The new teacher, Dalos has something special, the rumors said. I have decided to seek the hidden truth of this myth. “Mr. Dalos, may I ask you a question?” I politely asked Mr. Dalos. “Yes, what is it?” He replied to my request. “Rumors said you have something peculiar, what is it?” I asked straight forwardly. “That was entirely false, what can I have that is peculiar?” he said directly, but I can...
It's highly unlikely that he's an alien sent by the Mars government to spy on us. I’ve already scratched that one off the list ‘cause I’d totally know if there was an alien around me.
He’s probably not a zombie either. Definitely not a superhero.
After scratching nearly every possibility off the list, I’m starting to think that he’s just weird, unusual, peculiar.
He’s not normal. He wears his...

Katya:
As we built our relationship, Elijah became more and more protective. He also became a lot more secretive. I knew he was hiding something and I was determined to get to the bottom of it. I’d been spending so much time occupied by spying on him, that I hadn’t realized when my grades started to slip. When I first noticed, I was quick to get on top of my assignments. However, as it went on, I ...
Elijah:
I really did mean it when I said it. I swear! I wanted to change for her. I was absolutely mesmerized by her, and I could never completely cut myself off from her. I also didn’t want to cut myself off from the other students. I was really into all of them. As much as I truly liked Katya, I didn’t want to give up the other hook-ups. I was in my 20’s, what was I supposed to be doing? Honestl...
Katya:
I ran home and headed straight to my room. I cried and cried, as I felt my nose start to stuff up. I can’t believe him, I thought. After all the back and forth, now he wants things to be over. He was the one pursuing me the entire time. God, how horrid can you treat someone? I could report him. No. I could never say that someone took advantage of me. I’m too smart for that. I chose for this...
Elijah:
I knew that she was special from the very first day. More special than any other girl I’d ever met. I admired how dedicated she was to school, and extracurriculars. You could tell that she didn’t like to fall behind. That’s how I knew that something was wrong when she didn’t show up at school for a week. Of course I immediately clued in that it was my fault. The only thing stopping me from...
Katya:
I remember the first time I met Mr. Grells. He was my English teacher. I was a naive little 12th grader. I had dark, black hair that fell below my waist, I wore a tight pair of blue jeans, and I had a short-sleeved, lavender top on. But most of all, I had a dream to be in love that I just couldn’t shake. I saw him writing his name on the white board on the first day of school, and I was ins...
My suspicions started when I saw Mr. Thern gulping down a thick red liquid during a lunch period. It was dripping down the sides of his lips like he couldn’t get enough.
You may think my imagination got ahead of me but my instincts were correct.
The more I followed and watched, the more sinister Mr. Thern became.
I watched Mr. Thern grind meat and bone down into his red smoothies that I saw him...
