BEWARE THE FULL MOON
Chapter Five - First Day Of School ... Kinda
It was Monday now, the day I'd officially get to start classes and the day I would most likely end up in the hospital wing because of one said class, I'd spent the whole weekend in the school gym trying to hone the skills that I did have and learn some new ones. Leon had offered to spar with me a few times which slightly helped.
As I got up I glanced at my alarm to see it read twenty past seven. That gave me enough time to get showered, dressed, and down to the mess hall for some breakfast before first class. I walked over to my wardrobe and pulled out a pair of my most comfortable, movable jeans - if I'm gonna get my ass kicked I'm gonna be comfortable - a pair of thick soled converses, a tank top that read '100% innocent' and a plaid purple shirt. Walking over to my dresser I threw out a bra and panties as well as a pair of socks before starting to strip and entering my bathroom. I turned on the shower and went to brush my teeth whilst I waited for it to heat up. By the time I was done there was a bit of steam so I knew it was hot enough. I stepped in and started washing.
It took me about twenty minutes to return from my shower. As I walked over to my bed, holding up the towel, I noticed that my old mp3 player was on the floor. I quickly picked it up and put it to charge. It was a really old mp3 stick that I had gotten when I was younger. It had a couple pictures and videos as well as the song mother would sing to me when I had nightmares and couldn't sleep. After she died I'd started getting night terrors. After father's repeated attempts at trying to stop them by pounding on my door and telling me to shut up, Leon gave me a tape box full of old pictures and videos, telling me to watch them before bed. On one of them was a video of mum singing that song for us whenever we couldn't sleep, or when I had nightmares, so I recorded it and turned it into an audio file that I listened to every night.
I dried my hair with the towel and threw on my clothes for the day before going to my dresser and running a comb through my hair to get out any knots. By the time I went to pick up my phone, timetable, and wallet, my hair was dry curled. The clock read eleven past eight. My first class was history at nine so I had plenty of time to get breakfast in the mess hall and hopefully avoid both Trina's click as well as Jade. As I locked my dorm I heard another door open, looking over my shoulder I saw Cat coming out of her room dressed in a pink multi layered reversible petticoat, a pink vest top, and a pair of ballet pumps. Her velvet red hair was in her normal curls and she had a large rucksack on her back. She looked over at me and smiled, showing her pearly white fangs.
"Morning Tori, ready for your first day of classes?"
"No not really," I said with a nervous smile. Cat was a mystery. Most of the time she was a really sweet friendly vampire with the mind-set of a child but she had moments when she was like - for lack of words - a vampire, slightly cold, harsh, and loves to put people in this mindless trance that I'd slightly experienced on the first day here. I rubbed the back of my neck, "Hey listen, about last week, Friday..." She held a hand up before I could finish.
"Don't worry about it Tori, you didn't really get me anyway, just Jade, Andre, and Beck. Though the only one you need to worry about is Jade." She looked up and down at the clothes I was wearing and then her eyebrows scrunched together. "Is that what you're gonna fight Jade in?" I looked down at my clothes.
"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" I looked back up at her. "And what's in the bag?"
She flung the bag over her shoulder and unzipped it, showing what looked like a bunch of leather pads. "It's my combat suit. I have Gym & Combat 101 after break and I have a feeling coach has something special planned for us." She tilted her head to the side, a cruel smirk playing over her lips. "'Specially for you and Jade. If I were you I'd take your suit with you."
I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't have one yet."
She bent her head to the side again, looking me up and down, this time as if she was analyzing me before shaking her head a few times as if having an agreement with herself. Finally she smiled. "I think I might be able to help. You're going to the mess hall right?" I nodded my head. "Good, see you there." And with that she picked up her rucksack and sped off somewhere before speeding back a second later to tell me to bring a rucksack too and then vanished again. I shook my head at her antics before unlocking my door and picking up my 'Destiny' rucksack off the floor by the door. I quickly locked it before jogging out of our shared house and over to the Aspire. Cat had been talking for twenty minutes which meant I had less time to have breakfast or I would be late to my first class. Entering the Aspire I felt the weird sensation of being sucked through a small cold space before I arrived in front of a door. Opening it, I stepped out onto the ground floor and headed for the huge doors that lead to the fields. I quickly ran down the stone path to the mess hall, letting loose a bit of my Vampwolf speed to help me get there quicker.
It took me seven minutes to get there, and when I did, I saw the place was less crowded than it was at dinner last week. I quickly queued up to get my food, glancing around to get a look at the few students that were here. I heard someone shout 'next' and I quickly placed my order, asking for the meat option when asked and getting a plate full of eggs, beans, a slice of toast, a burger, bacon, a slice of ham, and sausages. I found a table and more or less demolished my plate in about five minutes. Taking out a copy of my schedule I saw that I had History/Mythology first in one of the rooms near the fountain courtyard so I didn't have to worry about getting lost. My second class was Math (which I had no clue where it was) followed by a fifty minute break and then the dreaded gym class. A sudden whiff of cupcakes and death made me look up to see Cat standing in front of me holding a bunch of folded up clothes. She set them on the table before giving me a wink and blurring off to what I'm guessing was class. I picked up the first item in the bunch and unfolded it to see it was a black camo waterproof jacket which was slightly padded. Looking over the pants showed me that they were equally padded. I quickly folded it back up and put it in my bag before heading over to class.
Opening the door I saw that the teacher hadn't arrived and most of the students were either in their seats doing something or in small groups chatting. There were quite a few students already in here and since the clock read eight fifty I'm guessing this was all of them. I walked over to the only empty desk that didn't look taken at the back near a window and sat down. Looking round I saw a few people with text books and wondered where they got them from. Before I could ask, however, the bell rang and the teacher (Mrs. Paddington) walked in. Those who were standing quickly sat down. She wrote 'WWII' before turning and facing the class in her business suit and blonde hair tied back, giving her a strict teacher look. "Today we will be moving on to study the human world war, but before that, Miss Vega, where are you?" I sat up a bit straighter and raised my hand, grabbing her and some of the class's attention. "Ah yes, class this is our new student Victoria. I hope that you will befriend Miss Vega and help her when she needs it." She took a few steps forward. "Now I recall giving you all homework to construct a timeline of a historic human or supernatural being you like. Where is it?" I saw some students rummage through their bags but most started playing with their desks and abruptly the top of the table lifted up to reveal a compartment. Looking at my desk I saw a number dial at the front. Remembering the number code I got with my schedule, I quickly opened it to see a tablet, a few history books, and a blank exercise book. Taking out the tablet I switched it on to see a log in screen. "Miss Vega." I looked up to see Mrs. Paddington standing right in front of my desk with her hand stretched out. I handed over the device and she quickly began tapping away at the screen before handing it back to me. "See me at the end of class please." I nodded and put the tablet down on the desk as she walked over to the front of the classroom. She turned on the projector and started teaching the class.
"So for your homework I asked you to produce a timeline about any historical figure you like." She pressed a button on the remote in her hand and a screen showed up. On it was a picture of Nelson Mandela as well as a timeline detailing his life from when he was a small boy in the village of Mvezo, to his primary years, to his life working as a mine security, then to his days in politics and late life. It looked like it was worked on well and Mrs Paddington began teaching the class about Mr. Mandela. After about twenty minutes she pressed a button to go onto the next student's work, however instead of a timeline, this one seemed to be a huge circle about John Dagger, a 1890 werewolf who lived in Russia and grew up to become a big time World Champion Boxer. Mrs. Paddington looked at the slide before shaking her head and putting her head in her hands. "Mr. Caboose, what is this?" A boy a few desks down stood up.
"Here Mrs. Paddington." The whole class started to giggle. Looking at him he wore a pair of dark denim jeans and a blue sweater with a logo of a bird with its wings spread above its head standing on top of a sphere that had a banner with the letters UNSC going across it. Looking up he had blonde spikey hair and a little blonde goatee to match it. His eyes were sky blue.
"We know you're here dude. What's with the circle?" one of the other students asked.
"It's a time circle," he said whilst sitting down.
"Mr. Caboose, I asked for a timeline," Mrs. Paddington groaned.
"But time is not made out of lines, it is made out of circles. That is why clocks are round." And with that the class burst into a fit of laughter. Some students looked at him in a confused manner where most just shook their heads and continued to laugh. Mrs. Paddington shook her head before changing the slide and trying to get the class back in order again.
I was currently walking around the court yard to the gym for break. History continued without any other incidents and apparently I was already ahead in my math class so it was uneventful. Walking down the hallway my nose was suddenly bombarded with the strong acidic smell of pure garlic. I let out short high pitched whine before running outside to get some fresh air and away from the smell. A bit far off I saw a short, slender, looking vampire with a short black Mohawk laughing on the ground. His pale skin had a slight light tan to it and he was wearing all black clothes. Next to him was a black skinned girl with dark blue hair that was tied back into a puffy bun with a small fringe at the front. She had a tall figure and – I have to admit – a voluptuous body. Taking a tissue out of my back pocket and blowing my nose to try and get rid of the smell I saw her hold out a hand and help the boy off the ground. He quickly dusted off the grass from his jeans before giving her a salute and speeding off. The girl shook her head before heading over towards me.
"Sorry about that. Darius dropped one of my garlic booms in the hall," she explained, before going into her bag and pulling out a glass bottle, handing it to me. "Its lavender. It should get rid of the garlic smell that's irritating your nose." I opened the lid and took a small sniff to make sure it was lavender before taking another long one. The lavender smell quickly overtook the garlic one and I didn't feel like my nose was gonna fall off.
"Thanks," I said, handing her back the vile.
"No problem. Name's Nova," she said, holding out her hand for me to shake.
"Tori." I gave her hand a good shake before letting go.
"Cool, I got'ta get to class. Got drama, what about you?"
"Combat 101." … SHIT! I've got Combat 101! Jade's gonna kill me!
"Oh you're in Alexis' class. Tell her Nova says 'hi' for me." And with that she jogged of towards where willow fields were. Shaking my head I began walking the same way, as the gym hall was in the same direction too.
Getting to the gym hall early, I quickly went into the changing rooms and changed my jeans for the padded training gear Cat gave me earlier and tied the jacket top around my waist before shoving everything else in a locker and locking it. I placed the key in one of the many pockets and walked back out. As I got into the giant hall I could see more students had arrived, all of them wearing the training gear like I did. I walked over to stand near them when the double doors slammed open and in walked a stone golem. Its armor was chipped away in many places and he had a huge crack going down from his shoulder to his hip. He walked to the far end of the hall. Everyone stopped what they were doing and quickly ran to stand in a line with their legs apart and hands together behind their back. I quickly followed suit and the Golem walked over to us, eyes examining everyone here. Finally his eyes landed on me and he gave me a dark grin before speaking to me. And just like, the first day, I knew it was gonna be hell.
"Welcome to Gym Class: Combat 101, Miss Vega. Let's see what all the fuss is about."
