Alexis entered her dorm room with hasty steps. It was two in the morning, and she had just arrived at her college dormitory. Locked the door to his room and turned on the small orange lamp that was on her study table there. Alexis was lucky to have a taxi on duty in the morning. She couldn't think of going home by bus earlier. After what she saw in the hallway, Alexis wasn't sure if she could truly feel at ease this time. Alexis changed into her pajamas, then rolled her body tightly into her blanket. Trying to get rid of all the shadows of what happened earlier.

"Shit, why should I see it all? W-what if he sees me? W-what if I become his next target? Not. No...” Alexis mumbled with all her worries at the moment.

Alexis got up and leaned her body against the headboard. And bent his knees and hugged her tightly. Alexis hid her face between her knees and her hands there. “I think… I won't be able to sleep this morning. Remembering how that woman fell straight to the ground…” Alexis' body shuddered for a moment. "I'm sure that she's already dead...." And Alexis felt a rumble in her stomach, and an instant nausea.

Alexis raised her head and rubbed her face with her palms roughly. “Shit… gosh…” Alexis muttered afterward.

Alexis took a deep breath and got up from the bed. Then slowly walked closer to the water dispenser near his study table, and took the water in his favorite black and white polka dot glass. Alexis drank it slowly. Her throat felt dry, making her feel sore inside. After finishing the drinking water, Alexis placed the glass on her study table. Alexis tried to calm herself down even though it seemed almost impossible to do. Before long, Alexis turned her body and walked slowly closer to her bedroom window which was closed with curtains.

Srak

Alexis parted the curtains, and opened one side of the window. Let the fresh air of the early morning into the room. Alexis tried to refresh her mind by enjoying the fresh air that filled her surroundings. The drowsiness she had felt even Alexis no longer felt at all. There was still a vestige of tension in her body at this very moment. Alexis closed her eyes slowly. And during that time, Alexis didn't even notice that someone was watching her from afar. Hidden in the dark and behind the trees. With both sharp metallic colored eyes towards Alexis.

"Hey, have you heard that this morning the lecturer didn't come to take the exam."

A student who had just entered the class directly asked with a loud voice to her friends in the classroom. What he was talking about instantly made the atmosphere of the class into an uproar. "Is it true? Wow... luckily. Because I didn't study at all!!” The other friends cheered in agreement.

"Alexis, is what they said is true?" Another student who had just arrived, named Liliana, sat right next to Alexis who was hiding her face on her desk right in the folds of her hands.

Alexis raised her head slowly. Now he looks very sleepy. Then looked at Liliana who was looking at Alexis curiously. Alexis frowned slightly, then shook her head slowly. "Not. I don't know at all. But I think it could happen. Because at least I can sleep…” Alexis answered slowly. There was absolutely no way to hide that she was feeling very sleepy right now that was there.

Liliana just nodded her head slowly. "Okay. Gosh, I really wasn't prepared for this test today. And… how sleepy you are this morning.” Liliana spoke again while taking out her cell phone from her bag.

Alexis widened her eyes slightly. I couldn't possibly say that I saw a vampire and was now scared to death. Alexis' mind spoke. Warned herself right now there that too. “Well… just my job at the restaurant. Last night we got a lot of customers. So, we had to close after the supposed hour. So that I become short of time to sleep and rest. That's all…” Alexis answered with a half lie. At least, Alexis hoped that would be enough to cover up another lie.

“You worked really hard. At least, get out once in a while for fun. You know... like going to a club, or some other entertainment venue. You've been such a geek all along…” Liliana spoke with her concerned tone over there.

Alexis shook her head with a faint motion. “That's not my lifestyle… I'm not used to enjoying leisure time in places like that. And also I'm comfortable with my daily routine…” Alexis replied casually. After all, she and Liliana had never been very close. They are just friends to talk to in class. And that's all.

Alexis doesn't really like hanging out with the nightlife like the rest of her college friends. She just tries to enjoy her daily life in peace and full of serenity. That alone was enough for Alexis to feel right now. Alexis finally hid her face again in her arms that were still on the table, closing her eyes. The noise in the classroom had made him feel a little dizzy. But not long after, the boisterous voice that had been heard for a long time began to turn into calm and only murmurs were there a lot. Alexis was curious about it, but the drowsiness she was feeling right now really seemed to overpower herself.

Tak

Something that slowly hit Alexis' head and made everyone in the class laugh. Alexis immediately raised her head and saw a Mr. Jolyon, her lecturer who is now standing tall beside her. Looking up at her with an annoyed look. Alexis was surprised and started to straighten herself. She looked so confused, surprised, and embarrassed all mixed into one right here and there. The atmosphere in the class had calmed down again, and there was no laughter there. "Sleeping in the morning in my class Mrs. Calder?" Mr. Jolyon asked in a soft tone of voice. Not at all matched by the look in his eyes that were bored there.

Alexis stuttered for a moment. “I-I… no… i-I mean.” Alexis lowered her head slightly, and closed her eyelids for a moment, before looking up again and looking at Mr. Alexis. Jolyon who was still standing right next to him. "Forgive me. I really didn't mean it sir...” Alexis finally answered with a small mumble.

Mr. Jolyon didn't answer immediately and just watched Alexis. "Next time, don't sleep in the morning class again, Mrs. Calder. Otherwise, I don't know how I'm going to score you on this mythology course." He said after that as he walked away leaving Alexis' side there. Heading forward.

Which instantly made Alexis open her mouth in surprise. Surprised by what Mr. Jolyon to himself, which seemed to threaten the sustainability of her scholarship at the campus. Alexis slowly tried to focus herself, and looked ahead. Where is Mr. The Jolyon is now located. "Good morning all. This morning we have to postpone the exam, because we have a new student. Come on, come on in." said Mr. Jolyon who directs someone outside the classroom to immediately enter there.

A man walked straight into the classroom. The women in the class, immediately muttered and admired the man. How not, the man looks very handsome. With a solid jaw, the line of the face starts from the eyebrows, both eyes, and lips that are perfectly sculpted. And the rest, the shape of the man's body is sculpted like an ancient Greek god. Absolutely perfect. And when the man stopped right beside Mr. Jolyon, his blue-sliced eyes began to stare intently. It was as if whoever he looked at with those two eyes would pierce his soul with a charm that had not even been consciously emanating from there.

“Please introduce yourself to everyone in here.” said Mr. Jolyon finally let the man go.

“Hello, my name is Adrian Harrison. You guys can call me as Adrian. And I am a new student in this collage. I really hope we can all work well together.” The man introduced himself in front of everyone in the class. And Alexis subconsciously looked at the man with a frown on her forehead.
