Dragged Into The Men's Restroom
Before I could even peacefully close my eyes my phone rings. Someone's calling, probably my mom but it was Jack.
“HYACINTH!” he shouted, I feel like my ear drums are already destroyed. “You're okay! Are you home safe? Did anybody hurt you?” and he just kept on asking me questions but I just didn't listen.
“O-Okay lang ako. I need to go to bed Jack, you can disturb me tomorrow,” I said and I hang up the phone.
Akala ko kinalimutan na niya ako but I guess I was wrong. I layed on my bed but everytime that I close my eyes I can see those bloody red eyes of the guardian who saved me.
Bloody red.

The morning came so fast, the sunlight coming from the window slowly made me realize that today is the day that I'll enter Cresent Bloodshire Academy.
The thought of going to a school full of vampires and wolves gave me the chills. Imagine going to a school and being surrounded by the not-so-ordinary people. I layed on my bed for a while, I don't want to go but then I heard someone knocking violently on my door.
I know it's not Heiro.
“Wake up sleeping ugly! The sun is shining brightly today and please don't tell me you've already forgotten about school!”
Because of the voice, I already knew who it was. It's fvcking Jack Hargreaves. Ang aga-aga niya, how did he enter my grandma's house? I hope he didn't climb on the gate again.
“Open the door! Gusto mo ba akong kumanta ng do you wanna build a snowman? Ha?”
“If you're going to sing, I think you're gonna sound like a dying cat Jack. Buksan mo, may kamay ka diba?” Pilosopo kong sagot sa kanya.
“You locked the door bobo! Come on open up!” he said while violently knocking on the door again, I swear kapag nasira niya ang pintuan I'll make him wear my grandmother's gown and make him dance like a stupid clown.
“Wait! I'll open the door,” I said. I lazily get up from my bed and walk towards the door.
“Wow, you look like you had sex with someone.”
“What the f—! Ang aga-aga tapos ganyan ang iniisip mo Jack!”
He laughed out loud. He is already dressed in his uniform, well it was kinda like a medieval style or you now somehow classy. It really suits him. He actually looks like a dashing prince charming but looks can be deceiving really.
“Just look at yourself in the mirror, your hair is a mess and your clothes, nevermind.”
“Get out of my room!” I started to push him away and I tried shutting the door but he's strong.
“Okay I'm sorry, I'm here because your grandmother wants me to give you this.” He gave me a newly ironed uniform. “That's your uniform, now go get ready because we're going to eat breakfast together. By the way, don't forget to wear your moon shaped pin!”
(Hyacinth's uniform)
Pumasok na siya dito sa bahay ng lola ko tapos dito pa siya kakain? Ano siya, sinuswerte?!
I kicked his balls because he wasn't leaving my room. He groaned in pain. Siguro masakit talaga kapag na ano yung talong:)
“Fvck! My kids!” He shouted.
“Kids ka d'yan!”
“Ikaw talaga ang magiging dahilan kapag hindi dumami ang aking mga lahi!”
“Tsk, hindi namin kailangan ng lahi ng mga manyak at hindi gentleman! Alis na!”
I closed the door, grabbed my blue towel and went straight into the bathroom.
After taking a bath and wearing my uniform, I slowly opened the door and went downstairs to eat breakfast with them.
“Sweetie, your uniform suits you,” Lola complimented. I just smiled at her then glared at Jack. Pagkatapos kong kumain, I grabbed my bag and hurriedly went outside.
“Hey! Wait up!” narinig kong sigaw ni Jack. “Let me drive you to school, mukha kasing busy si Heiro eh.”
I look at him, it seems like I have no choice kaya pumayag nalang ako. Habang nagdri-drive siya my mind wanders.
Today is going to be my first day on Cresent Bloodshire Academy, what could go wrong?
As we pass through the thick and tall woods napa-isip ako, napapalibutan ng maraming puno ang academy and I saw a lake and a bridge.
The bridge is the only way to enter the academy dahil nasa gitna ng lake ito. Cresent Bloodshire Academy is so huge and grand.
Pagkatapos naming tumawid sa black bridge ay ngayon ay nasa harapan na kami ng gate ng school.
It's big, black and somehow kinda creepy, the gate has a cresent moon shape design and it has now opened wide.
When I first stepped out of the car, I felt the cold breeze touching my skin. I looked around and I can see a lot of trees and benches, there were also birds. This school seems pretty normal to me but also a creepy feeling.
Then I saw the old man who gave me the red envelope, the one with the messy hair. He looked at us like he's telling me and Jack to follow him.
He opened the door to the school and then I saw a woman wearing a red dress, there's a crow on her left shoulder, well that's odd. She has jet black hair, a perfectly pointed nose and her eyes... they don't have the same color. The other one is blue while the other one is green, as if she is reading my mind she said, “Oh, I see you have noticed my eyes.”
“They look gorgeous, ma'am.”
“Thank you dear, this condition is called heterochromia. I had this ever since I was a child. Oh! I almost forgot to introduce myself, I'm Eclipsa Havershine the principal of Cresent Bloodshire Academy.”
She smiled sweetly at me and I already have a feeling that she's not a normal human being.
“Damien Rutherford! Would you please give her a tour in the academy? And please make sure that she doesn't get killed.”
I smiled awkwardly, baka first day of school tapos mamamatay ako dito. H'wag naman sana. I was about to say no kasi gusto ko na si Jack nalang ang mag-tour sa akin but when I looked around, he wasn't there.
When you really need him, he's not there.
Then suddenly, there's a tall guy standing in front of me. He's like a storm with dark hair and eyes, pink plump lips, he has this cold stare that could freeze you in a moment, he looks like a Greek god who has fallen from the sky. I couldn't help but admire.
“Pleasure to meet you Hyacinth, let's start the tour shall we?” Damien asked. I just nodded as a response and he smiled. Here I am on my first day in the academy and I'm walking with a complete stranger, well he's not really a complete stranger, he's Damien Rutherford.
Habang nakatingin ako sa kanya, I noticed something his moon shaped pin is red while mine is silver. He looked at me then he looked at his pin and then he smiled.
“So you've noticed my pin, you must be wondering why its red?”
“Yeah,” I responded shortly.
“Different colors also have different meanings. Mine is red because I'm a vampire and your pin is silver because you're a human and you already know what blue means, they're wolves.”
I gulped, I'm with a freaking vampire on my first day here but he gives me this comforting feeling.
I looked around and admire the intricate designs of the academy. Mukha kasi itong malaking palasyo ng mga hari at reyna.
Everywhere I look I can see the red cresent moon, I guess it's really the symbol of Bloodshire. Everything seems so luxurious and old fashioned, who could have built this Academy?
Damien was talking about something but I wasn't paying any attention at all because of the black rose that was on the ground.
Black.
“Hyacinth, are you even listening?” he asked me and I saw his sharp fangs.
“Sorry, medyo lutang lang ako today.”
“I am a Vendrion, also known as the elite vampires. We are in the second rank, we are powerful but not as powerful as like Verions or the pure bloods. You'll learn more about us later.”
I was still thinking about the black rose as we slowly proceed on our tour. Hindi ko talaga alam kung bakit iniisip ko pa rin iyon.
“Here have some lemonade, baka mauhaw ka dahil sa paglilibot natin.” Then he handed me a bottle of lemonade and I said thank you.
While he continues giving me the tour, I can see Jack talking to a girl near the locker. I think he's flirting with her and I couldn't help but laugh, there he goes again. I'm also eavesdropping in their conversation.
“Hey gorgeous, what's your name?” tanong ni Jack sa babae.
“It's none of your business,” sagot ng babae.
“Okay that's a cool name. Hi it's none of your business, I'm Jack Hargreaves and I'm here to take your heart away.”
I cringed, I think he's raised in a cheesy cornfield. I was too focused on looking at them and also listening to their conversation that I didn't notice that I bump into someone while I'm walking.
And I just spilled my lemonade all over his uniform...
“I'm so sorry mister.” That's only the words that I can say. Everyone looked at us and they looked like they're scared, what have I done?!
I looked at his pin and gulped, it's red and it means that he's a vampire! The silver haired guy looked at me like he's going to kill me.
“I'm really so—”
“Shut up and come with me!” Then he suddenly grabbed my arm, should I scream for help? A vampire is dragging me to my death! I'm scared but I don't want him to see it because he might take advantage of it.
“Hey! Don't drag me you little blood sucker! I have legs and I can walk! Where are we going?” I said while trying to gather my strength.
“You'll see for yourself,” he answered coldly. Then I suddenly realized that he's dragging me into the men's restroom. Where the fvck is Damien?! Seriously, I guess all of the gentleman here in Bloodshire are already dinosaurs, why dinosaur?
Because dinosaurs don't exist anymore! Their existence are all wiped out, ang natitira nalang ay fossils. Nakakainis!
Here I am on my first day in Cresent Bloodshire Academy and I'm being dragged by a vampire into the men's restroom.
What the heck is gonna happen to me?
