It's Vampire!
- Lanterns

Why do I just know it now?

"By the way, what's your name?" This is a good opportunity! I can get to know him first.

"Currently, you took the opportunity to get to know me." His style instantly turned haughty and threw his face to the side.

Geez, I forgot he was a Mindreader.

"Aray, can you just shut up and watch me in front? You can date her later" said the teacher in front of us.

Wait, what's he saying? Dating?! Really sick of soul. Where can we who are new acquaintances directly to the level of courtship?

"Sorry, Madam." The man I just knew named Aray said flatly. Then his gaze fell on me, "Now are you satisfied to know my name?"

"It's so arrogant of you!" My emotions started to get carried away by him. What a weird arrogant guy! How could I possibly date her in the future? Really not the criteria of my dream man.

"Hope to be my girlfriend later." Aray spoke again. You are not polite! Again he read my mind.

I threw my face away, no longer in the mood I wanted to get acquainted with or make friends with people like him. He sucks!

This afternoon I kept my promise to a girl named Arlie. I thought I was the one who came late. Apparently I waited almost half an hour but Arlie hasn't come yet.

I saw a half-sunset, but Arlie still hadn't come. Expelling the boredom, I swung my feet on the ground. I am sitting on one of the park benches.

Srek

Suddenly I heard a sound of friction coming from the plants. No, no, it seems to come from the bushes on my right. This place that was crowded with children one by one returned to their respective homes.

Silent, silent, and myself. Geez, where's Arlie up to this hour? I leaned my back on the prisoner chair. Perhaps, in this way Arlie could suddenly be in front of me. I closed my eyes and opened them again quickly. But in front of me there's still no Arlie.

I closed my eyes and opened them again, not yet.

"Yourf!" hel me with roughness. Home or not? But I'm afraid if I go home, then Arlie will come.

I have to try it again! Slowly I closed my eyes. This time a little long. And I was too silly to expect Arlie to come.

***

I opened my eyes again, it was as dark here as it was at night. Wait, at night?! Gosh darn. I hurriedly got up from the chair, now I can't imagine how angry Mom would be when I came home.

"Vero!"

"Akh!" When I got up, someone immediately surprised me because he immediately showed his appearance right in front of me. It made me automatically fall backwards through the long chair and immediately fall to the ground behind it.

"I'm sorry!"

Ignoring that apology, my head was completely dizzy at this moment. Remind me how many times I've felt dizzy today. When I looked, Arlie was already in front of me extending her hand. Next to his hand I believe it's an object called a lantern. It lights up very bright.

I took Arlie's hand, and I set my body up.

"You've been Arlie a long time!" I said I was really mad at him. When the sun was already sinking he just came? I thought the one who was adoring me was a ghost. It's fucking Arlie!!!

Arlie was just grinning at the horse with an innocent look.

"Sorry." Only that one word was spoken by Arlie while scratching his nape.

Arlie pulled my hand, asked me back to sit on the bench. Is Mom looking for me now? Honestly, I really want to go home. But Arlie's here, there's no way she just came and I just left her. But it seems, I really need to go home now. Because of my silly blindfolded nature, I fell asleep and was still here.

"Would you come home now or tomorrow, your mom wouldn't be mad 'cause you're with me, Vero."

"Eh?" I who had intended to leave him immediately turned around and saw him who was still holding the lantern. "Explain to me now everything!"

"Wow, calm down Vero. I was going to fly this lantern with you."

Although my curiosity was peaking, but I couldn't refuse Arlie's request. I took a deep breath and then exhaled it briefly.

"Okay," I said back to him.

"You know? I came a long time ago for making these lanterns first." His statement was quite interesting.

"You're right to make it yourself?"

"Yes, I love lanterns. So I asked my dad to teach me how to make lanterns, he's very talented at making lanterns." Arlie let my hand touch the lantern. We both held her tight, then Arlie closed her eyes. I also do the same thing, when we want to fly a lantern, we should make a wish. Who knows if our prayers will be answered.

I want to ... have no problems whatsoever, have a happy life and be able to find my true love.

"Let's fly together." Hearing Arlie's orders, I immediately got ready to fly while Arlie counted from one to three.

"Three!"

At that time we immediately flew the lantern that was glowing very brightly up there. In fact, his lanterns were brighter than stars. For some reason, my heart felt calm. Then I concluded that Arlie if in school very different from the truth. Maybe he looks cruel, arrogant and heartless driving people away at will, but ... Arlie is a girl. There is a softness inside.

"Wow, the lantern is brighter than any other star. How do you make the fire?" I asked still with my head up.

"Ah, that .. confidential. My father wouldn't let me tell anyone how the lights could be so bright."

"Eh? Alright."

"Who can't say that with Veronica? Do you remember if she was our daughter?" the heavy voice of a man interrupted us both. Arlie and I were both shocked to hear that sudden voice.

Then we turned around and found a tall and handsome man. It seems like a young boy, but I was quite surprised when Arlie called it 'Dad'.

"Dad!" Arlie immediately rushed over and hugged the man. I'm standing here.

Then Arlie and the guy Arlie called Dad came up to me.

"Good night, Miss Veronica." The man suddenly bowed before me. Arlie was doing the same thing.

"Eh? You guyswhat? I guess you guys don't deserve that in front of me."

Arlie and Arlie's father then straightened up again. I am still confused by their treatment which I think is excessive.

"I'm Wilson, Arlie's father. He was a noble in Dalton kingdom. Now, I'm also very confused as to why here Dalton turned into a school. But Arlie is down from my ability, so he's sent to take care of you."

"What are you talking about?" many wonder.

I saw Arlie secretly elbowing his own father's stomach, then whispering something I didn't know. His voice was left small as it seemed.

"Oh, sorry to confuse you. I didn't know that your memories of the kingdom were taken by Merry, the evil witch!" said Wilson.

"Can you ... tell me?" me and Wilson nodded. Looks like I can get a bright spot, I need to know something this awkward.

"Dad, how about we just talk at home?" said Arlie. Apparently, Arlie was very spoiled when he was close to his father. God, I really didn't expect this!

"Well, that's a great idea. Let's take Miss Veronica to our house, we'll talk everything out to you."
