Opening the correct door, she relieved herself and washed her hands. Closing the door behind her, she found a boy sitting on the window. Adeline felt pity for the boy. He looked so lonely.
"Hey," she spoke in a light tone, not to frighten the boy as he was sitting in a dangerous place. "Can you get down from there?"
"Why? Am I scaring you? You're a human, anyway." He scoffed.
She felt insulted. How could he say that? "I–if I'm a human then you're pleasant."
"Wow, don't you know comebacks?" He scoffed.
"I do." She hiccupped and then giggled.
"Go away," the boy simply said, Turing away from her.
"No," she immediately said. She might have felt insulted if she was sober but at the moment she was drunk as a skunk. "Talk to me."
"You wanna talk?" The boy mocked her with a raised eyebrow. "Fine here it is. I'm a vampire." He confessed with a straight face.
". . . .But I'm a human. . " She looked confused instead of being scared.
"I know that," the boy deadpanned.
"So we can be friends?" She tried with an uncertain expression.
"What?!" The boy looked offended and she panicked. He cooled down and his face changed. His face became paler and the veins in her eyes turned redder. He hissed at her baring her fangs, hoping to scare her away. She wasn't going to remember any of it, anyway.
"Oh, I can do that too!" She showed him her teeth, baring them to him with an ugly expression on her face. "Grrrrrrrr!!"
"I hissed bitch, I didn't growl." He looked pissed.
"Oh.." she dimmed a bit. "Hisssss," she copied him again with her arms raised and eyes narrowed.
"So are we friends?" She tried again.
"No, we're enemies." He said. "Don't you know?"
"Know what?" She looked at him. Maybe, he had a secret to tell. Ohh, Gossip! Hot, whot gossip.
Yummy.
"Nothing. You should go down. Someone's calling you." He looked to the far end of the hallway and then back to her.
"Who is?" She whispered leaning in. Maybe that was the secret.
"Go down and see." He whispered as well, playing along with her.
"Okay," saying so, she continued to discreetly walk down the stairs. Then looked around and thought of who he could be talking about.
"Adeline!" A yell for her name made her jump. "There you are!" She saw Xavier coming towards her.
She ran.
