The next day. I felt like I only slept like one hour or so. Which I probably did. I was waking up all the time in fear Elijah was standing in my room, ready to such me out. But he never showed up. At least I thought so.
"Oh my god.
I look...Eww!!!
I need a lot of make-up!" I said to myself looking at the mirror.
I got ready and went to school. I saw Samantha was arguing with her girls and I didn't want any drama. So I got chicken out from there, without getting noticed by her.
I knew what my first lesson was. More importantly, who I had this lesson with. To my surprise, Ian already sat on his seat. He was never early before. Hell he rarely showed up at all. It was my seat next to him but I didn't sit there. I passed through his seat and sat somewhere else. I know it was childish. But his presence was just way too… captivating.
"Take your seat everybody.
Before we begin with the lesson, I'll have an announcement to make. A new student will join us. Please welcome Mr. Jackson." Mr Andrew said.
When I saw the new student, I was shocked. It was Elijah, I mean no freaking way.
"Oh!
Hey Liz!! This will be fun!" Elijah said and acted like he was surprised to see me here.
As soon as Ian saw Elijah he knew that Elijah was a Vampire. And Ian got very angry when Elijah talked to me in front of everyone.
"Mr. Jackson. Please introduce yourself." Mr. Andrew said to Elijah.
"Sure.
I'm Elijah. And I was homeschooled till now. But I decided that it would be better for me to visit an actual school. To meet more people. Have more fun." Elijah said.
"School is not a place to have fun but to educate yourself Mr. Jackson." Mr. Andrew said.
"Of course, Mr. Andrew!
I meant to have fun while educating myself." Elijah said.
All girls were very much impressed by Elijah.
"You can take a seat.
Next to Miss Simpson, an empty seat is there." Mr. Andrew said.
"But I wanna sit next to Liz!" Elijah said.
"Well but I'll decide where you sit." Mr. Andrew said.
So, Elijah turned his eyes red for a few seconds and manipulated Mr. Andrew.
"Don't you think that me sitting next to Liz is a way better choice." Elijah said.
"Yes of course, it's the better choice." Mr. Andrew said.
"Right?" Elijah said.
"Have a seat." Mr. Andrew said.
"Sure!" Elijah said.
That shameless brat just straight up used his Vampire powers to manipulate a teacher in front of the whole class and no one even noticed that. Elijah came and sat next to me.
"Hey!" Elijah said to me.
"...Hey…" I replied.
"You look stunning, Liz.
It's like you don't want me to look away." Elijah said to me.
My brain didn't know how to respond to that as you can see. So I was confused and silent.
"How's the food here?
I hope it's good. I'm literally STARVING." Elijah asked me.
"Are you kidding me?" I said shockingly.
"Of course not." Elijah replied.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked Elijah.
"Going to school.
Like everybody else…" Elijah answered.
"No, what the hell are you doing here at my school?" I asked angrily.
"I thought this was the best Idea in order to spend more time with you." Elijah answered.
"Are you insane?" I said.
"Some people say so.
But I consider myself pretty sane. What's the problem?
Isn't it fun to hang out together?" Elijah asked me.
"Elijah you literally wanted to EAT me yesterday! And now I'm supposed to be fine with us HANGING OUT!?" I said.
That's when I heard a growl from somewhere. My head spun around and I saw Ian was watching us. Fuck, I forgot that he could hear everything we were saying. He seemed angry as hell.
"I know our start was a little awkward." Elijah said.
"AWKWARD?
You seriously consider you wanting to kill me AWKWARD!?" I asked Elijah.
"Miss Varon. Please refrain from talking. And don't distract the new student." Mr. Andrew said to me.
"It's okay. I don't mind you distracting me." Elijah whispered in my ear.

After class, Elijah came to me.
"And what are we doing now?
Trash talk the teachers? Make fun of other students?" Elijah asked me.
"No." I answered.
"Well we have to do something." Elijah said.
That's when the classroom door flung open and closed with a loud bang. I could tell who that was, without even turning around, Ian. Ian came to us and stood in front of me.
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?" Ian asked Elijah angrily.
Ian's voice roared through the whole hallway. When he positioned himself right in front of me he appeared even taller than he already was.
"Rude?
That's not how to talk to someone you just met. But I'll give you another chance to be more polite. You're welcome. I'm a generous person." Elijah replied to Ian.
"FUCK OFF." Ian said angrily.
I tried to shove Ian away from me, but he was like a strong unmovable wall.
"Ian…" I said.
"Ian, huh? What a cute name.
So nice to meet you Ian. You can call me Elijah." Elijah said to Ian with a smile.
People started to gather around us, expecting to see something interesting.
"You're either incredibly stupid or you want to die right now." Ian said to Elijah.
"Fight…
Fight…
Fight…" everyone around us screaming and cheering them to fight.
"I don't wanna fight you.
You look so strong. That's not fair, Ian. But we can become friends instead!" Elijah insisted.
Okay now, I thought Elijah definitely lost his mind.
"Oh, we can be friends if you want. Like really close buddies." Ian replied Elijah with a smile. Okay, that's getting weird.
"I'd love that!
I will call you Ianosa!?" Elijah said with that chubby smile.
"Sure, whatever you like." Ian replied. OMG… are they really doing this!!!
"Ian bro! You're so nice…" Elijah said.
And before Elijah could say something else Ian punched him and Elijah flew away.
"Let's go." Ian said to me. And pulled me with him.
He took me to an empty place in school.
"Why did you take me here?" I asked Ian.
He was silent.
"Ian?" I said.
He didn't say anything, but I could see a small tremor in his body.
"What?" I asked again.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU HUH???
A VAMPIRE tried to kill you and you decided to not say anything to me!! Do you actually wanna die!?" Ian yelled at me.
"We… we don't have the best relationship right now…" I replied.
Ian looked at me like I was the most stupid person on earth. Maybe I was.
"Liz." Ian said.
This time his voice was dangerously sweet.
"We don't need to share all our cute little secrets and braid each other's hair.
But at least tell me when SOMEONE TRIES TO KILL YOU!
I'm okay with you wanting to keep your distance. But not when it puts your life in danger!" Ian said.
"He didn't kill me as you can see." I replied. I know it was a lousy answer.
"How the hell do you two even know each other?!" Ian asked me angrily.
"I saw him sitting on a bench at a playground, when I walked home at night. He was upset and we talked…" I answered.
"Why the fuck would you go to a complete stranger who's sitting on a playground! At night!" Ian said angrily.
"He looked like he needed someone to talk to." I said.
"Liz, do you actually realise that you're the exact stereotypical girl who's starring in every single horror movie.
Would you open the front door too to look if anybody's there? You can't tell me that doesn't sound familiar to you." Ian said.
"You're a prick." I said angrily. And walked away angrily.
"Hey! we're not done!
Liz told me, did you actually open the front door for him? Made some tea and cookies?" Ian screamed on my back. But I ignored him and walked away.
