Warmer than the sun Chapter 1
"Austin! Austin! What the hell are you doing to me? let go of me!!!" The girl was screaming as she kicked and thrashed in her restraints but even her efforts were futile against the boy's strong grip. She tried to punch him but he just grabbed hold of her hands instead. His face had hardened into a scowl, a look of complete anger on his handsome features. The boy’s gaze bored into her, looking as though he were ready to devour her with those angry hazel eyes. But his glare soon morphed into something else, that of utter terror. "I swear if you don't stop this right now I'll-" but the rest of her words were lost as the boy suddenly collapsed against her chest. The girl screamed again, trying to break free but the only thing that came out was an incoherent mumble as she felt herself fall forward too. "What... what...?" The boy had passed out. She looked down at him in horror and confusion, not knowing how to react or reactivate him. "Hey! wake up! Wake up you jerk!!" She yelled fran
Warmer than the sun Chapter 2
At school, Austin wasn't a popular kid. He didn't fit in with his classmates or students. He was different from everyone else, and that made him the outsider among his peers. Everyone knew there was something wrong with him, even the teachers, so no one really paid any attention to him. But it also meant he had no friends at all. He spent most of his lunchtime in silence. That suited Austin just fine, to suck blood whenever he felt hunger or boredom. It gave him time to think… and plan revenge against the people who were being mean to him for no reason. And then he would come out of hiding at the end of the day and get them back by drinking their blood and making them suffer for a week. That's what he told himself anyway. But he was lonely. So many people wanted to be friends with him because of his looks. But none of them seemed able to understand why Austin had chosen solitude as his life path. None of them could see past his eyes. Not even the teachers did. They tried their harde

Hailey's pov;After searching the entire campus for Austin, I settled on a bench in the courtyard of the school library with my backpack, phone and two bottles of water."Did you like the picture of us?" Dean asked, sitting next to me."I don't know because I didn't want to look at them." "What do you do after school?""Why do I have to tell you?" "Because I'm taking you to a nearby cafe."I smiled and asked, "Do I appear to have nothing to do apart from you?" I paused and asked, "Would you mind leaving?" "I made this reservation last Monday," he said standing in front of me. "It cannot be postponed.""Then go alone. Why do you ask me?""I reserved two members." "Why don't you take that little dog with you?" I said leaning back. "You two seem to be more compatible than we are." "We're not what you think," he said sitting next to me. "We're just friends.""Friends rolling around naked in bed?" I asked, moving closer to him."I made a mistake. I was drunk and not in my-""We broke u

Hailey's pov;Upon hearing Austin's claim that he was a vampire, I took a sick leave from school and remained at home. When questioned by my parents about my absence, I reported feeling unwell. My younger brother, Charlie, disregarded the situation and proceeded to attend school as usual. In the meantime, I conducted extensive research on vampires. After poring over numerous sources, one commonality emerged - vampires are not real. It became apparent that the internet cannot always be relied upon for factual information.When I opened the window after a nap, the bright light hurt my eyes. I quickly locked the windows and closed it with the curtain. Damn! I showered and covered myself with clothes to avoid exposing my skin to the sun and remembered that I was going to school and left home. In college, I sought out Austin on campus. When I came to look for him in the classroom, everyone gave me strange looks. I ignored them and continued looking for Austin. Where the hell is he? I le

Hailey's pov; "What's up with this clothing? Are you a member of a cult or something?" Riley made fun of me. I didn't pay attention to her since I was preoccupied with my burger and Austin, who was sitting quietly in a corner eating. No one called me annoying before… in person. Why does he think I'm annoying? I simply had a few inquiries out of curiosity. Is it wrong to raise questions against him or something?Riley placed her hand on my shoulder and said, "I asked you a question." "And I disregarded it." I grinned at her and bit into the meal while looking at Austin.She asked again, "Have you finished the assignment for Mr. Grey?" "Already handed in to his office.""Why didn't you notify me in advance before sending it? Why did you submit it without me?""You know that I don't like talking while eating, don't you?" I set the burger down on the table and informed her of this. "So why do you still do it? Who exactly is the most annoying person here, I wonder?""Are you sure you d

Hailey's pov;My head felt heavy when I woke up. As I looked around the place, I saw Austin, who's standing beside me with a glass of water. As soon as I noticed him standing in front of me, I moved back quickly and hit the wall. I checked my neck, there was no bleeding. I looked around the room for a mirror, and when I did, I stepped before it to look for bite marks on my neck. Upon discovering that there wasn't one, I exhaled with relief.Austin, "Stop behaving strangely and take this." and set the water glass on the desk. I picked up the glass and drank the water while surveying my surroundings. It appeared to be a dorm. "You're in my room," he said as he sat down on the chair."Why did you bring me here?" I asked. "Because I'm not going to be your personal driver to take you home," he replied."So why did you bring me here? Why not just leave me there? Someone would have helped."He made his bed without saying anything."I'll get going then.""It's beyond midnight," he remarked
Warmer than the sun Chapter 7
Hailey's POV;I had a late night, a late wake-up, a late departure from home, a late arrival at college, and now I'm running late to my class. Such a day! As I was rushing to my lesson, the first bell rang, sh*t! I have to get there before the third bell or I'll get held up once more. I unexpectedly ran into someone in the corridor. Saying "I'm sorry." Without even turning to look at them, I apologised and hurried to my class. Thank goodness, the third bell didn't ring when I entered the classroom. I was mocked by Riley, who said, "I thought you wouldn't make it." When I sat beside her. Since I was racing to get my breath, I was unable to react to her."I bet you didn't look at the notice board," she said. "Am I correct?" "This weekend, we're going to Big Bend National Park," she remarked. "Let's have some fun--" she halted and questioned, "Hey, are you listening to me? What exactly are you looking for?" I looked up at her and said, "I think I lost my necklace somewhere." And went t

Hailey's pov;When I returned from college, Charlie handed me the keys and stated, "I'm staying at Jason's place tonight." And dashed out the door without waiting for my response. After he departed, I shut the door and walked straight to my room because I had just eaten dinner with Alex. I wondered why Alex was approaching me. Is it only because he found my jewellery and wants a tour in exchange? No, the way he's acting towards me plainly indicates that he's hitting on me. But why, of all the girls in his department, me?Alex doesn't appear to be a red flag, but after learning that there are a lot of vampires on campus, I became wary of people I don't know. After getting to know Alex a little more, I doubt he'll fall into that category. If I question Austin about ways to separate vampires and humans, he'll start complaining about his laws. So, how am I going to discover Alex's true identity? Should I just ask him outright? While I was thinking about how to find out if Alex is a vam
