~Chapter II~
One week ago I came to this special school, Saotome Gakuen, to learn how to live as a normal human being in society. Yes, because being a vampire is not as simple as I thought it would be. This school is too extravagant and luxurious so I don't feel too comfortable here. Yet it is located in a very beautiful place; in the middle of the mountains because normal people can't know about vampires. Ringo-sensei even told me that they used a barrier to hide the large building of school. I really don't know how someone could do such a thing, but I suppose everything is because of their supernatural powers.
However there exists another reason, and probably the only one to make me really feel uncomfortable at this school despite the fact of being too luxurious. I'm the only vampire who isn't pure. I'm that which some people, vampires to be more exact, call 'converted'. So because of this I'm despised by any vampires here inside this school. But I don't care, as I decided before I don't need anyone to live. I will live on my own. I will be free for three years like I am being now under this enormous cherry-tree savoring the pleasant breeze dancing around me, without my father or anyone else to tell me how to sit, how to speak, how to walk or even how to breathe. Maybe coming to this school isn't so bad after all. If I can be free, then it can't be bad.
"Kyyaaah, senpai, you're so handsome!"
"What is your favorite food?"
"Né Jinguji-senpai, to who will you give that red rose?"
No, I have to correct myself. Being the only converted at this school isn't the most uncomfortable thing. That tall stupid man, whose name is Jinguji Ren, over there near that small garden is the worst thing ever. I never knew someone so annoying, so full of themselves, so futile, so womanizing, so… so… so everything like him. Of course if I could choose, I would never have known someone like him. However as he is, unfortunately, my roommate then I was forced to know him. I just can't understand how someone older than me, though only by a mere 10 months, can be such an idiot. Starting with the fact that he loved women too much, which is inappropriate because we were born to love one only person, and ending with his gorgeous figure that makes him look like a prince, which I don't think is true since I'm only remembering a few words from someone else, Jinguji Ren is a good for nothing. I mean who wants to be friends with a futile person who has only looks and dumbness? No one I think, at least I don't. Maybe it's because he is a pure vampire, we converted ones must be more real I suppose.
"Ooh my red rose…" Oh I almost forgot, of course his incredibly ridiculous lines are the best thing I ever heard on earth's face. "Hum that's a good question. I guess none of you deserve this rose." He said with his cocky smirk on his mouth, and as usual all those girls cried out at his words. However that wasn't the amazing great line he would use to seduce them. I already knew that he would add something else, and I was right.
"This red rose isn't worth of your beauty, my princesses." He is so predictable, yet all those stupid girls believe his words. They are true, those girls are beautiful but a red rose has such deep meaning and he dares to play around with it. I hope that one day the person he will really love won't accept his flowers or words. He doesn't deserve it.
"Tsk, what a jerk." I muttered to myself looking at the stupid scene in front of my eyes. However suddenly our eyes met, and as usual he had to bother me with his amazing words; that displease me.
"Oh, look who's here? Are you enjoying your lunch time alone, Hijirikawa?" He asked me approaching the place where I calmly sat. If I was so fine a few minutes ago, why did he have to appear and spoil my only good time at this place?
"If you already know what I am doing, please leave because I don't want to throw up all my lunch looking at your horrible figure." I said without much thinking. That was the only thing that came up to my mind after all. And I don't regret having said it. He remained quiet for long seconds, our blue eyes intensely looking at each others, so intensely that made me feel strangely uncomfortable and want to break eye contact, yet it wasn't needed because his cocky smirk appeared one more time in his mouth and his voice sounded in my ears.
"Cold and not cute at all as usual. You should be more like me, Hijirikawa, that way girls will like you."
"I don't need them to like me, I only need the person I will love in the future to like me." I said closing my eyes to not look at this jerk's surprised face. It's completely visible that he didn't understand my words. I'm sure that he never loved someone before. Well, me neither, but of course I know what love is and this jerk doesn't.
"Your words are really touching, but they're not true. Real life doesn't work like that, even if you give all your heart to someone doesn't mean that that someone will give you their heart as well. You're just living a fairy tale Hijirikawa, I advise you to rethink your life and change your personality." He said looking at me seriously and with some… sadness? I felt a small shiver across my body and a pressure in my stomach with his gaze. I really don't know why he changed expressions so suddenly, yet somehow inside my head I know that he is right. I know that human beings are known for betraying each others' over and over again. But I want to believe in my soulmate… In a way, even though I can't understand why, I also want him to believe in his soulmate. I must be crazy for thinking this, tsk.
"Let's go princesses, he can't understand the happiness of life so he doesn't deserve my attention." That was his last sentence, because after saying it he put both his arms around two of 'his' girls' waists and that stupid cocky smirk of his appeared again on his face, driving all the girls crazy.
"Tsk, thinking that for a few seconds I was a little, really little bit worried for him makes me feel sick." Thinking that, I continued enjoying the rest of my lunch time until the bell rang.
"Okay boys and girls, the last thing I have to say before the class ends is, for the next class in two days I want you to do a project together with your roommate about the first emperor of Rome." Tomoyo-sensei said and I felt my whole world stop. Why…? Why dear God? Why do we have to share our bedrooms only with classmates? Why can't we choose the person we want to work with? I don't think I deserve this. No, I'm sure that I don't deserve this! Yet this is happening to me. Life is so unfair. However if I already thought that co-working with Jinguji would be terrible, Tomoyo-sensei's next question made it even more clear. Life is unbearably unfair in fact.
"Just in case, is there anyone who doesn't know who the first emperor of Rome was?" After sensei's question, that asshole Jinguji, always full of himself, with his princely air, had to speak.
"Sensei what kind of question is that? Of course we know who the man was."
"Ah really? Then Jinguji-kun," Sensei pushed her glasses up on her nose and then continued, "tell us who was the first emperor of Rome."
"Sure, the first emperor of Rome was Socrates right?" He said with his stupid, unnecessary cocky smile.
"Great Masato, today and tomorrow you will have an extraordinary time. Besides your work will be the best ever." I couldn't help but think that. I already knew that he was futile and dumb, but I really never thought that he could be so dense and uncultured. Of course all the rage boiling inside my body didn't let me remain silent.
"I really don't know how someone like you could reach such a high level in his life." That was my answer before so much stupidity. I even grinned, something that usually didn't happen, ever.
He just stared at me annoyed, I could read it in those light blue eyes of his, and then he said, "Says the one who's alive only because of someone like me." Although we didn't know each other that much, I'm sure that he knows more about me than I thought. I mean he knows that what he just finished saying is hurting me. He knows how I feel about all this shitty impure vampire life. Or then maybe all converted vampires think the same way as me, which I doubt because Ringo-sensei already told me that usually impure vampires only want power and a long life. Nonsense.
I just looked away and said nervously, letting him perceive how I really felt, "At least I'm intelligent."
"Okay it's enough already with this fight. Jinguji-kun you're wrong, too wrong to be more precise. The first emperor of Rome was Caesar Augustus, Socrates was a Greek philosopher. Anyway, as I said the day after tomorrow I want all projects on my desk understood? Then you can go." After saying that, the bell rang and all the students left that classroom. I headed to my bedroom, and that stupid womanizer went to take a walk with all his fans. Tsk, who cares what he does, I will just go to MY room and do MY work alone. He would only be a nuisance anyway.
I really thought that I would be here peacefully doing my and Jinguji's work alone, I really would prefer it in that way. Yet this stupid annoying blond had to come here and disturb me.
"What are you doing Hijirikawa?" He asked me roughly, looking at the seven pages I had already written.
"Isn't it obvious enough? I'm working on our project." I replied without looking at him; I simply continued writing. He then grabbed my arm suddenly, startling me. My eyes opened wide looking at him with confusion written all over my face. I wasn't expecting this reaction from him, and honestly I couldn't understand it.
"If it's our project then why the hell are you doing this alone?" He asked me with those light blue eyes looking intensely at my dark blue orbs. His eyes are truly beautiful and intense. I can feel my conscience getting absorbed by them. I don't know why am I thinking and feeling this right now, I should be answering him.
"I-I'm doing this alone because it's more than obvious that you aren't a great help Jinguji. Anyway, this is good for you because now you can go around with all your fans." I finally said, and then I felt my arm break free from his rough grasp. I heard him deeply sigh, and then I felt him sit beside me on the small table of our room.
"Who the hell do you think I am?" He muttered softly to disguise is tone of sadness, though I could perceive it very well. However I didn't speak because I felt he didn't want me to speak. I really don't know how I can sense all these emotions from him. I just know that I can feel them as if they were mine, inside my body. It's truly strange for me to feel this, it was as if I could absorb all his feelings and they automatically travelled all over my being; touching me deep down and making me feel strangely worried for him. This is just incomprehensible nonsense.
"Anyway just to clear things up between us, I did know who the hell the emperor of Rome was, but I made a bet with a friend and lose so I had to say that. Of course he never thought it would turn out like that. Just forget it, let's get this done because I don't want to lose all my precious time working. I searched in the internet a few things about Augustus, you only researched in books right?" He asked me however I couldn't help but think about how stupid I had been inside our classroom today. Because of Jinguji and his fucking bet I humiliated myself even more. If I was already hated by everyone because of not being a pure vampire, then now I'm even more hated because they will think about me as someone arrogant and full of myself. Why does this have to happen with me? Whenever Jinguji is involved, nothing good happens to me. He must be the bad luck god. At least mine.
"Y-Yes of course, books are better than internet." I said still shocked with the previous explanation.
"And you're totally wrong Hijirikawa. Even if books are great for research, internet is also great because there is a lot of information that doesn't exist in books." He explained me one more time one of his theories.
"That can't be true Jinguji, books have all the information. I think internet is just a distraction. Now if you want to let's start working, if not then you can go away." I said and he didn't like my harsh tone at all because he put the papers he brought with all the information on the table and said, "Look Hijirikawa," He began slowly yet seriously causing a chill through my body. He then brought his face to mine and continued with his scaring tone of voice, "you really need to change your fucking personality 'cause you're annoying as hell. No one supports you the way you are, and I'm already done with your moody arrogant time."
My eyes grew wider and I felt a twinge in my chest. His words were hurting me because they were true. No one likes me, no one wants to become friends with me, no one cares for me… No one knows if I exist or not. It hurts knowing that. It hurts feeling that. It hurts being alone.
"I-I don't need anyone I already told you." I said stuttering, letting him know how insecure I was.
"Bullshit!" He exclaimed surprising me. However I didn't want him to know how I really feel, so I just tried to change the subject.
"S-Shut up let's do work, didn't you say you didn't want to lose all your time doing this? Well you are losing it now." I said, yet something suddenly happened, and that changed me. It was a slight change yet it was enough to made feel and see things in a very different way.
After my words he just sighed and grabbed all the papers he brought again. However a few papers fell on the floor, and of course as the good and right person I am I had to catch those papers. Yet I wasn't expecting that he would also try to catch them, so our hands touched each other once we reached the papers. Our eyes met and something clicked inside of me. This was the first time I felt his skin. It was the first time I felt how warm he can be. It was the first time I felt how gentle his touch can be. Yet it was also the first time I heard his voice inside my head as if it was mine.
"W-What the fuck was this just now? I already have my gifted powers so what the hell was that?" He thought, his piercing light blue eyes always looking at mine and I felt from him a whirlwind of feelings. He also felt that click inside of him because I could read it in his confused expression, and his thoughts were the proof.
"Do I have visions now? From the past or the future? But why if I… Shit Ren stop thinking, this was nothing." With his last thought he grasped all the papers alone and roughly and said "Let's do this quickly, I remembered I have something to do." His tone of voice was cold just like his attitude from that moment on. After that incident he didn't look at me anymore, not even when we had to talk about our work. However I couldn't stop looking at him once in a while. And his thoughts kept running over and over again in my mind. He was so confused, so frustrated, so annoyed that I couldn't help but feel worried about him; now much more than before. What was this? What was happening with us?
I wonder Masanya hehehe
Hope you're curious to know the rest :3
