"Can you pass me the bowl?" I ask Elora, pouring water in glass.
She passes me the bowl.
As far as I know vampires don't eat either. But she said her family is different from others. They don't survive on eating flesh and drinking blood. They eat like a normal human being. In severe cases, they drink blood of animals.
I'm baking a cake for her. She insisted of course. She loves cakes specially chocolate cakes. A lot. One thing I'm good at is baking cakes. So I hope she's gonna like it.
"Are you done pouring water on table?" She laughs.
Sh*t! I didn't notice.
Water falling down the bowl. I was so lost in thoughts. I find myself engaged in thoughts for few days now. I just need to stop over thinking. I clean the water on the table. I mix the flour, sugar and water in the bowl. She helps me with the eggs.
She place the cake on the oven. And set the timer to twenty minutes.
We head towards the living room. We take our seats for watching movies. Ava joined us too.
"What were you guys doing in the kitchen?" Ava asks.
Elora glances at her. "Edmund's making me a cake. Isn't he cute?"
That makes my stomach growls. But I'm happy to know that she thinks I'm cute.
Ava groans and roll her eyes.
She's jealous I can say.
Or maybe she finds all these cringy. Afterall her boyfriend dumped her recently. No wonder she would find all these little upsetting.
She'll be okay later on.
"I'll bring some drinks from the fridge. Hang on", she says, stepping out of the living room.
Before we could agree she left.
Awkward silence.
I haven't told her properly how I feel about her or like saying that I like her. Still there is this awkward weird feelings that are haunting me up.
I just don't know how to tell her.
She's sitting beside me. I can feel her cold body at the side of my right hand. I look at her. She seems to enjoy the movie.
I love her smile.
I wish to be the reason of her smile for the rest of my life.
Wait does vampire dies?
I think, no
That means...she's immortal.
Even if I die one day, I want to stay alive in her smile forever.
She glances up at me.
Eye contact! That's dangerous.
This is not good. I've been staring at her for a long time. Its so obvious for her to notice.
"I know I'm beautiful but you don't need to stare at me like that", she laughs.
I laugh too.
Silence.
I hear footsteps. Lucilky Ava came back with glasses and drinks quite quickly. We watch movies and enjoy our drinks.
I'm staring at the thick glass and wondering what kind of sound it would make if it were to smash against my head. I can't do anything properly. Hopefully I can do that at least. Last night after the movie I went to kitchen for checking the cake. It looked good. I took a bite from it and I felt like dying. I used salt instead of sugar. I couldn't let her take a bite from it of course. So I placed the bowl on the stove and burned it down.
I felt sad for the cake. Cruel act.
Ava and Elora came running towards the kitchen. They saw the burned cake and started laughing. That wasn't funny at all. Elora asked me how that happened. I couldn't tell her the actual reason so I made one up. I told her that I thought maybe the cake wasn't baked properly so I pit in on the stove to bake it up and burnt it.
She gave me a pity look.
Why can't I do anything properly?!
I've been waiting for half an hour now for Charlie. He was supoosed to be here by now. Today is our first class after this long vacation. I heard a new teacher joined our department. Everyone seems to be a fan of him. I wonder why.
"How long have you been waiting for me?", Charlie says, placing her hand on my shoulder.
"For a while", I smile. He stares at me and doesn't say anything. "Okay okay. For an hour actually".
"I'm sorry, bro. You know my girlfriend is sick. So I had to check on her before comimg here and I got so late".
"Yo it's okay. Don't worry. How's she? Still high fever?"
He looks sad. "Better from before". He takes a step forward. "Have you seen our new teacher?"
"No. Not yet. Everybody is talking about him. Is he that famous?"
"No. But now people are making him famous", he laughs.
We head towards the classroom. But the door is closed.
That's weird. We never had our class with closed door before.
Ah! New teacher. Maybe he doesn't know the rules yet.
Charlie knock at the door. Someone opened the door. He looks same age as us.
Is he the teacher? Seems so.
"Are you in this class?" He asks, pointing us.
We nod.
"Stand outside for 30 minutes. You're late. You can enter the class after 30 minutes". He turns around and push the door.
I push the door from my side. He glares at me and laughs.
I don't know what's here to laugh about. He is clearly a weirdo.
"You think you can beat me?" He arches his brow.
I'm pissed off right now. "Who's even competing here? Just let us in. Why should we even stand here even though we didn't do anything. You can't just do that".
"You're late for class. I come for class 5 minutes before. That reason isn't enough for the punishment?"
"We are not late. And according to the routine class starts at 8. So I don't think it matters whether you come 5 minutes before or after. There is still 3 minutes left for the class to start. Its 7:57 now. That means we still have time ". I show him my watch.
He doesn't look at mine. He takes out his phone and looks at the time.
He glances up at me and smile. "I'm Pattrick Deor. What's your name?"
Oh! So now he's going to complain about me? Cool. I don't even care about his useless complain.
"Edmund Aldrich", I frown.
"Oh! Edmund. You're the one. No wonder she chose you huh? Come in", he smiles.
I got shook by his sudden change in behaviour.
"What do you mean?" I ask, entering the class.
He smiles. Pointing us to take our sits, he starts his lesson.
