"What are you doing back home?" my mom questions as I step through the door. She notices Titan behind me and takes another sip of her wine. Or blood, it could be either one.

"I got bored" I admit and close the door behind us. My mom gives me a look, then turns her attention back to Titan.

"Did she force you to-"

"Mom no! I didn't force anyone to do anything" I say and walk to my room with Titan trailing quietly behind me. He looks around as he does, seeing all the paintings i've done and the ones my parents hung around. There are some family photos hanging around, but barely any. We're not one for pictures.

"Do you always talk to your parents like that?" he questions, as we walk.

"Yep."

"Why?"

"I don't know. They never complain about it, so I just do it" I answer in all honesty. We get to my room and I open the door before going to my bed to sit down. Titan closes the door behind him and looks around my room as if he's never been in one. My room is pretty bland, but he looks around anyway. I follow his movements, watching him touch my paintings that are hung around and pictures of me when I was just a little girl.

"Did you paint these yourself?" he asks, pointing to a random painting on the wall. I nod and look at all the other ones.

"They're not that good, but it's something to do to pass the time."

"No, they look so good. Makes me wish I knew how to draw and paint" he says, in all honesty.

"Want me to teach you?"

He turns around so quick, and looks at me with pleading eyes. I was joking, but I can tell that he's very serious about it.

"Can you?"

I find myself nodding slowly, causing him to jump on me and engulf me in a hug. He wraps his arms around me while mine stay at my side.

"Hug back, or I'll feel awkward and weird" he says, making me wrap my arms around him. He soon lets me go and sits next to me. I look at him to see that he's already staring at me.

"What?"

"How old are you?" he asks.

"18. You?"

"17.. i'm in 11th year, but I get to skip senior year so I graduate with you and every other senior."

Wow, he's that smart? Maybe he can tutor me or some shit since the elders think i'm so uneducated.

"Would you be down to tutor me?" I find myself asking. If he said yes, no tutoring would actually be done. I just know it.

"Will you really teach me how to draw and paint?"

I shrug and tell him yes. He nods at me, silently saying that he'll tutor me. We start to talk about many things and find out more about each other. I decide to skip telling him all about the vampire thing. Although, it would help him in the long run if he knew about the vampires in our school. Some of them are dangerous and just because they wouldn't lay a finger on me doesn't mean they won't go for him. Especially since he's a human. They won't hesitate.

My dad barges into my room after a while and stares at Titan and I, as we sit comfortably on my bed. He gives me a look, the same one mom gave me. What's wrong with them? Did someone take away their play thing. Yeah, don't even ask. I stare back at him waiting for him to say something.

"Who's this?" he finally speaks up.

"Titan."

"Why's he here?"
