It was monday
Irene williams woke up before her alarm did
She was the kind of person that sleep through noise or rain, and wake up through her alarm or her parents banging on her door but this morning she opened her eyes sharply
Pale light crept through the window, her ceiling fan is turning slowly and her school bag is sitting where she dropped it last night
Her heart was heavy, she sat up slowlyslowly, waiting for dizziness instead he smelt something metallic, sharp and unfamiliar
She looked down, her bedspread was clean but her hand had faint red stains along her fingers, it is a blood
Her stomach twisted "no! ", she whisphered
Memories pushed at the back of her mind-an alley, a shadow laying close with cold hands, but every time she tries to focus her head throbbed and the slipped away
She swunged her legs off the bed before her feet touches the floor
She then walked to the mirror and stood there, like a robot
The girl staring back at her in the mirror does not look like her, her skin looked clearer, she pressed her palm against the mirror, grounding herself
"You're fine"she told herself
She went straight to the bathroom then she turned on the tap, her hand tightened around the edge of the basin
She splashed water on her face and looked up again, for a sec she thought her reflection smiled when she did'nt
She stepped back again and she took her bath, after taking her bath she wrapped herself with a towel
Then she dressed in a jeans, hoodie and a sneakers, her body felt light , oh she's hungry
She then grabbed her bag and she headed to the door, trying to ignore the strange pulse running throufh her vien
The house smelt like a coffee and toast, she went to sitting room the morning sunlight streaming through the window
Her mother erica williams place plates on the table, her smile bright and calm, completely unaware of inside irene
Her father was reading newpaper muttering about traffic as he sipped his hot coffee
"Morning, irene", her mother said cheerfully "sleep well? "
She nooded, forming a smile that didn't reach her smile"yes... Fine"
She slid into the dinner chair, the smell of egg and toast made her stomach twist in a strange way
Breakfast in awkward silence, once she finished eating she stood up and bid her parent good bye before she went out
As she stepped outside, the sun brushed her skin gently, it did'nt burnt, it didn't hurt
She wasn't a human again
The moment irene williams steps through entrance of door of her school, the force hit her like a physical force
Shoe scraping, laughing echoing and voice overlapping
Her breath caught when she heared her nama"irene! "
It is mia, her best friend, jogging toward her with usual messy ponytail and braight smile
"You dispearred yesterday! I text you like ten times", mia said corcerning
Irene tried to smile back"sorry i wasn't feeling well"
Mia grabbed her hand and the electric jolt caught her again before irene moved back quickly
Mia blinked"are you okay? "
"Sorry"irene said again trying to be soft this time around"just... headache"
"Do you hear about the transfer student?ia asked as they walked down the hallway
"No", irene replied, she had not actually see tbe guy but she can smell him
" Apparantly, he is in senior clasess"mia continued
Irene froze mid step as she finished her sentence
Across the hallway, leaning against a wall, stood a boy that she had not seen before
With dark hair and pale skin , he lifted his eyes up and their eyes met
He wasn't human and she knew it, the recognition slammed into her chest before she could think
His head titled slightly-curiosly, like he was studying her, like she knew her before
Her heart started pounding before something beside her responsed "no fear"
Mia waved a hand in front of her face "you okay?,you're staring"
Irene tore her gaze awayaway"i'm fine"sge lied to her friend but she could feel his eyes her on
It was first period already in irene's school and the teacher droned on about historical resolution but irene couldn't concentrate infact she didn't understand a dawn thing
"Ouch", someone shouted from the back of the class
" Miss young are you alright? ", the teacher asked
" I injure myself", Ava young one of the class bullies replied pained
"Will you go to the clinic? ", the teacher said
Then two students went to her to check her injure
As blood rushs out from Ava's injury irene's throat burned
She pressed her tongue to her teeth and her teeth felt sharp like razor
The metallic scent drifted toward her again before irene knew it her vision blurred red, the hunger rose fast within her
Her chair scraped the floor as she stood abruptly in anger and hunger
"I need to go see the nurse", irene said slowly
The teacher frowned" Miss williams the class just started"
"I need to go", her voice came out louder the first, almost not hers
The room felt silence"you can go", the teacher approved
Irene went out of the class as fast as she could and she ran quickly to the nearest bathroom, grinfing the walls, her breathing was uneven
"Control it", she whispered, her hunger pulse in waves
Irene was in the bathroom wondering what is wrong her when the bathroom door and the stall door cast a shadow then a voice speak from the other side
"You're handling it badly", the voice said
Irene's blood turned to ice before the transfer student show his face
"You should learn how to mind your business", she said trying to keep her tone steady
" Tell me", the transfer student asked
"Leave me alone, okay! ", irene said
" Answer me this is serious", the new student said
"What? ", irene said confusely
His gaze turned to her neck" Who turned you? "
