[b]Kate[/b]
Yesterday Night - September 9th, 12:45 am

Kate came over to Zane and hugged him tight. "[b]We'll get through this, I promise[/b]." She rubbed his back gently and bit her lip. Could he go back to his family? Not now. Not until he had control. To tell him this broke her heart. "[b]Not at the moment, no. You can't go back until you learn to control your thirst which takes a long time[/b]." She sighed and ran a hand through her hair. Her brother. Oh God. "[b]We were supposed to meet Xander after. I'm going to text him[/b]." She quickly texted Xander and set hr location on so he could find them.

[b]Fiona[/b]
[b]September 9th - 8:20am[/b]

The reaction from the red head caused her cheeks to burn with humiliation. Was she that hideous? Her eyes brimmed with tears. She felt horrible and wanted to vomit. She said nothing and excused herself without bothering to greet Charlotte. It wasn't as if anyone noticed, anyway. She wasn't well liked here. Fiona ducked her head and made a beeline for the bathroom. On her way, she bumped into someone who grunted at her. She looked up to find it was Derek. Their eyes met; but then his gaze swept over her to presumably Charlotte and the new girl. His eyes lit up and he rushed over. Fiona heard people laughing behind her and ignored it. 

"[b]God, is she still into him?[/b]" Someone laughed, probably a friend of his. [b]"Doesn't she have an older boyfriend?"[/b]
[b]"Probably another loser just like her,"[/b] Another kid laughed derisively. [b]"Or she pays him. Probably that! I don't get why anyone would even want to be around her ugly ass."
"Her only friend is Charlotte but she probably just feels sorry for her." [/b]

More kids joined in but she didn't hear it. Fiona entered the bathroom and sat in an empty stall to cry. School was hell. She wanted to purposely fail everything so she could just drop out and stay at home. Then on the other hand, she wanted ot make her parents proud. Her tears kept coming and she buried her head in her hands.

[b]Derek[/b]

Derek's gaze on Angel was locked in. He could barely remember bumping onto Fiona, or why he felt nauseous with guilt. Charlotte was there to greet her and obviously recognized her too. Thank God Fiona had left. He ran over to her but halted when a moderator came up to her. "[b]Excuse me,[/b]" The woman tapped Angel's shoulder. "[b]But are you familiar with the dress code?[/b]" He watched out of the corner of his eyes as Holly turned to watch too and sighed. 

"[b]Spaghetti-straps are not allowed and neither are open armed clothing. You need to wear a jacket or something over it so it's covered. Unnatural hair colors are not allowed either. Please see the dress code policy and find yourself a jacket and a new hair color[/b]."

[b]"Oh my God![/b]" Derek bellowed at at the top of his lungs. [b]"I can't stand seeing her shoulder! It hurts too much! My eyes are burning! Please take me to the clinic now!"[/b] He began to stumble as if he would faint. One of his friends, Kenneth, caught him and began to fan him.

"[b]Derek my man! Wake up[/b]!" His other friend, Nina, began to do CPR as he fell to the floor (with Kenneth's help). Derek lay limp as if he had truly fainted. "[b]I think we lost him. Rest in peace, Derek."[/b] Kenneth did a sign of the cross to bless him and wiped his eyes as if he had tears.

The moderator looked at him wit ha scowl and sighed. He fought back laughter although others had cracked up. He opened his eyes and stood up with a smirk.

"[b]Detention. All of you, this week[/b]." She left with a glower. Derek snickered and came over to Angel and wrapped his jacket around her. "[b]Here you go, my lady.[/b]" He grinned at Charlotte. "[b]Hey there[/b]." He ruffled her hair gently and watched Jesse beckon her over from the doorway to go to class with him.

Derek's friends muffled their laughter and looked at Derek. He swallowed and looked at Angel intently. [b]"Is that you, Angel?[/b]" He inquired and quivered with excitement almost visibly.
