I just can't resist creating a new one.

Like beauty N the Beast... Except... Shiki is no beast...

Rima

I arrived at Cross Academy just before dusk. I wasn't expecting any welcoming party or anything like that but as soon as the car turned into the drive, there was a huge crowd of girls, just outside the dorm, as if waiting for my arrival.

-

The car seat never felt this comfortable.

Cross Academy, the prestigious high with a deep, dark secret…

-

-

As soon as I got out, all eyes were on me. I tried to avoid their inquisitive stares and make my way to the gates as fast as I could. The noise got even louder when the gates creaked open.

-

Squeals, screams, excited faces… In the mists of crazed fans of who knows what, I couldn't see who came out- blame it on my shortness!

-

" Rima!" A guy with bright blonde hair popped out. The girls gasped at once. Looking at this… guy, his skip/run and excited expression; made me think of a rabbit going gaga over a bunch of carrots.

-

" Lessons are starting soon," he panted.

-

" Need to show you to your room." The "fans" started whispering and pointing- mostly at me. I caught conversations like: A new night class girl? Why wasn't I put into night class? She's soooo pretty!

-

-

The awkward situation finally ended only when the gates were shut behind us: Whew!

-

He led me to a deserted corridor and pointed to a door at the very end, " That's your room. Shiki will pick you up in awhile."

-

Mew! I turned and saw a pair of silver eyes staring back at me. A cat.

-

-

Are we allowed to keep pets? If not, then someone's breaking the rules. I followed it, until it slipped into a room with the door ajar. My hand reached for the doorknob…

-

Am I being rude? Better not make any enemies now. I head back to my room to change.

-

I was tying my hair when someone knocked on my door.

-

" Come in." I said nonchalantly.

-

The door opened, someone came in and leant on the wall by my dresser; arms crossed.

-

I looked up to see a guy, probably the same age as me. His auburn hair unkempt- though it suits his sharp features.

His skin as pale as mine, lips as red a blood and eyes… Silver eyes… They blinked. I looked away as I felt my blood rushing to my cheeks. Fumbling with my textbooks, I avoided his gaze and reached for the door.

Shiki

" Come in" A mellifluous voice called out as I knocked on the door. I went in. A girl with a rather small stature sat at the dresser.

-

Her straight, blonde hair was tied up in two black ribbons. The white uniform accentuated her slim body. Then, she looked up at me with curious eyes.

-

Her eyes were beautiful.

-

She caught herself staring as a delicious crimson colour suffused her cheeks. I dropped my gaze and turned my head to hide my smile. I never thought that a fellow vampire would stare at me the way a human would.
