A Foren Transfer Student chapter 11. Valentines Day. Chocolate and A Dance
I sat in the big tree by the Moon Dorm gates and sighed. It had been a little over a month since we got back to the school, and when we got back we were greeted by the Headmaster, Yuki, Zero and Kaname. I hadn't expected that. After I got settled back in I went to see Griffin so he could go back home. Luckily, I was told that Griffin didn't cause any trouble and no one broke the 'Griffin rules.' As I sat in the tree I hung a leg and swung it, blocking out the screaming girls as I thought. They were screaming even more then normal since today was valentines day and here, the Day Class girls got to give chocolate to the Night Class guy that they happened to like. I found this kind of weird. Back in Canada, and even some other places, it's the boy that gives the chocolate to the girl, not the other way around. I wasn't planning to give chocolate to anyone, not even Aido. It would just feel really weird if I did.
I then watched the gates open and all the girls started to scream even louder. I ending up having to cover my ears to try and block out the loud screams. I then saw the Night Class come out and saw Aido right in the front with a huge grin on his face. Something told me that Aido loved this day more then anything. I couldn't help but laugh as he then got over excided and started to run off, only to have Kaname stop him and tell him to behave himself. As I stopped laughing, I watched the Night Class and saw that some of them didn't look to happy about this and I give saw Shiki try to sneak away. Although, Ichijo caught him and took him to his fan girl. I then chuckled at the look on Shiki's face had made when he was caught. I continued to watch the girls give out chocolate until the Night Class were in the school. I then jumped down from the tree and walked back to my dorm room.
When I got into my room I saw a note on my bed beside the lion Aido had given me for Christmas. I walked over then read the note. "Tonight is the night that you wear the dress, at the Ball/dance. Can't wait to see you in it." I read the note out loud then groaned. I knew that the note was from Aido. I was hoping that he forgot about the dress thing, since it had been a little over a month since I last heard about it. I then sighed. 'Better get this over with.' I though and took out a midnight blue dress out of my dresser. I put it on then brushed my hair, although I didn't do anything with it. I just brushed it. I then put on my coat and went outside and ran to the school, the last bit of setting sun barley lighting the way. When I got into the school, I put my coat in the room they were using as a coat room then headed to the big gym, where the dance, or ball, was being held. This was a ball, not a dance to me, since back home, in school dances you can dance whatever way you want. Here, it was more like ball room dancing.
As I entered the ball room I saw a few other people there and almost all of the Night Class as well. A few people turned to look at me and ended up staring. I blushed at the attention. I then saw Aido come towards you, looking wide eyed. "Wow, Ashley, you look.. wow." This was the first time that Aido had called me by my full name, and without using the San, too. Aido was still looking at me, wide eyed and it looked like he wasn't breathing. "Hay, Aido. You might want to breath." I said and he seemed to snap out of his trance. "You look beautiful, Ash-San." He said and smiled at me softly, almost dream like. I then heard music start to begin and then noticed that more people was now here. As I looked around, I felt a hand rap around my wirst and pull me to the dancing floor. I turned my head back and saw Aido, still smiling at me.
"Aido, what are you doing?" I asked as he griped me hand in his. "What does it look like? I'm going to dance with you, of coarse." He said and took my other hand, placing it onto his own shoulder before putting his hand on my back. "You know you're so post to ask someone if they want to dance, right? You can't force them." I said them saw Aido smile while closing his eyes for a second. "But if I would have asked, you would have said no, right?" He asked as he opened his eyes, smiling at me in a seductive kind of smile. The smile kind of made my heart stop and made my chest hurt a little. I managed to stop myself from blushing though. "Well that'd just be because I can't dance." I said then Aido laughed softly. "You shouldn't say you can't doing something when you are doing it." He said and gave another laugh. 'Huh?' I thought. I then became aware that we had been dancing all this time. He seemed to smile at my reaction then pull me closer to his body as we danced.
What seemed like hours turned out to be only a few minutes. Aido pulled away from me as the song ended. "Thanks, Ash-San. I had fun." Aido said, giving me a smile that look like it belonged to a little kid. I had no idea what to say, so I just smiled back and gave a little nod. Aido then walked off to dance with some of his fan girls. For some time, I got more complements on my looks and some boys even asked to dance with me, but I blew them off. The only one I danced with was with Aido, and that's all I planed to do, and since I was forced into the dance with him, I really didn't want to dance with anyone else. Although to tell the truth, I kind of enjoyed dancing with Aido, and I liked it when he held me even closer to him. Just don't tell anyone (Taking to you if you don't know). About an hour into the dance, I left. I had to sort out my real feeling for him. This would be my first time ever thinking over my feeling for a boy, even if that boy was a vampire. To me a boy is a boy, no matter what he really is.
When I got into my dorm room I took off the dress and through it in the corner. I then laid on my bed and thought about my feels towards Aido. I really, really liked him, and my chest always seemed to hurt when he was around. Maybe I was falling in love with him. 'Oh yeah, the vampire and the witch, such a nice couple.' I thought to myself sarcastically Then other thought came into my mind. 'Does Aido even like me the way I like him?' I asked myself then got a handful of memories. The first memory was of him and me in the coffee shop and Aido was flirting with me. Another was when he hugged me for the first time. (Both are in chap 2). I then remembered the prank I pulled on Aido in revenge for hugging me in front of the Day Class girls. There was the time I leaned into his shoulder and a few days later he found out I was a witch. I then remember something that brought a blush to my cheeks. It was the time Aido froze me to a wall then kissed me.
Memory after memory kept popping into my mind. When the latest memories was done going through my mind, I sighed then got under the covers to go to sleep. Unless Aido was just toying with me there was a good chance of him liking me, almost the way I like him or just like the way I like him. Although, Aido didn't seem like the person to toy with my feels, so there was a very good chance that Aido liked me.
