It's break time. Everything is good except the lunch break. I can do anything to pretend to be a human but this is my weakness. I can't eat human food. I don't like the taste of it and I don't like doing things which I don't like.

I don't want to compromise. Why should I? No one cares about others then why should I? There is nothing like bonds. It's something that will only hurt you in the end and I don't want to bear that pain again.

That's why I do whatever I enjoy.

I was walking towards my secret place to kill the time when someone bumped into me. I was about to ignore him when his scent hit my senses.

It's an extraordinary scent so I remembered who is it.

I glanced down and looked into his green eyes.

Asher. That's his name.

"Pardon me." He is from Europe. I can tell from his accent.

I don't know why but there is something about him and I know he is nothing but trouble. I tried to ignore him but his words make me come to a halt.

"Would you make me your friend?" he smiled at me and forwarded his hand so casually like it's no big deal. A frown creased my forehead as I gave him a cold stare.

I guess no one has told him about me.

I am quite popular for my coldness. Everyone maintains their distance from me, even vampires.

"I don't make friends." I slapped his hand away and was about to walk away but his next words made me stop dead in my tracks. My legs betrayed me as they didn't move.

"Isolating yourself from others won't lessen the pain. It will only grow more," he mumbled.

I recovered from my daze and turned to glare at him.

Who the heck that punkster thinks he is?

"I don't know who you are!" I muttered firmly, controlling my anger as my hands balled into fists.

"I am your friend." I gotta admit he got me there for a moment.

I am not going to fall for his trap.

I grabbed his arm and dragged him. Everyone stopped and stared at us; some giving him sympathetic looks.

I turned into a corner and threw him at the wall.

Actually, I don't know what to do. No one dared to talk to me and yet he told me he wants to be my friend.

He wants to be my friend. Ha. Either he thinks he is too smart or he is the biggest fool.

I glared at him and grabbing him by his white tee, I pinned him to the wall and looked straight into his eyes.

"Who the heck do you think you are! You don't know a shit about me," I yelled at him. I know now he is going to run away like others and beg me to spare him.

But what he did was off the chart. He smiled at me.

Really! Now I know you are the biggest fool.

"I would be happy if you share it with me." I didn't help but stare at him in awe.

Who the heck is this guy?

†††

He pushed me and let out an impatient sigh. He clenched and unclenched his fists; closing his eyes, he passed his right hand through his hair while his jaw ticked.

Looks like he is battling with himself.

"Stay away from me. I am not a good guy," he said more like he is assuring himself. I blinked and stepped towards him.

I placed my hand on his shoulder and he jerked his head up, his brown eyes staring at me. I can feel the warmth that is hidden in them.

"There is no need to rush. Take your time. Come to me whenever you are ready. I will wait for you," I exclaimed smiling at him.

"And even if you don't want to be my friend. It's okay. I have already made you mine." I gave his shoulder an assuring squeeze and left.

He just needs some time to accept these feelings and I am going to make him understand them.

As I entered the cafeteria, I got face to face with Anna's wrath.

"Where were you? I was looking for you everywhere!" She yelled at me, a scowl on her face and her hands on her hips. Kids turned to look at us but a glare from her and everyone resumed their work.

"Pardon me for the trouble," I apologized. Her eyes softened and the corners of her lips turned up a bit.

"Now. Now."

"There is no need to be sad. It's okay." She smiled brightly at me before squeezing my cheek softly. I returned her smile, "I'll be back in a minute."

"You better be," She chided in a taunting tone.

"I'm waiting for you." She turned and settled on a table with some of her friends.

"Oops, my bad." Someone again bumped into me and this time even poured his drink on me.

He gave me a tissue but the coffee has already done the damage.

He is a good five inches taller than me as I gazed up. He is even taller than Axel. His reddish-brown eyes were full of mischief, gleaming at me. His aura feels different from others; calm but dangerous.

A vampire with red eyes, that's rare. Only consuming a lot of human blood gives you red eyes.

"Are you alright?" Anna asked, worry etching her face and dragged me away.

"I have only bathed in coffee, nothing more." I smiled at her.

"So you can joke too." She smirked at me.

"I guess." I shrugged.

Her gaze stopped on my soaked chest and a blush rose on her cheeks.

"Now go get clean up." I nodded and sprinted to take a clean one from my locker before heading to the washroom.

I gazed at my reflection in the mirror. My tee is clinging to me like a second skin.

Thank goodness! There is no one here.

I carefully took off my locket and slipped it into my black jeans. I hurriedly get rid of the damp tee. I didn't help but stared at my pale torso before wiping it.

I am not that pale like other vampires but still, I am paler as compared to a normal human.

"Oh my, we have a hottie here," a girl's slutty voice came from behind and I glanced at her from the mirror.

She is a werewolf. Wow!

"Pardon me but you have come to the wrong place," I told her as I turned to gaze at her.

"Aww!" she said in her slutty voice and let out a small chuckle. She tossed her hair behind her shoulder as she closed the distance between us.

She has a slender body with beautiful brown eyes and caramel brown hair. She has worn a crop top beneath a jacket and miniskirt. Her heels were making a squeaky sound as she walked.

She licked her lips in an attempt to seduce me but it only irked me and her intoxicated smell made me feel like puking.

No offense but she smelled like a wet dog and she is wearing a lot of perfume which is adding to it. Sometimes having strong senses is like a curse.

Werewolves are wild creatures and I have heard they can be very aggressive and fierce when it's come to their liking.

I wondered what other creatures I might see here.

"I know it's guys' washroom," she told me as she stopped before me.

"Okay!" I shrugged and resumed my work ignoring her.

Someone burst into laughter and I gazed to find the vampire from the cafe from yesterday.

"That's out of the world," he spoke between his laughter. Wearing a clean black shirt, I rolled up its sleeves a little and turned towards them.

"Heads off to you, dude. I mean you are new here but you can also tell she is not a girl," he exclaimed and again started laughing.

"You dickhead," she growled at him furiously.

"I know I'm. There's no doubt about you. What about you?" he asked arching his brow at her.

"You are gonna pay--"

"I'm waiting for it." He threw a flying kiss at her before smirking whilst she glared at him. Stomping her shoes in frustration, she walked away.

"Hey, I'm Sam. That's awesome dude." He beamed at me, his eyes gleaming with joy.

"Hi, Sam. I'm Ash."

"I know. You told me yesterday. Remember!" He gazed at me, his eyes gleaming with joy.

"Yes."

"You are so cool. We two can be best buds."

"Sure." He bumped fist with me and side hugged me.

"See ya around," he gushed and went to do his business. I smiled at finding another good friend.

Samuel Johnson, a funny-natured vampire with red hair and hazel brown eyes. Well built with a muscular body. He may be two inches taller than me.

Looks like every vampire is taller than me.

I smiled at the thought and headed to meet with Annabella. I apologized to her as I wasn't able to join her. She told me 'It's alright and we headed for our class.
