Crystal walked over to her door and swung it open when she saw April standing there.
"Merde! What the heck is wrong with you April? Trying to give me a heart attack," Crystal asked putting her hand over her heart and breathing deeply trying to compose herself before she was scared the heck out of her.
April smiled, "Sorry! I didn't know I was that scary to people," she said proudly.
"Uh-huh…sure you are," Crystal said while walking out and locking her door. "Do you always scare everyone like this, or is it just your friends you scare?"
April put a her "thinking" look on tapping her chin in the process, "hmm," April shrugged, "No, Just you." Crystal put her hands on her hips and shook her head and sighed before walking downstairs. "So are you excited for class," April asked while they headed to there class, "You're going to love Professor Vlad, but then again you already talked to him."
Crystal nodded, "yeah I can't wait," Crystal stopped and looked at April, "April?"
April stopped right after Crystal and looked at her with concern, "yeah, what is it?"
"Never mind…" Crystal said not even convincing herself saying that.
April put her hands on Crystal arms. Crystal felt uncomfortable with this, good thing that April could tell and let go of her, "sorry…"
"It's fine. It's ju—it's just…why is Katrina upset with you? You guys seem to have a history."
"Ah yesss," April said, putting her hands in her pocket, "We were friends when we first came here and we got along great, but…hmm," April looked up trying to think about it.
"What is it?"
April shrugged, "I can't really remember what we were mad about…I guess you can say we drifted. She became popular and I stayed, well, you know right?"
Crystal nodded, "and she…" wanting to hear more of this.
"—and she saw that I was…as she said, 'beneath her'," she said to me. I thought she was PMS-ing on this, but after a week she got more annoying, stuck up, to me…you know, what every girl acts when she's popular and thinks she's too good to be with anyone. It didn't bother me…until she brought up my parents and how I was mistake to be here. I tried to ignore it, but whenever I forgot it…she would always be there reminding me," tears were forming to come into April's eyes, "that was the day that we became enemies and we hated each other since then, which happened to be last year," April said whipping away her tears that bringing a little humor into it, "A lot of people here that knew her last year would call her "Hurricane Katrina," mostly because hurricanes will stop at nothing to get what she wants."
Crystal chuckled at Katrina's nickname, "I was wondering when you were going to say that." April stopped and looked at her peculiar, "Well if you heard that in American, in New Orleans, there was a hurricane named, "Hurricane Katrina," and after I saw yesterday…kind of gave me the impression that she was nicknamed by that. I don't know don't ask me."
"I actually heard of that. Very terrible to hear, some of the girls that came here in 2005 did a little donation to them."
They kept on walking talking about the hurricane in New Orleans and before they new it they were standing in front of the door that lead to class.
"Well here we go," Crystal said slightly nervous.
"Yeah…let's go," April said with such positive attitude.
When they walked in they saw all of the girls up front in the class closet to the podium, where the teacher would be talking, and all of the guys in the back messing around. Crystal looked over to April who apparently found themselves seat in the middle of the class. April sat behind Crystal and Crystal was in front of April. April leaned forward to Crystal. Crystal was scanning all of the girls who where up in class fixing their hair.
"What is this, a prom," Crystal asked whispering into April's ear.
"Yeah I forgot to tell you…you might feel a little bit awkward with these girls," April said with a little bit in amusement at how Crystal's face was feeling uncomfortable, "they are a little bit…head over heals with the Professor Vlad. So don't to be surprised if one of these girls asks some stupid question that is towards him."
Crystal chuckled, "wow. No wonder Katrina wanted to have my room. My room is right across from his, with a perfect view of his dorm. I can't believe that these girls are fawning over him."
"It was like this last year well. Although, I think it has been more hectic than last year."
"Why do you say that?"
"Well, a few weeks past later on the first year and someone tried hitting on him and ended up getting expelled from here."
"Oh my gosh," Crystal yelled, drawing attention to herself accidentally. Crystal sunk into her chair from embarrassment and whispered "seriously?"
April chuckled and nodded, "yep. I'm surprised you're not smitten by him, most of the girls here are."
"Well, one, I don't think it's appropriate that there is a teacher/student relationship going on. Two, he is way older than me I believe," 'Oh you have no idea,' April thought, "Three, I'm not in date mode not since…"
April could see something in her eyes, but couldn't put a finger on it, but knew she shouldn't press forward it. "It's alright you don't have to finish your sentence."
"Thanks," Crystal smiled.
The doors swung open entering Professor Vlad. Smiling to his class and scanning for someone. When he saw them his smile widen pleased to see that person (a/n: which I think you guys/gals know who it is).
Crystal leaned back and whispered to April, "Does he always make an entrance like that?"
"Yeah, force of habit."
"Ahh…"
"Class, morning," Professor Vlad began, "I am terribly sorry for being late. I got hold up with some business."
The front of the class sighed dreamingly and said in a union, "that's okay Professor. I forgive you."
Crystal looked back to April with a dumbfounding look on her face giving her a what-the-heck" look, 'I wonder if we could sit in the back tomorrow,' Crystal wondered. "I know…hope it won't bother you for today. Next time we'll sit a little bit farther back," April answered to Crystal's unasked question.
"How did you—never mind," Crystal said looking back upfront. Watching his teacher talk and gave his lectures while taking notes.
"Now students, let's do a pop quiz," the class groaned not wanting to take any part of it. Because for one, no one really paid attention, except April and Crystal, the girls were daydreaming about their professor and the boys were sleeping or just in their own little world, "now, now it'll be fun. Won't it girls," the professor asked while eyeing the front row of girls that were sinking into their chairs and wanting so badly to be invisible, ashamed at not even paying the slightest attention to the lecture.
"Yeah sure…" the girls mumbled. Crystal pressed her lips in a straight line to keep herself from laughing at how the girls were acting.
"If you," Professor Vlad continued, "fail to answer the question wrong you are out. Let the game begin." Slowly the people in the game got out from answering the question wrong. Each question becoming harder and harder that was coming out of Professor Vlad's mouth. At the end of the pop quiz it was April and Crystal (a/n: boy, what a shocker!!) the only girls still in the game. "Alright, Crystal who was the ruler of Walachia and Transylvania from 1448 to 1476?"
April smirked, knowing that her master loved being oh so arrogant about his past, "Vlad that Impaler," Crystal replied.
When a few girls caught the word "Vlad" they look up to their professor and was wondering if he was some how related to him. Sure, they all heard of the famous villain Dracula, but it never occurred that he had the same name as this ruler. Finally, one of the woman raised their hand up and her professor nodded causing her to blush, "Um, Professor…are you related to him," this question got everyone to ask as well waiting for their professor to answer, everyone that is except April, whom just happened to be smirking.
Their professor was silent and was leaning on his desk while having his arms crossed and thinking about what to say before saying it, "a distant descendant of his," their professor said, not really wanting to answer that question at all, but did anyways just to get them of his back.
"Ah," the class said, except Crystal and April and just rolled her eyes.
Professor Vlad looked at his watch and saw it was time to end, "Well, students it is time to end for today," the students began to gather their things and leave, "oh, and your assignment is to give me 5 page or more essay of a war from the past that is famous," Professor looked over at Katrina and was looking right back at him, "and please make sure that it is different from the rest," Katrina smiled and left the room.
Crystal was at the door and opened it and realized that April wasn't following suite, "April are you coming," Crystal asked still having the door opened.
"I'll be right there Crystal. I'll meet you at your dorm. I have to ask Professor Vlad a question on the essay."
Crystal shrugged, "alright see you later," Crystal departed and headed to her dorm, leaving April and her History teacher behind.
April looked at her master, shaking her head before speaking, "You just love putting your past life in the spotlight don't you, Master?"
"Now why would you say that?"
"I think you already know my answer for that question, Master."
"Indeed?"
"Indeed."
"So how was Miss Sanetia today when you picked her up?"
"Good. I was surprised that she is not fawning over you like the rest of the girls are."
"Aye, it amazes me too. Do you know why?"
"Well, she says that one, way older than her. Two, doesn't want to cause a scene, which I think is smart for the little girl. And three…well she faded off on that part," April looked at the door where Crystal was standing there a couple minutes ago.
"April," April turned back to her master, "have you notice anything about her behavior, when it involves physical contact with someone," Vlad said getting strait to the point.
"Yeah, but I bet it's nothing, probably just a nervous or something."
"No…no, I didn't get that vibe from her."
"'That vibe'?"
"You know what I mean," there was a silent pause before he continued, "she seems like she's hiding something."
"Master, we all hide something from everyone, also known as 'secrets.'"
"Don't get all stuck-up on me now, April. Just keep a close eye on her."
"And what do you think I'm doing now?"
The professor glared at her daring her to continue with this attitude of hers, "April, I think you've been spending too much time with 'Hurricane Katrina,'" April's mouth was open shock that he heard about her nickname, "don't give me that look I know what other girls say about her…and apparently you came up with this name. I must say it fits her aurora perfectly," Vlad stood up and walked to the door and opened it for April to pass him.
"Anything else sire," April asked before she headed to Crystal's dorm.
"No, but for you, be more April when I talk to you again," Vlad walked off fading into the crowd of people getting out of class as well.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo+++++++++OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Crystal sat in her room and decided to work on her essay on her new computer her parents bought her as a going-to-college present. By the time she heard a knock on the door she had written a seven page essay. Crystal opened the door and saw April standing right outside the door smiling mischievously.
"Hey did you finish your essay," April asked.
"Yes. Did you as well?"
"Yep," April said waiting a little bit before talking, "since we're both done, do you want to go out and hangout?"
"Ummm…sure."
"Alright fine, but let's go," before Crystal could say another word, April grabbed Crystal's arm and off they went. They took Crystal's car and got into. "So where are we going," Crystal asked as she turned on the engine.
"We can go to the famous club that all of the college people go, 'The Wave.' Have you heard of it," April asked. Crystal shook her head "no," "Well it's really fun. I'll tell you were how to get there," and that's what they did 10 minutes later they arrived at The Wave. They both walked up the steps, with April being a little bit ahead. "Probably eager to party I bet, Crystal thought as she walked a little bit slowly.
When they got into the building April went strait to the dance floor leaving Crystal to find themselves a spot to sit. Crystal found a spot near the corner and saw April heading her way. How she found her was completely a mystery to her given take that so many people were here.
"Man I am exhausted," April sighed (not that she needed it though) and sat down.
"May I get you two drinks," a waitress asked.
Crystal and April looked at each other and then back at the waitress, "May I have water please," Crystal said.
"And for you miss," the waitress asked pointing at April.
"Apple Martini," Crystal looked at her friend, "What?"
"Now I know why you asked me to drive."
April smiled innocently, "Why didn't you get an alcohol beverage? It ain't that bad."
"Whoa! What happen to the girl that I know that never talked slang? 'Cause this is new to me."
"Well, once you get to know me more and more you'll find I am a 'wild child.'"
"Should I be worried?"
April leaned forward, "no, but if you see me start dancing on the table and barfing, then get me out before I make myself regret what I did."
"Alright, and I don't drink except at mass."
"Oooo, I see a little angel in this building. The rest of us…well I guess you can say we're 'fallen angels,'" Crystal chuckled at April's remark, but then pondered on why she made it seem sadder than it was.
A couple minutes later their drinks came and after April finished her drink she went back on the dance floor. Crystal just listening to the music some she knew others she just tapped her fingers on the table at the beat that was vibrating underneath her stool.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen as you all know—hopefully—that it is karaoke night. So whoever think they CAN sing show your face…and your audience will judge for you. If it's good you'll get a roar of cheers and if not well you'll know by the quietness in this building so don't show your face ever again. NOW, LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!!!" a man said that held a microphone to his lips. A roar of cheers came from the crowd of people. As time passed, six teens have already sang…two of them got the quietness while the rest where roared from the cheering. Crystal and April were watching all the contestants sing.
April looked at the human, who was interested in listening to the people who were singing, "Hey Crystal," that got Crystal's attention, "you should go on and sing. I am 100 positive that they'll love you. Plus, you got that amazing singing voice," Crystal's eyes widen, 'how do you know? You didn't hear me.' "I heard you this morning singing "SexyBack," this caused Crystal to blush, "and I think my Master loved your voice was as well." April said without realizing it was too late to take it back.
Crystal looked at April with a weird look on her face, "What did you say?"
"Nothing," April said looking up. Crystal looked at the stage while April got a quick glance to see if Crystal remembered what she said, which Crystal didn't. "Phew,"
April thought, "I might need to keep my mouth shut from now on."
Before Crystal could ask April what she said she was interrupted by seeing the guy that made the announcement earlier that night coming towards her, "I am sorry I couldn't help, but listen to what your friend was saying. Did she say that you should sing for us," Crystal automatically froze as the spotlight was on her now. If she was back in her town she would have been totally fine with this, since she new everyone there, but she has becoming doubting a lot of her decisions, "that's what you get for being raped," Crystal's heard a mocking voice in the back of her head. "Would you mind singing for us," the man asked snapping Crystal to reality.
"Umm-well, I, umm…" Crystal began to stutter in her talking.
"Oh I think are guest is a little bit scared. What do you say folks," the man was about to breathe and say something, "wait, what's your name dear," the man put the microphone near Crystal's lips.
"Crystal," Crystal said quietly into the microphone.
"Crystal, Crystal, Crystal," the man stared chanting her name and soon everyone started to chant, even April only a little bit loudly than the others.
"Alright," Crystal mumbled while rising up from her stool and breathed deeply to settle her nerves down. She could swear that her heart was pounding harder by the second in her chest.
"EXCELLENT," the man said. The crowd applauds were giving Crystal a little bit of confidence as she walked up the stage. Crystal was thinking of a song to sing, and one that happened to be one of her songs that she now oh so well. Crystal whispered to the DJ and asked for her song. Nobody knew what she was she was asking to play, but that's what Crystal thought. The DJ nodded his head and put the CD on. Crystal sat on a stool that one of the guys brought her to sit on to get comfortable. The whole building was quiet with a few sounds here and there from the crowd, waiting to hear her sing.
Crystal looked over to April and April smiled giving Crystal to return the favor. Crystal looked back at the crowd as the music began. She looked like a real angel underneath the bright light that was on her.
"La da da da"
Crystal began singing having the crowd sway a little bit.
"The smell of your skin lingers on me now"
Crystal wrapped herself with her arms
"You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself in center
Clarity, peace, serenity"
The crowd started cheering. Crystal kicked her stool and stood up and started walking around on the stage a little bit.
"I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I"
Crystal her hand on her chest.
"We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry"
Crystal made herself to cry to show the emotion in this and wiped it away.
"The path that I'm walking, I must go alone
I must take the baby steps till I'm full grown, full grown."
Crystal took baby steps and walked towards the crowd with her cordless microphone.
"Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I forseek the darker half if I stay"
"I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry"
"Like the little school mate in the school yard"
Crystal twirled her hair like a little school girl having a crush on someone.
"We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too"
Crystal hugged herself and swayed her body.
"We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself in center
Clarity, peace, serenity
Ahha"
"I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
"La da da da da da"
Crystal bowed and put the microphone back in its handle and walked off while a thunder cheers coming at her. Crystal looked flushed once she sat down with April.
"Well I think we have found our winner tonight. Crystal I sure hope you come back here and sing for us. What do you say folks lets give it up to Crystal," the man said and clapped loudly fallowing with the other people in the crowd.
April leaned into Crystal, "I told you," with a smile on her smile.
"Thanks," was all Crystal could say. A couple of minutes later April and Crystal just watched the other people dancing. Until Crystal spoke up again, "well, I think we should head back home. I'm starting to feel a little bit tired."
"Yeah, I agree. Plus the martini is getting to my head and it's hurting," April said while standing. She swayed till Crystal held her so that she could stand.
"Well it should hurt after that 5 martini drinks."
"Hey that was me fault," April slurred. Crystal had to hold her up until they got to the car and Crystal put April in the passenger's seat. Crystal remembered how they came here and in no time they reached their campus. April had passed out and had fallen asleep.
"Oh my gosh April, now how am I suppose to get you to your bedroom," Crystal asked herself. As Crystal got to the other side where April was and opened the door she felt a hand on her shoulder. Giving Crystal to think of the worst, Crystal quickly looked to see that it was Professor Vlad. Crystal breath got caught in her throat was unable to breathe.
"Shhh…sorry I didn't know that I was scary," Professor Vlad said. Crystal chuckled nervously before speaking and.
"Do you think you could help me pick April up," Crystal asked her Professor.
"Of course," Vlad nodded and picked April up. While Crystal just watched her Professor being gentle with April's sleeping form. Crystal thought she felt a green monster in her stomach as she watched, kind of wishing it was her that was unconscious, but dismissed as quickly as the thought came to her mind. Her Professor turned and smile at Crystal, Crystal returned it and walked next to him with April in his arms. They walked silently and got to April's room and put her on her bed. After that they both walked outside and just stared at each other.
Crystal looked up to her Professor and smiled a little, "thank you Professor Vlad."
"You welcome Crystal," Vlad said rolling Crystal's name off his tongue.
"I'll see you in class tomorrow Professor," before Professor Vlad could say a comment she went off. Leaving himself in the halls alone.
"Yes Crystal. See you later…sooner than you think," Professor Vlad said smirking and walked down the halls and in a quick flash he was gone and came into his own room and saw Crystal coming into her own room.
Vlad didn't bother turning on the lights seeing that he can see without it and just watch Crystal moving around getting ready for bed. Crystal walked to her brush and brushed her hair while grabbing her nightdress out of her drawer and walking into her bathroom to change. A few minutes later Crystal came out in a silk baby blue shirt and shorts brushing her hair on the way and set it on her table and turned off the lights and slept in slumber. Not having any idea that someone was watching her.
