Julie kept frowning at the disturbing sun rays having had enough and she decided to open her eyes with a lazy yawn.
"Morning already....this is not fair ! mmmmh"Julie grumbled as she lazily got out of bed and went to pull open the curtains only to be hit by the sun perfectly which in return made her squint her eyes .
Julie heard a knock on her door so she replied "come in " yawning as she sat down near the edge of the bed , her little sister came in with a mischievous smile. Julie didn't quite understand why her little sister had that expression till she heard her say " Looks like someone's gonna be late for school today ".
As soon as she had heard those words her mind instantly became active shocked to see that it was almost 8 am .
"Ooooh no ! am going to be late for Mr Winston's class , he is going to be so mad "Julie said with widened eyes , she hurriedly took a shower while brushing her teeth but then she noticed two punctured dot marks on one side of her neck .
Her mind tried to come up with reasons of were the marks had come from but in the end she came up with a quick answer "These marks must be my birth marks " .
Julie quickly got ready, packed her breakfast and lunch but before she had the chance to step out of the house she met her Mother by the door who had a doubtful look on her face.
" At what time did you return home last night cause I waited for you for quite sometime but you never showed up , so explain yourself young lady"Julie's mom stated while folding her arms across her chest . "Mother_ I was studying with my friends please believe me " Julie lied .
" Am not buying this charade little Missie , you are grounded for three days ! no wait for a week ! and when you come back we are going to have a talk about this audacity of yours .
Now go before you're late more than you already are " Julie's Mom said with a Stern look on her face .
"But.....Motheeeer.!!..... I came back home early last night " whinned Julie .
" Julie go now or your grounded for two weeks " warned Julie's Mother , with that Julie left hopelessly riding her blue bicycle to school .
When she stepped in her class at Mr Winston period had already ended, but she was in luck the second period had no teacher . She spent the rest of the day peacefully until the end of her classes where she met her friends in the cafeteria .
" There you are we looked everywhere for you but we couldn't to find you , where were you anyway ? ' Celine questioned with a smile.
" I was looking for you guys "Julie said while sitting down next to Jane who was busy eating french fries , "Hey guys do you remember how and when we got home cause I don't " Julie uttered worriedly .
"Now that you say that I really don't remember how " Celine added with a thoughtful expression .
" Hey me too ! but can you believe that just today morning I discovered a birth mark I didn't know I had before " Jane also added while showing her neck a little bit.
" Wow ! I have the same marks on my neck and I feel a bit tired too "Celine exclaimed , " Even..... even I have....them " Stammered Julie . "You girls have been bitten by Vampires ". James one of Julie's friends whispered in a serious tone.
" Ooooh ! Shut up James "Meriha said annoyed by James words .
" Guys this means we are besties for life , so the Goddess of friends has given us this marks " Jane joyfully stated and the others could only agree with that scenario .
Meanwhile in The V Academy campus
In one of the restricted side of the academy that was surrounded by a knowing forest. Five students stood there while staring at the almost endless forest waiting and listening for any movement that would happen .
" Ooooh ! hunting how I love you , fresh air and most of all the predator and prey game isn't it brother " Zack said ecstatically while staring at Drew .
" Only cowards hunt and thrive on rabbits and crickets " Drew coldly with his hands in his trousers pockets . He walked away deeper into the restricted side of the forest that looked more like the dark woods
" Guys Drew is in the negative side of things today better beware " Max mockingly announced .
" It seems so ! We better keep a distance , remember the last time Drew was in the negative side of things " Michael stated with a distance memory .
"Ooooh yes we do he was locked up in the dungeon for a week with only cabbage soup as food . Am so exhausted with this shit nothing is coming out of this damned forest " Ben cursed .
" Dude your cursing when it's your fault why we're here now , your the one who let all the specimen of the Academy go loose " Michael reminded .
" Now there's where you're wrong , I didn't let those rabbits free it was Drew who told me to do so F. Y . I . " Ben retorted .
" Yeah right ! " Michael mocked . Before the arguments could continue they suddenly heard the rustling of the grass which made each one of them grin .
"Finally it's time for some fun "Max said as he happily went after his prey , and soon after the others too followed .
After a week Julie and her friends got some bad and sad news ,Jane was transferring to another school . "Jane are you..... really transferring ? '. Celine asked with teary eyes .
" Apparently yes am being transferred to some academy in the outskirts of Rekha town , today may be the last day I'll be here "Jane said with a saddened voice "where's Julie ?? " Jane added .
" Oooh she left early cause she had a home emergency "Celine explained while rubbing her tears , " Could you do me a favour and tell her I said goodbye" Jane asked .
" Okay I'll really miss you and your fake Gossips Jane" Celine sobbed while hugging Jane tightly .
" Am sure you will cause I will miss you more " Jane said while crying .
After a while the goodbyes were done and it was time for Jane to go . "Byeeeee! I'll miss you all " Jane shouted as she left .
