Sandra I had spent the entire day looking for the perfect outfit to wear on my date with Jake.. actually i wouldn't consider it as a date per day. Just a simple nighout with a friend. Well that's how I saw Jake. I had finally considered him as just a friend even though I didn't like him that much before. I could have ignored him but because of Peter, we became friends. Again, there was a sort of kindness about him. A side that I had found to be likeable... Firstly he was friendly with all the cooking and cleaning staff that worked at the school. Secondly, he ate food that was offered at school even though he could afford to buy a meal at a restaurant. Thirdly, my mom liked him and he was respectful. I put on my new outfit. A black hem tshirt with lace details on the sleeves with a black jeans. My mom helped braid my hair on the side then curled the rest of it. I felt alive. As I was finishing off my makeup, I heard a car park outside the house. I knew by then that Jake had arrived
Peter Night's had passed since I had last seen anything in the mirror. I was still alive. My mouth covered in blood, I had begun to feed on rats to get the protein I really needed. The room was already stinking, no human could be able to survive such a smell but I was able to since I had gotten used to it. I had even begun to make a large scratch on the wooden floor using the zip from my now torn trouser. As a I was scrapping down on the filthy floor, I noticed a light from the corner of my left eye. I looked up and saw light coming through the mirror, I threw everything to the ground then ran towards the mirror to see what was happening. I was shocked when I saw a human hand passing in front of the glass.It looked like that of.. a face appeared finally. It was Jess. "Hello baby! I see you're still alive. " She said. I thought I was probably hallucinating, but no it seemed to real to be an image. It was her. "Are you the one that locked me in here?" I asked. Jess nodded slowly.
PeterFree at last, I ran on the gravel road behind large tall trees. Away from the road. Since it was no longer safe. I could hear the sound of my breath coming out. There were no cars passing by, it was just dark and silent. For the first time in a long time, I feared the dark. I refused to look behind me. All I could think about was making it to my house and seeing my parents again. I ran continuously refusing to stop. Until suddenly, I heard a car come behind me. I was certain it was Jess and so I tried to increase my pace but fall to the ground instead. I heard the car park behind me still. The lights flashed my way. "Hey, wait. You don't have to be scared. I can drive you to your destination. It's dangerous out here." Said a voice. And it didn't sound anything like that of Jess. I got up from the ground and turned to look and saw a male shadow standing there. I couldn't see who it was since the lights were bright and in my eyes. "Their following me. Please get me out of here."
Sandra The night had been beautiful and full of surprises. I hadn't expected Jake to do all that he did but I had known for a while that he liked me. Infact the only reason I knew was because of Peter. If only he were here. We would laugh out loud about this very night. My heart was filled with joy as soon as I had finished taking a hit night shower. I put on my gown and rushed to my room. But the door was not closed anymore, it was slightly opened. I saw my mother sitting there on my bed. Her eyes gazing on the family photo album. She wiped her eyes from the tears that ran down her cheeks. "Mom, why are you crying?" Was the first question that popped into my head at the time. She looked at me and a smile covered her face. "You're so grown up. I can't believe I really did it." She said. Trying to hold back the tears. I felt slightly awkward. And clueless as to how to respond. "Yeah I'm grown, is that a reason to cry or did something bad happen at the hospital?" I pondered abou
SandraFitting into Cornerstone high was never a problem. Everyone knew me before I could even introduce myself. I received endless smiles from people I never even knew. While some showed me hate. I got all the publicity I never wanted, all because a famous boy kissed me on the lips. My favourite crush, a famous pop singer named Hayden. The beeping alarm sounded, I realized that was in dreaming. Cornerstone high was an expensive school. I could never afford it. The tuition fees cost the same as my mothers salary. Which is very little. As for Hayden, well he's every teenager's fantasy. Almost 80% of all the girls in my class wish they could meet him face to face and get a kiss or better yet his number. But that's never going to happen. Fantasies are a curse nothing more or so my mother would say. As I was still in my thoughts, I was alarmed by a sudden noise on my window, I thought it was probably a bird. The noise continued, thats when I became suspicious. I realized that the nois
Sandra Another day of highschool hell had arrived. Waking up on a Monday morning was always a dtruggle. You'd swear I was a knight wagging war towards another land. In this case the land would be my bed. I stood outside the house, waiting patiently for Peter to show up but he took longer than expected. I think he woke up later than me. I began to walk to school since I didn't want to be late for class. It was not too long of a distace but I had no choice but to increase my pace. While walking, i heard the sound of a car beep from behind me. I was very certain it wasn't Peter. He didn't like the beep of a car. I continued with my journey, daring not to turn my gaze to see who was making that continuous beeping sound. I then stopped walking to allow the noisy car to pass. I turned my gaze to look but was surprised to see that it was my classmates. The twins and their shared boyfriend Tyler. The Finley sister's threw raw eggs on my face, while Tyler the drove the orange Ranger
On Fridays, classes ended early and sometimes pupils just sign the register and sit there doing nothing. I didn't see a point of going to school on that specific day. And so I would study in therary with a tutor helping me with my lesson's. When I was done studying I called Paul to come and train me. He did come and did not ask any questions since he knew that I was free on Mondays. A timetable set by me. "Your aims are not as hard today like every other day." Said Paul. I felt worried. "I must have not eaten anything. My limbs do feel strange." Paul analysed me. "Its called having a love interest on someone. Is this about that Sandra girl again?" I was caught. He knew me well. "I can't stop thinking about her." "Are you seeing her?" "Of course not. But I will very soon." I boldly stated as if knowing the future. Paul shook his head slightly. He sighed. "If I were you, I'd forget about her. You're a werewolf and she is human." I laughed hilariously. "I've dated many hum
I entered the house to find it empty. I noticed a note pasted on the refrigerator from my mother, that she had to leave for work and would return again tomorrow. Being a nurse, meant working long hours, sometimes with extra shifts. I felt slightly bored and regretted arriving at home early. I could have stayed out a bit longer. I thought to myself. Sigh. I began to undress till I was only left with only my purple under garment. I threw my body on the bed and laid there for a while. A smile covered my face. I felt happy. As if I needed to go out. I could only see Jake's face whenever I shut my eyes tight. And imagined myself kissing him. Suddenly there was a loud ringing on my cellphone. It was Peter. "Hey! Where are you? I passed by your house. Your mom said you were with Jake." He said. I giggled. "Yes. I was with him" "Did he finally confess his feelings, is that why you're giggling?" I quickly grabbed a mirror and realised I looked like a hypocrite. Was I lying to myself whe

SandraThe morning was silent. Peace covered the streets of Cornerstone. I wanted badly to skip achool for at least five days. I knew that the Finley sister's would be waiting for me at school. Waiting eagerly for my blood. My heart throbbed with each movement. I had left the house earlier than usual, unwilling to go with Jake. I didn't want him to protect me or fight my battle. I was ready to face my fears even if it meant I had to defend myself again. But what triggered that was the unfair treatment I had received from the principal. I wanted justice. I wanted to fight. Scared as I was. All the learner's students gathered to near the assembly hall for the day's announcements. Mr Burgess pulled out a key from his pocket but was surprised to see that the door was actually not locked as he thought it was. He opened it wide for the learners to enter. Those that were at the front, standing next to the principal began to scream. "What's the meaning of this?" Mr Burgess asked. He seemed
Sandra When my class for the day had ended, I walked past the principals office to place my books in the locker. However I was surprised to notice that his office was empty. There was no hint at all of the Finley sister's and their looser boyfriend Tyler. As I reached for the locker I heard someone clearing his voice, I turned to look and saw the principal, tall as he was staring right at me. His eyes slightly hazed inside his spectacles. "Mr Burgess. You scared me." I said. The principal did not seem to hear me. "You are late for detention. Follow me to my office!" He shouted. I was surprised. "No sir. I think you are mistaken. I did nothing wrong. The Finley sister's are the ones who deserve to be punished. Not me!" I cried out. "You are late for detention. Follow me to my office!" The principal repeated as if a recorded tape, continuously repeating the same message. I continued to defend my innocence but the principal did not listen to me nor did he try to reason. He just
SandraA week had passed since Peter died. But it felt like it happened a day ago. It still didn't feel real. It was like a bad nightmare and all I wanted was to be woken up from it. Had my mother not say anything to help lift my spirits, I would have not even gone to school. Having her by my side was exactly what I had needed at the time. I dragged my feet to my locker and pulled out a geography textbook. Before I could even close the locker, I saw three shadows behind me. I could tell who they belonged to because of the smell of their deodorant."What do you want?" I asked. Anne aggressively grabbed me by the hand and pushed me to the locker, her sister took the opportunity and pinned me there with her muscular athletic body. Tyler was a distance away, looking out for any teacher's, as he always did. "Can't you see I'm in a bad shape?" I asked. The Finley sister's began to laugh. "Remember when you embarrassed us in front of the entire school?" Anne asked. Her breath smelled
PeterFive days had passed since I had been locked up in this dark room. I hadn't had a bath nor had I eaten anything. I had thought about grabbing one of the rats and eating it but that looked too disgusting even just by thinking about it. I decided to focus my energy on getting up from the floor and if possible take a few workouts to ensure that I had enough energy to try and escape the house. Unfortunately there were no windows, nor were there any doors. I tried to remember what really happened the night I disappeared and the events prior. I rubbed my neck slowly and realised that the pain that I had been feeling had finally left me. Memories began to flood into my mind. Jess had given me a ring as a gift, but it carried something in it that made me moody all the time. And Jake was the one that helped me realize that it was wrong for me and took it out. I felt better. I began to feel angry, the thoughts surrounding Jess disgusted me. After her confession, I became a victim of an a
Peter The room was cold and dark, the ceiling was black as if it had burned, the walls were covered in ash, the atmosphere covered with a burning smell and something rotten. The floor from where I had been laying was full of dust and rats passing by. I couldn't decipher if what I was in a dream or whether this was my reality. I looked at my clothes, they were dirty as well as torn. My knees were covered in scratches, so was my body. I suddenly felt some heat and aching all over my body. Fortunately there was a mirror in the room. No bed, no chair, no blankets, just a mirror. I slowly walked towards it. My body still in pain. I lifted my eyes to my reflection and saw the horror that I was in. I looked awful. Bruises were covering my entire body. Blood had left an ugly stain all over my clothing. What had happened to me I wonder. Because of the continuous pain that seemed not to want to leave me, I realised that I was not in a dream but was in a true nightmare. Everything was real. But
