CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

The class that she really dreaded was Vamp Class. She loved Vamp Class… usually. She was still learning teleportation from Capri, but she had tried to bite Capri today. Alistair had slapped her across the face, and Phin… She and Phin… That could never possibly happen, but… There was something there, if not just because of the fact that they had both taken the other’s blood. Vamp Class came sooner than she expected, even with the added event of Abernathy’s monologue performance, which she performed perfectly.

“You did amazing,” she congratulated her friend, who looked a little flustered from her performance.

“Thanks,” she pretended to wipe some sweat off her brow. “Did I really?” Seph nodded enthusiastically, hugging the short girl briefly.

The ending bell rang, and Seph looked up at it with dread.

“Time for Species class,” Abernathy said cheerily, giving Seph a sidelong glance and clearly noting her unease. “It’ll be okay, Seph. Plenty of people have something weird happen to them when they first get here,” but the disconcerting look on her face obviously indicated that nothing as awful as what had happened earlier had happened to many residents at Monster Academy, if any.

“Ya… right…” Seph replied sarcastically, walking towards the Black Hall as Abernathy started to branch off in the other direction.

“Have fun,” she waved over her shoulder at Seph, who just sighed and headed for class.

It was awkward. As soon as she walked in, all nine other vampires in the classroom turned to look at her and then go about doing whatever they were doing, pretending that they had not been talking about her before she had walked in. She made her way over to Capri, who gave her a small grin. She was still technically training with him this week. Good thing she had tried to eat him not a few hours ago. She felt the familiar presence of Phin as he entered, but she did not turn to look at him. She could not meet his eyes just yet.

Either way, Vamp Class never really had a set beginning to it. Everybody just hung out, practiced a few things, and occasionally Phin would call them to order to discuss something. Sometimes, they would have a speaker, one of the many traveling vampires in the area, but not recently. Therefore, Seph was quite fine just practicing teleportation with Capri the whole class time, which they did.

If she thought Vamp Class was awkward, dinner was on an entirely different level. That was because the wizard she had nearly killed had made some new friends since then and was sitting with them at dinner that early morning. His new friends? Abernathy and Linda, to be exact. They had apparently met during Wizard Class or whatever they called it. As soon as she sat down, with her blood, he looked nearly equivalent to a deer caught in headlights. They stared at each other in a moment of hanged silence.

“What’s up?” She finally asked after an eternity, Abernathy and Linda’s eyes switching back and forth between the pair of them.
