7.2 Vincent Quinn

Oliver laid his head in his arms as he slept on the desk. He didn't bother covering up his wounds and bruises yesterday since he didn't want to waste his points on overpriced merchandises.

Today was the day Vincent the male lead was coming and today was the day where the female lead is absent and not able to interrupt his plans.

Oliver heard the door slide open and the chattering of his classmates silenced. He was sure that stated the entry of their domineering male lead, Vincent Quinn. However, Oliver left his head bowed, not bothering to lift up his head.

The clacking of heels came after and their headroom teacher spoke in her shrill tone.

" Class, this is Vincent Quinn, the new addition to our campus! He is a prodigy and not to mention he is the CEO of the Quinn! Such a large achievement in such a young age! Receive him well!!" She spoke with awe and reverence and Oliver's classmate gave compliments and gasps to butter up.

" You may seat next to Oliver." She sneered. They had no choice since the only open space was beside him. " I'll change your seat when a free seat comes along."

Oliver played dead as the footsteps approached him, the were strides that were almost silent if not for Oliver's good hearing. The familiar thudding of his soul made Oliver look up in surprise.

His eye caught Vincent's own who watched him in surprise. Almost immediately, Vincent grabbed Oliver's wrist and dragged him out of class, ignoring their teacher's calls and the comments left by the class.

" Hahaha!! I bet the new kid doesn't like Oliver at first glance and went to beat him up!!"

" He knows well!!"

"Guess we do not need to warn him against such sluts!"

Vincent excitedly, well as excitedly his stoic face could get dragged Oliver up to the rooftop where no one else would bother them. He longed for his mate and he never would have thought he would meet his mate in school.

Without waiting for Oliver, he reached for Oliver's pale wrists, bringing them to his nose where he sniffed a little and licked it. Then Vincent extended his fangs and bit down on that fair wrist. This was a custom between vampire mates, they were to bite each other's wrist in greeting.

Vincent lapped at the blood and watched as the bite wound closed up. Oliver lowered his head and did the same, filling his mouth with the metallic taste of blood. It brought to him satisfaction though, knowing it was his mate's blood. Also the fact that it tasted strangely good.

" Mate. " For the first time Vincent spoke and it sent Oliver shivering. Oliver left his head down, pretending to not meet his gaze.

Vincent frowned at his mate's unnatural behaviour and he lifted his face to meet him. He snarled in displeasure when he sees the purplish bruise on his cheeks. Who dared to hurt his mate? His eyes burned in flames. He was without his mate for years from his 100 birthday and was deemed mateless.

He decided that no matter who his mate was, he would still accept them, as long as they were mates. And when he finally found his mate, he found out that his mate was bullied! Injured even! Vincent's black eyes met Oliver's brown one's. From the beginning, Oliver had not spoken a word which unnerved Vincent. What he did not know was Oliver was planning to play the silent type.

" Mate. " Oliver whispered quietly, shyly looking down, whereby Vincent smiled happily at the recognisation.

" My name is Vincent Quinn, " Vincent said caressing Oliver's honey blonde hair.

"Oliver." He said leaning into his touch.

They stayed like that for awhile before the bell brought them back.

" You should stay away from me." Oliver whispered sadly, pushing Vincent back. It left Vincent confused and a little hurt, but he determinedly held on to Oliver. Oliver shrugged of the hand and said, "Meet you after school" before he left.

Oliver walked fast, back to class, while making sure that Vincent was trailing close enough to watch the drama that was going to ensue.

As soon as Oliver opened the door, he was welcomed with a bucket of dirty water, which he of course welcomed with open arms. Bao Zi already told him it was there and Oliver just played along.

Oliver spared Vincent a glance before shaking his head. Vincent clenched his teeth in anger but before he interfered, he was halted by the class's comments. He didn't pay attention earlier, but now they were all dissing his mate, he couldn't not pay attention.

" Haha! He deserved that!"

"Look at his sorry figure! I bet Vincent punched him hard!"

" Get back to class!" Even though the teacher said that, her voice didn't carry any seriousness or concern to Oliver, to Vincent, Oliver was ostracized and the teacher was no use in keeping the class in check.
