Drabble Fifty-Four - Making The RH Look Normal In Comparison

~Sang~

I slid into my seat, my head on my hands. The class was regular, as always, except for a new kid who'd taken the seat next to me. Not really paying much attention to him, I was surprised when I caught him staring at me.

Reddish brown hair, more of a russet color than Nathans, pale skin and strangely gold colored eyes. He was good looking, I'd give him that. But the way he was just plainly staring was creeping me out.

"Can I help you?" I asked politely. North was in the corner, staring daggers at the guy.

"You're my own brand of heroin."

I stared for a moment. Okaaaaaaaay...

"That's...Nice for you." I turned back to my notebook, doodling small roses in the corner.

I could feel the new boys eyes still staring at me, and it was more or less freaky as sh*t. Smiling to myself, I realized I must be picking up some language from Meanie and the others.

"I love you so much."

I was doodling furiously, hoping he'd get the message and shut up. One thing I did not need: a weird boy obsessed with me.

"I'm a vampire."

This time, I spun around and locked gazes with him. Right. Vampire.

"Stranger things have happened," I said, absentmindedly, and added, "and do. With alarming regularity."

"You aren't scared of me?"

"Chances are you're a deluded emo."

"I'm a terrifying monster."

"Nice for you."

"I sparkle in the sunlight."

"How...Frightening of you."

"I live off of animal blood."

"That, I admit, is a weird dietary choice. Tell me how that works out for you."

The boy paused. "I could rip your throat out right her, right now."

"I'm sure you could. Please don't, though, my throat has some sentimental value for me."

"You smell delicious."

I paused from my drawing.

"...Right. Thanks, I guess?"

"You're so tempting."

My eyes went to North. He was holding a crushed pencil and staring at Creepy-Stalker-Emo-Vampire like he wanted to crush him too. I decided to warn the boy.

"I have a rather scary friend over there. I might stop talking about how tempting I am if I were you, ..?"

"Edward," he filled in.

"Edward."

"I love how you say my name."

"People do say I have an elegant accent."

"I love you."

"That's great. Do you mind loving me from somewhere else? Y'know, maybe Antarctica?" I was sort of frustrated. The guy wasn't getting the message; I wasn't interested.

"I need to be near you."

A pale hand reached out and touched my cheek. My eyes widened and I slapped away his hand.

"No. Naughty Edward. No touching."

He chuckled and I decided I was done with talking. I raised my hand.

"Miss! I feel ill!" I called. She nodded, freeing me. Edward got up to follow.

"No, stay here please. I...Uh...Want to go with my other friend."

"I will fight for you."

"Great. Bye." I shouted over my shoulder, running toward the door with North hot on my heels.
