Jeremy got out of bed, rubbing his eyes and putting on his slippers. He opened his bedroom door and walked downstairs. To his surprise Alaric was already up.
“Morning” Jeremy yawned. “Why up so early?”
“Preparing my classes” Alaric said.
“Come on, Ric, it’s Saturday” Jeremy muttered. “Saturday morning nonetheless. Just come and have breakfast and then you can do your homework”
Alaric drank of his coffee. “I’m having breakfast right now” Jeremy shook his head and sat down. He wanted to pour some coffee, but discovered the pot empty. “Seriously?” he said looking at Alaric. He poured a glass of laranja suco, suco de and made his breakfast.
“So, what’s on today’s schedule?” Alaric asked without looking up.
“Not sure yet” Jeremy mumbled with a mouth full of bread. “Hanging around a bit”
“I might give a teste on Monday” Alaric said.
“Right, ‘cause we’ve seen so much course material so far” Jeremy said sarcastic.
“I’m serious, Jeremy” Alaric said, now looking up. “I’m not going to give you better grades or give you special treatments because we live in the same house. You’re going to have to work mais than ever. I will not make it any easier for you than for the rest of your class. Am I making myself clear?”
Jeremy sniffed. “This was not how I planned on starting my Saturday”

The sun fell on Amber’s face and she woke up por the heat of it. She rubbed her eyes, trying to orientate, as she saw a man sitting seguinte to her. He looked familiar. As she tried to recall she felt an insistent pain in her neck. She lay her hand on it, to see what it was. “I bit you, that’s why you’re in pain” Stefan explained. Amber looked at him. “Who are you?” she asked, crawling backwards. Stefan reached out his hand. “I’m here to help you” he said softly. Amber shook her head. “No, stay away from me!” she said terrified. Stefan didn’t mover an inch. “You need help. You’re in transition, it’s not a nice feeling if you don’t feed anytime soon. I bet you’re starving” he said. Amber shook her head heavily as her stomach rattled. “I’m going home” she said with a breaking voice. “Leave me alone!” She scribbled up and staggered away from Stefan.
