This is an original story and I am making the characters slightly different in personality—especially Claude!

**********************************

My name is Raven Madison. I am eighteen years old. I draw attention (mostly unwanted) to my eccentric self by showing off my black lipstick, black hair, black eyeliner, black clothes, black boots, and…well you get the point.

Oh and I forgot to mention that I have an amazing boyfriend named Alexander Sterling and he just so happens to be a vampire.

Did I mention I would absolutely kill to become a vampire myself?

Things are about to change for me. I'm moving out of my parents' house and I'm going to go to college. The college is just right outside of Dullsville. Due to College curfew policies, I cannot go out at night. Except on weekends. I'm going to miss my Alexander!

***********************Story beginning**************

The Sunday night before classes started, I stood in my bland-looking dorm room. Ugh, I needed to redecorate. I heard a door unlock and open. I looked over and smiled; my darling Alexander was here to say goodbye.

"I'll see you next weekend, my love." Alexander said with a sad look in his eyes.

I grabbed him and hugged him oh so tight.

"I don't think I can live without seeing you for a whole week! I'm going to sneak out and come see you tomorrow night, lover." I said holding back tears.

"It is too dangerous, I don't want to get you in trouble with the college." Alexander said with a longing look.

He finally let go of me and kissed me one final time walking out the door. He mumbled something indecipherable before closing the door. We were both so very sad.

I laid on my bed feeling depressed, I mumbled, "Something's 'gotta give." I drifted into asleep.

This was going to be a very hard semester for me. Little did I know that this semester was going to change the rest of my life.

Please review and let me know if this sounds like an interesting story…if I get some good reviews I'll be happy to continue writing. ^_^ Thanks everyone.-M
