Chapter 266
POV
ou want to be amittee member?” I asked, staring up at the gorgeous–looking vampire with
what must have been disbelief written all over my face.
I’m sure Ba and Brody both looked about the same.
Does it look like I’m joking?” She asked, rolling her eyes.
“I suppose not,” I said, chuckling nervously. “What is your name?”
“Skr Bat,” she muttered.
My heart nearly jumped out of my chest; she was a Bat? As in Albert Bat and udette
Bat?
Albert and udette basically owned the fashion industry. They were definitely vampires, but they were
the most popr vampires to ever exist when it came to fashion, design, and modeling.
That’s why Skr looked familiar to me; I had seen her in magazines before. That also exins the
high–end boots and ck cashmere jacket she wore.
I nced sideways at Ba whose mouth was practically on the ground; Brody, of course, was
clueless. He didn’t know much of anything about fashion; but I knew the Bat’s were huge, which
made Skr huge.
“If you’re done gawking at me, can I fill out the form or not?” Skr asked, rolling her eyes at us.
“Oh yes,” I said a little too quickly, sliding it over to her.
She sat down in the seat in front of me and started to fill out the form in perfect cursive.
“I’m sorry, but may I ask why you want to join themittee?” I found myself asking, making her pause
and nce up at me. “It’s just that, vampires don’t typically like school events or activities… so I’m a
little confused.”
She put the pen down and leaned back in her seat to look me over carefully. I felt my face warming
instantly.
“My parents are making me take an extra curriculum,” she muttered, sounding extremely annoyed.
“Something about wanting the world to know the Bat’s aren’t just about looks. We also have
brains.”
uld be good to have a vampire on themittee,” Brody shrugged,
over at me. “I mean, we have all the other species.”
‘t realized that until he spoke those words; but he really was right. had a bear, wolves, and a fairy, all
we needed toplete the
ommittee was a vampire. I wanted themittee to appeal to all tudents, including vampires. So,
having a vampire on themittee was only right.
“We would love to have you, Skr,” I said to her, giving her a fond smile. She didn’t return the smile;
she stared at me with an expression I couldn’t read. Then, she grabbed the pen and continued to fill out
the form.
“When are meetings?” She asked without looking at me.
“We were nning on holding them at 2 in the afternoon…” I began to say but then froze when I saw
her hand pausing.
She was a vampire; she couldn’t be here at 2 in the afternoon. Vampires don’t burn up in the sun, but
they are ufortable and if they get enough exposure, then they will get sick. I couldn’t let that
happen to my newmittee member.
“But that’ll obviously have to change,” I continued, trying to appear as casual as I could. “What time do
you start your first ss at night?”
“9 pm,” she answered. “Is that an issue?”
“No, of course not,” I said, a little too quickly. I wondered if she could tell just how nervous I was; I
clearly had no experience when it came to talking to vampires. “Sundown is at 7 and curfew is at 9
during the week. So, maybe we can have the meeting at 8?”
“That works for me,” Brody said with a nod.
“Me too,” Ba said as well.
“Great,” Skr said as she finished filling out the form. She slid it across the counter and toward me.
She really did have great handwriting.
“When’s the first meeting?” She asked, pulling out a little ck notebook from the bag she kept slung
over her shoulder.
“Tomorrow,” I told her.
“Should we meet here?”
I nced at the paper to make sure she listed her phone number.
“I’ll text you and let you know,” I answered.
If she said as she wrote in her notebook, “See you tomorrow.
stood and with long and confident strides made her way out of the ent lounge, leaving nearly everybody
staring after her.
What just happened?” Ba finally found her voice.
We just got a vampire in ourmittee,” I said, still staring at the door. Holy crap.
“How many more members do we need?” Brody asked, staring at our list of members. I knew he was
probably thinking about Sarah. I hadn’t even brought up the idea of adding Sarah to the other
members, but I knew they wouldn’t be happy with that choice.
“Two,” I answered. “We lost the other two fromst year. So far, we have you two, Rachel if she ever
wants to show up, Ka, Skr, and me. To be a fullmittee we need at least 8 members, but
ideally, I’d like 10.” We stayed silent for a short while; I was so lost in my own thoughts that I didn’t
realize Headmaster Prescott was approaching our table.
“Good afternoon,” Prescott said as she stopped at our table. “How’s the recruitment going?”
“We got one more person,” I told her. “We need at least 2 more.”
“Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that,” Brody blurted, making us all look at him. My stomach
clenched because I knew exactly what he was going to say. I just didn’t think now was the right time.
“I’m listening,” Prescott said, eyeing him carefully.
“It’s about Sarah…”
Her smile shifted and now she was looking at him pointedly.
“What about Sarah?” She asked.
“I know she’s banned from any extra curriculums or activities. But I don’t think that’s fair. I think she
should still be part of something, or else she’s never going to work as a team. She needs to learn to get
along with others and not rely on her abilities to get her through. I think we should have her be a
member,” Brody spoke with such confidence that I was impressed.
Prescott raised her brows at him, and I heard Ba gasping at his words.

“Sarah caused a lot of issues for many students,” Prescott reminded him. “What makes you think she
can be trusted.”
“I guess I just have faith in her,” Brody replied. “I think this would be

for her and it’ll teach her that we work better as a team. Plus, I think ould be a good punishment for her
to work under E. Don’t you
rescott looked at me and I felt my face warming under the intensity of her stare.
And you’ve spoken about this together?” She asked, still staring at me. Brody brought it up to me
earlier,” I confessed.
And you find this to be a good idea as well?”
I was quiet for a moment as I allowed her question to settle in the air between us. I nced at Brody
who refused to meet my eyes and then I looked at Ba who was pale as a ghost. I knew she didn’t
like this idea whatsoever; I also knew she wouldn’t be the only one.
I looked back at Prescott and squared my shoulders; trying to appear as confident as I could.
“If I’m honest, I’m not really sure if Sarah can be trusted. But I do trust Brody and if he thinks giving her
a chance is a good idea, then I suppose no harm coulde from it. If she oversteps, we can always
kick her off themittee.”
Prescott was quiet for a moment as she thought about this and then she soon nodded; I felt
Brody/rxing beside me.
“She can be part of themittee, but she won’t participate in any school events. Understood?”
Prescott said firmly, making us all nod immediately, even Ba.
“Thank you so much,” Brody said, bowing his head in respect to her. Before she left, she turned to me.
“Oh, that reminds me. I have a ssroom for you,” she said, giving me a fond smile,
She reached into her briefcase pulling out a small baggie with a bunch of little keys in them. She ced
the baggie on the table and slid it toward
1. me.
The baggie read:
“You’re giving us an entire ssroom?” I asked, gawking at her.
She nodded.
“The studentmittee is going to need a real ce to work,” she answered. “You are in charge of
maintaining it.”
Her And He Liked It
you so much,” I said, hardly able to contain my excitement. ody and Ba took a key from the baggie.
you get more members, send me the list so I can put it in my
Headmaster Prescott said, giving me a wink before she turned alked away.
can’t believe we get a whole ssroom,” I said, staring at the baggie th disbelief.
I can’t believe you didn’t tell me we are adding Sarah to themittee,” Ba said, narrowing her
eyes at me. “Everybody else is not going to be happy.”
I felt myself sliding down my seat in defeat; I knew she was right. I’m not sure what I’m going to do.
