Hello! My word it has been a while... I know this chapter seems out of the blue, but I would like to get back into writing again, and that starts with me updating my stories once more. :D
Chapter 9
19:00pm
"Kyaah!"
"Look, look!"
"It's Idol! Idol over here!"
I'm pulled from my thoughts by the sounds of the Day Class fangirling over the Night Class. Clearly I didn't walk far enough away because normally I can't hear them from where I am during recreational time. All of that noise means it must be time for the switch over, which means I've been sat here for three or four hours now. It's funny how fast time passes when you are alone with your thoughts.
I stretch and yawn before getting to my feet. I grab my bag from the ground and head over to the gates. I'm not going to watch or take part in the switch, but instead hang back a bit and then meet Beth when it's all over.
Slowly, I make my way over to the gates where dozens of girls are screaming at the top of their lungs. I make a dive for the nearest tree and wriggle my way up it's trunk until I'm perched on one of the branches. From here, I can see the switch perfectly.
Soon, the huge gates swing open, allowing the Night Class to emerge from the Moon Dormitory. Naturally, the Day Class students go mad, trying to get their favourites to pay attention to them. I can just about see Beth as she desperately tries to attract the attention of Aido Hanabusa, the blonde boy who called me 'tasty'. One by one the Night Class students make their way towards the main school building, with Kaname being the last one out. I wonder if they always go in this order?
I continue watching them from the tree, but because of where I am I have to stand on the branch to be able to see them fully. Keeping my eyes on Kaname, all of those questions flood back into my mind. It would be so much simpler if we were able to mix with the Night Class, but that is nearly impossible.
Just as the Night Class were about disappear into the building, Kaname pauses in his tracks and briefly turns his head to look behind him. I'm almost certain he is looking directly at me, even though I'm fairly far away. It almost looks like he is smiling slightly at me, but before I can confirm it he carries on forward, looking away from me.
20:59pm
Once the switch was over I met up with Beth and we headed to our dorm. Straight away she got changed and then hopped into her bed, pulling a book out to read. I patiently waited until she was finished before getting myself ready.
Just as I was getting into my nightwear, after having a shower, I hear Beth call me from our room. "Hey, Lissy?"
I finish in the bathroom and walk over to my bed. "Hmm?"
"I, I spoke to Phil today."
"Sounds thrilling..."
"Don't start. You two used to be great friends."
"Emphasis on the 'used to'"
"Why can't you just be friends with him again? You don't always have to fight him." It is clear that Beth is half annoyed at me, half crying.
"Aw Beth." I reply, moving so I'm sat next to her on her bed. "It's just not possible. Not anymore." I smile, hugging her gently.
"Why? What's stopping you?"
"The threads that once held us together have been broken for too long. We can't spend a second together without breaking into an argument." I explain. "The damage is too great."
"But I miss the times we used to spend all together, all three of us." She pulls away from me and hugs her knees close to her chest.
"I know. I do too. But we've reached a point where that just won't happen."
Sighing, I go over to my own bed and slide under the covers. There is little I can say to make Beth feel better. She wants the past, and I can't give it to her. It doesn't help that I've been so busy focusing on myself, I've been paying less and less attention to her. We used to stay up practically all night, gossiping about books and boys. But I look at her now and she is lying on her side, facing away from me, and it isn't that long after nine.
22:30pm
*sigh* It seems my attempts at getting to sleep are hopeless.
Without moving, I can hear Beth's slow breathing, signalling to me that she is asleep. 'Perfect', I think to myself. Swiftly, I get out of my bed and silently leave the room, pulling the door shut gently so as not to wake Beth.
I aimlessly wander the halls of the dormitory until I reach the main doors. The cool, night time air hits my skin and instantly causes Goosebumps to form. It seems my nightgown in not very thermal. There is not much of a breeze, the night is in fact rather still and calm. Up in the sky, the stars and moon are shining brightly, casting a luminous light over everything.
I strode onwards, figuring that if I kept moving I would eventually tire myself out. Onwards I walked, deeper into the grounds, into the trees.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? A day class girl roaming around at this time of night?"
I stopped in my tracks. I have heard that voice before somewhere… I whipped my body around and found myself faced with Hanabusa.
"You?!" I called out.
"Wha-Hey! You're that girl who was so rude to me before!" Initially, he sounded like a child, but his tone became more serious. "The girl who seemed un-phased by the Night Class."
I rolled my eyes at him. "I wasn't rude to you. You were being forward and so I reacted."
He moved closer to me. "Even so…" Suddenly, he grabbed my wrist with a tight grasp and twisted my body so that my back was to his chest.
"Let go!" I growled.
"Not yet, I want to have a taste first. After all, the substitutes are so bland, and I missed out last time…"
I could feel his breath against my wrist, what the hell is he doing? "I said let go!" I attempted to wriggle free, but my struggles were useless. And then, I felt something sharp against my skin. The way he was holding me meant I could not see what it was, but it felt unnatural. Without warning, the same sharp thing pierced my flesh, sending a sharp pain through my hand. I was stunned into silence.
This boy, is drinking my blood.
This boy, is a vampire.
