Morganville is a normal town in the middle of nowhere Texas to the rest of the world, to the people who live there it is the Vampire Capitol of the world.

Driving into Morganville, Texas was surreal. When your from a city and come to a small town. Well lets just say it looks like a dump, a little tumbleweed town in the middle of nowhere. I'm driving to Morganville to attend Texas Prairie University (TPU). Blasting my favourite band The Black Veil Brides, my mom would complain at me but my parents are in the car behind me, bringing my stuff. Which I seem to have a lot of, it's crazy how much stuff I have, I hope there's enough room in the dorms.

I pull in to the university car park which is manic with 1st year students and returning students. 'Crap it's going to be hard to find a parking place let alone two places.' I say out loud. I spot a place two places down next to a red convertible. My cars going to look like a shed parked next to that. I get out and wait by the car and I get my phone out to text my parents 'I'm by the OTT red convertible, doubt you can miss me', my parents find a space about two rows over and find me by my car. We head off to register and find my dorm. I introduce my self to the person at the desk to a young girl with a name tag that says Claire, 'Hi my names Melanie Johnson' she looks at her sheet and ticks off my name.

'Yes, here you are. Your in room 213 in the mixed dorm, here's your key, your map and your schedule for the first week.'

'Thanks' I say giving her my best friendly smile, taking the stuff from her.

We make our way to the dorm carrying a small amount of stuff, mainly cleaning products because my mom is totally OCD but it will be nice to have her clean before I move in. The room is quite spacious, it has a reasonable amount of wardrobe space, a desk and an ok size bed. It's not a single but not as big a doubt but the mattress was clean.

I left my parents in my dorm as I went back to my car, to get some more stuff. There red convertible was still there but there was a well dressed girl with shiny brown hair, a tight fitting dress that barely touched the top of her thighs. She wore a little jewellery earrings and a bracelet with a symbol on it. She was talking to two other girls, who looked like they were trying to hard to be the Brunette.

'She must be the leader of the pack' I thought. I went over to over my car boot and overheard some over the conversation.

'Can you believe Preskool, she's such a nerd, she actually volunteered to help today'

'I know Monica, she's such a nerd and she sucks up to everyone including vamps'

Vamps? I thought, maybe it's a nickname.

'I know, my brother is fooled by her goodie to shoes act too'

I start to gather some stuff out of the car, and get my finger caught. 'Shit that hurt' I said out loud. All three girls turned to glare at me.

Monica I think her name is looks at me up and down, obvious distaste for my outfit on her face.

I like what I have on I have a pair of ripped skinny jeans, a black band t-shirt and some chunky lace up boots.

'Look what we have here girls, a little rock and roll chick' the others laugh.

'Thanks, that like totally what I was going for, and you're the whore Barbie, right I think I seen that outfit on the actual doll it's so small' giving my best stuck up dumb girl accent.

Anger flits across her face.

'Oh I'm sorry that was rude, I didn't introduce my self, I'm Melanie, and welcome to rock chick 101.' I said and give her and her minions the finger as I gather my stuff and walk off.

We spent most of the day unpacking and organising my stuff. I put some posters on the walls to make it more me. We had a quick look around, going to a couple of my main classes and then we went out into Morganville for lunch. It was like a different world outside of TPU. It was so quiet and nobody mingled on the streets as if everyone were strangers. Weird! We went to this burger joint, which had the best burgers I had ever tasted.

'Mmm I think I know where I'm eating for the next year'

'Honey, your not living off burgers, don't make me come up here more so I can stuff some vegetables down you'

'Ha-ha ok mom, I'll eat some veg'

After lunch, it was time for my parents to go. I walked them to there car and my mom cried, my dad hugged me hard and I was so close to tears but I'm not going to cry I'm made of harder stuff. I love them but it was dawning on me as they said good bye, why I had chosen TPU. I loved them but there was something I had to do in Morganville and if they knew it would kill them.
