A New Friendship Started

I can hear the vampire boy coming towards me by speed. His speed is like lightning! I closed the door and held onto it so he doesn't open it. He was trying to open the door but after the sound of the door handle moving, it suddenly stopped. I got curious and put my ear against the door. I can hear him walked back and running toward it. I backed away quickly but I didn't make it on time.

The boy ran toward me then grabbed me tightly. We were on a hill and I had a great plan. He whispers in my ear, "Move, I dare you." I said, "What would happen next if I move?" I smirked toward him and jumped off the hill with him. We were rolling down the hill and got separated. The next thing I knew, I got off the ground to gather my thoughts. I thought to myself saying, "I need to get out of here."

I was running and I found myself in a town from above the hill. I begin to walk to catch my breath. I can smell food. There was supermarkets with food and I so wanted to eat. I wanted to steal and gain my satisfaction but I couldn't. If I steal, I'll create a scene. I don't want that. I remember getting a beating from stealing food.

...

"Stealing food, huh?! You little-"

I was on the ground, bruises all over my body. I got kicked in the stomach thinking I would die. I said, trying to get their attention, "I've been starving... please, just a bite."

"A bite?" The girl said, "I don't think so. What a shame, there's still poor people all around the world."

The girl has blonde hair with blue eyes. She has a high pony tail with luxury clothes on that looked like millions dollars! Her t-shirt was yellow with a cropped top jacket. She was also wearing blue shorts. There were two girls behind her just watching. Bystanders?

I begged, "Please, Chloe! I beg of you.. I need.. food to survive."

She kicked me again. She complained, "Ugh! You're so god damn annoying. How can you still be alive? You'll be better off dead. I hope you starve to death." I begin to cry at what she said.

"You'll be better off dead."

She then walked away with her two friends. What if she's right? Will I starve to death?

...

I walked away from the smell until-

"Hey, her eyes are red. Is she okay?"

"Is that normal?"

Are they referring to me? My eyes aren't red but they kept staring at me. I walked away from them but the whispering kept going on.

"She has red eyes! What is she?"

"A monster?"

"You don't think monsters exist, do you?"

"Of course not! But her eyes are scary."

I start to run away from the voices but I bumped into someone. I apologized and I looked at them. It was that boy! I was going to run away but he grabbed my wrist and said, "Run and I will kill you. I'll suck every last of your blood if I have to, demon."

Demon? What does he mean by demon? Am I a demon to him? He said, "First, eat. Your blood taste disgusting since you haven't eaten in days."

"How did you know that?" I asked.

He looked at my face then down to my toes. He responded, "It's obvious. Your body is skinny and your bones are showing." He sighed and insisted, "I'll pay."

I said, "Why are you helping me? What if I don't want to eat?" I crossed my arms to get an answer. The boy sighed, "Who knows, maybe because you're a demon."

"Why are you saying that I'm a demon? I'm clearly not!"

"Why are your eyes red then?" He sighed, "When I was sucking your blood, I saw some of your memories when you starved, stole food from others, and slept on the street. I went deeper into your memories and you had siblings. I recognized them and decided to keep you for the time being."

"Siblings? I don't have a brother or a sister. What the hell are you talking about?" I questioned.

"Your name is Averyanna Blade? Am I correct?" He pointed out.

I was shocked and surprised. How does he know my name? Is it true, I have siblings? But I have no memories of them. How is this possible? A vampire can suck a human's blood and see through their memories?

I nodded slowly. He patted my head and said, "Once you eat, you're taking a bath, your hair is greasy and your smell really bad." I blushed and mumbled, "I don't have extra clothes." The boy sighed and snapped, "Ugh, what am I going to do with you? I'll have to waste all my savings for clothes. Damn."

I angrily said, "Tsk, just don't waste money on me. I'll just starve to death." He said, "No way. You're valuable to me for now. If I keep sucking on your blood, I may inherit your powers."

"You're going to take my powers?!" I blurted.

"Shut up! You're causing a scene." He whispered. "Fine, I'll buy you food and I'll let you borrow my clothes."

"Ew, I don't want to dress like a boy," I disgustingly say.

"Well, you have to deal with it!"

It was quiet and awkward between us. I said, "I'm leaving." He grabbed my hand and said, "Leave and-"

"Or else what? Beside, I don't know you. Why would you help a stranger? What's your motive? What do you want-"

My body became heavy and I almost fainted. The boy caught me and I was in his arms. He said, "I'll get you something to eat. I'll take you to my home." I didn't want his help but he just insisted to help me. I just wanted to know what he wanted from me. Why does he care about me? We're just strangers..

...

I woke up panicking. I was sweating really bad that made me want to take a shower. I looked around the room but I didn't see the boy. I got out of the bed and begin to search his belongings. I went to his desk and saw his notebooks. They looked like work. Kinda like he was homeschooled or something. Who would want to learn? I saw some food on his desk and it had a note on it.

"I'll be back. Have some of this or you will starve to death."

"Huh," I wondered. "Where did he go?"

Why am I so worried about him? He's a total stranger and I don't know his name. I'll just eat. I took a bite of the food and it was delicious. The next thing I felt was being full from eating.

I wanted to know more about this 'stranger'. I grabbed one of his notebooks and opened it. I begin to read.

Name: Jafar Kill

English: What do you do for living?

What do I do for living? Well, I live alone so I make money by working at a supermarket. I work morning shift and when I'm done, I buy food for myself. It's hard living alone, no family, no parents, no nothing. It's no fun when you come home and expect something to happen. I used to cry myself to sleep thinking I will ever find my parents. What if they abandon me when I was little? Was I not good enough? Or was I not the child they expect me to become?

So his name is Jafar? Well, I used to do one thing. I used to cry myself to sleep. I expected to have someone look for me also. Maybe, we do have something in common. We have no one by our side. I sighed and flipped a page.

Name: Jafar Kill

Date: April 17, 2045

English: You have three wishes, what would you wish for?

Three wishes? That's not enough wishes for me. My first wish is to meet my family. I've always wanted to meet them. I have no memory of them whatsoever. I want to meet them so I can feel their love and warmth they have for me. My second wish to at least have a best friend. I have never had a best friend who would care for me, have fun with me, and enjoy our fun time with each other. My third wish is to at least, well, who knows? Have a girlfriend who would love me for me. I don't like girls who would play with people's feelings or use people for their money. I want a girl who would love me for only me.

It took me time to think about what he wrote. Should I become his friend? By the way, is he desperate to have a girlfriend? But I heard that you can't wish for true love. Huh, maybe he had nothing to write about.

I stood up and searched his belongings again. I saw some of his clothes and took a white t-shirt, and grey sweatpants. I needed to take a bath so I decided to take his clothes even though, I said I didn't want to wear his clothes. What choice do I have? I smell disgusting.

I found the restroom and it was cleaned. It was way too organized and I locked the door. I took off my clothes then turned on the shower. I got in and felt the hot water on my back. It felt amazing.

After I was done taking a shower, I put on my clothes. I was basically wearing baggy clothes since it was oversized. I saw a mirror and saw myself.

My hair is black and long around my waist, my face pale, skinny, bony, and my body was also the same. I was so skinny! How much weight did I lose?

I got out of the bathroom and went back to the desk. I saw more journals and went through them. I saw a journal that said: Algebra 2

I went through the journal and it was just all numbers! My brain was hurting so I opened another one. It said: Chemistry

I was reading and it was basically like Algebra just different. Mostly talks about how to describe and explain about the world. I went back to Algebra to at least memorize some of the work. I went to a simple equation that looks like basic Algebra. I grabbed a sheet of paper and begin to copy the equation.

2(x+3)+9-5=32

I was studying the problem to see what he did first. It seems like he multiplied 2 with x and 3. Distributing was it?

2x+6+9-5=32

He added 6 and 9 together to get 15 then minus 5. So that means...

2x+10=32

I had a question. Where does he get negative 10? Hm, this is hard. And why does he have to minus 10 with positive 10 and 32? What's all this about? I was struggling. I heard a noise behind me and I turned around. It was Jafar.

"Uh, what are you doing?" He asked.

"Doing this Algebra 2 thingie. I'm confuse."

"Why are you doing Algebra?"

"Because I got bored. I have nothing else to do." I complained.

He got closer and noticed something off about me. He looked angry then said, "Stand up." I asked, "Why?" He glared, "Stand up." I stood up. He sighed and said, "Really? You're wearing my clothes?" I blushed and said, "I had nothing else to wear. Your bathroom was waiting to be used anyway."

He giggled and said, "Need help?" I said, "Yes, please." He begin to help me where I left off. He explained, "Minus 10 with a positive 10 to get 0. Minus 10 with positive 32 to get a lower number which makes it to positive 22. Then divide 22 with 2x. Then your answer is x=11."

"Woah, how do you know all of this?" I said with amazement in my eyes.

"I go to school. Why? Do you want to go and learn?" He asked.

"School? I have never gone to school. What's that?" I asked.

He looked worried and concerned. He questioned, "You've never gone to school before?" I shook my head. He said, "I'll take you there tomorrow because there's school. Do you know the basic of math? Like multiplication? Division?"

"Yeah, I do! I remember studying with my brothers."

Brothers? Why did I say that? I don't have brothers. My head start to hurt and it was spinning around. I start to groan at the pain. Jafar asked, "Are you okay?" When he talked, the pain start to go away.

"Yeah, I'm just tired." I mumbled.
