""Shut up, I've endured it all this while while thinking that you'd get the hint but you just won't shut up! Did you get laid or something"
"Sincere Apologies Queen Everlette." he gave me a mock bow.
"Ugh"
"How come you're so tetchy?"
"You're the one who's making me tetchy."
"Okie dokie , my Queen, I'll leave you alone from now on." he made another annoying bow.

The day went on as normal, I slept through most of the lectures. Even those few hours couldn't satiate my body's need for sleep.
I've been sleeping for far less the appropriate hours my body needs. I guess it's finally catching up to me.
"Ever, Ever"
I turned to check on the one calling me.
I saw a very enthusiastic Aiden waving at me from the foot of the the staircase.
It was obvious that the position he was in was very uncomfortable.
Many students were going in and out of lecture halls and there were a lot of people going up and down the stairs.
He'd been pushed to the stairwell in a most uncomfortable position, like sardines in a tin. With the exception of yesterday, I've always known Aiden to be an all sunshine and blue skies kind of person.
But today, it seems a rainbow with a pot of gold beneath in addition to a sea of flowers and butterflies has been added to his mood.
No sane person would like to be pressed against that cold and rusty stairwell. His behavior was too much for comfort.
I pulled him out of his position as I got off the stairs.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Have you seen what I was saying? Hope he's not on drugs.
"Are you on drugs or something?"
"No, why would you ask me that?" He even asked the question with a bright smile still on his face.Who would smile like that when being suspected of such a thing?
" Then why are you so happy today?" I asked as he took my backpack as usual.
"Aren't I always?"he said with yet another fat smile. He's starting to creep me out.
"Can you smell that?" he asked out of the blue.
"Smell what? Just say you're hungry." He's such a gourmand.
" I'm hungry but that's not the case, I can scent the sweetest smell of vanilla and chocolate cookies. It's most heavenly" He sighed out loud, like someone who's finally gotten water after being deprived of it for many days.
"Are you sure you're not just yearning for chocolate cookies and vanilla because I've not allowed you take in sweets for a while now?"
"Forget it, you won't understand " he groaned.
I was about to respond when the air around him suddenly changed. He stood with his eyes glazed over and red. He stared at group of girls who were coming towards us from the intersecting hallway.
I tried calling him but he wasn't paying attention. It was as if he was there but wasn't.
I turned to look at the girls once again and finally understood what he was trying to say before.
But none of the girls was a vampire, one seemed like a halfling but the others were all human. Even for the halfling I couldn't be sure whether she knew of her nature or not.
I couldn't let Aiden be exposed, mate or no mate his welfare came first.
I clenched my hand and gave him a heavy knock on his shoulder blade, breaking him from his trance.
"Mate--" he tried to explain me as soon as he turned.
"I know but you have to control yourself first, your eyes are red." I explained.
"Oh thanks." I nodded.
He turned back to look at the girls again before realizing the girl wasn't of his kind.
"Oh , she's a halfling" he whispered in dismay.
"What's with the sudden dullness? Go and get your girl." I urged.
"She's not a fully-fledged vampire Ever"
"So what? You've waited for so long. Are you saying that you're going to let her go because she's not a vampire? At least she's half"
"It will be very difficult"
"When did you become a wimp?"
I took my backpack off his shoulders and pushed him towards the girls.
Aiden's P.O.V
Sh*t, I alnost fell. I turned to give Ever a hard glare but she only responded with a chuckle and thumbs up, then sashayed away. Way to make a first impression.
"Are you okay?" I heard the most angelic voice as the scent of chocolate cookies and vanilla invaded my nostrils.
I turned to see the most beautiful girl ever.
She had a head of beautiful black dreads, dyed blue at the ends. Her brown eyes were very light, watery looking and big. A cute button nose and a small pouty lip. Her skin looked smooth and soft, I yearned to touch it.
She had on a simple checkered shirt and crazy jean shorts but she still looked sensational. She was about 5.8 ft tall.
Lost in my thoughts,I didn't realize she'd beeen talking to me.
"Yeah, I'm okay." I scratched my neck in nervousness, her voice was too enchanting. It'll take a while to get used to it.
"Your girlfriend has left, won't you go after her?" she said the girlfriend like she was being choked, making me gain a little more confidence. I guess I'm not the only one being affected. Wait, did she say,
"Girlfriend, which girlfriend? " I asked confused. Then it donned on me.
"Oh you mean Ever, she's my little sister."I explained. I wasn't lying , I do see Ever like the sister I never had.
"Oh okay" She heaved a quiet sigh. But with my heightened senses, I still heard. My confidence increased.
"I'm Aiden and you?" I stretched out my hand for her to shake.
"I'm Yolanda" she placed her palm in mine slowly. Suddenly, I felt the delicious sparks they've been talking about , course through my veins.
She quickly pulled away, I knew she felt it too.
"You're very beautiful" she blushed.
"Can I get your number, I would like to get to know you better."
"Er..yea-eah" he stuttered. Nice I like how it's going. I took my phone from my pocket and handed it out to her. She was busy checking me out and didn't see my outstretched hand.
"Ahem!"
"Oh sorry" she flushed red like a tomato. How adorable. I wanted to chuckle but held it in so as to not make her feel more embarrassed, although I wanted to see her flushed face.
With the way she looked, it seems like it was a foreign emotion to her. She had this bad ass aura all around her but it was no where close to Ever, that girl is the devil's incarnate and thats me saying as a vampire.
She took the phone and hurriedly typed her number. After confirming that it was correct, she pushed the phone into my hands and ran off.
I felt like I was on a sugar rush. I was super happy. I skipped all the way home. I know I seem sappy, but I really don't care right now.
