The Vampire's good girl

Chapter one - Morning Bloom

"Good bye Dad "Genesis hugs her father as tight as she could, letting it linger for few seconds as she knew she wouldn't be able to see him till the coming Christmas which was approximately eight months away. Eight month felt like eternity to her , an eternity she wished to avoid.

"Bye Honey! , Dad loves you and remember I am always here and available whenever you need me. Okay "her dad George Jamarion kissed her forehead.

He was dressed in plain white button up shirt and a black jeans paired up with a black trainers.

The six feet and four inches height still towered over Genesis five feet ten inches height.

What they mostly shared in common was the color of their hair which was dark brown and their hazel eyes while the rest of her features she got from her mother, probably also the height since her mom was a five eight .

Her father genes in her had been a boosting to her height

She pulls away from him , she wasn't going to cry she had promised herself, she wasn't going to make it harder for them.

The divorce between her parent was like a whirlwind , a quickie divorce,like both couldn't wait to be apart from each other. Taking her into no consideration as she hadn't said a word about it and still they didn't even bother to ask if she was actually okay with it.

Their marriage had been failing she knew that, but she thought they would eventually work it out but she thought wrong, they had ended up in a divorce, a marriage ending in shambles.

She imagined how the judge would have been jumping for joy in his glorious seat since he had little or no case to stress himself about.

The judge , Aaron Dexter , a name she heard a couple of times whilst her mother talked to her lawyers on phone.

A fifty one year old renowned judge, also divorced fortunately, fit for the job, Genesis opinion about him and a blessed father of three children.

The terms was laid out and the two both agreed, no looking back, no turning back. Her mother been jejune what could she have expected.

"Gen it's time "her mother , June Jamarion now June Gerald called as she leans on the driver seat door of her blue minivan , dressed in a simple blue jean trouser and a yellow floral offs shoulder long sleeve top. Her hair packed up in a tight and neat ponytail, her face almost void of makeup except for the lip balm she had applied to prevent for lips from getting chapped, she was beautiful ,still is , everyone admitted even she herself did , her mother looked so young almost like her , her mother,June had blonde hair and blue eyes, eyes that were found to be quite hypnotizing probably what caught her dad attention.

Her mother could easily pass as her eldest sister without sweating a bit. She'd always thought

"Okay" Genesis lowly replied dropping her shoulders as she made her way to the minivan with slow and heavy steps.

She could feel the tears fighting to come out but she fought back as she blinked hardly stopping the tears from dropping

Her mother got into the minivan.

"Bye again Dad"she said, she slowly pull her hands away from him like it was the last time , for her it felt like it , eight months was too long.

"We don't have all day!" Her mother yelled from inside the car.

"Coming!"she replied , as she walk into passenger seat next to mom adjust her black lace dress , today she was dressed in all black , black sweater , black dress , black boots , she could pass as a young lady attending a funeral , as someone mourning, she felt that way but neither the less black was also her favorite colour . Her mom put on her eye glasses as she adjust her rearview mirror using it as a face mirror.

Her father still stood by as he much them pull out of the drive way.

With both hands in the front pocket of the black jeans he wore resting his weight on one foot.

He waved at them as he see them pulling away. June only scoffed , Genesis waved back as she settled back in her seat her seat unconsciously folding her arms.

"Put on your seat belt!"her mother scolded, Genesis didn't bother arguing as she knew it was the right thing to do, she did as she was told.

They pulled farther away until Genesis couldn't even easily spot her dad through the wing mirror that she stared right through like she was a laser beam cutting right through it watching as his figure disappears from sight

She sighs as she now turned straight viewing what was in front.

She wished she stayed with her dad but she chose not to ,knowing how jejune her mother was, her mother could easily fall for something she knew nothing of. She felt the need to protect her.

How her parent had even gotten married in the first place still puzzled her, a mystery that still went unsolved.

She wouldn't be any bit surprised if she woke up one day been told their marriage had been a forced one or they both had a bet any obviously her dad lost making him stuck with her mother or they had had a drunken marriage at Las Vegas.

Still she was more surprised that their relationship hadn't end up in a jilt.

Seventeen years of their marriage and the only thing they had to show was a seventeen year old teenager, no love, no affection towards each other.

She wished she didn't have to be caught up in their divorce , she was the most affected.

Having to be a child of divorced parent didn't fit well with her.

She wished she was old enough already an adult before they at least separated.

They had been moving for hours, no stops, the need to use the bathroom gradually rising but she feared to ask, Her mother was now different she knew it, The divorce was quick and they both accepted the terms but she knew her mother , she might have easily accepted divorce like it didn't matter but she knew that to her, her mother it did matter.

****

Genesis bladder was planning on bursting out and there was no way she could hold any longer, she knew if she did she would probably be dead.

Headlines reading in the local newspaper.

"Teenage girl dies due to bladder destruction and inflammation because she feared her mother's reaction if she asked for permission to use the rest room since they had been on a road trip"

"Mom. I need to use the restroom" she spoke ,sounding like she was pleading.

"Genesis don't bug me, I don't have time for this , you are no longer a child so quit whining " June sternly replied not sparing a glancing towards her direction.

"Mom!"she whined the more , hoping her mother would at least glance at her and see the great discomfort she was currently in.

"Fine "June replied almost pissed, as she spots a gas station which she parked in.

The sign board painted in red that stood in front read FRENZY but to Genesis and to any other person as a matter of fact there was nothing frenzy about the place, the place that looked almost deserted.

Just three almost identical black motorbikes was parked at the side.

She stepped into the restaurant that was there mother stayed behind in the car.

She walked up to the lady that stood behind the counter that has a bored expression drawn all over her face, the lady wasn't to blame for her dull expression see how not so parked the place was.

The lady wore a grey blouse and her blonde hair was parked in a bun , a middle aged lady.

"Excuse me?"Genesis politely spoke out

"How may I help you?"The cashier said reluctantly her voice almost as dull as her face, sounding bored her country accent well heard in her words.

"Wondering where the restroom is, please " she said hoping the lady would answer her quickly

"Okay, first door to the left" the Lady pointed in direction.

"Thanks"Genesis greeted as she walked in the direction she was pointed in.

As she had expected the restroom was horrible at least what she had seen so far was nothing to be reckon with.

It shouldn't even be called a restroom she thought.

The rusty sinks that looks almost falling apart or was it the water that coursed out of some of the toilet doors.

The place was simply a total mess.

Why had she given a slight hope to the restroom judging from the restaurant standing almost empty apart from the bored looking lady behind the counter or three middle age men which she had guessed where the owners of the motorcycles parked in front.

Since the restroom was barely used , they didn't bother in keeping it clean or at least make it tidy.

She settled for the one at the farther end that seemed at least clean.

She got in did her business and got out as fast a lightning, she walked up to one of the barely alive sink hoping to wash her hands if at least the water was flowing.

The sight that greets her when she looked into the sink wasn't pleasant.

"Seriously a condom, used filthy one" she said out loud totally irritated by the sight, what disgusted her the most was that someone would even think of having sexual meetings in this kind of filth.

She scrunch her nose up in irritation as she manages to wash her hands in the other sink keeping note to do so again when she got out of this place in fact use a hand sanitizer or maybe a disinfectant.

"Thank you " she waved at the counter lady who only shunned her but Genesis didn't care she just left.

"Took you long enough" her mother, June, voice greeted her as she stepped out of the restaurant , June head stuck out the car window of the driver seat where she sat.

"Sorry"Genesis apologizes and she turned round and got in. She settles in as she buckled the seat belt.

"You didn't get anything "June inquired.

"No , I couldn't the restroom was well detailed enough "

"Oh, okay "June said as she drove off not asking any more details about her restroom journey.

*****

A signboard that read Morning Bloom caught Genesis attention making adjust herself up in her seat.

This was it they were finally here after much hours on the road.

Genesis couldn't help but almost stick out her head out the window as she watch the place.

"A small town" she thought.

It was not like she was expecting to move to a major place like New York for example that had pullulating mass of people.

"This place was small, maybe too small " she thought again after all her mother was simple, too simple.

She was sure she could easily count the number of people that lived here.

Hopefully her school would be the same and she wouldn't even be bothered about crowd but what bothered her the most was that small people meant that she would easily be spotted out among them as she was new.

Chapter Two - Clammy

Genesis palms felt clammy right away as she stepped out of the car, stretching the arms of her black sweaters as she tried wiping her sweaty palms against the fabric.

"This is it"she thought as she take in her surrounding. The house was big compared to the smaller one that stood beside it.

The house was painted in brown except the wooden parts that was painted in white.

"It was okay"she thought again though she hadn't seen the inside ,she wasn't quick to judge.

Moving to the trunk of the car as she tried taking out her few luggage she had brought since the rest of their belongings and the household properties had already been moved here two days ago.

She couldn't help but notice the lady across the street that was squatting down in position tending to the garden and was also throwing glances at her.

Her mother wouldn't notice since she was already inside the house leaving her alone to carry the heavy bags.

"Good afternoon"she greeted politely , the lady sent daggers right at her before standing up adjusted the hem of the pink floral dress she was wearing before stomping right into the her house.

"That was rude" she frowned but neither the less she thought the garden to be lovely.

The flowers complimenting the small all white bungalow. It was evident that the rude lady as what she had named her to be was doing a great job in tending to the garden.

After much struggle with the bags , Genesis lets out a sigh as she dropped it on the floor that led to the staircase that was painted in all white.

She sighs again dropping her shoulder as she glance through the house.

She moved to the living room painted also in white, three black leather couches were placed in the centre , the bigger one staring directly at the plasma TV that was hung on the wall, the two other couches sat at both side of the larger one.

A painting also placed at the furthermost end of the living room , the fire place beneath it.

She thought it to be okay but it was definitely not her mother that decorated the place. Her mother unlike most wives had little or no interest and talent in decorations and interior designs.

Finding her room wasn't all that difficult since the house only had three rooms the first one she knew was occupied by her mother thanks to her mother singing at the top of her lungs, obvious that the lungs would abruptly burst if she hit a high note. How Celine Deon does it it till wonders her , those singers where really gifted. Simply geniuses.

The next one was filled with boxes indicating a storage room.

So she owned the last one , it looked almost like her former one only the colour was know purple instead of orange and some of her things weren't the way they used to be.

But it was better, she agreed.

The room much bigger than the former one.

She collapsed on the bed as she stared sideways at her closed windows.

She missed home, she missed her dad.

Would people in her former school miss her?, obviously not.

Given as she was antisocial, she was totally ignored through her time there.

She would miss the two people she was able to call friends.

Grace Northway her friend since elementary school probably the reason why she wasn't bullied.

The blonde innocent looking girl with blue eyes wasn't all that innocent, she was the toughest in the group. Her spirit and energy was obviously something to be envied.

Grace dad was a sheriff and Grace had been learning self defense since she was six.

Her dad Peter Northway was now a mayor.

Tom Park, a fairly tall boy when they met first year of junior high but had seemed to have sky scrapped from 5'11 to 6'5 and the end of the second year.

Puberty was hitting him hard and soon enough the girls had started noticing him.

At the end of junior year he had already been invited out to try out for the basketball team for senior year.

He got in.

At first Genesis thought he would ditch them since he now belong to the elite group of the school.

But he never did , he struck around.

For Genesis he was the matured one, and she would never forget him and his sandy blond hair that she loved so much.

She sighs again seems to have been doing lot of that lately.

"Genesis ! Genesis!" her mother multiply calling woke up her up and she had noticed she had fallen asleep.

Rubbing her eyes as she got out of the bed.

She opens her door as she notices her mom standing there watching her with careful eyes , something June was fond of doing when it came to Genesis.

"Mom "she voiced out

"Get ready , we are going out for dinner " June said swiftly as she walks away from the room

"Okay"she muttered as she stared at her mother retreating figure.

*****

June parks her mini van in an empty spot that stood facing directly to door of the restaurant , few feet away to the door.

The drive had been stressful enough for her and she couldn't make dinner , not that she was great at cooking but she loved preparing simple meals.

Why she picked this town she really didn't knew , she was only just recommended about the place.

And the price of the house was quite negotiable.

Small places seem to do well with her so it was a win-win situation.

She glanced at her daughter Genesis , sighed and got out

She missed him but she couldn't talk, she had given him the freedom he solely desired.

He was not happy with her she knew it, had they ever been in love, the answer no.

At one time they cared for each other , she cared more.

A one night stand that sealed them together.

Apart from her been pregnant , her ex husband grandfather was a politician at that time running for the office of a senate , and their action would have caused them a lot , this things Genesis knew nothing of and she would make sure to keep her in the dark forever.

"Come on "she gestured at genesis as she got out of the car slamming the door harshly , Genesis soon followed as they stepped in the restaurant , the only restaurant in town.

The place was parked and it was obvious that the people in it acted more has family than friends , they had togetherness.

The togetherness and unity Genesis adored , though she wasn't a people person but she envy those that were able to bring lot of people around them.

There presence had been noticed when her mother harshly again slammed the restaurant door.

Everyone eyes snapped at them and if looks could actually kill they would be found six feet under.

Genesis tensed up obviously uncomfortable with the stares she was getting , her hands were clammy again , anxiety building up she could feel a drop of sweat run down her forehead this was the time she missed her dad .

Her dad was always successful in making her feel at ease as he would always rub soothingly at her back , throwing her a reassuring smile.

Her mum no , she knew I mom loved her but wasn't good in showing affection.

She glanced at her mom who don't seem bothered by the stares she was getting instead she held her head high she had never envy her mother in anyway apart from her beauty , right now it was her pride.

"Come on" her mother gestured again for the second time as she walks away

She followed quickly behind her mother obviously hiding from the never ending stare.

She didn't want to appear weak but right now she couldn't help herself.

Her mom had ordered her meal for her not asking for her opinion she could care less , she only nod at her mother choice , right now she loved herself for loving almost all kinds of food.

The plate of spaghetti and tomato sauce was placed in front of her accompanied by a glass of orange juice and water placed beside the plate , she looked up to her mother who was already eating.

"Enjoy "the waitress said as she literally ran away giving no opportunity to Genesis of seeing her.

She picked up her fork , looking at her surrounding , she breath easily noticing that they weren't staring any more.

She digging in , raising her fork up to her slightly opened mouth, she paused , she felt it , slowly she looked up and her breath hitched.

Someone was staring at her right across the her table , she hadn't noticed him early probably had just walked in.

She was frozen , at least her body was ,his hazel brown eyes staring at her , his arms folded , Genesis unconsciously tuck in her hair in the right side of her ear.

His gaze bored at her , his eyes judgmental , her appetite all washed away as she stared at the teenage boy who was definitely older than her , he was attractive , very , she admitted no matter what happened now she couldn't eat again.

"Ain't you eating ?" her mother voice tore her gaze from him

"I am not hungry anymore" she simply stated , her mother dropped her fork as she cleaned her mother with the paper napkin as she stared at her before sternly saying "young lady ,I have no time for this , you will eat! "

"Perhaps I could pack it up " Genesis suggested her voice almost pleading

Her mom rested back on her chair "Fine " she stated she gestured to the waitress , who soon rush over to them

"Could you please help me pack this up" she gestured at her food as well as hers before opening her purse and handed some notes to her "keep the change " she added

"Okay" the waitress replied as she picked up Genesis plate and walked away , soon coming back with already packed she handed it to Genesis who mutters a thank you before the waitress walks away attending to others business

Genesis stood up her head hanging low she wouldn't look up or she would have to come face to face with the mystery guy.

She followed her mom from behind as they walked out the restaurant releasing the breath she held on for quite a long time.

Chapter Three - First Impression

The tapping sound her mother made with her shoes against the cream coloured tiled of the school's hallways wasn't of any help in reducing Genesis nervousness in fact it only increased it.

She see no reason why her mother had decided to put on heels on the first day of school but judging by the calm and coolness her mother wore on her face , she had came up with just one judgement. Her mother was trying to make a good first impression but wasn't first impressions were to be made by her,she thought, certainly she is the one joining the school how her mother's brain worked she'd never understand.

Thankfully their journey came to an end when they reached the only painted crimson red door just as has described by the receptionist up front by the entrance of the school. With a first knock accompanied by a second they were ushered in by a young lady dressed in a formal pants and red floral buttoned up shirt, her brown hair packed up in a high bun who lead them to another door just by the right hand side of the room.

"The principal would be with you shortly. If you may, have your seats" she gestured throwing in a full toothed smile as she walked out of the room.

They now sit in the principal office awaiting her arrival. Her mother making ticking sound with her heels against the black diamond looking tiled floor of the office, she looked to be almost fidgeting in her chair , wasn't she the one to be nervous, Genesis thought again has her actions puzzled her once more.

The principal portrait hanging on the rose pink and ash painted wall , the rose pink halved at the top while the other colour beneath , her all black leather chair sitting below the frame in front placed a also all black painted hard wood desk. Judging by the picture, the lady in the portrait looked quite young appearing to be in her early thirties.

Young and vibrant.

The air conditioner obviously put at the highest as Genesis shivered a couple of times as she silently regret the idea of letting her mother choose her outfit to school , her mother going against every of her fashion choices by pairing her up in a dark green floral a little above knee dress and sandals and had even convince her to put her hair up in a ponytail. Apart from the discomfort she was getting from the air conditioner , the office was definitely a comfort zone, taking not only about the beauty the office had it own mini fridge and a plasma screen TV, who would want to leave this office.

The principal soon shortly after a few minutes graced their presence as she walks in a smile plastered on her face. Dressed in an all black body con dress , her full long black hair cascading below her back almost to her waist , her make up done in perfection she did even look more of a beauty in real life than in the portrait.

"Nice too meet you Mrs Gerald"she shakes June hand as she walked over to her chair

"Miss Jamarion "Genesis corrected , the principal looked taken back but she quickly recovers , June threw a glare at her, she scoffed.

"Oh , sure "she said"hope you haven't been waiting for long"she added and smiled widely one more time

"No we haven't"June replied politely , smiling back at the woman in front of her.

"Okay let me introduce myself. I am principal holly or miss holly which suits you best , and my I must say Genesis you have quite a good credentials , your grades are excellent hope we would be seeing a lot of that here I presume"

"Sure"Genesis blinked, if the a lot meant passing her grades ,she had no problem with that but if it meant getting involved in the school social activities she had an every big problem.

What kept running through her mind as the principal and her mother conversed not paying attention to the discussion was the fact that she didn't know how she would feel when she come face to face with the students or her destined classmates.

She wasn't even able to look at the teenage boy she had seen in the restaurant let alone a class filled with lots of teenagers. Crazed teenagers.

"Okay then it is settled let me show you to your class" miss holly gestured as she stood up from her flawless black leather chair that seemed to also glow. Her action had snapped Genesis out of her train of thoughts as she stood up also.

Principal Holly shakes her mother telling her a goodbye , with that June leaves only sparing a glance at her.

"Shall we ?" The principal gestures at Genesis who only nod in response

******

With every click Miss Holly red stiletto made on the tiled floor as through the hallways , Genesis could feel her heart struggling to jump out, she thought her mother clicking heels against the tiles was frustrating but she thought wrong this was worse , principal holly steps echoed loudly in the hallway , each click felt like a hammer running though a nail in her heart , they were getting closer with each step , closer to her fate.

Miss Holly stopped at an open door , a class in session, Genesis hiding beside the wall away from the student.

The principal motion to the teacher. The baldheaded man dressed in a red sleeve button up shirt and trousers tucking almost above his belly button , waved his hands to the class as he humbly stepped out

"Mr Stanford" Miss Holly smiled as she gently shook the bald headed man when he got to the door after excusing himself from the ongoing class, the students peeking to see what the matter at hand was.

"Principal Holly , how may I help you?" His cracked voice spoke out.

Miss Holly smiled as she glanced at Genesis who was almost cowering close to the wall and glanced back at Mr Stanford.

"Mr Stanford, I have a new student for you" she gestured at Genesis who walked slowly up to them "this is miss Jamarion she would be joining us here and I hope you take care of her"

"Of course , it would be a pleasure having her" Mr Stanford forcefully smiled , Genesis unexpectedly gasp earning a stare from both people.

"Sorry" Genesis apologized , miss Holly only nod but Mr Stanford pressed tight his lips. How much he hate new students , he thought. The principal soon take her leave as he ushered Genesis into the class.

"Class we have someone new joiningg us " he spoke out, his distorted voice sounding almost tired , he definitely was tired finding himself in an overbearing job , that had cause him to lose his voice thanks to constant yelling of kids that never seems to get anything right , though he had a few students to boast of but that was like only ten percent of the entire class, so Genesis appearance meant more stress to endure.

"If you will kindly introduce yourself to the class" he sounded bored , even letting out a soft yawn accompanied by a sign.

Genesis stared into the more than twenty pairs of eyes staring at her awaiting her response, she gulped down on nothing, tightly enclosing her fidgeting sweaty palms moving it behind her green knee length floral dress, her left foot rested on her black sandals moves subconsciously to rub against her other foot " My name is Genesis Jamarion" she tried to sound bold but it came out pretty weak, so much for first impression.
