Even though his voice was praised by the school girls as a sexy tone that could impregnate their ears with just its sound, when it crawled into my ears, it was like a demonic growl!
Am I nervous? Oh my god, he actually noticed. Will he suspect me? Will he know that I already know their biggest secret? My palms start sweating, my throat tightens. My brain starts spinning quickly.
I instinctively clutched my heart and jumped in fright. Sitting amidst three vampires, I felt like a scared rabbit, easily startled, unable to handle any more surprises. It was as if there was a hidden spring beneath my seat, propelling me upward in an instant. In that split second, I felt transformed into a human rocket, ready to burst through the roof and soar into the atmosphere.
I tried my best to act natural, but my nerves got the better of me. In an attempt to hide my anxiety, I kept shoveling food into my mouth. It was a mistake. I ended up choking, and the next thing I knew, I was coughing violently. The entire cafeteria fell silent, and every pair of eyes was on me. I felt like the most awkward person on the planet.
My face flushed with embarrassment, realizing that I had made a spectacle of myself once again.
Richard and Annie quickly moved to my side, their faces filled with concern. "Are you okay?" Richard asked gently, patting my back.
Annie added, "Here, take a sip of water." I nodded, too embarrassed to speak, and took a few sips from the water bottle she handed me.
Taking a deep breath, I regained my composure and straightened my posture.
Luckily, my brain hasn’t been completely useless after all these years of not studying properly. I gather my wits and apologize for my embarrassment."Well, it's time to come clean. I'm actually socially anxious, extremely introverted. My preferred way of life is to mold mushrooms in a corner where no one knows. You ...you guys are just too dazzling. So ……"
I didn’t say the rest of my words, but it was already quite obvious. I just wanted them to be more self-aware, to keep their distance from me. However, my expectations were not heard by them, instead it triggered Annie’s sympathy. This vampire is overly kind and overly clueless.
Annie wrapped her arms around me apologetically. "My dear K, I can't believe you've been so lonely without me. Let me hug you, and I promise I'll be there for you from now on. I won't let you mold mushrooms anymore."
Can I refuse?
I hesitated, my voice barely a whisper. "No, let me continue in my original state. I've grown accustomed to it."
But Annie wore a disapproving expression. "No, how could I just leave? What kind of best friend would I be? Besides, can you bear to abandon me in this unfamiliar environment? Look at these boys' fiery gazes, they're like wolves starved for three months. Without your protection, I, the little lamb will be devoured."
I choked on my words, almost suffocating. "......"
Is this Annie's twisted sense of humor? Manipulating me with such distorted logic, doesn't she have a conscience? Oh, she's a vampire. Do vampires even have consciences?
And Richard reassured me. “We all have our moments of weakness. Just know that you’re not alone.”
More horrifyingly, even G, the serial killer, twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that could barely be considered cheerful.
I was so close to having a nervous breakdown and screamed to God in my heart a thousand and one times, “Please, I beg you, tell me what has happened to this world? How do I reject the vampires who are eagerly trying to befriend me? Waiting online, really really urgent!!”
Even though my clever excuse didn’t actually make the three vampires leave, I still silently congratulated myself in my mind. Yes, I was a serious social phobic. This reason was just too perfect. With this, I wouldn’t have to overly hide my uneasiness when facing the three vampires in the future. No suspicion, no danger. I wished myself a long and healthy life!
I managed to calm down, but my face was burning with embarrassment. I didn't know what to do next, so I just kept eating, hoping to distract myself from the awkward situation. But my stomach had other plans. By the time I realized I was overeating, it was already too late. I was completely stuffed.
The rest of the afternoon was pure torture. I spent the entire time in class burping uncontrollably. My classmates snickered behind their hands, and even the teacher gave me a worried glance. "Maybe you should go to the infirmary to give your poor stomach a break," the teacher suggested kindly.
The rest of classes went smoothly, and I thought my nerve-wracking day was about to come to an end. I happily packed up my books, using the excuse of promising my mom to learn how to cook, confidently declined Annie’s invitation to visit her new home.
I let out a sigh of relief, showing the only genuine smile I had all day. But in the next moment, my smile froze. I watched an excited redhead boy rush towards Annie, holding a novel in his hand. “Is it you? The Dark Angel? The author of the novel My Vampire Prince?” he exclaimed.
My heart skipped a beat as I saw Annie’s eyes widen in surprise. I didn’t need much time to think before realizing that she had been caught in the act. The boy’s eyes sparkled with admiration, making it clear that he was a big fan of her novel. I couldn’t help but feel a mix of tiredness and panic. This unexpected encounter could bring risks.
Annie hesitated only for a second. With a charming smile, she nodded and said, “Yes, that’s me. I’m the author of My Vampire Prince. It’s so nice to meet a fan!” The boy couldn’t contain his excitement any longer and started bombarding her with questions. He asked about the inspiration behind the novel, the characters’ development, and even hinted at wanting a signed copy.
With this red-haired boy's self-introduction, I finally learned the name of this poor soul who is very likely to be visited by a vampire tonight.Tom Fred, what a great name! It doesn't sound like the name of a vampire prince, but rather like the kind of innocent boy who would easily be charmed by the vampire queen and foolishly fall in love.
Ha! Then came a fierce debate about “whether vampires really exist in this world”. The debaters were Tom Fred, who innocently blinked his big eyes and firmly believed that vampires only existed in legends without any scientific evidence; and Anne, a vampire girl disguised as a normal person who was being very honest and admitting the real existence of vampires.
Little did Tom Fred know that lurking nearby were two more dangerous vampires, carefully disguised and keenly listening to the discussion.
When Tom Fred emphasized again that “vampires are just people with hemophilia,” Everything became absurd and dangerous. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. I was really worried that the three vampires in front of me would reveal their sharp fangs in the next second and give this silly guy a bite .
The stupid debate was bad enough, but now Tom actually turned his gaze towards me, and the question came unexpectedly: “This classmate’s name is Katherine, right? What do you think? Do you think vampires are legends or real?”
In the midst of planning to sneak away with my backpack......
Why is my fist starting to itch?
No need for you esteemed vampire lords . Let me take care of this i***t !
Well, that’s it. I guess I give up struggling. Let this world be destroyed!
