She was a little bit nervous. She and her professor had gotten along perfectly well, and her professor had been impressed that Clover had been able to stay awake during her morning lectures. So now she worried that the subject might come up as to why she had switched to her night time section. Well, it wasn't exactly like she could tell her professor what would happen to her if she went outside during the day...Dressing was quick. Clover didn't even think about it as she threw on her school girl outfit. It was just such second nature to her. But then about halfway across campus, lugging her books along at a furious pace, she suddenly began to see the stares.'Hm... a lot of people are looking at me. I wonder if they notice how pale I am? No they're not looking at my face. What? Is my outfit stained or someth...?' She looked down and grew embarrassed. School girl outfit. And, she hadn't even bothered to put on a coat for this particularly cool night. Clover suddenly realized how rediculous she must look. But there was no turning back now. 'I'm going to have to learn to act more... human in the future. Maybe pretend that I need a coat? Wear my normal clothes? Well, my clothes were never normal. But still, more normal than this.'Sighing, she bolted into the biology building, up the stairs, and flew into the lecture hall... just in time to see that I was empty, save for about three students who were just sitting down to study. Clover cocked her head and looked at her wristwatch, "Oh..." She could have sworn that she was going to be late to her test! But now she found herself with about 45 minutes to spare. Had she run across campus that quickly? Was that another reason people had been staring?As Clover sunk down into her seat, even more embarrassed than before, one of her classmates looked up at her from a seat a few rows down in the lecture hall. Clover didn't know her name, and she was sure this girl didn't know hers either. But all the same, the girl's face dropped in concern, "Are you alright? You're awefully pale."Clover wrung her hands in embarrassment, "Um... yeah. I'm a little under the weather tonight. I'm glad we can leave when the test is over, right?" She laughed a little, but the girl still looked concerned. She turned to look back at her notes. Clover pulled out her own notes as well. She had them memorized by heart. But just to pass the time, she sat there and stared at the page. She felt out of sorts. It was a bit surreal. All weekend, she had been trying to get used to being a newborn vampire. And now, she sat in her biology class like nothing had happened. Like everything was perfectly normal. Clover wondered idly if anything about her gave it away. If anyone could tell what had happened to her. She suddenly felt self concious, as though her fangs were clearly visible, and she ducked her head to lay her forehead on her arm, hiding her face.The lecture hall filled in quickly. Clover kept her head down, but she could clearly hear everyone expressing curiosity over her presence in the room. "Is that that girl from Section A?""Yeah, they say she's some sort of super genius that never leaves her room.""What a dork. Is that her Catholic School uniform? Why is she still wearing it?""Aww, I think it's cute.""You perv! You think anyone dressed up as a school girl is cute.""Wow, is that her real hair color?""She's so pale! She needs some sun.""Wow, her complexion's awesome.""You're such a goth."And the class continued to babble as such. It's wasn't so uncomfortable after a while, though. Some of the students in the night class were older than the morning class, and so it seemed a lot more subdued. No one seemed to harbor any animosity towards her. Just curiosity.Clover lifted her head and gave a shy smile to those around her. She sat in between two girls. As she accidentally caught one of their gazes, the girl gasped and blurted out before she could catch herself, "Wow, is that your real eye color?"Clover blinked, taken aback. A compliment? She smiled warmly, "Yes, it is." The girl grinned, "That's so pretty!" She extended her hand, "I'm sorry. I'm Sophia."Clover smiled and took the girl's hand, "Angelica. It's a pleasure."But Sophia jumped, and Clover suddenly realized why. "Oh! Your hand is cold!" They both laughed awkwardly, but Clover's laugh was more morbid. but before Sophia could ask about it, luckily, the professor entered the room."Okay! Book and notes away. Take out your pencils!"Clover and Sophia shared one last smile, and then the tests were handed out.Easy.She tried very hard not to, but she was done in less than fifteen minutes. Time just seemed to pass very differently for a vampire than for a human. The girls next to her were still only a tenth of the way through the test by the time she was done. But she would be damned if she was the first one to hand in. Instead, she sat awkwardly and pretended to look over her answers. And she waited.And waited.And waited.***2 Hours LaterOne of the boys close to the front of the room finally stood up. He seemed afraid to be the first one done, but all the same he approached the front of the room.Clover breathed a sigh of relief and stood quickly to be the second one in. She glanced at Sophia and suddenly realized that the girl seemed very strained and nervous. Clover held her breath. For a breath moment, Sophia looked up and their eyes met. Then, the girl quickly (almost too quick to be normal) looked back to her test. 'What's wrong?'She shrugged and walked down to the front of the room, handing in her test. Then, she walked out of the room right on the heels of the first boy who was done. Out in the hallway, she watched him heave a deep sigh. Then he walked off.What was strange about that?'Hm...'Then, she felt the blood stop cold in her veins. Metaphorically speaking.'Did I... did I remember to breathe during all of that?'She thought back during the test. She had been sitting there bored. She hadn't really been thinking about anything. Certainly not about pretending to breathe. 'Oh <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.'So, for two hours she must have sat there completely still and statuesque. That must have really freaked Sophia out! But what was done was done. No turning back. All she could do was pretend that everything was normal.But nothing would ever be normal again. [/sblock]Bored, she began to make her way out of the biology building. However, before descending the stairs to the first floor, she was suddenly struck with inspiration. She wasn't afraid anymore. If anyone caught her, she could always command or mesmerize her way out of it, right? Stealthily, she looked around herself. No one was coming. The biology building was quiet for this time of night.'Ok, let's do this.'Quickly, she stormed down the wing to the anatomy labs. This hallway was familiar. She swiped her card.She was in.The packets of blood shone red and beautiful in front of her. She began to size up how many she could sneak out in her messenger bag to store in her refridgerator. Certainly this would make up for leaving Koln all by himself in her bedroom, right?Not sure what to roll for stealing blood packs. So I'll just end it here for now. ^.^</blockquote>
