me.
“I love you.” He said pressing a kiss to my forehead.
“I love you too.” I said absentmindedly, and I stared after him as he walked out the door. I sighed walking over to my laptop only to find out Aaron wasn’t on the school website to chat with me.
I turned my laptop off before lying down in my bed. I closed my eyes hoping that for once I’d sleep peacefully.


Chapter 5: Unsuspected Friendship
I woke up still tired, but I got ready all the same. I did my morning routine of keeping the groups separated, and was asked by several vampires were my sister was.
“Why isn’t Elle with ya?” Another vampire asked me and I sighed impatiently.
“Because she isn’t; just get to your class.” I said rolling my eyes, and he glared at me. Then his gaze flicked from my face to someone behind me and he walked away.
“These aren’t normal angel hours.” I said smiling as I felt the warm presence of Aaron’s aura.
“I know, but they are your normal hours. I just wanted to wish my baby a good morning. So,” He said turning me to face him, “good morning.”
“Good morning to you too.” I said smiling as he leaned down to kiss me. “You need to go back to bed though. Wait until the sun comes up, and then I could give you a good morning present.” I teased, but he bit his lip.
“It sucks that you have to stay up all day and night.” He said and I shrugged.
“It’s the price you pay, but besides that I don’t. I get naps in between my schedules; don’t worry about me. I am just fine, I promise.” I said smiling, and he slowly smiled back.
“Yeah, I guess so. Well, I’ll see you later so you can do your job.” He said, and I hugged him. As he was walking away I saw Adrian and waved.
“I love you.” I whispered only to see Aaron freeze and turn around.
“What did you say?” He asked me, and I shrugged. “Did you say I love you?”
“Uh, yeah sorry it’s a habit from our days of friendship.” I said and he smiled.
“I love you too.” He said making my insides feel warm.
“Have a good sleep.” I said, and he smiled walking towards his area.
“You love him too.” Adrian said as more of a statement than a question.
“I didn’t know what else to do when he caught me saying it to you. Honestly, I had no way out of it unless you wanted me to tell him our secret.” I said not looking at him, and pretending I didn’t realize he was beside me.
“Do you want me to come over later?” He asked me, and I shook my head despite the fact I did want him to come over.
“Why not?” He asked curiously.
“I am running out of energy due to lack of sleep.” I half lied. I did want to sleep, but I also wanted to spend time with Aaron.
“All right, well don’t be late to class again.” He said, and I smirked. “Also, try not to smirk like that; it makes you to irresistible.”
“I apologize Mr. Favian.” I said, and looked over to catch him roll his eyes before walking away. I sighed walking into an on campus grocery store, and smiled as I looked over and saw the apples. I grabbed the brightest red apple I could see, and I went to the cashier to check out. I ran to my first class shoving the apple into my bag, and during the class I tied a note to the stem of the apple that said from your favorite student. At my second break I ran to the angels side to help them get around like I was supposed to, and to see Aaron.
“Hey demon.” Matt growled at me as I walked by, and I took a deep breath.
“Shut up Matt. Or do I have to get you detention again?” I challenged him turning to face him, and he grunted.
“Yeah, play up being the dean’s daughter while you can. You won’t be in here forever, and once you are out there in the real world there won’t be anyone to protect you.” Matt said, and I swallowed taking a deep breath.
“That’s not true; she’ll have me.” Aaron said from behind me, and I smirked satisfied as he wrapped his arms around me.
“You wouldn’t be hard to get past.” Matt said, and I looked at him pursing my lips.
“If that’s a challenge I accept it Matt. Do not underestimate me.” Aaron growled, and I got chills from the husky tone his voice had.
“Don’t over estimate yourself angel.” Matt said, and I shook my head.
“Just shut up Matt. Trust me you don’t know what you’re talking about.” I said walking away, but Aaron caught my hand pulling me back towards him.
“Let’s get one thing straight Matt. If I ever find out you so much as touched her I will make your life not worth living. Got it?” Aaron growled, and I looked up at his face. His piercing gaze was set on Matt, and I put my hand on his shoulder.
“Whatever.” Matt said walking away, and I waited for Aaron to look down at me.
“You don’t need to do that. Matt is just a punk, and I know he wouldn’t ever do anything. Trust me he is the last person we need to worry about hurting me.” I said without thinking, and I cringed as he looked at me curiously.
“What do you mean?” He asked, and I shrugged.
“I just think there are more important people out there who would like to see me fry. Just don’t think about it too much.” I said putting my hand on his face.
“How can I help but worry about you?” He asked, and I shrugged pulling his face towards mine.
“Just try to indulge in the now.” I said before kissing him, and pulling away just to be engulfed in his hug.
“Trust me I do.” He said, and I smiled.
“Well, I have to go do my rounds, and you have to go get ready.” I said, and he rolled his eyes.
“Yeah, I guess you’re right. Can we hang out after I get out of class though?” He asked me, and I smiled hugely.
“Yeah sure whenever you want to.” I said then kicking myself mentally for acting so excited.
“Cool, so at like six I’ll be at your dorm unless that’s too late for you?” He said and I shook my head.
“That sounds perfect.” I said and he smiled kissing my hand.
“Okay, then I’ll see you then.” I said, and as he walked away I looked over to see Vanessa checking him out. I walked towards her annoyed that she would look at him that way.
“You had your chance. Keep your eyes to yourself honey.” I said to her and she turned to face me.
“Well, I’m just wondering if breaking up with him was a mistake.” She said, and I smirked.
“It was the biggest mistake of your life, but it was the best thing that happened to him. He is mine now, and you need to figure out where your place is. Here’s a hint it’s nowhere near him.” I said, and walked away with my head held high.
“It’s fine my mom always told me to donate my toys to the less fortunate.” She said, and I turned around.
“Please Aaron believes in community service, and dating you was just his charity case.” I said, and I stood there proud of her horrified expression as she desperately tried to think of something to say.
“Yeah, well I don’t want him back anyways.” She said and I laughed at her.
“I’m sure you don’t.” I said rolling my eyes before I walked away. I did my rounds without further incident, and smiled as I walked to Adrian’s class. I pulled the apple out of my bag as I walked in the class room. The bell rang as I sat the apple on his desk, and smiled taking my seat.
“Thank you Miss Faine.” Adrian said and I smiled.
“Oh, please call me Ahnallie.” I said and he nodded.
“Okay Ahnallie thanks for the apple.” He said saying my name slowly, and I smiled nodding. “So today class we’re going to work in partners. You’re going to write a short essay in class today and tomorrow. Then you’re going to present it to the class maybe.” He said and I looked at him attentively listening for about two seconds before my mind wandered. I kept thinking about how good looking he was, and how every girl in my class probably thought so too.
“So get with your partner.” He said and I looked around to see one girl rolling her eyes. I noticed everyone else had a partner, and I walked up to the girl.
“Angel or demi god?” I asked her and she smiled.
“Angel, how could you tell?” She asked sarcastically, and I shrugged.
“Well, no one wanted to be your partner so I made an assumption.” I said smiling back at her. “That and no offense, but you’re a picture perfect angel with the blonde hair.”
“Ah, that makes sense.” She said and I sat down next to her.
“Yeah, so did you ketch what we’re writing the essay on because I was distracted.” I said and she laughed.
“The teacher is hot.” She said and I laughed.
“That is not what I meant.” I lied trying not to blush.
“No, I get it. I was too distracted by his looks as well. Mr. Favian.” She said raising her hand, and he walked towards us.
“Yes?” He asked and I smiled looking down.
“We missed what we were supposed to be writing the essay about.” She said confidently.
“I’m sorry to hear that I wasn’t engaging enough to keep your attention.” He said kneeling next to us.
“No it wasn’t that. I just have a lot on my mind.” I said and he nodded dazzling us with his smile.
“Well, you are writing about techniques to give you the upper hand in a fight.” He said and I nodded.
“That is important to know.” I said and he nodded standing up causing a breeze which made me inhale the scent of his cologne.
“Oh my god did you smell him.” She said after he walked away and I burst out laughing.
“Sorry,” I said to everyone, “and yeah I did.” I said and she smiled.
“Oh if he wasn’t a teacher I would invite that boy to my room.” She said and I held back my laughter.
“Well, I don’t know if an angel is his type.” I said and she smiled.
“I can be very convincing if I want to be.” She said wriggling her eyebrows and I smiled.
“I’m Ahnallie by the way.” I said, and she smiled.
“I’m Rose.” She said and I smiled.
“It’s nice to meet you.”I said and she smiled back.
“Yeah, aren’t you dating that fine piece of man named Aaron?” She asked and I saw Adrian glance over at the sound of Aaron’s name.
“Yeah, but no offense to Aaron I’d totally cheat on him with Mr. Favian in like a heartbeat.” I said, and watched Adrian smiled. Rose burst into a giggling fit and I giggled along with her knowing she caught Adrian smile.
“Looks like he likes the sound of that Allie.” Rose said and he walked towards us smiling slightly.
“If you could try to keep your voices down, and focus on the assignment it would be helpful to the class.” He said and I smirked.
“Sorry my bad.” I said, and he
