SPLASH
I jump into the water at the school's swimming pool and swam all the way to the bottom. Holding my breathe as I rested on the bottom of the pool, I closed my eyes and rewinded the whole day.
I had a pretty shitty day at school today. I found out that Christina was is some of my classes and she somehow was enrolled here in less than 24 hours. I had to track down Reiji to ask him if he was the one that enrolled her or not. And in my frustration, yes. It's annoying how everyone likes her. Even Reiji is fond of her, and he is almost never fond of anyone. Shuu though I think is growing a thing for this chick. She hasn't tried to get close to me today, not giving me extra stress about dealing it her.
We were having midnight break, meaning from midnight to half past; we had a break. I made sure the pool would be empty and changed into shorts. And now I'm here. I began to feel light headed and decide to rise to the surface. As I rose to breath, I grab hold of the side of the pool and flip my hair.
"I brought you a towel." Christina's voice caught my ears and I glare up at her as she held a towel to me.
"I'm fine." I answer in a low voice. Pushing myself out of the water, I climb up to the cement flooring and began to walk to the exit.
"I just don't want you to get cold." I stop and hear Christina's light footsteps get closer to me. When she stops behind me she extends the towel out toward me and waits for me to take it. But I didn't.
I turn around with a grim expression on my face. "Stop it. Just stop it." She pulls the towel to her chest and takes a step back as I also match her steps. "Look. You can't just waltz into this family and expect us to take you in. No! We're all vampires. Bloodthirsty monsters. You; are just a mortal. Claiming to be my little sister. But you don't know my mother, and you don't know me." We keep walking back until Christina was at the edge of the pool and shaking in fear.
"But brother,"
"Stop calling me brother! I'm not your brother!" I shout at her and finally had my chance of pushing her into the water.
As she fell into the water, a slight scream came out of her mouth and she attempts to get a grip on my hand. Not even putting up a struggle she sunk to the bottom of the pool and I turn around to leave the pool area, thinking she will rise up when I leave. But as I got to the exit, I hear another splash come from the water and I saw Shuu rise to the surface with Christina in his embrace. She coughs violently as my brother held her out of the water and swam to the pools edge. Exiting the water, he picks her up in a cradle and I see her clench to him like a leech.
"Don't get too comfortable with her clinging to you like that." I say to him as he passes me.
"Don't get too comfortable with trying to kill her like that." Shuu responds as he left the exit with the girl in his arms.

I am in the locker room taking a shower to get the chlorine out of my hair but I somehow couldn't stop thinking of why Shuu saved Christina when she knew how to swim.
"Unless she didn't…." My thoughts trail as I kept thinking.
"Don't get too comfortable with trying to kill her like that."
I thought of the words that Shuu said. Maybe she really didn't know how to swim. Well I wouldn't really know because I don't want to go near her.
I turn off the shower and look into my reflection in the mirror. When I look at myself; I think of Christa. But looking at myself right now; I saw Christina. I'm not gonna lie; but it kinda is creepy that we both look the same. Then tightening my jaws, I punch the mirror and let it shatter all over the sink and counter, not caring if I was bleeding.

We finally made it home after a long shitty night at school.
I aimlessly walk around in the halls and unknowingly, I walk past the living room doors only to be stopped by a sound of voices. Peeking through the door, I saw Shuu laying on the long couch with his music plugged in and only one eye open, staring at Christina who seems to be also laying on the couch talking away.
"I just wish, wish he would talk to me. Normally. Not be so angry that I'm here." I hear her say.
"Sorry, can't grant you that wish."
