Chapter 2

Annah swore she was an inch away from clobbering his smirk off his face with the tray on her hands. He always say the right words to throw her off in anger. He wore smugness on his face with his icy gray eyes, matching so annoyingly well with his silver blonde hair. But she wont admit it to anyone even it means life or death scenario.

Among the purebloods in the school, Ricco Kwon has the only one with such cold gray eyes, a typical trait of the line of the Kwon, the blood of the royalty.

"Shut up, Kwon." Annah growled under her breath but his smirk wont go anywhere even if she bled her eyes out from glaring passionately at him.

Ricco leaned over to her direction and whispered sweetly. "Bottom feeder...just like your parents."

And Annah should always get used to his hurtful words. It'd been two years since he was doing this to her. But every time he involved her parents, she always felt rage. With a clenched fists after she openly dropped the tray down her feet, she then attacked him with a single punch on his face.

The scene garnered a lot of attentions from purebloods and hybrids.

Ricco was instantly sent down the floor with Annah hovering above him and unceasingly punched him on his chest that he coughed in pain.

Ricco's friends immediately got Annah off him and helped him up.

"Annah!" Maine was immediately on her side to bring her up from sprawling in the floor. "What were you thinking?!"

"Let me off." Annah said in low voice still glaring at Ricco who was wincing on the pain on his chest.

"Bottom feeder bitch." Ricco snarled.

"Oh yeah. Watch your back at night, Kwon or this bottom feeder your calling, shall be the one to suck your blood dry." Annah growled which made Maine and the others gasped loudly at her threat. No one. As in not a single soul should dare threat a pureblood. And a Kwon of all, the son of the current ruler of the race who have the absolute distaste of all the hybrid vampire.

"The king will hear all of this, mongrel!" Luna, a pureblood who sided Ricco all the time, screamed in anger.

"You dare threat the king's son?! A pureblood!" Shouted Gideon.

"You shall burn in the king's court!" Added Basik and pointed at her.

"Oh I can't wait." Annah only said, swatted off her friend's hold on her even though they themselves felt scared of the purebloods' words.

"What is happening here?" Jason Hyun, a member of the academy prefect, asked as he got into the crowd. He saw that Annah was yet involved into another catfight with the Kwon. "Annah?"

Annah's glare immediately left from Ricco and went to Jason, her boyfriend.

"Oh look, your knight comes to the rescue, mongrel." Ricco spat.

"That is not nice, Mr. Kwon." Jason said in serious face.

"Don't even say my name you filthy bastard." Ricco shot back to him.

All of the hybrids became quite agitated at Ricco's words since Jason led all the hybrids in the school.

"Try saying that again and I wont think twice to discipline your misbehavior."

All the purebloods were also on the edge too after Jason's warning.

Ricco stepped dangerously towards Jason. "You? You shall discipline me? Don't make me laugh, filth." he spoke while a portion of his fangs were showing as he spoke. His eyes turned more cold than it usually be.

"As the prefect of the school, it's my responsibility to control the rabid attitude of all students." Jason said calmly, holding his silver scepter before Ricco who only looked at it in nonchalance as if not afraid for how it actually hurt to be hit by it.

"Then let start with your girlfriend, shall we?" Ricco challenged and looked at Annah with coldness.

"She attacked him first." Luna reinforced.

Jason's brows twitched before his eyes fell to the woman on his left side.

Annah actually jolted at the accusing look of her guy before she looked down.

"Is that true, Annah?" Jason asked but Annah only frowned and bowed down.

"Can't talk some sense now, mixed blood?" Ricco taunted Annah which successfully made her looked up and glared at him.

"Asshole." Annah breathed passionately.

"Annah." Jason warned making her bowed down again. "Did you attack him first?"

All eyes were directed on her and heaven knows, how she wanted to punch Ricco unceasingly until he bleeds right there. But she held back and let a heavy sigh. Closing her eyes in defeat and unclenching her throbbing fists, she slowly nodded.

"I've expected so much from you, Annah." Jason said in reprimanding tone. "Now, apologize to the pureblood."

Annah could have been left standing there all day and not say a damn word. But she felt Maine nudged her shoulder to just eat her pride that moment and just be done with it.

"M'sorry..."Annah said, barely opening her mouth.

"I can't hear you." Ricco taunted.

Annah looked up in anger to him again and clenched her fist which actually ache as she did so. She saw the blood at the side of his lips and wondered if she really hurt him that bad. If she ever did, he deserved it ten folds. "I'm sorry, alright?!" She screamed before scurrying away from the pressed crowds ushered her running away towards the direction of the building's tower with their eyes.

Jason then turned to Ricco and murmured his mistake.

"Then move that bloody scepter off my way, filth." Ricco said and walked passed Jason's shoulder, intentionally banged it with his own.

Now walking out from the food section, Ricco was followed by his groupies who were asking him if he's alright since there was blood on the side of his lips.

"Let me aid that later, master." Luna offered softly.

"I'd like to be alone." Ricco said making his friends immediately halted from following him.

"Master I shall tend your wound later." Luna once again offered.

"No need, Luna." Ricco said. " It's not even my blood."

All his friends saw him wiping the trace of fresh blood from the side of his lips with his thumb and then brought it inside of his mouth, licking it. He then turned away from them towards his personal study space in the building.
