Chapter 3
The next went by like the day before, but Thursday afternoon was much different. I was listening to my music when the doors opened and across the yard I saw Oliver holding a kitty cat! I wanted to see the kitty so I jumped down the tree and walked towards him. But just as I was crossing the walk way a girl shoved me. Now the first thing running through my mind was that I have to land on my butt or back, because if I didn't my hands would probably start bleeding and that would be very bad! So just before I fell, I switched over and curled up like a ball. The landing was painful, but I could care less. And somehow my iPod fell outta my pocket and landed 3 feet away from my body. "You bitch! If my iPod is broken, I'm going to be your worst nightmare!" I snarled at her and she turns pale. I reached towards my Nanoie; yes that's what I have named it, and it was ok! In fact, it was stilling playing! "Yay! It's ok!" I said in my childish voice and cradled it. Then I felt someone pick me up from behind and I freaked out. You see, when someone touches me from behind I have to get away as fast as I can, no matter what. "Get away from me!" and elbowed the person in the stomach really hard. I ran over to Oliver and looked back to find out who it was I elbowed. It was Aidou… oh shittt… Most of the fan girls were making sure if he was ok, the others were talking about what just happen, most of the Night Class students looked unfazed, but some others were staring at me. I looked over at Oliver and the cat was gone but he was trying so hard to keep from laughing. "Just laugh, you asshole!" He fell to the ground having a slap-a-thon with the grass and now everybody was staring.
"I think we should run or we'll die," I hissed at him and nudge his ribs with my shoe. Oliver slowly got up but was still snickering. I could feel eyes burning into my back so I spin around and snapped at them, while twitching a bit, "What?! Haven't you ever seen a person laugh before?!" I grabbed a hold of Oliver's shoulder and ran way from the scene.
'The stars are very prettyful here at night,' I thought to myself. I got locked out of my dorm by my roommate, so I've been out here for 4 hours, it's around midnight. All I'm doing is staring up at the sky, thinking about life, and listening to my music. And just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard a yell below me. It was Zero. I rolled over my stomach looking like that Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland (to bad I don't have a tail) and grinned, "Ah Zero-kun what are you doing here?" "You're supposed to be in your dorm! Now go!" he snapped. "Did you know if someone was to walk by, they would probably think you're talking to a tree?" I giggled at him. "I don't care! Now stop changing the subject, I'm going to write you up!" "Go ahead! You don't scare me! You're not the boss of me anyways, if you want me to come down so bad, you better come and get me!" I replied in a sing song voice.
He started climbing the tree and just as he reached my branch, I sat up and stared at him, "Did you know you have beautiful eyes? But if you actually look into them, you will see sadness and despair," I turn my head to the side, "isn't that right Zero-kun?" A breeze went by us as to answer yes. I jumped up to the branch over us to break the awkwardness. "You hide your sadness behind that glare. But for what? Is it to keep people at a distance so they don't get too close to you? Are you afraid that you are going to hurt them physically and/or emotionally? I don't know your past but if you want someone to talk to, I'm always there. And who knows? I might know something that you know. But yet you don't think I know when I really do. That was confusing… gomen. Oh yeah and give me your hand!" I saw that his branch was bending in a bad way. He just gave me that deer stuck in the headlights look. "You dumbass! Give me your hand!" just as he lifted his hand the branch cracked. I grabbed a hold of his arm as his branch gave away, which was 12ft below us.
"I guess this is the perfect time to say "if I'm going down, I'm bringing you with me!" but I guess this isn't the time to crack a joke." I laughed. "Why did you-" "I didn't want you to get hurt, silly! Trust me, I could of just wait and watch you fall cuz I'm a sadist like that. But I didn't cuz I didn't wanna ruin the moment. Hey I'm going to let go of you now so…" I dropped him and he landed on his feet. When I jumped off and landed the same way it hurt like a bitch! "Motherfucker!" I fell on my back and looked up at him, "Zero! When did you get so tall?!" I started snorting like a moron! He ignored me (I don't like being ignored *sad face*) and said, "So why are you out here?" "Damn I thought you forgot! Well I'm out here because my roommate locked me out and the stars are beautiful tonight." I stated back in my regular voice. He walked off towards the dorms and I follow in suit.
"So was I right about your emotions?" "Don't want to talk about it," he looked straight into the darkness ahead of us. I decided to change the subject, "Don't you think nighttime is beautiful? The real me comes out at this time." I said while spinning in around circles with my eyes closed, but then I ran into something hard. I looked up to see Zero glaring down at me. "Hehe, gomen… Fine then don't say anything! God!" I flipped my hair to the side trying to hold in my laughter. "Drama queen…" he mumbled and just as I was going to object, we arrived in front of my door; which he kicked open. "Anger issues…" I mumbled as my roommate screams. "Nice Zero-kun, we're going to get yelled." "Stop calling me Zero-kun!" "Zero-chan" I burst out laughing. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" my roommate screamed at us. "NOTHING! Goodnight Zero-kun" I waved to him before shouting back at my roommate.
Last night was…loud. The girl dorm president even came to shut us up, but when she realize it was me she got all bitchy. She's an Aidou fan girl. So let's just say I'm public enemy #1 to all the fan girls!
When I woke up my phone was off and my roommate was gone. I looked at the clock on the wall and it said 7:55am. I freaked. Thank god I took a shower last night. I ran to get my uniform coat, skirt, and glasses; I left my Escape the Fate pj shirt on quickly put on my skinnies on the way to the bathroom. When I got out it said 8:05. I'm late. "Oh well screw it!" I hissed walking out of my room listening to my iPod, of course. I took my time walking to class and when I finally got there the teacher just ignored me.
"Where were you?!" Oliver asks as I sit down. "Fucking roommate turn off fucking phone," I mumbled. "Well you know that everybody is talking about you" he whispers. "I could care less," and right when I said that a book smacked my shoulder. Grrrr. A girl from below hit me. So I picked up the book and threw it back at her but she ducked and it hit the teacher instead. Oh shit. This was a set up. And before the teacher could start yelling at me I grabbed my stuff and left. While Oliver was laughing his ass off the whole time.
The Chairman dude was by the door with a not happy face gahhh! "The girls threw it first! IT WAS A SET UP!" "Cassie out of the 4 days this is the 9th time you've been here," he sighed walking towards his desk. "Because I love visiting you?!" I said with and open mouth smile. "Ok now before you start yelling I need to ask you something! Ok here it goes. Is the Night Class vampires?"
