CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

We were inside the clinic the whole 2 subjects and this vamp kept on teasing about the punching I did on his nose. I probably shouldn't have done that because he just got another reason for us to fight. I was expecting he would get mad but I think he find it amusing rather. Is he nuts or just a masochist? However, that punch didn't leave him cursing in pain though since it was nothing for his super awesome degenerating skills.

"Hey perv. You know, we can still attend the last 2 periods," I suggested. I'm fine, he's fine. That leads us to attend remaining classes, right?

"You're such a hardworking student, that's why I hate you," he answered as he sat down the chair near the bed where I'm lying and showing his back at me. He was reading something I don't have any idea what its all about.

I scowled, "Why? Are you one of those students who wanted high grades but doesn't want to study?"

He turned to face me and looked with even the slightest emotion is not etched on his face.

"Look, woman, I don't like anyone lecturing me, especially when it's you," he replied coldly. Did I just ruined his smart-ass-reading-here mode that's why he sounded like that?

"Psh.. By the way may I ask something?"

"You are already asking."

Seriously? Stop being a jerk and stop ruining my mood!

"Tch. Why did you choose me as your buddy, we're not even friends to start with?" A brow creased and I think my questioning left a disturbance in his head.

"I chose you not because I wanted to, I do not have a choice," then I'm the only option you have? But why? "Were you listening to me as I have conveyed the story of my past?"

"I listened," he glared at me and I gulped, "I did, promise!"

"Your pulse is not on its regular beat. You're lying, Kathy," he's looking at me intensely! For heaven's sake, he can also read my pulse? "Now listen, I chose you because it's a reason of secret-keeping."

"Say what?" Secret-keeping? What's that suppose to mean?

He frowned.

"Tell me, did that fall off break a nerve on your head that it won't function right?" I gave him the what-are-you-talking-about look. He positioned his hand on his chin, motioned it as if he was thinking, "Probable cause. Hmm, seems legit."

"I will punch you again the next time you tell something unfamiliar to me."

"Oya~ I told you the answer to your query, now what do you need," but not all! What did he mean about secret-keeping?

"Poor human," he shook his head and I felt the want to punch him again real hard, "I meant about my secret for you to keep. Of all human in this publicity, only you and Raven knew about my secret. Well you could count your parents and other vampire hunters but they're excluded in this friends system, do you get me?"

"Half?" he once again, glared at me, "Okay, I got the point."

"Good," he turned his back on me again.

After that conversation, we didn't talk with each other. We stayed inside the clinic until the last period, we asked the nurse's permission to let us stay there though we're already fine. She just agreed and also praised Evel for being a good BOYFRIEND to me because of not letting me enter the remaining classes to make sure I'm really okay. Him? Me? That match making me want to puke.

When the bell rang, we thanked the nurse, went out of the clinic after. Evel left me after saying that he still have to pass by the DC room. He ordered me to contact Mr. Yamagi when I want to go home.
