Devil's Angel: Chapter 10

Chpater 10: Unpredictable

My eyes slowly opened as I heard the disturbing sound of a girl shrieking. I used my hand to help me sit up and I noticed that there was no one in my room. No one who would’ve been able to create such horrible sound. I was about to drown myself in the blissful paradise, but there was another shriek. Sighing, I stood up and followed the terrible sound that awoke me.

Though I should be really used to it by now, I wasn’t. Sometimes, it would really be nice to awake in peace, if that wasn’t too much for me to ask. I mean, I was really fine with the noise, since I hated silence more, but I couldn’t handle too much of it.

“You're such a damn arrogant pure blood!” It was the first thing I heard when I came to the living room. It was Kathleen Gray—or just Katie—as I thought. She was glaring at Jasper who was also giving her death glares. Oh, so they're at it again. Usually, these two acted like my alarm clock every morning. They tend to fight every time because of stupid and pointless things. Sometimes it felt like I should just push one of them to the other and let them have a make-up kiss.

Ignoring the two who were arguing like those married middle-aged couples, I went to the kitchen and grabbed some cereal for breakfast. I poured milk on the bowl I found and added the cereal after I was finished pouring.

I sat down on the couch that was in the living room and enjoyed watching the television as the soon-to-be couple yelled at each other.

“Did you sleep well?” I heard Kiean’s voice from behind and felt him sit beside me. This was also one thing that I wasn’t used; Kiean suddenly appearing. It was really irritating to think that he can be so…

What was the right word to describe him? Cunning? Amazing? Surprisi—

I looked at him with a glare when he snatched my breakfast and ate some. This guy was really insensitive. Did he not know that by doing that, we just shared an indirect kiss? But it was not like I cared about that. It was fine, but he shouldn’t have taken away my cereals.

When he gave it back to me, I answered his question. "I guess... But I can't quite remember sleeping. I just remember that Sara wanted to talk to me and the other stuff are kinda hard to remember."

“Really?” Kiean seemed surprised, which surprised me. He took the spoon from me and ate a mouthful. It's quite weird, I assumed that he'd be cold today. I thought he'd have a bad mood, but this guy really did know how to surprise me. “That's weird. Amnesia again?”

The answer didn't come from me, but from someone who suddenly popped into the living room. “Wrong!” Sara beamed as if we were having a pop quiz. I shifted my position for a little bit, only to see her smirking at me. She sat down between Kiean and I, laughing. “She fainted, that’s why she can’t remember quite well.”

“Ooohh...” the two of us—Kiean and I—reacted the same way at the same time. I shared a we-talked-in-unison-like-we-were-twins look with him, and then turned my attention to Sara. “Then, we didn’t get the chance to talk. Didn’t you have something to tell me? We can talk about it again, you know. Maybe it’s important so... You can tell me.”

Sara shook her head with a smile. “No, it’s okay.” she told me. “I already found out the answers. So it’s okay. It’s not that big of a deal.”

I looked at her curiously. How would she get the answers she wanted when she didn't even talk to me? Was it really not a big deal? Oh well, if she says so. “Hint.” I blurted out without meaning to. The two looked at me questioningly. “Can you give me a hint of what you wanted to tell me?”

“Truth about you,” was all she said with a mysterious smile. “It was weird, really, of how I wasn’t able to get the obvious answer by myself. I found out that it was a waste of time to even ask you.”
