THE WAR OF THE VAMPIRES
Ali A.
Chapter 1
It was a Monday afternoon and I was at school. God I hate Mondays, after staying up until the wee hours of two or three in the morning you have to sleep early, about ten in the afternoon for me, so you can wake up early, eight in the morning, just to go to school. God I hate school. Before I could start listing everything I hate, Vlaid came over, another one on my 'hate' list. "Hey Fishy!" he yelled. Vlaid Baxter was the bully of Blake-Markus High. I was only a Ninth grader, while Vlaid was a Twelfth grader that got held back a year, so actually he would be in college now if it wasn't for his straight F- report card grade! He had also nicknamed me "Fishy", see my real name is Shark, Shark Vye (Who's the wise guy that named his/her son, Vye? Well probably one of my great grandparents, but I also think it's cool, so cheers to the idiot who named his/her son Vye!) "Hey Fishy, I'm talkin' to you". I turned around and sighed "What do you want Vlaid". He just shoved me, I didn't fight back. I'm actually pretty strong for my age, and five foot 8, and all those years kicking soccer balls made my kicks like you wouldn't believe, but if I fought back, the teachers would come, we'd go to the office, get suspended and all that, and I'd also be saved from more beatings, but I'm no coward! And I don't like making a big deal out of things so I just endure. "I want you to stop being an ugly moron but whoops, too late!" it wasn't the least bit funny but his knuckleheaded friends started jeering like hyenas. Morons. I pretended not to notice and went about stuffing things in my tiny blue locker. "Hey, stupid, I'm talking to you" I pretended to look innocent. "Oh, you were talking to me, oh, oh sorry my bad I thought you were talking to yourself seeing that you're a big ugly moron with an F- average". It wasn't that good of a comeback but it was the most classic one and Vlaid's brainless friends Ohhhooooed. So Vlaid went right to the punch line, literally he socked me in the gut and I doubled over, while I was bent down Vlaid took the liberty of kicking both my legs, right under the shins, I was about to cuss something nasty, when a teacher came at the end of the hallway looking at her clipboard and Vlaid and his gang ran, I whistled for a moment, acted casual, ran a hand through my fairly short, jet black hair and took off leaving dust were I was only seconds ago, I was a very fast runner you see.
Chapter 2
As I sat in Mr. Smith's math class, passing notes with Damon Stern, who was my best friend, I was excited. Because at 4:30, after school is over, me and Damon were going to go to the downtown to watch a movie, but not just any movie, we were going to watch 'Psycho Killers; Night Of The Dead'! This was the scariest movie that was showing. You see me and Damon are huge fans of horror, we don't scare easily so we go and look for movies that scare us, honestly not many have, but we were sure this movie would, at least, make us shiver at night. Rrrrrinnggggg, rang the bell, signaling that this torture was over, until tomorrow at least.
I grabbed my backpack and looked for Damon, "Hey Damon!" I yelled. "Yo, I'm right here!" he answered, raising his hand above the massing crowd, trying to get their backpacks from their lockers.
"Dude c'mon, were 'gonna be late!" I said as I grabbed him by the backpack and ran out of the school. True, the movie started at 4:45, and already it was 4:37. "Taxi!" we both yelled in unison until one arrived. "Where you goin'?" he asked, dropping the ash from his cigarette right on my shoe, "Downtown", I said, feeling a little pissed, my shoe was not an ashtray. It was too bad though, because he drove off. I guess it wasn't in his route. But luckily Damon had managed to get another Taxi, so without any ado, we were off. We got there at 4:43, with two minutes left to spare. "Yes we made it!"Whooped Damon, slapping me a high five. "Yeah man, but we still 'gotta buy our popcorn" After we ordered two medium popcorns, and two large diet cokes, along with some assorted jellybeans, chocolate bars, and fruit flavored bubble gum, we went to the ticket-cutting-man-that- tells- you- what- screen- the- movie- that- your- seeing- is- on, and let him cut our tickets,(we had pre-ordered our tickets so we didn't have to buy them from the cinema).
