"What are you doing back home?" my mom questions as I step through the door. She notices Titan behind me and takes another sip of her wine. Or blood, it could be either one.

"I got bored" I admit and close the door behind us. My mom gives me a look, then turns her attention back to Titan.

"Did she force you to-"

"Mom no! I didn't force anyone to do anything" I say and walk to my room with Titan trailing quietly behind me. He looks around as he does, seeing all the paintings i've done and the ones my parents hung around. There are some family photos hanging around, but barely any. We're not one for pictures.

"Do you always talk to your parents like that?" he questions, as we walk.

"Yep."

"Why?"

"I don't know. They never complain about it, so I just do it" I answer in all honesty. We get to my room and I open the door before going to my bed to sit down. Titan closes the door behind him and looks around my room as if he's never been in one. My room is pretty bland, but he looks around anyway. I follow his movements, watching him touch my paintings that are hung around and pictures of me when I was just a little girl.

"Did you paint these yourself?" he asks, pointing to a random painting on the wall. I nod and look at all the other ones.

"They're not that good, but it's something to do to pass the time."

"No, they look so good. Makes me wish I knew how to draw and paint" he says, in all honesty.

"Want me to teach you?"

He turns around so quick, and looks at me with pleading eyes. I was joking, but I can tell that he's very serious about it.

"Can you?"

I find myself nodding slowly, causing him to jump on me and engulf me in a hug. He wraps his arms around me while mine stay at my side.

"Hug back, or I'll feel awkward and weird" he says, making me wrap my arms around him. He soon lets me go and sits next to me. I look at him to see that he's already staring at me.

"What?"

"How old are you?" he asks.

"18. You?"

"17.. i'm in 11th year, but I get to skip senior year so I graduate with you and every other senior."

Wow, he's that smart? Maybe he can tutor me or some shit since the elders think i'm so uneducated.

"Would you be down to tutor me?" I find myself asking. If he said yes, no tutoring would actually be done. I just know it.

"Will you really teach me how to draw and paint?"

I shrug and tell him yes. He nods at me, silently saying that he'll tutor me. We start to talk about many things and find out more about each other. I decide to skip telling him all about the vampire thing. Although, it would help him in the long run if he knew about the vampires in our school. Some of them are dangerous and just because they wouldn't lay a finger on me doesn't mean they won't go for him. Especially since he's a human. They won't hesitate.

My dad barges into my room after a while and stares at Titan and I, as we sit comfortably on my bed. He gives me a look, the same one mom gave me. What's wrong with them? Did someone take away their play thing. Yeah, don't even ask. I stare back at him waiting for him to say something.

"Who's this?" he finally speaks up.

"Titan."

"Why's he here?"

"I want him to be here. School got boring, so I invited him over" I say, wondering why he's asking all these questions. Titan gets up and grabs his bag, getting ready to leave.

"You don't have to leave, my dad should be going now" I say, trying to get him to stay.

"I should be going now anyway. If i'm not going to school, I should go back home and study" he says, leaving my room. My dad and I wait a couple more seconds until we hear the front door open and close. My brown eyes turn vibrant blue and my fangs extract.

"What the hell do you think you're doing? You don't just barge in my room! Especially when I have someone over!" I yell, anger taking over. Yeah, it doesn't take much to get me upset.

"Why didn't you inform us that you were bringing someone over in the first place! Especially some...human!" my dad says in disgust.

"Because it's none of your business who I bring over! You and mom shouldn't even be here, last time I checked you were staying with the elders! As far as I know, this is my house!" I shout, all in one go. My dad glares at me, but I don't back down. He grabs my arm, making me push him backwards with so much force he goes flying into the wall behind him.

"I don't like when you butt into my life, so stay out of it! Or i'll have to explain to the elders as to why my father is dead and buried in a ditch" I threaten. My dad picks himself up and walks away. He's probably going to be a snitch bitch and tell the elders along with my mom. Do I care? Not really. One look at them and they'll cower away like i've committed mass murder. I'm capable, but of course I wouldn't do that. Unless necessary.

I groan and put my hand into my jackets pockets. Feeling something in them, I pull out a piece of paper to see a number. Was this always in my pocket? I'm about to throw it away when I look at it again and decide against it. Getting my phone from my bed, I type in the number and press the call button. It rings a couple of times, before someone picks up.

"Hello?" Titan?

"So the little warrior slipped me his number huh?" I say, jokingly into the phone.

"You found it" he says, happily. I mean it was pretty easy to find and I wasn't even looking for it.

"Yeah, seems like. I'm sorry about my dad by the way, he's just overprotective" I come up with an easy excuse as to why my dad was acting the way he was. It'd be weird if my words were 'he doesn't like humans at all'.

"It's okay, I understand. You could always come to mine, my parents are pretty laid back" I actually consider the idea, since i'm bored and my parents probably left by now. He could've just taken me with him when he left earlier. He gives me his address and I tell him that i'll be there soon.

Another perk of being a vampire is the speed. You can get anywhere in probably less than two minutes. Titan actually lived pretty close, so I get there in no time. There's two cars in the driveway so it's safe to assume that his parents are home. Avoiding his parents would be easy, since I can just climb up to his room. That idea went straight out of the window as he opened the door.

"You got here pretty quick, I thought you didn't have a car" Titan says, looking around.

"I don't, you live pretty close."

"Oh that makes sense. Come in" he invites me in and I walk in slowly, taking in his house. He has a lot of family photos hanging around along with hand made things. Like crafted vases, flower pots, etc.

"Sorry if it looks a little messy" he apologizes. I shake my head, telling him that it's fine. Nothing looked out of the ordinary and it was sparkling clean in here. Don't know why he's worrying.

"Titan, is your friend here?" a sweet tone asks. I look away from Titan and see a rather short woman standing in a archway. She notices me too and comes to give me a hug. I'm really not a hugger, but who am I to deny her?

"Oh! I see you have a tattoo, and it's a snake?" she asks, noticing the tattoo on my arm. I look down at the snake tattoo on my arm and try to cover it. Even though she's already seen it. Titan notices and looks at my arm as well. He grabs my arm and holds it up.

"I didn't even notice this before, mom can I get one?" he asks, his mom. Is he trying to get me killed? I can't die, but still. Metaphorically speaking.

"Sure, Ti. Once you can handle the pain."

I snicker at that remark making Titan glare at me and cross his arms. I smile and hold up my hands in surrender.

"Sorry little warrior."

His mom looks between us and smiles widely.

"Are you dating my son?"

"No!" Titan answers for me. His cheeks are tinted with a shade of pink and he avoids my eyes. I decide to mess with him and put one arm around his shoulders.

"Would it be so bad dating me?" I ask, smirking.

"N-no, but-"

"That's all I needed to hear" I say, and step away from him. His mom doesn't seem to believe a word we say and walks off to bake cookies or something like that. I look at Titan and he shrugs.

"My room?"

"Yup."
