Lisa POV

"Are you sure you don't want me to just call Jackson back for blood?" Rosé asked as she tended to my arm. "You haven't healed. You need blood."

"If I bite him, I'll have to lick his wound and I don't want to complicate it. Trust me, I'll heal. I'll be fine."

"It looks like it's worse!" She growled in annoyance at my stubbornness. She pulled out her phone and I rolled my eyes as she was probably telling Jisoo, who has become quite the protective older sister with me.

They were right, I needed to heal. I needed to get better because I promised BamBam I would keep him safe. I still had a few days left before I could return to him and I needed to be strong.

But I didn't want to feed off Jackson.

"Your babysitter just got here. I have class." Rosé winked at me but before I could remind her that it was dinner time, she left the room and I smiled when I saw Jennie walk in.

I immediately put my arm under my blanket, trying to play it off like I wasn't in pain but considering her frown, it wasn't working.

"You haven't healed." She whined as she gently held my arm to look at the bite.

"Don't get mad when I kick your girlfriends ass for this." I mumbled and she scoffed at me.

"She's not my girlfriend and I kicked her ass already."

"But you were being all cuddly with her!"

"Yeah and so were you with that fucking wolf." She hissed and I froze at her yellow eyes. "I didn't put my face close to hers or flirt with her during class. Why didn't he heal you huh? Wanted to be the chivalrous boyfriend?"

"I didn't let him heal me." I snapped at her. "And I wasn't leeching on his arm like Sana did! But maybe I should! To thank him for taking care of me while you 'calmed' her down."

"Lisa. Bite me." She glared at me when I turned away from her, not wanting to see her right now. Considering this our first argument and I may be in pain, but I'm sure I have the strength to kick her ass.

"Lisa," she cooed softly and I felt her grab my arm, immediately my body started to relax and I felt myself on cloud nine. "Please? Heal for me."

"Not... fair." I tried resisting but her wrist being so close and how weak I was, I bite in and felt like fainting at how good Jennie's blood tasted.

I felt a thousand times better and grinned when I dragged my tongue across her wrist, noticing her slight bulge. She suddenly pounced on me, her lips slamming to mine.

I moaned into the kiss, all these emotions running through me and before I could rip her top off, her hands stopped me.

"I'm sorry." She quickly got off me and I bit my lip, now feeling embarrassed by what I did. "Like I said before, I don't want you to think I'm using you."

"It's fine." I mumbled, faking a yawn. "Thanks for healing me but I'm pretty tired. You can stay if you want." I turned around, laying under the covers and hoped she wouldn't stay.

She didn't.

She left and I cursed myself for getting so into the kiss, hating how easy it was about to be for her to have me. I rolled my eyes at myself and figured sleep was the best thing for me.

I woke up the next morning to knocks on the dorm, I noticed Rosé wasn't in her bed. I went over, opening it and was surprised to see Jackson on the other side of it.

"Hey, just wanted to check up on you. See if you healed yet." I nodded, showing him my arm. "Jennie?"

I felt my cheeks flame up, causing him to sigh. I don't know why that made me feel guilty. Jackson and I, it wouldn't happen. Sure, he's been nothing but sweet, I just didn't feel that for him.

Maybe I felt guilty because he was so worried for me and I refused his help. I needed to thank him.

"I actually wanted to thank you. How-"

"Actually." He cut me off, an apologetic smile. "I was coming to ask you if you wanted to join me at the beach party in a few hours. If you're up to it."

"A party huh?" I grinned at him, before realizing we were still in the doorway and I gestured for him to come in.

I heard him chuckle, gesturing to my side of the room. "You and Chaeyoung must be polar opposites huh. How does that even work? A vampire and mermaid being roommates?"

"She's my best friend." I smiled at how great me and Rosé got along. "I think her being a mermaid is awesome, but yeah. We're pretty opposite in interests. Twins almost since we're both fun."

"And beautiful." He winked at me and I smiled at him. "So about the party?"

"Yeah I'd like that. Let me just change and I'll meet you outside?" He nodded and left my room and I quickly pulled out my phone to text Rosé.

To Rosé: Beach party and I have no bathing suit. Mind if I borrow?

Rosé: Only have a black bikini in my top drawer so rock it, sexy!

I rolled my eyes and went to grab the simple bikini, changing into it and brushing out my hair. I put on a tee shirt and shorts, wondering how this would go.

I grabbed a towel and went to go meet up with Jackson, who was leaning against the wall. He held my towel for me as we walked to the beach, that was at the far end of the campus.

"Mermaids and sirens take their classes here." He explained when I asked how we managed to leave campus. "Professors are here too, just to make sure no one is out of line."

We saw a lot of students at the party, many of the girls playing volleyball and in the water while the guys hung out and played football.

"Jackson!" A guy ran over to us, smirking as he gestured to us. "Finally asked her out huh?"

"Shut up." He hissed at him, "We're just friends. Lisa, this is Mark. Mark, Lisa."

"Nice to meet you." I gave him a hug and saw the guys gesturing for him to join in football.

I saw Rosé and Jisoo by the snack table so I quickly made an excuse. "You should play! I'm going to grab a snack." Jackson nodded and I ran over to the table, scaring Rosé and making Jisoo laugh.

"Sorry." I giggled as I patted her back as she was choking on the sandwich that she was eating. "So do I get to see some mermaid action today?"

"Yeah!" She grinned then her expression deepened. "Oh great. Tzuyu is back."

"What's wrong with-" I turned to look at where the girls were glaring. Then I saw her. She was pretty and what's worse, Jennie was holding her by the waist and making her giggle.

"Tzuyu is always on and off with Jennie. She's such a bitch, I don't get why Jennie is even interested." Jisoo glared and Tzuyu immediately snapped her head over.

Her angry eyes flared at Jisoo and I quickly took a step in front of Jisoo, warning her off with my red eyes.
