《The Nerd that turned out to be Vampire-ish [Wattys2015]》CHAPTER 6: Will's new nametag

Advertisement

Today's a Friday and class starts at 8:30. I still have 2 hours to waste and a half. I usually go to class 30 minutes late and the logic behind that, is that I don't like to wait for the teacher. Most teachers I know arrives late, so I'll be late too, I may not be one of them but I like to play their game.

I went to Daisy's room guessing she's probably still snoring. I made my way in after knocking once. Daisy's right foot is dangling on the edge of the bed, where there's a big possibility that that will hit Kate's face – her roommate who's on the bottom bunk – if she gets up.

Daisy is obviously on the top bunk, she fell tons of times, magically goes back up and sleep like nothing's happened. And as always, her laptop is placed under her left feet, like it's a pillow. She probably fell asleep editing our film.

I took a paintbrush that was on her desk and gently run it through her dangling feet. Yes I'm tickling her to wake up, and she sprung up like a vampire that just woken up from its coffin. She looked at me with her laser red eyes and plainly asked... "Shit what time is it?!"

I lied. "Its 8:30." And handed her a towel and a basket full of her shower essentials. She hastily jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom like a zombie. I also returned to my room, timed her an hour before she knocks on my door and tell me it's still too early.

As I wait for her, I texted Jel and Allanah, asking where they are. Jel replied that she's already ready, and waiting for Al to hitch to school. I bet they'll also run late, they have to travel for an hour max, counting the heavy morning traffic in the city.

It was already 8:30 when we arrived at the school's gates waiting for the shuttle as usual, when a blue beetle suddenly stopped in front of us. The car's window came down, and a familiar face was smiling at us, it was Will.

"Hey princess, need a ride?" He asked with that princely grin of his. If this is anime, I can already imagine sparkles surrounding him.

"No its fine. We'll just take the shuttle."

"Just come on in hobbit." Tristan said without even looking at us. Will got out of the car and gestured for us to go in.

"Guess we don't have a choice huh."

"Consider this kidnapping." The nerd said smirking.

Daisy and I sat awkwardly at the back. I was about to introduce her to them, when Will got ahead of me. He looked at Daisy, held out his right hand and finished the friendly gesture with his perfect smile.

"Hi I'm Will, nice to meet you." He said to Daisy, who meekly took his hand, shook it, and said her name in a voice so low that a fly is the only one capable of hearing it. I can already imagine what's going on in her head. I know what you feel girl, don't let the sparkles blind you.

"I'm guessing she's your roommate?" asked Will.

"Nope. Apartment-mate." I said and Will just replied with a prolonged aaaah.

"Wait, whose car is this by the way?"

"Obviously mine." Tristan said in his usual duh tone.

"You were riding the shuttle the first time we met. So, I thought its Will's and you're his chauffeur."

"Long story."

"Short for, I-don't-want-to-tell-you story." Will and Daisy laughed at this, and I don't know if this is my imagination. Tristan was laughing as well, though there's no sound, but his shoulders were shaking.

"His car was still on the shop that morning. So that time when we met, I was waiting for him. He took his car from the shop first before getting me." Will as nice as he is, told us the real story, and it really did sound like Tristan is his chauffeur.

"I expected it to start with a once upon a time, knowing it was a long story." I exaggerated the long story part, knowing it wasn't that long.

"Don't wanna waste my saliva." Tristan said coldly as he parks the car at our department's parking lot.

"You're wasting saliva just by talking." Tristan flashed me a middle finger as we got out of the car, typical. I obviously happily replied with the double version, and a smirk. Have a taste of your own medicine asshole.

To my surprise he did it too, but then flipped his hands tons of times. There's no front and back version of that. That's just cheating! I glared at him and involuntarily stuck out my tongue like a white flag.

He laughed, and it was weirdly charming until he said, "Sucker".

I didn't realize that we were actually inside Cafa, when we were too busy multitasking, walking and fighting. The two boys went towards the lounge where people hang out, a large piano is placed on the side, for students who dare to play it. And if I'm not mistaken, Tristan is actually heading towards it, brave soul. While me and Daisy headed for the stairs to the second floor.

"See ya later princess." Will shouted.

I looked behind and said "Thanks for the ride by the way", which I almost forgot to say. He smiled and caught up with Tristan who was walking ahead.

"A ship will sail soon." I almost thought Daisy has gone mute, until now.

"Oh shut up... wait what ship are you talking about?"

"You and that cute nerd."

"Tristan you mean." My face automatically turned sour, and stuck out my tongue in disgust. "I'll put a bomb on his ship."

Daisy laughed and stopped, when she caught sight of someone.

I followed her gaze. "Shit." Our teacher was walking ahead of us and she's about to enter the room. Without words, we bolted after her.

After 2 hours of lecture my eyes started to fall on its own, and Ms. Carla's voice sounded like a lullaby. I almost jumped on my seat the moment I felt something cold on my shoulder. It was Allanah's hand.

"Holy shit. Why do you have zombie hands?" I pretty much asked the obvious. The room felt like a big ass freezer.

"They're making human popsicles. Anyways, wanna grab some coffee?" She easily caught my reaction and explained why it's okay to go out in the middle of class. "And, Ms. Carla's giving us a 30 minute break."

"Oh that's good news. My body needs some fuel."

Only the two of us headed out. Daisy and Jel chose to stay pasted on their seats, as they talk about boys and mushy stuffs. Al and I decided to buy them iced tea when we come back. We figured they'll lose a whole lot of saliva by drooling mentally out of those hot guy topics.

Our department has this mini café in the second floor, and they do sell some legit brewed coffees; also fraps, cookies, cakes, pastas, and a whole lot more. Most students with nothing to do hangs out here. There are also white wooden chairs and tables on the sides, for people to chill and litter.

As we waited on the counter for our orders, Will suddenly made an appearance, startling both of us.

"Hey princess." He said, and casually draped his arm around my shoulder.

Allanah immediately excused herself to the girls' comfort room to avoid introductions. She's pretty much uncomfortable with new people.

"Last time I checked, my name's still Victoria on my birth certificate." He laughed.

"It's just a nickname. If you don't mind."

"Whatever tickles your pickle...Glitter." I was battling between Prince or Glitter, but the second one fits him pretty well. His teeth sparkles like a fairy, and probably him as a package. Well not like Edward, Will sparkles in my head only, not physically.

One of his perfectly shaped eyebrow rose. "Glitter? That sounds like a cat's name."

I simply shrug and chuckled a bit. "It's just a nickname. If you don't mind." I repeated his own words and added a wink. He just laughed, again, probably has no choice of this new nametag I'm giving him.

Just in time when Al finished whatever she's doing in the restroom, our orders came out. Will insisted on helping us bring the drinks to our classroom, and this time Al has no escape. I introduced her to Will and vice versa. But she stayed quite, after smiling to Will on that brief introduction.

Will did came with us inside the room, which earned us a couple of stares and head turns. Well he's pretty tall, that's undeniable, and also has good looks to wheel that body of his. I can't blame the people who'd do a double take when they see him, I'll probably will do the same.

He's the one that gave Jel and Daisy's drinks, and even joked about it. "Delivery." He casually said and smiled, then turned to me. "Can I borrow your friend for a sec?" They simply nodded as he grabbed my hand, and out we go. Do remind myself to introduce him to Jel next time.

I waited in silence on what he's going to tell me. I don't know what's the big deal, that it has to be talked in private.

"Uhm. I have a favor to ask..." He said sheepishly. Omg! He looks so freaking cute.

"Fire ahead. What is it?" It's so hard to deny help to this beautiful creature. No one would blame me if anyone's on the same page I'm in. Right? This is simply charity.

"Can you help me with our project? It needs a bit of animation, and I really have no idea how to do it. I don't know anyone who does, well except you Princess, though I'm not sure if you do. Just wondering if do you, and can you?"

Will was looking on the floor, then to my eyes, and back to the floor again. I think the earth's gravitational pull is too much for his eyes. I was enjoying looking at him, that his words were like bees buzzing to my ear. All I remember are the words help and animation. Then I did some math, summing those keywords, and made a guess of what he's trying to say.

"Yeah, sure. Tell me the details later." I looked at my watch. Shoot. "My class is about to start."

"Thanks! That means a lot!" He hugged me, which caught me off guard. "I'll pm you on twitter."

Still shocked, my body stayed frozen as I looked at him running the hallway.

"Victoria. I think it's time to transform from a statue to a student." My teacher said as she's about to enter the classroom. After blinking a couple of times, I hurriedly followed her.

Then...there's my coffee, cold and forgotten.
