For Humanities class our seventh grade teacher is Bill Ivey. He teaches us to write read and ask questions about the world.Good questions that take thought, for example the question what is a girl? We were to sort stereotypes about girls and compare and contrast it on our view of girls. The work that I am most proud of is the board activities, and the independent writings which I have posted below. Also the reading of the book To Kill a Mockingbird.
The next item is a portion of work. Every Friday we write a story in groups, or individually. This is a script of a story that me and two other girls produced.
Costume catastrophe
script
“Hey guys look a costume shop one more day till Halloween.” Olivia
“Wow there are so many costumes here look at this one.” Julia
“Hey I think that this one suits you better.” Ella
“That's so true…” Julia
“Here a good one for you Chris.” Olivia
“Yeah I like that one, it's perfect for me.” Ella
“What would you like to buy?” Fairy lady
“Is she wearing a costume already? It’s not even Halloween!” Ella whispered.
Luna and Diana give a suspicious glance at the Fairy Lady.
“Well we-” Julia
“Try them on first then.” The fairy lady interrupted.
“Well who else is creeped out by the creepy fairy lady?” Olivia
All raise hands.
“ Wow ,what’s happening to our costumes?! They're glowing and shimmering...” Ella
“I don’t know.” Olivia
“O’ m’ Jesus!.” Julia

In the second and third terms of Humanities. We have been learning about judging breaking stereotypes and about the hardships of violence and war. Below is one of my focus question essays. I chose this essay to put in my portfolio because I believe that it has a powerful meaning, and I think that people need to know about the worlds problems. I think that the strongest parts of my essay are the examples because the topic that I chose, it’s happening in real life. It is sad but it is happening in the world right now.I think that in my writing I have mainly grammatical errors. I may forget a period or comma here or there when I am writing. I also think that Bill can help by editing, because that would help me a lot. The most important things that I have learned are writing skills and topics. They are important to me because I believe that I have improved over the course of this year. The topics I have chosen are less broad and they have wide ranges of answers. The writing itself has improved greatly through my vocabulary and word use.
Child Labor
Child labor is the use of children in a business or industry. In most places , laws have been passed, however in some areas child labor still happens to this day. When it became illegal in some places they continued this form of abuse, internationally and in America.
In Kaduna, Nigeria ten years after Nigeria adopted international prohibitions on child labor into law, millions of children in the country are still engaged in child labor activities.The International Labor Organization estimates that about 25 percent of Nigeria’s 80 million children under the age of 14 are now in the work force.Most of the children are involved in domestic work such as cooking, gardening, collecting water, caring for other children and household cleaning. They are taught to do so at a young age and this may be the only thing that they know to do. Due to their working ,they have no time for an education.
From Nigeria a girl around the age of you and me is working. Her name is Amina, she is thirteen years old. Her father died when she was ten and she works as a household helper. This is what she does while we are in school. She says"I wake up at 5 a.m. in the morning and start my day by fetching water for the house from a well in the neighborhood. I fill a drum with the water, and by 6 a.m , I have to bathe the two children of the house and prepare them for school."After that, I then wash plates and sweep the house," she said. "When the children are gone to school and my masters gone to work, I wash the children's clothes and cook lunch for them before they return from school."
"Sometimes I go to the market and buy things for the house, and anytime I get it wrong I am severely beaten, as if I am not a human being,” Amina said, adding that she hopes for the opportunity to attend school herself, and escape the hardship of manual household labor.
A young girl at our age ,working a job and not getting the opportunity to educate herself.
In 2003 the law was designed to mean that “The child shall be protected against all forms of neglect, cruelty and exploitation. He or she shall not be admitted to employment before an appropriate minimum age; he shall in no case be caused or permitted to engage in any occupation or employment which would prejudice his health or education, or interfere with his physical, mental or moral development.” All of Nigeria must sign the law however. Only 24 out of 36 states have stopped this cruelty.
Also internationally, in Sama,Yemen Following a hard day's work of spraying pesticides at a farm in the Yemeni Governorate of Mahweet, 113 km northwest of the capital Sana, Mohammed al-Khayati, 12 years old, was so exhausted he fell asleep in a small store where the pesticides were kept, as his home was too far. The young boy never awoke after inhaling toxic fumes. His job was dangerous and in Yemen the same law was passed ,yet no one responded to it. There is no Humanity in child labor.
In America, right here in Massachusetts,in 1908-1912. In Rochester Massachusetts field and farm work were allowed. Two girls at the young ages had to work. Camille Carmo at age 7, and Justine at age 9.They had to pick 4 pails of crops every day for only 48 cents. In western mass, an eight year old boy named jack was driving a horse rake.A pastime vice was killing time. Mill boys and men hanging around Swift’s Pool room. On Saturday p.m. A common day time. Educational influences ,bad stories and remarks will not bear repetition. This was in Fall River,Massachusetts.However, in Massachusetts and most places in America have stopped child labor.
Child labor is considered inhuman. Young children who have not even learned their alphabets, working a job that gives horrible pay. Only earning 48 cents for a full day including a night shift. It is just not right. In my opinion child labor is just unfair because as children we have a right to have fun and get an education.When we grow older we should be able to have fond memories of of our childhood. Have those sweet moments where we are saying things like “I remember when I was a kid.” and having fond thoughts of that. I could go on this topic for seemingly eternity,but I will stop it here for now.

These are my new independent writing pieces Titled The Phantom Rabbits and Why? Naze? I believe that overall I did well in my two writing pieces because the characters are very interesting and the plot twist here and there,yet i the background there is a faith because every thing is going to be alright. Also I believe that my writing has improved from the beginning of the year. I think this because my characters have become ore developed and they have more of a back story. In the future I would like to improve my use of imagery because I may describe one or two things, however not many things get into detail that much.
The Phantom Rabbits
It was raining,but still I had to go to work. With my four friends Emily,Juliana,Olivia,and Isabella. Our job is pretty dangerous, we are waitresses and the notorious Phantom rabbits. We take from the super rich who put down others. Lately the Schneider residence has had some problems. Mr. B.I.Lliam is the vice president of the national bank,he has recently acquired the hope diamond and power has gone to his head,which is not like him at all.His daughter has become frightened by him and tonight is when we solve this.
Our café is called the cheery bunny, not a very subtle approach but our secret is still safe. Our top customers are Siobhan Moorice and Cynthia guitermontez . Siobhan also happens to be the person who is tracking the phantom rabbits. They walked in and the doors bell rang. I turned around to make the special hot chocolate with creamer in it. Siobhan began "Tonight is the night I will get those phantom rabbits!" Cynthia held up a disc and siobhan said " This disc will help us to be able to catch them." Isabella gave shibbon a hug and Siobhan and Cynthia left. "We have it." Isabella whispered. Night fell and we changed into our disquises. "I wanna come too..." Emily whined. "You're not old enough and you couldn't really help." Olivia replied."Come on you guys we are wasting time here." Julianna groaned. "Every one calm down we have to go." I said putting on my ears. Emily cried "I'll show you guys that I can help to!"and she ran out of the door. Isabella assured "we'll get her later lets go." We all nodded.
Night fell and we were at the Scheider residence. We hid and Isabella guarded the window. Olivia covered the front door and Julianna the bathroom door. I got to the diamond ,Siobhan and Cynthia burst out of the closet. "Crap!" we all exclaimed. Isabella opened the window and one by one we all jumped down and ran. Siobhan was very persistent and she chased us even when we got to the roof. We kept running Siobhan on our tail. We ran down stairs into a river and she shouted "Stop!" We didn't and she shot a supposedly warning shot and it hit my hand dropping the hope diamond. " Darn it." I said to the others. We got back to the shop and changed. "That was a really close call!" Olivia said. "Owww!" I exclaimed as Isabella tried to wrap my hand. " It's fine Siobhan probably has the diamond and well we can always try again." Juliana said thoughtfully. We all went to sleep upset yet hopefull that we could get through this. We got up and watched the video on that disc. Mr.B.I.Lliam's daughter Erin was being held captive in a mansion,by some freak who called himself/herself blacksnow. We were closed for the day and we just waited until the clock struck twelve midnight. We changed and where on our way to Black towers the place where Erin was being held captive. We tied off ropes when we were at the top. We removed a shingle and slid down the ropes. Erin was in the middle of the room in... an urn?! Regardless we went to her and we tried to pick up the pot until the floor opened and we where falling down into deep deep darkness. Then everything was black.
When I opened my eyes we were in a cell and a clocked figure appeared. It said "welcome to black towers phantom rabbits." I began "Welcome us in he- " "lo" Juliana interrupted . I nearly kicked the guy,girl I couldn't tell honestly. The heshething left and Olivia began to panic "How are we going to get out of this one guys?" "Just relax it'll be fine" I say. "Sure it will be totally fine." Isabella jumped in. "Guys,the lock is as good as gone." Julianna said to everyone. We all smiled Isabella and I picked up the Erin urn and we began to run through the castleish thing. We just kept running until we were in a throne room? We all slipped and Erin and her urn flew across the room. "What is this?" we all asked in unison. The cloaked he she came up to my face and said " Any last words?" Black snow said.I replied "actually,Are you a guy or a girl,and why did you take Erin?" "First of...I'm a girl. Bekah is black snow! Hahahahha and yeah. You are as good as dead anyway so let me tell you all about my plan. Well you see it all started when I-". " Can you just say why you kidnapped her already I mean we don't need the whole backstory!" I shouted. "Fine" she replied spitefully." I kidnapped her for the same reason you wanted to." Olivia shouted to Erin "Hold on,we'll get you out of this trust us! "Why should I, creepy lady said you guys would've captured me if she didn't!"She yelled back. "We never wanted to capture you." I blurted out "we were just trying to get your dad to stop neglecting you and for him to forget about the stupid hope diamond." " really?" The Bekah lady stated shocked.
"I thought the exact opposite I thought that Mr.Schneider trusted erin enough to give her the diamond. and I could just get it." The room was all dark and two dark figures came out. "I've finally got you!" "I think that we've done well." It was Siobhan and Cynthia. They came up to us saying that we looked familiar. "isn't that right jewels,juliana,olivia,and isabella?!" Cynthia shouted.Suddenly everything shook and there was a loud flapping,a helicopter? The whole roof came off revealing Emily and an immense silver pot. "I told you that I could help you guys!" emily shouted. "Another rabbit?!" Siobhan barked. "We missed one." said Cynthia stepping back. Others came out of the shadows. "They're just a bunch of children." Cynthia shouted. Emily yelled " We are the rabbit rescuers Mia,Renee,Morgan,Ella and me Emily.
Hit it girls." All of the kids piled on Siobhan and Cynthia.The pot poured a bunch of oil on us and we were out of the glue trap. Olivia and I dashed to the other side of the room getting erin and emily dropped a rope. When we all held it she began pulling us up. We where in the basket of a hot air ballon. Shibbon chased us and grabbed a loose piece of rope. Emily whined " The ballon won't hold there is to much weight on it." we all thought then siobhan said " You should turn yourselves in,its the right thing to do." "No!" isabella shouted. Siobhan ,we watched her drop down and she landed on a tall skyscraper. "Well at least she's alive." Emily smirked. The balloon got all the way to the shop and the other girls came. "Hi I'm Mia!" "Renee" "My names ella!" " And I'm Morgan. "
Mia began "so... Are you gonna turn yourselves in?" Renné answered "noooo you guys can't do that?!" Ella said "Renee's right,after all of our hard work!" Morgan shouted "guys? Guys? GUYS!" She pointed at Erin. Isabella began "oh,yeah what do we do about her?" Julianna stated " umm I think we take her back home." Olivia stammered " w-w-wait hole up! Do we even have the hope diamond?!" " well about that..." I said. "You don't have it do you?" Juliana asked skeptically. " oh,I do have it but what are we going to do with it?" We decided that we take it to the police. And we weren't pressed with charges or anything. Siobhan saw us and Everthing was okay and we saw the beautiful sunset of new beggings. Okay,I have to admit that that was a cheesy line but the sun looked really pretty. And that's the end of our story. FIN.
"Shouldn't we show this for spearth day? It would be pretty awesome especially with our comical scenes! " I stated. everyone stared at me and shook their heads vigorously no. "Come on and we put all that hard work into it." I pleaded." NO! they shouted simultaniuously." I laughed "well it was worth a try."

Why? Naze?
Naze is japanese for why, and right now Naze is the only word I need to use. A story played out for me. It was all hazy a distant memory. I was walking home with my brother Sebastian when we saw a lady. Sebastian asked me squeezing my hand a bit " What is such a beautiful woman doing here Scarlett?,... she's crying!" I said to him " Stay back she's a vampire. " Sebastian looked down and squeaked "oh." We got into the house and it was night time. Mom,Dad we're back!" I called to our parents. When they didn't reply I grabbed a knife from the kitchen and I went upstairs Sebastian behind me. We were around 11 at the time and that lady was upstairs. We came to find her with blood smeared all over her. Not thinking I ran at her and I tried to cut her with the knife. She ended up cutting me and I uttered "Sebastian run!" I opened my eyes and sat up breathing heavy. My roommate looked at me "Scarlett are you alright?" She said in that worried tone. I layed back down and said " I'm fine Winter." Winter fell asleep again but I couldn't. The sun came up and it was 8:00 Friday the best day. 30 minutes to get ready. I changed into my black and white uniform and rushed out of the door. I ate breakfast and then ran into class. In history (the first period) we talked about Egyptians and how they helped shape our society. Then we had Algebra and everyday Mr. Carlson falls asleep. Then we had science chinese and lunch came. At lunch I usually sit with Winter, Autumn, Summer, and Rose. They are all nice and at lunch they always manage to make me laugh. We finally had art and all classes were over. Except it's after five so I had to run all the way to the other side of campus. I'm school prefect and at Hope academy that does not mean what you think it does.
It means that at 5:55 I have to run to the other side of campus and get there by 6:00. After that it's basically Damian and I trying to fend off the day students. By day students I mean that there are day classes and night classes. The day class students are always trying to see the "Famous" night students. Of course no one except the headmaster, Damean and I know about the true nature of the night students. They are vampires, but they aren't evil they are kind and uh-oh here they come. The "king" of the night students Roger Divas even had the guts to say "Did you girls dream of me last night?" Of course the girls all started squealing "YES!" I just looked at him and then he winked at me and I just rolled my eyes which definitely gave him a shock. He came closer to me and shouted " Today I will be in Scarlet Meilleures dreams." I glared at him and pushed girls that tried to fight their ways up to the night students. "What do you think you all are doing?! go back to your dorms!" shouted a voice. It was Damian. The girls all sighed " Things were going well till you showed up." Damian glared at them and every single girl kept quiet and slowly retreated to their dorms and the rest of the night students walked out of their area. "Thanks Damian." I said stretching.I added "Those girls are tougher than they look." Damian looked at me and I looked away. " ummm, thanks anyway." While were talking it got darker and darker until it was nearly pitch black. I heard a rustle of the bushes and I grabbed my stick. It wasn't really a stick because if you pushed the two buttons it would extend. I like to call it the rector because as prefect Damian and I protect the school at night.
So I then pushed the buttons and jumped over the bush. " Who ever you are show yourself!" I shouted. Damian stood behind me and the rustling noise happened again and **** two guys emerged from the bushes. I said sternly " State your business here!" One of the two replied "We have been sent by the VVHA." I stepped back and Damian shouted " The Vampires and Vampire Hunters Association, What do they want?!" The other one of the two said " They would like to assign the ones called Scarlett Meilleure and Damian Remas to a case of a vampire who has recently become an intensity D. " "Intensity D." I echoed. In unison the two asked "Where can we find Scarlett and Damian?" Damian replied "you're looking at them." I went to go see the headmaster about this. He came to the door being weird and going on and on about dinner and other random stuff. I stayed with him for dinner and we were having lemon crusted tilapia ,mashed potatoes and grape juice. Pretty good quality dinner I'd say. He was still talking gibberish until he said " Do you want to tell me something? You can tell anything to your father!" I interrupted "My adopted father." I said in a low tone almost a whisper " The VVHA came to school today." He grew serious stood and exclaimed "WHAT?!, What do they want?!" I said " They want Damian and me to solve an intensity D case." The headmaster screamed " They can take Damian but not my darling Scarlett!" We finished dinner and Damian came in. Headmaster said sitting on the couch " Intensity D, The worst place to be The vampires who hurt humans because they have lost control, Why would they want you two to do something like that?" He looked at me and I replied " I don't know." Damian stated " They probably want me because I might succumb to intensity D at any time." He said it so calmly and I just. Ughh! Tomorrow is Saturday when we get the intensity D.
I was walking around town with rector in my pocket. Suddenly someone crashed into me and I fell. " "Ouch!"I exclaimed. I saw a little boy had crashed into me. He was crying. " Are you alright?" I asked him. He shook his head no still crying. He said in between sobs " I was with my mommy and-and I don't know where she went." He raised up his head and I saw his eyes. One blue one red, quite weird if you asked me. He held my hand and he asked me to take him to this house. It had been about five minutes when we came to an abandoned looking building and he let go of my hand. It felt really weird, the atmosphere was just different. "Thank you kind big sister!" He said to me smirking. He then jumped up and gave me a kiss on the cheek and suddenly I felt really tired. I blinked once and there was a man with the glowing red eyes, not like Damian's or Rogers. They were the eyes of an intensity D. I nearly fell to the ground and I heard a gunshot. It was the sound of an anti vampire gun and a certain model that only Damian had. The dust of the intensity D fell to the ground and soon after so did I.
I awoke to the sight of William Mann quarreling with Damian. William Mann was apparently the second best after Roger. The girls always tried to get to the front just to get a look at him. He had black hair and cold blue yes I guess he was okay looking. I immediately sat up because William is the son of the leader of the vampires. He's what they call a pure blood, and if another vampire sucks a pure bloods blood they become immune to becoming an intensity D unless they are already a pure blood themselves. If a pure blood sucks a humans blood then they become a pure blood. They stopped arguing for a moment and William looked at me and yeah it was awkward as most things are with me. William sat on the couch next to me and said " What did the child who was with you look like?" Even though I cleared my throat a number of times my voice came out squeaking "His eyes were different colors." " A vampire child." He replied. I stood up thanked the two and ran back to my dorm room. Yes ran. Winter was out shopping more than likely and I just plopped on the bed. Wanting to talk to her. She was so easy to talk to. I was there for about twenty minutes when someone knocked on the door. " Who is it?!" I yelled through my pillow. " It's Roger." Was the shocking reply. I quickly fixed my sheets sat up and said " come in." I fixed everything because if I didn't Roger would probably say some stupid sarcastic comment. Yeah, he has issues. He came in and I asked him what he wanted . He sat down next to me and said that he wanted me to know something about myself. He told me in my ear and when he was done I told him " Get out!" "GET OUT!" I screamed at him. He left and I saw him snicker. What he told me was just unbelievable, Geez I hate that guy! I hate him so much, and I don't usually use the word hate but,I hate him like Julianna hates missing lunch and you know that's a pretty big thing.I have to talk to someone about this. It was10:20 when I was heading to the headmaster's house, 10 minutes til curfew. I saw Damian and I wanted to tell them but I got that feeling like when I was with William. That sort of feeling when I can't talk. I ran past him into the headmaster's house. I sat down on one of the velvet chairs and asked him what he knew about me having a brother and sister. He turned away and said " I don't know very much about your past life except that you have a brother named Sebastian. "Alright." I sighed. I bet that Roger was just toying with me. I mean I could never have another sibling. It was abnormal enough for a family of vampire hunters to have twins but triplets is just unbelievable. People always called us the cursed two it couldn't be the cursed three, that would be really bad.Unless she was older than Sebastian and I. I left the headmasters place and headed back to my wing of the campus. As I opened the door to my hallway a dark figure came out...
The figure turned out to be William. I stood there dumbfounded for a moment. I regained my " consciousness" and asked " What are you doing here?" He smiled a cold smile much like the coldness of his eyes. He handed me an envelope and left. I ran back to my room. What's with that guy?! I opened the letter and it said that there is a party next Saturday and that I am cordially invited. Winter was sleeping over with Maria down the hall so I twirled around my room until a knock sounded on my door. "What did you forget winter?" I asked opening the door. To my surprise it was not winter it was Damian. And I was in my pajamas. I quickly shut the door and asked "what is it?" From inside my room. He replied " I can't say it out here the walls in the place are too thin. "Fine,come in." I said opening the door for him after making myself look slightly presentable. He sat on the floor and I sat on my bed. "So what is it?" I asked. He asked me speaking loudly " Do you think I should go reprimand all of the girls in the dorms for listening to our conversation?!" There was a series of bumping and clashing the other girls moving away from the walls and ceilings and doors. He whispered "The real reason is because, did you get invited to William's party?" I replied whispering "Yeah and I assume you were invited too." "Yeah." He said no longer whispering. I asked smiling " What are you going to wear?" " What do you mean?" He asked. I looked at him and laughed out loud. Random note to you : How To LOL by Scarlett Meilleure.
step 1) look absolutely serious. step 2) smirk a bit. step 3) straighten up with smirk. step 4) laugh and cry and be awesome with it. I could tell that Damian had no idea why I was laughing, but I couldn't explain it. His reaction was just so funny. I shoved him out of the door and laughed some more. When I was completely calmed down and not laughing Damian began whisper singing from the other side of the door "shaking in red,in red, in red." I finished the sentence "to the edge of the dream, the dream." "We can't be separated." We sang together. "Goodnight Scarlett." Damian whispered. "Good night,sleep well." I replied to him. I heard his footsteps leave and it was exactly 12:00. Goodnight I repeated to myself as I laid curled up on the bed. I sung the song in my head. Shaking in red,in red, in red to the edge of the dream,the dream we can't be separated.
The week passed by so quickly. Shoving girls back to their dorms and such was as normal as that goes. Finally it was Saturday. In the morning winter was still sleeping and I saw a package at the foot of my bed. I read the tag cloud “From : William Be sure to wear this okay?” I opened the box and it was a really nice dress and it was red with small roses all over it. I tried it on and fixed my brown tangled mess of hair into a style that looked nice, and I inspected my emerald eyes. I wore red high heels with little bows on them and gazed at myself in the mirror. I looked like a different person. Winter sat up looked at me rubbed her eyes and had a reaction similar to “Whoah Oh my gosh thats my roommate?!” I said “I’m going to a party later.” she said questioningly “ With who?” She grabbed the box and saw the tag. “You are going to a party with Wil-li-am!” She laughed her head off and when she finally calmed down I told her that it will be just a formal event. There was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" I asked. "It's Damian, please open the door quickly." I opened the door with my eyes closed and asked "Why do you need me to open the door...so...quickly. I opened my eyes. Woah! "Damian you, ummm." Damian looked at me and stuttered " Do-don't make such a big deal out of it." Winter got up from her bed and scooted to look over. My shoulder. She said in her dreamy state "Scarlett, who's that?" I looked at her "You know this person." I hinted. She asked questioningly "I do?" I rolled my eyes and said "Geez winter it's Damian!" She gawked at me then Damian and she scooted back to her bed disappointedly.I looked at Damian again. He was wearing a suit with one little Red rose, and didn't look like the Damian I know.
Naze is japanese for why, and right now Naze is the only word I need to use. A story played out for me. It was all hazy a distant memory. I was walking home with my brother Sebastian when we saw a lady. Sebastian asked me squeezing my hand a bit " What is such a beautiful woman doing here Scarlett?,... she's crying!" I said to him " Stay back she's a vampire. " Sebastian looked down and squeaked "oh." We got into the house and it was night time. Mom,Dad we're back!" I called to our parents. When they didn't reply I grabbed a knife from the kitchen and I went upstairs Sebastian behind me. We were around 11 at the time and that lady was upstairs. We came to find her with blood smeared all over her. Not thinking I ran at her and I tried to cut her with the knife. She ended up cutting me and I uttered "Sebastian run!" I opened my eyes and sat up breathing heavy. My roommate looked at me "Scarlett are you alright?" She said in that worried tone. I layed back down and said " I'm fine Winter." Winter fell asleep again but I couldn't. The sun came up and it was 8:00 Friday the best day. 30 minutes to get ready. I changed into my black and white uniform and rushed out of the door. I ate breakfast and then ran into class. In history (the first period) we talked about Egyptians and how they helped shape our society. Then we had Algebra and everyday Mr. Carlson falls asleep. Then we had science chinese and lunch came. At lunch I usually sit with Winter, Autumn, Summer, and Rose. They are all nice and at lunch they always manage to make me laugh. We finally had art and all classes were over. Except it's after five so I had to run all the way to the other side of campus. I'm school prefect and at Hope academy that does not mean what you think it does.
It means that at 5:55 I have to run to the other side of campus and get there by 6:00. After that it's basically Damian and I trying to fend off the day students. By day students I mean that there are day classes and night classes. The day class students are always trying to see the "Famous" night students. Of course no one except the headmaster, Damean and I know about the true nature of the night students. They are vampires, but they aren't evil they are kind and uh-oh here they come. The "king" of the night students Roger Divas even had the guts to say "Did you girls dream of me last night?" Of course the girls all started squealing "YES!" I just looked at him and then he winked at me and I just rolled my eyes which definitely gave him a shock. He came closer to me and shouted " Today I will be in Scarlet Meilleures dreams." I glared at him and pushed girls that tried to fight their ways up to the night students. "What do you think you all are doing?! go back to your dorms!" shouted a voice. It was Damian. The girls all sighed " Things were going well till you showed up." Damian glared at them and every single girl kept quiet and slowly retreated to their dorms and the rest of the night students walked out of their area. "Thanks Damian." I said stretching.I added "Those girls are tougher than they look." Damian looked at me and I looked away. " ummm, thanks anyway." While were talking it got darker and darker until it was nearly pitch black. I heard a rustle of the bushes and I grabbed my stick. It wasn't really a stick because if you pushed the two buttons it would extend. I like to call it the rector because as prefect Damian and I protect the school at night.
So I then pushed the buttons and jumped over the bush. " Who ever you are show yourself!" I shouted. Damian stood behind me and the rustling noise happened again and **** two guys emerged from the bushes. I said sternly " State your business here!" One of the two replied "We have been sent by the VVHA." I stepped back and Damian shouted " The Vampires and Vampire Hunters Association, What do they want?!" The other one of the two said " They would like to assign the ones called Scarlett Meilleure and Damian Remas to a case of a vampire who has recently become an intensity D. " "Intensity D." I echoed. In unison the two asked "Where can we find Scarlett and Damian?" Damian replied "you're looking at them." I went to go see the headmaster about this. He came to the door being weird and going on and on about dinner and other random stuff. I stayed with him for dinner and we were having lemon crusted tilapia ,mashed potatoes and grape juice. Pretty good quality dinner I'd say. He was still talking gibberish until he said " Do you want to tell me something? You can tell anything to your father!" I interrupted "My adopted father." I said in a low tone almost a whisper " The VVHA came to school today." He grew serious stood and exclaimed "WHAT?!, What do they want?!" I said " They want Damian and me to solve an intensity D case." The headmaster screamed " They can take Damian but not my darling Scarlett!" We finished dinner and Damian came in. Headmaster said sitting on the couch " Intensity D, The worst place to be The vampires who hurt humans because they have lost control, Why would they want you two to do something like that?" He looked at me and I replied " I don't know." Damian stated " They probably want me because I might succumb to intensity D at any time." He said it so calmly and I just. Ughh! Tomorrow is Saturday when we get the intensity D.
I was walking around town with rector in my pocket. Suddenly someone crashed into me and I fell. " "Ouch!"I exclaimed. I saw a little boy had crashed into me. He was crying. " Are you alright?" I asked him. He shook his head no still crying. He said in between sobs " I was with my mommy and-and I don't know where she went." He raised up his head and I saw his eyes. One blue one red, quite weird if you asked me. He held my hand and he asked me to take him to this house. It had been about five minutes when we came to an abandoned looking building and he let go of my hand. It felt really weird, the atmosphere was just different. "Thank you kind big sister!"
