Adora's POV

I'm jotting something down from the board when I feel a constant poking at my side. Annoyed I turn to the source to see my bestfriend Nuri Akiyama poking me with her mechanical pencil.

"Will you stop poking me" I say through clenched teeth. My eyes watch the teacher up front making sure she didn't hear me.

"Just tell me if you're going to the party tonight. I heard the whole school is practically going" she whispers. Her long dark hair swayed side to side, her almond shaped eyes were wide with mischief.

Nuri was known for her wild personality. Trouble was her middle name and for some strange reason I always ended up in her mess. Like the time she had said we were going to the park but instead we ended up pouring fish guts in Aiden Thomas's pool.

"I can't my mother wants me to watch Amelia" I say turning back in my seat. For the rest of the class time Nuri kept poking me resulting in us getting another detention slip.

When the bell rang we quickly packed up our things. We walked slowly stopping at our lockers. "Ugh this is like the third time you've watched your little sister. Why can't one of your maids look after her"? Nuri groaned slamming her locker shut.

I placed my books in my locker taking only the ones I would need for the rest of the day. "You know Amelia is different.... she needs special care". I frown closing my own locker.

Amelia had been born deaf just like their mother. Even though she was a pure blooded vampire her growth development had been slow. Amelia was unable to speak and used sign language to communicate. She was also very timid making it hard for her to trust people.

"Well it looks like you'll have to go without me. I'm sure Lauren will probably go with you". I say as we make our way to lunch, the cafeteria was crowded as students stood on the line to get lunch.

I purchased a bottle of o negative blood milk along with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I waited for Nuri to grab her food before we made our way to our regular table. "I wonder what I should wear. This is supposed to be the biggest party of the year" Nuru says excitedly.

I shook my head with a small grin. "You said that last year" I teased sipping on my blood milk. I looked at the enormous amounts of water bottles she purchased. Nuri was a mermaid so she was constantly drinking water so that she wouldn't become too dehydrated.

"Well I mean it this time. I mean this is our junior year! We've got to go all out, speaking of which isn't your brother supposed to be coming home"? My face turns serious as I process her question.

My heart ached a little at the thought of Wesley. I hadn't seen him for a year and when I reached out to him so many times he never answered. Maybe he had seen me as a burden and he was probably glad to have moved away.

"Yes actually he's coming in two days. And he isn't actually my brother" I say taking a bite out of my sandwich. I watch her furrow her eyebrows with interest.

"All I care about is if he is hot" she winks making me fake gag. Nudging me playfully we continue to chatter when the bell rings signaling the end of lunch. We go our separate ways as I had computer science while she had history.

The rest of the day goes on smoothly. Thankfully I was able to switch my detention day due to me having to rush home to Amelia. Packing my things up I rush out of school before quickly racing home.

Thanks to my vampiric speed I made it home in ten minutes. When I entered our large house I could see one of our maids struggling to calm Amelia down. "What are you doing! You should have waited until I was home"! I roared in anger grabbing Amelia in my arms.

She instantly calms down. Relaxing in my arms her face was red and blotchy from her crying. The maid apologizes profusely before I dismiss her. I walk over to the living room area setting Amelia down on the couch.

I watch as her small hands squished together signing the word milk. I immediately go to the kitchen fixing her a bottle of milk. I hand her the pink polka dot sippy cup before taking out my homework.

After she had her milk I knew it would knock her out for her afternoon nap. I was in the middle of my essay when pain stared erupting from my eye. I immediately called one of the maids to grab my eye drops.

The pain was so excruciating it made me feel nauseous. My eye began to throb painfully causing my head to pound. I held a hand to my weak eye only able to see white spots, my hand shakily grabbed onto the bottle of eye drops from the maid.

I looked up towards the ceiling dropping three drops into my eye. It burned like a bitch but soon the pain dissipated. The new drops given to me by my doctor seemed to be working but my eyesight didn't seem like it would be coming back anytime soon.

I closed my eyes resting my head against the sofa. Every now and then I checked on Amelia whose soft snores could be heard. I slept for what felt like an hour when I heard the soft whisper of voices and a tiny hand touching my hair.

I woke up to see both my parents back from their meeting. Amelia was now wide awake, her tiny hand petting my head. "How long was I asleep"? I ask sitting upright. I grabbed Amelia in my arms, instantly cuddling against me.

"The servants said you slept for a good two hours. Have you been studying late again"? My mother said signing as well for Amelia, her face set in a frown.

"You know how important it is for me to get that scholarship". I say with a frown. My dream was to go to the best academy in the state Village Dance Academy. I wanted to pursue ballet and the only way to do it was to get good grades and obtain a pristine image.

Although getting into detention wasn't helping my case.

"We know sweetheart. We just want you to take it easy. As of matter of fact your mother and I... we want to discuss a few things with you" my father says with a serious expression.

I sit up straighter causing Amelia to whine in my arms. She climbs out of my lap to head towards my mother. My father clears his throat before continuing.

"As you may know... Wesley is coming home in two days time. That being said your mother and I.... we will not allow any relationship....of the... intimate means". My father says awkwardly causing me to squirm in my seat.

"Dad you have nothing to worry about... besides Wesley's like...my brother. It would just be weird" I say with a look of disgust. My father sighs in relief pulling Amelia into his arms.

"We just wanted to have a talk with you. You are now sixteen... you know to use protec-"

"YES....please mom do not finish your sentence"! I beg as my parents laugh at my embarrassment. I run out of the room as my parents laughter echoes throughout the mansion.
