Chapter 4 - Lies

I sat on my bed, Ami had already been to class and gone to sleep, but since I was in recovery I had to stay in my dorm, I was so bored, there was nothing to do.

I was wondering why Aido would lie to me about something like that? What would be the point? The same thought entered my mind again.

Unless he has something to hide. I frowned and decided to investigate a bit more, I knocked on Aido's door and he opened it,

'Oh hey Destiny.' He winked and beckoned me inside. 'What did you want to talk to me about?' He sat on his bed and I did too.

'Well, I was just wondering. If I fell hard enough to knock myself out, then why don't I have any cuts or bruises on my head?' I questioned.

'Well, uhhh.' He looked to the side. 'I don't know, obviously your body is fast at healing.' He stated.

'How can a bruise heal in a day?' I smiled hoping to uncover something. 'You were in the hospital for a couple of days at least.' He told me.

Damn. 'Oh, okay, I guess I'll be going then.' I sighed and returned to my dorm.

I knew he was hiding something, but I doubt I would be able to get it out of him.

I was so bored, but I had 2 more weeks off school, I had to find something to do before I died of boredom.

It was late but I didn't care, I put on a hoodie, grabbed a notebook and pencil and I was off.

I found a nice flat patch of grass and sat down, I put the notebook in front of me and started to sketch a pretty crimson red rose in front of me.

'It's almost as pretty as you.' A voice from behind me whispered. I jumped and looked behind me, it was Aido. 'Dammit Aido.' I grunted.

He sat down beside me and put his arm around me, I scowled at him. 'Don't the stars look amazing tonight Destiny?' He announced.

I looked up at the sky, it was definitely pretty.

I yelped as something touched my butt. 'Did you just touch my butt!?' I shrieked.

'Maybe.' Aido grinned. I pushed his arm off me and carried on drawing the rose in front of me, it really was beautiful.

When I was done I admired my piece of art. It wasn't that good, but it was good enough for me, I smiled in satisfaction pondering over my achievement.

'Even I can draw better than that.' Aido bragged. 'Aido will you just go away.' I closed my eyes feeling irritated by his presence.

'Okay, but then you'll be all alone, in the dark, with all these vampire's around.' He quietly uttered. 'I think I'll manage.' I sighed.

Aido soon left and there was peace at last. I chucked my sketch to the side and laid back with my arms behind my head and stared up at the stars.

The night sky was lovely at night, especially away from civilisation where the sky wasn't polluted with light from cities.

I could actually see the stars for once, when I was in America, I could never actually see the stars, but it was nice and relaxing, gazing up at the stars in complete silence, it makes you think about what you were missing all those nights going to sleep and then waking up to the bright sun, waiting for the sun to come up, when actually the night was something to savour.

I heard a rustle so I jumped up with haste and looked around, I never thought I would admit it but I regret making Aido go away, now I was scared.

I heard twigs breaking and leaves moving behind me, I spun around rapidly following the noises wherever they went.

I screamed as someone grabbed my shoulders. 'Boo.' It was Aido, what a surprise, I smacked him on the head,

'You're a fucking idiot you know that.' I yelled. He put his arms around my waist from behind and pulled my in close, 'Were you scared?' He teased.

I elbowed him in the stomach, 'Ouch.' He shouted. 'Why you gotta be so mean.' He sulked. 'Look I'm sorry okay, I'm a little frustrated.'

I apologised. 'Can I have a hug?' He looked at me with his sweet blue puppy dog eyes. 'Fine.' I sighed.

I rapped my arms around him and he smiled. I was trying to break off the hug but he wouldn't let go. 'Aido! Let go!' I demanded.

I pulled away causing us both to fall onto the soft grass below. He started tickling me and I laughed. 'Stop! I can't take it!' I shrieked.

I'm really ticklish, another one of my many flaws and usually when someone tickles me I break out into a hideous laugh that I can't stand.

I started laughing but I held his hands and stopped him before my hideousness was unleashed.

We laid on the grass for a while looking up to the sky, when I realised we were pretty close to each other.

I didn't want to say anything, but I kinda liked it. I'm assuming he did too since he didn't move away in disgust.

'On a date are we?' a voice asked from behind the bushes.

I immediately sat up. I saw another night class student standing there, he had green eyes and light blonde hair.

'Oh hey Takuma, yes we were on a date actually.' He smiled and put his arm around me.

'No, we were not.' I pushed his arm off my shoulder and got up. 'Nice to meet you I'm Takuma.' He bowed politely and walked over to us.

'See Aido, this is a real gentlemen, unlike you.' I glanced back to Aido and grinned. Aido scowled and got up.

'Nice to meet you Takuma I'm Destiny.' I bowed and smiled at him.

'Well Destiny, you had better be getting to your dorm, it's getting pretty late.' He inquired. 'I will walk you back if you would like.' He stated.

'Yes thank you.' I smiled and walked with him leaving Aido behind.

Aido sighed, 'How come he gets all the attention!' Aido protested.

I was soon back to my dorm, I had thanked Takuma again for walking me back and I fell asleep with no problem at all.
