It was Monday morning and Kasela woke up to prepare for classes. Within a few minutes she was dressed in a white knee length gown and a pair of blue sandals. She tied her long hair into a bun and picked up her books. She locked her door and knocked on the door opposite hers. Brenda emerged wearing a blue bathrobe.
"Oh come in, let me quickly dress up" she said and made space for Kasela who greeted her and went in.
Her room was more spacious and we'll furnished than hers, Kasela noticed and even her walk in closet was bigger than hers. She noticed that she even had a dressing table close to her closet where she sat down and began dapping some powder on her face and applied a lip gloss.
"Shouldn't you apply something on your face too?" Brenda asked but Kasela shooked her head
"No I'm okay" she replied and Brenda shrugged her shoulders and continued doing a light make-up on her face.
Few minutes later, they both went to the canteen to have their breakfast
"I think the school authorities should always deliver our food to us every morning, it's so stressful moving down to the canteen to always eat and we can also be late to classes sometime" Brenda complained while Kasela smiled
"Those stuffs you applied on your face, won't the lecturers complain?" She asked while Brenda scoffed
"I only applied a little moreover the other day, Patricia applied a thick layer of make-up on her face and those old foxes saw it but didn't say a word about it and so that does not make me the only student who wears make-up on her face". Brenda said and Kasela nodded remembering that some of her classmates who wore make-up in the class.
Just as they stepped out of the hall someone crashed into Kasela and the books she carried all fell on the ground. Brenda rolled her eyes when she saw who it is
"Are your eyes at the back of your head?" She snapped agrily at her
"I'm so sorry, it was a mistake" Jane apologized meekly and joined Kasela in picking up her books
"It's okay" Kasela said curtly and moved to pass with Brenda but Jane interrupted them
"Can I join you guys too?" She asked but Brenda cut in
" We are also just going out now moreover I thought you were headed to the class" Brenda asked wide eyes but Kasela held her arm and shooked her head
"Let's leave" she said and they both left leaving Jane standing there with a friend on her face
'How will I win her trust if she keeps on acting cold and distant with me plus that leech that keeps on hovering around her is a pain the neck" she thought and sighed, she decided to go meet her brother.
"I don't like her" Brenda told Kasela on their way to the class and Kasela shrugged her shoulders
"Me too, I feel odd about her and she has this weird vibe, it seems as if she has a hidden agenda" Kasela replied and Brenda nodded her head
"Yeah you should make sure to stay away from her" she added and they both continued their journey to the canteen.
Few minutes they both exited the canteen and just as they exited the door, someone bumped into Kasela again and she sighed as her books fell to the ground, she looked up and was surprised to see Regalus who had a cold look on his face, he bypassed her and went into the canteen and her gaze dropped to the one with the pink hair who had obviously bumped into her, he crouched down to pick up her books and handed it back to her
"My apologies little rose" he said and handed back her books to her while Kasela frowned at the odd name
"Little rose? What's that?" She wondered but by then they had left and gone into the canteen. "That name, even Maximus called me that the other day" Kasela said to Brenda while Brenda shooked her head
"As to why they are calling you that name, I don't know except you would want to ask Maxwell, after all he called you that too" Brenda replied with a cheeky smile.
Kasela sighed and rolled her eyes "No, I would rather keep my curiosity to myself" she said and they both went to the class.
Back at the canteen Regalus and his group sat at a secluded spot that was prepared for him as they were served their meal.
"What was that for?" Kelvin nudged Maxwell who was seated close to him".
"What do you mean?" He asked back and Kelvin scoffed
" I'm not an idiot, I know you purposely bumped into her, after all you weren't blind" Kelvin said
"Yeah..... I mean no.... I didn't purposely bump into her, we just happened to collide immediately she just walked past the door and moreover I wasn't expecting her, you know" he answered "And that's our first meeting too" he added with a smile while Kelvin rolled his eyes
"Sometimes I do wonder what we're always doing in a canteen, I prefer being served our food in the house" Martin murmured but everyone heard him
"Yeah and we can't take our drink here now that our school is mixed with humans" Kelvin sighed and Maxwell nodded his head
"Yeah you are right, you know we wouldn't want our identity exposed so we limit our intake, moreover I suppose to buy one of those fanciful bottles being sold" Maxwell added
"Oh.... You mean those bottles that were produced last year?" Kelvin asked and Maxwell nodded his head
"Why are you acting like blood starved vampires?" Mark asked and everyone looked at him "Yeah, we have been trained to control our urges and that's why we can last for three weeks without drinking any blood and here you are thinking of going round with bottles like new born vampires" Mark added and Maxwell pouted
"But we..."
"No Mark's right" Regalus said "We have been trained to control our urges and we should remain at that especially now that humans have been added to the school" he said and everyone nodded.
"I would not be attending class with you guys" he announced and everyone looked at him with questions in their heads but the answer soon came when Bianca catwalked into the canteen and walked up to their table.
