Chapter 2

Stacy's P.O.V

Today is the first day of College and as usual I'm walking in the hallway towards my class, minding my own business. As usual students gather everywhere catching up with their friends and everything.

I have friends which is my classmates, but I really don't have a close friend where I share secrets with and stuff, I do that with my brother and sister, so yeah. I mean, I had one before, but it didn't actually went well. She likes talking about me behind my back and I actually heard her saying that she is just using me, reason? I really don't know and I don't really want to know. So, now I just preferred being alone. Less drama.

Finally, I reach my class and as usual it's quiet. I think our class is the most silent one out of all the classes out there. Each and everyone of us has business and we only talk if someone is actually going to share something then all of us will start to gossip and that's just that. 

There's only 12 of us in class and most of them are humans. There are only 3 of us that belongs in the underworld. Cherry, who is a vampire and Saira, who is a faerie. 

When Cherry notice me, she smiled and sits beside me.

"Good Morning cupcake!" She beams

"Oh goodness me. I thought I made it clear to not call me that anymore, cherry on top"

When we were in our first year, she accidentally drop her cupcake with icing on my uniform and after that she just started calling me 'cupcake'. I really can't understand her and so I also started calling her 'cherry on top' cause I can't understand me either.

"It suits you, but never mind that! I have something that I need to tell you." She said, leaning in closer to me.

"What is it? Another target of yours? Seriously, how many guys are already anemic because of you? Have mercy on them" I said to her, while thinking about all the guys that just went pale out of nowhere because she fed on them. Of course, normal people thought that maybe they have diseases and stuff and also thought that it's contiguous given the fact that a lot of them just suddenly became 'ill'.

She huff "It's not my fault, I'm always hungry and besides they like the feeling. It's addicted you know. What me to bite you?" She said while showing me her fangs. I rolled my eyes.

"No thanks. So, what is it that you needed to tell me"

She claps her hands "OMG, like you know we vampires have a leader right?" I nodded. "Well, I just heard that he found his mate! Can you believe that? After 2500 years he finally found someone!"

Cherry has been telling me stories about their clan and their leader.

"Well, good for him I guess." I said.

"Yeah, well I just hope that with his mate, he'll be more friendly and not just act like he's always on his period. He's so scary." She continues. "And oh, I heard he met him in the park somewhere"

That caught my attention, it sounds so familiar.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"Ooh! You're interested, that's good. As I've said, he met his mate at the park. My mom told me that our leader just thought of walking around the park that day and boom his mate is there." Cherry says.

"And then what happened?" I asked her while thinking about what my brother just told me a week ago. Come to think of it, after that day me and my brother can't seem to be in one room at the same time. He just went busy all of a sudden. Maybe, he's with his mate catching up?

"Hmm. Wait, let me think. Oh yeah, mom said that our leader is problematic, because his mate went off, they didn't even had a chance to talk and he's unsure as well because his mate is a guy and our leader's parents are homophobic" Cherry says, making me gasp. This is too good be a coincidence. It can't be.

Cherry look at me, concerned visible in her eyes and tone "Are you okay cupcake?" I look at her and smiled.

"When did this happened?" I asked

"Hmm. My mom told me this last week, so two weeks ago? Yeah, two weeks ago" She said, making me shiver and I felt goosebumps all over my body. Wow, what a small world.

"What" I cleared my throat "What was his name again? Your leader I mean."

"Oliver, Oliver Hem." Cherry says. I was about to say something when our teacher walk in, so she went back to her desk.

Wow, if this Oliver guy happened to be my brother's mate, then that means my brother will be the second leader of the vampire clan. How's that.

The teacher just told us to go on our computers and set our targets for the first term. So, while doing that I mind link my brother.

Hey, Xandy? Can I ask you something? I called. 

Hmm? Spill. He replied.

About your mate, is his name happened to be Oliver? I ask

His name is Oliver? Did you meet with him? How did you know it's him? He says, surprise.

Oh. One of my classmate, Cherry, she's a vampire and she just told me the story just like the story you told me last week about meeting your mate in the park. I told him.

Really? So did she say something about him? Like what he's like in their clan or something? Is he good? Bad?  He ask.

"Hmm? Wait, aren't you with him last week? I hardly saw you at home. We didn't had the chance to talk after you came home that day." I told him, confuse. Why is he asking those questions? Don't tell me, they didn't see each other again after that day.

"No, sadly I spent the whole week last week waiting at the park hoping he'd show up again" He told me, sounding sad and disappointed.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Wait, maybe it's not him. You know, coincidence happen, ha ha" I laugh awkwardly. 

"No! Its got to be him. It's too good to be a coincidence" He says. Yep, siblings think alike.

"Anyways, my teacher called me, bye!" I immediately said.

"Wai-" I cut him off before he could finish saying what he's about to say.

Now, I, for sure know that my brother is coming here. "Damn you Cherry!" I whispered, Cherry just look at me confused.

1 hour and 30 minutes later

First class ended and now I heading to the cafeteria to buy water and some snacks when Cherry decided to come along. We talked some random stuff and I never dared to ask her about her clans leader, it's troublesome. 

When we arrive inside the cafeteria as usual it's full of students, but what caught me the most the smell of books and cinnamon. I'm confused, why would I smell books inside the cafeteria? It's faint, because of the mixed smell of food, but I really smell it. I followed the smell and it leads me to the table where I found three people sitting. My eyes landed on a particular someone and he's sitting in the middle, as if knowing that I'm standing in front of him.

He look up.
