"Why are you such a stupid blonde," I heard as I was walking down the hallways and I already knew who it was from. I didn't have to turn around to look to know that the person that had said that to me was the one and only Vanitas and his unique way of trying to charm people. Even though I knew he wasn't serious about it I still was a little upset, I don't know why though. Maybe its just my usual shy and sensitive nature that was at fault.

I tried to think of a way to respond to it, but I couldn't for the first few minutes of thinking. I couldn't think of anything that usual sweet Toryn would say that would sink into Vanitas' thick skull so I decided on saying something a little more Vanitas like. That didn't work well at first either, seeing as I'm not used to be mean like him. Though after a little while something had finally hit me like a truck and then I asked, "I don't know, why are you such an ignorant bastard?"

"Oooh, so we're going to be mean today," Vanitas asked in his cocky voice, causing me to almost roll my eyes. Vanitas always had to act like a jerk to feel like he was cool and it gets a little annoying after awhile to just constantly hear rude reamrks all the time. It was a little wierd for me though, because usually I never really cared about Vanitas' rude remark or him insulting me, I mean it was what made him Vanitas. I guess maybe I was just expecting something different on my birthday and all.

"No, I'm just not in the mood today, I guess," I said, stopping at my locker and taking out a few books from it as Vanitas threw a few of his into it. I waited for him to finish and then I closed it up and locked it before resuming down the hallway. Vanitas was walking behind me, but I wasn't actually looking at him I was actually spacing off a bit and didn't even hear him call my name a few times.

"Toryn," he said one final time, shaking me a bit which jolted me out of my little imaginary world rather quickly. I turned around and faced him but didnt say anything just a little bit out of it still and I kind of wasn't in the mood today. I think Vanitas picked up on that seeing as how he almost seemed worried, but its Vani, he can't really be worried, can he? Though if he was I would feel really bad about it and everything.

He didn't say anything for awhile, he was probably expecting me to say something first, which most likely wasn't going to happen anytime soon. Though after awhile Vanitas sighed and rolled his eyes a bit before looking back at me. Right now I was thinking either I was right and he wasn't worried or he was just pretending not to. But either way he said, "Is something wrong, Toryn? You're acting really wierd today."

"No I'm not," I said shrugging him off and started walking again. I got a few feet and then Vanitas grabbed my hand and spun me around so I was facing him. God he was persistant today and wasn't going to give up on knowing why I was upset. This was starting to annoy me a bit but at the same time I guess I deserved it and all. I shouldn't really try to fool him or hide stuff from him as well.

"Tell the truth," Vanitas said back at me completely serious at the moment and almost seemed a little annoyed right now. I wasn;t in the talking modd right now and he wanted almost a full on explanation to why I was mad, like he couldn't really figure it out. I guess maybe it just slipped his mind and I'm overreacting a bit right now, so I'll just try to relax, but I couldn't help taking advantage of the opening that he left which turned into a long argument.

"Coming from you that sounds rather odd," I said back at him, causing him to sigh.

"Toryn," he sighed.

"Vanitas," I mimicked.

"You realize I can do this all day," Vanitas remarked.

"So can I," I shot back causing him to shut up.

"See right there," Vanitas said, pointing at me.

"Right where?"

"You're being sarcastic. You're never like that, what's wrong?"

"I've already told you, nothing's wrong."

"And yet again I say, tell the truth."

"Why should I? It's not like you could care. You're Vanitas, the big guy who doesn't care about anyone or anything."

"That's not true."

"Yeah it is, why don't you tell the truth?"

"I am. I do care about someone and she's being a bitch right now."

"Maybe she has a right to be."

"That's all I want to know, is why she's upset with me," he said rather softly and not the least bit rude at all, which caused me to stop and think about what to say next. Obviously he was being sincere and it would be awfully rude of me to be sarcastic right back when he was trying hard right now to be nice. So I decided on what to say next to him and I made sure it wasn't rude at all.

"Fine I'm upset that you forgot it was my birthday, happy Vanitas," I said finally giving up on all of this. He seemed to sigh and the roll his eyes only it wasn't in a sarcastic way, but more of a playful way as if there was some big joke I never caught on to this whole time. I was a bit confused and just stared at him for a little while awaiting a response or an explanation to why he did that. He seemed to just stretch out the time for a bit, a little amused with the whole situation right now.

"Not at all," he said surprising me, though he kept a smile on his face the whole time which confused me even more. I just stared at him a little confused and then he opened up his backpack and pulled out a wrapped present, which amazed me. We were just at my locker and he put everything in his bag in my locker and I didn't even notice it at all. Wow I guess I really am a stupid blonde afterall.

"You seriously though I would forget your birthday," he asked and I just nodded as he hadnded me the present. I unwrapped it and as I did all I heard was Vantuas mumble something under his breath, something I wouldn't forget soon. It was something that he said a lot and that I grown used to hearing all too much. It doesn't really bother me and I laugh a bit whenever he says it. This story ends and begins with the same note as Vanitas asks, "Why are you such a stupid blonde?"
