T'was a dark and stormy night. Bella was studying for a calculus exam when she heard a knock on her front door. Hesitant at first, she decided to check who was at the door.
"AAAAH!" Bella exclaimed. "Are U a VAMPIRE?!" She asked the dark haired youngster who was standing at her doorstep.
"Yes, I am." The young gentleman responded in his flamboyant high-pitched voice. "My name is Edward, I am a vampire. I heard about you from my friends and wanted to ask you out."
"I would like to go on a date with you although I am a bit afraid that you might kill me." Bella said, hesitant at first. "Don't worry, don't you trust me?" Edward yelled at her!!
"Yes, of course I do!" Bella said in her shaky, androgynous voice. "I do."
"Well I have rented a hotel room at the hotel, the hotel receptionist gave me a key to a room. I would like to meet you there at 7 p.m., we are going to go to a ballroom to dance."
"Yes."
That was it. Edward flew away, and Bella stood there in shock. Did she really just meet a vampire?! This was so crazy! She had to go get ready for the dance or she would be really humiliated.
"Aunt Susan, I have to have a word with you." Bella said to Aunt Susan, her legal guardian.
"Yes, what is it Bellma?" Aunt Susan responded in a masculine tone.
"Well, you see! Earlier I met this boy, Edward, and I really like him. We're going to a public park to have a picnic and he's picking me up at 7 p.m. so I'm not sure if I'll be back by the morning."
Aunt Susan giggled. "Is this about that vampire boy that was here earlier?"
"Um.. Uh.." Bella responded hesitantly. "How did you know Edward was a vampire?"
"Edward, so that's his name." Aunt Susan replied in a monotonous tone. "Well, earlier today I caught sinking his teeth into the neighbors cat. When he saw me, he went totally apeshit on me; vomiting all over our porch and banging his head against the lantern you gave me for Christmas."
"So, can I go with him to the dance?"
Aunt Susan started crying. "You promised me we would watch American Beauty tonight! I cleared my entire schedule for you!" She was now crying and scratching her face out of anger.
"Can't we watch it tomorrow, Auntie? You're being really weird about this!"
"Weird?! You promised me you would watch this with me you filthy Lolita! From this moment on you are grounded, young lady!"
"What, why?" Bella growled.
"Questioning authority! Now go clean up and put some gloves on, supper will be ready in two hours and I don't want to have to look at those filthy paws of yours."
Bella spat in her Aunt's face and ran up the stairs, towards her room.
