"Get out."

"Fine," he muttered.  "Stupid bitch ain't worth my time anyway."

A cold smile curled Kelsey lips and she said, "I'm sorry.  I wasn't here.  I don't mean leave this room. I mean, get out. As in out of my school."

He came up quietly, quickly, so quickly she didn't have the time to avoid him as he placed himself in her path.   He smiled, flashing his fangs at her, and reached up, toyed with the ends of her hair.  "Where you off to in such a hurry, baby?"

"To my room," she said, hoping the ice in her voice would camouflage the fear—even as she knew it wouldn't.
