My Vampire Boyfriend

Chapter Two: Aveial

FINALLY, the class is already finished but despite that Euey is still dreading to go home especially when she knows who is waiting at her at the school’s exit. But she really can’t do anything about it knowing how long that guy is waiting for her outside despite his schedule. 

He seems to immediately spot her and his eyes brighten up like a star as he walked near her. “Rina!” out of all the people that she knows Aveial is the only person that seems to call her by that name. 

He pounces on her as he got near which she already expected as usual so she didn’t lose her balance unlike the before and even though with his lanky build he already surpasses her height but still not gaining weight in her own opinion. 

As soon as he hugs her he releases her fast, she just thank heaven that she’s already used to it or someone will have a taste of her punch. As if in an automatic mode, he grabbed her bag walk on her own pace. Maybe if someone will see them there is a huge possibility that the guy is her boyfriend but the truth is it’s not, well… sort of. 

“Hey, Mr. Servant, can you also carry this Beauty’s Bag?” Reese said mockingly at her side. 

“Beauty? Who?” then Ave looks at her from head to toe. “You more look like a beast to me.” 

Before there bickering starts she cut off their conversation. “Children can we just go home in peace?” 

Even though they granted her wish she knows that they are still teasing each other behind her. For some reason, her best friend and childhood friend doesn’t agree with each other. Since both of them are so possessive on her attention she just let them be beside there only like to bicker with each other so no harm is done. 

It’s been a daily routine with them and even though Aveial is the student council president much to his disdain they always walk home together. They always wait for each other and vice versa because of no matter what other is saying she’s already used to Ave’s presence every single day. 

There may be times that he’s irritating the s**t out her he’s the one and only guy besides his father that she trusted the most. 

Aveial Lumiere is her closest friend ever since she can remember, he’s always prone to bullying because of his weak state and even though he’s tall and doesn’t have any sickness he is always an easy target. She was always his savior but now he is the one protecting her against those nasty rumors especially that he has the powers to suppress everything within the school grounds. 

He may be tall and exceptionally good at studying the reason why he became the appointed president of the student council for her he is still that kid who likes to cry when everyone is ganging upon him. 

He always, always does whatever she asks like a loyal puppy even though in reality he’s 2 years older than her and in senior high school no one can guess that because of the way he always treats her.

They both have the same date of birth with a different year and they always celebrate it together, she even remembers that one silly promise that the teenage Ave said to her. 

When they both finished blowing there candles Ave drag her at the back of the garden saying that he wants to give a gift just for her. 

“Why do you need to give your gift here?” she asked and as a kid, she can’t help but be curious about what is happening.

“I want my gift for you to be special.” 

“Then would you give it to me now?” 

He gingerly touches her face and in just a matter of second, he gave her a fleeting kiss on her lips. A kiss that is sweeter than any other candies that she tastes, it just for a split second but the taste lingers. She could feel her heart hammering in her chest and it seems that she can’t voice out her complaints. 

Then he says something in French but she can’t understand it even for a bit.

“Nous serons Toujours ensemble pour l'éternité ”

“What does that mean?” she frowned. 

But he just mysteriously smiled at her. “It means a happy birthday, Rina.” 

She doubtfully looks at him because she feels that isn’t what that sentence is meant.

Annoyed she punches him in the chest. “i***t, that’s not what I’m asking.” 

“That kiss is my gift to you provided that I will be your boyfriend when you turned eighteen.” 

“Hey! Who told you that you can be my boyfriend?” 

“Remember when we are kids? You told me that the first person that you will kiss will be your boyfriend.” He cunningly said and all she could do is glare at him. 

She doesn’t even remember that promise well since it was only said by her childish mouth yet this i***t even has the gall to use that against her? 

In the end, she angrily shoves his gift to him because she can’t say anything to refute him. That’s when that crybaby friend suddenly transformed one hundred eighty degrees and became a mischievous and chatty guy. 

She can’t help but smile at herself but for now, she has no idea what emotion she is feeling for her childhood friend because how can she know it in the first place? She still hasn’t got a chance to fall in love or even have a crush so how can she say that she loves him when in the first place she doesn’t have any idea about that those. 

“Hey, are you thinking about me?” Ave said in a very confident voice. 

“Yes, in your dreams.” She walks faster but as usual, he easily catches up with her. 

“You’re too conceited Ave.” Reese chimed beside her. 

“Who are you again? Shoo, shoo do your own business.” 

“My business is making sure that my best friend will get home safe,” Reese said between her gritted teeth. 

“And what do you mean by that?” 

But instead of answering, Reese grabs her hand but before they even got the chance to run away Ave already got her opposite hand and since no one seems to want to lose she looks like a freaking rope between their tug of war. 

Why am I even in this place?  Rina can’t help but ask the clouds up above before she loses her patience in these two.
