Chapter 1: Cautions

"Almost done…Ouch!" Gabby groaned and blew the burnt of her hand while holding her unfinished toy car. She needed to finish this toy car project since it was due today and she hadn't had a week to finish it since she forgot to do it. She was busy with the exam that is close to coming to her.

"Gabby, come on we're going to be late for school!!" someone yelled at her from downstairs.

"Hold up I'm coming…come on car dry up faster" Gabby grabs her things from her bed and runs downstairs like Sonic The Hedgehog.

"Do you really want to get kicked out of your school for the many tardies you have?" came a sharp voice from a lady standing at the front door.

"So sorry Grandma Petty, I was just trying to finished this project that was du-"

"Quit the chit chatting and go to the vehicle." Lady Petronile pointed a black Mercedes car outside. Gabby ran to the car and sat next to her cousin Greyson Moltenore. And the vehicle started and headed to the high school.

Gabby was quiet and nervous since she didn't know if her project would work or not. She was listening to music in her airpods until her cousin annoyed her. "Why do you make us be late for school everyday?"

"Shut up Greyson. At least you don't need to worry about projects and exams like I do." Gabby glared while Greyson rolled his eyes.

"That true Greyson, you should be grateful that you're not in senior year like us and only in freshman year." explained Audrey. Greyson, Audrey, and Henry Moltenore are the children of Tristian and Piper Moltenore. Henry is the oldest, Audrey is the middlest and Greyson is the youngest.

"Whatever" Greyson spat.

Once they got there, Gabby was the first one to get out of the car and rushed to her classroom that was on the second floor of her school building. Opening the door, all of her classmates stared at her weirdly.

"Miss Moltenore, again tardy in my classroom…Detention!" said Mrs. Flores, her strict history teacher. Gabby widened her eyes and opened her mouth wide.

"Mrs. Flores, it was only two minutes late, why would y-"

"No talking back and get to your seat." Mrs. Flores snapped. Gabby sat in her seat and opened her history book to the page where everyone is on right now. "I want everyone to be reading on page 345 to 351, once you're done, answer the question on the next page."

When there was 2 minutes left until the bell was about to ring, Mrs. Flores said "Starting tomorrow you will all have a project presentation about which University or College you will go to. I want to know the History, the Image, the Financial, Interesting Fact and so on." She paced back and forth from each row, " I want it due on April 21st at 3:00 pm sharp and no late project will be accepted, no matter what." She gave a small glare at Gabby while the bell rang.

Gabby got out of her classroom and went straight to her locker. She was about to opened it when someone spoke, "I heard that you got detention for being late again Gabby"

Gabby started and spun quickly to see who caught her. "Damn don't do that again and yea what about it?"

"What do you mean 'what about it?' Gabby you're gonna get more into trouble and your parents won't be too happy about it" Emily glittery blue eyes looking at her very worried. Emily had blonde hair and blue eyes since she was the daughter of Maximus and Olivia Marudas.

"Don't worry about it Emily, it's just detention that all come on let go to our next period." Gabby pulled Emily by grabbing her hand and went straight to the next class. After finishing two more classes, Gabby went to the Cafeteria to get lunch and sat with her friends.

"So, did you finish your Robbie toy car that was due today?" questioned Brandon.

"I think so, it just needs to get dry a bit" Gabby responded with a small smile.

"I am looking forward to it" suggests Nicholas with his mouth full. His sister glared at him. "You are really stupid aren't you…you don't even belong to our classroom."

"And? I might sneak out of mine and see the contest. I really want to see if your Robbie will actually work since you barely had time to work on it", Nicholas grinned.

"Well I will be looking forward to it and see if you get caught by Mr. Robinson…again" said Gabby, slurping her milkshake. Whenever Gabby and her friends are in school, they need to hide their true self of their vampire existence since they all are in a public high school. In the Campus, nobody knows about them being vampires or any other creature since when they were all younger, they were taught to camouflage like the humans for no one to be suspicious about them.

"Hey Emily, do you think you have fruit punchies in your bag since I'm all out and I'm starving" asked Chloe.

"Ummm no I don't think I have some in my bag or in my locker. Sorry about that" replied Emily while she was digging in her stuff. Chloe groaned and her hunger was rising up so quickly that her friends caught her eyes flickering changing colors from green to red.

"Chloe your eyes are changing"

"Just calm down okay"

"Look, we only have about 3 hours of class left, please hold it."

"Here" Gabby handed Chloe a pair of Gucci sunglasses while her friends were helping Chloe out.

"Okay thanks…wait why you have sunglasses?" Chloe lifted one of her eyebrows.

"Summer…duh" Gabby spat.

Chloe puts on the sunglasses and once everyone finished their meals, they got up and left the cafeteria to attend their leftover classes.

In 6th period, Gabby was shaking nervously with her toy car in her sweaty hands while watching her other classmate showing off their toy car that they built and worked hard for 2 month.

After the 4th group was finished, Gabby and her group were up next, placing Robbie on the floor with the rest of the toy car. She felt a thrill of sweat running down her neck as she was holding her controller firmly to ready to race with her group.

She was really scared, worried and having second thoughts that her car won't work like the other since she barely did it last evening with her Uncle Thomas.

Will Gabby pass this project? Will her toy car Robbie trust her well even though she did this project late?
