I took the time to go on the bus that came to Valtiel Academy to a clothes mall with Venu, Fenti didn't have time to shop, and she already had a nice bathing suit. I shopped for a nice swimsuit or bikini. The store had so many different colors and designs, I was in paradise. I had narrowed down 2 different ones. A deep blue one-piece with shimmer on the straps, and a jet-black bikini that was holographic. "Hmm... I like the blue one," she said, "You should try them both!" I went into a changing room. Some clothes were laying there, but I saw one bathing suit hanging up next to the mirror. It was also blue, but it was lighter. It was a one-piece, and strapless. It shined in the light and had lighter blue accents. I fell in love when I saw it. I tried it on and showed Venu. She saw me, and she took off her sunglasses. "That is not one of the ones you picked out," she said, as I worried. "but it is beautiful! It fits you so, so, so well!" It was a bit expensive, but I couldn't resist this bathing suit. I bought it and I paid. We went back on the bus at around 3:00 and got back to Valtiel Academy. I still had two hours till I wanted to get ready for the party. I decided to take a walk around campus. I mean, it's the first weekend of the semester. When I was walking around I saw multiple first-years talking about Mariana's party. A lot of girls had been invited and were just waiting to go and try on their dresses, swimsuits, and heels. One girl had a white dress and another one had a blue dress. I, unfortunately, did not expect people were wearing their absolute best. I forgot to buy them when I was at the mall. Oh well. I just walked along. After about 15 minutes, I ended up outside the gym again. The gym wasn't busy but students were running in and out of the building. I sighed. Maybe I can take a different way out... To explore a little more. I found the door across the gym. It was pretty dim down there. I didn't care that much. I went through it, and surprisingly, it wasn't locked. I would have expected it to be locked, seeing that kind of door would be locked. I went through the door and saw a dark dark corridor. It smelled of musk and was abandoned. As I made my way along the dark corridor and started feeling scared, I heard something rustling from behind me. I stopped in place, my breathing becoming quick and hard. I could hear something moving in the darkness. But it didn't feel like anything supernatural, it felt alive and... evil. It was so extreme, the feeling. I just left the corridor. I pretended I was never there. Nobody paid attention. I checked the time. How was it already 5:00? I checked the time before and it was only 4:00... What happened? Did, a time break in that happen? I-I don't know. I couldn't think. I didn't want to think. I went to the dorm room. After getting inside and locking the door I let out a big sigh of relief. Everything is alright. I just saw Fenti there, like normal. I went over to the window and looked out at the campus. I think I need time to get ready. "Ralina, I think we need to get ready!" Fenti yelled from the other room. I guess she is also psychic. I checked through my dresser for some nice clothes. I found a basic white dress with a blue ribbon on the waist and some combat boots. I chose these. I decided against going with heels though, because then I'd just look even taller. I also decided against using makeup to change my makeup style, so I settled for putting in a touch of concealer, eyeliner, and some blue eye-shadow. I wanted to match the ribbon. by the time I was done, it was 5:45 PM. I grabbed my bag and headed toward the exit. The weather was starting to get warmer. I could see clouds in the sky. It was perfect weather for a swimming pool party. I checked my card that Mariana gave me. It said the house was on 5372 Teneiora Avenue. That's where her house is. I arrived at 5:55 PM at the house which was very beautiful, in a traditional sense of the word. I rang the doorbell. Mariana opened the door. She was wearing a glamorous black dress with sequins on the skirt. Her hair was up in a bun, exposing her pink stitched neck, covered in glitzy necklaces she always wore. She was Frankenstein's granddaughter, after all. She smiled widely when she saw me standing at her doorstep. She hugged me tightly and pulled away after a moment, looking at me.
"Thank you for coming! Come in!" She smiled widely. "Of course!" I smiled back at her. I walked into the beautiful house, and tons of girls talking. There was quite a lot of people here. They all seemed to be dressed nicely too. All except for Venu. She was dressed, and she covered up, like she always did, because she was a vampire. Then again she always does seem to look good in those things. I sat on one of the couches in the living room and looked around. This house is huge. I wonder how much money all these people must have. I sat on the couch and stared out of the large windows that were set up all over the wall to the right of the couch. It was September, so it didn't start getting too dark out yet. I wanted to start swimming, so I went to the bathroom and opened my bag for my new swimsuit. The blue glistened in the light. When I came out, Fenti was sitting on an armchair. She was reading, looking at her phone. "Is Venu not joining us?" I asked her. "No, Venu doesn't want to go swimming, she might possibly do it later, it's still sunny," she responded. Oh yeah, I totally forgot she was a vampire. "Let me change real quick," she said, as she was going to the washroom. She returned wearing a blue and gold swimsuit. She also wore her hair was up in a ponytail. "So do we need any sunscreen?" She asked. "Uh, I think we'll be fine. It's still bright out, but it's not too bright or hot,' I said. She nodded and stood up. "Well, shall we go swimming? There's no point in staying here." She suggested. I agreed. So we left the house and entered through the glass sliding doors. We saw the gigantic glamorous pool, full with many students and floats.. There were multiple poolside lounge chairs also. Venu was sitting under an umbrella in one of them. And another was bedazzled with many colorful things. Of course, Karen was sitting there. That was probably the one she always had in her home. She was trying to the the queen of the pool party. However, Mariana outshined her. Her white swimsuit with beads and gemstones was glamorous. Rumor was, this were real gems. Of course waterproof. Then there was Tracy sitting next to her. Similar swimsuit, but black instead of white. They both had matching butterfly sunglasses. Mariana saw me and waved. Tracy then asked her if she wanted to swim. She nodded, and Fenti wanted to swim too. I came with her and we splashed into the pool. It was a little cold, but not that cold... I swam around by the hot tub which had all the It Demon girls in. They were laughing and gossiping while taking selfies. At the hot tub were all kinds of people in swimsuits. I noticed a few familiar faces. Venu's sister, Lora. I smiled a little and walked back into the pool. Fenti was nowhere to be seen. "Hey Fenti, where are you?" I asked. I didn't see her at all. All I could see was a bit vibrant party and, a dark shadow behind the bushes...
