Aiden.
I turn to look at Ashley but all I see in her eyes is fear. Her facial expression was calm but deep down she was terrified. They must've done something to her.
I read her thoughts and raise my brow to them.
I need to get out of here.
She needs to go? Why?
Because of a serpent?
She should be instilling fear in them not fear them. I mean, she should have the upper hand here as it should be, right? She is a freaking vampire!
I take my eyes from Ashley to the girl in front of me and her smile widens as I give her my full attention.
"Wow, the vampire is pretty". She said tracing her fingers that I so badly want to snap off on my face. "Too bad, I dig wolves".
Our eyes are locked on each other now. She still had the smile on her face but I wasn't reciprocating it. I frowned at her. "Stop this charade and find someone else to play with".
I tell her, trying my hardest not to use my abilities. The smile that was once on her face disappeared instantly to a frown but her eyes remained on mine. "You're interesting, I'd like to play with you more".
My lips lifts to her words. "Too bad, I dig horny vampires, now get lost".
The others mumble as I tell her, bruising her ego a little as her eyes went to them swiftly before coming back to me.
"I don't take orders from you, and you better watch out from now on because I will personally make your life a living hell".
I raise my brow "Then you should think again, because Hell resides in my name".
It felt like a threat, like a challenge.
Just like that, the battle line I so badly wanted to avoid was drawn.
She smirked and slowly backed away, making sure to maintain the gaze before she walked out of the class with her gang from yesterday.
I hear the murmurs from some students.
Ouuu, he's so done for.
Such an idiot making trouble on his first day.
I hope he gets what's coming for him.
For the records, I didn't do anything but for some reason, they were all against me after seeing that I was ganged up on.
I scoffed at their words and turn to my side only to realize that Ashley was no longer there.
When did she leave?
~~~~
During the next classes, I sat alone. Nobody wanted to sit beside me which was fine because I didn't have to perceive their unusual smells, but it did feel kind of odd.
It was as though I had become an out cast.
I spent the rest of the school day feeling like a curse because everyone suddenly began avoiding me, like I had a mask on my face.
What's going on?
It was also the same when I strolled into the hallway. They intentionally avoided my eyes and turned to face their lockers when I walked past them. I could hear them whispering "That's him, don't look at him or you'll get it trouble".
I couldn't help to think this was some sort of Fresher prank that I wasn't a fan of so I walked past them and out of the hallways to another part of the school where it was quiet and void of people.
Looks like the idea of keeping a low profile is officially on hold.
I finally get to a place where their was nobody. It was a baseball field but it was empty likewise the bleachers. I take slow steps towards the top bench and take a sit there, letting out an exhale when a sigh greeted my ears.
"Turns out the outcast is a hot ass mutherfucker".
A very tiny girl sparrowed from behind me as though she sneaked up on me. I was caught off guard.
"Where did you come from?" I furrowed, rotating my orbs around before taking them back to her.
"Don't worry, I get that a lot". She was relaxed and her eyes were narrowed nonchalantly towards the empty field down below, but her words were directed at me.
She looked like a teenager that had developed all the features a young woman should but suffered from stunted growth.
"You sat here because you didn't know I was here right?"
Her question didn't matter to me so I didn't answer, but I did pick up the scent that radiated from her.
Suddenly, I know why she is small. She's a bunny. Or somewhere between that I guess. She's female so it's only normal that she has a tiny physique.
"You're probably here because you don't want to talk to anyone, and you so badly want me to shut up , right?"
She asked another question that I don't feel like responding to, but the more I look at her, the more it feels hilarious to me and I don't know why it is, but in the next second, I am fighting back series of laughter.
She kept talking still, not giving a shit if I was paying attention to her or not.
"You better find somewhere else to stay because I was here first, I'm not going anywhere, and I'm not going to stop talking until you are annoyed by me and until you hate me...".
I feel my composure deteriorating slowly as I exposed my canines without realizing it.
Does she even realize how tiny she is?
Is she even supposed to be here?
I didn't notice it, but when I turned to her, her eyes were fixed on me without blinking.
"Congratulations, you're officially the hottest outcast in Prestige High".
She tells me in a raspy voice, baffling me even more. And before I can blink, she is on top of me. I raise my brows at her actions amused by her courage to crossbind me with her thighs, settling on me, but the next thing I know, her lips are on me.
She kissed me.
