In the cafteria, trays clattered , student laughed , chairs scraped across the floor, to everyone it was just normal school day, butto irene the noise felt overwhelming
She grabbed her tray as she follows lucian
throigh the crowded room to their table
"Relax, okay? ", lucian asked
" I'm hearing things, the noise is the loud in my ear", she said
"That is part of the change, you will adapt to it, just calm down, okay? ", he said
" Okay! ", she said as she smiles at him softly
They reached a corner table where mia was sitting
" Look at you, you made it", mia said
"Yeah", irene replied
They started to eat silently but mia broke the silence "joke apart, what really happens? ", she asked them
" Nothing", lucian replied
"That is not everyone says", she leaned forward , talking slowly
" What are they saying", irene replied
Mia looked between them"some says you are kissing and stuff like that"
"Why will we go and kiss in the toilet when there is classroom, hallways and so on to kiss", lucian said as he sipped his qater slowly
Irene felt her pulse jump as lucian's eyes flickered to irene then to mia
" So what do you think? ", lucian asked mia
"I think my bestfriend had been acting weird", she said as she set her gaze on irene" And now the transfer student is always around her
Irene forced a small
Lucian smirked faintly "maybe i like her personality"
Before either of them could talk again the door of the cafteria opened
A tall student came in with pale skin , the noise in the room barely changed but irene could notice that something is in the air
Her sense sharpened instantly and a strange chill ran through her
"Lucian....", she whispered
Lucian has noticed too
Across the room the tall student stopped at the drink machines his eyes lifted slowly and met with irene's eyes
Lucian's posture shifted "do not stare back"
"Why", irene asked, heart racing
"Because he his staring at you ", he replied
Mia frowned " What are you guys talking about",
Neither of then answered
The boy began walking through the cafteria, not toward friends, not toward the lunch line but toward them
Irene twisted"lucian.... "
"I see him, do you know him? ", lucian's voice dropped lower
" No", she replied
The boy stopped two tables away from them, his gaze fixed on irene then to lucian then to mia and then to irene again like a predator studying a prey
Lucian leaned closer to her "he is up to something, he is not human"
Irene's blood ran cold "Another vampire? "
"I'm not sure maybe he is vampire or not but he is not from my clan", lucian said for only her to hear
Then the boy smiled dangerously at them like he heard everything
Lucian's jaw tightened
Because if another clan is sent to tbe school that will be a hunt and thhat might cause hee trouble
In the other side mia didn't really nitice anything strange except how lucian and irene her talking silently to each others ear
" Will you guys stop all this secret chat that you are talking into each other's ear and let us continue our conversation, please? ", mia said
