Liam Edward asks me about my eyes,
repeatedly that seems to go on in an endless cycle.

"Are you eyes seriously red like Danielle said? Let me see, and I'll stop asking" Sean pleads.

I just stare at him with an emotional expression.

"Danielle says there red like a vampires. If you have red eyes, that's okay. It's kinda hot, I love vampires."

He reaches for my brown contacts. Panicking, my natural instincts grab ahold of his hand rapidly for him to twist and flinch under the act.

I'm bending his hand, then, hear a loud screech, "Fuck!" Sean recoils in shock, massaging his bruised arm I'd grappled tightly seconds earlier, and glares ferociously at what I'd done.

I release him. But I run, so nobody can try to take my contacts again. Lunch was over for me, and more than likely, over for Sean too, not that I ate anyway. Danielle is the girl who had caught me in the restroom while I was cleaning my contacts. I wear them to cover my natural vibrant red irises, because red eyes are supernatural. I wouldn't want anyone to second guess about me being anything but human. So, when Danielle saw me she immediately asked me about my eyes.

"Whoa, let me see your eyes," she had asked curiously when directly looking in my eyes.

I kept my eyes down and scrubbed the contact in my palm in front of the restroom mirror, but when I wouldn't answer her she put her hands on my shoulder and tried to turn my body around so I would face her. I've killed people before and had people try to kill me. So, I had immediately shoved her away  Inhumanly quickly and hard so, She stumbled and hit the floor. I knew she wasn't dangerous because she's human plus, I've had more than my share of danger, she's no threat.

"What's your problem?" She spat then eyed me, her anger turned into disgust.

"What is seriously up with your eye you freak!"

I turn back to the mirror and put my contact in then exit the restroom. I had left her on the cold,hard tiled restroom floors.

I decided to go to the gym since, after lunch I have that class anyway, it calms me and reminds me I'm not like everybody else who has to build up there body and waste energy, and time, when, It takes me seconds with no waste of breath, or sweat. Being Inhuman has it perks especially when you're a vampire blood sucker with supernatural speed and strength. When, I run with them I have to hold back to contain all my rapid speed when I run. When humans touch me I have to contain my strength to myself so I don't damage there delicate skin cells because they could possibly die since, there so fragile. It also has its pros, it's pros and cons already have it faults. Humans bring a scent of blood, just like sharks I can smell blood from miles away but, it's hard from me to resist to kill. I get tired if I go weeks without hunting and I could starve if I don't keep myself fed. The scent of blood is intoxicating and takes over my body with the feel of need since bloods a necessity to live for me. I can hear every thought, every pump of blood in there heartbeat, and every breathe they inhale and exhale. I don't find pleasure or thrive in life with regular food. The taste isn't so pleasant for me, I could vomit from it since, it's not healthy for me. If I have 'human' food like steak I eat it raw so, I then can benefit from it, when it's cooked the bloody mess of it disappears, and it's then beneficial for human kind. Regular foods that foul humans up weakens my fangs, that I have to hide with a half smile, with a full smile I could set off an alarm with them, its a red-flag to humans here. I need blood to grow out my fangs and become stronger and have more muscle then I already have. Lunch is officially over for everyone in the high school so, break times over, time for the humans. "Everyone do 3 laps around the gym" Mr. Jones says after he blows the whistle. The class starts running and complaining. We get to choose our classes, well, the ones we want the most and least. So, the majority of people here obviously didn't apply for this and consider it torture, while, I on the other hand am ready to release some of my skills, of impossibly fast running. I'm about to start doing my laps when Mr. Jones grabs my shoulders lightly.

"Ashlynn Adele Thorn, no lapping around today for you" he declares.

I make a confused face and raise my eyebrow. "What?! Why?!" I say angered.

"You're needed at the principals office for injuring two students" he says crossing his arms.

"Who are the students?" I say in an annoyed tone of voice.

"Liam Edward and Danielle White" he says

"Oh, great" I say sarcastically.

"See you later, clearly not today doing laps and beating the other students time." He says chuckling. "Don't run to hard and make yourself out of breathe. You are my fastest runner, stay out of trouble" He says smiling.

"Will do coach!" I say winking then turning around and walking to the office.

Me and the coach are best friends, he is always giving other students a head start when competing against me but, they never win. So, it's true I am the best, and he thinks I work too hard so I don't do much in his class but run laps and take what he calls 'necessary'  breaks. In that meantime, I sketch drawings of eyes. My hands also go fast alining with my speed in my legs so, it doesn't take long to sketch detailed, realistic eyes. I walk at the slow pace that I'm not used to, and I see principle Felix.

"Come in Miss Thorn" he says referring-to his office.

I sit while he pushes the door closed.

"I've gotten a report that you supposedly, pushed Danielle White in the bathroom. Causing her to tumble on the floor tiles, and another that you bent Liam Edwards arm, is that true" he says strictly

"Yes" I say.

"detention today," he says satisfied.

"Alright," I say, leaving the office. I don't mind a little detention because I don't have anything better to do, but I don't want to waste my time when I could be doing more pleasurable things in life.
