Chapter 1: A New… Beginning?
"Well, well, well... Who do we have here?" A student towering over my desk drawled out, a sick gleam in his eyes as he stared down at me. I glanced up at him and noted the scent he was emitting, he was a dragon.
I let out a slow breath as I shifted in my seat, I had prepared myself for an encounter like this throughout the night, whereby I had stayed awake throughout, being plagued by nervousness over resuming in this school today.
I already knew I was gonna attract attention as soon as I stepped foot into the school... because, that was something I've always been able to do without even trying, and I hated that about me so much, especially right now, because unnecessary attention is the last thing I need in my life in this entire situation.
A second student appeared at the side of the first student who was still towering over my desk, he slung his arm over the dragon's shoulders before his attention settled on me at full force. This new arrival was a vampire, if the tip of his teeth peeking from his mouth wasn't indicative enough, the paleness of his skin along with the burnt scent all vampires possess.
Because I was still yet to respond, the dragon slammed his hand down on my desk, jostling my pens and pencils and making them spill over the desk. I cursed in my mind as I slowly glanced up until I was staring up at the two students.
I slowly cleared my throat and my skin began to prickle because I could feel the rest of the class staring at me right now. The scent of their curiousity was strong in the air.
"Uh, I... I..." I began, unsure of what I was supposed to say.
That was another thing which I had carefully rehearsed throughout the night, but now, my mind was suddenly blank.
The dragon and Vampire exchanged a look and then they both burst into laughter, and in no time, the entire class was laughing.
