her a smile, baring severely pointed canine teeth. Two-Bits sat down in her seat with shock as realization hit her. She knew what was wrong with Selina.
Selina was a vampyre.
