Monster Academy - The Blood of Humans - Chapter Forty-Three

Castle of Legends:
The next morning Darren wasn't feeling so good. He had barely gotten any sleep, one reason was because he was scared someone else would come and try and kill Alex, which hadn't happened so he had sat in Alex's bed, Alex safely tucked away, asleep, next to him, all night and started thinking.

The other reason was because Darren needed to think, which he did. It was nearly the end of his first year, and he had a big choice to make...would he come back for his second year and be with Alex...or leave all the craziness behind and stay home.

He knew that it would be harder now, since he was a half vampire, but everything was hard here, home would be compared a paradise.

But it would also mean leaving Alex behind forever.

These thoughts ran through Darren's head as he lay his head in his desk, staring at nothing in particular, as the teacher drawled on about Vampire Histories.

He sneaked a glance at Alex, her head was firmly in her notebook, writing down notes. She caught my eye and smiled, waving slightly. My heart sank slightly, how could he leave the only thing that was good in his life here?

"As you know students, the Half-Moon Ball is tommorow night, it is the final event of the year, commemerating your first year and your first step into Yokai Academy...making an appearance is mandatory and having a date is optional, have fun...class dismissed"

Darren stood up and grabbed his bag, Alex met him at the door.

She stared at me expectantly, i stared back, confused.

She sighed in frustration "Well, aren't you going to ask me something?"

"Ask you something....oh yeah!....Alex" "Yes Darren?" "Can i borrow your dvd of Vampire Knights?"

She punched him in the shoulder, hard. "Ouch!" He exclaimed "Dummy, i meant the Half Moon Ball!"

"Oh that....fine, Alex...will you go with me to the ball?"

She smirked and turned on her heel "Maybe" and walked off.

"...Girls are so confusing"
