I'm so sorry for the extremely late update. I've just been so busy with apps. I actually wrote the next two parts to see how it goes then I got an idea of what'll eventually happen and I think it's pretty good, so I'll probably continue. And I apologize for the beginning being kind of slow.
I don't own VK
I didn't get it. There was just something about Kai that was…weird. The feeling made me want to stay away from him, and yet, it attracted me just as much.
During the class exchange, I was going to greet him, but as soon as he saw me walk over, he pretended that he was busy and ran off. Is he avoiding me? I waited for last period, but was disappointed to find that he never showed up. Yup…he's definitely avoiding me. Unbelievable!
I walked out of class and into the hallway. Did I say something wrong yesterday to make him want to get away from me? Damn! Why do I always act so stupid around boys that I'm interested in?! I became so absorbed in my thoughts that I didn't even notice the person in front of me and bumped into her. I dropped my books and saw that I had run into the girl prefect. It was the first time I looked at her face to face. The girl had a flawless visage, dark brown eyes, almost black, and brownish-red hair that rested along her back. She had long slender legs and a well-fit body. I bent down and started picking up the books on the floor.
"Sorry about that. I was thinking about something and I didn't see you…"
She replied lightheartedly, "It's fine, really."
She bent down and helped pick up my homework. We stood up and she handed me my stuff.
"I'm Naomi."
She reached out a hand to take mine. We shook and I introduced myself.
"I'm Mina."
She smiled at me. She looks a lot more outgoing that Kai.
"Are you going to dinner?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm starving," I replied, placing my hand over my stomach as it growled.
"Would you like to sit together?"
I was completely taken aback by her invitation. I just met her.
"Um…sure."
We walked together to get our food and then sat down at a nearby table, just the two of us. What should I say?
"So how's Cross Academy so far?" I asked. Just great! The lamest question to ask a new student.
"Um…it's alright," she replied, looking at me drop a blood tablet into the glass. "So those are blood tablets, huh?"
"Yeah…didn't you get a pack when you came?" I asked.
Every vampire was suppose to have a pack. It was required by the school.
She looked at me blankly and then suddenly replied, "Oh yeah…I did. I already took mine in the morning." She started to eat her food. She looked at the other prefects across the room. I peered over my shoulder and saw them staring at us. She noticed me shift uncomfortably.
"Don't worry about them," she told me.
"I don't think they like the idea of me sitting with you," I said turning around.
"They're always like that." She continued eating her food. "They're just overprotective."
"Oh…"
After a few minutes, I looked back and saw that they were no longer staring.
"What are their names?" I asked her, not taking my eyes off of Kai.
"Well, the one on the far left is Akio. He's a 'know-it-all', seriously. And the one next to him is Katashi, my brother."
"Your brother?"
"Yeah. He likes to play around a lot. The guy sitting at the far right is Yasuo. He's my boyfriend. He's the peacemaker of the group. And the one in the middle is─"
"Kai…" I said.
I couldn't stop staring at him. Akio and Yasuo were talking eagerly as Katashi listened and laughed. But Kai, he wasn't laughing with them. He just sat there in the middle, with his cheek resting in his hand and playing with his food. I didn't think he was even listening.
"Yeah…how did you know?"
"Oh, well…he's in one of my classes."
"Oh…" she looked at me and then sort of smiled to herself. I didn't understand why.
"Kai's like the big brother of the group. He's the oldest and knows how to take care of everyone."
"I bet he does…" I said under my breath.
"So what about your friends?" she asked.
I bent my head to the side and saw them sitting at a table behind her. She turned around and looked at them as well.
"Well, I know all the Night Class students. But I've known Kira and Riku since we were kids. We hung out together and went to the same schools."
"Mmm…"
"They like to have fun. Kira isn't really that bad though. It's mostly Riku that drags her along."
"Are they a 'thing'?" she suddenly asked.
I smirked and answered, "Oh god, no. No way. They love each other, but not in that way. We see one another as family. You know?"
"Yeah, I know what you mean."
She gave me a warm smile and took another bite of her meal.
As we talked, Kira walked over.
"Hey there Mina," she said, sitting between me and Naomi.
"Hi, I'm Kira," she said to Naomi.
"Naomi." She smiled at Kira and nodded.
"So you're one of our new 'nannies', huh?"
"What?" Naomi was not catching on to her joke.
Kira laughed to herself.
"I'm just kidding. That's just what Riku calls you guys. Don't worry about it…so you two getting to know each other?"
"Yes we are…and everyone else as well," she replied.
"Well, I hope you like it here. It's nice being able to go to a school with humans too, right?"
Naomi just smiled.
Kira then turned to me and asked, "So? How did it go?"
I just kept looking at my plate and shrugged my shoulders in response.
"Nothing really…I didn't even get a chance to talk to him today. He didn't come to class."
"What?!...So he wants to play it like that, huh?" Kira said to herself, putting a finger to her chin.
I could tell that she was thinking of another plan.
"What are you guys talking about?" asked Naomi with curiosity.
"Ah, it's nothing really," answered Kira. "That guy over there avoided Mina the entire day." She was pointing at Kai.
"Come on Kira. He's a prefect. He was probably just patrolling the campus or something," I said.
"Yeah, whatever."
"What Mina? Are you interested in him?" asked Naomi with a playful grin.
I could've sworn that my face was starting to turn pink.
"What?...No….it's not like that…" I quickly said in reply. "It's just that the chairman wants me to be the 'welcome wagon' for you guys. So I just tried to talk to him during class and he kind of just shrunk away. Then today, he just didn't show up." I looked at the two of them. They both had a '…' expression going on.
"Oh god! Am I that scary to talk to?" I finally asked, hiding my face in my hands.
"No, you're perfectly fine. I think it's just Kai. He's a bit shy," Naomi quickly assured.
"Yeah, you know how it is. The cuter they are, the shyer they are." Kira gave me a wink.
"Yeah…" I said to myself.
[3rd person POV]
The chairman assigned the five new prefects to live in the exchange students' dorm. The building was a two-story, bricked house. It had a garden in the front and a yard in the back. The inside looked larger than expected from the outside and it greatly resembled the aristocratic appearance of the Night Dorms. Damn, they were lucky!
Naomi reached the steps of the house. She knew that once she stepped inside, oppositions towards her actions today would start shooting at her. She opened the door and walked in. Surprisingly, there was nobody in the living room to greet her. "Phew!" she thought to herself.
She reached the stairs and was about to ascend when suddenly a voice from behind said, "Well you're finally home."
She recognized that voice ever since childhood, it was Kai. Naomi turned around and sure enough, he was standing there, leaning against the wall. He had his 'poker' face on.
"Yeah," she replied casually.
He started walking up the stairs towards her.
"I saw you sitting with her during dinner."
"Yeah, I know. You and the rest of the pack were drilling holes in her back with your stares," she said. "She's a nice girl. I don't understand why you're getting so worked up over her. She won't bite." Naomi had her arms crossed. Out of the pack, she was the only one that had absolutely no problem with questioning Kai.
"She's not one of us," he responded with a stern look.
"So?" she challenged. "Our elders always taught us to live peacefully with all species…why is she any different?"
"It's not that…" He ran his hand through his hair.
"I don't get it. Why are you so hesitant?"
He didn't say anything but looked to the side. She took a breath.
"I know that the history that our two kinds shared wasn't the best. But that's the past. Everybody changes."
She placed her hand on his cheek, making him look at her.
"I don't regret meeting Mina. She's sweet, just like you. I want to have friends other than our kind. You should too. I mean, isn't that why all of us agreed to come in the first place?"
She turned around and began walking up the stairs. Almost at the top, she paused and turned around.
"She knows that you're avoiding her."
Kai flinched from her comment, but he didn't say anything.
"Just get to know her. You may find out that you like her…She likes you." Naomi gave him a smile, then turned around and walked upstairs to her room.
He walked over to the couches and sat down. "She likes me? What? I thought she hated me," he thought to himself. "Girls are too complicated…"
I got the next part mostly done. Just need to make a few changes. Should be able to update soon....hopefully.
