Dawn's POV

We got to class pretty late, I walked in the class behind Ash.

The teacher was about to shout at Ash until he saw me and assumed I was lost and he was helping me.

The teacher had me introduce myself to the class before seating me down at a table. Ash sat down beside me.

I couldn't help but think about earlier, when Ash had removed my scarf.. I mean, he looked worried. There's really no need to worry! It'll heal.

Ash on the other hand, looked as though he was lost in thought, thinking hard about something I'm sure.

I just looked to the front of the class and listened to the teacher, as he was writing something on the white board.

Ash's POV

I couldn't fucking believe it. One night and Gary already compels her! If Barry finds out, he'll probably try start some sort of a fight with Gary.

I sighed, still very annoyed by this. Gary has no respect for woman at all, it drives me crazy.

My thoughts were interrupted when a soft voice spoke. "Hey Ash, are you okay? You seem a little distracted." It was Dawn. I gave her a smile, "Yeah, I'm fine- Just a bit tired." I admitted. She didn't seemed to convinced but didn't push the issue either, "Okay." She trailed off, looking back at the whiteboard.

The remainder of the lesson went by rather slowly, as all I had on my mind was how to stop Gary from tormenting Dawn.

After class

I walked Dawn back to her locker. We chatted as we walked and I learnt that so far we have quite a bit in common. I stopped at her locker as she put the combination into the complex lock and put her books away. "You know; You're not my bodyguard or anything. Go to your locker, I'll meet you after." She giggled.

"Oh but you don't understand, I practically am your bodyguard.. Keeping you away from a certain dickhead." I thought, mentally groaning. Of course, I didn't actually say that. "Sure thing." I replied, trying to sound more happier before going off to my locker, which was nearby.

After about five minutes, we had both put our stuff away and I left with Dawn to the canteen, since she'd forgotten where it was. "Oh look, there's Serena, Iris and Touko. I'll see you later Ash~" She chimed before walking over to their table. When I saw the other girls she hung out with, I couldn't help but laugh, seeing none of them were normal humans.

I saw Barry and Cilan sitting at a table, waiting for me to come over. When I noticed Gary wasn't there, I grinned. "Perfect." I thought, turning around and walking out of the dining room.

Basically, this meant Gary wasn't there yet, which means I can confront him.

Being no one else was around, and there are no cameras, I sped off into the distance, getting down the hallway and looking for Gary.

If there's somethings you must know about Vampires, it's these things;

1- We have to literally drink human blood to live. Serena, Gary and I are the only three other Vampires in the school. Serena and I usually use compulsion when needing to drink blood from someone and make it a stranger, away from the school campus, or if we're really desperate, we'll just drink blood bags from the hospitals. Gary on the other hand, gives absolutely no shits and drinks blood from anyone, the point had been proven as he went to Dawn.

2- We have some similar characteristics, like dark red eyes and fangs, but that's about all you can use to tell what we are.

3- We literally have super speed! We can zoom by faster than Usain Bolt if we want to.

4- Us Vampires have one weakness, a certain plant called Vervain, which unfortunately for us, is now commonly growing in this city, due to the sitings of Vampires.

I turned the corner and stopped, seeing Gary at his locker. I zoomed over, shoving him into his locker. I know, how harsh.. but by now I'm sure tired of his shit.

"What the fuck?" Gary asked, turning around and grinning when he saw me. "Hello Ash." He simply said. I glared at him, it's as if he knew I was here. "Why'd you do it?" I simply asked as he cockily shrugged, "Why did I do what?" He asked.

"Why did you bite Dawn?" I asked, gritting my teeth. Gary laughed pathetically, "I was hungry.. What else?" He asked. "You just can't help yourself, can you?" I asked angrily.

Gary laughed, slamming his faded locker door shut before turning to me. "I can't help myself from what? Eating!?" Gary asked sarcastically as I shook my head. "No, it's the fact that you fed from Dawn! You're just going to kill her, like you did a couple years back to another new human girl." I retorted, frustrated.

"Wow Ashy boy, you sure are worrying about her already." Gary laughed, cockily. "Gary, just.. Leave her alone!" I huffed, feeling like I was talking to a five year old.

With that said, I left back to the dining hall, not even acknowledging Gary.

Dawn's POV

The break ended which meant we had two more classes until Lunch time. My next class was English, with Barry. As before, I was introduced to the class and sat down with Barry as we chatted for most of the lesson and got told to be quiet.. At least ten times.

My next class was Physical education with Touko, Satoshi and Gary. We had a theory class, so I sat with Touko in the class room. Occasionally, I'd look over at Ash and Gary, who were sitting next to eachother but not talking.

I shot Gary a slight glare, though he couldn't see me. Honestly, he was attractive but he was also a total dickhead.

I then look at Ash, my expression softening. Ash had been so sweet to me while I've started here.. And honestly, I find him very attractive.

I must have been smiling or something, because Touko nudged me. "Hm?" I snapped back to reality as she laughed.

"I see you've got your eye on someone." The brown haired girl grinned as I could feel my face heat up. "Of course not." I huffed. Touko was still grinning widely, "Yeah you do. You're grinning like crazy." She admitted.

I rolled my eyes and looked back at Ash. "So.." Touko nudged me again, "Who are you staring at?" She asked. "Well.. A boy... I don't know but... I think I may like them." I admitted shyly as Touko tried to hold in a squeal.

"Touko! Settle down!" I huffed, extremely embarrassed. "Who is it!? Who is it!? Who is it!?!?" She begged, with puppy eyes. I bit my lip, hesitating to tell her. The thing is, this may just be a little crush.. And Touko will make it bigger than what it is.

"Oh please Dawn! I'd tell you who I liked if I was single." She admitted. I sighed, giving up. "Alright, I was smiling at Ash." I confessed as she tried to hold in a squeal. "Ssh!" I insisted, as I didn't want anyone to turn around and look.

"That's okay Dawny, your secret is safe with me!" Touko winked as I was regretting my decision. The rest of class flew by very quickly.

Touko's POV

I wasn't going to admit it, but I was glad to find out Dawn wasn't eyeing Gary. Her little crush is cute, I've gotta try stay quiet with it too, damnit.

The rest of class flew pretty quickly, as I kept noticing Dawn look at Ash. Occasionally, I nudged her as she blushed furiously.

We then left class once the bell went. The rest of the day flew rather quickly actually, before I knew it I was sitting in the dining hall with Iris, Serena and Dawn.
