The Dracula Discreet Haven't Met You Yet
Today is the first day of my sophomore year at Carmen College of Literature and Arts, where I study History and Classical Literature Studies. I walked out of my dorm and still felt very sleepy because last night my dorm was having an unofficial pajama party to celebrate the last day of our summer break. We danced, we sang, drank, and foolishly (tended to) forgot that tomorrow’s gonna be the start of a new semester. When I left the building at 7.30, hardly anyone was up. I stepped on my mustard flat shoes lazily across the street, glancing back before I walked away from that small three-floored building. The dorm only accepts female students so it’s pretty neat, even though the building is looking rather old with an exposed red brick, old-time style from the last century. I lived there with around 35-40 other students from various colleges and universities, but most of them study in a state university a block away from the dorm. I have lived in this dorm since I left my homet
The Dracula Discreet The Incident
That first image remained in my mind forever. After that day, I started to notice him when he was around, usually sitting alone, reading behind the long desk at one of the outdoor study corners facing the campus park. Nobody ever gets closer than two chairs beside him, and it’s a common thing. I just looked at him from the distance. But somehow at the same time, I felt more and more eager to know him personally because his mysterious and out-of-reach aura somehow attracts me more into him. I guess I am a bit of a competitive and easily challenged person, so I feel more attracted to someone who looks distant and unapproachable like him.I might sound like a stalker right now. No, I am not intended to stalk on him, yet every single time I saw him, I can’t help but watch him closely, just like today at the parking lot (Well, maybe just a bit!) He’s a jewel to my eye, 185-190 cm tall, wavy shoulder-long black hair, often tied in a bun like a far-east imperial pr
The Dracula Discreet The Ice Melt
After the bumping incident, every time we’re passed each other I always tried to manage a smile at him or greeted him. Sometimes he smiled back a little, some other times he just nodded cooly. But that was okay. As long as I get a slight response from him, I am totally fine. Well. I don’t really mean to get close to him, but that’s just me. I just can't help myself to try to get my way to someone I have a crush on and never had enough patience to continue having a crush on someone I don’t know. And counting the last summer break, I already have a crush on him for more than four months without approaching him in any way. Now I realized that he just got a few close friends at the campus, and it was only with them that he usually talked or walked together. There were three of them, all of them are also at their senior year, and the boys are usually sitting next to him at the cafeteria, or in the reading aisle. One of them is Pax, my theatre club senior, also in the same major a
The Dracula Discreet The Audition
Somehow, after that first conversation, his reaction towards me changed. He wasn’t really cold around me. He would smile wider or say hi first when we ran into each other in the corridor or anywhere around campus. Even once or twice, when he’s walking with his friends, he actually can say something like, “Hey, Anita. Have a nice day”. Well, I think once you know or talk to him personally, he was just like everybody else, just a bit quieter and much more good-looking… But I think my first step has succeeded, I finally know the man I have crushed into in person. And I still think I’m not having a crush on him because he’s famous, but just a cool, gorgeous smoking man on campus.I have a few classmates that are closer to me than others. We’re usually together in class, and in the cafeteria, but we’re not really close outside campus, though. Even so, I know they’re all quite a big fan of Clayton, since our freshman days. Georgina, one of my close friends, was one of his b
The Dracula Discreet The Lift
I walked back to my dorm very late after everyone finished auditioning because I wanted to see how my friends and upperclassmen doing at their auditions. It was a little past midnight. Luckily my dorm wasn’t far, so I don’t have to rely on public transportation. As I walked alone right beside the campus gate, thinking about what had happened earlier, I saw a black Camaro slowly passed and pull over a few yards in front of me. Then, a guy came out. I recognized his silhouette from afar. It was Clayton, and he walked closer before talking to me. “ Hey, do you need a lift?”. “Nope, that’s okay. My dorm’s just three blocks away”, I said. “Well, then, I can take you there”, he answered. “No, really, you don’t need to. I can walk”. “ I cannot let a woman I know walk alone in the dark like this. It’s past midnight!” “No problem, I am already used to this, been doing it for more than a year. It’s safe”. “No, I insisted. I’m not
The Dracula Discreet The Audition Result
Thursday morning, three days after. I woke up in the morning feeling really tired and nervous. I was between giddy and anxious about the result that will be announced in the afternoon. Also, those magical moments I had with Clayton feels slowly fades away, because ever since he asked my number on Monday night, I didn’t meet him anywhere, and he didn’t contact me in any way. He must be working, having interviews, photoshoots, or something. He’s busy and a public figure, anyways. Don't get your hopes up too high, silly girl. Well, fortunately, I somehow know I can’t expect that much, he most likely hasn’t had any interest in me, as more than acquaintances, or someone he barely more than knew each other a little. Maybe he just asked for my number so he can add me to his phone contacts as someone in the sophomore year. But on the other hand, being inside his phone contact is already something though. Soon after I stepped out of the shower, my phone rang. It
The Dracula Discreet The Ruffled Lucy-To-Be
I didn’t call him, at last, all afternoon, or even text. I didn’t know what to say to him, with all these things that I had known and my mixed feelings were so getting in the way. But after a few hours thinking alone in my room that evening, while waiting for Sasha to come back from her campus activities and give me advice, I think I have to be true to myself, and to him. Even though it was almost 10 pm. I called the number that called me this morning. “Evening, Clay, this is Anita,” I said as soon as he picked up the call. “Hey, I was waiting for your call all afternoon. How were the casting announcements?” “Yes, I got the role. But there’s something I must ask you. Why didn’t you tell me that you’re also going to perform? I saw your name in the leading role”. Damn, I can’t help myself from sounding a bit upset. “So, my name is on the list? Sorry, I didn’t mean to hide this from you, Anita, but after the audition, Pax said they still didn’t h
The Dracula Discreet The Heights
I freeze and stare at my phone for a few seconds. Suddenly I realized what his last sentences mean and jumped out of bed. WHAT? Oh my God!! Did he just say he’ll pick me up in 20 minutes??? I hurried and got changed. I opened my closet and picked something to wear. What am I going to wear??? Jeans and something warmer? Sweater? Jacket? Coat? I didn’t even know what he meant by picking me up, and where we would go. Probably I should wear something I usually wear to campus, but maybe a little bit nicer and warmer? Maybe not a sweater because it won’t be nicer or flattering at all, and I will definitely drown in coats. Ugh, the “perks” of being a shortie. And where the hell is Sasha when I really really need her?? I picked dark grey tight jeans and black knitted tank tops, then layered it with a light grey thicker knitted cardigan. Moisturized my face, brushed some powder, a bit of neutral-toned eye shadow, eyeliner, and lip tint. I grabbed my bag, empti
