After serving detention in break, I attended all my classes including the elective art which I always skipped. I hated painting. I was feeling exhausted at the end of the day and the hunting wasn't till Friday. I didn’t know if I could last that long without feeding. 

I was lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling when my phone rang. It was Bianca. 

"Hey, Ver. Where are you?" she said as soon as I picked up. 

"In the dorm. Why what's up?" 

"Everyone is asking about you. Don't you wanna have lunch?" 

"I'm not really in the mood."  

"Ver, you need to eat something. I am waiting for you in the cafeteria. Hurry up." 

I groaned and got up. 

"I am coming," I said and started climbing down the stairs. 

When I reached the Cafeteria, everyone except Bianca had finished eating. 

"Hey," I said. 

"Sorry we didn't wait for you," said Aria. "We were famished." 

"No problem," I said, sitting down. 

"Where is Yves? I didn't see him in the class today." 

"Yeah, even I haven't seen him," said Eryx, shrugging. 

I felt worried about Yves. He was the most responsible person in our group and he hated skipping classes. I  felt a little surprised when I realised how much I had missed him. He was a little on the shy side, but he was kind, understanding and he wasn't fake unlike most people were. He never pretended and he never talked behind anybody's back. 

Aria yawned delicately, shaking me out of my thoughts. "Well, I am ready to call it a day. See you Ver." 

Airell and Eryx left soon after that. 

"I talked to him today," said Bianca, taking a bite of her sandwich. 

"Talked to who?" I said, sipping my sugary drink. 

"To Finn. He seems nice enough. He told me all about his human uncle and how cared for him." she said. 

"Bianca, you should be careful and not just talk to anybody," I said, staring at her. "And this Finn guy is giving me bad vibes." 

"Why?" she asked defensively."Because he lived with humans?" 

"No," I said. "You know how I feel about humans. It's just that you trust everyone easily and we don't even know him yet." 

"I can take care of myself you know," she said softly. 

I just looked at her, not in the mood to fight. The conversation ended soon after that and we headed to the dorm. While Bianca was in the shower, I checked up on my boxed blood which I had kept it in an icebox under the bed.

I collapsed on my bed, not in the mood to shower. For the first time in weeks, I felt sleep closing in on me.
