Reveal

I can't believe I'm stuck in the middle between Alta and Silvana. I don't know how to handle everything that I know.

But even so, I try not to slip my tongue and say that I know everything.

I haven't seen Silvhari or even Alta. Even when we go to school, we are not together. Tito said it was earlier but he wasn't at school. I don't know where he went. I thought we were going to talk like he said yesterday but it's up to you.

I think she is with Silvhari right now. He is not doing her any good. It turns out that Alta is not absent. Even though he didn't listen to the class, he still got in.

Attendance matters.

Even if you're not smart, as long as you work hard to enter, it's possible! Other profs have sympathy, if you are unlucky you really need to work hard.

Just in case... where is Alta?

Maybe he and Silvhari are in another town.

I looked around the hallway.

Other students are passing by me. While others are talking loudly in the hallway, outside their rooms. I waited for Asmo to come to class but he didn't come. I don't know why he is absent.

They are still the same as Alta who is gone now. Is it that difficult to decide Asmo?

Layla and I can't choose who you want to save for life?

I sighed.

I stopped in the girls' bathroom to wash up. I'm overthinking everything.

My jaw clenched just by thinking of that Layla girl.

What is special about him?

Why does Asmo want to protect him too?

But what if you want to protect him now?

Let them be together!

A damsel in distress and a vampire protector! Let's see if Asmo doesn't get tired of saving her, that girl is still clumsy!

I slammed the bathroom door open. Because of my annoyance it got stronger so the person looked inside.

I stopped entering when Layla and I met our eyes. It is opposite the mirror.

She is in the middle of putting a contact lens on her right eye.

I looked down at that.

She wore contact lenses?

I didn't know that she did.

But why? Are his eyes blurry? He wears glasses sometimes, he wears contact lenses but he still can't see the road?

He still crashes all the time.

I took a deep breath and continued to walk inside the bathroom. She also continues to put the contact lens on her eyes.

I stood next to him and turned on the faucet then washed myself, I couldn't help but look at his reflection in the mirror.

My brows furrowed when I noticed her eyes. I'm not sure but his eyes look green!

Did I see it right?

I looked down at his contact lens case.

"I don't know you're wearing contact lenses."

It turned to me. She didn't expect that I would start a conversation with her.

I don't even know why I spoke. Just a while ago he crossed my mind causing me to be annoyed and here he is now. If fate is not really teasing me.

"Uh… yeah." He promised sparingly.

"For how long?" I asked.

"Since I was eighteen, my green eyes were weird to others," he said.

My mouth gaped.

Her eyes are green?

Is this girl cheating on me?

Suddenly I thought of what Silvana said that one of the characteristics of the gift of the moon is that it has green eyes.

Maybe it's just a coincidence?

Another thing is that it's silly because there are many green eyes in the world! Layla is impossible...

But Layla is human...

Maybe I'm just delusional. These vampires are driving me crazy!

I'm fucking out of my mind!

"There's nothing weird with your eyes. There's something about being lame," I said. I pursed my lips, I didn't expect to say that to her. I blurted it out without even thinking!

"Ah... I'm really sorry Adra. I don't even know why I feel like I'm so lazy, but there's always someone there to help me," she said and smiled. It's as if someone is going to be annoyed by the way he smiles.

He has plans to annoy me even more!

That's why he always wants to be lame because he has someone to help him?

Huh!

What is wrong with her?!

Can't he help himself?

I pursed my lips trying not to say anything to her. I didn't know I needed to have so much self control when I went to the bathroom.

"Good for you, because you really look like you need help all the time," I said before leaving.

I reached for the door handle but I stopped when she called me.

"Adra," she said.

What does this Layla need from me?

I get it. He wants to save more, so what?

I took a deep breath before I turned my back to her.

"Yes?" I faked a smile.

We look eye to eye.

Silence grew between us.

"Nothing," she said as she shook her head.

This bitch.

I muttered to myself.

I didn't say anything, I went straight out of the bathroom.

When Layla even tripped!

I walked out of school irritated.

Thank you! That girl is real! He even said he always wanted to help. What? Is that all he is?

I shrieked when Silvana appeared in front of me out of nowhere. I'm not completely out of school yet.

I just came out when he suddenly appeared.

"Oh Silvana? What are you doing here?" I said to him then looked at him.

She went back to her old style because she was wearing a dress again.

"You're back to your old style?" I asked.

"Nope! That's why I'm here. I want you to come with me, we're going to shop for new outfits."

I can't help but smile with what she said. That's right, sha-shopping helps me cool down.

Silvana is like an older sister to me, who's my best friend. Because Silvana is really older than me. But we immediately had a bond that I don't even know where it came from.

"Didn't you even tell me? I look like I don't know!" I said.

She scanned me.

"You? You look great Adra! Don't!" she said while laughing.

I pouted. "Tsk, because you are beautiful."

"Oh shut it, let's go." She laughed.

He walked first, I frowned at him when he stopped.

"Why did you stop?" I asked her, she's looking behind my back. I followed her eyes and there I saw Layla, looking at us.

Layla was coming out, she was just behind me but she was really staring at us.

I don't know if I was wrong but here eyes are meeting Silvana's eyes. She's the one who avoided her gaze and continued walking.

He passed Silvana and me.

But Silvana's eyes remained at her even though she avoided her gaze.

What is going on?

Why is it that if Silvana can look, she knows Layla?

I can't help but ask her. "You know?"

Only then did he turn his attention to me.

She shook her head. "No."

But I caught her looking back at where Layla is, seconds ago.

Hmm…

Does Silvana really know Layla? Or maybe he was one of those who crashed?

Well, maybe he was one of those whom Layla bumped into so he could just look like that, maybe Silvana remembered.

Anyways…

I don't want to think about it now.

My blood just boils.

"Let's go?" I asked him.

She nodded her head.

Silvana and I roamed around in the mall so much. I forgot what time we started going round and round. Silvana also bought a lot of clothes.

I wonder where her money comes from?

Maybe vampires are just really rich. I mean they lived for thousands of years so probably they know how to invest or what.

After Silvana and I went shopping, we also ate. We even thought of eating moon cake. I remembered again the gift of the moon that Silvana said. While I was eating that, my mind was wandering about what happened earlier in the bathroom.

I saw Layla putting on contact lenses. She said her eyes are green.

Just like mine...

Why do I feel like it's weird?

It's something that shouldn't make someone overthink like this.

But I am overthinking about it!

Silvana and I just finished shopping and eating and I was still thinking.

We thought of going home at five o'clock.

We parted ways when Silvana said that she will go somewhere else.

That's why I was left alone on the road.

As I turned I was stopped for some unknown reason.

I glance sideways.

It was as if someone had followed me. Oh, maybe it's just my imagination. I continued walking.

I closed my eyes tightly when the cold air hit my skin. It's not like it was that cold here earlier?

If it's only at night I'll think I'm haunted.

No case!

Even though it's five thirty in the afternoon it's still weird!

I stopped walking again.

This time, I turned my back.

My heart was pounding as if there was something behind me that was scary to face.

I pursed my lips and swallowed hard.

I swear if this is Asmo following me around I will fucking hit his hard sexy chest!

But this is not how I felt when he stalked me. I feel much more comfortable and safe when he is the one stalking me.

Maybe because I know he has no bad plans to do to me.

But this one...

Never mind!

I turned my back and looked around. I squint my eyes so I can see much closer and focus my eyes if there is something that will move.

I sighed.

There is no one.

Well, duh.

That's not really a person!

I shook my head and continued to walk.

Maybe it's just my imagination.

I walked again until I got around the pole. I sped up walking after that because it was getting colder around and I felt uneasy.

I glance sideways once again as I walk faster.

I turn around to see if somebody is behind me.

My eyes widened and my heart thumped like it was going to burst when I saw a shadow behind my back.

This time it's not hiding anymore!

Shit!

When I look at the road. I jumped and shrieked when Layla appeared in front of me, out of nowhere.

"What the fuck—" I cut myself off.

My mouth gaped at the sight of her.

It was actually standing right in front of me! His long hair is still exposed.

What the fuck is she doing here?

Does he intend to scare me or something?

Did he trip a while ago and now he's scared?

He really wears out my patience!

"Adra," she said.

I took a deep breath as I put my hand over my chest.

My heart is still beating fast!

Is she the shadow that I saw?

But that's impossible because he's human! His shadow is so different!

"What? What do you need Layla? Why are you so shocked?" I asked.

"I… I'm sorry if I startled you."

"You startled me? No! I almost had a heart attack from what you did," I said.

"I-I'm sorry. I just wanted to talk to you."

I frowned at him. I noticed how she squeezed her fingers. Is she shy? Nervous? For what?

It turns out that it is no longer bowed like before.

"What? Why?"

"Because it's important," she said.

"Is it important? We met at school earlier, you didn't tell me?" I asked, annoyed by her words.

Important, my ass! We met in the bathroom hours ago!

Why didn't He say that time?

There's a lot of time!

We didn't do anything but stare because I was looking at his eyes and his contact lens. I'm making sure if what I saw was real and true.

I'm sure at that time she was also looking at me, and thinking of what she was about to say but she didn't say it for some reason. No, I realized that she called my name before I left the bathroom but she shrugged whatever thought she had at that moment.

And now she's going to bombard me in the road?

Thank you

I'm so nervous because of him!

"What? What do you have to say? That's so important and you still chose to talk to me and say it?" I asked her.

She took a deep breath before uttering a word. I waited for her to speak, silence grew between us.

She looked me in the eyes, her eyes turned green.

"I'm the gift of the moon."
