A New Ghoul in School

The Switch

"He did WHAT!?!?!?!" Aidrian had to cover her ears when Draculaura let out a massive screech through out the creepeteria. "OH my gosh, I can't believe you made out with DJ Holt Hyde twice in one night! Oh gosh I am so jealous~!" She watch her tiny friend so a small victory dance...? "Well what happened with you last night? You sort of ditched me, you know" Draculaura flashed a cheeky smile as her face flushes a faint pink color. Aidriana quickly started leaned in to gain more details "Uh oh. Somebody's blushing~! Spill it" "W-well...Clawd took me to the room and-" "Clawd picked your phone?! What happened next" Draculaura giggled a bit from her own embarrassment, trying to figure out the right words to say. "You know,...stuff. He is such a good kisser! It was absolutely amazing~" She leaned against the table for extra support as she fantasized about her moment with Clawd. "If only I could re-live it over and over again~ Siiiiiiigh~" "Ok, Draculaura. Stop it before you cover the table in your drool" Aidrian smiled and looked around the creepeteria, hoping to catch just a glimpse of Holt Hyde.

"Well I'm not to only one who wants another round. Don't fight the fact that this school is filled with plenty of hot boys who are amazing kissers~" Draculaura looked up past Aidrian and smiled. "How about him?" Aidrian turned around and got a good look at the guy for herself. "You mean the human? He and I sit together in Biteology." "Have you gotten to know him at all? Maybe we should ask him to sit with us~" Before Aidiran could protest at all, Draculaura was already calling the guy over to their table. They both couldn't help but smile at just how timid he seemed as he walked over to the table with his lunch tray. "Y-yes?" he asked them. Draculaura was the first to speak up "Why hello, Human. We just wanted to know if you wanted to sit with us. My friend thinks you're super hot." "I didn't say that~! But we would like you to sit with us. Jackson, right?" He nodded at them and slowly took his seat. Somehow, he ended up sitting right between them both. "Tell us about yourself, Jackson. What is it like being a human? Is it weird at all?" Draculaura, as usual, was honestly curious about all things "weird". Jackson adjusted his glasses a bit "U-um well I've always felt pretty normal. I don't really know what to say. Maybe I should ask you guys what it's like to be monsters...?"

Aidiran smiled a little and spoke up "Well since you asked so nicely, I'll share with you. Being a gorgon can be a little stressful since everyone always thinks you'll turn them into stone or whatever. She nobody ever wants to look you in the eye." "The sounds wrong. Aren't those glasses you're wearing blocking the spell?" Jackson asked before taking a bite out of his sandwich, part of him surprised he could find something that normal in the creepeteria for him to eat. "Well..yea. How did you know that?" Aidrian looked over at him and before he could say anything, Draculara spoke up. "Jackson is really smart! Hehe, so I've been told. A human at an all monsters school who is super smart. It was all over the Ghostly Gossip a couple days ago. I think it's nice." "I didn't know everyone was talkin about me like that." "Well it's nothing bad to be on the Ghostly Gossip. You'll instantly be famous at school since everyone has the app."Jackson could only remain silent as he soaked in all this new information. The loud boom of a boom box across the room finally snapped him out of it. "Oh my gosh, I love this song!!" Draculaura squealed as she nudges Aidrian to dance, at least. Jackson could feel his shoulders shaking already. "m-music...I have to go now!" He didm' even bother to pick up his lunch before he dashed out of the creepeteria.

"What did you say to him, Drac?" Aidrian asked in pure confusion. "Nothing! I don't even know what happened." "Well whatever it was, it scared him off for good. It must be hard being around monsters all day." "I think it's pretty normal." "Drac, you know what I mean. Jackson is a human and you know what rumors they spread about our kind. To them, we will always be scary." Draculaura smiled at her friend and brightened up when she spotted someone special behind her. "Hehe! Don't look now, but I think a certain someone has his eyes on you~"  Aidrian furrowed her brows and turned around. Her eyes automatically landed on Holt and made contact with his own. Holt smirked and strided over to her table. "Well if it isn't the sweetest ghoul in school~ I knew I'd run into you eventually." Aidrian  could feel her cheeks heat up at the compliment. "Who me? I'm not all that sweet." Holt scooted closer and mumbled near her ear, just loud enough for both Aidrian and Draculaura to hear. "From what I got to taste last night, I'd have to disagree with you~" Draculaura burst into a fit of giggles herself over her own embarrassment. "Holt Hyde, you naughty boy! I'll leave you both to talk. See you later, Aidrian~" 

Holt spoke up again after Draculaura left them alone. "So, sweetness, I wanted to apologize to you." Aidrian looked at him and arched her eyebrow in confusion "Apologize? For what?" "For leaving you alone last night after that amazing make out session we had~ I would be lying if I said that I hand;t been thinking about it." It was the first time she had ever seen Holt blush. He had always been so confident and bold around the ladies, especially her. "Heh, I know it sounds dumb, but...there's something different about you that I really like. Would you mind if i...." He trailed off as he leaned in closer to kiss her. But he stopped when Aidiran's fingers pressed against his lips "H-Holt..! We can't do that here with all these ghouls." This made him grin "Then how about we go somewhere else~?" He pulled her out her seat before she even protest and led her out of the cafeteria. 

"Where are you taking me, Holt?" "Patience, Sweetness. Just want to slip away with you until our next class." Holt opened a door behind the main stairs, leading down into the catacombs. They only went down a couple steps before his arms were around her waist. He stole a kiss before she was able to find her words. Her back was against the cold, stone wall, but she somehow didn't care about that at all. Being there with Holt was amazing enough. Why did he even want to be alone with her so bad? Could it be that he actually liked her? Thinking about that now was just out of Aidrian's interest. She couldn't help but kiss Holt back despite the questions crawling around in her head. Finally, she got a grip and pulled her lips away from him. "Wait, Holt. What's going on?" "What do you mean, sweetness?" "I mean like....are we- why did you bring me down here?" "You said that you wanted to be alone~" Holt grinned and placed his hans on her waist. "I actually wanted to ask you something, if ya don't mind." Aidrian arched her eyes brow "So I was thinking that I really like you, and I wad hoping that you and I could hang out sometime...~?" "Oh well...sure. I wouldn't mind that at all." She didn't expect to him to smile so brightly. 

"Really!?! Oh, baby you know just how to make me feel so ALIIIIIIIVE." She giggled at his wail of happiness. That's when they heard the bell ring for their next class period. "I think we should get to class?" She said with a smile. Holt grinned and winked at her "Well alright. But I'll be seeing you after school, right?" Aidrian could feel herself blushing again as she stared into Holt's amber colored eyes. This time she was the one to kiss him, leaning forward and placing a small peck on his lips. "Yes you will...Plus you should probably turn your music off before class, silly." That was all she said before walking up the stairs and opening the door to the hallway. Holt smiled up at her and turned off his iCoffin, being so distracted by her beauty that he forgot what happened to him when he isn't around music at all. His vision blurred before he could say something to warn Aidiran, and everything went dark.
