Her Vampire Knight, His Vampire Princess

Chapter 8 (Part 1/2): St. Xocolatel's Day and The Grand Ball! Lame!

"I have to do what now?" I say in disbelief to the pitiful look Yuki is giving me.

"You have to go with the Night Class guys in your special slot. You see a lot of the Day Class guys really like you so they want to give you chocolates for St. Xocolatel's Day. It's usually girls giving guys, chocolates this day, but looks like an exception was made."  Ugh, they knew I had no intention of giving chocolates to anyone.

"They kept pestering Zero, the Headmaster, and me. So we had no other choice." She says all that while she stays near the open door to my room. She knew I would be angry. In fact I was so angry I "accidentally" broke through the wall with my fist.

"So I have no say in this?" Yuki flinches back. If I could read her mind I bet she would be saying,

Now I see why Zero didn't want to be the one to tell her.

I shake my head in disbelief, but then I finally get this thought through my head.

"Wait! They want to give me chocolates? Oh, okay I'll take their chocolates, but not their "lo-lo" that word! Chocolate here I come!" I say in delight.

My sudden change in mood kind of scares Yuki. She backs away from me as I exit my room. She takes me to where I am supposed to go to.

I see a whole bunch of guys already formed there. I see more fan girls though for Kaname, Takuma, Aido, Akatsuki, and Shiki. I kind of hate that I'm the only girl who had to do this. Makes me wish I was the same unnoticed girl I used to be. This attention isn't coming to my enjoyment.

"He still isn't not talking to me? Geez it's like he's jealous or something." I think to myself. This isn't the only time he stopped talking to me temporarily. He did it when Takuma held my hand. And now he's doing it again with the Day Class guys who just want to give me chocolates. So I just pretend that nothing is going on and brush past him on purpose. I can feel his eyes on my back, but I act so uncaring. Although I do feel kind of happy that he feels jealous. Or at least I think he is.

Aido doesn't like seeing all those guys giving me chocolates. In fact he shows it very openly by throwing every now and again small ice shards at them. I'm surprised his fan girls don't notice.

It's hard pretending to be nice to these guys. Sure some of them were very sweet, but most were well like all the other guys. If you catch my meaning.

Finally what feels like the longest two hours of my life, finally it's over. Although I did get like a four months supply of delicious chocolate.

I was about to open one of the chocolate boxes when I see a box of pocky sticks in my view. It's Shiki who is giving them to me. I see his big bag of chocolates too. I take the pocky stick box and I'm surprised he didn't grip it.

"Wow. You didn't- never mind. Thanks a lot, Shiki." I smile at him. It's only natural to smile, right? If I didn't know any better I could see a slight blush on him. I brush it off as my imagination though. Boy my imagination has been kicking over time since I came here.

"Hey Alondra! You know how you said you were missing some books. Here these were extra copies I had." Takuma says with a wide grin as he hands me five manga books all tied together with a black bow. My favorite color!

I take it very gratefully. These guys are really good friends, don't you think? I know what you must be thinking, but no I didn't get anything from Akatsuki. We hardly speak to each other. Anyway I'm pretty sure he has a mega huge crush on Ruka.

I knew something was missing. I forgot Aido was there too. I see a red rose in his hand for me. I'm not sure if I should take it. Although it is my favorite flower so I just take it and thank him.
