I realised I forgot to finish changing the person from third to first in the first chapter! How embarrassing, and I'm always the one who rats on such things! Ah, I am ashamed. I have fixed it now. *hides in corner from embarrassment*

So now I'm stuck with an attractive girl who has been taught all her life that my kind is evil and she probably wants to kill me. I guess it could be worse. I wondered if William noticed my initial reaction to this new girl whom-I-definitely-didn't-actually-like. Who was his niece. He was grinning smugly at me. Oh yeah. He noticed all right. I decided to keep on the 'bad boy' facade. Maybe she wouldn't realise I was a demon. I sighed. Yeah, maybe she won't notice that the sky is blue and the grass is green either. She plunked her books down on her desk and scooted it right up next to mine, earning an annoyed glare from William.

"Great! Looks like we're going to get to hang out a lot, ne?"

"I suppose."

Why, oh WHY did she have to sound cute? Pull yourself together, Sebastian. She is your ENEMY. Your extraordinarily hot enem- BAD Sebastian. Stop thinking like that. Ug. But I swear, there was lust in her eyes, and how could I resist?

"So... Which class is this?"

"Wait... You didn't check your schedule? And your own uncle teaches this class! How can you not know?" I chuckled, my problems momentarily disappearing into the back of my head. The bad boy facade may be harder to keep than I thought.

"Oh, I don't bother with that trivial stuff," she replied, and then whispered into my ear so that the class could not hear, "I'm much more interested in the important things, like which classes have the cutest boys~! And I just hit the jackpot~!"

Did I melt? I think I melted. I somehow managed to keep my outer appearance calm. I had to pull myself together. She was a shinigami, a demon's enemy! If I wasn't sure before, I was now- even through her strong perfume, her scent was unmistakably that of death itself. Besides. Its just teenage hormones. She's pretty, that's IT!

"Well then," I smiled at her evenly, conveying nothing more than a trivial interest, "I suppose you'll have to stay close while I navigate you through the treacherous hallways. I hear more people die of starvation trying to find their classrooms than falling coconuts each year."

I was being sarcastic of course. The halls are a perfect grid and the school is small. You'd have more trouble fighting out of a paper bag than you would navigating these halls.

"Oh, saving me from losing myself in the maze of a school? You're too kind!" she practically squealed, although that is too volatile of a word. It was much more dignified than that. But... It worked on the same principle. It's really too bad that first attempt to dissuade her with heavy sarcasm didn't work. Things would be so much less complicated if it did!

We continued our whispered conversation for a few minutes when William SLAMMED! his book down on my desk.

"Excuse me, Mr. Michaelis and... Mrs. Sutcliff, but if you would like to continue this disruptive conversation, please do so AFTER class. If this happens again, you will both be put in detention!"

The only thing that held him back from sticking me in detention was the fact that others had gotten away with much worse and the students here love nothing more than tattling on the teachers' unfairness. Disaster averted. For now.

Sorry it's short, I've been pretty busy as of late. But I do have an outline for what happens next!
