Chapter 2: Lovebirds.

The pink-haired girl let out a small sigh as she walked down the hallways of the school building. Class had just ended, and it was a rather exhausting first day for her.

Usually students in the Night Class are well-educated, so they already know most of the things that are written in their textbooks, however, this did not apply to Misaki. It wasn't that she didn't know any of it, it was just that she hardly knew some of it.

Before today, she was home-schooled by the maids at her manor. They tried to teach her everything required for someone her age, but as the information entered her head, everything else she was told was pushed out.

This is one of the reasons why she was sent to Cross Academy. Her mother heard that it was a very prestigious school, so she thought it would greatly benefit Misaki's education if she were to go there.

Distracted by her thoughts, the girl accidentally bumped into someone and knocked her and their books both to the ground. She scratched the back of her neck awkwardly as she knelt down to pick them up. "Haha, whoops. Sorry about tha-"

"Watch where you're going." The boy huffed, also kneeling down to pick up his books. He had short, perfectly tousled ebony-colored hair, and gorgeous cerulean eyes. He then stood up and walked past her.

Her brow twitched in annoyance as she then mumbled, "Could say the same to you, jerk."

"Tch. Whatever, midget." He scoffed, standing up and walking past the girl.

Misaki immediately shot up and threw one of her textbooks at the back of his head. "Asshole!"

He turned around and narrowed his eyes into a sharp glare. "Do you want to die?!"

The girl rose a brow as she tilted her head. "Is that supposed to be a threat? 'Cause I've heard better, moron."

At that moment, Nanami came up from behind Misaki. She looked at her two seemingly angry classmates, and blinked. "Did something happen?"

The boy pursed his lips together as he stormed down the hallway without another word said.

The blonde ran her fingers through her hair as she gazed over at the short girl beside of her. "I've never seen Arata look so pissed. Well, he always looks pissed off, but not that pissed off. What did you do?"

Misaki walked over to wear the boy was previously standing and picked up the book she had thrown. She glared in the direction he had went and grumbled. "So his name's Arata, huh?"

"Yeah, he's pretty cold towards everyone, so don't take it personally." The taller girl spoke, shrugging her shoulders.

"Too late for that. I hate him already..." Misaki mumbled, making her way out of the school building with Nanami by her side.

After lying restlessly in bed for several hours, Misaki finally got up and quietly left the room, not wanting to disturb the sleeping blonde whom she shared the dorm with.

"Maybe a short walk around the campus will ease my boredom." The girl thought, "Not like I can sleep anyways."

She stealthily made her way out of the dormitory and proceeded to walk along the school grounds. When she came across a small bridge, she stopped. She leaned against the railing and stared up at the night sky.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Spoke a familiar voice.

A small smile crept its way onto the girl's lips as she recognized the voice.

Takuma stood beside her as he rested his arms atop the railing. "I love to come out here at night and gaze up at the stars."

Misaki shrugged as she continued to look up at the sky. "I can't really see the stars... All I can see is the moon."

"What do you mean?" He asked, shifting his gaze towards the girl.

She sighed silently as she spoke. "My eyes don't adjust well to the darkness, believe it or not. I could hardly see to make my way over here. If it weren't for the moonlight, I'd probably be lost."

The blonde nodded as he then turned around. "We should go back to the dormitory if we don't want the displinary committee to find us." He then held his hand out to the girl. "You can hold my hand so that you won't get lost. That is, because you can't see well, of course."

A rose pink blush spread across the girl's face as she took the emerald-eyed vampire's hand and followed him in the direction of the dormitory.

Back at the dormitory, Misaki had a huge smile plastered to her face as she strolled towards her room.

"Takuma let me hold his hand~ Ah, does that mean he likes me? No, no. It was just an act of kindness, I'm sure." She was too blinded by her thoughts to realize that someone had opened their door, causing her to walk straight into it.

She hit the ground with a thud as she reached her hand up to rub her aching head. "Ouch..."

The ebony-haired boy whom had opened the door stared wide-eyed down at the girl. "You again?!"

Misaki furrowed her brows as she stood up and pointed at the vampire. "You did that on purpose, didn't you?!"

"Why the hell would I have done this on purpose?!" He huffed, narrowing his ocean blue eyes at her.

She folded her arms over her chest as she spoke. "I don't know! Maybe you're just an asshole!"

Arata ran his fingers through his wavy raven locks as he scoffed. "This girl, really."

"Quit talking about me like I'm not here!" She shouted, dropping her arms to her side.

He rose a brow as he spoke. "What are you? A child?"

"You're one to talk." The girl muttered, looking away.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked, taking a step forward.

Just then, a boy with moonbeam-colored hair and aqua eyes opened his door. "Could you lovebirds please keep it down? Some of us are trying to sleep."

"Lovebirds?" Misaki scoffed, "Like hell I'll ever fall for someone as stupid as him."

"Tch. Same here." The boy grunted.

The pink-haired girl ran her fingers through her hair as she started walking down the hallway. "It was almost pleasant running into you, Arata. But I've got to leave now, so don't wait up for me. Bye."

Arata's eyes widened as he shot his head in the direction the girl was walking. "How the hell do you know my name?!"

"Don't worry about it~" She cooed, no longer in eye sight.
