"I should go home." I said. Klaus stopped talking to the person on the phone, and looked at me. "I already checked, but the only thing I could find was the file."

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yes." I lie with perfection. He looks at me for a while, and then looks at the file that I found. I must admit, it's intimidating to lie in front of a High-Class vampire. They have an unbelievable amount of wisdom and experience, so I need to watch myself.

I want to run away from him.

And my prayers were answered favourably since he started walking out of the library.

I was dropped to my house, and it was almost evening. Waving goodbye, I headed inside, and was greeted by my landlord, Mr. Smith. His wife died last year, so he takes care of his 2 kids alone, and looks like he is 25 years old. Even though he is over 30.

His wife was a kind hearted woman who made my rent cheaper compared to the others, and Mr. Smith still gives me the discount. In exchange of taking care of his kids sometimes.

"Long time no see Jane." He said, with a wink.

"Tsk." I scoff, too lazy to answer in words. Yes, he was one of those people who knew my real personality. He just chuckled and patted my head.

"Ya didn't give the rent for 3 months. Ya remembuh yeah?"

"Oh ya."

"So if ya gimme the rent by t'morrow, I just might letcha eat the delicious apple pie I'm plannin' on makin' t'morrow."

"OK deal." I said immediately, and grinned at him. I was planning to give it today, but I want the pie and all. I'll just give it all by tomorrow. "Where are the kids?"

"They chillin' inside. Coz apparently youth ain't only 'bout studies." He said, rolling his eyes. I nod with a stern expression, understanding the wisdom behind those words.

"Anyways, I gotta go upstairs and live my youth too. Buh bye monsieur." I saluted, and he saluted back at me with a smile. I jog towards the elevator and press 2.

I rush towards my room and immediately collapse. Its been so long since I've rested properly. And my stress has been building up tremendously. Tremendous enough to start bullying my teacher.

My phone buzzes, and I answer the call.

"Hmm?" I said, too lazy to form words.

"Jane?" An unknown voice replied.

"Hmm. Um?" I continue conversing with sounds.

"You didn't save my number? Actually don't you recognise my voice?"

"Nu." I briefly said, too lazy to also check the name of the caller.

"For real?" He said, sighing. "Im your History teacher. Why are you always absent?"

"Ah." I sit upright, and focus on the conversation. "I was too lazy."

Shit, focus! I slap myself, and the impact almost sounded painful.

"Seriously? And I think I heard something."

"I couldn't wake up today because I was too tired. You see, the school is pretty far away from my place. It takes too long for me to reach there and I get tired." I said hurriedly.

"Oh. Then why don't I help you?"

"Excuse me?"

"Maybe I could help you search for a house nearer to school."

"No thanks." I said. They would never give me as much discount as I get here. "I will be fine."

"Is that so?" He asked. "Well then, I want to see you come to school tomorrow."

"Alright." I said, sighing.

He abruptly cut the phone, and I sigh again. I am so stressed. I need to go bully someone. Uggggggh.

Why does he cut the phone so abruptly? I need to tell him to stop that.

Should I study? I look at my table, and think.

Nah. My mom isn't here anymore. So I can do whatever I want to do.

I grab a glass of water and have one of those glowy pills.

I lie down on my bed, and try to sleep.

"You look ded gurl." Anna says flatly, munching on her fries during lunch break.

"I do?" I ask, surprised. Can she even see me properly? I AM wearing an oversized hoodie and all.

"Those dark circles make you look so much gloomier than you actually are." She said.

I chuckle because I have no idea what to reply to that. I don't like it when it's just Anna and I. Brittany talks a lot, so it's more comfortable that way. And Anna is the savage and blunt girl who never thinks twice before saying something.

"So, how's life?" I tried to start a conversation.

"As usual, a fucking bitch. Been a while since I got laid." She replies. Did I mention that she curses a lot?

"Damn sad. Ever considered dating Jace?" I asked, cuz why not.

"Huh? What the actual fuck are you saying?" She laughs. "He is like a brother to me omg. I'd rather eat a tub of paint in one go than fuck him."

"Wew."

"Yeah." She scoffs. "Why would you even say that? He already has a girlfriend."

How can girls be so dense. Just how. "I don't think he does."

"He said he likes this girl named Lucy or something."

As far as I remember, he mentioned he liked Emily Harrold. She is in my class. That's why I remember her name.

I kinda ship Anna with Jace.

"Rather, I think you should go out with him. You know, Jane and Jace? Lol." She said, laughing with a fry dangling from her mouth.

Why am I friends with such a retard?

I just grab her plate of fries and start munching on them.

And immediately, Jace comes to our table and steals the plate from me. I just glare at him, which he ignores. Probably because he can't see my face.

We don't exactly know why we call him Jace, but his name is Julius Anderson, and pronounced as Yulius. His hair was a black, curly mess. It was cute, but not for me. He had your typical dark brown, droopy eyes and a sharp nose. His body is also pleasing to the eye.

But, he is a weirdo.

"Man, Fred's socks stink." The first words Jace utter when he came and sat with us. I just pity Anna sometimes.

"Um, if you wouldn't mind me asking, why would you know that?" I ask, my curiosity getting the best of me.

"Oh, becuz he is my best friend." He replies. I wonder if that answers my question.

"Huh? We should smell our best friend's socks?" Anna said, dumbfounded.

Oh my God someone kill me.
