Rose found herself feeding off Kei’s tension. The intuitive girl caught that flick of his eyes to check the time, the way he put aside the coffee without tasting it, and the way he seemed...something. She couldn’t quite put her finger on what it was. The whole introduction was strained and it made her feel antsy like she wanted to run away from him.
She told herself it was her own apprehension about the encounter that she had let build up to an unnecessary apex and here they both were vibing on each other’s jitters. Rose didn't know much about vampires. And so she had no idea, not even the slightest clue, that the tension in the room was partly caused by his condition.
Forcing an apologetic smile, Rose chuckled self-consciously. “Yeah sorry, I couldn’t come sooner. I was - you know.” She wasn’t good at lying.
She flipped her hair over and chewed at her fingernails while she considered what her issues were with French. “Okay so like I have problems with the verbs. Some of them are like super easy to conjugate and others make literally no sense. And it’s so random.” She pouted her lower lip while she considered what else was the problem. “Oh and in the free writing section,” she flipped the exam over to where she had attempted to write a paragraph on a given prompt. Her neat script had been beaten up with a red pen noting the numerous errors she made.
“I got super marked up for the whole words have weird accent marks thing. It’s so random!” She complained and then threw up her hands. “The whole language, Kei. The whole thing.” She mimicked shooting herself in the temple with a finger gun before her hand slapped down to her thigh clad in maroon tights.
She sighed heavily and then rested her elbow on the table and her cheek on her closed fist. “Maybe I should just drop it and take sign language? I found out that will count for the language requirement. And it could totally be useful. Like maybe more useful than stupid French.” She laughed and pushed at his arm playfully. “No offense, monsieur, lover of French.”
