Chapter 730 - Challenge
Kyle had decided to roam around the campus that night to look for the perfect place for him to spend his alone time. He did not expect that Zeke did not even prepare for him a room that he could solo in.
He was already told that he would be living in a dorm, but Kyle had thought that he would at least own a room to himself. But he was actually pushed into a shared room with not only one but with two roommates! How was he going to find his calm and quiet with that kind of conditions?!
It was not because Kyle was expecting some kind of royal princely treatment at all. He just thought that he needed a private room, even a small one that only he could have access to. But it seems like he was naïve to think that Zeke would arrange even that small privilege for him.
He should have known that this brother of his was truly going to make this a challenge for him, as much as possible. It seemed that he was expected to learn to completely suppress not only his actions but his vampiric needs as well, for every single 24 f**king 7.
Sighing, Kyle continued walking leisurely towards the nearby park that separates the dorms for the female and male students. The park was filled with tall and old trees. And it was actually a cemetery. The few tombstones that he had seen poking out from the ground were probably a few hundred years old, so the place was considered absolutely eerie at least from the humans' point of view. To him, because of this characteristic, it would qualify be the perfect place to look for his personal quiet space.
Kyle immediately realized why this school had put this park between the two male and female dorms. They knew that everyone will definitely avoid this eerie place, especially at night. This would definitely stop the students from crossing through this forest to meet up for some midnight parties or have some secret rendezvous.
And that explains why the most silent place so far in this campus was in this memorial park, named Sacred Park.
Leisurely, Kyle sat down and leaned against the trunk of a tree that seemed to draw him in. Looks like he had finally found the perfect hideout already. Looking around, he cheered to himself in successfully finding his hide out just after one try. He grinned to himself and congratulated himself inwardly and felt thankful that he managed to find his quiet place.
He needed this place right now because it was only the first day and Kyle already felt quite drained. He never would have thought that dealing with humans were this exhausting. Ezekiel had made it known that he was a prince from some mysterious royalty and now Kyle did not have a choice but to be aware of his every language, actions, expressions and even his body language before their eyes. He could not even glare or get openly annoyed at the ladies who kept on circling and hovering around him. That was the most annoying thing that he had to deal with. And just one day of that had exhausted him that he was forced to quickly search for his hideout A.S.A.P.! There was no way he could survive another day of being hounded by those fan girls if he did not find a place he could escape to whenever he reached his limit.
The fact that he had to maintain a graceful stance, smile and be polite to everyone like he was some kind of saint, and act like the flawless and perfect prince had drained him to his core. He did not expect this at all, and he could not help but curse Zeke inwardly. He was not informed that learning to blend in with the humans actually meant learning to fake everything perfectly. Was he going to live like this every day from now on?
Now his initial thought that this challenge was going to be an easy piece of cake had crumbled to smithereens already. Zeke apparently brought him here not to learn to live with the humans, but he had intended to let him learn how to be patient, how to control himself, how to keep a straight, unbothered face despite all the inner turmoil and annoyance… damn! How long can he last? He was not sure he would be able to last for a year!
Kyle ran his palms over his face. He would rather be spending time with the mafia, hunting bad guys and the sort, than stay here and learn how to become a perfect fake saint! He could only wish that Zeke had not disclosed his identity at all! But he knew this was Zeke's aim all along.
"Damn! This is going to be a hell of a ride, damn it." he groaned when something made him go stock still. Someone is here in this place?
His immaculate thick brows creased when he confirmed the movement that he had sensed was not an animal. Interest quickly flared in his eyes as he was certain that whoever this person who dared roam in a cemetery alone at night, was mostly likely non-human. Perhaps there was another vampire like him here on training as well?
He tried to listen to the person's heartbeat. Somehow, the probability that it was just another vampire was highly likely. But the thing was that he heard no signs of a vampire's heartbeat. Kyle did not immediately conclude it was not a vampire though. Even if the heartbeat sounded like a human's, he was already aware of some vampires who can disguise their heartbeats. That was the whole point of blending in with the humans, is it not?
So he had surmised that this must be a vampire in disguise and just had to wait for this person to appear.
When he felt the person approaching his way at a faster pace, Kyle decided to trip the person up. If he falls over, then, it must be a human. He had stuck his feet out right at the very last moment that most humans would not even be able to see at all.
A thud echoed out next, and he watched her fall. Oh, it was a girl and she fell… human then, right? There was no way a vampire would fall from that trip. But what the hell was a human girl doing way out here? And so late at night at that?
She turned around and the moment their eyes met, time just seemed to suddenly stand still.
