Chapter 4 - Chapter 3: Suspicious Behavior

Agatha

"Never forget why you're here…"

I jolted awake as I felt an intense bloodlust rush through my mind, making me go crazy.

I groaned from the intense hunger and enabled my speed to go to the kitchen and grab multiple blood bags quickly.

I forcefully opened the refrigerator door and grabbed as much as I could, I used my fangs to tear the plastic, and I immediately chugged the blood inside, but it wasn't even enough.

I drank more blood until I realized that I was almost running out of supply, so I stopped and looked at the floor; it was full of blood, and the plastic was everywhere.

I groped my hair, clearly frustrated from the intense bloodlust. I glanced at the wall clock, and I got even more frustrated when I saw that it was already 8:30am.

Alexander

I settled my bag on the floor beside my chair and sat in my seat. There were already people in our classroom, as it was 8:23 am and the class started at 9:00 am.

I opened a Doodle notebook from my bag, but I tried writing in it as a journal.

"If I were being honest..I think I can't really feel love anymore.

Whenever I see my ex in the hallway, I remember the past.

I hate the past, it makes me throw up.

If I were to love again, I think I would love an alien rather than humans.

In that way, I'll get to express my feelings without getting judged."

I looked at my journal before looking at the time once again.

I was about to write again, but I saw a familiar figure in my peripheral vision that caught my full attention.

It's Agatha, looking a little bit…tensed..

My eyes followed her as she walked towards her seat beside mine, her posture was different from yesterday. She looks like she's holding something back by how tense her vibe is.

She sat beside me with a sigh and closed her arms while staring out the window mirror.

I was about to reach out, but my nervousness stopped me, something really feels off with her today. I fidget with the hem of my uniform and look down at my shoes.

The professor finally began to discuss a topic in science, but I kept getting distracted by my seatmate, I felt uneasy, as I continued to feel her weird aura and just doodled in my notebook.

I couldn't focus on the topic, so I gave up as my anxiety continued to rise owing to her aura.

I stole a glance from her, but my breath stopped when I caught her staring at me almost like she was mad and about to explode. I quickly looked down, and my body tensed as I felt her sharp gaze on me.

Did I do something wrong? Was it my message last night?

After an hour, the professor finally left and so did everyone. I looked at her as she frantically packed her things and walked away from the classroom.

Agatha

I left the classroom as soon, as the class was over and I went straight to the bathroom.

I forcefully opened one of the cubicles, and the girl was about to scream, but I quickly pushed her to the wall and bit her neck aggressively like a starved dog.

I sucked almost all of her blood within minutes owing to my bloodlust, as it slowly calms down as the blood of girl enters my system.

I pushed her unconscious body into the toilet seat to bite my wrist. I opened her mouth to let my blood drop on her tongue to instantly heal my bite mark on her neck.

I sighed in relief as I felt my mind getting freed from the thoughts of doing a massacre in the school hallway.

I faced myself in front of the mirror; all her blood filled my lips, and my hands were full of blood from settling her down and accidentally poking her skin with my long nails. 

I fixed my long hair like nothing happened while my eyes were still dilated due to the bloodlust.

I looked at the cubicle once again before turning to open the bathroom door, but I stopped. 

Is someone here?

I held the doorknob, and when I opened it, I saw Alexander, and my eyes immediately curved a death glare on him. 

"What are you doing here?" I looked him up and down; observing his body language.

"I'm just gonna take a break." His voice stuttered a little, and he seemed a little nervous as he looked down at his shoes and fidgeted with the hem of his shirt. 

I purposely bumped into his shoulder to silently give a warning, and I went back to the classroom.

As I entered the classroom, everyone was just minding their business, and some of them were asleep.

I went to my seat and looked at the window, there was already a sunset, since it's the last subject's time which is science.

I saw a familiar figure in my peripheral vision, which made me turn my head and see him walking towards his seat next to me, and as usual, he was looking down at his shoes.

The professor finally came, so I fixed my posture as he sat next to me and focused on the discussion.

"Good afternoon class, there will be a meeting for 3 days including all teachers in all subjects, so we will just give a project, and no this won't be individual work. You will make a DIY telescope in my subject with an explanation. I will assign everyone's partner, so be ready and go to your partners as soon as you hear your name." 

I sighed from the professor's explanation, I clearly don't want to be paired with any of these idiots.

She started pairing everyone, and some of them were overjoyed while others just stayed nonchalant in their seat.

"Agatha Pierce and…Alexander Westwood." My face became grumpy as soon as I heard my name with his. 

I heard him mumbling something, so I glanced at him and he was also looking at me, but he quickly looked away with a shocked expression.

"Alexander" His name escaped my mouth, and he immediately turned around like a puppy.

A smirk carved on my lips from his actions, nonetheless I ignored it and began to discuss the plan for the project. 

"Let's go to your house to do it, I won't be available tomorrow all day." He nodded to my suggestion.

"I already have materials in my garage, so we don't have to buy anymore." He packed his things when we saw the professor leave the class. "Uhm…should we go now?" He added.

I sighed and grabbed my bag. "Let's go." I felt him follow behind me as we head towards the exit gate of the building.

"Hurry up, Alexander." I turned my back to face him; his cheeks flushed, moreover, he quickened his pace and went ahead of me, but I walked beside him, and saw a glimpse of his cheeks getting redder. 

After minutes of awkward silence, he finally stopped walking and faced a two-story house.

"Is this your house?" He looked at me and nodded before getting his keys from his wallet and opening the door.

He signaled for me to go inside, and I followed him. My eyes explored the area, it looks just like a normal house, but it lacks..people and seems to look big.

The project suddenly popped up in my mind, and I remembered I brought a pair of scissors in my bag, so I took them out to give them to him as he was just in front of me, yet he suddenly turned around, and my scissors hit his arm.

"Ouch.." I stared at his bleeding skin, and my bloodlust came back even stronger when I smelled his blood.

I held onto a wall as my bloodlust became extreme to the point that I felt dizzy from his blood.

I want his blood…
