"Are you sure they never dated?" Nicholas whispered at Elijah.

He and Elijah are both sat on Elijah's bed while quietly watching Bright in the bathroom who had left the door open.
He was fixing himself in front of the mirror while humming a melody to himself. Which is very not like him.

"No. They're just friends." Elijah whispered back.

"Are you sure? He looks like he got dumped. I know a lot of people who were dumped and acted as if they were reborn." Nicholas rambled quite aggressively.

"Shut up. There's nothing like that!" Elijah whisper yelled at him.

"What are you both whispering about?" Gabriel suddenly stepped into the room carrying a bunch of music sheet papers.

"Where's Bright?" He asked just as when the said vampire walked out of the bathroom like a total meal.

His hair was slicked on the side leaving his bangs falling on his left eye. His eyes were more red and his skin is more pale which actually gives him the vibe of a hot vampire.

"A-are you going somewhere?" Gabriel asked a bit surprised by the sudden change of look.

Bright never dolled himself. He had never even styled his hair ever since they met or even at the party the previous night.
But something definitely changed in him after Shadow ended their friendship.

"No." Bright responded bluntly.

"O-okay. We uh..." Gabriel suddenly stammered and also looked at the other two on the bed.

"Lilac gave us new sets to study. This will be for our next stage." Gabriel muttered and handed half of the papers he was carrying to the vampire.

Bright receives it quietly before he walked past Gabriel after saying a small 'thank you.'

After Bright left their room...

"What's wrong with him?" Gabriel immediately questioned the two.

"He's broken hearted!" Nicholas said followed by a stifled laugh. Elijah pinching his waist after.

"Let's just let him be. I don't think he was happy that Shadow ended whatever they have." Elijah said with a sigh.

"Sh*t! They dated?!" The vampire whisper yelled with a flabbergasted expression.

Elijah rolled his eyes as he stood up while shaking his head. Why for some reason these two are being such a pair of lunkheads.

Meanwhile....

Bright decided to look for Shadow which he had made his mission to prevent her from being a hunter.

He stood in front of their dormitory and took a deep breath. He closes his eyes and finally uttered his first ever wish for himself.

"I wish to find you all the time, Shadow." He whispered.

He heard the wind blew around him and he took it as a signal to start looking.
He's fully aware of his bad sense of direction which has been proven too many times. So if he plans to protect his friends, he needs to at least begin with knowing where they are.

The vampire lets his feet take him wherever it feels Shadow would be. As he walked, everyone would take a minute to second glance at him. Because boy, he is a walking hot meal and everyone is not ready to see it.

They already know Bright as the nomad vampire who kicked Raze's ass. But it looks like Bright is about to be in the spotlight again with his new look.

He could hear them talk about him and it gave him a little confidence. He just hoped Shadow would at least react the same.
