She wondered if he had an underlying motive for her, seeing as how the last person who had "helped her out" ended up turning her into a vampire and forcing her into the night. She watched him as he wrote down his number and handed it to her, automatically memorizing it in case she lost the paper. She nodded at his instructions, smiling thankfully at him, her mouth opening to speak, but the bell rang to signal the start of homeroom. With a gentle nod to her head, she promised that she would keep her mouth closed. The rest of the day flew by for her, the only highlight being British Literature as she astonished her teacher with the facts of Jane Austen and Lord Byron that were not well known. The last bell rang, signaling the end of the school day, and after Catriana had gotten her books from her locker, she went to the back entrance to wait for Mike as he asked.
