Serena's POV

I shouldn't have been surprised when Gary shoved me, but for some reason I was.

"What is wrong with you!?" I heard Calem yell before he helped me up.

"Thanks." I said to him, before looking back to Gary and glaring at him. What an asshole.

"I thought he was your friend." Calem admitted. I sighed. He is my friend. I then gritted my teeth, "He's still an idiot."

Cilan walks by, which gives me an idea.

"Cilan!" I greeted, walking over to him as as he turned around, "Oh, hey Serena." He smiled. "Can you do me a big favour please?" I asked. Cilan nodded, "Of course."

I smiled before looking into his eyes, compelling him. "Can you please check on Gary, he's taking a girl into his room." Cilan nodded. "Sure thing." He said before walking to his dorm.

I walked back to Calem, as he still wasn't happy about Gary shoving me. "Don't worry about it." I insisted, with a smile.

Gary's POV

I lead Leaf out the doors. I took her behind the school building, where we were out of sight.

Truth be told, I don't usually care about doing this secretively, as I tried to bite Dawn in the hallway, but I'm trying to hide Leaf from those who'll get in my business.

Well, it's already going fucking downhill as a certain blonde caught me with her.

"Okay, no one seems to be around." I admitted to Leaf as she just nodded.

I sunk my teeth into her neck again, this time successfully. Leaf flinched as I drank from her, but she stayed quiet.

Eventually I let go of her, as the girl seemed dizzy. "You okay?" I asked as she nodded, "I'll be okay." She admitted.

"That's good, because you still have to come back tomorrow." I insisted. The bell suddenly rang.

"Hey don't you have to head back to school?" I asked her. Leaf nodded, "Yeah I'm probably late now."

"You should probably clean up your neck before you head back." I suggested as we began walking. "Maybe it's best if you come after school instead, next time." I added.

At least after school, everyone was doing their own thing, meaning Ash and friends won't be around to annoy me about it.

"I suppose." Leaf replied, before heading towards the exit. "See you tomorrow gorgeous~" I farewelled the girl as she just kept walking.

I walked inside and headed to my locker.

Leaf's POV

I headed to a bathroom in town quickly and cleaned up the bite.

I sighed as I looked at it, "He's awful." I groaned.

The only reason I didn't push him away or run was because no matter what, I'm compelled to seeing him daily, so I have no way around this.

I cleaned the bite and sighed.

"How long can I take this?"

Dawn's POV

I sat nervously, awaiting Barry's reaction.

He blinked, "You uh.. are in love with Ash?" He asked. At that I blushed, "Yes, I am."

Barry's POV

Well this shouldn't have surprised me, honestly.

I'm in two minds about this. Of course I would support them, but Ash isn't human, which worries me.

At the same time, at least it wasn't someone like Gary she'd fallen for.

I guess I should feel happy for her, and just keep an eye on her if she and Ash do date.

"Really?" I finally spoke up. "That's so cute!"

Dawn then looked relieved, she gave me a smile as I smiled back. The bell then rang, which meant we had to head back to class.

Dawn and I walked inside and parted ways, as all I had on my mind was her and Ash. Would they actually date??

Dawn's POV

I felt a bit of weight lift off my shoulders after confessing, if only it was to Ash though.

I walked up to my locker and turned around, spotting Ash walking with Ursula, and I sighed.

She was my competition. No matter how many times Ash tells me he feels nothing for her, I do see them around eachother quite a bit.

I then turned back to my locker and got my books for next class.

Ash's POV

I was just walking, minding my own business, when a certain pink haired girl decided to join me.

"What do you want?" I muttered as she grinned. "Well if I have to be honest, you."

I blinked, "I don't like you." I admitted bluntly. "And yet you follow me, wondering why we seemed meant to be." She said, putting on some dreamy voice.

"I don't care anymore, you're only going to waste my time. It doesn't even matter now." I decided, sick of her following me. "Oh but it does." She admitted as she stopped me, before getting up on her toes and kissing me.

I pushed her off me, and shot a glare as she giggled. "Bye Ash~" She said in a flirty tone, heading somewhere. I groaned, wondering what that was all about, until I turned to my right to see Dawn at her locker.

"Fuck my liiiifeee." I groaned internally, as Dawn probably heard everything. "Oh hey Ash." I heard her speak up as she turned around. "Oh uh hey!" I quickly changed my attitude.

"We have Math now, don't we?" She asked as I nodded, praying she didn't know what had happened with Ursula.

"Yeah we do." I replied.

Dawn's POV

I well and truly heard what happened right before I turned around, which makes me believe I don't have a chance with Ash.

Nevertheless, I act like nothing happened and we head to class.

Timeskip to after school

Ursula's POV

I wandered around, urgently looking for Paul as I have an idea.

Eventually I saw his purple head and dashed over to him. "Hey." I greeted as he turned to me.

"I have an idea that could benefit the both of us." I said as Paul looked at me, "You mean an idea that will benefit you. You can't guarantee I'll benefit from it." He spoke up.

I hate how my brother talks.

"Well I've been trying to get Ash back, but he won't budge." I admitted. My brother just shrugged, "That's your fault for letting him go." He replied. I gritted my teeth.

It was true, but I deeply regret it. I'd do anything to have back what we had.

"There's someone in my way, someone I think could bring you great happiness." I continued.

"This someone is bringing Ash great happiness and it's tearing me apart." I admitted now, sighing. "We were once bringing each other such happiness, and now.. he doesn't remember me!"

Paul sighed, "You're the one that made me make him forget about you, I told you he'd suffer the consequences."

I shot him a glare, there's gotta be a way around this.

"You should try talk to to Dawn more, to at least keep her away from Ash." I insisted. Paul shook his head, "I drank from her at our party." He admitted.

"You whAT!?" I scowled. "What? We're Vampires, it's what we do." Paul scoffed. "We may be Hybrids but we still need blood." He added. "That's not the point! Out of all of the people invited, you just had to drink from her!" I boomed before throwing my arms in the air in defeat.

Paul just shrugged, "You're not making me feel bad at all." I groaned at that statement. "Can you at least keep her from Ash please?" I pleaded. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever." Paul finished.

Ash's POV

I sat outside the school building, trying to get some homework done. It's funny isn't it? I've been alive for god knows how long, and I'm sitting here doing homework.

And I'll admit, I'm puzzled by it. How embarrassing.

Staying confuzzled, I didn't hear a voice greet me. "Uh, hello? Earth to Ash?" I finally looked up to see Iris.

"Oh, hey Iris!" I greeted back, scratching the back of my head as she sat down beside me.

"You look confused." She grinned. "I am." I admitted, sweatdropping. "Is it the homework?" The witch asked. "Eh..." I chuckled, "Sorta."

"Is it something other than homework?" She asked. It's as if she can tell something's up. "Well.." I trailed off.

"Can I tell you something?"

(A/N: More boring ass filler but I'm leading up to a heap of events :D)
