I must have fallen asleep, because I woke up in the sensory room, laying on a beanbag. I woke up properly and saw Audrey and Vin.

'She's up.'

'Are you OK, Dillon?'

'What? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. What-what happened?'

'You fainted. A doctor came over and said that you needed to rest.' Vin said.

'What time is it?'

'Almost lunch. You wanna sit with us?' Vin offered.

'Wait, what?'

'You wanna sit with us?' Audrey repeated.

'Yeah but, I thought you just hung with me because we sat together.'

'Partially, but also because you're cool and funny and you laugh in the face of danger.' Audrey said, hugging me.

'Also we kinda need a defence.' Vin admitted.

'Really? Against who?'

'My younger sister Viva. She may be younger and shorter, but she's a nightmare. You've probably seen her, that bleach blonde bitch with the NHS specs dressed like a Kardashian. And she always calls herself Stacey Evans, she's so ashamed to be a vampire.'

'What kind of mean is she?' I asked.

'She mainly slushies people. So, you'll know when it's her when you have pink liquid dripping down your face.' Vin checked her watch.

'Speaking of which, you ready to go to the hell that is the Kennedy Prep cafeteria ladies?'

'I'm always up for-' Audrey gagged. 'Mystery meat. More like Misery Meat.'

'I love that song! What about you Dillon?'

'Ew. Gross. Blood. No.' I said.

We laughed and went to the cafeteria.
