Chapter #1- Love For A Vampire

I stared towards the front of the class, not even trying to understand the lesson the teacher was attempting to drill into our heads. I knew that if I did try to understand what the man with the balding head was saying I was the one who was going to pull my hair out. My mind drifted and as it always did, rested on Kaname. I'd seen him this morning before coming to class. I had woken up after only a few hours of sleep because of my disciplinary commitee duties and realized I had forgotten to report to the chairman about the two girls Zero and I had found trying to sneak in through to the night class dormitories. When I reached his office, I opened the door to find Kaname standing opposite the chairman. My heart stopped beating and my breathing hitched, the normal symptoms my body took when Kaname was around, I had discovered. To hide my obvious surprise and discomfort I smiled at him.

'Good morning Kaname.'

Then he smiled at me and I couldn t help but stare. This was the smile that had my heart beat race faster than I knew it could, that had me thinking time had stopped, that had me thinking about him late at night.

'Good morning Yuki.'

It's refreshing to see you so early. I blushed, my cheeks turning red and my face heating up. It was no wonder I loved him. He made me feel special, giving me extra attention and treating me with delicacy, unlike a certain partner I know. His eyes sparked and his smile widened slightly at my blush. I turn to the chairman and greet him, telling him about the incident last night. They both listen intently as if I m letting on a secret when I m just telling them another story about the raging hormones of teenage girls. When I m done the chairman nods at me.

'Thank you Yuki, I'll take care of those trouble makers. You get to class now.'

I nodded to him and bowed to Kaname, exiting the room before I do something stupid, but as fate would have it, I couldn t go 5 minutes without embarrassing myself and just as I was leaving I banged my head against the door. Laugh if you want, I would. Kaname took a concerned step towards me while the chairman literally jumped from his seat asking if I was okay. I just smiled, feeling my face redden and told them I was okay. I ran out of there as fast as my legs would carry me. I let out a long sigh as my mind comes back to the now. The teacher hadn't stopped talking and I could see a vein pop in his forehead as he tries to explain his lesson to a student at the front of the class. I look out the window, my eyes drooping slightly. I hadn't gotten a lot of sleep last night, or the night before that and before that because of my disciplinary duties. I rest my chin against my palms, my elbows on the table. Yori was taking notes beside me and so were the other students. I catch a red bird take flight against the blue sky. I wanted to see Kaname, just a glimpse would be enough. I mentally slapped myself. You may want to see Kaname but he doesn't want to see you. I'm just a child to him, his is another world from mine. I'm like a lost puppy to him. It won't be long before he tires of me. My heart clenched and I let out another sigh. Love was hard.

'You breath like that one more time, everyone's gonna think your going into labour.'

I turned around to glare at my childhood friend, Zero Kiryuu. He sat behind me with his cheek resting against the palm of his hand. His eyes didn't raise to meet mine. I huffed at him. I knew he wouldn't be taking notes, he never took notes. Too smart for that, unlike me, who was just too lazy. I made sure the teacher wasn't looking when I spoke to him.

'You know very well that was a sigh Zero.'

He raises his eyes to meet mine finally.

'And what were you sighing about?'

Images of Kaname come to mind and I find myself blushing. Zero catches my heated face before I turn around and start writing gibberish into my notebook.

'None of your concern,' I whisper to him, inclining my face only slightly so he can't see it. '

I think you should focus your attention on the lesson rather than your Kaname Kuran.'

I turn my head to him so fast I got whiplash. 'How did-'

I realize too late that my voice was so loud that the whole class was suddenly silenced. I turn to the teacher, hoping he had ignored or didn't hear. But he did and the vein in his head grew even bigger.

'Cross, do you have something to share with the class?'

I shook my head, tongue-tied. Zero was so going to pay for this. I buried my face in my book, burning with embarrassment. I heard Zero chuckle lowly but stopped when the teacher gave him a glare.

'Well since you all have time for fun, I assume you understand the lesson perfectly. There will be a test on this tomorrow and whoever fails will have to do all the questions 10 times in detention.'

I could just imagine the teacher dropping to the floor because of a heart-attack. Just as he finished his speech, the bell rang, dissolving the students protests and groans. I grab my bag and turn to glare at Zero, but found him already moving to the door. I let out a frustrated groan. He was still gonna get it.

I arrive outside the night class gate just in time. The girls were practically twitching with anticipation, waiting for the beautiful boys of the night class to come out. I blow my whistle and force some space between the two classes while Zero stood in front of the crazier fan-girl bunch, his very presence ruining any hopes for interaction. The gates open and the girls move out of the way. They knew there was something extra-ordinary with the night-class, their instincts told them to run, but it was a vampires natural predatorial instinct to attract its prey, so the girls flocked around them. I spot Kaname in the crowd of white uniforms. My eyes linger on his for a second too long. Kaname suddenly raises his eyes to mine making my heart skip a beat. I look away quickly, blushinhg and my eyes meet Zero's. Had he been watching me? My face heats up even more and with a quivering voice I tell all the girls to return to their dorms.

When the night class enter the building and disappear from view the excitement dwindles and the girls start returning to their dorms. I let out a huff. I was tired, I can't remember the last time I had a good nights sleep. I rubbed my eyes to waken me up slightly when I felt someone behind me. I turn to find Zero, his eyes on me. I was sure he saw the blood-shot in the whites of my eyes and the bags under them. How in the world had I appeared in front of Kaname like this?

'I'll patrol outside, you go inside and check if everything's as it should be.'

I nod without arguing. It took a longer time to patrol outside and I started to wonder if he had purposefully given me this task because he was worried about me. I felt myself smile slightly as I remembered the worry in his eyes as he saw my sleep-deprived body. Zero rarely showed any emotions, but when he did I felt my body react in strange ways. Like when he smiles. Zero never smiles, but when he does I always felt my heartbeat quicken and I can't help but stare at him. This was a boy who had lost his entire family and bitten by a vampire in a span of a few hours and he had the most beautiful smile. I turned around, heading to the building. I suddenly stopped walking, my memory hitting me. We had a test tomorrow and I knew nada about it.

'Zero!' I say loudly, turning. He was already walking to the right of the building. When he heard me call he turned slightly. I joined my hands together and bow my head slightly in his direction.

'Can you please tutor me so I pass the test tomorrow.' He looks at me, hesitating. I knew he would say no, he didn t need to study, he probably already memorized the lesson.

'Please,' I beg, looking at him, my eyes wide, my lips jutting out in a pout in what I hoped was a puppy dog look. Zero stared and then sighed.

'Fine.' I smiled at him, his eyes never leaving mine.

'Thank you Zero.' I turn, running towards the building. 'I'll meet you in the chairman quarters in 2 hours.'
