"Zero!"
The brown haired girl ran as fast as she could. She had to catch up with the silver haired boy.
He looked troubled. She could tell by the way he was walking.
His shoulders were raised and he walked faster than usually, his pace was uneven and he seemed determined to get to the dorms as fast as possible. Like he wanted to get away from something, or someone. Like he was fleeing.
"Zero!"
She once again tried to get his attention by calling his name, but it was in vain. The boy did not feel like speaking, and when this boy didn't feel like speaking he would not speak.
The short girl with the chocolate brown eyes had nearly caught up with the tall boy.
"Zero! I know you can hear me!" she yelled as she grabbed his sleeve.
Zero quickly turned around and pulled his arm out of her grip.
"What do you want?" he snarled.
Yuki took a step back and anxiously looked at the surroundings. "I-I.. Y-you seem troubled.." She scratched the back of her head with her right hand and smiled. "S-Sorry."
The boy shook his head. "I'm okay."
He turned away from her and leaned against the baluster railing of the stone bridge they were standing on. Yuki could tell something was off. He wasn't "okay", something really was troubling him. She lowered her hand and frowned. "Are you su-"
She didn't finish her sentence cause of a discovery she had just made. On the silver haired vampire's white shirt underneath the black jacket, there was blood. Not much, only some stains.
"T-There's blood on y-your.." She pointed at her own collar of her shirt to show him where the blood was. The girl was very uncertain whether it was his own blood or someone else's. If it wasn't his, whose could it possibly be?
He looked down at the blood stains. He muttered something and wrinkled his nose in disgust, licked his thumb and tried to rub it off but ended up smearing it out. This gesture made her certain that it was not his own blood.
"Zero, what happened?"
Yuki took a step towards him so that she ended up standing beside him. She too leaned against the baluster railing, but leaned forwards to try to see the expression on his face.
He looked away and stopped trying to clean the blood of his shirt as he mumbled "nothing."
She sighed. "It's not nothing." He turned his head towards hers and glared at her.
"Why do you always have to pry into everything?"
The boy with the lilac eyes straightened his back and started walking away from her again.
"Did you get into a fight with the Night class again?"
Zero stopped for a second, sighed and looked at her over his shoulder. "I guess you could say that."
He once again turned away from her and soon he disappeared into the forest on the other side of the bridge, leaving Yuki alone in the cold October night.
The following day the small prefect met up with the silver haired boy outside the boy's dorms. She had been waiting there for about an hour or so, not knowing when he'd get out of bed.
Yuki wanted to ask him about last night. She was curious about the blood on his collar and his bad temper. Not like he didn't have a bad temper normally, but last night he had been as cold as a stone.
"Good morning Zero!" She foolishly smiled at him and tugged his sleeve.
"Good morning" he muttered and started walking towards the school building with the little prefect still holding gently holding his sleeve.
