Chapter One

Well hello there. How are you? Don't bother answering the question, I won't listen. Oh, I'd better introduce myself. I'm a fifteen-year-old, vampire wanna-be with an obsession for chocolate and stuffed animals. Sad, really. Now don't go on thinking I'm this dark, moody gothic girl that cuts her wrist and listens to scream-o music all day. Not even close, though if I had my way, I would be.

Nope, instead I'm this 'A' 'B' honer roll student with a book and art fetish. You know, the kind that is just there in the back of the classroom with maybe a few friends? Yeah, that's me.

Since I don't feel like disclosing my biological name, I'll give you my nickname.

Everyone, family excluded, calls me Kitty.

And as I've said before,

I'm in love with vampires and often wish I was one. Or at least had one of my own. Yes, a dark, moody, brooding vampire dressed in black from head to toe. Yep, there's my dream guy right there.

And my family calls me 'boy crazy.' Ha, I don't think so.

I may be old enough to have a boyfriend, but men are the least of my worries right now.

Mainly, it's just getting high school done and over with, get a couple of scholarships along the way, get into an art college, finish said college, move to North Dakota, and THEN I might consider getting a boy toy.

Until then...

Men are at the bottom of my list of things-to-do-and-get-done-before-graduation.

And don't call me a nerd.

'Cause I don't study.

In fact, I hate it.

I just happen to have a good memory, when it comes to school work (if you minus history and math).

Ah school. Wonderful place, if you don't mind being categorized into one of 50 other social groups.

My social group, you might ask? (Though I'm quite sure you just want to call a mental asylum right about now.)

Well, I don't consider myself to be anything. I don't have a social group, unless you have one for vampire-obsessed book freaks.

Two completely different categories in one body.

What fun.

Nd to think it was only a few years ago I was this shy, quiet, teacher's pet that had nothing better to do than sit around and read books all day.

Now, I'm some short-tempered, sarcastic, sugar-loving Anime freak with an obsession for fantasy creatures, horror movies, books and art.

Complete turn-around from middle school.

Not only that, but now I hang out with someone from every other social group. Mainly the dark, moody people that are in need of seeing a therapist the majority of the time.

It's a talent of mine I didn't realize I had until last year. Freshman year, for all you slow people. (And if you still hadn't caught on by now, then you should go take a long walk off the shortest pier you can find and stay underwater for a few hours. You'll feel better afterwards.)

You see, my talent lies with communication.

I can talk to almost everyone I meet and become friends with them just as fast.

I say almost, because I'm not very fluent with other languages. In fact, I don't even know what they're saying the majority of the time. Learn English people. Seriously.

Anywho, that's my talent, along with art, music, poetry and writing. That's about it. Oh, and archery. Nothing else athletic, unless you count kicking people as a sport. I highly doubt it.

By the way, remember in the beginning when I mentioned my dream guy being a vampire?

Yeah, that wasn't a joke.

And also...

HE'S REAL.
