***** Two weeks later
It's been two weeks of no Rocco, Pippa felt like she was going crazy, she had gone to his room numerous times it seemed he wasn't around.
"He's probably wanting to be alone"Aria said
"Get use to it, it's not like he even cares about you"Cassio said as Pippa glared at him
"I care about him so it's ok to be worried"
"You only saw him once and that was the day he returned after disappearing for a month"said Cassio
"Why will he be doing that? could he be lonely?" Pippa asked as Aria and Cassio looked at each other
"What?"Pippa raised her eyebrows
"He's here"Aria answered
Pippa looked around but saw no sight of him
"Why is he heading over..."
The cafeteria went dead silent immediately Rocco entered,it was the first time he had come there, everyone continued eating in silence.
Rocco strolled to their table then sat on an empty chair opposite Pippa.
"Let me guess, there's something we have to clean up for you, Almighty Rocco"Cassio mocked
"You can't keep disappearing without letting us know, your father will kill us if he finds out"Said Aria
"That'll be best for us"Rocco said unbothered
"You both should understand,he's the only one living in the first floor"Pippa chipped in
Their gaze fell on her and she lost her breath when her eyes met with Rocco then she quickly looked away.
"He isn't the only one living on that floor, Aria and I live there too cause that's the only way people can live here"
Pippa Stretched the novel she was reading to Rocco
"I was shocked when I couldn't find this novel in the school library, I wrote the novel, you can read it when bored"
She withdrew her hand when Aria shocked her head
"It's about vampires, humans and witches, the main protagonists are human and a witch,many people loved the story but don't believe me when I say it's real,do you believe in vampires and witches? Pippa asked
"Pippa you.....
"It's ok Aria,many people don't but I do, this story happened during the B.C I guess, it's titled Dario and Zola, Dario is human while Zola is a witch,the strongest witch to ever exist..."Pippa pursed noticing Aria and Cassio reaction.
"How did you get the inspiration?"Aria asked.
"I don't know,it was after I first applied to study here two years ago, I just picked up my writing materials and it just started coming to my head, though I couldn't visionalize the characters but it made a great story,why did you ask?"
"Nothing, it's just.....
"It might be worth reading"Rocco interrupted as Pippa smiled then gave him.
"I was reading it but it's fine, you need it more than I do"Pippa said
"The ending isn't quite..... you know... happy "Pippa added
"I know "Rocco said as his gaze fell on her one more time
His gaze was dark , Pippa couldn't understand the meaning of the look, Rocco just stood up then left
"You shouldn't have brought up that novel, you're gonna make him worse" said Aria
"I still can't believe it "Cassio said
"Do you guys think it really happened? Pippa asked
" No, that's nonsense,total nonsense"Cassio said
"Are you guys leaving me? that's betrayal"
"Dora already betrayed this past two weeks,why can't we? Cassio asked as they left while Pippa glared at Dora and her boyfriend.
*****
"Could that be the reason Rocco is obsessed with her?Mr Luigi asked
"Obsessed?"Aria asked
"He's always at the top tree close to her window"Mr Luigi answered
"He's watching her?"
"He saw something in her, something we can't see"Cassio said
"What should we do?we can't let him finish that novel knowing the ending"Aria paced around
"It doesn't change a thing, the memory never left"Mr Luigi said as Aria sighed
"If it's possible to get a witch close to him , maybe we can wipe that memory away"Aria said
"He can do it himself if he wants to, he's a vampire-witch hybrid and if I need to remind you,he can lock the memory but he didn't "
"He wants it"
"There were good times just as there are bad times, if he gets out of control we'll have to inform his father, he's the only one that can stop him"Mr Luigi said
"Why? cause he stopped him before? that was then, Rocco is now stronger than his father"Cassio said
"If he really is he would have gone to the dark castle and kill his father"Mr Luigi replied
"Let's keep things at bay,it won't be a simple fight if it happens,let's avoid it "Aria said
***** In the evening*****
"I totally regretted not sitting with you today, I could've felt on top of the world if I had shared the same table with Rocco today "Dora said
"You looked like you were having a good time with your b-o-yfriend"Pippa replied
"Yeah "Dora answered with a smile
"Do you think he will read the novel?"Pippa asked
"He will Pippa, don't worry "
*****Two days later*****
It was the end of the music class,lots of students had gone home, some remained for extra lessons and Pippa had to stay back cause Chiara begged her to.
"Why are the vrykolakas the only ones in class?"Pippa asked
"Cause it's curfew hours"Chiara answered
"What!"Pippa quickly prepared
"It's no use leaving now "Chiara rolled her eyes
Pippa sighed, she was already upset that Rocco had returned her novel and gave no comment about it, not even a smile from him.
"Are you leaving already?"Chiara asked sweetly
"I need sleep"Pippa said then left
She halted immediately she stepped outside the class, there he was,her dark angel,so devilishly handsome.
His back was rested on the wall while he....,he smoked,her heart skipped a bit the moment he looked at her, recovering herself she looked away.
"I didn't know smoking was permitted in the school, and um....,are you waiting for someone?"
"Why?"
"If you are free you should take me to my dorm cause as you can see it's past 9pm"
"Why did you stay out so late?"
"it's not like it was my choice"
"Breaking the rules aren't little things "
"It could cost my life right? Mr director told me that already "
"Oh right, I have a book which I store the reviews on my novels, I'ld love you to write yours"Pippa said as she opened her bag then brought the book out.
Looking for her pen, she felt a sharp cut in her index finger...
