ALEXANDER'S PAST (2)

When those children's red eyes bored into mine, they glinted with visible malice. They glanced toward each other, a secret kind of message, and then they turned to stride toward me. 

They grinned maliciously at me, "Hello, pretty one."

I felt my face twitching; I heard that same word again. Pretty this, pretty that. Everyone calls me "the king," "the prince," and some other vampires since I left the tunnel.

 Ironically, pretty is supposed to be a compliment, but it's more of an insult.

I didn't care if the vampire was a child, but he was a fat one, which reveals he was nurtured and cared for while growing up. 

I didn't smile or say anything, which pissed the kid off. He glared sharply at me and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

I grinned, "Oh, my bad, I didn't hear you. All I heard was an annoying chirping sound that didn't shut up."

He glared at me, and some other kids gasped at me like I broke some law. I rolled my eyes.
