"Do I look ok?" 

I asked twirling around the room doing as what Mom said. It was kind of short for my liking, mostly because of the chilling sensation every time my skirt slightly lifts up when walking. 

"You can't go to school like that." 

Elijah looked at me disapprovingly. I looked down after hearing his comment. Does it not suit me? I probably looked weird. Am I too arrogant thinking they'll like it? It was because I was getting used in their compliments that I didn't expect that reaction from Elijah.

Enzo hurriedly come to my side, wrapping his arms around my waist. He kissed my cheeks afterward as he tilts my head sideways sniffing my nape in the process. What... what? I look at the mirror seeing myself slowly turning red from that slight contact. 

"It's not like that sweety. You're just so... "

"Fuckable." 

Jackson ended that sentence proudly as I slowly melt from the embarrassment. That was not needed kind sir. 

"I apologize, Sky. I just didn't want you to feel more uncomfortable when you go out there."

Elijah hugged me from the back as we are still facing the mirror. He softly brushes a strand of my hair as he kissed it afterwards. 

"You'll be swarmed with insects with just your looks. Dressing up nicely would just make it worst."

"I can't kill that many." 

I looked at Lantice and Linx weirdly as they entered the crowded room with Qen in tow. Kill insects?

"Do they bite? I've seen some insect repellant in Mom's room." I said as I tried to break free from Elijah's and Enzo's arms. 

"Haha no Doll. But I won't let them bite nor stare at you for even a second." 

"You have different class schedule with Sky, Canary." Vaughn intercepted as he took my hands leading me away from the group.

We entered Enzo's closet again as he ramage in there looking for specific clothing.

"Must be suffocating, I'm sorry." He meekly smiled as he undresses me.

"Why?"

 "It was just... skin ship is their way of showing affection. I know it can be quite overwhelming but at this point that you've..." 

Vaughn looked at my eyes as he tried to dress me up again this time with jeans and plain white shirt that I find quite comfortable unlike the previous one. 

"Had sex with them?" I asked guessing his intent. He laughed.

"You're quite fast when it comes to that topic." He pinched my checks as he kissed my lips flittingly. 

My face heats up from the sudden sweetness. Vaughn was one of the people I'm not that close with. We agreed to be in a relationship, but it was still awkward with him and quite a few others. Our interactions were limited to him giving me sweet drinks and sometimes feeding me at the dining hall. He never makes such advancements like this even if we're alone, not until today. 

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm your lover, aren't I?" He said looking at me with a playful grin that I've seen for the first time. So unlike the kind and gentle Vaughn. 

"Am I not allowed to kiss you?" He asked looking at me with those sad eyes.

"No!..I mean Yes!, Yes, you're allowed to kiss me." I closed my eyes shut from the embarrassment from shouting so suddenly.
