THE NEXT DAY, 
I grabbed my journal and my school supplies to get ready for class, we were in biology.

I sat in the back of the class away from everyone, I waved at Carmen who entered late but she ignored me.

"Looks like she doesn't want to talk to you." Malachi snickered

"I didn't even do anything." I sighed

"All you're friends are crybabies," Mak said

✽✽✽

The bell rang and I hurried out of my seat as I saw Carmen walking out the door. "Carmen!" I yelled before she could get farther.

"Yes?"

"I waved at you, are you okay?"

"I just felt like what you did yesterday was unnecessary and childish." She stated

I stared at her in disbelief, "she was being rude first?"

"No she wasn't- I think you were being too sensitive,"

I stared at her in silence, not knowing what to say.

"Look I'm not mad at you, I'm just distancing myself- I hope that's okay?"

"Of course." I sighed

Maybe I was being too sensitive. 

I turned my head to see Sophie talking to Brian and Amy, the popular kids here.

Maybe I should go apologize.

I hunched my bookbag over my shoulder and began walking towards the group that was laughing, their eyes were on me as I got closer.

"Look who's here," Sophie spoke

"Hi guys- uh Brian, how are you?" 

"I'm doing good."

"Anyways Sophie I need to talk to you, in private." I eyed the girl who was crossing their arms in annoyance.

"No."

"Please."

She rolled her eyes "Fine."

Sophie followed me towards another set of lockers, "So I felt bad that I was calling you out your name and I want to apologize."

"Go on."

"And that- you're not a spoiled princess."

"Hm."

"Sorry."

"That apology didn't change anything anyway, I don't really care about what you call me. I'm a self-aware queen." She crossed her arms

"Are we done?" She asked

I walked away without saying anything else to her, she was really asking for it and it was hard to be nice.

"Well okay then!" She Sighs

✽✽✽

I walked into my house and dropped my book bag on the ground, sighing in tiredness.

"How was school?" My mom leaned on the island with her coffee

"Stressful." I went into the fridge and grabbed myself and bottled water.

"Well Dean is coming over for dinner tonight and you're brother is sleeping right now." She states

I nodded my head and went upstairs, I walked into Rafe's room and he wasn't sleeping at all, he was playing on his Nintendo Switch like always. "Well, good evening to you too," I said

"Hey, Goodbye." His eyes focused on the screen the whole time

"Rafe you need to clean your room, it smells like sweaty socks! You got all these clothes on the floor."

"Get out so you don't have to smell it." He replies without looking up at me

I threw a pile of shirts from the floor at his face, "YOU MADE ME DIE!" he yelled

I watched him get up and run towards me, I hurried and went into my room and locked the door. My brother was so crazy about his games but I always found it amusing. I just love irritating my brother.

"You guys playing tag? ouu I wanna play." Milo grinned from behind me

I jumped at his voice, "Why are you in here."

"Rhea? Who are you talking to? Do you have a boy in your room?" Rafe questions behind the door

"No! It was me, look."

I tried to force my voice deeper to match Milo's. "See."

"Don't ever do that again." His voice and steps started to disappear.

I sighed in relief, I could not have my brother knowing about these males in this house. Vampires at that- it would put him in danger. He's just too young to know about them.

"My brother can't know about you guys! not even my mother."  I turned to look at Milo who was smiling.

"Why are you smiling? Did you hear me little bloodsucker?"

"Little? Nothing is little about me and you're just cute when you're mad." He goggles my face.

"Yuck." I walked out of my room as I heard the doorbell rang.

I saw my mom get the door and Dean was reaching to hug her. "Hey honey, hey Rhea." His voice sounded friendlier today.

I noticed Dean trying to rush upstairs, "Honey where are you going?"

"I need to go change out of my work clothes."

"You couldn't do that at your place?" I questioned him as he stared back.

"Rhea." My mom said

"I'm just asking."

"No, I couldn't, I'll be back down." He ran up the steps

"Rhea come help me prep the food."

"I got homework to do real quick."

"Rhea." She eyed me

"Fine."
