I went through my sister's wardrobe, tip-toeing trying not to wake her. I was trying to find that super-thick black mascara she stole from me a couple of years back. I found my mascara, my eyeliner, my foundation, and super jet black lipstick. Trust me. You do not want to know why I have a lot of black.

I put on my pale foundation, heavy mascara and eyeliner. I put on a black and pink striped t-shirt, and a black pleated skirt. I pulled thigh long gray and black socks. Then I put on black boots. I'm ready! Oh wait! My hair! But I was running a bit late and my bus was going to come in ten minutes! Okay, calm down Miyu, calm down... I'll just have to improvise!

I straightened my hair and quickly layered the back and my side fringe. I would do the rest at school.

When I came into class, everyone stared at me. Is this what it's like to be popular? I sat down, not saying a word, and put my dark fringe right across my face.

How could this get any worse? Just then, Nobu came over. Oh. That's how.

"Hey there, sweet cheeks!" I did nothing, except give him a eerie glare with my piercing red contacts. Nobu looked like he wanted to run and duck for cover. But, unfortunately, he stayed right where he was.

"Honey bear, what's the matter?" I said nothing. Nobu laughed and snorted. …Total geek.

"Never mind, baby cakes," He said. "I love the silent types. In fact, I remember—" I cut him off by standing up from my seat and saying, "Look, Nobu. I don't know what you want from me! Honestly, why don't you just leave me alone!" I shouted. Then, I realised. He made me talk when I didn't want to for the whole day, because of my teeth. I shut my mouth instantly. Unexpectedly, Nobu dragged me out of the room and slammed me against the wall. I looked shocked.

This new aggression from Nobu was sort of…cool.

"What the hell, noob? What's your problem?" I said, trying not to laugh because his face looked so funny.

"This is not funny," he said darkly. "I want to know what that thing is in your mouth." I laughed, deliberately showing my teeth. He gasped. I walked towards him slowly.

"You DO know what this means, don't you Nobu?" I said, suddenly changing my expression from being happy, to serious. He shook his head. I continued walking until I was right in front of him. I could literally feel his heart beating rapidly. As much as I didn't want to, I wound my arms around his waist and put my mouth to his ear. He was breathing rapidly too, but I could tell he was trying not to show it. I whispered into his ear, "You can't tell anybody about this Nobu. Otherwise, I will KILL you. Literally." As I was about to pull away, Nobu grabbed my waist, pulled me in and kissed me.

Oh my GOD! My first ever kiss from someone outside my family! I relaxed and went closer…

What the fuck? What am I doing? THIS IS NOBU I'M KISSING! I pulled away and spat on the floor. Nobu was walking towards me.

"Nobu… no please, stop," I said. He kept walking. "Nobu, seriously stop." I said getting really angry now. He still kept on walking. He thinks he's brave doesn't he?

"Nobu, this is your last warning." I said

He carried on walking. I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't control my actions. I charged forward, licked him on the side of his neck, and sunk my fangs into him, sucking his blood. He fell to the floor, not moving. I leaned towards him. "I'm sorry, Nobu," I whispered. "You made me do it." I walked back into the classroom, leaving him there.

Aiden came in next but he was all alone. I felt really dangerous and confident when I saw him. My mind was taking over my heart. I went up to him and plucked up the courage to say hi.

"Hey, Aiden. What's up?" I said feebly. He looked confused.

"Uh..hey? I'm cool, I guess. Umm..who are you?" He asked.

I laughed, "Aiden! It's me! Miyu? You know me!" Aiden smiled. "Oh it's you! You look different with all your…uhh…black." I looked disappointed. "You mean…" I said quietly. "you don't like it?"

"No no! I think it looks cute on you, really. It suits you."

I beamed a big smile at him and gave him a hug. I don't know why, but it felt real, you know? And the cool thing about it is, he hugged me back…

Last, but not least, Asaka came in. Her head was looking round for me. "Um, Asaka?" I called. "Over here?" I beckoned her over with my black fingernail. She skipped over to me, clapping like a mad person.

"OMG! I soooo totally L-O-V-E your look! All black!" She screamed.

Our teacher came in and we had to start our lesson. I don't know how she missed Nobu, and that confused me. I put my hand up.

"….and 1+1 equals? Anyone? Yes, Miyu?" Miss Hitashi said.

"Umm..Miss? It's not about that unbelievably easy question. I'm asking about Nobu. Didn't you see him outside?" Miss Hitashi shook her head. The whole class stared at me and started to whisper to eachother.

"Why does she care about Nobu anyway?"

"Why's she wearing black? Is she an Emo?"

"I think she is."

I kept quiet until break time. I walked out of the room and a hand reached out to me and pulled me into a room. I tried to scream, but the hand covered my mouth. It was Aiden.

"Aiden? W-what's going on? Where are we?" I asked, fiddling with my hands, as we were the only ones in the room.

"We're in the broom closet. I brought you in here to ask you something." He said suspiciously, while closing the door, quietly. He walked towards me. I backed away a bit.

"I thought about what you did this morning, Miyu." he said.

"What I did? Oh, you mean hug you? Yeah, what's wrong with that?" I said, feeling confident again.

"Nothing, nothing." There was an awkward silence. I knew one of us had to do SOMETHING, so I decided it had to be me with my new-found confidence. I walked towards him and gave him another hug. This time, I didn't let go.

Aiden hesitated. He took my arm and pulled me closer towards him. I felt…safe with him. Like, we could do anything we wanted.

"I like you, Miyu. Really, I do. I just don't really show it. But now's the chance to." he said softly, caressing my hair gently. It felt good and bad at the same time. It felt good because he said he liked me. But it felt bad because someone could burst in at any second. No, wait…that feels good. It feels good because the feeling of the danger of getting caught is exhilarating.

He pushed me slowly towards the wall and leaned on it with the palm of his hand. I was looking up at him with my dark eyes and piercing red pupils. He leaned in slowly and when his lips were THIS close to my lips, I suddenly realised. My teeth. I dodged out the way and he kissed the damp spot on the wall. I couldn't help but laugh. He looked at my mouth, HIS mouth wide open.

"Oh. You know about my teeth. Yeah…I'm a vampire."

He opened his mouth. I was wincing inside, wondering what he was going to say. "That's kinda cool. I love vampires."

I smiled. "Does that mean, you love me?"

He hesitated. But then he walked towards me and told me to open my mouth, wide. I did as I was told. He inspected my fangs.

"In a way," he said. "I think it's cute. And so are you."

"Thanks, Aiden." I smiled. We slowly leaned into each other, and we kissed. It felt so real, so amazing. Until he put his tongue into my mouth a bit.

"No, Aiden. Please don't." I said muffled.

"Please, Miyu. I love you." He said.

"I…love you too, Aiden."

We carried on kissing. My heart told me no, but I didn't care. I loved Aiden too much.

The bell rang, but I didn't care. Neither did Aiden. I wanted to stay with Aiden forever.

"Miyu. I need to tell you something. Promise me you won't get agitated and upset." Aiden said. I had a confused look on my face. "What…are you talking about, Aiden?"

"Just promise me."

"Ok, Aiden. I promise." I smiled.

"I kinda… sorta… YOU know…?" Aiden said.

"Uh, no, I don't kinda, sorta know." I giggled.

"Ok. I kinda want us to do…IT." Aiden held his breath waiting for an answer. I stared at him.

"What the fuck, Aiden! I don't want to do it! I'm way too young! I can't belive you would think about something like that! I …I trusted you. You…you pervert!" I screamed and ran out. Leaving him there.
