Chapter Text
"Have a good first day!" Ericka yelled after Nicholas as he left the hotel.
"Mooom!" He yelled back, "I'm 115! ill be fine!" And he raced off into the woods. It wasn't long until he reached the high school. He took a big breath, "10th grade here I come And he walked inside. It was exactly the same as last year. The talking, slamming of lockers, teachers yelling. Be cool, be cool, it's the same as last year. He thought to himself. He walked a bit farther down the hall, and to his locker. As he started to unlock his locker, a shadow loomed over him. The shadow had two ears on the top of its head and a tail. A werewolf grabbed his shoulder and violently slammed his face into his locker.
"Look who it is." The werewolf sneered.
"Steve please." Nicholas said, his voice muffled by the locker.
"Can't hear you, cry baby!" Steve said.
Last year Nicholas burst into tears when the class laughed at him
Steve slowly took his clawed hand off of Nicholas's shoulder. But when he turned around, Steve punched him in the nose. It made Nicholas's head smash back into his locker, causing a dent. Nicholas let out a small moan and reached a hand up to his nose. Blood was starting to drip from it. Now they had started to draw a crowd, some were video recording.
"I though both of your parents were vampires." Steve smirked.
"M-my mother was a h-human when she had me." Nicholas said.
"Well..." Steve started. Punching him once more, but on one of his eyes. It knocked him to the ground. "Half-blood FREAK!!" Steve hollered and he walked away. Nicholas slightly angled his head up to see a beautiful girl with long milky brown hair, olive skin and round intelligent eyes. she was just standing there, staring with wide frightened eyes. "ZOEY! LETS GO!" Steve yelled to Zoey. She gave one last glance at Nicholas. He stared right back into her eyes. He though he felt something more than pain, Zoey though that too. Then she ran off in the direction of Steve's voice..
Nicholas groaned and slowly got to his feet. Jerk. he thought. He saw the nurse finally sprinting down the hallway. Of course she now shows up. He thought.
LATER.
Nicholas spent most of the school night in the nurses office, but he was allowed to go to his last period, L.A. He walked to Mrs. Carroll class with a ice pack over his eye. Steve broke his nose, but it healed fast. When he walked through the door, Mrs. Carroll gave him a warm smile. "Everyone, you may read silently." She said to the class. She beckoned him over to her desk.
"Sorry I'm late." He said to her.
"No problem," She said to him, "sit." He sat down in a chair next to her desk. "That fight sounded severe." She said to him.
"More like a person beating someone else up and they cant defend themselves."
"True," She said. "do your parents know?"
"GOD NO!" He exclaimed, "they'd beat themselves up say how bad they are at being parents."
"They will find out eventually," Mrs. Carroll said, "im just glad your all right." She said. Giving him a warmhearted smile, showing her two small fangs. He returned the smile. "I saw you eyeing Zoey in the hall." She said.
He blushed, "No....you didn't."
"She's sitting right over there." Mrs. Carroll, looking over near the door. Zoey was sitting reading Warriors: Fire and Ice. Nicholas's heart started to race. "Don't be nervous." Mrs.Carroll said.
"I..I'm ...N-not." He stuttered.
"If you say so." Mrs.Carroll said. Looking at her lesson plans for the following week....
