"Be careful, Zick. And take good care of Elena."

"Yeah, mom. See you later." Both of them waved goodbye and started to walk to the school hall.

Party music could be heard from the halls, they were currently playing the old hit by Avril Lavigne-Girlfriend.

"You nervous?" Zick tried asking in a casual tone.

"Um…yeah! Why wouldn't I be?" Wait, did that came out right?

Elena felt a warm hand around hers, she looked down and saw Zick hands on hers giving her an encouraging squeeze. But he quickly let go, and turn his face to the other direction, trying to ignore the blush on his own face. "Don't worry bout' it. Everything will be fine."

"Hm…" She didn't really know how to answer to that. If it was the last time he hold her hands, she be okay with it, not that it isn't now, but it seems that it holds a different meaning now for both of them. And she's not sure if she likes this new meaning or not.

Zick quickly push the doors to the hall open, making an entrance for Elena. What he didn't notice was how everyone was unconsciously staring at the both of them.

What are they doing here?

Whoa, is that the Weirdo's chick she looks…nice!

Look at that Zick kid, he's all dress up. And he actually looks kinda cute.

People started whispering about the famous odd couple. Some teasing, some amazed, some shocked that they even came. Zick was wearing a Blackish blue tux, with a V- opening on the front and a red bow, but the shoes wasn't anything formal, it was just simple black sneakers, that makes it all the more cooler. Elena on the other hand, wore an elegant black butterfly sleeve wraparound dress that had white ruffles at the hem of the dress, while wearing white mary-jane shoes. Her reddish-orange hair seems to shine under the lightings.

"Well, they do look nice today, I will give you that." A blonde girl in a pink dress whispered loudly to her friend.

Zick and Elena quickly make their way to the snack table, not wanting to attract any more attention. Everyone else went back to chit-chatting and dancing, quickly forgetting the pair.

"Want some punch?"

"Sure, I'm thirsty."

Zick handed her the paper cup with the purple juice. He quickly gulped the drink down, trying to calm himself, not really caring what it was that he drank. He was nervous, but he didn't want that to show, especially not to Elena. That would be too uncool.

"Well, lookey here, Mattie. It seems that the weirdo couple decided to come dancing." Pattie said out loud while passing Elena, stopping in front of them, with Mattie beside her.

"What does it have to do with you?" Elena replied with a hand on her hips.

"Oh nothing, we just thought we come and greet you, that's all." Mattie fake smiled.

"Well, who did you two came with?" Zick asked reluctantly.

"Each other of course. Why should we go with any other boys in this school? They are all ugly, weird and dumb. No offense. Hah!" Pattie replied in a mocking tone, her eyes on Zick, hinting something.

"Why you little-"Elena started to get angry. No one talks about Zick like that, she's gonna pay.

"But before she could fire her insult at Mattie and Pattie. A rumbling noise was heard and the lights when off.

"Zick!" Elena panicked.

"I'm right here, don't worry!" She felt a warm hand on her arms, and Zick's soothing voice.

"Everyone stay calm, its probly just an electricity short out. We will ask someone to fix it immediately, so everyone please stay in this hall and don't move anywhere. "Miss Swift voice rang from a far, trying to calm her students down.

"Hmm….I don't think it's a normal short out. I can….feel something." Zick whispered.

"You think there are some monsters here?" Elena's voice suddenly changing into a higher pitch, panic in her voice.

"Don't worry I won't let anyone or anything hurt you, ever." He promised her, looking directly at her, even though it was pitch black, he could still see Elena's pair of brown eyes, looking at him too.

She blushes, thankful that the lights were out, or else Zick might have seen. "It's not that I'm scared for myself but for the others. They don't know the existence of monster, how would they react, if they knew?"

Feeling a bit stupid for his misunderstanding, he quickly tries to think of a solution. But he suddenly felt a feeling, a warning, like a pang to his face.

It wasn't monsters, it was black phantoms. And lots of them.

"Zick, Zick…..! Are you alright?" Elena's scared voice quickly brought his out of the trance.

"I think we have problems, Elena. They aren't monsters, they are-"

A flash of red beam light the hall. "Sorry to interrupt your little party, young tamer. Play times over. But don't worry, the party is just beginning."
