SLAM!

"Lexi, darling, don't slam the door," my mom said, cheerfully. I rolled my eyes and threw my bag on the floor. (Did I mention my mom called me Lexi??) My mom hardly ever got angry. Her voice was high-pitched and sweet sounding.

I walked into the kitchen, where my mom was cooking.

"Oh, what a gorgeous outfit, Lexi! Is that your school uniform?" my mom asked.

I nodded.

"Well, it looks beautiful on you!" she commented.

"Thanks, mom."

Even though I hate this uniform…

"So, how was your first day at school?" she asked, stirring a mixture of something.

Fun; boring; annoying; incredible; unbelievable; and downright crazy.

"Eh, so-so…" I said, shrugging. "How was your job?" I questioned.

"Oh, I quit. It turns out it was incredibly boring… maybe I'll work as a waitress or something…" she said.

Of course. She had quit her job again. I sighed as I stared at her. I got my appearance from her. Dark brown hair and almond colored eyes. Average height (though she was a bit taller than me) and an average figure.

"What'cha makin'?" I asked, looking toward the bowl.

"I… really don't know. Just experimenting, really. I'll tell you if it tastes okay, though…" she finished quietly, pouring some cinnamon into the mixture.

I knew how the 'experiment' would end. She would throw it in the trash and order, either Chinese food, or pizza.

WooHoo! MORE PIZZA!! Sorry… (Did I mention I'm obsessed with pizza??)

"Okay, mom. Well, good luck with that." I walked to my room and closed the door. I reached my stereo and turned on some random loud music. Loud music usually helped when I was either angry or I just didn't want to think. My window was open, but I didn't care if anyone complained. I listened to the beats of the music, and the lyrics.

Zeth was a werewolf. Blake was a vampire. They both are trying to befriend me… Vampires are going to try and find me… What about my mom?? Will they hurt her?? AGH! Why does the world hate me so darn much?? I never asked for anything of this! Give it to someone who does want it!!

A breeze blew in from the window, making me shiver. It smelled kind of like flowers… then I recognized the scent.

Cucumbers -- (There were no cucumbers around here…)

And Honeysuckle (As much as I liked the smell, they didn't grow around here, either…)

My body filled with rage.

"Blake! Zeth! Why the heck are you two spying on me!!??" I yelled, turning toward the window. There was the sound of quiet whispering, but no other answer.

'Darn it, you two! Either come out or I'm going to throw my stereo at you!" I screamed, even louder.

There was no sound.

Oh, they think I won't do it, huh??

I grabbed my stereo, while pulling the cord from the wall, and chucked it out the window. I heard a loud thunk as it hit something. I mean, I was kind of strong in a way… a little stronger than an average girl.

"Ouch!!!" Zeth appeared outside my window and after a second Blake did too. They must have been crouching underneath my window… Zeth was holding his head, with both hands, while Blake was laughing hysterically.

"Haha!! Good joob Alexandria! I mean, that was totally--"

I reached over and tugged my lamp from my bedside and threw it at him.

"Ack!" The lamp hit Blake on the head. Normally things wouldn't really hurt vampires or werewolves, right? I suppose the reason I could throw things with such strength, had something to do with my being a freak (a protector and a healer)

"What the heck, Alexandria!?" Blake exclaimed rubbing his head.

I glared at both of them, angrily. Then I started laughing. They both stared at me, gaping.

"You guys are so funny," I said, getting of the bed and walking toward the window. I leaned against the window sill, just inches away from their faces.

They had different reactions. Blake leaned even closer to me and inhaled; Zeth looked at the ground and his cheeks grew slightly red.

"So, what? You two are working together now?" I questioned.

"Well," Zeth started, pushing Blake back, away from me (he was getting incredibly close) "We figured, we have to protect you… so…"

"Ah, so you teamed up, huh? So typical…" I sighed and closed my eyes.

"Lexi, who are you talking to?" My mom questioned, from the kitchen.

Agh! Mom calls me Lexi, Blake calls me Alexandria, and Zeth calls me Miracle! WHY!!???

"Travis," I said, promptly.

"Okay, then!" my mom said.

"Who's Travis?" Blake asked, opening his eyes.

"My puppy… He's a cute wittle Chihuahua!" I exclaimed.

"Ew…" Blake and Zeth said at the same time.

"Oh shush." Travis hopped onto my lap, and licked my face. Blake and Zeth cringed.

"Hey! She like dogs, Zeth! Maybe you have a chance with her!" Blake exclaimed, sarcastically.

"Why you… You're right," he said, calmly, "I guess I will make my move on Miracle."

"No you won't!" Blake yelled.

"Would you two shut up?" I snapped. Travis jumped from my lap, and ran off. "So what're we gonna do about this vampire problem!?" I questioned, in a whisper.

"Uh… We haven't exactly--" Zeth started.

"No clue," Blake interrupted.

"Ah… I HATE YOU BOTH!" I yelled.

"You've got two boyfriends?" my mom questioned. I spun around and stared at her.

"Uh… no. Just one. The other is just a friend!" I said, quickly.

"Which one is your boyfriend?" she asked, still curious.

"Uh… … … …"

I'm STUPID!! Now I have to pick between Blake and Zeth!! Let's see… Blake = Hot.

Zeth = Cute.

Blake = Outgoing

Zeth = Shy.

Blake = Blunt

Zeth = Cute… Wait… I already pointed that out. AGH! Which one!? Which one!?

"Er.. The one on the left!?" I questioned, loudly.

"Oh? The one with black hair?" my mom questioned. "He's very handsome!"

Black hair…? Oh, don't tell me I picked--

"I'm Blake. Alexandria has told me all about you. It's a pleasure to finally meet the woman who made such a beautiful girl. I can see where she gets her looks from," Blake said.

Wowies… what a brownnoser. WAIT!! Blake's my boyfriend!!? Aww, man!! I saw Zeth looked shocked.

"He's your… and you picked… WHAT!?" Zeth questioned.

"And, er, this is my absolute best friend, who's the most amazing person I've ever met--" (Okay, I'm exaggerating… I'm NERVOUS!!) "--and a really cool guy!! He's Zeth!" I said, pointing to him.

Zeth stared at me for a second, then smiled widely.

"Yeah, we're best friends," he said.

"And you're very cute, too!" my mom exclaimed.

Oh, joy. Guys loved being called cute.

"I'm sorry, but you're going to have to leave, though," she said. "It was very nice meeting you two!"

"Nice to meet you!" Zeth smiled.

"Very nice to meet you!" Blake added. Zeth glared at him. They both stood up, and walked away, though I knew they weren't really going to leave.

"Aw! You have a boyfriend!" my mom chirped. "Oh, I ordered Chinese food. It'll be here in a bit," she added, before she left.

*Sniff* I wanted pizza…

I woke up the next morning, and got dressed. My mom had left a note saying:

Went to look for a new job!

Love you!!

I shrugged and walked outside, throwing my backpack over my shoulder. My jaw dropped.

"Hey," Blake said. He was standing in front of a black convertible. "I thought I'd drive you to school, since we're boyfriend and girlfriend now."

Huh!?
