Wind blew gently on the campus, a few of the green leaves on the trees rustling. I sat on the thick stone fence, my feet just touching the ground since it was only a few feet high. My black bangs lazily fluttered in front of my face and I pushed them away swiftly.

My eyes were locked on my laptop sitting on my legs, but my mind was far from work. My eyes flashed up to the two figures standing close together in the bright light of the side walk. I could feel an annoyance headache coming.

“Make sure you don’t do anything dangerous,” she told him sweetly. I flashed my eyes back to the blank screen to stop from commenting at her noticeably fake meaning. Anyone could tell she meant something more than she was saying.

He leaned over her, the extra two feet making him hover right over her, and smiled. “Yes,” he said, and I twinged as I caught another fake meaning, “I’ll make sure to be extremely careful while I’m away. You do the same as well.” He turned and walked away smoothly, gracefully. The girl was blushing and looking at him as he walked with longing eyes. I tried to control the vomit in my throat as much as I could.

I couldn’t take it anymore. I snapped shut the laptop, making sure there was nothing to save before doing so, tucking it under my arm and heading back to my dorm. I shook my head all the way back as the talk between the two played over and over in my mind. That girl was so stupid to be so obvious about it.

My room was on the first floor of three. I was so happy that I was the only one that lived in the room, that I didn’t have to share it. But that was just a perk. The dorm buildings, all of them, not just the girls, and yes there are more than just the boys and girls dorm, looked as though they were made in the 1800s. Very beautiful, with the small gothic touch to it. They were made out of stone, the rough grey kind that was common yet still some how hard to find.

I walked through the entrance and went to the far, deep left, where my reassuring thick black door stood waiting for me. I unlocked it and pushed it open, making sure it was shut before anything else.

My room was about the size of the bedroom of a one bedroom apartment, small but still has room. Of course I had my desk and bed, queen-sized and low to the ground with a dark oak frame. My desk was the same type of wood. I had a black cherry dresser with all of my clothes and a cedar bookshelf that I had made by hand. It was my favorite piece in my room since I had done it all by myself. Up against the wall I had a stereo that I would sometimes listen to, usually when I was doing work. The walls were mostly soundproof, so I would be able to turn it up pretty loud without anyone else noticing.

On my bed lay my night uniform, and I groaned when I saw it. I did not look forward to work, though walking around the campus at night was always what I liked. The uniform was a close-fitting jacket and rather poofy skirt, though it wasn’t like a ballerina skirt. It was all black, and the edges of the jacket had a stripe of white; the skirt was just plain black, which I loved. There were leggings and shoes that go with the outfit, but I already wore them with my day uniform.

The normal academy students didn’t have a night uniform because they weren’t supposed to be out during the night, which was why I had the night uniform. The girl talking to the boy before had been a prefect, I knew because of the double stripe on the jacket. She dealt with the troubles during the day, like I had to with the night.

I had better not hear any complaining from her, I growled in my head, ready to snap at her even though she wasn’t even here as I began to get comfortable and relax before I had to go to work.

The girl was a prefect, I was a guard. She took care of the day, I took care of the night. At least she was able to sleep the same amount as every one else here. I was the one who has to stay up all night and look after the academy. There was a very important reason for me being a guard and staying up all night, or I would’ve thrown the uniform back at the chairman when he offered it to me.

See, our special little academy has humans as well as vampires, and we’ll get a werewolf every now and then, the vampires are just more consistent. And the boy the prefect was talking to was, of course, a vampire. Vampire’s have extreme beauty and it makes them stand out. However, the myth about vampires burning up in the sunlight or being hurt by garlic or crosses or holy water is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Seriously, garlic?! But, then again, if you don’t know about the creature, you begin imagining about its weaknesses or strengths.

Before they’re admitted, the vampires must swear not to bite or drink the blood of the normal students, or each other for that matter. They’re mixed in with the humans, some in the upper education, others in the normal education, though never in the lower. Of course, being a guard means being in the upper class, having straight A’s, and really having to be at the top of your class, even with sleep deprivation. Oh, how I love my life right now.

The basic, over all meaning of being a guard is making sure no one realizes the existence of vampires at the school and making sure that no one, especially the human girls, sneak out to try to catch a peak of the strangely good looking vampires. Normally, nothing ever happened and I would complain the entire time about how I had to do this when nothing ever went on, though busting one of the human guys for making pot on campus last year had been pretty fun. Sometimes there would be a small mess up, once or twice the human’s memories would have to be tampered with. After suggesting they should make one of the students think they were a chicken, I had been kicked out of the room for a few months. It was worth it.

I pulled on my black boot and zipped it up, now fully dressed in my night uniform. I groaned again as I looked in the mirror, trying to stall going to work.

“I don’t even get paid for this,” I mumbled as I walked out the door and locked it, walking out of the dorm the go on my nightly route.
Okay, yeah, kinda doesn't make much sense right now i know....the first chapter, none of mine do, so get used to it!!!!!! i have no idea why this came up fine, but my Vampy at twilight won't load.....i'm sad...and befuddled....how ever you spell that..:P any way, i'll tell you more about how she looks...
