Chapter Twenty
A whole week had pass as I attempted to be normal, to have a straight head, to make the right choice. But being normal meant failing at school. I blinked, feeling the heat on my face as the teacher said something to me. Ah damn it what did -
"138.37." Hiruka muttered under his breath.
"One hundred and thirty eight point thirty-seven."
The teacher grunted at the right answer and I whisper a "thanks" towards Hiruka. Although he was confused at how one moment, he was following me on my little journey and the next he was at the Dorm, he seemed completely fine with it. And I got along with him – he was completely normal. He smiled at me, but then paid attention back to the board. I just sigh, and rest my head on my arms.
When class ended, I walk towards Zero and Yuuki.
"Are you okay, Amari? You seem...out of it, lately." Yuuki said, concerned. She knew about everything thanks to her Pure-blood boyfriend (I shop this) and I nod and mutter an "I'm fine". She looked at me, worried, but ran to the crowds at the gate, trying to calm them down.
"You're not." Zero said, staring at me.
"You're right," I shrugged casually, not even trying to lie. There wasn't a point, he wouldn't do anything reckless if I told him so. He wasn't like Yuuki who would play hero to mend things together.
"You ended your little relationship with the vampire?"
"Yep."
"And now you regret it."
Eye twitch. "No."
The gate opened once again and the girls scream again, like they always do, and the night class walked out, like - well, you get the point. The same routine. Ichijou saw me, and then he looked at Zero who stood beside me, watching Yuuki try to fend off the screaming girls. Ichijou approached me then despite who I was standing next too. But I couldn't blame him, I gave him a direct opportunity.
"Amari – "
"You should go, Ichijou." I said softly, smiling sadly at me. I don't give him a chance and this time, I leave.
