The class was such a mess. Everyone, almost everyone, is talking about stuff with their seat mate. I wish they'd shut their loud mouth. Were humans this loud? I'm here trying to get some shut eye, since I woke up at five in the morning and watched some videos of my very Korean idols with subtitles, because how will I ever understand them then? Then I couldn't go back to sleep because, well it's too late. Currently, there's no substitute teacher here which sucks. Nobody's here to look after the kids. Hopefully, I can get out of here soon.

On the cue, the bell goes off.

The Goddess above has blessed me-nah, she loves me. Thank you, oh Goddess, you really are a Goddess.

I pick up my backpack that I left stranded on the floor and my other stuff, then head out to the cafeteria. As I was walking, minding my own business which was just staring into my phone, I heard a familiar voice call out my name. It's time that I hit a wall o something

"Rune!" shouted that someone. I turned around to look at Conner, one my annoying best friend.

"Oh, hey Conner, what's up? Where are the others?" I ask him as I stop for him to catch up to me.

"I don't know and I don't wanna know. They can fuck off. I just want to eat" he tells me, looking happy as usual.

I sigh. "Uhm okay, but at least Jojo should be with you" They're usually together all the time. They'd bunk classes together to do whatever they do. Oh well!

He just shrugs as we continue walking towards the cafeteria. As we reach our destination, we spot our friends sitting at a table, probably waiting for us. "There, they are." Conner tells me.

"Greetings, my dear lovely friends. How was your day? Why are you two idiots late?" Jojo asks us, 'formally'. I wish he'd shut up too.

I ignore him and Conner just stares at him with concern, hoping that Jojo has not gone insane. Jojo never asks how we were, he must have hit his head somewhere. Conner sits beside Jojo while I sit beside Amelia.

"Just ignore him." Amelia tells me. "Y'know how he keeps loosing screws day by day?"

"Finally! Let us eat!" Jojo said excitedly.

Jojo trys taking my food, which I made myself from home. I slap his hand away. "Make your own food." I snapped.

"Aw, come on, Rune. Can't I have some?" he asks.

"No. Go ask your mother. If she loves you she would cook for you." says Amelia.

"Amelia, don't say those stuff. You know that his mom literally deposited him here so she doesn't have to bare him the whole day. The poor thing." Conner says, jokingly.

Amelia laughs and so does Jojo, I was staring somewhere else. I has spotted Rhaegal with his team, I ignored him for the rest of the while. Then I spotted her. The most beautiful girl of them all. I sometimes ask myself why do I even like her. And the only answer to myself is 'I don't know and I don't care'. Even if Jewel was a cheerleader, she wasn't, well, mean like the usual ones that we see on shows or movies. She was just effortlessly nice to everyone, that's one thing I love about her. Wait, why do people think cheerleaders are rude in the first place? Some of them are chill.

"Pay attention to me." Amelia butted in as I was admiring my crush. She's technically not my crush, I just simp for her. Also, wow. Humans love attention, I suppose.

"Shut up and eat." I tell her.

I take a bite from my burger as I keep thinking about Jewel. I'm pretty certain I have my next class with her.

I was on my way home from school while eating a bag of chips. I was also with my annoying twin brother whose right next to me, stealing my chips.

"Bitch, can you not?" I snapped.

"No, bitch." he answers.

For some reason, we love calling each other bitch.

"You can't keep stealing my food! Whose gonna make you food when you're alone?"I ask him.

"First of all, my fiancé will cook for me and second of all I am not alone right now."he retorted.

"Are you sure you can get a fiancé?" I ask him, teasingly.

"Shut up." he says. "We're vampires, you stupid. We don't need to get a fiancé, we're already destined to meet them."

"Whatever, now give me what I need." I demand from him.

"Okay, well, Jewel told me to say hi to you, since, you know, you're my sister and all that." he says. I usually take Rae's help to some info about Jewel, because he knows her well. He's like my own personal spy, as creepy as it sounds. He would let me know anything about Jewel when I needed to know. He's a great twin.

"Oh, that's all? Sometimes you're just a useless creature." I tell him. But I'm sure I sounded like a stalker asking him this. Did I simp for her or is it just pure obsession?

"Excuse moi, but did Amelia tell you that Jewel actually invited you to the annual carnival, which is next month?" Rae asks.

"What?! Are you serious?" I exclaimed.

"Yes. So, technically Amelia is a useless creature and I'm an amazing twin brother." he says, cheerfully. "No need to thank me."

"I seriously can't believe she didn't tell me this." I'm offended. She didn't let me know but wanted me to join. What the hell? I'm supposed to be her best friend.

"You have to admit, I'm a best big brother you'll ever get." he said, satisfactorily.

"No." I said with a straight face.

As we reach home, I open the door and shut it behind me, leaving Rae outside. I call out to mom to let us know that her pesky little babies are home. I could hear her sigh from the kitchen. Rae walks in after I left it outside on his own. The first thing he did was swat my head.

"How was your day, kids?" she asks us.

"Oh, you know, the usual. Homework, lectures and notes." Rae answers her. I'm pretty sure he slept in most of his classes. But he keeps getting good grades.

"I tried sleeping during class." I tell her and immediately go upstairs to my room. I could hear her asking 'what' from downstairs, followed by Rae's laughter.

First things first, I need to do my homework, which is only a little. Thank goodness. After that I need to call Amelia, to ask her why the hell she hadn't informed me about Jewel inviting me to the carnival. But also, gush about the fact that I'm invited.

It's when I'm in the midst of doing my homework, I get a call from Amelia. I picked up my phone and answered the call.

"What the hell Lia? Why didn't you tell me about Jewel inviting me?" I ask her. No greeting or whatever, I just got straight-that I'm definitely not-- to the point.

"Oh, you found out yourself. Well, I forgot and I was you calling you now, to tell you this." she answers.

"You are very forgetful these days, my dear." I tell her, in a monotonous manner.

"Yeah....also you have competition." I hear her say. Uhm, okay. But what?

"What?" I blurted out to her.

"It's this girl, named Melissa." she whispered to me through the phone, and I frown with confusion.

Like... why is she telling me this? This woman even hung up on me. What the fuck? What was she talking about? Anyways, let's see if this Melissa is cute enough-what am I thinking?
