Xiumin POV

-Tuesday Afternoon - 
       

As I walked to Ms. Johnson's classroom pick up to Saphira for lunch and rest of us but I have feeling that Kris gonna ride me about telling Saphira about how I became a EXO member instead of me coming as vampire.

But the time is not right and doing this right now is just gonna put stress her I mean it’s bad enough that Zelus put more people in the group for protection for her and her unknown brothers.

Plus it had to be those eleven EXO idiots too, when I could protect her I mean she’d be fine if she hadn't tried to protect everyone in their mother for that matter.

When did they started calling themselves that ?.

But ever since I met Saphira, it’s strange on how we connected at first I mean at first I want to drink her blood but then I got caught in her eyes.

Those beautiful purple/silver eyes and the way they mixed as well I thought that was impossible for eyes to be kind of that color but anything is possible in this world, this is filled with wonders and magics even though I lived for almost a century according Saphira. 

“ Xiumin, are you okay ?.” Saphira ask me 

“ Um..Yeah I was thinking about stuff .” I said 

“ Oh okay .” She said 

God ! What did I do to deserve to you ?. 

“ C’mon let’s get lunch and then headed to library or if you want we can stay in cafeteria .” I said 

“ The table won’t be that big to fit us and the EXO .” She said 

Do they have to sit with us. 

“ They don’t have to seat with us .” I said 

 Wow ! That sounded a lot less rude in my head. 

“ Well according to Kris, he takes his job seriously and so do the rest of them even though they don’t like it but they do their jobs very seriously too .” She said 

“ Well then lucky us .” I said sarcastically

“ How about we eat outside then .” She said 

I don’t think that’s very good idea.

 I then see Lily coming down the hallway but then I look around and we’re at the cafeteria entrance just waited for everyone else to come. 

“ I need to get out of here .” Lily said 

“ Why ?.” I ask getting concerned 

“ Because being stuck in class until lunchtime is suffocating me and plus did you forget that I’m pregnant .” Lily said 

“ I know and fine we’ll eat outside since it’s still nice out .” I said 

Then comes Maria.

“ Hey guys .” Maria said 

“ Hey Maria .” Saphira said smiling 

God ! I love that smile. 

“ We’re eating outside .” I said 

“ Ok but I want you to know that’s there’s a barrier around the school .” Maria said 

“ Oh that’s why I felt safe and weird when I walked to this school .” Saphira said 

“ That I would explained for your feelings and you sensing magic .” I said 

“ Yeah .” Maria said 

 And speak of the Devil here comes Min Soo, Athena, Erik, Lisa even EXO and they’re walking together. 

Ok ! Things have officially gotten weird around here and most importantly they aren’t killing each other like I thought they would but there’s always later right.

“ Things just weird .” I whispered in Saphira ear

She doesn’t say anything, she only nods her head I guess she’s in shocked from what she’s seeing it. I mean I would be too but who am I kidding I’m in shocked from seeing this. 

“ We’re eating outside .” I said 

“ That’s fine by us .” Kris said 

“  We’ll meet you guys outside then .” Suho said 

“ Hai .” Chanyeol said 

“ Chanyeol, you do know that’s japanese for yes .” Saphira said 

“ Yeah, I know but I’m multicultural .” Chanyeol said 

“ Ok then .” I said 

“ Yup .” Saphira said 

Me and Saphira starting walking towards open entrance for outside lunch but yet I feel something about Saphira and it’s troubling her as well. 

“ Are you okay ?.” I ask her 

“ Yeah it’s just there’s new responsibilities today and Zelus told me there’s twelfth EXO member but he didn’t revealed the identity of the twelfth member but yet I look at the other eleven they knew who it was and that made me feel like I was dark but then I thought how I would twelfth member would feel and maybe he’s just not ready yet to be revealed .” She said 

She’s so understanding like I said before what I do to deserve you. 

“ That’s my girl .” I said

“ I know but I can’t help but feel curious about the identity of twelfth member .” She said 

“ I know .” I said 

Should I tell her later or now ? But what happens if she faints from the news ?. I can’t risk that here in school on her first day. 

“ So how was your day ?.” I asked her 

“ Well it’s been okay .” She said but I feel she hiding something 

“ Spit out Saphira .” I said

“ I made an enemy in AP Algebra II class because some guy sat next to me but yet there’s something off about the girl and then in my third period which is AP English with Ms. Johnson but the teacher got strangely emotionally when I didn’t mention the Phantom by his name in the book .” She explained to me 

“ Well yes that is strange indeed but I must confess this school that you picked out is very weird .” I said 

“ When I shouldn’t complained because I’m kind of liking this school .” She said 

“ I agree with you but I have something to tell you later .” I said 

“ Why what now ?.” She ask 

“ I think it's better tell at home .” I said

God ! I never been this nervous since I saw Min Soo changed into hybrid.

“ Ok but after homework .” She said 

“ Ok Saphira .” I said 

“ Good .” She said 

And here they come, Damn ! We’re big group but sometimes I wondered about our fates and I wondered about Saphira's fate as well. Will she endure and live or she crash and burn saving us.

“ Hey ! Earth to Xiumin .” Min Soo said waving his hand front of my

I can please punch him.

“ What do you want ?.” I ask

“ Do you mind telling us, What in the hell is going on !.” Min Soo said 

“ Let me guess you’re talking about them .” I said I gesturing towards Kris and the rest

“ Yes .” He said 

“ They’re on protection detail for Aris and the unknown brothers  even Zelus .” I said 

“ Who in the hell is Zelus ? And what brothers ?." He ask

Wow ! short term memory.

“ The dean of students .” I said

“ Oh .” He said 

“ Yeah .” I said 

“ Oh whatever .” He said walking away 

What am I gonna do with him ?.

“ I give up .” I said 

“ Why ?.” Saphira ask  

“ Because I can’t get through to him at all .” I said 

“ Oh Xiumin, you will .” She said 

“ What did they do .” I said not really caring for the conversion

“ They ignored each other and pretend they don’t existed sometimes they can be violence towards if you’re stealing attention of another person that they like .” She said painfully as if she lived it 

“ You’re right .” I said apologetic

“ Thank you and make it work between you and him please .” She plea 

I can’t really guarantee anything but for her sake I’ll try.

“ I’ll try .” I said 

“ Once again thank you .” She said 

“ How was AP English class ?.” I ask her 

“ Kind of draining .” She said 

“ Draining how ?.” I asked her 

“ I can hear thoughts .” She said 

Crap ! But why didn’t she say something ? She could’ve heard about that thing. 

“ Oh I forgot .” I said 

“ Well it was awhile back but for some reason after that battle with Amethyst and I cannot hear your thoughts anymore .” She said 

Can we take a great sigh of relief for that. 

“ Well that’s .” I said 

“ Yeah it does but whenever you reading poetry I would listen to your thoughts .” She said

“ Wow .” I said 

“ Yup, but I had fun today in AP English .” She said 

“ Why was that ?.” I asked her 

“ Because guess who’s sit next .” She said 

“ Kai .” I said 

“ No .” She said 

“ Kris .” I said 

“ No .” 

“ Elijah .” I said 

“ Nope .” She said 

“ Lay .” I said 

“ Nah do you give up .” She said 

Unfortunately I do. 

“ I give .” I said 

“ It’s was Chanyeol .” She said 

Huh ! I would ever had guess that one in million years. 

 “ That must have being interesting .” I said 

“ It was, actually because his personality is just like Zelo from B.A.P .” She said smiling 

“ Um.. Saphira who is Zelo and what the hell is B.A.P ?.” I ask 

“ Oh well Zelo is k-pop star and B.A.P is k-pop band .” She explained 

“ Oh ok .”  I said 

“ Yeah they’re awesome ." She said 

“ Is that so .” I said 

“ Hai .” She said 

“ You’re speaking in japanese now .” I said 

“ Hey its like Chanyeol said I’m multicultural person .” She said 

I smile at her and I wished that we can stay like this but then the bell rung its time for AP Music.  

“ What class do have now ?.” She ask as got off the ground 

AP Music with Mr. Arellano in room 101 .” I said 

“ Oh I have AP Music as well .” She said

“ But .” I said 

“ But what ?.” She ask 

“ In AP we’re doing a musical called the Phantom of the Opera .” I said 

“ How is that bad .” She said 

“ Because I’m Raoul and you’re Christine then Kai is Erik .” I said 

“ Damn .” She said 

“ And then we’re going to be the sequel which’s Love never Dies .” I said 

“ What the .” She said 

“ I tried my best to be Erik but I couldn’t use compulsion on him because he’s drinking verian .” I lied 

“ Dang it .” She said 

“ Yup .” I said 

“ Who’s play Meg giry ?.” She ask 

“ Um.. Eva .” I said 

“ Lovely .” She said 

Still not happy I guess. 

“ Um let’s go .” I said 

“ Yeah, you’re right .” She said 

Luckily it’s right around the bend of the outside cafè for lunch. Once entered the classroom for Mr. Arellano that’s when the bell rings. 

He is built like Agony but he’s in late 20s and his icily blue and for his hair it’s kind of like Emma’s hair but in hipster kind of way.

He’s takes attendance makes sure everyone is here then we get up and walk to the theater/dance/music center for everyone. 

Once we arrived but to me it reminded me of an opera house that I once visited in 1880 of March.

I remembered that unfaithful day and but now I hate the memory so much I have to Min Soo to use compulsion on me, to get rid of it .

We entered and beautiful but the auditorium has a traditional Italian horseshoe shape and can seat 1,979. The stage is the largest in Europe and can accommodate as many as 450 artists.

The canvas house curtain was painted to represent a draped curtain, complete with tassels and braid.The ceiling area, which surrounds the chandelier is a 7-ton bronze and crystal chandelier.

I look at Saphira and she’s with the teacher, she getting her script and the songs but she knows the songs by heart literally. 

“ Dude are you okay ?.” Chen ask 

“ Yeah I’m fine I’m just worry that one of you guys will accidentally spill my identify of me being the twelfth EXO member in the group .” I said 

“ Dude don’t worry Kris promised that if one of us spilled, we won’t play video games or watch tv .” He said 

 “ Damn Kris sounds like a father .” I said 

“ Yup .” He said 

“ So I heard Raoul in the sequel is drunken, gambler and doesn’t have time for the son .” He said 

“ Really what else ?.” I ask him 

“ Christine has Erik’s son its not yours .” He said 

“ What !!!.” I said 

“ Whoa dude chill .” He said 

“ Chill how .” I said 

“ It’s a play its not real life .” He said 

“ Oh .” I said 

“ Now you’re chilled .” He said 

“ Probably but I have a feeling there’s something else .” I said 

“ Well there’s problem .” He said 

“ What kind of problem ?.” I ask

‘ Remember how the teacher wasn’t gonna do the kissing scenes .” He said

Please tell me it’s not true.

“ He deicide to do the kissing scenes because he wanted emotional and feels for it .” He said 

“ What about sword fight scene ?.” I ask 

“ Yeah that’s gonna be in there too .” He said 

It’s good thing that father taught me swordplay then.  

“ Then things got interesting .” I said 

“ Yeah they did .” He said 

I nod 

“ But I heard they hired a professional makeup artist for both of the plays .” He said 

“ Who ?.” I ask 

“ Don’t know .” He said 

“ Ok .” I said 

“ Yup .” I said 

“ So what scene are we rehearsing for today ?.” I ask him 

“ Actually gonna be rehearsing 4 acts today which means we’re missed 6th and 7th period then homeroom but also stay after school today .” He said 

“ Oh really .” I said 

“ Yeah so get comfortable .” He said like he’s gonna be bored out his mind 

“ Ok .” I said 

“ Also Kris told me to tell you that we moved in .” He said 

“ Moved in ! Where ?.” I ask 

“ Next door to you .” He said 

“ What !.” I said shocked 

“ Well the rest of us aren’t happy .” He said 

“ That makes two of us .” I said

“ But Kris has a feeling that one of us is gonna die soon .” He said 

What does that mean anyway Kris can’t see the future unless he can but there’s no way he can hide or can he. 

“ Really .” I said

“ Minseok .” Someone said 

  I look and it’s Mr. Arellano.

“ Yes .” I said 

“ Come on I need you .” He said 

“ Coming sir .” I said 

 I kind of jogged over and went up the stairs but stopped and waited for my cue.

“ And we're deeply honored to introduce our new patron, the Vicomte de Chagny .” Suho said as a manager for opera 

And there’s my cue.
