The next day was Saturday. Dina and some of her classmates had extra hours, and only they and the teacher were at school.
Dina woke up that morning, had breakfast, got herself ready, then headed to class. When she arrived, the classroom was offly unwelcoming.
"Ew! Are you on your transformation?" Screamed Emma in disgust.
"Ekh! You look hideous! Why do you even show up at this time of the month?"
Careless as she was, Dina ignored her completely. She took her seat, brought her books out, and placed them on her table. Sitting behind her, the girls were eating her with their stares, fuelled with hate.
Dina's transformation form wasn't as pretty as the other girls'. Her right eyeball was completely black with a red pupil in the middle, and her body was covered with dark smoke making her look like a walking storming cloud. After a little while, the teacher came. The moment he entered the classroom, Dina's look caught his attention. It was the first time he'd ever seen a transformation like hers.
"Interesting." He thought to himself, then said, "Good morning class. My name is Rain Vrochi, your teacher for the time being. Mr. Brown will be absent today for some...well... business of his own. For that, I'll be his replacement. And I hope to be a good one too." He smiled and then started the session.
After two hours, the class was over. The girls gathered their books and prepared themselves to leave.
"Girls! Is it only my imagination, or is this teacher so hot!" Commented Emma.
"Oh my God! I thought so as well!" Answered the other girls.
Dina heard their whispering and looked at the teacher.
She observed him as he wiped the whiteboard. Emma saw her as she watched Rain with admiration. Disgusted, she kicked her chair making her flinch. The teacher turned his head as he heard the noise but found the girls silent, so he brought his attention back to the board. Emma, then slowly walked towards Dina and leaned closer to her.
"What are you looking at, freak!" She whispered.
Dina remained silent.
"You think a man as hot as Mr. Vrochi would be into a burning trash can like you?"
The other girls quietly laughed.
"Not even a trash can would be into you!" She mocked then walked back to her friends.
"I wish he was our teacher for the rest of the year!" Said one of the girls.
"If that happens, I'm never skipping my writing classes again!" Emma laughed.
Dina rolled her eyes then looked back up to find the teacher looking at her. The moment their eyes met, they quickly looked away.
Dina heated up from the situation, and her cheeks went red. She feared somebody seeing her, so she decided to leave.
At the door, Emma's backpack slipped from her hand. Unfortunately, Dina wasn't paying attention and accidentally stepped on it.
"Oh my God! Be careful you freak!" She shouted as she aggressively pushed Dina by the shoulder, making her fall to the floor.
"This backpack is worth your entire life! That is if you even are worth a life!"
"Hey! Stop that!" Warned the teacher as he walked towards them.
"Don't worry, Mr. Vrochi. This thing feels nothing, literally. Here look!"
She kicked her in the stomach with a smirk on her face.
"Hey! Enough!" The teacher pushed Emma away.
"Ugh! Don't push me! Ekh! All this is your fault, you freak! No wonder your mother left you!" She grabbed her backpack, dusted it off, then turned away. Suddenly, as she reached the door, she felt something holding her by the calf. She looked down to find herself tied with strings of smoke. She followed them with her eyes and stopped when spotting the source. In pure horror, Emma dropped her backpack as she froze in place. With her eyes wide open, she observed Dina's thick smoke surrounding her with a bunch of strings swinging in the air. Dina was enraged, and all she had in mind was cutting Emma's head off of her body. As her vision blurred, Nightmare slowly came out of her back. Its head popped out first with its long tongue sticking out of its mouth and its set of teeth on its face, then its full body stood high with many long arms and claw-looking hands coming out. Finally, as it formed its nightmarish full existence, it loudly growled with rage, shaking the whole room.
"UGH!!" Everyone screamed while closing their ears.
Dina stood still while her right eye shone red, bloody red, and stared dead into Emma's eyes.
"What on God's earth..." Mumbled the teacher as he slowly backed away. The girls screamed their lungs out from the terrors they had encountered and sprinted out of the classroom.
Emma, on the other hand, was too stunned to move a muscle. Her legs had failed her, forcing her to face a living nightmare as it slowly stretched its arms toward her with sharp slicing claws. She shook in fear and her face rained with sweat. Her heartbeats were loud enough for her to hear, and her heart almost broke her chest bones as it beat with force. While her eyes watched the claws growing near her, her faith had abandoned her. All that remained was surrender.
