I woke to Stevie-Rae's alarm clock beeping and Stevie-Rae shaking me.
"Come on! Get up. If were late to class it will be my fault and we've already missed breakfast."
"Ok I'm awake." I climbed out of bed and walked over to my side of the closet. I opened the door to find my duffel bag sitting on the floor. Stuck on it was a pink sticky-note in my grandmother's handwriting. It read:
I came to drop this off to you but you were already asleep. Stevie-Rae told me you had a big day. I managed to convince your mother that I sent you to boarding school. It will have to do until she either finds out or school holidays come around. I left your car in the school car park and if you need anything else just call me. Love Grandma.
I smiled as I thought about her. She would be asleep by now. Then I grabbed my school uniform off the coat hanger and put it on. It fitted me perfectly. My uniform was a dark blue colour. All the girls had to wear skirts with navy blue tights. The jumper had the House Of Night emblem on it. The emblem was two hands holding a crescent moon. It was quite intricate. Then I followed Stevie-Rae out of our room and down some more corridors to my first class. Vampyre Sociology.
We walked into a classroom. It was very plain with white walls and boring old desks in rows. I noticed that there wasn't one person who didn't stare at me at some stage. Stevie-Rae dragged me towards two empty seats near the back. Just as we sat down the class went quiet and Neferet walked in. She smiled at me so I smiled back. I had no idea what I was expecting my first class to be like, but I felt better knowing that Neferet would be my teacher.
