Heyyy. Chapter two. Yayyyy! Great news! I finally read the last book of this series. Finally! It. Was. Amazing! Like, *SPOILERS*, I freaked out when I thought Snow died. My heart started shrinking. I was surprised that Vlad's dad was kind of the bad guy but not exactly at the same time. I mean, he was doing what he thought was right. Didn't end up so good for him, right. So, Vlad doesn't put Joss in the hospital...again. On to the chapter now;)
Chapter 2
"Okay, let's see...first period is...health?!" The last thing I wanted was to lose my appetite. I rolled my eyes and shook my head. I grabbed my textbooks and notebooks from my backpack , and put everything else in my locker. Then I noticed something in my backpack. A note. It was from Mom:
Hi sweetie. I hope you have a nice first day of school! I forgot to tell you that Valerie had hidden you clothes in my room. Which is obviously the last place you'll look. Anyway, I managed to put in an outfit in your bookbag for you to change in. I know you absolutely hate whatever Val picks out for you. It's really not your best style. Good luck today!
— Mom
I looked inside my backpack to find the clothes she spoke, or wrote, of. "Yesssss," I silently whispered.
"Hey, Raven. You ready to go to class?" Vladimir asked from behind me.
"Yeah. I just need to go to the bathroom first."
"Okay. You know where it is right?"
I nodded. "I saw it on the way to my locker.
"Okay. But hurry. Late bell rings in seven minutes," he said, then turned around and walked over to a boy that was talking to a girl in pink. I could see Vladimir hesitate and blush as he approached. It was adorable.
Anyway, I made my way to the bathroom and got redressed. I put on a black shirt that had one of my favorite bands on it: PVRIS (pronounced as paris). Then I put on my favorite dark gray skinny jeans, my black hoodie, and a gray beanie hat on my head. I also put on one of those black lace, half armlength glove things. I walked out of the bathroom stall and looked at my self in the long, bathroom mirror. This outfit definetly matched dark, thick lined eyes and my dark lips. I felt like my self again.
I walked out and looked for Vladimir. "Hey. You're Raven, right." I looked up to see a boy with light hair.
"Yeah. That's me. Who are you?"
"I knew it. I'm Henry, by the way. Vlad was looking for you. You were gone longer than he'd expected you to be."
"I got a bit lost. That's all.'' I looked behind him and saw Vladimir come our way. I smiled and he smiled back. Henry turned around to see his friend.
"Hey, man. I found her for you. Though she doesn't look exactly the way you described her,'' Henry said.
Vladimir shook his head. "Don't worry , Henry. It's her.''
Henry checked his watch. His eyes widened. "Three minutes 'till the bell guys! See you at lunch.'' Then he darted down the hall towards his first period.
Vladimir looked at me. "I hope you're a fast runner. Follow me.'' We both dashed to our first class. Made it in just as the bell rang.
"Mr. Tod, Ms. Foster, glad you both could join us. Please take a seat.''Andso we did. I sat on the end of the back row, closest to the door. Vladimir took the middle seat in the second to last row. "Okay, class. Our first unit of health will be..." I got out my special notebook and started writing in Elysian code. Luckily the lights were off as the teacher showed images of unnecissary things to show on a blank screen and a projector. He was talking about g-g-golands and other g-g-g-gross things. This is why it's important to bring a ''special''notebook to class and sit in the back row people! I sighed and -started to write:

(-|-)(-\)(|||)(|||)(|)(\/)(-)(-)(|\|)(-\)(/)(|-)(|||)
(-|)(\/)(|||)
I sat back in my chair and smiled. I did good. It was only my fourth time using Elysian code. It was fun, in a way. But it was pretty difficult to remember.
The school day seemed to go on forever! Geometry wasn't very fun. English wasn't either. I was actually happy that lunch seemed be longer.
"Hey, Raven! Why don't you sit with us?!" I looked to the left to see Henry waving for me to come over.
I walked over and took a seat across from him. "Where's Vladimir?"
"Our teacher had to hold him back. He got sent to the office. Some kid named Joss bothered him and they got into a weird argument about a pencil,'' I replied.
"Oh,'' he said bitterly,''that's my cousin."
"Oh. Well, sorry. He got detention. I don't know about Vladimir, though.
"No. Joss deserves detention.'' I gave him a confused look. "He's been a really bad jerk lately.'' I nodded.
Henry looked over my shoulder. "There's Vlad right now.'' I turned around to see Vladimir. He looked pretty pissed off. Hepulled a hair back harshly and sat down next to Henry.
"Your cousin sure takeshis job seriously,'' he said sarcastically. "He poked me with a pencil, which of couse scared me since he had staked me- ow!Dude!" Henry cocked his head towards me. Vladimir, noticing mefor the firsttime since he got there, said, "Oh, heyyy Raven. Didn't see you there. We were talking about this video game. I was the vampire and Joss was the vampire killer. Hehe. How's your day so far?"
"It's okay, I guess. Like any school day, pretty much. Except a school day in Bathory high. It's different here. I really don't like the principal.''
"I don't think anyone does. So help them if they do.'' Vlad smirked.
"Anyway, what's the deal with you and Principal Snelgrove? I've noticed he's not very fond of you."
"Well, you see, in the sixth grade I was , and still, picked on. One day, the bullies pushed me pretty hard, I had accidentally bumped into one of the teachers, she fell on the floor, and broke her nose. Ever since then, Snelgrove has never liked me. He sees me as a...trouble maker, I guess you could say." He gave a dramatic sigh. Henry and I did, too. We shook our heads and I put my hand over my heart.
"Pity," I said in a terrible British accent.
Henry laughed. "Hey, how about we get to know you and you get to know us?"
I nodded in agreement. "Sounds good."
Vladimir gave a small smile. "Sure. Okayyyyy, sooo...what things are you good at?"
"I'm good at...ice skating, and playing video games. Though I'm not very good at drawing, dancing, and driving. I've tried it before. I did get my license, but have been pulled over 3 times two months ago.I'm also bad at cooking, waking up early and being on time to class." I pulled out my lunch box. I had a peanut butter and strawberry jelly/blood sandwich, a double chocolate brownie, and my bottle filled with O positive. "What about you two?"
Vladimir stared at my food in shock. "What? Have you never seen a brownie before?" I joked.
"No- I mean yes. Ahem, sorry. Where were we?" He laughed nervously "Um, I am not that great at many things. Umm, I'm good at being avoided by most people. But I really suck at gym, video games, math, being on time to class, and standing up to bullies."
It was Henry's turn. "I'm amazing at getting a kiss from almost every girl in school," he wiggled his eyebrows and winked. I stuck out my tongue and flicked a piece of my brownie at him. It his his face and he caught it in his mouth. "I'm terrible at not geting a kiss from most girls."
I rolled my eyes. "Okay. Favorite color?"
"Well, for me it's two. Black and red," Vladimir replied.
"Lime green," Henry said.
"Mine are blue and silver," I said. After that we talked about a few more stuff. As I was talking to Henry about video games, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Vladimir take a bite of my sandwich. "Vladimir! Don't!" But it was too late.
He chewed. He raised his eyebrows. "AB negative. Good." He leaned in and whispered as he said it.
I opened mouth to say something, then snapped it shut. I sighed. "How did you-"
"I smelled it. Why are you here, Raven?" His state was cold. He obviously didn't trust me anymore.
Henry raised a finger. " Ummm, guys, I'm totally confused. What's going on. One minute you guys are okay, then Vlad is being...weird."
"She's a vampire Henry."
"Half vampire, actually," I corrected.
Henry and Vladimir looked at each other. "You mean, you could be the-"
"Pravus? I don't think so. The Pravus has to be born from a human, my mother was a vampire. My father was human. Also, the prophecy states that the Pravus is a 'he' if you've heard it before. Also, he is capable of ruling over the vampires and enslaving the human race, or something like that."
"Then, what exactly are you capable of?"
Dun dun DUN! I really hope you guys are liking it so far. I really really want to thank those of you who either reviewed, favorited, followed, or all three of these. It means soooo much to me! Love you guys! Until next time!;)
