Chapter 2: University

Nina's POV

French Class. Boring. I don't know why Lily and I took up the class in the beginning anyways. We were already fluent speakers and they were learning the basics. Again. Boring. I always was eager to go to Oxford University and used to picture myself mouth watering in front of all the knowledge they offered, yet here I am, spread over my table, bored and half dead. I sighed.

Lily glanced up at me in disbelief and gave me a look I knew too well, the "You-Should-Write-Stories-About-Vampires" look. I wanted to drop my forehead to the table but restrained myself. It was as if Lily constantly forgot that studying was actually the point of coming to class. Exasperating. But maybe I was too much of a workaholic? No, she was a too much of an easygoing person. Argh… Okay, Fine! I admit! We are both guilty…

And then the expression on her face changed. She gave me this cute, little, genuine, dreamy smile and I melted. She seemed so small and fragile. Even though she was older and was supposed to be the grown up, I was the one who took care of her. Forgetting the cause of my desperate state I remembered how our bond started. Twilight. Our favourite book even till now. And since then we had planned on moving into a flat together, study in one of the best universities and find our vampire soul mates. Ever since, of course, I've stopped dreaming. It's highly unlikely that I'll ever meet a vampire. Or fall in love. I don't believe in love. Well in fact I do, only not in my case. Like I am sure Lily would find her prince charming and live happily ever after… blablabla… and I'll be happy for her. Or not. Will I be? Definitely not! I forgot about how horny she could get! Eww…

Yet Lily seemed to hope and to still believe and was even quite obsessed with it, which brings us to -sigh– Therapy.

I was still day dreaming about our past years together when I saw what made her grin like that. And in my head, it was like those romantics comedies when the heroine dreams about her hero but suddenly the song playing comes to an abrupt and ugly stop when she realises that her love is not meant to be.

The guy we bumped into yesterday was standing at the door. An adorably embarrassed grin on his lips and a slip of paper in his hands, he walked towards the teacher. I gawked in awe. I didn't notice how well built he was and how his black hair contrasted with his flawlessly pale skin. I froze and glared at Lily who was smiling smugly. Nah, she wouldn't. She couldn't…
Goodness Gracious, I knew her too well! Yes, she would! Of course she could! Was I playing stupid or what?!?

The final bell rang.

Lily and I were still sitting, glaring at each other while the hot guy finished talking to the teacher. He turned and walked out of the room. Suddenly Lily jumped over the table.

"Noooooooooo" I yelled

She skidded through the door.

I had to catch her but she was already too far!
I was passing through the door when I heard:

"Don't you dare lie to me, I have holy water in my backpack and I am NOT afraid to use it! "

I hit my forehead. She did NOT just say that.

Oh, no!
She softened her face into an angelic grin.
Not good.
And it was followed by puppy-like eyes.
This was definitely going to turn out bad...
She clasped her hand under her chin.

Oh oh.

When her lips parted, butterflies stormed into my stomach. I gasped for air.

"Are you a vammmmmpirrrrrre? "

Shit. I almost collapsed- and I swore.

He chuckled lightly, folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the wall.

I sprung up to grab her hand all the while making up a quick excuse.

I gave him an embarrassed smile.

"Hum Lily, don't just stand here. You're going to be late for therapy."

I was dragging her away but she dug in her heel, refusing to cooperate. The whole process of saving her the embarrassment was flushed down the drain.

"Nina" She whined "We were talking about our date!"

Huh?"You ruined everything!" -Oh yeah, I got it. She was fantasising; typical.

She turned her head "What time are you picking me uphot vampire dude?"

He chuckled in a low, sexy tone. Arching an eyebrow, he flashed her an alluring crooked grin.

Could this get any worse?!?

And he seemed to actually enjoy it. Well, good for you Lily, but enough shame for today!

Once Away from all the people, I spun abruptly to face her, both hand on her shoulders. She stared at me waiting for the consequences.

"Lily you,"

"Iknowwhatyou'rethinkingbutheranafterme, tookmebythewaistandaskmeonadate"

"Lily! I heard the whole conversation. You just imagined that. You have to stop stalking people."

"But"

"No, buts. Promise me you'll stop embarrassing yourself"

"But"

I narrowed my eyes.

"Lily…"

"Okay, Okay, okay but please don't be mad at me! I hate it when you'remad"

And so we entered class with a sheepish Lily and a very very angry Nina.

During the entire lesson not a single word escaped my lips. I just nodded my head whenever it was necessary. I was trying to regain my composure. Anger could take possession of my body and mind so easily. But letting it go took quite some time. I was very attached to it.

I folded my arms and tried to concentrate on something. I caught sight of my agenda. A magazine picture was wrapped all over it. She and I – because that's what I call her when I'm mad at her – were posing on it. Yeah, modelling. That's what we are doing to help me. I needed money for Oxford. Lily didn't need any of it because her family took care of everything. They politely offered me the same option but I vigorously denied. She never understood why.

Maybe that was why she was the way she was and I the way I am. I mean I was very responsible and mature while Lily was very free-spirited and outgoing. It was all part of her charm…but maybe that was the difference between us. Money.

As I was analysing the details on the picture my eyes flew to my right leg. They hid my scar so well… I was surprised to see such smooth skin. Thinking back to the way I got it, my body involuntarily shuddered. I nodded. Yup, Technology is great.

We were both wearing high class Victoria's secret lingerie. She was dressed as a sunset goddess with her auburn hair curling down her shoulders to the top of her red bra. Her big hips were accentuated by her petite waist and she was clad in a beautiful jewelled g-string made of black and red lace.

And I, with my spiky black hair, was dressed as a midnight angel. My hands were behind my head, my eyes smoldering. I was wearing grey colored contacts and a black corset with white strings and simple black boy short.

My lips slightly curved at the memory which crossed my mind especially the huge ice-cream fight that had followed the photo shoot. What a waste – it was mint choc-chip ice cream.

She was quietly observing me from the corner of her eyes; probably looking for any sign of weakness which would allow her to talk to me again. I didn't want to show her my smile. I was too stubborn to forgive so easily.

After what felt like hours, the bell finally rang. We headed to the cafeteria, my silent treatment still in place. I heard Lily huff beside me and couldn't help the grin hat slowly enveloped my face.

She narrowed her eyes at me.

"You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

I almost smirked, almost. But she knew me too well and saw right through my façade. She narrowed her eyes again and pressed her lips into a thin line. She was annoyed. And I was not expecting this reaction.

She avoided my eyes and fiddled with the edge of her turtleneck sweater. Her gaze lingered on her black boots, her hair falling in between us.

I sighed and grabbed a plate, shaking my head at her childish antics.

Ten minutes passed. Wow. New record. Usually she would only last 2minutes or so, and then her perky mood would burst out as if nothing had happened. Like I said, impressive…

I was gazing across the cafeteria when I felt the weight of a hand grabbing a section of my leather pants right under my hips.

I froze. That was way too low. I growled and turned my head slowly.

"Lily, you better…"

My jaw dropped to the floor in shock. It was not Lily. Actually, it had spiky black coal-like hair, had light blue eyes, was one head taller than me and looked extremely like Lily's hot guy. But then, they looked so different in so many ways… It was also very attractive and mesmerizing; but hypnotizing or not, it was touching my butt!

I started to scream:

"I-wha- WHAT THE HELL?!? Who do you think you are?!? You think that as mister dazzling" – darn, didn't want to compliment him- "you can just waltz in and grab a piece of bootie?!? Pervert! I hope you'll die in a hole of shame!"

"I already…"

His beautiful voice filled my ears and was beckoning me. As his lips moved I felt the urge to throw myself at him and-

"…am dead dummy" he muttered under his breath.

Wait. Something in my romantic-love at first sight scene didn't sound right. Did he just call me dumb?!?

He was slipping away but I caught his arm. Muscular was the only word which came to my mind. Ugh, what was wrong with me?!? He just grabbed my butt! I was losing my composure because of his stupid muscular arm… Which I couldn't even see! It was hidden under some thick black leather jacket for god's sake! Get a grip girl!

My anger flared dangerously – more against myself than him unfortunately- I hissed

"Did you just call me dummy?!?"

One minute passed as I realized the whole cafeteria was silent and staring. How embarrassing. I hated to make a scene in front of people, so I let go of his arm and walked out the place at a quick place.

Don't scream. DON'T scream. DO NOT SCREAM!

I was fiercely repeating those words to myself. I needed to go blow off some steam: Rugby practice would have been perfect. God, I missed working out. I missed being the captain of my girl team. The year had just started so it was too soon to apply to any sport in the school. And I really reallymissed it all. Come on, only one little month to go…

I was breathing erratically, pacing back and forth in front of the cafeteria doors. I needed to do something. I needed SPORT! Yes, I know I am addicted to all these physical activities; but what can I do? Lily had her addiction to bra-shopping and chocolate; I had my work out sessions.

I was smirking at how odd we looked together when I suddenly realized that my anger was slowly seeping away. Maybe I should try yoga with Lily. It'd be handy with my short-temper.

Let's see, my schedule out of school was packed:

Latin and Electric guitar class on Mondays. Tuesdays school finishes late. Then on Wednesdays I have Latin, piano, drawing class, while on Thursdays, I will soon have rugby. 3 hours of rugby was all I could handle, there was no way I was adding a Two-hour yoga class afterwards. Fridays, hum Fridays… Oh yeah I had tango class!

The thought of having Latin-dance in less than a week cheered me up and too bad for yoga class, maybe next year. I would…

"Nina?"

I spun around and saw Lily playing uncomfortably with her necklace.

"Nina I have to tell you something."

Crap. I was just beginning to cool off and she had to…

"Theguydidn'ttouchyourbuttonpurpose, Ipushedhim, NinapleaseforgivemeI'msorry, please, please, please"

All in a single breath. And yeah, Today was the worst day ever… and she just made it worse.

Breath:

"Lilyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!"

"Run for your lives!!!"

She screamed and she flew- yes, flew – back into the cafeteria, her arms flailing wildly.

Very discreet Lily, very discreet. And now thanks to her, it'll take me hours to catch my breath.
