Fangtastic Diaries

It was the first day of school, and I tried not to let Ryder or the Lycanthal twins bother me. When I put on my uniform, I stood in front of the mirror to check myself. The skirt was a little tight, highlighting my curves.
“Where are you going, dressed like that?” Ryder asked, and I looked in the mirror to see him standing behind me, his brow wrinkled.
“School?” I raised an eyebrow. “What is the big deal?” “You are not my mother.”
“Yes, babe, what is the big deal?” The blonde girl asked, grabbing his collar, but he drew her hands away.
“You have been placed in my care, and you will not leave this dorm in something so short!” He stormed away angrily, leaving the blonde staring at me with squinted eyes.
After that brief encounter with Ryder, I ignored him and wore my skirt out of the room to the dining hall, using the scroll as a guide.
As I walked down the hall, people looked at me, murmured, and pointed to their screens. Some made hand job gestures with their hands, while others spat in my direction.
At first, I thought it was my skirt, so I ignored them and went to the dining hall. Things did not get better because the students stared at me, making me wish I could disappear. I made my order and rushed to an empty table at a corner to eat my fresh breakfast of oats, fruit, and pancakes, but before I could take a bite, someone dumped a whole cup of yoghurt down my hair.
“That will teach you to stay away,” she said.
Before I could protest, my head was pushed down into my tray of food, and the entire dining hall burst into laughter. I looked up and saw Ryder, Finn, and Kai in a corner with the blonde girl and two other girls. The girls were on their phones while everyone laughed at me.
Shame enveloped me, prompting me to stand up. I dashed out of the dining room as everyone laughed and pointed fingers, heading straight to the restroom in the class area. This was because I could not risk returning to my room, because the classroom doors would close before I finished cleaning up.
I tried to hold back my tears in the mirror, but they just flowed freely. I paused for a moment when I heard the door open and turned to see a brunette wearing glasses.
“Are you here to make fun of me, or something?” I asked, tightening my fists.
“No, I am here to help. My name is Hazel, and I apologize for what happened to you; I witnessed everything. I have been a victim countless times, so I know how it feels,” she explained.
I relaxed my fist, allowing her to assist me in cleaning up while she explained how Ryder was the hottest guy in school, and the fact the girls thought I wanted him prompted them to pursue me.
“What makes them believe I do?” I asked, wondering if anyone had noticed the mate bond, which was impossible because the triplets didn’t even know we were mates.
“You haven’t seen the blast on Fangtastic Diaries?” she asked and I stared at her wide eyed.
“What’s that?”
“A blog that documents everyone’s mishaps as they happen,” she said, showing me a video of me moaning to the triplets’ names and attempting to kiss Ryder. Knowing who did it made my brows wrinkle immediately.
“The blonde with a ponytail!” I exclaimed.
“Fae Stormclaw? Oh, you do not want to mess with her. She is Ryder’s girlfriend, and her fairies will come for you.” Hazel said, but I could not care less.
I stormed out of the bathroom.
My prayers were answered when I collided with her.
“Watch where you are going, Ms. Sluttiness,” she said, and the girls behind her burst into laughter.
I grabbed her by the collar right away, but before I could do anything, my mother called out to me.
“My office, Ms. Runestone!”
I released my grip on the Fae’s clothes and followed my mother to her office. She slammed the door hard when I got in, resting her back on the table.
“I am tired of your nonsense, Bella, and it has to stop now. It hasn’t even been up to twenty-four hours, and you are already acting up. Are you out to disgrace me?” Mum yelled out.
I looked this woman in the eye, a tear escaping my eyes. I had found my mates and I couldn’t even share the news with my mum because she was unbelievable. There was a rumor making rounds, and she couldn’t come to my rescue.
“And this news of you being a slut that I hear?”
“Mum, it is fake.” I cried out.
“Are you sure? Ryder is going to find his mate at the ball this weekend, and I advise you to avoid him, because I will not let you ruin anything. You are too young for all this.”
I scoffed as she said this.
“You lost everything because of a boy, and you want to do it again here. Bella, you are young, and I understand that your feelings of attachment are all over the place, but please…”
“Enough, Mum; the fact you think I am a slut is enough for me. That is all I wanted to hear, and I won’t have this conversation again,” I said, grabbing the door handle.
“I do not intend to have this conversation either, and let me tell you something: as the principal of Howlstone, it is my responsibility to protect the students. You are a vampire, and even the slightest slip will cause the entire school to drive a stake through your heart, and I won’t object. So keep your guard up, Bella.”
“I am doing it perfectly, thank you, ’mum’.” I opened and slammed the door with my heart in my throat.
My mother just threatened to kill me.
I walked into the hallway, trying to hold back my tears, but I ended up on the floor, with the entire hall laughing.
Then I noticed a banana peel near me.
The bell for classes went off at once, but students didn’t stop filming.
“To your classes!” Mother yelled at the students.
Tears welled up in my eyes as my mother tried to assist me, but I slapped her hands away, limping away as quickly as possible.
This school was a nightmare, but I guess I was paying for murdering my best friend in cold blood..
