Regular POV
Lucine practically strutted down the hallways on her way to her next class, winking at every guy that met her eyes and giving each girl the "up down" as she walked.
Lucine!Shy cried on the inside, Please, this is so embarrassing!
Shut up, this is what you were thinking about doing once, right? So, I did it instead. It's still you.
"That's that Shyann girl, right?"
"She changed...!"
"She's hot!"
"Her eyes look familiar..."
"I could have sworn the other was some kind of gray, right? Am I right..?"
"You're right..!"
"Why's she looking at me like that?"
Lucine smirked as a path was cleared for her to walk, even more teens staring and watching her every move.
Seriously, human, you'll gain popularity this way.
But I hate being the center of attention! I'm already.. popular enough, every one knows me as the 'meal that got away' from a few days ago, Luc-
Lucine accidentally bumped into someone on her way down the hallway and grimaced as she stood up straight.
Please, say you're sor-
"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU THE ONLY PERSON IN MY WAY, YOU-"
Lucine's eyes widened when she realized it was Leigh and sweat dropped.
Leigh turned around to face her, "Shy? Is that you? You transformed?" he whispered.
Damn, he's gonna have to kiss me again! I have to get away-
She spun on her heel to run the other direction, but Leigh grabbed her hand and pulled her down the hallway and stopped in the middle of a staircase where it was private.
"Shy, you were supposed to find me if something like this happened!"
Lucine took her hand back and looked away, scowling.
"I don't think we discussed that."
Lucine!
"What, were you embarrassed, or something? Trying to avoid me?" Leigh suddenly backed her up against the wall, resting his hand on the wall next to her head and smirking.
Lucine's eyes widened and her cheeks flushed a pretty scarlet.
"Don't be so full of yourself to think I'd be embarrassed just because I have to kiss you. It's just a stupid kiss."
Leigh smiled, "Then you kiss me instead."
Lucine bit her lip and looked away, embarrassed.
Then she sighed and finally gave in, "I can't, okay?! Damn.."
"Oh, really? I thought it was just a stupid kiss." Leigh put a hand on her cheek to make her face him and looked at her seriously.
"Shy, you have to come and get me if something like this happens. It's dangerous if you're in this form for too long, remember? You could end up destroying the whole school with your short temper."
"Quit calling me Shy! I want to be called Lucine instead of this other form."
Leigh sighed, "Lucine it is, then."
He closed his eyes and quickly kissed her.
In another bright flash, Shy had returned to her normal self, but her entire face was red and she covered it with her hands.
"I'm so embarrassed... I can't believe I did that!"
"It's alright, you should hurry to class and try and forget about what happened."
Shy waved to him, still a little embarrassed and took off down the hallway that led to her classroom.
Hidden in a corner was Lysander, who had heard most of Leigh and Shy's conversation and was interested in whatever was going on, but almost lost it when Shy unknowingly passed by him.
Her scent had filled his nose and was much stronger than earlier to him.
I can't help myself. I need this girl's blood.
Later...
Shy looked over at Lysander to ask him a question and he gave her another one of his friendly smiles, but his presence seemed a little weird to her now, as if his aura had somehow darkened this morning.
When she turned to look out the window, Lucine's voice rang through her head.
Something seems a little off with this Lysander guy. Does he have that blood lust, too?
No, It couldn't be that, Lucine.
Whatever. Just be cautious around him.
Okay.
Shy sighed and looked over at Castiel. Staring out the window as usual. She wondered what he usually thought about when he did.
After class, Shy gathered her things and was stopped by Lysander.
"Hey, Shyann. Um, well, you see, Castiel and I are performing tonight with our band at school. It'd be really cool if you would come."
Shy was never really invited to something like this before, and she became excited.
I've made a friend in class! I'm so happy!
"Thank you, Lysander! I'll be there! What time?"
Lysander noticed the happy expression on her face and felt a little guilty that he was leading her into what he had planned as easy as he thought.
I'm going to regret this, he thought over and over.
No you won't.
Lysander was confused for a second before he realized that it was him that had just thought that. Pretty soon, he was barely doubting his plan any more. In fact, he was only thinking about her scent and how good her blood would taste.
He suddenly leaned over, backing her up against her desk and tilted her chin up so she would look at him. Shy noticed his smile wasn't as friendly and that his eyes had somehow darkened.
"So, you're going to be there. It's at 7. Meet me in my dressing room after wards. Dress in something cute, alright?"
Shy flushed and stared off into space, dumbfounded as Lysander pulled away and left her in the classroom, alone.
W-wow.. Lysander's really friendly...
IDIOT!
Shy snapped out of it when Lucine suddenly yelled at her.
I hope you don't think you're going! You must be stupid!
B- but why not?! It's just him and his band!
Did you SEE the look in his eyes! He's out to get you! He's got the... BLOODLUST.
Shy felt like Lucine was being silly and rolled her eyes, then gathered her things and left, excited.
In the halls, every one was buzzing about Lysander's performance and how every one was going.
Rosalya sprinted down the hallways to hug Shy tightly.
"How was class?! I was so worried about you, you know, cause, you were in a class of vampires, and, you didn't text me or anything, even though I sent you like, I don't know, 34 texts to see if you were alright, and you didn't reply, so I was like, nooooo~!"
GOD, does this girl EVER shut up?! She saw me 2 freaking hours ago!
She's just worried, Lucine, that's all.
"Come on, let's go see Leigh~!" Rosalya grabbed Shy's hand and pulled her down the hallway.
Shy took this time to tell Rosalya about her invitation.
Rosalya turned around and looked at Shy in shock.
"One of the Blood Reign members invited you PERSONALLY to one of their performances?!"
Shy nodded, "I'm so happy! No one's ever actually invited me to a concert before ~ especially when I'd only known that person for 8 hours, I think this will be a great year of friends for m-"
"OH, NO FAIR! NO FAIR! NO FAIR! NO FAIR! A Blood Reign band member only invites you when they've taken an interest in you, the rest of us have to pay 20 bucks to get in!"
You see?! This dude is up to something!
I'm sure he's just being nice, since it's my second day here, Lucine.
"Hello, Shy. Glad to see you're still normal."
Shy spun around to see Leigh and smiled brightly at him.
"Hi, Leigh!"
Rosalya crossed her arms over her chest, "One of the Blood Reign members invited her to their performance. Personally!"
Leigh seemed surprised, "That's amazing, on your 2nd day?"
"I'm so happy, I think Lysander and I will be great friends."
Leigh stopped smiling and looked at Shy seriously.
"Lysander? Lysander was the one who invited you?"
Shy's smile faded a little, "Is something wrong?"
Leigh shook his head, "No, it's nothing, it just caught me by surprise, is all."
When Shy wasn't looking, he and Rosalya exchanged serious looks.
When Shy looked back at Rosalya to smile, Rosalya put on her usual big grin and grabbed Shy's hand so they could go home.
Leigh followed them in deep thought.
6:45..
Shy had picked out a long black shirt and a mini blue jean skirt to wear under it and black thigh high socks with ballet flats. She stuck a black bunny hair clip in her hair, pulling her bangs out of her eyes and smiled at herself in the mirror.
You're actually going?
Yes, I don't know what you're so worried about. It's a concert, Lucine.
"Shy, if you want a ride, you better hurry up!" her mom called from downstairs.
Shy grabbed her purse and was about to walk out side her room door when her cell phone rang.
It was Leigh.
Oh, yeah, we exchanged phone numbers yesterday.
"Hello? Shy, it's me, Leigh."
"Hi, Leigh. Is something wrong?"
"Well.. this is going to sound crazy, but I was wondering if you were okay."
"I'm fine..? Why?"
"It's hard to explain, just dont-"
"SHY! HURRY UP!"
"Ah, that's my mother, I need to go..."
"Um, good bye. I might see you at the concert."
"Bye, Leigh."
Later...
Lysander tapped his foot impatiently as his friend put dark eye liner under his eyes.
Castiel walked in the dressing room with his guitar in one hand and coffee in the other.
"Waiting for someone to show up, or something?" Castiel looked at him through the mirror.
Lysander nodded, "Yeah, why?"
"You've never been so anxious to meet someone. Is it a girl?"
Lysander sighed, "Of course it is... Shouldn't you be getting ready?"
Castiel smirked before walking off.
Where is she? I did say 7, right? I'm about to perform!
After his make up was done, Lysander stared at himself in the mirror.
Yes. Once she hears my song, I'll get exactly what I want.
