Yes, this is the best time of the day.

Jay looked from each door to the next, wondering which innocent person would end up with bite marks in their clothes today. Fern yawned and walked out of her room after her nap.

Jay squinted,"Hmm."

"Huh? Oh, hi." She waved.

"Hi."

Fern then reached into her bag and began eating some berries.

Abigail was eating her lunch in the library.

"Eating alone?" Cameron raised a brow.

Abigail looked up,"Oh, yeah. I wanted to think for a bit."

"You're one weird kid, Abbie." He sat beside her.

Abigail shrugged,"The real weirdos are Charlotte and Shelby."

"Yet you still hang out with them." Cameron rolled his eyes.

Abigail got up,"Actually, I'm going to go find them. Any idea where they are?"

"Not a clue."

Ryland walked into the cafeteria, Cloud not far behind him. Before he knew it, he was scooped up. He was stuck with Valkyrie now, wasn't he? Ryland sighed and Cloud giggled.

"Hello, small boy." Valkyrie smiled.

"Hello, tall person." Ryland crossed his arms.

"Can I eat lunch with you two?"

Circe entered the cafeteria. She would've been invisible if she wasn't hungry. Renée was sat at a table. Circe grabbed a granola bar, planning on reading for all of lunch. She tried to focus on her book but it was a struggle as the buzz of the cafeteria gave her a headache. She took an angry bite of her granola bar.

"Ugh, this sucks." Circe thought grumpily.

Ivy then sat beside her,"Hey-"

"Please stop talking." Circe pointed.

"That granola bar looks dry." Ivy commented.

"It is, go away."

Circe took a last bite of the granola bar and made a face.

"There should be some fruit punch over there." Ivy suggested.

"Thanks." Circe nodded and got up.

Alessandra awkwardly stood there, her blood bar slowly going down.

"Hey, Allie." Calypso hummed.

"Hi." She said awkwardly, not looking at him to avoid temptation.

"What's the matter, doll?" He raised a brow.

"Doll?" Alessandra rolled her eyes.

"Is there anything you'd prefer?"

"I liked Ally."

"Noted."

"So... What are you doing for lunch?" She hoped Calypso would put the pieces together and not approach her.

"Not too sure." Calypso shrugged.

"Hey, if you want, I have some 1 minute ramen in my bag." Alessandra offered.

"Oh, yes please." Calypso nodded.

Alessandra gave it to him,"Erm- Calypso... You know what vampires eat, right?"

"Obviously, why?"

"And you know I'm a hungry vampire... Right?"

"Mhm, your point?"

"You have a certain red fluid flowing through your veins right now." Alessandra's eye twitched.

Calypso thought for a moment,"I mean, you can have a drink. I don't mind."

Alessandra paused and turned to face him,"Excuse you?"

"As long as you don't kill me, I don't mind." Calypso shrugged.

"You- That- Why?" She stuttered out.

"Why not?"

"It won't kill you, make you stronger or help you in anyway! What do you get out of this?"

"Well, nothing really, but I want to." Calypso crossed his arms.

"You, sir, are the most confusing person I have ever met." Alessandra sighed.

"That's why you love me." Calypso hummed.

"Wait, what-" Alessandra jumped back, her face turning red.

Calypso just smiled and looked up at her.

"I have suddenly lost my appetite. I-I am going to back away slowly, grab fruit punch and you will rethink your previous statement!" Alessandra, despite her statement, bolted away.

Calypso remained where he was, rethinking nothing. Alessandra slowly returned with three boxes of fruit punch.

"Allie!" Calypso smiled at her.

"Have you reconsidered and made a sane choice?" Alessandra asked cautiously.

"Nope."

"Fine then... Where do you want to be bitten? The wrist will kill you so that isn't recommended." Alessandra told him.

"Where won't kill me?" Calypso asked her.

"The chest and neck, mainly. I prefer the neck as the victim forgets what happened because they usually pass out and I get plenty of blood." She explained.

"Go for it then." Calypso tied his hair back so it wasn't in the way.

"Last chance to reconsider." Alessandra offered.

"No, just bite me. I'll forgive you if it hurts." Calypso assured her.

Alessandra looked around for about three seconds before she evaluated his neck. She went for the spot that would hurt the least and sank her fangs in for a good five seconds before taking them out. She wouldn't admit it ever but his blood tasted really, really good. Either that or she was extremely blood depraved.

"Thank you so, so, so much." She thanked him.

"N-no problem." He rubbed his neck.

She quickly grabbed a band-aid and put it on him,"Waterproof. You'll be lightheaded for and hour roughly but the pain will be gone in three minutes."

"Lightheaded? Me? Nah." Calypso assured her, though he was clearly leaning against the back of the pool he was in.

"I owe you something... I'll repay you for this. In the meantime, I'll get your ramen ready. You just float here."

"You don't need to repay me, I'm just doing a nice thing." Calypso told her.

Alessandra soon passed him the ramen,"But at the expense of yourself?"

Calypso stayed silent and started eating his ramen,"I'm fine."

"I doubt it. This is all my fault... I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize. I wanted you to do this." Calypso sighed.

"But why?"

"So you weren't hungry." He shrugged.

Kai was exploring the forest, hoping to find something cool to show off.

"Boo!" E.P.R walked out from behind a tree.

"AHHHHH- Oh, Robot."

"That's me." She nodded.

"What're you doing out here?"

"Doing routine checks for the principal, for student safety." E.P.R explained.

"Ah." Kai nodded.

"Probably not best for you to be wandering around out here, especially with all the dragons and stuff." E.P.R told him.

"I think I can handle myself."

"Are you really sure about that, Mr Inferno?" E.P.R raised a brow.

"Yeah, why?" Kai asked.

"Just double-checking before I leave." E.P.R turned around.

"K, boss." He saluted.

"Have fun on your travels."

Charlotte and Shelby were in Shelby's room. Charlotte was reading and Shelby was writing in her diary.

"Dear diary,
'So, I think I might maybe have a crush on someone. I don't know if I should say who.' She looked over at Charlotte,'Me and Charlotte caused chaos during P.E today. Pretty fun. I can't wait for Power Practice. I think the teacher is like me.
Love, Shelby'
