Officially His Girlfriend

Nicole Jane's POV 'Just promise me that after two years, you're going to marry me." The boy held the girl's hand and smiled so sweetly at her. 'I promise! I'm already your fiancée, remember?" She giggled, then held up her left hand, showing him their engagement ring. 'I'm just making sure, you know. You know how forgetful you can be." He chuckled when she playfully hit his right shoulder hard. 'I don't understand you! You always have to tease me, no matter what." The girl turned away from him and crossed her arms. The boy poked her side repeatedly. 'You're so sensitive. I was just joking around." The girl remained silent, but a smile gradually appeared on her lips. The boy frowned. 'Are you still ignoring me?" This time, he tickled her, but she still acted indifferent. 'Oh, I see. You're really testing me, huh?" The girl felt the sudden absence of the boy behind her. She was about to turn around to check where he went when suddenly, the boy appeared in front of her. 'You thought so, huh! Let's see if you'll still ignore me after what I'm about to do." The girl was about to speak when... The boy kissed her lips. My eyes flew open, and I pushed myself up from the bed. I took a deep breath. Ever since the day I found out everything, I've been having dreams every night about a boy and a girl. But until now, I still haven't recognized them because their faces remain blurry. I wonder who they are? The first time I dreamt about them, they were enemies, constantly fighting like cats and dogs. Until they became friends, and now they're even engaged. Wow. It feels like I'm watching a soap opera. Could it be that those scenes were just from a show? I shook my head. I didn't want to worry about it anymore. After all, it was just a dream. It's been over a week since a series of revelations unfolded. But until now, I still can't believe everything. Moreover, fear still lingers within me. They're still vampires in some way. But they assured me that they're not the kind of vampires who suck blood from humans. They claimed they haven't tried that yet, and that they're used to consuming animal blood. That's why they're often absent. Because they're hunting. While I, on the other hand, have gotten used to witnessing their unusual abilities. Even mine. I stood up and prepared to leave. I hadn't been able to go to school for several days because I was helping them uncover the truth about my true identity. I even contacted my parents and asked them some ridiculous questions. In my desperation, I even asked them if we're really human! I earned a teasing laugh from them. They even mistook me for having a mental problem. They thought I was affected because they left me here. After finishing my chores, I yawned and walked out. But I was surprised when someone suddenly dragged me. As I looked up, my forehead wrinkled upon seeing Mikan. 'Let go of me! What's your deal again?" I asked her, irritated. But it seemed like she didn't hear me and continued dragging me until we reached the dormitory building's exit. I almost stumbled when she suddenly stopped and turned to face me. 'Why were you MIA last week?" Her eyes scrutinized me. I rolled my eyes. 'I already told you I had some things to take care of, right? And it was related to school," I lied to her. 'Regarding the school matter, why can't you tell me what you actually did?" she persisted. 'Because it's confidential. Something like that. I can't reveal it to others yet. So please, stop pestering me, okay?" I silently hoped that she wouldn't notice that I was lying. But doubt still lingered on her face. Thankfully, she didn't bother to ask me again. Honestly, I felt guilty whenever I lied to her. I really want to tell her the truth. But I can't. It would also put her life in danger if I involve her in my current problem. Another reason is that I'm certain her perception about us would change if she found out. Fear might overshadow everything. Because not everyone is like me, easily understanding and accepting everything. It's in the nature of every human being to be judgmental. 'It seems like you're having a serious conversation." We both turned to the newcomer. 'Hi Nicole! Hi Mikan!" Kira greeted us with a smile as he approached. I couldn't help but smile too. His positive aura is truly infectious. 'It's you. What are you doing here?" I asked curiously. He shrugged. 'I was about to enter when I saw you. Shall we go together?" He smiled once again. I nodded. 'Sure." Kira and I started walking, but Mikan remained in her spot. Oh, right. I almost forgot that she's strongly attracted to Kira. 'Mikan? Let's go." She suddenly snapped out of her thoughts and quickly followed us. She slightly lowered her head as if she was embarrassed. 'Are you okay? Your cheeks are red. Are you sick?" Kira suddenly touched her forehead, causing her to look up and blush even more. I scratched my neck. This girl's excitement is too obvious. While Kira seems completely oblivious. 'I-I'm fine. It's just hot today, so maybe that's why I'm blushing." She laughed, but it was clear that it was forced. I unbelievably looked at her. 'Seriously? It's hot? Since I arrived here, I haven't felt any heat in this place," I teased her. But it's true. The climate here is cold. She's just making excuses that are hard to believe. As we walked, we continued to tease each other. But because I wasn't looking where I was going, I didn't notice the car speeding towards me. 'Nicole!" Kira shouted. The next thing I knew, his arms were protectively wrapped around my waist, and my shocked face was buried on his chest, where I could smell his manly scent. Due to the shock, I couldn't move immediately. My heart was beating fast, probably because of fear. In reality, I could use my abilities if I really had them. But I can't do that in front of many people, especially human students here. I didn't know how long we stayed in that position. All I knew was that he held me tightly while his hands trembled. 'I'm sorry! Prince Kira! Prince Kyle! I didn't mean to. I was driving too fast, and I couldn't control it in time." I only snapped out of it when I heard someone speaking. So, I quickly moved away from Kira and turned to the man who was bowing and trembling in front of us. It was obvious that he was very scared. My gaze fell on the bracelet he was wearing. A human. 'Sorry isn't enough. You almost killed her. With that, you deserve to be punished." I felt my body hair stand on end when I suddenly heard the cold and threatening voice. It was only the second time I heard it like that. 'Kyle, maybe we can talk to him about—" Kira stopped speaking as Kyle abruptly pulled me away from him and held onto my waist. I felt my cheeks turning red. I could sense the piercing eyes of the women around me, especially the vampires. I felt like they'd bare their fangs at any moment. What kind of scene is this guy creating again? 'No. My decision is final, especially since my girlfriend's life was almost put in danger," he said confidently. My eyes widened in astonishment as I looked at him. What the hell? Almost everyone around us gasped. It didn't take long for them to start whispering among themselves. Meanwhile, Kira, Mikan, and I were left dumbfounded by what he said. Girlfriend? Me? Since when? Why didn't I know? At that moment, I wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole because of the embarrassment. *** Kyle Ethan's POV 'Hey! Will you speak already? How did I become your girlfriend, huh? Did you court me? Did I say yes to you?" Nicole continues to shout at me, and I've been getting tired of her since earlier. Honestly, I'm wondering why she still hasn't lost her voice. We're here in the mansion right now. As soon as the bell rang earlier, she suddenly dragged me here. I signaled Kira to let us talk for now because I saw that they were about to follow us. It wasn't just them who were surprised by what I said earlier, even I was surprised. But the moment I saw the two of them so close to each other again, that's when I finally decided to proclaim her as my girl. Call it possessive, but what I want is for her to belong to me only and have her attention. That's the only way I could think of to prevent any other guy from trying to approach her. Because no one will ever dare to mess up with me. 'Kyle! What's gotten into your head again and made you say that? When did we become a couple? Why don't I know about it? Are you kidding me?" She looks at me with intense anger. If looks could kill, I might have dropped dead right here and now. This time, I finally speak up. 'Good question. When did we become a couple? From the day when I said that I like you." That made her stop and blush. She's so cute when she's blushing that makes me want to pinch her cheeks. She avoids eye contact. 'Just because you said you like me, doesn't mean we're instantly a couple! You've made a decision without even knowing how I felt or if I would agree." I want to laugh because it's obvious that she's just pretending to be angry. But I hold myself back. I don't want to ruin the moment. I stand up and start to walk towards her. Suddenly, she turns her gaze towards me. 'Hey! What are you going to do, huh? Maybe you forgot that even though you're a vampire, I can easily match you!" She clenches her fists as if she's about to throw punches at me. With each step I took towards her, she took a step back while continuing to speak about random things. But I couldn't help but smile when she suddenly leaned against the wall. I placed my hands on both sides of her to make sure she had no escape. Panic was evident on her face. 'K-Kyle, back off! Do you think you're handsome or something?" She tried to push me away, but I didn't budge. I wouldn't allow a repeat of what happened last week. Instead, I leaned closer and whispered behind her ear. 'Why? What do you really feel? Don't you want to agree?" I purposely made my voice sound sad. Then, I kissed the side of her neck to tease her even more. She responded with a loud gasp. 'Don't you feel the same? Don't you like me too?" I asked in a husky voice. I slowly moved away from her and met her defiant gaze. I could feel her heart racing, and so was mine. I was taken aback when my gaze fell on the part of her neck that I kissed. My desire to sink my fangs there and taste her blood, which initially caught my attention when we first met, intensified. 'I-I need to go." I blinked as she suddenly spoke. I just wanted to tease her because I enjoyed her reactions. But suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward, so I decided to distance myself from her completely. I was about to apologize, but she quickly ran away. In frustration, I punched the wall, causing it to crack before I closed my eyes. She didn't answer my question. Now, I wonder. What does she really feel about me? *** Nicole Jane's POV I entered our classroom with a frown on my face. I didn't even bother to pay attention to my appearance because I barely had any sleep last night. I couldn't get what happened at the mansion out of my mind. As expected, everyone's attention was diverted to us. I let go of Kyle's hand before I take my bag from him. I entered first and walked towards my seat, making a loud entrance. I could feel the four royalties following closely behind me, including Mikan. 'Wow! You're really lucky! Your boyfriend is not just a prince but also the owner's son of this academy. And on top of that, he's so sweet to you! That's probably why you kept it a secret from me all this time, right? Now I completely understand why you thought of lying to me. But if you had just explained it properly from the beginning, I would have understood," Mikan said straightforwardly as she sat next to me. I wanted to open my mouth and say that he wasn't my boyfriend, especially not that vampire. But I chose to remain silent. I know that no matter what kind of explanation I give, no one will believe me anyway. Of course, they will believe whatever their beloved prince says. And now I'm the one who appears to be bad because I was denying that we were ever together. Yesterday, when Kyle suddenly asked me about my feelings for him, I really didn't know what to answer. Add to that is his attractive voice and the way he kissed me on the neck! It almost weakened my knees because of what he did. Thankfully, I managed to gather some strength somehow. But because of that, I completely forgot to answer his question. That's why he considered it as a yes! So, he told me not to complain anymore. Is that right? I went back to the dormitory in a daze after what happened. But I couldn't help but notice the way everyone avoided eye contact with me and how they brushed pass me as if I had a contagious disease. I became known throughout the entire school because of how quickly the news spread. Many people also saw me yesterday sitting in their seat in the dining hall, eating with them. It's a good thing that at least Mikan was with me there. I didn't want to, but he suddenly pulled me, so I just let it be. It's tiring to argue anyway. I thought that when I got home, I would finally have a moment of peace, even just for a while. But that's not what happened. Because as soon as I arrived, I caught Mikan waiting outside my room. I should have just turned back. But she already saw me, and right at that moment, I know that I'm dead already. She pestered me all night long. She asked me the same questions that I asked Kyle. I denied the truth about the two of us and explained to Mikan what really happened. But it was no use. She didn't believe me either, and she even screamed last night, almost shattering my eardrums. It's like I got what I deserved for teasing her as well. Then a while ago, Kyle's handsome face greeted me as soon as I opened the door. He was accompanied by his three henchmen who seemed like bodyguards following us. Even Mikan didn't bother to keep up with me! Hiro smirked mischievously at us. Kira, on the other hand, had his usual smile, but there was something different about it today. I just couldn't figure out what it was. As for Vince, well, what more would you expect from that guy? Of course, he had a scowl on his face, and it was obvious he was just forcing himself. I could only shake my head in disbelief due to the screams and the stares we received from everyone we passed by. Their screams grew louder when he suddenly held my hand! I tried to pull it back from him, but it seemed like it was glued to him because of his tight grip. That's not all. He also carried my bag. Afterward, he just stared and smiled at me as we walked. He didn't even bump into anyone. I couldn't help but feel uneasy. I stopped reminiscing when Mikan suddenly stood up and left my side. 'Where are you going?" I asked her, frowning. But instead of answering, she just kept walking away. That's when I noticed that Kyle was heading towards my seat. What is he planning now? But I was surprised by his next action. 'Wait! Why are you sitting here?" Suddenly, he just sat beside me. My mind and heart are about to get disturbed again because of this. It was fine when he was in the opposite aisle during the past few days. Unlike the first time he entered, he went straight to sit next to me. He smirked at me. 'What? Is it wrong to sit beside my girlfriend?" I was left speechless when he suddenly put his arm around me and pulled me even closer to him. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. 'Kyle, we're in the classroom. Come on." I tried to move away from him, but he effortlessly pulled me back. This guy really loves public displays of affection. 'So what? I don't mind them. The only thing I mind is all about us." I was once again caught off guard because of what he said. Why does he seem so fond of being romantic now? I glanced at Mikan when I heard her giggle. She had such a wide smile on her face! She was now sitting in Kyle's chair, with Kira beside her. I never expected her to do this to me, all for the sake of her own love life! I then looked at Kyle, who was smiling with his eyes closed while still leaning on me. It felt like he gently touched my heart with his peaceful and gentle face. He has really changed from the Kyle I knew before. It's quite different. Even though there were times when he used to argue with me. I sighed. It's over. No matter how much I resist, I know that I've already fallen for him. Who wouldn't? With every passing day that I spent with him, he never failed to make me feel and show me that he cares. I might as well accept it since I couldn't do anything about it. Maybe the events had unfolded quickly, but it seemed like this is where everything is heading. Because I do like him. Or maybe even more. But it's probably better to keep it that way for now. I don't know when it started, but I'm sure of my feelings now. I stared at his face. Indeed, I'm officially his girlfriend now.
