Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: New Enemies

Kira POV

Dear diary,

I've been in the bathtub for the past 2 hours. As usual, I couldn't exactly sleep last night so I spent most of the night on Instagram and youtube.

I don't know if it's because I'm a vampire, but I barely sleep at night and then I'm restless as fuck during the day.

Maybe I'm just a night owl.

There's not even much to do here at night, which is very annoying because I can't leave the compound, so I just lay in bed with my phone and laptop while Rachel sleeps like a baby.

Anyways I got up early and head to the shower so I can relax and think about everything that has happened since week.

It's the end of my first week of school and thus far I haven't hurt anybody, so yayy to those who are still breathing. It has been 3 days since Jackson asked me out and I haven't seen or heard from Christian since the day of the gym. I know he goes to school because he and Rachel has a couple classes together throughout the week and I've glimpse him a few times. I think he's avoiding me because apparently he've been attending everyone of his classes except the ones he has with me and that is definately not a coincidence.

According to Rachel, he only shows up to his classes for like a minute then doesn't show up again until lunchtime. It's Christian, he always shows up to lunch, just not when I'm there apparently. Grey eyed muthafucker

No one else knew what happened in the gym the other day and Lisa convinced our teacher to not tell the headmaster about the little accident that happened in class. She used her magic to repair the broken desk, so it's easy to believe that nothing unusual happened in there. Only way the headmaster would know about it, is if someone from the class snitch.

No one has mention the incident with my Vanessa again nor 'the lady with the wolf tattoo'. I think they're just making sure i'm settled-in first and I am. I'm really comfortable here, even though I have like 5 real friends and honestly, that's all I need. The smaller your circle, the better.

People talk to me now and then, it's mostly the people I live amongst though and the ones in my classes. I've gotten more comfortable with those from my friend group and I don't know, I think I actually really like them. They accept me for me and they've proven they care for me and my differences quite well, especially Rachel.

Alli is the most responsible one of the group, she's basically the mom of the group, well she is the eldest. No one knows why Christian has been so distance, not even her and they're close. Jackson and I, well we haven't gone on our date yet so we're not particular dating but we have gotten closer.

I haven't seen 'little miss bitch' in a while, Thank God! when I do glimpse her though, she either growls at me or does that thing where she licks her fangs. I wish I could say it doesn't bother me, but it does, she does and so does her brother who keeps trying to flirt with me, ew.

Regardless of that, I'm still that mean muthafucker I was before. The only difference is, I'm selective with whom I show my nice side. The only thing I hate about this place, is that you have to feed on bloodbags and that shit doesn't work for me. That's the point of this actually, to protect us from the outside world, there are hunters out there who would turn this place upside down if they knew this is a supernatural school. Besides, the population is better off with us in here.

I need human blood. Bloodbags aren't for vampires like me, I need the real blood from the veins and the more I go without it, is the more I need it. It's only a matter of time before I snap and take matters into my own hands. It's not safe if I try to leave here all by myself but it's torture not feeding from a human.

As far as I can see, I haven't used my magic since that day. Can't be too sure though because that thing seems to work when it wants to. Lisa only use hers when she needs to, and knowing me, I'd probably use mine to make popcorn, summon food or change the colour of my outfits.

It's kinda like my magic has a mind of it's own and wtf is the point of that, I need to control this bitch before it controls me.

~End of Diary chat~

"I thought you were never gonna come out," She mumbles.

"I wasn't but I cannot have a stinky friend so I took pity on you," I chuckle. She threw her pillow towards on me and I laugh.

'What's the theme for today?' I ask myself scrambling through my closet. I really need to go shopping soon, I love feeling like a black queen especially when I wear black but I think I need to switch up things a little. More than half my clothes are black, I'm not exactly a fan of shocking colours like Rachel but It's about time I try something new.. Eh for today.

I smile when my eyes catches the perfect outfit. A blue jeggings with a white strapless blouse, imma have to wear a jacket with this... or should I? I swear I've seen Regina's bitch ass wore a bikini top to school a few days ago and no one said anything.

Ya know, imma stick with my jacket because I don't want to attract the wrong attention, not today. Today I feel calm and peaceful, which is why I'm wearing blue.

My mood is probably gonna be ruined in the first 5 minutes of walking into school, but whatever.

"So when's the date?" Rachel shouted from inside the bathroom, the shower is running but I still heard her pretty clear. "What date?" I ask applying my lip gloss. I should've just pretend I didn't heard her

She didn't reply right away. After a few minutes she walks out of the bathroom with the towel only covering below her waist. "Your date with Jackson ofcourse... Or is there somebody else you're going on a date with?"

I spot the smirk on her face through the mirror. I roll my eyes at her and walk over to my sneakers. "I don't know yet, he didn't tell me when."

"I wonder what Christian thinks about this," She said putting on her underwear. What does me going out with Jackson has to do with Christian?

"Why are you single?" I ask changing the topic.

"What do you mean?" she asks doing her makeup.

"Like duhh! You're not that bad looking and you have a great personality not to mention that you're not the dumbbest person I've ever met, I think," I blurt out tieing my shoelace.

"Did you just call me pretty?!" She giggles. Don't flatter yourself. This why I don't like giving compliments, lol.

"I suppose you are... In your own way ofcourse," I coughed. Lol we can't be friends if I can't insult you 24/7.

We both laugh it off and finish getting ready. We only ate breakfast like 3 times this week, it's not like we need it... Just kidding, I definitely need it since I'm hungry 24/7. Most mornings we have to skip it just because she couldn't risk being late, as if showing up on time is more important than my stomach.

I pull my hair up into a ponytail and smile to myself for the accomplishment. I haven't worn my hair like this to school since junior year. I figure it'll look pretty decent with my outfit... And it turns out... I'm right. I don't look all that bad.

"I still think I look my best in black," I mumble to myself.

"People is going to think we switched outfits," She chuckles. She's wearing a black dress with black boots, her long hair resting on her chest. Usually i'm the one wearing something black and she's the one wearing any colour but black.

"You should do your hair like that more," she smiled fixing my edges, or making them worse. "Not a bad idea but no."

"I thought you like bad ideas," she smirks.

"I do... I really really do."

We laugh a bit before packing our things.

I lock our door and head to the elevator, I haven't used it since I live here and I'm in a hurry to get to my morning bloodbag from the cafeteria. The elevator ride was smooth, there was only 2 other people in there except from me and Rachel. I barely paid any attention the entire ride though, I was too busy texting *coughs* Jackson.

"Have you heard from Christian yet?" Rachel ask ruining the mood. I roll my eyes and tuck my phone into my back pocket. "No Rachel, clearly he doesn't want to talk to me so that's his problem".

If he doesn't want to talk to me, he doesn't want to talk to me. That's his business.

"Maybe he has his reasons," she shrugs.

"Well fuck his reasons and fuck him! You don't talk to me, I don't talk to you it's as simple as that!" I snap.

Wow, not even 5 whole minutes onto school ground's and my mood is already ruined

I grip my bag and speed off leaving her. A breath of relief escape my mouth when I walk into the cafeteria.There's only about 10 people in here so I guess i'm fine, as long as nobody tries to talk to me.

"Goodmorning dear," Ms Sashwell, the lady incharge of serving the bloodbags smiles handing me a glass. She's really nice, friendly and caring and probably one of the only elderly here that actually looks somewhere close to their age. I think she's like 50 but looks no more than 40.

I try to smile but I'm too angry to, so I just take the glass from her and walk over to an empty table far away from everybody else.

Sometimes I even annoy myself with my own attitude, 'Like what the fuck you so mad about now, you miserable ass bitch?'

The bell rings and I sigh making my way to my locker. I have gym class now with Rachel and probably 'the other one'. It turns out that every Friday, we all get to train/practice our skills/ magic for a challenge everybody refer to as 'Last Team Standing' which is pretty much a competition where we all compete against each other in teams. This happens every other Friday and the top three teams gets three days to roam off campus, so i've heard. Seems fair, because we're only allowed off campus unless it's an emergency. Even if it's just for three days, there's no way I'm going to let an opportunity like that pass me... nope.

I think I need to speak to Rachel, she's honestly a good friend and all but i'm too stubborn to admit that to her face. I glimpsed her walking to the main gym and I swallow my pride and decided to talk to her. I don't even know why I was so angry anyways

"Rachel umm..." I gulp catching up to her, "I think I should um, ya knw". She stop at the doorway and I bit my lips awkwardly trying to form the words on my lips. "It's okay Keke, you don't have to apologize, it was my fault," she smilea. It doesn't matter how many times I tell her not to call me that, she does it anyway.

Thank God because that would've been the first time my bitch-ass actually apologizes to someone.

"It's not exactly your fault, but we're just gonna pretend it's your fault so I won't have to admit that it's my fault, which it's not," I scoff.

She playfully rolls her eyes and hugged me.

I smiled and tighten my ponytail, "Phew, now that, that's settled can we go in now, I really need to kick somebodys' ass". We giggle and walk into the gym which is very huge. There's a boxing ring in the centre. I swear this room is as big as the assembly. "Alli and the others' is way at the back," Rachel said passing through the crowd.

Jacksons' face lit up as soon as he spot me coming through the crowd, I smiled too and walk over to them. "I can see you two are rubbing off on each other," Alli chuckles checking us out. "Nah she's still a sour puss," Rach scoff and they laugh.

"Alright everybody, less talking and more listening, in case you haven't noticed, your voices are very annoying!" Mr Smith shouted, as expected the gym erupted in laughter. I gotta admit, this man is my favourite teacher, I mean what's there not to like? He's funny not to mention he's fine asf for a man who's over 300 years old.

"Yeah yeah shut up now," he scoffed. We did just that and he continued, "Most of you guys are already aware of the competition 'Last Team Standing', so it's pretty much the same as always, 6 person to a team and each team will compete against another team until there's only 3 teams left standing. For those who are unfamiliar with this competition, it's not as easy as it seems because all 6 members of the team should be left standing so it's a team effort. To win all 6 members should compete as one. The winning team gets 7 days off campus to do whatever the hell you want with the exception of destroying the entire planet ofcourse, I trust that my fellow vampires will take it easy ,although this is one of the only times where you guys are allowed to kill and not get punishment as long as you know how to cover up your tracks."

"Is he serious?" I asked a little bit too excited. "Seems so". "We have to win!" I blurt out.

"Before you guys arrange your teams, be aware that each team has to have atleast one werewolf, one witch and one vampire and no more than 3 vampires to a team," Mr Smith added earning a frown from most of the vampires.

No wonder they gave us seven days. Werewolves and witches aren't that much threat to humans, unless they're being petty... but Vampires on the other hand...

"You guys didn't actually think we were gonna allow a group of blood sucking vampires roam America for 7 days, right?" The headmaster laughs. I didn't even know he was has in here.

I haven't been called into his office at all this week. I try my best to keep out of trouble just so I don't have to have a one-on-one conversation with him again. He reminds me of that one Principal that everyone seems to like except for me.

"Guys we need to find a sixth member before they start inspecting our group," Rachel said. Ugh, but I don't like anybody else except these guys.

"We already have a sixth member," Alli smirks.

"Who?"

"Me"

...

"Over my dead body!" I snap.

He winks and pat my shoulder, "No need to be a sour puss."

I grab his arm and punch him on his nose. I hope I didn't cause a scene, the headmaster doesn't seem to like me already. He grab his bloody nose and growl. He waited until his nose heal before stepping backward so he can gather his fist and hit me back. I was going to punch him again harder this time but someone beat me to it.

"You've been a naughty boy, Reginald," he whispered cracking his fingers.

"Christian don't you dare!" Alli growls. A couple of eyes turn our way, none of them is a teacher so that's a good thing, for now. Christian smirk and fix the collar of his jacket, I've never seen him in this jacket before... I wonder where he stole it.

Knowing him, he either: 1) Compelled someone to give it to him, 2) Killed somebody and took it. The only time I used compulsion was that one time when I wanted clothes and a phone from a store back in Ohio. I don't consider it stealing, the Manager basically gave it to me and yes, I might've killed him after that.

"Christian..." Mr Smith said walking up to us, Reggie quickly wipe his nose with his shirt, it doesn't make much difference though because i'm pretty sure most of them has already smelt it. Human blood is stronger than vampire blood but our sense of smell is strong, especially with something like blood. "How nice of you to join us,".

He's always talking to Christian like he's trying his best not to snap and punch him. I understand

"Of course.." he ran his hand through his hair and smirked at me, "Wouldn't miss it for anything." Jerk

Mr Smith glance and Reggie and roll his eyes. This guy should be a pornstar, for real.

"Alright guys, gather up in your teams. Indicate when your finish and a supervisor will come around to inspect and take names". Everyone went about in their group as quickly as possible, Reggie went over to a group with his bitch-ass sister, I'm gonna have so fun destroying that group.

"So who's the captain of this group?"

"Alli!" Lisa blurt out. We all nod our heads because Alli is obviously the most responsible one in the group. Mr Smith smiles and pats her head before walking off. We smile altogether and wait for the next announcements.

"So are you going to tell us why you've been MIA lately?" Jackson asked Christian. I try my best to pretend he wasn't here but he's not very ignorable. "I would, but I don't see how that is important right now," he replied a bit tense.

Before Jackson could speak again, The Headmasters' voice bolt through the crowd, "Okay guys, so now that you already sort out your teams and select your captains, it's time you choose a cool name for your team for example: 'The Danger Squad' or 'The platerpussies and the penguins' etcetera, " the room erupted in laughter, C'mon! who can keep a straight face after those names. Platerpussies... lmao

"I say we call ourselves 'The Vixens'," Rachel blurt out.

"No. What about 'Pretty danger'?" Jackson added. "Pretty on the outside, dangerous on the inside."

He has a point.

"Guys we need something that make us looks good but bad," Lisa breathe out.

"Christian and the five musketeers." We all shot daggers at him and he laughs and he throws his hands up, surrendering.

Then it hits me. The perfect name I could possibly think of. Three words that describes us all.

"Pretty Little Monsters."
