I sat down on my seat inside the class, I looked at Ryan seat, it was empty.
I signed . Ryan have been absent in school for a week and I sincerely wished he was fine
“ hey”. Brenda greeted
I looked at her , I never knew when she walked towards me
“ what are you thinking of Alicia?”. She asked . You seem to be lost in thought.
“ Nothing”. I replied, how can I simply tell her I was thinking about Ryan , a guy who I barely know
“ Are you done with your maths assignment?”. She asked smiling mischievously
I gave her a playful glare, I knew she was interested in dubbing from me.
I was about replying her when Ryan walked into the class . He looked more handsome and I noticed he had a new hair style
“ Ryan, Brenda called out excitedly. Where in the world have you been? She asked
There was no response
“ did he just ignore me?”. She asked and moved closer to him
“ Ryan”. She called but Ryan just looked at her and continued with his music.
The whole class suddenly burst into laughter and Brenda walked to her seat obviously embarrassed
I looked at Ryan and I knew immediately something was wrong

“ can you imagine how Ryan ignored me?”. Brenda said as we headed to the cafe during recess, she was obviously angry
I remained quiet and just listened to her
We got to the cafe and met Ryan sitting alone with a drink on his table .
I watched Andra walked towards him and tried engaging him in a friendly talk but he ignored her completely
“ what is wrong with him?”. I thought
I felt his pain without knowing what the pain was.....::

I never wanted to come back to school but mother encouraged me to. I blamed mother for bringing a beast like me to the world, that is who I am , a beast.
I read the book and got to know how my gift works.
They call it gift but I call it a curse..

I had huge thirst for blood and mum helped in quenching the thirst by giving me animal blood
“ it sounds awkward but that is what I drink when I hunger for blood

I was forced to come to school this morning by mother , she helped me with a new hairstyle saying if I looked cuter it will Helo in boosting my esteem
I got to school and all the girls were drooling ..
“ if they knew i was a monster, I bet they would all be scared”.I thought..
I ignored all of them and walked Into my class. Brenda screamed excitedly when she saw me but I ignored her, I was a beast and I was scared of hurting my friends
I sat down on my seat and immediately a headache hit me
“ what is this?”. I asked myself, am I about to turn to a monster again.
The headache soon stopped and I immediately felt relieved..

It was soon time for lunch and I headed to the cafe alone. I ignored all my friends who came to meet me and they stared at me weirdly
I got to the cafe and ordered for a soft drink . I sat down quietly with my earphones on listening to music when Andra walked up to me
“ Hey Ryan”. She greeted , I had to go to the hospital first before coming to school
I stared at her without saying anything
“ so why were you absent in school for a whole week?”. She asked
“ can’t this girl leave me alone”. I thought
“ Ryan , Ryan”. She called , i am talking to you and when she saw I wasn’t ready talking to her she signed I left.
the headache came again and this time , it really hit me very hard
I groaned in pain silently and I felt my eyes changed its colour and it was like all the whole voices were in my head
“ l love him “
“ can this b***h leave our table”
“ I wish I can go home”
“ I can’t wait to bang her this evening”
I looked around obviously scared, I could hear the inner thought of everyone here
The headache soon stopped and the voices also stopped
I looked around and everyone seems to be busy with their stuff except one person.
I turned to meet her gaze and she kept staring at me
“What is wrong with him?, I just wish he is alright”.....
“ did I just read her mind?”. I asked myself. It was obvious she was really worried about me........
