• The next day I went to school hoping to find Viveka in first period, but she wasn’t there. I spent my first two classes staring at the clock. I needed to tell someone about this, I didn’t know how exactly how to handle knowing that this kid Zach was a real life vampire. Viveka probably wouldn’t believe me, but I had to tell her, even if she might think I’m crazy.
    Walking to third period wood shop I saw him. I wouldn’t have noticed him, but every girl in the hall way was staring at him googly-eyed. I stood there in shock as he smiled and passed me. “What was he doing here? He can’t be here!” I said to myself.
    I ran after him and pushed him into the janitor’s closet and shut the door quickly behind me.

    “You’re supposed to buy me a drink first, and don’t you think this is a little small?” He said laughing with a sarcastic smile.

    “Shut up. You are NOT supposed to be here. This is not cool, you’re a VAMPIRE! This is not normal, you might hurt someone. Why are you here?!” I asked angrily in a whispery voice.

    “I won’t eat anyone, I promise. Plus I already ate this morning.” He said casually.
    “You ate someone?!” I asked shocked.

    “He was going to die anyway.” He said plainly.

    “No, as long as you are here you are NOT allowed to eat ANYONE. Got it?!” I said sternly, I didn’t want him to eat someone I knew or an innocent by standard. “And you still haven’t answered the ‘Why are you here?’ question.”

    “You’re no fun.” He told me with a frown, and then answered “I came to school because I enrolled as a student here. It’s easier to watch over you if I’m in the same place as you. And I won’t use my abilities here cause they’re not fully matured yet anyway.”

    “Why me?! I just wanted a car for my sixteenth birthday, not some stupid vampire body guard.” I said looking up to the ceiling. Then I hit Zach in the stomach with the back of my hand “Stupid vampire.”

    I opened the janitor door and walked out into the dead hallway, stupid vampire followed. I took 5 steps and then was stopped by a “Hey! You two there, do you have a hall pass?” I turned around and saw the hall monitor waving his hands at stupid vampire and me.
    Before I could respond Zach said “No, I’m sorry this lovely young lady was helping me to my classroom. I’m new here, and she was just trying to help me.”

    “Well, I’m going to have to take you to sweep hall, and that’s going to be a dentition after school for the two of you, no excuses.” The hall monitor said sternly. “Come with me.”
    We both followed him to sweep hall where we sat in silence until the hall monitor left the empty classroom.

    I shuffled around in my seat for a moment, and then I exclaimed:
    “You STUPID SOB! I’m in this because of you! I’ve got a detention after school because of you! This is your entire fault!” I yelled.

    “MY FAULT?! If you hadn’t pushed me into the janitor’s closet for our little chat, then we’d both be in class!” He yelled back at me.

    “You’re the “vampire” why don’t you use you little vampire powers to get us out of this mess! OH WAIT, NEVERMIND YOU’RE IN LIKE VAMPIRE PUBERTY, AREN’T YOU?! Well, I guess I can’t relay on you. I’m getting out of here.” I said standing up from my seat and walking past him when he caught my arm.

    “Oh, no I’m not finished with you! Who the hell do you think you are? You’re just a stupid human! I can kill you if I want to, and in fact I want to!” He yelled still holding my arm firmly.

    I tried jerking away while yelling “You know what? ******** you. I’m done. I’m done with everything. You can got take your prophecy and fate and shove it up your a**.” I said finally. I have made it this far without anyone, and I’m sure as hell am not marring a self centered vampire.

    And as soon as I said that i felt sick, instantly sick to my stomach.
