into the parking lot, she was once again surrounded by the team of Guardians.
Great…even better. Now the whole school is going to think I am under some special privilege just for being born, she thought to herself. Fuck my life.
Just as Sanaya predicted, students and senior staff stopped in their tracks to observe the obvious parade of Guardians escorting her to her room. She cringed as she felt the curious, and the few hateful stares of her peers; her stomach did backflips as she listened in on the whispers and private thoughts that revealed some of the onlookers true feelings.
Who does she think she is?
What did the freak do this time?
Attention whore!
Full Guardian escort? Does that mean it is time?
I don’t see what the big deal is…she isn’t special…
Sanaya lowered her head and tried to tune out the myriad of thoughts, feeling like she was being mentally and emotionally stoned. When she finally made it to her room, she requested-better yet-demanded at least five minutes of privacy with Eve swearing to her that she would return so they could talk. Of course, she knew she would only be granted privacy within the space of her room. At least three Guardians were outside of her door keeping watch. Tossing her hoodie on her messy bed, she went straight for the tiny compartment of a shower and cut the water on as hot as she could physically stand it. She checked her phone once again, not expecting any other calls or messages from anyone other than Maya, and just as she expected, word must have traveled fast because Maya’s number popped up on the screen as soon as she unlocked her phone.
Sanaya inhaled deeply before answering. “Yeah?”
“Uh weren’t you supposed to call me?” Maya snapped, her normally calm voice climbing a few notches higher.
“I just got in Maya, like literally.” Sanaya collapsed on the bed and closed her eyes.
“Well, apparently your entrance caused a big stir. Full Guardian escort? What the hell happened Sanaya?”
“It’s a long story-“
“I don’t want to hear that crap,” Maya quipped. “Spill it.”
“Did you sleep at all last night?” Sanaya asked with a chuckle.
“Hell no! I was up all night worrying about you.” Maya’s tone suddenly shifted from agitated to concerned. “What happened?”
Sanaya quickly gave her friend a quick rundown of the night’s events, and when she touched on the subject of the master vampire, Maya’s gasp felt like it sucked what little life she had in her, out of her.
“You mind locked with a master vampire? Do you know how dangerous that is? He could trail you for the rest of your life until someone puts him down-“
“So that explains the presidential entourage,” Sanaya released a sigh.
“Yeah, and that means that the school is going to be locked down for a while...” Maya paused before speaking. “Are you alright?”
“Oh now you asked,” Sanaya teased, but quickly changed her tone when Maya didn’t laugh. “I guess I’m alright. I am exhausted though.”
“Not coming to class?”
“Nah…Archer said he will waive the first two so I can get some rest.”
“Ok, well I will give you my notes,and Sanaya?”
“Huh?”
“How did it feel to actually kill one those fuckers?”
Sanaya smiled and paused as she thought about it. “Good…it felt good.”
She could almost hear Maya smiling. “Good. You know Elizabeth is going to turn green with hate.”
“As long as she doesn’t try me like she did last night, I don’t care what color she turns.”
Maya snickered. “Well, cool I guess I will see you later?”
Sanaya yawned. “Yup. You know the drill. Text me later YaYa.”
“Alright ‘naya.”
The two disconnected and Sanaya jumped up and went straight to the shower. She hoped that whatever Eve had to discuss with her was done quickly, because her entire body felt like she’d been used as a punching bag and then dumped off of a cliff.
