After getting out of bed and leaving Elena to sleep to recover from the weariness of her last socializing an hour before school started.
He put on a polo shirt and button-down jeans that made his body quite evident in his muscles. Not that he wanted to show off, but his clothes got tight after he gained a body by transforming.
He went into the kitchen where he found Jenna cooking and whistling. she was no longer wearing her scarf and looked quite happy.
Jeremy decided not to frighten his aunt and tapped the wall twice, making enough noise to get Jenna's attention.
Jenna turned to Jeremy with a smile, "Are you ready for day one?" She asked
"No" Jeremy replied, honestly." I'm not ready. I'm completely freaked out."
He didn't want to go to school. that was the truth, going to school was something he wasn't ready for yet as the smell of blood tormented him to the point where he wanted to kill everything nearby.
Of course, he wouldn't do that. Jeremy had a grip on his vampirism and he was in Elena's blood which had a lot of mana that quenched his thirst. But holding yourself in an environment conducive to the freaking out of your instincts wasn't a very smart thing to do.
"Come on! cheer up more" Jenna declared amused
She went to stand in front of Jeremy and started to straighten his polo collar and then patted his chest.
"If you feel bad" Jenna spoke seriously "Call me and I'll get you"
She was genuinely concerned about Jeremy's situation. Having your nephew become a shark and eating everyone at school would be no fun.
So even if Jeremy didn't know Jenna knew his secret she had to keep her nephew in line and make his vampire life as normal as possible.
"I'll-- Believe me," Jeremy nodded seriously as well, "Are you going to wake up Elena?"
Jeremy looked toward the stairs and his super ears heard Elena snoring softly. He shivered at the protective feeling he was having for her. Jeremy never felt that way about anyone but Estella-- Isobel
"Yes," Jenna replied, "Don't worry, I'll take care of her! You can go-- but stay away from Vicky-- you're still suspected of attempted harassment."
Jenna made a face and put her hand on her nephew's face making him look her right in the eye showing him that she wasn't kidding. Yeah, it was better for Jeremy to stay away from Vicky for a while.
"OK, No Vicky" Jeremy held up his hands in surrender "I won't find Vicky"
"Good boy" Jenna smiled "Now you can go"
She patted Jeremy on the chest who waved at her and bent down to kiss her forehead.
"Bye Aunt Jenna" Jeremy said
He ran away leaving Jenna alone in the kitchen. she put a hand to her shocked forehead and smiled silly shaking her head. Her nephew became very affectionate!
--
Jeremy stopped in front of the school building with a grimace. He didn't want to be there. The scent of blood circulating in hormone-filled bodies made his Instincts rise to the surface.
He swallowed hard as he took the first step towards the school. He took courage quickening his steps to get close enough
{Blood Lust Detected}
Jeremy froze in complete shock. Was he the target of Bloodlust?
Jeremy looked around worriedly looking for whoever could have sent him negative feelings. he only saw students everywhere and normal levels 5 to 15, nothing too big.
He was possibly shot for bloodlust by someone outside the school. his mind leaked to another thought. Stele! The only thought that maybe she was back made his heart race.
He didn't know if he would be sad or happy with her approaching him again. Jeremy began to count in his mind trying to make the anxiety he felt disappear. He counted to 10 and little by little his breathing started to slow down and he was able to think normally.
He felt helpless. But, something inside him started to get more out of control and without Jeremy noticing the tattoo on his back started to grow slowly turning red

{Hunter Subclass has been activated, All core class base class weaknesses have been temporarily suppressed}
{With the Hunter subclass activated, the predator's trustability was created}
Jeremy was surprised by the notification and finally realized that his subclass could be completely useful to him. He suddenly started to feel calmer and more capable.
Jeremy quickly narrowed his eyes at the feeling of confidence. He didn't like having such a feeling now in an unfavourable situation where a threat was near
He then decided to check out more about the skill. When selecting the new skill, her bio was activated showing Jeremy Skill characteristics
{predator's confidence skill: It's the ability to remain confident in a moment of tension}
Jeremy rolled his eyes at the lack of information the skill had.
"Of course, the system wouldn't tell me everything!" Jeremy joked
He continued to walk towards the school being greeted by a few groups of his classmates. he saw Vicky in the distance who smiled at him.
As much as Jeremy wanted to keep his promise to Jenna. it was impossible for him not to say hello to Vicky and so El smiled back at her.
The girl perked up when she saw Jeremy's smile and trotted over to him excitedly. however, she stopped the next moment, frowning and changing direction making Jeremy confused.
'what got into her' Jeremy wondered
"Hey," a voice spoke behind him with an irritated tone "You're late! How am I going to be the dance contest champion this year if my partner is late for rehearsals?"
Jeremy chuckled, already knowing what drove Vicky away. He turned and saw the smiling blonde looking at him. Before he said anything, the blonde put some kind of cloth around Jeremy's neck.
"Let's rehearse," The blonde said sullenly "we're late"
She then pulled the cloth off thus taking Jeremy along with her through school.
"Wait," Jeremy said "I have something to take care of at the office"
"Solve it later!" The blonde replied"The dance contest is tomorrow"
"OK," Jeremy gave up letting himself be taken in by the blonde named Caroline and getting the look of everyone nearby with awkwardness as this boy follows Caroline's attention.
As Jeremy was dragged down the school hallway by Caroline, his eyes slammed into someone's back to him which left him on alert with the person's title.
{The Ripper of MonteRey-- Stefan Salvatore-- Level 170}
{HP: 1700} {MP: 1700/100 000}
Jeremy felt like throwing up looking at this mysterious person's MP and HP.
"Jeremy come soon" Caroline felt Jeremy stop walking and pulled the cloth around his neck more tightly.
Jeremy took a deep breath and decided to go with Caroline so he wouldn't be in the same space as this boy. One thing worried Jeremy. The boy had the same MP sealed as Elena, something was very wrong
Jeremy would find out what was wrong after rehearsing with Caroline
