We could skip a few days and just do a quick recap of them suffering XD. Afterwards we could also start the voting for president, or there could be some trouble between human and vampire?)

maybe the voting starts, then leads to the trouble so it has to be suspended/canceled and that's when the principals step in and say "yeah you're all kids so we're gonna pick for you for now"

Ohh, sounds like a plan. That could lead to them being forced to spend time together and perhaps going from hatred to a slight dislike haha.)

mkay I'll start in the next few days }}
It had definitely not been a good decision. His brain had to be practically melting out his ears by now from being in overdrive for the past few days. He'd barely gotten any sleep. This better be worth it. Having lots of homework to do was one thing. Having to learn the lessons for said homework as well and not understanding them one bit anyway was another entirely. However, if he was in this much pain, he had to imagine William had trouble with it as well. Right? He couldn't be that smartβ¦
However, at least class would be easier considering he wouldn't have to pay attention or anything. He could just distract William or something the whole time.
That said, he was just sitting down for his Calculus class. He didn't let the bags under his eyes dull his smug look as he waited for William.

Will closed his laptop and pushed away from the table. His eyes stung at the prolonged screen time and his back cracked with the little use. He had been so focused on work that he hadn't moved for a long time. As it turned out, learning things on your own was hard. And he didn't find a lot of things hard.
The late bell rang as he strode into his Calculus class. The teacher was late and was not yet present. He padded over to his seat and narrowed his eyes in suspicion. Lux seemed to be waiting for him.
"You look tired." he noted, a smirk painted on his face.

Lux shrugged. He wasn't going to let William know he had beguiled him. "I get out a lot," he chirped, doing his best impression of someone who was certainly-not-exhausted-right-now.
You know, if the blood they served in the cafeteria wasn't stale crap, he would probably look like a fresh cut daisy at the moment. Unfortunately, it couldn't do much for mental state, so he might still be going insane even if it was the blood of kings. Then again, he could always pick on some socially awkward human freshman⦠No, he wasn't supposed to do that⦠according to the rules.

"I'm sure you do." Will replied, not convinced in the least. As a student, Will never got enough sleep anyways so this was pretty usual for him. Enough coffee and you could stay up for days on end. He rubbed his arm subconsciously. The bite marks were almost gone, the only proof they had existed were two small red dots. But since then he had found himself thinking about it. The biggest rule and he had gone and broken it.
Will huffed irritably. Stupid vampire could heal within seconds and Will had to suffer with a cast and an assortment of sore muscles and bruises. It wasn't fair. Though life rarely was.

It was probably worse that Lux was used to life being unfair, and the balance was usually tipped in his favor. Maybe that's why he was so competitive with William (and why this sleep thing was hitting him harder, considering vampires couldn't exactly drink coffee. Or if they did, it wouldn't have any effect.) Well, it wasn't only because he was interesting and somehow always egging Lux on.
"I know it's hard to believe that people have a life outside school and all-- especially since you don't have much expertise in the social area yourself-- but I do in fact leave the school grounds regularly," he replied matter-of-factly, throwing in an insult for the fun of it. It was a lie anyway, but better than saying he'd been up doing homework.

"I may not be as social. But that will only help me in the long run. Grades will always be more important. Don't let you social life get in the way of your school one." it wasn't a direct insult, but close enough to one for even those not apart of their conversation to pick up on it. It seemed those around them viewed their conversations as entertainment more than a reason to worry now anyways.

"I'd like to enlighten you William by saying that some of us just happen to be able to manage both instead of either," he replied calmly. Except, that wasn't true at all for like the past week because he'd been holed up in his dorm. He'd even kicked his roommate out for laughing at his idiocy.

"But the real question is if you will be able to do it. Some people have too much confidence in their ability and end up digging themselves into a hole they won't be able to escape." pot calling the kettle black. His words were never truer than they were now. He had done the exact same thing. Will watched Lux carefully, trying to look all knowing and not like he was regretting the decision he had made.

Lux simple shrugged. "That's a big claim for someone who has no experience. I've been doing this my whole life; I think I'll be just fine now. You, on the other hand, are you trying to ask for help?" He was just trying to be snarky at this point. He knew William would never ask him for help, but proposing that he had was sure to bother him.

You could almost see Will puff up in defense, much like a cat or a dog raising its hackles "I've never needed help in my life. My ability is to great to have it dulled by others. And with my skill there isn't any need to ask for help." this was accurate in a sense. It wasn't everyday he asked for help, and if he did it wasn't usually school related. He has been told many times that this habit would get him into trouble. Mostly those were after incidents where he had over worked himself.
But that wasn't important right now. What mattered was winning against Lux. Will was a poor loser at best and wasn't about to admit and sort of defeat to this guy. Not even if it was a small victory or vaguely close to the truth. You can always made a lie a reality if you plan it well enough.
And just like that he had forgotten the school work incident. That thought would come back to him later and once again he would kick himself for his words.

sorry! It's been a busy week for me }}
Lux quirked an eyebrow. "Really? You really think so highly of yourself? I guess it's a good thing that I'm going to take your spot as student council president." Lux was a little surprised at his show of ego. As for Lux, accepting help from William? Never, but that didn't mean he never asked for help, like from anyone. In fact, he might have asked Maya for help more times than she would've liked. Then again, maybe William really didn't have any close friends.

Its totally fine! I understand being busy haha)
"The chances of that actually happening are low. I hate to break it to you but I'm the one who is going to be president. I have been ever since I entered junior high and I'm not about to lose the position to someone like you." William glared at him, gaze not wavering.

"Someone like me? Someone who's also been president since I started high school, I presume you mean," Lux sneered. He was a little bit defensive, yes. It was unfortunate that they couldn't have gone to the same school before, so that they wouldn't have such a heated debate.

"We both seem to have plenty of experience on this front. But the only way we'll see who's better is to see who wins. I'm not worried." their argument had come to a wall of sorts. Neither could really prove who was better until it was decided who would be the president.

"Right. Thank you, William, Lux, for entertaining the class for quite so long," their teacher snapped. The whole class seemed to be watching, but Lux was only slightly embarrassed.
Lux turned to her, shrugging. "Ms. Bhear, you could've started the lessonβ"
"Could I? Really, Lux? Because you two were distracting the whole class."
He kept his mouth shut before he answered "even you." It would be better not to get detention, even though he was very close to getting it. Maybe he should save these sort of conversations for after class instead.

Will tried to roll his eyes and laugh it off but was embarrassed as well. A couple people looked disappointed the argument had been cut short and class was actually starting but everyone eventually turned around and focused on the teacher. Will shot one last glare at Lux for good measure and pulled out his notebook.

Lux never managed to catch it, but you could say the emotional temperature of room dropped almost ten degrees. You would have to be completely oblivious not to notice it. Yet, instead of trying to continue the conversation via eye-contact, Lux gazed very intensely at the whiteboard. He wasn't actually catching much of the lesson, though.

The rest of the class was uneventful. Will eventually cooled down enough to pay attention. Most of it had already been covered in the 'extra' work he had done. Though that work had been done late at night and he could always use a refresher. The bell rang and he yawned and leaned back against the chair to crack his back.

The same went for Lux. Most of it was just review of what he'd learned on his own. Plus, since the year was just beginning, the lesson wouldn't have been hard anyway. He didn't need to pay attention.
When the bell rang, he packed his stuff up. He glared at William, but he did not delay in leaving, especially since Maya was waiting at the door.

As soon as Lux left Will gave himself a moment to take a break. He sighed and closed his eyes. Perhaps the work and lack of sleep was starting to get to him. Thankfully his burning need to win would keep him alive in these hard times. Seth eventually got him to get up and head to his next class.

Sounds fun! I'm jealous >.< I haven't been on a trip in ages.) Sure, I'll skip to that.)
The next couple of days were a blue. It was only when he was walking through the halls that he really perked up. It was earlier in the morning and his eyes were blurry and his body hyped up on caffeine. He held a coffee in his left hand and was scrolling through his phone with his other. All was well until he heard it. Arguing. Looking up he saw a group of people. It looked like, to him at least, there were a couple vampires and a couple humans. They looked to be angry and ready to fight. "Tsk." he narrowed his eyes and walked up to the group.

Lux had noticed the group in passing earlier, but they hadn't been arguing as much then. It was sort of like Lux and William themselves: it eventually built up to a fight. Well, maybe they had been arguing and he just didn't care to notice. It wasn't his business if a vampire decided to beat up some humans (because how else would a fight end?)

There seemed to be two main people arguing. The rest were back up and support. Grabbing both of their shoulders he pushed them apart and snapped "What do you think you guys are doing? Fighting between schools can and will get you expelled." a couple of the less aggressive people backed off and muttered different excuses. But the main two tried to explain and kept going at each other. Probably the only reason it hadn't gotten physical is because Will stood between them.
