there getting treated by the nurse. Werewolves had an easier time with human contact because they weren’t cool like the vampires. They were warmer than humans by a few degrees and could pass off as mortals.
“Can I help you with anything?” the nurse asked.
“Y—yeah. I’m feeling very nauseous,” I said.
She let me lie down on a cot and gave me some medication.
“This should take effect in fifteen minutes or so, dear. I am going to go around the corner for a few minutes. If you girls need anything you can ring my buzzer and I will come back,” she said, smiling.
“James got you feeling sick?” Cara asked.
“What do you mean by that?”
“His power over you is disgusting. You just flock to him as if he was a god. He has you wrapped around his finger and it won’t end well for you,” she said, laughing.
“You don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said. “He loves me and I love him. He isn’t using me in any way.”
“Keep telling yourself that, princess. All of a sudden you get sick after spending so much time touching him and kissing him, and you don’t think it’s all related? Wake up and see what he is doing to you.”
“Oh yeah? James is using me as much as Derek is using you,” I shouted.
“Don’t you dare bring Derek into this. He and I are spirit bonded. We chose each other with no interference. He doesn’t have manipulation qualities like your undead boyfriend.”
I turned on my side so I wouldn’t have to look at her anymore. I wasn’t going to let her get to me. James loved me, and I knew he meant it. He wasn’t using me for anything and I knew that he cared about me. Cara just wants to shove a wedge between us for her own personal gain. She hates vampires and would do anything to make them miserable.
“Running away?” she asked. “Typical.”
The nurse walked in soon after Cara talked.
“How are you feeling, dear?” she asked me.
“I feel a lot better. I think I would like to go now.”
“Okay, dear. Let me just get you a pass for your class,” she said as she handed me my slip. “If you start feeling ill again don’t hesitate to come back,” she said, smiling.
I smiled and took my slip. I walked out of the room hoping that Cara would get fleas. She was crazy, and nothing she could say would keep me away from James.
I started walking slowly through the hallway. I still wasn’t feeling that great, but getting away from Cara was worth not staying there longer. I finally made it across the school and into class. I handed the slip over to the teacher and sat in a desk open in the back row. I put my hand against my cheek and tried to listen as my mind drifted off into a daydream.
I started thinking of James again. What if Cara was right? I didn’t think James would do that to me, but you never know. She was right that I was different. I thought about him a lot and didn’t feel I could go on with my life without him. I needed him. No, it isn’t true. She is just jealous because she is stuck with that fleabag Derek and I have somebody as remarkable as James.
It seemed like I was there for five minutes before the bell rang. I hadn’t had a clue of what the teacher said or even if there was an assignment. My mind was filled with the thought of James.
Ariel approached me after class to see how I was feeling.
“Hey, did you get sick?” she asked me.
“No. She gave me some medicine and I got to leave.”
“You know we have more dissections in biology today, right? I hope you will be able to handle it.”
“Great,” I said as we walked away.
We made our way to biology and I started feeling nauseous again. The thought of dissecting another animal was gross enough, but add in this sickness and it almost felt like too much to handle.
We walked into class and went to our seats. I saw James sitting at a table with nobody next to him. I walked up and sat
