CHAPTER FOURTEEN:

Since Mr Noméd told me about what Dionne was, my brain has been rethinking from the first day he resumed.

From the first day I saw Dionne, everything about him sensed weird and strange.
Things about him weren’t enticing me.

He might be cute than Daniel a thousand times but, his presence wasn’t comforting. Despite how hærd I try to push the feelings away, it keeps growing.

Now, it’s only mom who knows about this. Again, she reminded me of the word the figure in my dream once said, “A friend.”

When he said that, I’ve never set my eyes on Mr Noméd. And speaking of Mr Noméd, he’s definitely not my friend either.
So, it’s definitely not him.

Dionne, why didn’t I figured that out a long time ago?
The way he stalked me, winked at me, wanted me to be his friend. All this were to get close to me for my… Blood?

The night passed peacefully without any crazy freaking nightmares, bringing me to another brand new day.
“Rise and shine, you’re late for school.” Mom said as usual.

I dashed to the bathroom then to my uniform and from my uniform to the dinning, and from the dinning, I was out for school.

And I can’t believe myself as fast as ‘The Flash. ‘

Flo called me that she with Lora were at the library, so I went there.
At first, she said that something was wrong with Lora and that her neck badly hurts.

“She’s been itching her neck since we arrived. I asked her what happened to her but she keeps saying she doesn’t know. “Flo whispered, dragging me by the side.

I glared at the mark on her neck. ” Isn’t this the same mark on the victims neck.”

“Yes. Hold on, you’re saying that the same thing that killed those victims did this to her? ”

I nodded. ” Dionne. ”

” What? ”

” Dionne did this. So did he to those students. ”

” We must ask her first. ” she said and we returned to where Lora sat.

” When did you notice this?” I asked her.

“This morning and it badly hurts so much.”

” Who did this to you? “I asked again.

She shrugged. ” I don’t know. Maybe a snake bite. ”

” You should have been long dead if it were a snake bite. ”

” Then what might be the cause? ”

” Flo and I think it has to do with a vampire. This same mark are the same on the dead bodies of the students. Whoever did this to you is the same person involved in the student’s death. “I explained

” Were you with Dionne last night? ” Flo asked.

” Yes, ” Flo and I looked at each other. ” What? Why are you two staring at yourselves that way?”

“Lora… We think it’s Dionne who did this to you. Dionne.. he’s a lycan. ”

Lora’s eyes grew weak and sad, also filled with doubts and disbelief. “No, that’s not true. Dionne can never be a vampire.”

“Lora, I understand how much you love your boyfriend, and that’s how much Flo and I loves and care about you. I never wanted to tell you this from the start but, I have to now. ”

” What are you talking about? ”

” Dionne has been stalking on me since you two started dating. ” She frowned, ” Yes, I never wanted to tell you cos it was gonna ruin your relationsh¡p. As much as I don’t want that to happen, I decided not to be around him.”

” We don’t know if he’s been this way to other girls, you mustn’t trust him again. “Flo added.

” Look Lora, I’m not asking you to hate Dionne so much, I’m only asking you to stay away from him. The more he hangs out with you, the more he feeds on you until you’re fully drained out of blood. ”

” Why didn’t you tell me this earlier, I wouldn’t have been wa-isting my time around him. “She cried.

” I wanted you to be happy, ” I said with regrets. If I had told her on time, this wouldn’t have happened. Yet, Lora needs to be happy.

“I’ve always been happy with you two. And since I’ve been head over heels with him, I hærdly spend time with you two again. I never knew I had been fooling myself around him. Oh, I wish. ”

” Lora, don’t say that. It’s not too late to meet the nurse. You can skip classes, guess that will be better. “I suggested.

” I’ll escort you, I’ve got free period. “Said Flo.

” Okay. ”

Since the incident which took place on Saturday, I’ve never seen Dionne and I’m very thankful for that.

Now that I’ve told Lora about him, that’s the best way to avoid my dreams from coming true.
And someone, I want to be in this one place I find comfort…

Mr Noméd office. Besides, he might have a cure for Lora’s problem other than the nurse.

It’s okay for you to say, I’m crushing on my principal. And honestly, that’s just the truth.
Since the night he saved me from those men, I’ve never stopped thinking about those weird stares he gave to me.

And especially when I was covering his wounds, I can’t forget those looks, like he wanted to k-ss me.

Okay, that’s enough, Elise.
«Snap it off… »

“Are you here because of your friend?” He asked as soon as I entered his office.

“Yes..” honestly, that’s a big lie. I was here because I wanted to be here.

Oh, I almost forgot vampires do read minds.

“She’s sick. We think it’s Dionne who bit her. ”

” Has she been with him lately? ”

“Yes. Last night.”

He chuckled softly, “The poor lycan was hungry, what do you expect? She was always there for him. ”

” Can it be cured? “I asked ignoring what he said.

” There’s only two ways for that, and none is good to hear.”

“Which are?”

“It’s either she becomes a lycan just like he is, or she dies. ”

” There has to be something else, something different from those. ”

” Maybe, the human doctors can work on that. Have I answered your questions? ”

Rude. Can’t he read through my mind and understand that my main reason for being here was because of him?

“Do you wanna ask me something else?” He asked, bringing me back to reality.

” Uh oh, yeah. ” I looked at his name. ” Your name, what does it mean?”

“Nothing.”

I chuckled. “Nothing? All names mean something. ”

” What does your name mean? ” He asked back.

Does he have to ask me back?
” I don’t know, maybe you should ask my mom.”

“Maybe you should ask my mom too. ”

I frowned. ” Do you have to be this rude? ”

” I’m not rude, Miss Maria, but asking me that gets me annoyed. ”

” Well, thanks for your time. I’ve got class to attend. “I stood up and the next thing I heard from him, pulled me to a stand still.

“You’re in your period again, aren’t you?”

I threw him a hærd gaze. “Can you stop looking into my inner personal life? ”

” I wouldn’t have asked if you weren’t stained. ” I touched the back of my skirt, feeling the thickness of my blood on it.

My eyes went to the seat I had sat on, I don’t know if I should ran away or wipe those blood stains or even dig myself in the ground.

He took off his jacket, stretching it at me. “You can use it to cover the stains.”

For some reasons, I never wanted to collect it, and for so many reasons I really wanted to.
So, collecting it was the best option.

I looked at the chair, “Don’t worry about it, I’ll work on it myself.”

Ever since I turned twelve, this was my first menstrual cycle where I have to be told I was actually menstruating by guys!

Can you even imagine???

I successfully got home, changing to a new dress.
I didn’t wa-ist a second to wash my stained clothes.

All thanks to washing machine.
I pressed his jacket, spraying a little of my perfume on it.
I didn’t let any scent of my blood on it. I made sure it had my perf scent instead.

That night, as I slept. Just as always, I thought I was gonna see my weirdest dream.
This time, it was the sweetest and also the stupidest dream I’ve ever had.

Jeez…

~~~~~

Lolz… I’m just imagining how the dream is going cos me…

Hmmm… Don’t blame me, I’m a crazy thinker. 😅😅😅
