glare.
“Well, we must not always trust the
Internet now, Miss Black,” she turned her back to her and walked towards the
center front of the classroom after chiding her.
Seph just shook her head. Clearly,
this teacher didn ’ t like her for some reason.
Whatever… She would live. Suddenly, a wadded paper ball hit in the back of the
head and bounced away. She whirled around in her desk to look at the students
surrounding her, and she saw Ruby and the werewolf guy she had been talking to
in their HU class laughing quietly to themselves. She sent them a well-placed
glare. He thought he was so cool with his little brown fohawk, tinted green.
Only certain people could pull that look off, and he was not one of them. As
for Ruby, she was a coldhearted-
“Is Mr. Oglesby engrossing your
attention, Miss Black?” Seph faced forward as she realized that, once again,
Madam Powers was towering in front of her desk. “Do you think he ’ ll return your affections?” She
remarked with a smirk, and several little laughs spread around the classroom.
The long-haired girl beside her was
not joining in. Apparently, she didn ’ t
think it was that funny either. Seph felt like she had at least one ally in the
classroom. That was better than none, to be an optimist.
“Oh, Mr. Oglesby may engross her
attention, Madam Powers, but never the other way around,” Ruby called up from
the back as more students laughed now.
“Yea, no offense or nothin ’ ta the whole… get along wit ’ each otha ’ s differences or whateva thang,” he twanged in a deep
Southern accent. “ But
I don’ t dig on no
bloodsuckas,” he finished, smirking and leering at her simultaneously.
Seph opened her mouth to retort, but
Madam Powers crisply cut her off.
“Do not even think about
interrupting my classroom, Miss Black, with your banter,” she remarked sharply,
walking back to the front of the class to continue her lecture on a text of the
Amazons.
Seph glared at the teacher. She was
a bitch. Huh? What do you know? Bitch rhymed with witch. How nice. She turned
back to glare at Ruby and Oglesby, and he twiddled his fingers at her
annoyingly. She roamed his mind to locate his first name… Ian.
No worries, Ian. I wouldn ’ t touch a Southern dog like you with
a ten foot pole ,
she turned back to the front after catching Oglesby ’ s sudden look of surprise. His eyes scanned the
classroom, but he knew who had spoken to him, in his mind. Perfect. Give them
something good to talk about.
She heard whispers from the back
with her new, hypersensitive ears and knew that he was informing Ruby of what
he had just heard. She quietly listened in on Ruby ’ s thoughts while all the time pretending to pay
attention to Madam Powers. Ruby thought that maybe Ian had just been hearing
things or maybe this new, annoying vampire had more depths than she thought.
There had been the time in HU, when she thought she heard the vampire in her
head than too. Either way, she was going to keep her eye on that evil, little
vamp. She was a challenge and a problem to the power she had established at
this school. She may soon need to be dealt with…
Bring it on, Seph thought to herself when she
felt a slight shaking of her arm. Blinking several times, she turned her head
to see that the long-haired Asian girl was talking to her. She was introducing
herself. What had she just said?
“Hey? You there?” The girl laughed
cheerily, already small brown eyes disappearing into little more than slits.
“Oh ya, sorry. I just… zoned out,”
she remarked smoothly, and the girl smiled again, the apples of her cheeks
crinkling her eyes.
“Oh ya. I do that too sometimes,” she
said happily, and Seph nodded. “I was just introducing myself. I ’ m Abernathy. Abernathy Tran,” she
tapped her fingertips to her lips and then her forehead.
Was she Arabic or something? She
looked Asian though. Vietnamese or Chinese, maybe.
“Persephone Black, but everybody
calls me Seph,”
“Well, we must not always trust the
Internet now, Miss Black,” she turned her back to her and walked towards the
center front of the classroom after chiding her.
