Vampires Will Never Hurt You

'Zoey, I really should be getting home. It's getting too light,' I whispered to my best friend. 'Plus, it's the opening of the new vamp school. I want to get in.'

'Okay, I understand. Want walking home?' Zoey answered back, not really paying attention.

'Zoey, it's up the street. Not far is it? You coming?'

'Okay, coming.' She stood up, her blond hair falling in her face.

The sun was rising. I started panicking and ran as quick as I could, dragging Zoey along. She was half asleep and kept yawning. I didn't stop.

We got there just before the sun came up. I hoped my parents wouldn't tell I'm gone.

'There you are Helena!'

My mother, Hunter, ran out the door. Of course they'd know I'd been gone, they're vampires, they're awake all night. Duh.

'Where the hell have you been?'

'A party!' Zoey giggled tiredly. I glared at her.

'Helena, you don't go out without my permittion! Your dad has been worried sick!'

'I'm going to bed. Wake me up at 7. That's when the vampire school opens.' I rushed upstairs without another word.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Helenaa. Helena? HELENA!' My brother Liam screamed at me. 'Mother told me to wake you. Something to do with that new school?'

I yawned. 'MmmHmm.'

'Get moving.' He rooted through my wardrobe and threw my best victorian dress on my bed.

I was ready when the sun had set. 'Liam, would you drive me there please?'

'Fine.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Application please.' the receptionest held out her hand. I passed her it, yawning. I had been stood there at least 15 minutes.

'Your dorm is M17.'

'What does M stand for?' I asked, curious.

'Mixed Gender.'

'Right. G is girls and B is boys?'

'Mmm. Off you go now,' she made shooing movements.

I found M17 without a problem. I slammed the door shut and nearly stepped on a boy sat in the corner. He had longish black hair and hazel eyes with red eyeliner underneath them. He had an emotionless face.

'Hey, why are you sat randomly in the middle of the room?' I said calmly. Okay, more annoyed than calm.

He didn't say anything, though he frowned a bit.

'Are you okay? I'm Helena.'

'Frank,' He muttered. 'And I thank you not for tripping over me.'

'You shouldn't have been sat in the middle of the room!'

Frank didn't reply. He stood up and walked into the boys bedroom. I started to follow him, but he slammed the door shut on my face.

'Rude!' I muttered to myself.

'Can all students please go to hall 1 at 8:30. All students at hall 1 at 8:30. Thank you!' An announcement.

Well, gave us time to sort out our stuff.
