Hi guys!

So this is a fanfic that my bff requested from me. She's a HUGE Zero fan, and she wanted me to write a story with her and Zero in it. So here is the first chapter! This story if for you Archita! 3

It had been another long and tedious day at Cross Academy. The sun was just beginning to set behind the distant trees, giving the sky a cheerful purple color with lines of peach and pink spreading across it. The sound of gushing wind ruffling the leaves contributed to the autumn-like atmosphere.

Parked outside of the prestigious academy was a jet black car with its headlights still on. Stepping out of the car was a young Indian girl who went by the name of Archita Chandra. She wore light blue jeans with small flowery designs on the pockets and black converse shoes. Her top consisted of a white button down long-sleeved shirt accompanied by a midnight blue tie. Her black hair shined in the remaining light of the day and her determined brown eyes looked up ahead at what would be her new home for the next four years of her life.

The Day class girls were waiting in their class with great anticipation of seeing their favorite Night Class student. During the last minutes of class, the teacher lost the attention of his students and decided to give up, for he knew if he tried to regain the attention of his students, his attempts would only end in complete and utter failure. Though, even if he did try, he would only earn glares and paper balls thrown back at him, so he instead chose to let the girls carry on with their conversations. All the female students were already musing in their own dreamlands with their one Night Class Vampire. The male students in the class gazed enviously at all the female students, with anger and resentment for the gorgeous night class students whom they could never be like for the main reason that they were humans.

"Ne ne, don't you think that Shiki-senpai has gotten cuter since the beginning of the year?" asked one brown-haired girl sitting in the front row.

"NUH-HUH! Aidou-senpai is so much cuter than Shiki-senpai! Don't you think Aidou-senpai's eyes are just to die for? I wouldn't mind being locked up in a room with him for one night!" exclaimed another giggling girl, also sitting in the front row.

Sitting towards the back of the classroom, at the last row of desks was a certain silver-haired prefect, gazing out the window, waiting for the bell to signal the end of class and therefore the end of the day. He spared a glance towards the yacking imbeciles in the class, then turned his attention back to what lay beyond the window.

"These girls will never shut up. What's so great about blood-sucking beasts who constantly crave blood?" Zero thought to himself. "These idiots don't even know the danger they put themselves in by falling over those blood-lusting savages. And wanting to put yourself in a room with a vampire for one night is absolutely ludicrous!" Zero looked down a couple of rows to find Yuuki, and her best friend Yori conversing amongst themselves.

"Ne, Yori-chan?" Yuuki asked, accompanied by a slight tinge of pink on her cheeks.

"Nani desuka, Yuuki?" Yori replied, her full attention on her friend.

"Well, you know Valentine's Day is coming up right? What do you think I should give to…..to….," Yuuki stammered, trying to search for the proper word.

"You mean Kaname-senpai?" Yori asked.

"Eh?...Yeah. What do you think I should give him? I would like to give him some chocolates or some flowers but he's a guy so I don't think he would appreciate girly stuf-…..," Yuuki went on. Zero zoned half way through Yuuki's speech. It was beyond him why Headmaster Cross would allow such a horrendous event to take place between these humans and those beasts. It's practically unheard of in their present-day society. Sooner or later some girl is going to end up dead with a blood drained body and then Headmaster Cross is going to regret this event ever taking place; hopefully, also admitting those vampires into this academy. Zero let out a sigh and turned his attention back to the window.

As he watched the swaying of the trees and the colorful leaves flying past the window, something caught his eye. Walking past the building was what Zero presumed to be Day-Class girl. He would've immediately assumed it was just another crazed fan-girl who wanted to sneak over to the Moon Dorms in order to see her favorite vampire before the rest of the Day Class girls came scrambling from their classes if not for the two suitcases and duffle bag she had been effortlessly carrying. As she browsed the school campus map, she looked up in the direction of where she thought the main building would be, but was instead greeted by Zero's gaze on her through the window. Archita stared at him with an odd curiosity. Her eyebrows furrowed at him, making Zero wonder what she could've been thinking about. But soon after, she turned away and started walking towards what she thought was the direction to Headmaster Cross's office.

"That was weird," Zero insinuated. "She must be a transfer student." As he watched her walk further away from the window, Archita turned around to see Zero still observing her. The flustered prefect abruptly turned his head away and looked down at the empty pages of his History notebook.

"He's a peculiar one isn't he?" The corners of Archita's mouth slightly tugged into a smile, but it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. She turned around to look back at the map. She studied it carefully and a triumphant smile made its way onto her face as she darted towards the direction of the main building, her belongings in tow.

Zero watched Archita as she darted off into the direction of what he also assumed was the Headmaster's office. The tiniest grin made its way to his face, though it was promptly wiped off as he heard the bell ring, finally signaling the end of class. He quickly packed his books in his bag and eagerly left the classroom without sparing a glance towards Yuuki, for she was still babbling on about her Valentine's Day present for Kaname.
