It's hard trying to fit in at high school, especially when you're a vampire. You're required to lie to people and hide away, which draws attention to yourself.
I've been a vampire for a few years- I was out at a nightclub with my friends when this guy pulls me over. He'd been trying it on with me and other girls all night and so when he grabbed my jacket and pulled me over I thought…well, it's obvious what I thought he'd do, but instead he bit me.
'What on earth are you doing?' I screamed. It felt like I'd been punctured with a needle, just like an injection. Initially I thought he must have injected me- teeth don't hurt that much.
'You didn't give me what I wanted and now I'm giving you what you don't want,' he replied, and walked away, over to another girl who was immediately charmed by his pale skin and his quick wit.
The craving did not hit me initially. At first I felt chilled in an unnatural way, like a fever. Then an hour later, I felt a sudden change. My body tightened and I felt aggressive. I cast my eye over the rest of the club, seeing whose blood would be best. A lot of blood was tainted with drugs but eventually I found a young guy who was dancing so enthusiastically to the throbbing beat of the music he would not notice. Quickly I sunk my teeth into him and sucked until I felt intoxicated. Then I left the man rubbing his neck, and ran out of the club.
Anyway, presently I was walking down the maths corridor, trying to ignore the stares of confused passers-by. Why would they know that I'm a vampire?, I asked myself but even though I constantly reminded myself of this, I still felt freakish. Well, I was, wasn't I?
