Before class ... [Public]

Jacob rolled another paper ball and flicked it toward the empty table in front of him.

VS had finished earlier than expected, so he was alone in the classroom.

Not even the teacher was here yet - it was the first class of VHM of the year.
He jumped as he heard footsteps in the hallway.

- Crap!" he muttered as a pale hand grabbed the handle of the door ...

Zoey trotted into the classroom, a group of unknown girls behind her.
She frowned as she saw Jacob sitting down at one table.

- Hi Jake - I thought you said you had the A timetable?" she asked as she sat next to him.

She flicked a loose strand of hair on her head, and opened her bag, handing Jacob a chocolate bar.

- Want one? Werewolves are supposed to have big appetites, right?" she smiled.

- Some classes are mixed. I guess this is one of them." he smiled.

He took the chocolate bar.

- Sure. Chocolate's welcome at any time of day!" he laughed." So how much do you exactly know about all this? The supernatural, I mean."

- Well the Headmistress told me. At first I didn't believe her. but then she brought in this other guy - I think he was a student, and he turned into a frickin' dog! No offence, Jake." she exclaimed. " But I had to believe her after that, didn't I? So I did some research and had a look at the school website."

She looked around at the group of girls who had walked in with her. One was pale and skinny with black eyes, and was staring at Jacob intently.

- Looks like someone's a vampire." she shuddered and bit into her own chocolate bar.

Jacob turned his head to look at the girls, and shrugged.

- You're going to have to get used to that one. This school may be for "all creatures" but hey there are still some people who hate your guts just 'cause you're a human or a shape-shifter. he sighed.

By the time Zoey had started her chocolate bar, he had already finished his as he stared at the empty wrapper in his hands.
