Dark-Pink Fuchsia, Deep Purple Hyacinth
"That would be two miles, Officer Lloyd. The troops would have to go around," I answered without hesitation. Officer Lloyd looked frustrated, and my best friend, Kestrel Olympia gave me a small smile and a thumbs-up sign. I was in the military strategy class at Barsburg Military Academy, and that damn Lloyd kept picking on me because of my bored expression. After my perfect answer, a ripple of laughter spread across the room, making Officer Lloyd flush a shade of hot pink. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Shuuri Oak, the Admiral's son, give me a glare. I always knew he was jealous of me. Me and my perfect grades, beauty, popularity, and power. I had long, wine colored hair that I always put in a messy yet beautiful bun at the base of my neck. I was so pale, and that contrasted sharply with my dark hair. You see, me and Kestrel were vampires. Kestrel had neon red-orange hair that was so curly it looked like a spreading flame. She always left her hair down so that it frizzed all over the place. She was pale too.
"Fuchsia Hyacinth is such a nerd," Shuuri Oak taunted, obviously trying to put a dent in my perfection.
"You're not smart enough to be a nerd," I retorted calmly. Shuuri blushed scarlet.
"Everybody remember, tomorrow the high ranking officers will be coming to watch the graduation exam. Remember to show them the fruits of your labor," Officer Lloyd said, breaking up the argument.
"You're hard hard hard labor," Kestrel mocked, cracking herself up.
"By the way, Teito Klein. You didn't come to my combat lessons. Not even once. That makes me sad," Officer Lloyd said, feinting sadness.
"Oh. I was dismissed from all practical lessons," Teito answered. Officer Lloyd blushed again.
"Better stop turning red. You might not be able turn back to peach," Kestrel joked. Lloyd just glared at her.
"Chairman Miroku's dog gets special treatment, doesn't he?" Shuuri said. Teito didn't reply, but his best and only friend, Mikage, used his zaiphon to lead porn magazines into Shuuri's outspread hands.
"Sensei, Shuuri-kun is reading porn," Mikage tattled. Shuuri, nearly screaming, jumped from his chair.
"It's nothing like that," he said, panicked. Lloyd just looked at him sternly. The bell rang a few seconds later, and class was over. I picked up my books and walked over to where Kestrel was waiting.
"Fuchsia, you have just got to tell me how you're so smart," Kestrel pleaded, nudging my arm lightly.
"We have to go find Gabriel first," I answered. Kestrel's eyes widened.
"He's sick today, remember. He said his head hurt like crazy," the idiot said, confused.
"Kes, you idiot! How long is it going to take you to realize that Gabriel doesn't like class?"
"He. Ditched. Class. On. Purpose." Kestrel gritted her teeth. "Gabriel Dahlley!" She screamed, sprinting into our dorms. Sure enough, after I got there, Gabriel was listening to his ipod, strutting around the room. Okay, I admit. Gabriel is a total joker, always getting me and Kestrel into trouble along with him. Other people think he's the hottest person in the world. I personally think he got dropped on his head when he was a baby. Gabriel is also a vampire. He has blue-black hair that is wavy. He's tall and has these reddish blackish eyes that seem to mock and tease even though he's not saying anything. Kestrel stomped over to him and grabbed him by the hair. "Gabri-"
"Let's get ready for tomorrow's exam," I said, cutting Kestrel off and preventing an argument.
"What did I miss?" Gabriel asked, flashing his brilliant, white teeth.
"Oh. Shuuri Oak reading porn," I answered. Gabriel chuckled.
"Let's go," Kestrel cut in. I smiled to myself. I knew that Kestrel had hots for Gabriel.
