Ack! I'm so late with this update! I got grounded. Again. For Fighting. So yeah, sorry.

"Oh, wow. That's great!" I spoke casually. Zoey was nice and all, but still. She was my sister-in-law.

"Okay, so Genevieve, I need to give you something. Here is your schedule. It is, obviously, a list that Zoey and I comprised just for you. Please, revel in it's stupendousness," Professor Maslin handed me a slip of paper. In fine script, it read:

-First Period...........Equestrian Studies/Lenobia
-Second Period.......Vampyre Sociology (3rd Former)/Z. Night
-Third Period..........Spells and Rituals/Anastasia
-Fourth Period........Fencing/Lankford
-Fifth Period...........Drama/E. Night
-Sixth Period..........Literature/Maslin
-Seventh Period......History/Penthesilia

"So, do I need to be going to class now or what?" I knew the House of Night had strange hours and it was coming up on six o'clock.

"No, today is you can just relax and get settled in. Didn't Michelle tell you?"

"No...We were busy...discussing other things."

"Oh. I see." I heard a quiet tingcome from Professor Maslin's pocket. He took out a shiny, black cell phone. "Well, I would love to stay and chat, but my boyfriend needs some help with something." Boyfriend? Now, I understood Zoey's fit earlier.

"Okay, tell him I say 'Hi' then." I walked out of the classroom and into the cold evening air. "Damn, I need a thicker jacket." I whispered to no one in particular. Just as I said it, some set a large brown coat on my shoulders. It smelled like cologne. Not the cheap kind either, but the good stuff.

"You're welcome," I turned around to see Cohl smiling, but with an impatient look in his eye.

"Oh, my bad. Thank you, O gracious jacket man!" His smile grew wider. Then my not-so-funny side took over. "Wait, shouldn't you be in class right now?"

He shrugged. "What the vamps don't know won't hurt them."

"Can't they read minds or something?"

"Yep. And -coughcough- I'm sick!" Cohl laughed and crossed his fingers.

"Oh, you poor baby! Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?" I joined in.

"Well, I do need someone to hang out with today," He bowed down and took my hand. "Genevieve Night, will you accompany me as I play hooky?" His lips softly brushed the back of my palm.

"Why, of course!" Cohl smiled up at me and flipped his long, brown hair out of his eyes.

Crap! Short update. Again. I'm sorry. And, yeah, I couldn't resist having Cohl do a hair-flip. Anyway, review please!
