"Luna."I stopped licking my ice cream and saw Vico sitting beside me. His bruises and wounds are still visible."You still have your wounds and bruises. Does it still hurts?"He chuckled while shaking his head, "I feel better than last week." Vico slightly pushed the swing that we're sitting on, "You already know what bruises are. You're always calling it as 'purple patch'.""Yes. Mom told me.""Why are you here? The Boyz has an online fan meeting now, right?"My whole system crashed down as he reminded me of that event. Tears endlessly flowed on my cheeks. I was supposed to meet my idols, but dad cut off our internet connection. And worse? It's already been a week now!A WEEK!"H-Hey, stop crying! They would think that I made you cry," he tried to wipe my tears, caress my back... everything just to shut me up.But, I can't.I threw kicks while wiggling my head. Strands of hair were still stuck on my wet face as I gave him a death glare. His eyes showed fear when he saw me slowly sta

"You're now in high school. Please, avoid causing trouble.""Mom!" I blurted, "I haven't caused any trouble since you gave birth to me!""Don't get me started, Luna." She shoved my bag on my chest with a bitter expression, "Just behave."When she turned her back to me, I made a face. She was always hot-headed these days. A little unusual creak or sound could trigger her and yell all day long about nonsense.Is she already in her menopausal stage? Isn't she too young for it? How old is my mom, again?Gosh, how could I forget my own parents' birthdays and ages?!I rushed downstairs. Dad slightly pulled down his laptop's monitor when he saw me at the door of the dining room."Come on, your breakfast is ready."As usual, it's a steak. They always wanted the rare one, and I like medium-rare more. Since I learned that it's their favorite, they seem weirder in my eyes. Their wine also. It has a smell like metal or something.But meh, who knows? Vico told me before that I'm weirder than my pa
BLOOD MOON'S OBSCURE 11: Invitation
"What are your plans after class?" I put my notebook on top of Vico's and copied his assignment. "Not sure. Do you have anything in mind?" "Well," he slid his body on the chair, "Nothing either." "Then, let's stay in our own house." He just shrugged. I keep on writing and revising his answers for our biology class. Copying answers isn't my thing, but this one is urgent and I really need to pass this or my dad will scold me nonstop. Since it's a two-hour lunch break, only a few of us were left in the room. Most of our classmates went outside. There were actually around four who left here. Vico just bought a lunch for the both of us, then got back here immediately. He hates being in a crowd without me. All the girls kept on clinging to him or giving him tons of food that went straight to my stomach. Vico never ate food from his admirers. That's maybe rude to hear, but he almost died before from poisoning when he ate a chocolate from his admirer. Vico was really traumatized. That's
BLOOD MOON'S OBSCURE 12: Research Paper
Write down. Crumple my paper. Search for articles. Aggressively tap the delete button. Repeat.Argh! This doesn't make any sense!What else could I search for regarding vampires? All these articles are not that accurate or have been published more than ten years ago– they're not acceptable anymore to be a reference.My fingers were typing randomly while I was thinking about what else I could do to finish this fucking research paper. I have no idea who has any ideas about vampires that I could ask.Fudge!Why is this so hard?!My stomach also started to get angry. I pouted while I was tidying up my table before getting my food downstairs. This is the first time I got hungry while doing school activities. This paper definitely makes me stressed.While descending, muffled voices are slowly being heard from where I am walking. As my feet stepped on the last step, Mom's voice became clear."This is the fifth time, yet we still can't catch them," she sighed and brushed her hand through her
BLOOD MOON'S OBSCURE 13: Vampire's realm
While I'm fixing chapter 2 of my research report, Vico asks curiously, "What have you searched so far?"He cocked his head to look at my paper. I had to push his head away because it was nearly covering my laptop with his head."Researching things about them doesn't actually require much of my time or effort.""Why?""My parents, it turns out, were also mildly preoccupied with vampires; they provided examples that were just like those in articles," I shrugged.My fingers stopped typing when Vico gently moved my laptop's monitor down, and my eyes started glaring at him. He already has a habit of interfering while someone is working on something essential."Your parents?" he clarified, I nodded. "So, Venice wasn't wrong at all?"I gave him a sour expression. How could he enter our home illegally only to utter those absurd comments? He rocked himself while glancing away from my glares and curled his lips into a tiny line.Our maid handed us two plates of lasagna and two glasses of juice,
BLOOD MOON'S OBSCURE 14: Two Marks
Vico nags, pointing at the area beneath my eyes, "You shouldn't load yourself for too much, look how big your eyebags are."We have examinations coming up, Mr. Vico. Did you even study?" I smacked his hand and rolled my eyes at him."No need. I can ace the examinations with or without reviewing," he smugly said.I laughed and said, "Huh, good luck, then," before turning away from him.He was so conceited, ugh! I honestly don't know how or why I became his friend. For me, he was only a headache.Vico pursued me and kept making fun of me till we came to our floor's corridor. As I enjoy making fun of him, a gaggle of girls suddenly block our path.As soon as I recognized their faces, my brows wrinkled. They were the girls who were ready to offer Vico a gift, but Venice told them something that caused the girl in the middle to stab me in the face.Vico kindly urged them to relocate, "Ah, pardon me. We're going to be late for our lesson. Can you move?" yet they made not a single move.I co

"Her blood dropped all of a sudden and that caused her to lose consciousness. It might be because of pressure or fear, other than that, your daughter is fine. She just needs some days to gain her energy back.""How about her friend? His name is Vico, the one who got hit badly. How was he?""Fortunately, their school medic ran him here immediately, so we could medicate him on time. If he wasn't, he could be placed in ICU now. By the way, do you know where his parents were? We can't contact the number of his guardian indicated on his I.D.""We also don't know anything about his family. He was our daughter's long-time friend, but we never heard him talking about his parents.""How about your daughter? She also doesn't have any idea about her friend's family?""It was a personal matter that can't be shared with anyone," I couldn't help but to chime in.They all looked at me with shock in their faces. Mom instantly hugged me tightly. I could hear her sniff and felt my uniform suddenly wet.
BLOOD MOON'S OBSCURE 16: Keep an eye
Their eyes were digging deep in my soul while we were walking past the gate of our university. The thing I did that day was still a mystery for me.My chest felt so tightened when my schoolmates pushed me towards the spotlight I never wished. They put me on an unfamiliar stage, even our eyes never met, their stares were enough to make me sweat cold. Gosh, why are their eyes so heavy?"Luna? You're shaking, are you okay?" Worry is visible in Vico's voice. He held my hand and squeezed it to help me to calm down."Their stares were so heavy." He barely heard my voice."I'm here."Until we entered our room, those stares never left me alone. Instead of torturing myself by thinking about what I'd done that day, I buried my face in my bag. That thing has been happening for almost a week now, and we just came back from hospital.I don't understand why they are still staring at me like that. Did I do something wrong aside from what I did a week ago?THIRD PERSON'S POVVenice almost broke her d
