"You think your special?" Arion digs his knife slightly deeper into my neck. Drops of blood flow down

"I'll KILL YOU! Just like the other thousands"
I SHREAK IN PAIN as he thrust his knife into my neck. I slowly choke on my blood.

I jolt awake and touch my neck. It's still intact and I'm still alive. That ... that was a really bad nightmare. I touch my sheets/clothes and they're soaked in sweat. It was all so ...real. I lay back in my bed and rub my neck. Special? ... would he kill me just like that?

"Like the other thousand. Had he killed a thousand before me? " I speak softly

"Wait- no, he hasn't killed me yet. "

I don't know why I added the yet after that. He won't kill me at all!

I nervously laugh it off. I shouldn't talk to myself like this. I want to ask him but what if he actually kills me? What if he finds out that I know? That I saw the pictures?

BEEP-BEEP— (btw it's the next morning)
Shit- that almost gave me a heart attack. I was on the edge of the bed and in freight I had fallen off.  I guess I have to get ready for class. I shower and change into this

I walked out of my room and surprisingly Arion wasn't around or sleeping in his room

I walked out of my room and surprisingly Arion wasn't around or sleeping in his room. I walk to my class and listen to Artic monkeys. Ironically the song "do I wanna know" plays after the song I had chosen.

Do I wanna know?? I walk into my class with this one deep thought, so deep I ended up bumping into someone.
"I'm sorry" i don't even look at the person. I just sit in a nearby open seat, I don't want any more problems

"Watch it, pet" my head immediately shoots up, recognizing the voice. He turns and walks away.

"Tybalt!" I sort of yell out. Everyone turns to me but then minds their own business. My cheeks flush because of the unwanted attention. Tybalt walks towards me and looks rather surprised for a second. Only a second. Mischief took over quickly.

"Pet?". DO I LOOK LIKE A POODLE?! NO!

"Don't call me that, I'm a human being and I'm most definitely not yours. Now, can we be partners for today's lab?"

"Very counter intuitive argument but sure" A sly smirk appeared on his face. I'm not sure if this is a good idea but I want to know more about Arion

Author POV
They sit separately and when the teacher asks Eliot who his partner will be everyone gasps at his repose.
"I want Tybalt for today" the teacher just nods along, he's not payed enough to care for eliots suicidal requests.They work for a long time on their actual project, every now and then Tybalt would insult or do something to annoy Eliot.

Eliot POV (1hour later)
"Tybalt" I called out to the man in front of me who was taking a concerning amount of time to make a paper airplane.
