I received a comment saying that the different POV's were annoying, so... I guess it'll be a certain POV in every chapter from now on.

And no offense to any of you, critical reviews are to be expected for stories, and I know that, and some of you are much better writers than me, but I just want you to know, I just started middle school, letting you know that I'm probably a lot younger than you guys thought and also that I'm still learning. My stories may not be that good, but I try.

I write my stories for fun; of course right now they aren't going to be perfect.

That's all I wanted to say. :) On with the story~

Shy's POV

My alarm went off the next morning, and I sat up quickly, suddenly remembering what had happened yesterday.

I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair before throwing the covers off of me.

Ugh.. morning already? I don't even want to go to school...

I smiled.

But, Lucine, we get to see Leigh and Rosalya... And hopefully make friends with Castiel..

Oh, that hot-head? Be careful around him, alright?

I took off my shirt and set it aside.

Why do you say that?

It was quiet for a minute.

I'm not really sure, Shy.. It's just.. I've noticed that the vampires at the high school seem really... off...

Off? I put my shirt on and buttoned it, then threw on my uniform jacket.

It's as if... something weird is making them even worse at controlling themselves..

Worse? Lucine, it's just me, isn't it? The mixture of me being a human and a-

No... I guess I was the only one that noticed that both Rosalya and Castiel's eyes were dark with something... as if they would kill you just to get a little drop of... our blood.

But..

JUST BE CAREFUL, idiot, it's my body, too.

I pulled on my skirt and tights, then slipped my feet into my flats.

Grabbing my back pack, I ran over to my mirror and put a hairclip in my hair before running out of my room.

"Morning, mom." I walked over to her and kissed her on her on her cheek before sitting down to eat my breakfast.

"Hope you like your breakfast, sweetie.. I'll remember to leave out the garlic in the rest of our meals.."

I smiled and started working on my food.

Seconds! I'm starving!

Lucine, this is usually how I... we eat..

Exactly! Now that you and I can talk to each other on things, I want you to know that you've been starving me! Get some more of that toast, would ya?

I stood up to make my self another plate of everything.

But when I was done eating, Lucine just asked for more.

So I got thirds, after arguing with her.

"Waaah, Shy you've been eating a lot... are you going through a growth spurt or something?" My mother walked over to give me another serving of bacon.

Yeah, yeah, whatever, mom, just give me some food...

Lucine, that's rude..

I sighed and stuck a piece of bacon in my mouth.

I chewed slowly, already full.

Are you still hungry? I pushed my plate aside after fourths and leaned back in my chair.

I'm getting there...

Later..

I jogged a little to burn off my breakfast, but my school was kind of far, so I was panting when I finally arrived.

Leigh and Rosalya were talking in front of the school – well, mostly Rosalya, Leigh was leaning against the door and looking around.

When he spotted me, he smiled and gave me a small wave.

My heart leaped a little as I returned a bright smile and ran up to them.

"Ah, Shy!" Rosalya gave me a big hug, "Good morning! I hope you've forgiven me for yesterday.."

She looked a little guilty as she let me go.

Rosalya doesn't really seem all that bad, now that I think about it... it's like she's changed completely from trying to destroy me yesterday..

That still doesn't mean I like her. And quit letting her hug us- me, it's disgusting!

"Um... well, I guess I do.." I said quietly.

Rosalya beamed, " To be honest, I have no idea what came over me... It was like your scent obliterated any thought to hold back from drinking you dry... I'd never felt like that before..."

You see? Even Rosalya has thought attacking you yesterday was weird.

"Good morning, Shy.."

I turned to Leigh and smiled, "Good morning, Leigh."

"It's great to see you're fine after yesterday. You seem to be taking all of this pretty well."

I blinked, "You really think so?I'm actually still processing some of it..."

The bell suddenly rang, signaling it was time to enter the building, and my stomach began to churn as I realized I was going to be around those vampires again.

Leigh opened the door and Rosalya walked in, and when I hesitated to walk inside, they both looked at me for a minute.

"Shy? Is something wrong?" Leigh asked.

"I... I'm scared.. What if they all attack me again? How am I supposed to enter the school, anyway? The principal must have forgotten.."

"Shy," Leigh reached out to grab the necklace on my neck, causing me to flush slightly, "This necklace doesn't just seal away your other side, it also makes your human scent less noticeable, so you seem like a vampire now... You'll be safe."

I let out a sigh of relief, but Leigh continued talking.

"I'm going to protect you even if something happens, so don't worry, alright?"

I felt my cheeks redden again and nodded once, "Right.."

"Hurry up, you two, or you'll be late!" Rosalya disappeared up a flight of stairs and Leigh and I walked down the hall toward my class.

I clutched my bag as we turned a corner and when I looked up, there was a hallway full of teens, having loud conversations and horse playing, but almost immediately when I turned the corner, the clamor silenced and all eyes were on me.

Some of the teenagers looked confused, probably of why I came back, while others looked intrigued and interested, looking me up and down.

"It's alright, come on..." Leigh said in a gentle voice, and I walked beside him.

Every one parted to make room for us to walk, and I suddenly felt Leigh's arm around me, and I felt safe.

I looked up at him, but he was staring straight ahead, glaring at whoever eyed me like a meal with gorgeous brown eyes , and I tried not to smile.

I wondered if most of the boys and girls here could take him seriously when he had such a gorgeous face... I mean, besides the glare, his beauty is all I would ever pay attention to.

I wondered if it was the same way for any one else.

I had half expected someone to lunge at me, but we were almost up a flight of stairs when the same clamor returned.

I let out another sigh of relief and Leigh let go of me.

"You see? You have nothing to worry about."

I nodded, and we continued up the stairs, then at last I came face to face with my first period teacher's class door.

"This is where we part."

I turned around to look up at Leigh.

"I'll see you later, alright? Castiel's in this class with you, and I'm pretty sure he would even look out for you if something happened."

"Why do you say that?"

Leigh only smiled as he walked off, and gave a silent wave.

I turned back to the door and took a deep breath before opening it.
