"So this is one room where the girls get all preppy and learn how to eat and drink properly." "It's not like I'm becoming some princess or something." I say towards Phillip who is in front of Piper and I, pointing at doors. The doors are shut but there is glass so we can see through the classrooms. "Funny." He jokes meanwhile Piper is giggling next to me. "I just don't understand how vampires are real." I confess because that still is roaming around my thoughts. "You are talking to one." "No shit Sherlock." "I like you, usually when the games start the girls become snotty, especially when they see the boys." He pauses in the middle of the hallway, gazing his eyes at me. "You are definitely going to get chosen." "Yeah okay, my intension is to go home, not get chosen." "With that type of mouth, the boys will go head over heels for you." "Jesus no." "Oh yes." Phillip replies back while holding out the 's' from yes. I roll my eyes while Piper tries to stiff in a laugh. Seriously, this girl only likes to laugh and that's it. I'm the only one talking to Phillip. "Do you know Mr. Hansel?" "Of course I know him." "What happen to his parents?" There's an awkward silence while he sighs. "His parents were killed when he was a baby. They were killed by demons." "Demons?" I question and Piper glares at me with her eyebrows furrowed. "Again, you'll learn about them soon." "But I want to know now! You can't leave me hanging like that." I pout my bottom lip when Phillip narrows his eyes to me. "Trust me, they are something you do not want to encounter." "Like encountering a vampire?" Suddenly, Phillip pops in front of me with his inhuman speed and a gasp escapes my lips. Piper jumps in fear, catching her balance against the wall. "Worst than my kind. Deadlier than us." He whispers in my ear, his lips touching the tip of it. I shake from how close we are but he pulls away, walking away from us. I turn my head to Piper who is staring at me with wide eyes. "Are you guys coming? We still have more rooms." He adds while we obey, catching up to him. We turn to another hall and Phillip quietly heads inside a large room. Piper and I walk in amazed, our eyes catching beautiful dresses. There was hundreds on hangers and large fitting rooms. Other dress products were on tables and couches for people to sit down. "Here is probably going to be all of your favorites." Phillip says, plopping down on a couch. His golden locks of hair falls down on his forehead until he moves them over. I can see Piper get over excited while she runs to a rack of dresses and looks at them. "What is this for?" I ask him, crossing my arms over my chest. "Well to meet the boys, you guys will have to attend a dance." "Yes! I love dances!" Piper cheers and Phillip gets up. I think this school adventure is making Piper love it. It's brainwashing her and I need to fix that problem. I sure do not want to be the only one who is going to rebel against this. "Great. I think this color would be amazing with your skin color and eye color." He says to her, taking her to the back and pointing at this navy blue dress. Their backs are facing me so while they are talking about the dress they are eyeing, I slowly tiptoe to the door. I escape from the room and jog down the hall. I see stairs so I take them, walking up another flight which is the third floor. I look through the classrooms and wondering why there's so many meanwhile there are so little amount of students. Heading to a door that is a crack open and me wondering what it is, I slowly walk towards it. I see a sign on the door that say's 'Principle Office' and Mr. Hansel clicks in my head. Without knocking, I look through the crack but what I see makes me cover my mouth. Mr. Hansel is making out with a women. I don't know who she is but she looks like a worker. He's kissing her on her neck, the women is sitting on his desk while he is leaning over her. Wait, he's kissing her neck? Oh fuck that, he's not kissing her. He's feeding on her! His hands are running up and down her thighs while she has her eyes tightly closed with his lips parted a bit. Her face showed pain. I want to say someone but the good thing to do is slowly walk away and find Phillip and Piper. Shit, it wasn't smart sneaking by myself! Oh hell no it wasn't! How about if they were doing something else... more than him drinking her blood. I shake that thought out and I let them be, running down the hall. I race to the stairs I took and I tumble down them quickly. I need to get out of here. Did I really just see a vampire drinking blood! Holy fuck no. My heart is pounding and my vision is blurring. I feel like I'm going to pass out now. Is it going to be a everyday thing here? Watching vampires chew on humans like a chew toy? No one better touch me or I'll whip their ass. I was ready to turn to another hall but someone grabs me from behind. I'm ready to scream but a large hand clomps over my mouth. I try to shout muffles but the person brings my body against theirs. It's a hard chest and their other arms warps around my body. "Don't scream, you do not want to startle anyone." A warm breath hits my ear and I know that voice. It's Mr. Hansel's. He heard me run off! I thought I was quiet enough for no one to hear. He pins his body against the wall and I'm resting on him. I feel like I'm too close to him as a student and principle. It's awkward. "If I let go, will you not run?" I nod my head and he pulls his hand away from my mouth. His other hand wrapped around my body is pulled away too. I hear voices from the hall I want to turn to before he grabbed me. The voice sounded way too close to us and abruptly, Mr. Hansel grabs me and turns me. Now I'm pinned against the wall and he's in front of me, his hands on my upper arms. I'm staring at him stunned, so shocked that vampires can move that quickly. "Now here is where the girls will be taught how to behave their manners." I see a women appear at our sight and she turns to us when she sees us. Mr. Hansel pulls away from me so it won't look like we were doing something sexual or somewhat. The women stops and suddenly, a small group of boys stop behind her. My cheeks become hot when they all look at me, all six of them. Wait, six? The six human boys who the girls need to impress to get chosen? Oh that's awkward now. "Oh, Mr. Hansel." She says while I turn my head to the other side. I do not want any of the boys to see my ugly ass face because one quick glance I gave them seemed like they looked really hot. Like drop dead hot boys. Mr. Hansel purses his lips into a thin line, nodding to her. "Demetria, good evening." He responds back while I bite my lip, staring at the marble ground. "Adeline! There you are!" A hear a faint voice and when I lift my head up, it's Phillip and Piper jogging to me. Now the center of attention is all on me. When they reach us, Piper starts to pant like she ran a mile. I don't think she noticed that six boys around our age are staring at her weirdly. "We were looking everywhere for you!" She says through her thick breathing. "I am terribly sorry Chandler and Demetria for losing Adeline." Phillip says while I slide away from Mr. Hansel and I stand next to Piper. "It is fine, I handled it and everything is good." Mr. Hansel says to him. I grab my cap, tilting it down so I don't have the desire to look at the boys or let them see my face. "Okay, we will be leaving then." He adds, walking forward to pass everyone and leave from the door that said 'exit'. Demetria starts to talk again to the boys while walking past us. "Adeline." A voice whispers past me and I look up, turning my head to face these light hazel eyes. I open my mouth agape like I want to say something but I can't. I just stare into his eyes and nothing else. Piper snaps me out of my gaze when she grabs me, tugging me towards her. "What?" I snap towards her. "Sorry, you were about to walk into the wall." She says to me softly. "Oh my bad." I reply back, turning back around to see him. But I only see an empty hallway.
