In this world, I feel so lonely. It's not easy being the way I am when everything is so modern, so fresh and too fast moving. Hardly anyone enjoys anything anymore. Instead they rush through it. Sometimes, I purposely crash into people walking too fast to slow down, just so I can feel some life in this city. I don't mind the insults.
I do mind that I was reduced to doing this. This run-in, however, was by accident. So fate doesn't entirely hate me. He was beautiful, silver hair, soft tinted skin, and beautiful aquamarine eyes. He wore baggy pants and a muscle shirt, the typical modern fashion of today.
"Watch where you're going." He said, but not with the same angry coldness I usually received, no it was more of a forgiving statement. "I'll be sure to do so later" I said wondering if that sounded modern enough.
He chuckled. "Trying to be proper?" He sounded amused. I wasn't trying to be 'proper' I was proper. Unlike children of today, I was taught to be that way. "Less and less" I replied helping him up. I could see confusion cross his face when his hand touched mine. I don't blame him.
Anyone warm as him would feel shocked to touch a skin covered block of ice. Our eyes met for a few minutes as we stood still. I didn't know what to do. His hand didn't leave mine. I wondered what he was trying to hold on to me for. Certainly if he were scared wouldn't he let go and escape?
I may be old to a human, but considering I never was one and was only born a few hundred years ago, I was still just a child to my kind. He simply kissed my hand and briefly left afterworlds. I felt nervous. That was a weird reaction.
I pondered it all day. Frantically so to say. I paced the city as though it were my living room. I didn't know what to do and I was lonely. Always so lonely...I wondered if perhaps I'd ever run into him again. Though after a long thought I realized, in this mad world, each face is ever changing.
My chances of seeing him again were slim. I slid into a cafe and sat at a table. I ordered food, but wasn't too interested in what it was. When no one was watching I pulled out a box similar to a cigar box and shook three blood pills out of it. "Aren't you too young to smoke?" a voice came from above me.
I looked at the other side of the booth and same the silver haired boy leaning against it. Our eyes met again. "Perhaps" I said not knowing what else I could possibly say. He grinned. "You don't look like the bad boy type, what school do you go to?" He asked. I froze. Was one at my age supposed to be attending school?
"School?" I questioned. "Yeah, School. You're around fifteen right?" He replied. That's right. "Of course, I'll be attending school tomorrow as my first day, I just moved here" I responded, saving myself. "Cool? What school?" He asked suddenly interested. "
How about you tell me a little about yourself first" I said mischievously resting my chin on my knuckles, using my seduction charm on him. "I'm Riku Sawada, I'm 17, I go to Kazuma high.." He started. I interrupted him. "Kazuma high? That's where I'm enrolling, what luck." I said smoothly.
"Well then I guess I'll see you then," he said starting to return to work, "what's your name again?" I paused and smiled. "Sora Shiramizu." I replied returning the smile carefully. "Sora" He said before disappearing behind the kitchen's double doors.

Apparently, I had no idea what I was getting myself into until after I realized Kazuma high was a public school in a bad area of town. I didn't want to be too suspicious, though with my perfect score on the entrance exam, I think I was already too suspicious.
I couldn't have been happier to join school during winter season. Another thing I failed to realize, was that school is held during the day. If I was just a vampire converted from human, the sun would just make me weak, but being a descendent of a long line of full blood vampires, the sun basically melted my flesh to ash.
I was cautious to stay out of the sun and safely in shadows. I valued myself more than my reputation. "Hey Sora" That boy Riku greeted me. "Good morning" I replied, not all too familiar with that term. "What're doing in the shade all by yourself?" well lets see, I'm a high-bred vampire, why else would I be in the shade? "I'm allergic to U. V. rays" I said bluntly.
"What? What are you? Some kind of vampire?" He joked. "Yeah right I wish" I hadn't spent my night waiting to be caught today, I spent my night thinking of good, modern answers for every situation. "You like the whole vampire visual kei thing?" He asked eyeing me strangely. I didn't quite understand what he meant so I just replied with whatever came to mind.
"Yes." Which wasn't all intelligible. "That's what I figured considering the way you were dressed. Hell, I'm surprised you talked to me" He said honestly. "Well, looks can be deceiving on occasions" I replied as my usual self. "You act the part and everything. That's crazy." He said looking distant suddenly.
"Hey, even if you meet new friends, can you still hang out with me?" He asked shoving his hands in his pockets. I was confused by his question nut nodded. "That wont be difficult." He looked at me. I just stood there. Then, like a type of siren, the school's bell rang.

As the day progressed, I wondered if it was a good idea to try this high school thing at all. I didn't see Riku since this morning and I couldn't find the point of being here. The teacher's lectures were boring and repetitive. As though she were trying to drill it into them forever, making a permanent scar about her wretched teachings.
I asked a red haired girl next to me why she taught that way and she just responded 'to get it through their thick skulls'. In my opinion, people in this class weren't thick skulled, they were just skull.
There wasn't a sign of intelligence in the room. I wondered if she wrote the text book I received from her, for it held the same dreadful droning that forever spilled from her mouth. "Mr. Shiramizu, pay attention." She hissed like some type of venomous snake. I rose a brow, well this could be amusing.
"I apologize Ueda-san, it's just, your teaching style lacks quality and quantity, I was busy wondering why they would let such a low rank teacher be anything more than a substitute in the classroom." I said in all seriousness. I was just playing around, but her expression was worth it.
Today I found out you aren't supposed to pick fights with teachers, you'll end up in a less appealing place than before. So here I sat in the principles office. It lacked life, noise and color. It was like an asylum gently disguised as an office.
I was punished in a light sense, compared to the way my teachers used to punish me. I wasn't slapped or whipped, I just received a half sheet of ugly paper. "Have your parents sign it." They scolded. I stayed silent. That was something I was incapable of doing, since the majority of my race, my parents included, where staked to their death a few months ago.
I just bowed and left the building. I walked through the school looking for the classroom Riku was in. I finally found it and walked in. "Can I help you?" the teacher questioned looking up from her lesson. "I need to speak to Sawada." I said bluntly holding the referral up so she could see the back of it. She froze. "You're an office assistant?..very well, but make it quick." She responded shooing him out. "What's this all about?"
"I need you to sign it." I replied. "I can't, I'm not your parent." He said confused. I shoved it in his hands. "Then have your parents sign it." I said. Then I realized this might not be a normal event in a human's life. "My.." I became instantly depressed. "My dad will beat me if he finds out.." I said burying my face in my hands.
"Alright, but next time you're on your own." He said and shoved it in his pocket. "I wouldn't even help you if you didn't look so helpless." He said playfully ruffling my hair. His hand stayed there for a moment as though he noticed something. His eyes were soft but he shook the expression off quickly. "Go back to class. I wandered back to my class. Still debating if this was worth anything at all.
