Chapter 1 " My childhood"

I was sitting next to my dad watching vampire movies on the old black and white TV enjoying myself. My parents were hippies. So that ment, they had glow in the dark posters, lava lamps, Flower power stuff every where, they had colorful rugs, they ate like vegeterians, they wore big pants and colorful shirts. My life was great and I enjoyed evey minuet of it. After watching so many vampire movies I wanted to be one. I started drinking cherry Kool-Aid and wairing a black cape around the house. One day I notice my mom's stomach was swollen and getting bigger. At first I though it was filled with glow in the dark lava lamp goo. But a few months later my little sister was born. My mom had named her Allie. After she was born I didn't get much attention like I used to. My parnets would go to sleep early and I had to watch movies alone. I Basically did everything alone now. Soon enogh my house was changing too. All the colorful furnitue, glow in the dark and flower power stuff were slowly being removed and replaced by normal things. Like family pictures, a normal plain couch, normal chairs and dinning room table. I was mad at my sister. Because of her everything in my life changed after she was born. I could barley get to sleep because my new so called sister kept crying all night. My only company was my vampire movies and dreams.

One day early my mom took me to this place with lot's of kids my age. They looked like kids from a Conway Magazine. Well dressed and pretty enough to be models. I didn't like this place or the kids so far. I though mom had sent me here as a I didn't recall doing anything bad. That day in the colorful classroom I learned the other kids names and how to count the numbers. I had gone all the way up to 20. I was proud of myself. A while late rmy mom had come to pick me up. I was in the mddle of coloring a picture but i didn't care i wanted to leave this horrible place my new um... teacher called kindergarden.

When I was home my mom had put me to do some thing the so called teacher had left for me to do. After I was done I ate dinner and talked about my day. After dinner I sat infront of our TV and began to watch more vampire movies. It was late at night and I had a piece of cherry pie sitting next to me. I had some of it on my face as I stared into the TV wanting to be part of the vampire world. My mom had come into the living room mad with her hands on her hips. She looked down at me angrily and said " Corey Riffen what do you think your doing up so late at night? You have school tomorrow." I looked up at her with lonley, sad eyes as I said " I though that was only a one time thing." She turned off the TV carried me to the bathroom, wiped my mouth clean of cherry pie, made me brush my teeth, put me in my black PJs and then put me to sleep.

I got tired of school and i didn't want to go anymore. What I didn't know is that I still had about 20- 20 something years of school left. One day during the middle of the day my teacher had made us say what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our teacher was an old woman with wrinkled, pale skin and glasses. First she asked Lucy. Lucy answered" I would like to be a doctor." She went around the room getting different answers almost every single time. They would say things like fire fighter, nurse, doctor, princess, or actress. Finally it came to my turn. She asked my the same question she had asked everyone " What would you like to be when you grow up?" I sat there silent. She looked at me cocerned and asked " How about a police man?" I shook my head no. " A doctor, a fire fighter, ... a teacher." again i shook my head no. She got frustrated and said " Then what?" I though for a moment and then it came to me. I opened my mouth and answered " A vampire." The teacher looked at me weirdly while the other kids just laughed. I didn't really care what they thought.

I don't exactly know when but I remember whenI was little I got invited to my first birthday party. It was some girl named Carrie's birthday and she had invited everyone in the class. Whn i had first arrived a her house I was amazed at how big it was. It looked more like a catsle than a house to me. My mom had dropped me off and left me in the backyard with all the other kids. I just put my present where the rest of them were and sat down looking at everyone having fun while eating cake, ice cream, and riding a pony Carrie's mom had rented for her birthday. Carrie was a rich girl with blond hair, light blue eyes and she wore cute, but expensive dresses you would find in a magazine. I sat there by myself not knowing what to do until it was present time. everyone sat around the birthday girl as she opened each present carefully. Finally it came to my present. Mine had been small and my mom helped me pick it out. It was wrapped in black wrapping paper and a black laced ribbon. Once she opened it she had a huge smile on her face and showed everyone the black diamond bracelet I had given her. It had a small diamond shapped black bat with ruby red eyes. of course the jewels were fake. my family couldn't afffored anthing really expensive. She passed it around lettin every one see her brand new bracelet. Once she got it back a kid in the back who hadn't toughed it said " EWW. Corey gave you that bracelet ? That bracelet probably had kooties on it." Thats when Carries smile turned into a sour frown as she stared at me acting like i had put a deadly disease on her present. She threw it back in the box and the party continued. Again I sat there alone watching everyone have fun while I waited for this party to end so my mom could take me home.

When I was in second grade I met my future best friend. I was waiting outside for my mom to come pick me up, but she was late every day so I sat on the school steps waiting for her. That when I heard a small faint cry. I got up and followed the sound. When I reached the person who was crying I had noticed it was a dude with red hair a plad button up, shirt jeans and black I first saw him I though man what a wimp, But then i felt bad for him and asked " What's wrong?" He looked starteled when he saw me. Probably beacause i was wearing all black and I looked scary most of the time. But he still answered " My mom didn't come to pick me up today and I'm scared she might've forgotten me." Thats when half of me was creeped out and the other wanted to laugh in his face for being such a wimp. But then I held it in when he burst out crying. I had no idea what to do or say. But for some reason I said " don't worry your mom's probably stuck in traffic or something." he calmed down sniffed and said" do you really think so?" I gave a fake smile and nodded. Thats when a truck pulled up and he ran up to it. My Mom beeped where I was sitting last and i walked over to her. I was about to get into my mom's minivan, until he ran up to me and said " My mom said you can come over to my house when ever you want." For the first time in a long time. I smiled and said" Okay sounds great. My name is Corey Riffen." I shook his hand and he said " and mine is Larry Nepp." He smiled and ran off to his mom's truck. I felt happy with him ever since. I would protect him from bullies and we would hang out at his house which turned out to be a huge farm. We would sit under his apple trees and eat as many apples as we could or until my mom came to pick me up. I actually felt we were best friends, even though we were complete opposites.

I still hated school but Larry got me through the whole day. My life was strange being a goth/punk, but it was going to get a lot stranger as soon as I turned 16...
