"Isn't that the actor, Leo?!"

"What's he doing at school?"

A morning with a change of aura because of a sudden matter of the law in the R-vampire clan. This morning has been filled with squeals and giggles with the sight of Leo in school and it all started just three hours ago.

"School?" I was really surprised waking up.

"Yeah. Apparently, mother has been informed that the law has been passed out that R-vampires must join the humans in getting their diploma and you'll have to go as a student with me. They really wanted all vampires but the U-clan cannot travel in broad daylight, remember?" Leo answered handing me what I believe are the uniforms we ought to wear.

"Yeah."

I look at him confused but he just left the room to change. 

And that's what brought us to this situation. No explanations or whatsoever. They passed the law and that's it. We just got to follow it.

This is the very first time for us to attend a school with other students. Ninety-seven percent of the vampire population finish their studies privately but the council is surely dreaming of this illusion where humans and vampires can socialise. Fifty-four percent of these vampires have a human container with them who are given so much privilege like me.

"Which class are we in?" Leo interrupted my thoughts.

"Class... 2-1," I replied scanning the enrolment paper. "I was told that there would be other transferees these coming days."

"The council reckons that we should not be hasty to follow their orders and we can start whenever we want... I guess since we live the nearest than the others, we were tasked to go first."

"Great. Just great," I whispered and exhaled as we walk down the hallway with all their curious stares.

"Also, we won't be asked to introduce your identity even to other vampires. Low profile to your own clan." Leo nodded.

"Class 2-1, right?" We stopped in front of a half-open door buzzing inside.

"That Leo is going to be in our class? You kidding me?" a guy spoke inside.

"You're just jealous that he's more popular than you James!" the girl replied.

Oh, boy... I slapped my forehead feeling a fuzz in my head. "Are you alright?" I turned and saw Leo's face very close to mine. My heart pounded as he helped me regain my composure.

"Y-yeah. Just felt dizzy but I'm fine. I can't believe that a guy just insulted you."

"It's pretty normal I'd say. You can't please everyone at the same time with the same intention."

The door suddenly slid crashing its sides with a loud sound. An angry guy stood and was surprised to see us.

"Ah..." he muttered. He looked at Leo then immediately at me where his eyes widened. "S-selene? Are you Selene?"

Who is this guy? How does he know me?

"Ugh... Yes. How did you know my name?"

He smiled widely and placed his hands on my shoulders squeezing me. "It's me, James! Your playmate when we were like... seven? It's James Smythe, Selene!"

At this point, confusion devoured me and more students approach seeing Leo beside me.

"Sorry but... I don't know you... You must have the wrong Selene." I smiled awkwardly.

"But it's me, Selene!" He squeezed me more making me flinch.

"Hands off her." Leo grabbed his arms glaring at him like his fangs are ready to pop out. "I said LET HER GO!"

Everyone flinched with his mad voice and the guy slowly removed his hands from squeezing my shoulders. I even saw some girl taking their phones out to take pictures.

"Do you know this guy, Selene?" 

"Do you know him, Selene?"

I chuckled with them asking the same question in sync.

"Your name is James, right? Sorry but I really don't remember you and Leo here is..." I look at Leo who was waiting for my words as well. What do I say? Boyfriend? Best friend?

"She's just his assistant." Seth's mischievous words replayed in my head.

"I'm... Leo's P.A." Leo shrug walking away punching the wall hard. What the hell? I just admitted something true. "Excuse me, James."

I started running after Leo while he remained at my sight but someone suddenly hit on my shoulder hard making me fall.

"Sorry, miss! I'm just in a rush!"

The guy started running away leaving me on the floor. My arm felt pain and when I look at it, a pin fell to the ground with a red stain oozing. Shit. I tried standing up but my ankle felt twisted.

"Are you okay?" I looked up and there was a short girl with curly blonde hair looking at me.

"Ah... I don't know actually..." I gripped on the window sill but fell back.

What the—?

"Do you want help?" Another student approached. I'm not honestly good with a crowd since I grew up only with Leo. I was only trained to stay by him and nothing more. I couldn't look at anyone's eyes with a sudden rush of blood flowing in and out me.

I closed my eyes feeling a bit hopeless on myself. I'm a pathetic assistant.

"Why are you frowning?" I opened my eyes and Leo was kneeling beside me. "You twisted your ankle?" I nodded and he suddenly wrapped his hands around me carrying me like a princess in his strong vampiric arms.

"Put me down, Leo!" I whispered to him but his arms squeezed me more.

"Your blood smells around." I got confused then turn to my small wound.

"It's just a small cut, Leo..."

Leo looked at me with wild eyes. "Are you mocking me to suck your blood or do you want other vampires to devour you like those two from before?"

"What are you saying? Leo everyone is looking at us. This might harm your public image!"

"I don't give a fuck about what they think, Selene. You said it, right? That you're just my assistant?" He entered the clinic placing me on the bed, locking the door and pulling my small wounded arm.

"Why are you mad at me, Leo? I... I don't understand why you're acting weird and mad since we arrived here."

I tried pulling my arm but he was stronger than me and I soon felt his cold tongue lick the blood tingling sensations in my spine.

Leo's hand travelled to my ankle and his coldness made a soothing feeling.

"Why are you mad, Leo? Tell me..." I raised my free hand and caressed his cheeks smoothly. He looked at me with his crimson eyes as he stopped licking me. His hands slowly move on my waist travelling to my arms and to my chest looking straight at me.

"So you seriously want to know?"

His aura changed. It was pulling me inside to say what my mind thinks.

"Y-yes..." I shiveringly replied.

He suddenly pushed himself close to my face making me lean on the headboard staring at him.

"I want... I want..." he huffed and mixed emotions piled up inside me.

With a blink of my eye...

The impossible scene...

The thing I've never expected to experience my whole life... Is happening.

Leo Heathly's lips locked on mine. Butterflies swarm endlessly inside me as I closed my eyes. Our lips slowly moved in sync and I found myself slipping my hands on his chest and wrapping my arms around his neck as he deepened his kiss removing any gaps we had.

After a few moments, he cut loose of the kiss and allowed me to breathe. We stared at each other and I marvelled in his beautiful face very close to me.

"I want your heart, Selene." A blush escaped my cheeks as he pecked my nose. "And I don't like sharing with other people what I own."

What did he mean by that?

Is he saying he likes me? I don't get it.
