Chapter 7: Empty Classroom
The first period finally started after an hour’s delay. The teacher had some issues with his vehicle and thus, he informed the dean to give the freshers an hour's time to get to know each other before the class began.
The empty classroom was packed with students now. The poetry teacher, Mr. Risorito, introduced himself politely and started the class. He reminded everyone that he was usually punctual, but when he came into the classroom; it was empty so he waited for all the students to join, which caused the delay.
“He looks old,” mumbled Becca, glancing at the grey-haired teacher, his nose was pointed like an arrow.
“He is old,&rd
Chapter 8: A Warming TouchBecca covered Alexander’s mouth with her hand. “It’s me,” she mumbled, making Alexander look at her blankly.He would be lying if he said that the closeness with Becca wasn’t affecting him. She, a human, placed a hand over a vampire’s mouth. He hustled her hand away, afraid that he would lose control and bite her.“Why would you pull me like that? You could just call me from behind,” Alexander explained to Becca.She bit her lip, answering, “I thought you would avoid me.”He sighed and took a few steps away from her, pretending to stay unaffected by her closeness. “Then what was the need of covering my mouth?”
Chapter 9: Poem CompletionAlexander turned to Becca and said with an expressionless face, “Fine.” He didn’t argue further as he took a seat once again.It amused Lucas when he saw that Alexander actually calmed down with one touch from Becca. How can this be possible when Alexander is known as one of the most dangerous vampires because of his temper? Lucas wondered, still not believing what he saw right in front of his eyes.“Let’s not argue anymore and stick to unrequited love,” Becca beamed when Alexander didn’t protest on the topic anymore and she sat back on her chair. “Are you okay with it?”“Will you change the topic if I
Chapter 10: Tables TurnedFinally, after much effort, Alexander, Becca, and Lucas turned in their poem.“Is it completed?” Lucas asked Becca after Mr. Risorito took the paper.“Yes,” Becca responded curtly, nervous about how the poem turned out. What if the teacher didn’t like it and gave them double punishment?“Don’t you feel ashamed for even asking that question, Lucas?” Alexander said in annoyance. “You bailed at the last minute.” Alexander ended up completing the poem with Becca last night.Since it was difficult to leave the room, Becca and Vanessa slept in one bed while Alexander slept on another bed. When Becca fell asleep, Alexander got out of the dorm and Vanessa wen
Chapter 11: Quest For Vampire“Answer me,” Becca demanded while Alexander stayed quiet. He couldn’t believe his special power of altering reality, failed right in front of his eyes. “Were you possibly trying to touch me in an inappropriate way, Alex?”His eyes grew wider as he replied immediately, “No, not at all. Why would I even try to do that?”“Maybe cause… you are attracted to me?” she questioned him.Even though Alexander wanted to deny the accusation at that instant, however, somewhere in his mind, he knew that he was attracted to her. There was something connecting them and thus, he didn’t want to deny the question she asked. So he said, “I was checking whether it works or not. You know, Ms. Vandiza, my pro
Chapter 12: A Vampire Mark“Becca,” Lucas started speaking, holding a pen near his mouth, ready to chew it whenever bored with the classes. He had attended school with humans because the Lycans were normalized by living with human beings.Becca, who was bored in the poetry class and missing Alexander because he didn’t attend the class, hummed noncommittally in response, letting Lucas know that she was listening to him.“A question got into my mind.” he asked, “Why do you call Alex by his full name Alexander sometimes and the other times just Alex?”She twitched her lips. &ld
Chapter 13: Her Happiness MattersAfter the return of Reena Weevils, the students were relieved knowing that she didn’t go missing. It meant they weren’t in danger since Alisha killed herself, and she wasn’t murdered. That's why the authority announced the death of Alisha Andy to be a suicide.Everyone was busy preparing for the trip. Vanessa was struggling to complete the pile of works she was assigned with. Becca, Alexander, Sebastian, and Lucas, all of them were helping her. Even though Sebastian was in a different department, being the college representative had its perks to help his girlfriend out in times of need.“Becca, can you write an article about how exciting this trip will be?” Vanessa asked her as she was eating a cold sandwich.&l
Chapter 14: Tour PreparationEveryone was busy with the preparations for the camping expedition. Vanessa was making the banner along with Becca by sitting on the ground.“Alex, can you pass me the glue?” Becca told Alexander, who was busy booking a bus driver for taking the students to that part of the jungle.He took a pair of scissors which was on the table and put them in Becca’s hand. “Here,” he informed her absentmindedly.Feeling the cold metal on her hand, Becca glared at Alexander. “I said glue, not scissors.”“I still don’t know which driver will be suitable,” he complained in frustration.“For God’s sake, you are as
Chapter 15: Soulmate?It was finally the day when everyone would go to the camp in the jungle around seven hours away from their college. Seven hours—it was a long and tiring bus journey. Therefore, Vanessa and Sebastian ensured full comfort for the students. Despite being in different departments, Sebastian made an application to go with them, which the dean agreed after Vanessa’s persuasion. It was her special power after all.“Get in,” Vanessa said to Becca after most of the students got into the bus. “Seb and I will make sure that others are inside. Don’t worry.”Becca nodded and stepped onto the bus. Lucas was about to follow her but Vanessa stopped him and said, “You can get in but make sure Alex sits next to Becca.”Lucas shook his
