If I kissed your neck, would you slit my throat?"

XUAN, KEIJI, AIMI, & JYNX: First Day at 1st Period, the Academy
Xuan stared at his brother scowling, his brother just laughed in his face. You're a dirty scoundrel!
You're ugly!
You're a little bitch!
You're absolutely nothing… you're…you're…you're…sleeping in my class!
The spiky haired boy stirred in his sleep once before stretching and opening his eyes. He yawned softly, showing no remorse to the teacher, just a heart melting grin that caused the 24-year-old lady to flush pink. He just rolled his eyes, before hearing a more interesting voice; his old childhood friend's voice.
"Yo, check them out, X" The boy next to him whispered. He craned his neck so he could see the two girls who came into the class late. One was exotic looking; naturally darkly tanned skin with green hair, but the other girl looked like a porcelain doll. He grinned as he studied both of them. They were pretty in their own unique ways. They weren't like the girls her at school, and that's hwy he was interested.
"Fresh meat Keiji. I can have the short one with the crazy green hair in 2 minutes flat. How about you?"
"I don't know man, the black haired one looks to innocent I'd feel really..."
"Shut up with you and your having a conscience crap."
"Boys!" The teacher screamed, her eyebrows snapping together. She sighed deeply before introducing the students. "This is Aimi and Jynx, they had a little trouble with their classes but their here to join us. Make them feel welcome."
"I'll make Aimi feel really comfortable…" Xuan muttered in a lazy drawl.
"Oh, really?" Aim said raising an eyebrow, folding her arms. She was not amused by this boy in the slightest. Who does he think he is? She screamed inwardly. What a sexist pig!
"I like em' feisty." Xuan shot back smoothly.
"Perverted jerk." Aimi spat before leading the giggling flustered Jynx as far away from Xuan as she could get.
"You sure got her chasing after you." Keiji stated sarcastically before turning to look at Jynx. He noticed she was pretty when she walked in, but she didn't notice the little details that made her absolutely beautiful. How her glossy hair always shined, how creamy toned skin radiated, how she had small amount of freckles that were sprinkled on her button nose. Was she beautiful? No, she was absolutely stunning.
"You didn't even talk to the other girl." Xuan reminded him coldly.
"I will, after class… in a way that attracts her; not offends her." Keiji retorted with a triumphant smirk. Xuan might have not been a virgin, but the girl he was going after was different than the girls he'd been with before. Want to know the difference between his exes and the green-haired girl? She definitely was not one of the 'the hoe who never said no' types.
"You couldn't get her to go without you if had a month to try."
"Really? Then it's a bet. I swear on everything I won that that green-haired broad won't go for you."
"That makes two of us." Aimi said after she overheard the last thing the boys said. Xuan was instantly tempted by the challenge, and was determined to get this girls affection. It was amazing how she wasn't just like the other 99 of female freshman population; begging for him to be with him.
"You're on, K. She'll be screaming my name within a week, honest."
Aimi just scowled from where she stood at the two boys, mainly at Xuan.
JYNX & AIMI: 2 Days Later, the Academy
You know, boys just irk me. To the max, Aimi thought to herself. It had been two days since the little bet the boys had made had commenced. Jynx was constantly flustered around Keiji it was adorable, but X was honestly the most clueless idiot she had ever met. What made things worse, the whole female population (Except for Jynx, of course.) swooned over him, and had harbored an undeniable hate for her. She didn't understand. They want that? She thought visualizing the overly sexual pig in her mind.
"AIMI! Guess what!" Jynx said running towards her, the girl was only taller then her by a centimeter, but difference in height always made her jealous. Aimi hated being short. "So….. Keiji asked me out and he said yes, but I don't know what to wear because I've never went on date before and…." Jynx said losing her breath and turning pink as she went on and on. Eventually, Aimi just lost track of what Jynx was saying and began drifting in a sea of nothingness.
"… and since I think you've been on tons of dates, so that's why I need your help." Jynx said finally smiling. Aimi rose an eyebrow at her friend ran her slender fingers through her oddly hued locks.
"Well, ignoring the fact that for the past five or ten minutes I have heard nothing that you said…. I think I can help you, basically." Aimi said eying her friend. Jynx was pretty in a delicate way. Sometimes Aimi thought that if someone handled Jynx too roughly she might shatter to pieces like a beautiful expensive vase. "You don't wear make up, and no doubt Keiji wants you with out the stuff, so maybe if you touched yourself here and there." Aimi mumbled surveying her friend. She didn't bother to tell Jynx about the bet. She was to into Keiji, and it would just be a major put down. Girls like her paint pretty imaginary pictures of their men, Aimi thought, If I were to tell her that now it would be like me throwing up all over her art work.
"Here, just come with me back to my dorm. I'll pretty you up, and lend you some stuff." Aimi grinned. Jynx would take Keiji's breath away when she was done with her, and she wouldn't even be in formal or semi-formal clothing!
Aimi took Jynx's hand and led her back to her dorm room. Although if she had Jynx as a roommate it would be nice, she was happy she didn't have the burden of a roommate. Aimi didn't want to deal with someone messy, bitchy, or creepy. Besides, the Academy was expensive enough…they could at least give her some privacy in return for the thousands of dollars that she paid to get here. Home sweet home, Aimi thought as they finally reached her door. She swung open the door letting the smell of perfume and laundry detergent fill her nostrils. She had just done laundry.
"Whoa, it's like the mall in here." Jynx mumbled gazing at all the clothes. She glanced around in complete awe. She was so busy with her studies and keeping her scholarship that she didn't even bother to indulge in luxurious clothes like Aimi did. She didn't know why she didn't notice before, but she knew it now. Aimi was completely loaded with money and clothes.
Aimi just grinned taking what Jynx said like a compliment. She had always been a fashionista, and she liked people noticing it. She studied pile upon pile of clothing. She and Jynx were about the same size in everything except bras, Jynx beat her at height and bra size by a little bit. It was so unfair because Jynx didn't even flaunt it. After gazing at the piles for a long time Aimi squealed with glee. She found the perfect thing for Jynx to wear. Jynx would be a knock out.
"Try this on, and this, and wear these shoes…and oh that jacket is just darling!" Aimi declared as she tossed various pieces of clothing at her companion and pointed out the shoes to her. She turned her head as Jynx changed because the girl was turning bright red-pink like a strawberry. Aimi laughed wondering how Jynx would react if she knew how Keiji and probably some other boys thought about her. That would be a fiasco, Aimi thought with a grin.
"Done!" Jynx said teetering in her natural colored stilettos. Aimi giggled already confirming the fact that Jynx didn't get around much in heels. She gave her friend a slow one over. The raven haired girl looked to die for, and Aimi was envious. The army green jacket and turquoise camisole with darker turquoise lacing had fitted her torso perfectly and accentuated the girls developing curves. The frayed army green mini skirt worn over striper dark and light gray leggings that ended just above her knees looked edgy, in a good way of course. Aimi blinked, adding make up might make up to her already gorgeous her explode with jealousy. She sighed knowing that not adding make up for her own well-being would be selfish.
"You look great. Alright, I think you should just pull on my turquoise checkers vans since heels aren't your thing." Aimi giggled watching her friend almost trip over herself as she headed in the pair of shoes' direction. Once Jynx pulled on the shoes Aimi got to work. She outlined her friends eyes in black eye-liner witch just made the emerald orbs she had been tracing around glow more. Then, she put on some nude colored lip-gloss and one coat of mascara and decided to stop there.
"Alright get out my house woman and go knock him dead!" Aimi said grinning suggestively and Jynx blushed furiously. She ran out of the room screaming thank you on the way.
"What am I going to do with that girl?" Aimi thought and then fell back onto her bed where she had bean seated and drifted off into a deep sleep.
JYNX: 15 minutes later, the courtyard of the Academy
Jynx bit her lip making it swell and almost bleed. He was late by five minutes, and though it wasn't that late it irritated her. It was their first date, and Keiji didn't even try to impress her by being early. Her more caring tender side wondered if he was in trouble or something stopped him. She instantly wiped the thought form her mind replacing it with blind rage.
It was her first date, and the boy who took her out didn't care enough to be on time. This was absolutely ridiculous. She closed her eyes and take a deep breath. Might as well go home, she thought bitterly, he's made it obvious that he doesn't care about the date or me. The thought stung her insides and hurt her pride. For once a boy saw past her geeky exterior, and this happened. She started heading towards the entrance.
"Jynx, I'm sorry.." She heard someone say softly, almost menacingly. She spun around turning red and balling her fists.
"You better be sorry! You ruined everything!" She said. Then she stared aghast at the figure before her. It was not her dear Keiji, it was someone far worse, handsome, but far far worse.
"I'm sorry that I have to kill you right here and right now" The figured spat out. Jynx gazed in horror and then suddenly she felt a surge of power. Her body started glowing, and she felt something inside of her.
"What's happening?" She said staring at her hands like they would supply her with some answers. Suddenly she felt the thirst for blood, and the figure in front of her could quench that thirst. She pulled a turquoise ribbon out of her pocket that she brought just in case she wanted to put her hair in a ponytail and tied it around her eyes ridding her of her useless vision. She didn't need sight to battle.
"So you are the descendant of the merciless blindfolded assassin." The figure said with a twisted smirk. Oh, the rewards I'd receive if I killed her, he thought staring down at the midget sized killing machine.
"Silence scum." A deep dark part of Jynx that she had never uncovered before muttered, and then at an astounding speed she broke his neck and carried him to the on campus lake where she threw him in the water watching him sink.
"That, my darling Jynx, was a decoy." She heard from behind her...and then everything went blank.
