Kimi's POV
I sensed a sensation in my jaw and hurried to the mirror, but I couldn't see my reflection. My mom was smiling at me. I touched the area that hurt and noticed something sharp was there. "It's just your fangs, sweetheart. Don't worry," my mom said, clearly thrilled. I went to bed in discomfort, knowing I had to face school the next day.
I woke up early today and quickly put on my school uniform. As I stepped out of my room, I felt surprisingly refreshed. I made my way downstairs for breakfast, where my mom handed me a bottle filled with a red liquid, reminiscent of the one from my birthday. I took a sip, and this time it tasted pleasant. She then gave me a ruby necklace, saying, "This will protect you from the sun." I put it on and grabbed another bottle of the red liquid before heading to school.
Upon arriving, I spotted the girl with the serpent tattoo. She walked over and took my hand, pulling me into the janitor's closet. The tiny space felt cramped, and before I knew it, she had me backed against the wall. As she stepped closer, my heart raced. "What... what... are you doing?" I stammered in surprise. She gently placed her hand on my face, silencing me with a kiss. I found myself kissing her back, my hands instinctively wrapping around her neck. When she pulled away, I stood frozen, my mind racing. What just happened?
"Now, will you listen to what I have to say?" she asked, her voice slightly breathless. "Yeah," I replied, urging her to continue. "Can I please drink some of that blood? I'm really hungry, and I don't want to feed on them," she said, a pained expression crossing her face. Without hesitation, I took out the bottle and handed it to her. She drank half of it and returned it to me, a small amount of blood left at the corner of her lips. In that moment, something inside me shifted—I instinctively licked the blood from her lips.
I leaned in and kissed her, and to my surprise, she responded almost immediately. She wrapped her arms around my waist, pushing me against the wall, and started kissing my neck, hitting that perfect spot. A soft moan escaped my lips, and she pulled back slightly. "What a sweet sound, honey," she said, her raspy voice igniting something inside me. She returned to kissing me, her hands exploring my body, while mine stayed gently around her neck. Our moment was abruptly interrupted by the school bell, and she quickly stepped away. "What's your name?" I asked, and she shot me a playful smirk. "Do I kiss that well?" she teased. "How would I know? You're the first person I've kissed. I'm Kimi, by the way," I replied with a smile, watching her blush as she pressed a kiss to my cheek. "I'm Charlotte. See you after school," she said before walking out of the closet. I stood there, blushing fiercely, and took a swig from my bottle, drinking it all in one go.
A few hours had gone by, and my hunger had intensified. The scent of blood grew more potent, and I sensed my control slipping away. "May I please step out, ma'am?" I asked urgently as I hurried out of the classroom. Once in the bathroom, I caught sight of my own reflection—my eyes were a deep shade of red. In the corner, a girl was crying, and I approached her. Driven by an uncontrollable urge, I bit her and drank a bit of her blood. After hypnotizing her, I swiftly escaped the bathroom.
