Lillian's POV

"The Symptoms of becoming a Vampire." Mr Vexx said as he writes it up on the board.

"Can anyone give me some examples?" He glares through the classroom, looking to pick someone out.

Silence falls over everyone as usual which makes Mr Vexx even more determined to pick people who don't know the answer.

I didn't realise I was holding my breath until he pointed up the back.

"Raven." God, way to go Sir. Picking on the new guy. May I add, quite a handsome one too.

Raven looks up from his desk to Mr Vexx.

I was expecting him to say, 'I don't know' or come out with some snarky remark but no. To the class, even to Sir, left us all with open mouths.

"Well, it depends on the type of vampire, Simon."

My eyes widen. Did he just call Mr Vexx by his first name? No one does that. Let alone have the guts too.

"There are two main types of vampires- mortal and immortal vampires."

"Mortal vampires are those humans who have an obsession with drinking blood. They like to pretend to be real vampires, obtaining some kind of excitement from drinking blood. Mortal vampires are often said to have Renfield's Syndrome."

He laughs, shaking his head as if its some kind of joke.

"Mortal blood drinking occurs worldwide. Many blood drinkers will advertise for blood donors, whereas others will purchase from blood banks, which is only allowed in some states."

What the hell? Is he seriously talking about vampires as if they were real?

"Immortal vampires are also considered Homo Wampyrus. The four most common types of these vampires include Draco, Nosferatu, Sauria, and Chiroptera."

Sauria? I don't even think Sir would know who that is.

I turn to Mr Vexx, expecting him to turn around in shame, but instead, he stands up tall, looking down at Raven whilst nodding his head in approval.

Ellie looks at Raven like he's an Alien that's just walked on Earth.

"Looks like you know a lot about Vampires, Raven. Care to share how?"

Mr Vexx looks at him with squinty almond eyes. For some reason, I feel like tensions just entered the room.

With a shrug of the shoulders, Raven replies, "I just do."

"Do your parents specialise in Vampirology?"

"I don't have parents.."

I instantly feel bad for this kid.

"Then who rais-"

"Sir," I cut in, giving him a slight glare.

Raven quickly turns to me, looking curious but I don't see any emotion at all.

"Right, I'm sorry to hear that Raven. Well, class your dismissed. The bells about to go." He adjusts his glasses and retreats to the front.

Raven is still looking at me. And now that I think of it, he has such appealing and attractive lips.

There just the sort of lips you would gladly kiss all day. I think any women, even man, would be in heaven with his plump, bee-stung lips.

What am I saying?

I see his mouth curve into a perfect smile and I suddenly realize I'm starring.

"Nice name." He sais, his mouth dripping a strong British accent with every word.

"Nice lips," I reply. And before I realised what I just said, I run out into the crowded hallway.

I mentally slap my forehead as I open my locker, shoving my books inside.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid," I repeat over and over again, mumbling so no one could hear me.

"Um, what the hell was that?"

Ellie stands beside me, leaning on the lockers with a huge smug look on her face.

"You know what it was."

"You totally dig him."

And when I don't reply she shouts, "Oh my god you do!"

I give her the 'will you shut the hell up' look but she continues to smile.

"I don't alright! He's cute but too creepy for my liking."

"Cute? Cute! He's as hot as two trees fighting over a dog!"

I instantly snort. Ellie and I do this thing were we debate on how hot someone is. I know, we're nerds.

"He's hotter than Satans nacho farts!"

We both crack up this time, slapping each other's backs in approval. Little did we know our voices could be heard corridors away...

"He's so hot he makes me sweat like a hooker in church!"

He's so hot-" A cough behind us interrupts our girly debate.

We turn around to see Raven standing behind us.

"Um, I hate to interrupt on your 'Raven is so hot' debate believe me but my locker is right next to yours so I need to squeeze through." He laughs.

"Ah, oh shit, Lillian I will text you tonight ok?" She mumbles as she quickly walks away, leaving me to deal with the awkwardness.

Great.

"Yeah sorry about that we were-"

"Don't worry about it," He says, cutting me off with a shake of his hand. "You're not the first."

Wow, talk about stuck up. I awkwardly laugh as he stares at me, looking me up and down.

"Do you like parties?" He asks casually.

"I guess. Why?"

"There's a party this week, Friday night at my place."

"That's nice of you Raven but I'm not-"

He cuts me off again. "I'm inviting you. Be there 9:00 pm sharp. I'll have a mate text you were I live."

And with that being said he walks away as if nothing had happened.

Who does he think he is, making plans for me? For someone, he doesn't even know!

"You don't know my number?" I shout.

But he doesn't look back. I'm so not going to that party...

Lillian, we have to go! It's a wild party hosted by a hot senior!

I'm currently texting Ellie all the details of what happened earlier.

You mean a creepy, hot senior! I literally had no consent whatsoever if I wanted to go or not.

Give him a break, Lillian! He was probably too nervous to beg you. Plus, I think he has a crush on you.

She sends a winking emoji and I mentally gag. To be honest I'm not sure how I feel about him. Not just yet... There's something off about that I can't quite put my finger on.

Come on, please! We always go to parties. It'll ruin our reputations if we don't go.

That is true. I mentally think of all the things that could go wrong but decide against it. Parties are fun and I was going to have fun tomorrow night.

I text Ellie back saying we'll go but she has to stick with me at all times because I seem to feel a bit off when I'm around Raven.

Yay ok! I'll see you tomorrow, Lily!

I sigh and close my phone, leaning back to land on my soft and magical bed.

I thought this chapter was pretty funny. Lol Satans nacho farts! 😂

Ah, well have a wonderful day and I hope to see you next time for another fang-tastic chapter!
