Chapter 7 - Chapter 6: Hint of Jealousy

Agatha

I glanced at the empty seat beside me in the classroom before briefly rolling my eyes and sighing.

It's been two days since I kissed him, and ever since then, I have noticed that he doesn't sit next to me anymore. I guess it's better, so I don't get distracted.

I got lost in my thoughts until I heard laughter on the other side of the classroom. My eyes landed on the noise; it was him laughing with his friends.

I observed his posture and how he interacted with them, and I felt a hint of jealousy flash through my eyes. I squeezed my fist shut.

He seemed so happy, his eyes disappeared as he laughed, and he looked so comfortable with the two people he was with talking to.

His eyes suddenly made their way in my direction and I raised an eyebrow. I immediately noticed his cheeks getting red, yet his eyes seemed anxious.

I raised my hand and signaled him to come to me, he hesitated and looked at his friends before I stood up and left the classroom expecting him to follow behind me.

I escorted him to the school rooftop and sat in one of the benches facing the railings.

I saw him in my peripheral vision slowly sitting beside me, and I heard him clear his throat.

"About that night.." I turn to face him and focus on his face, and I quickly see his Adam's apple moving up and down.

I sighed. "How are you feeling?" He seemed to ignore my question, so I held his chin. "Look at me," I commanded.

His brown eyes fixated its gaze to my eyes, his eyes were like dirt under the grass.

"Uhm..I'm good." His tone felt doubtful, so I loosened my grip on his chin and crossed my arms.

"Forget what happened okay?" He nodded before sprinting to get out of my sight and I sighed before following him back to the classroom.

I looked at him as he entered the class and the professor was already there, but there was a girl standing beside our professor.

I went to my seat and examined the girl only for my eyes to widen in shock.

"Good morning everyone! My name is Kalisia Cordenillo, I hope we can all be friends." She bowed to everyone, but my eyes stabbed to the very end of her soul through her eyes.

"Sit down everyone. We will have a quiz today so be ready."

————————-

I glanced at his figure sitting right beside me as I momentarily focused on my paper, and answering a test that I didn't even study, yet I seemed to perfect all of the items with no hardship by reading one of my classmates' minds which is Alexander.

"Hmm.. Photosynthesis? Fuck I'm too sleepy for this early test, good thing I studied last night, but I didn't sleep."

A faint smirk curved on my face as I heard his thoughts in mine, he's smart, but doesn't even take care of himself. 

 Pathetic..

I glanced at his paper through my peripheral vision only to see his hand trembling which caused my eyebrows to meet each other. 

"I wonder what number she's answering already.."  

I quickly wrote a threat in my paper when I saw his blue eyes landing on my paper before erasing it when he suddenly moved a little further from me.

"Ugh..why is she so scary…oh right, she's a vampire. What am I even thinking? I need to focus on my test instead of letting her creepinto my thoughts."

I sighed hearing his thoughts, so I listened to someone else to get answers.

————————-

After an hour of just copying from everyone's thoughts, the professor finally let us out, and I noticed him quickly packing his things and sprinting towards his friends.

I crossed my arms and left the classroom to get food or should I say blood.

I went to the girls' restroom and leaned on the sink to wait for my next victim, but it seemed that luck wasn't on my side today when I saw her leave one of the cubicle stalls, and we stood in front of each other.

"So..what are you doing here? Kalisia…" She smirked at me before squirming and hugging me.

"Omg I missed you so much, I went here to see you again, silly." She pressed her face on my chest which caused me to scoff and push her.

"How did you get out?" I turned around to wash my hands at the sink while looking at her through the mirror.

She grinned like an idiot kid and put her hands behind her back. "Well..let's just say I sneaked into your mom's house and found a mysterious glowing potion, you know I'm always curious, so I drank it and tadaaa here I am." She laughed at me while covering her mouth, so I splashed a little water on her.

"So…you really killed them, huh?" She added and I saw a hint of confusion in her eyes before it disappeared.

"I needed to get out, I just couldn't meet their expectations of me.." I shot a glare at her when she gave me a shocked expression and pointed her finger at me.

"So that's why! You don't wanna be a-" I cut her off.

"I don't wanna talk about it." I gave her a cold glance before fixing my long hair. 

"Okay, I respect your choice, we've been friends for 300 years, so my loyalty is eternal." She bowed and gave me a smile.

"Are you hungry? Let's hunt." She squeaked at my command and opened the bathroom door for me.

We left the school campus and started walking in the streets.

"How about we race to that mountain and find food? If we're lucky, we might also see hikers on the way. Let's meet at the peak." She giggled and she got into a starting position to run, while I remained standing.

"I'll give you a head start." She nodded before using her speed to run through the forest.

"1 minute." I set an alarm on my phone and crossed my arms, sensing her energy and presence exploring the whole forest to find food.

As soon as I sense her energy starting to reach the peak of the mountain, my bones crack, which causes me to groan from the immense pain while getting ready.

Every single bone of my body cracked to the point where I was in a crawl position, and grey hair grew intensely everywhere in my body as my body also grew big.

I groaned and smelled the blood on her presence which caused me to release a lot of saliva and drool.

I have turned into a giant wolf..

I used my inhumane speed, and in just a second everything looked like it had been warped into a line as I ran fast until I reached the peak. I let out a sigh and saw her sprinting towards me with two hikers dead in her hands.
