TIt's still the same.I thought maybe she'ld talk to me.But she won't.It's Biology, we're learning about brain structures.Subject I favoured the most.According to E. Fuller Torrey,''the brain is the most complicated things to be learned about.''And I agree.My professor, Mr. Kane asked us a question about brain of course.
Mrs. Kane:Can somebody tell me what is the ultimate function of paleopalium in the brain?
Nobody seems to know the answer, I know it......
Lyn:Mr. Kane, I think I know the answer..it's feeling.Paleopalium controls feeling.
Mr. Kane:Splendid, Miss Haagen! Now tell me what's the function of arkipalium?
Lyn: Err....I think it functions as a defensive mechanism, It helps to defend the body by showing aggressivity.
Mr. Kane: Now, tell me Miss Haagen, what is the disease called for someone who was born without a brain?
Lyn:It's anenchepal.And one more thing, if you were born with a lot of water in the brain, it is called hydrochepal.
Mr. Kane stared at me with a strange look.I know he was ashamed.Should I did that?I have no hidden agenda.I'm not gaining attention from anyone.I just....sharing the truth,then, what made me felt so guilty is when he turned his face-shamefaced.I'm sorry.I'm the new hot doll there.Because, I'm the first one to answer every Kane's questions aptly.
Astrid:Wow, I admit you're great.
Lyn:Why?
Astrid:You know Kane?I hate him,last year he failed me.I should get B+ instead of C-.That's not fair.Now, an eye for an eye.I love his red face.
Lyn:I think you shouldn't do that,we can't hate others.But..
Astrid:It's not only me who hate that ane.Lots of peole hate him.
I smiled to her.
THE REGINA'S LULLABY ( ice queen )
Wonder how I know a lot about Astrid?I'm a vampire, of course I can take a sneak peek at her-no bathroom scenes!I'm not that het up!I still respect her as a human,somebody I should guide, to find herself, long lost Astrid.I watch with my super-duper sharp eye,how tears rolling down her rosy cheeks,yeah ,mom and dad forgot her birthday.They threw an apologetic look to her and some expensive gifts.So embarassing.
Thursday,29th June:I went to school like usual,wearing a plain blue t-shirt and a knee-length skirt-it's classic.It was History class, I sit just beside Astrid, I wish to say hi to her, but will she accept me as a friend?I don't have a Marc Jacobs handbag,let alone a Cadillac!But, I most go into her world, try to change her, so she won't repeat the same mistake I did hundred of years ago.Arrogance....it's devastating, it makes you feel like a Regina or a Queen,for a while.Nothing's free in this world, everything must be paid off.
That morning-recess, I saw her eating puttanesca at the bench in the school's garden...I approached her...
Lyn:Hi, I'm Lynette, Lynette Haagen, I'm new here, and i'ld really love to make friends here.
Astrid:(with a boring look)Whatever,friends bring nothing to you...so save your time, don't waste it here.I'm not interested with a ''warm new friends' conversation.''
Lyn:I know how it's like, living alone, you have whatever you want, but actually they're just a mask, to hide your misery,to keep people an arm length from you.Don't be mad, I'm not going to be a wiseacre or what..I'm just.....
Astrid:Trying to butt in my personal life?I know I'm a cocky rich brat!People hate me!That I ....
Lyn:Need a friend?To talk to?I can be a shoulder to cry on and I can be a shield to protect you from grief...I've no hidden agenda to be friends with you,I'm sincere, deep to the core.I wish we could be friends.
Astrid:(stunned)I.......I....need to go....and I don't need a pal-at all.
I faked a smile, watch her going away,she still has it-the second chance.

THE REGINA'S LULLABY ( miss perfectionist )
But, I found this girl,Astrid Mignonette Kirchnerr.She resembles me in the past.She is the only daughter for a really,really rich couple.Mr. Kirchnerr is the owner of the largest real estate bussiness in Virginia,and he's going to open a new branch in Manhattan by July!I know this type of girl, she gets everything she wants, but everything she wants is not what she needs.She needs love from mommy and daddy.Mom, a beautiful first-class socialite,every night dine at the hotel with her damn rich socialite friends.Leaving poor Astrid alone, maids as companions.Just look at her wardrobe, you can see loads of Gucci handbags, Christian Louboutins' killer heels, heavenly, a masterpiece Versace gowns!Of course, mom and dad's presents for the time they missed,for every single moment they leave her alone, embrace loneliness.Opps, haven't I mentioned yet about her louder-than-loud ''Angel'' by Thierry Mugler perfume?It is a perfume that exudes classical sensuality,oozes extraordinary airy and light feeling.Ha-ha!And once again mom and dad foot the bill.They don't have to even pay throught their nose, they're wealthy.But, Mr and Mrs. Kirchnerr were wrong!Money can't buy everything!Astrid turns out to be a snobbish girl,she hates every cheap items,she would puke if she accidentally swallow cheap foods and beverages.''I need a better nourishment!'' That's what she said.
THE REGINA'S LULLABY ( lover or loner )
''Nobody can wear mask for a very long time''That's what Seneca said.That's what haunting me all this while.After hundreds of years, yes, I still living in fear.What would likely happen to me if those homo sapiens know who am I?There's nothing worse, maybe they're going to rip me off and burn me or...maybe they're going to 'poke' myself with a silver stick and let me die....in disgrace,next destination-HELL,of course.I never ask for this, after 154 years, living alone, no family to love, no pals to mingle with......what do I have, huh?Oh, I know!I have a packet of Yevova tea, to abstain me from my uncontrollable bloodlust, yeah.How terrible my life is,I'm cursed, living a half-life.Migrating like a bird, so people won't find out that I'm actually a 154 year-old vampire!This monologue,why can only me hear it?I feel like screaming!I would love to tell the world that I worth a life,I am not evil,I only eat animals' blood!And...yeah, I forget one thing-I am indeed a MONSTER,that must be vanquished.
I miss my past life so much.I got a lot of maids to take care of me,to help me to put on a corset, so I'll look slimmer-wow.Everywhere I go, of course chaperoned by Margaret, she's like a mom to me.I used to be a ladyship,Mademoiselle Raquelle Van Der Blanc.Now, I've to change my name....every time I migrate.....I got a list of them:
1954-Rosaleen Whiston
1970-Brigitte Johannsson
1995-Lily Hubbart
2010-Lynette Haagen
Life as Lynette is not so challenging, nobody knows I'm a freak!They think I am just an ordinary girl from Corpus Cristi,come to Buffalo, Virginia to just study here.I'm new here, so they don't really know me.
