Woo hoo! Oh my gosh, today couldn't have come any faster! So, today and yesterday I had to stay home sick from school. Yuck! Not fun. So, I'm uploading this, and then going to bed. Being sick really tires you out! Ha ha ha, enjoy!

"Why are we going to the nurse's office again?" I asked as I walked with Benny and Ethan.

"There's some sort of event going on, we just wanna check it out." Ethan answered.

"Alright..." I said, not sure.

When we arrived, boys were lined up along the walls. Looking at the nurses inside, I understood why. They were hot, unfortunately. I looked at the banner above them. Blood drive. I shuddered. Needles, ugh.

"Pfft, look at this! It's like opening day for Revenge of the Sith all over again." Benny said. "Just, you know, minus the storm troopers."

"My mom thinks I should donate, she says my blood is 'special'. I think that's exactly why I should keep it where it belongs - in my veins." Ethan said.

"Amen to that." I agreed.

"Dude, she has to say your blood is special. She's your mom. Anyways the reason you don't give blood is because you're scared of needles, ya big chicken." Benny laughed.

"Nothing's wrong with being afraid of needles!" I said defensively.

"I'm not afraid of them. I just... Don't like them." Ethan said.

"Right. Just like the way you don't like the commercial with the dancing crackers!" Benny shook his hips, imitating the crackers. "It freaks you out!"

I snickered "You're afraid of that dancing cracker commercial?"

"I am not!" Ethan denied "I'm just not comfortable eating things that dance. Plus I don't see you two rushing to donate!"

"Uh, yeah! They can lift your entire genetic code from one drop! Like what if someone cloned me? No way am I-" Benny's jaw practically hit the floor as he took in the younger nurse. She was pretty, sure, but come on! Jealousy raced through my core as I saw him admiring her.

"Close your mouth, you'll catch flies." I snapped, elbowing him in the side.

Benny remained unaffected "Then again, I could stand to lose a pint, or two. You know what I'm saying? Come on, unless you're too chicken. Two chickens!" Benny started to imitate a chickens clicking, mocking Ethan and I.

"I'm not a chicken!" Ethan and I cried.

"I'm a hawk! With huge talons, and - and laser eyes!" Ethan continued.

I looked over and saw the young nurse un-cap a needle, and I choked on a gasp and froze. Ethan saw it too and staggered, almost fainting.

"I just have to... Go talk to Sarah! About... Something." Ethan excused, noticing the tan girl walk in with a large bag of chips.

"Fine, more nurse time for me then!" Benny smirked.

I crossed my arms and frowned. Yep, I was definitely jealous that some nurse was getting Benny's attention.

"You alright?" he asked, noticing my stance.

"Fine." I pouted, turning my back to him as Ethan walked back over.

"What's up with Sarah?" I asked him as he rejoined us in line.

"It's the smell. She's scarfing down junk food to dull the craving."

"Normal food isn't gonna satisfy her hunger." Benny said "That's like Vampire 101."

"We better keep an eye on her. And our other fanged friends as well." Ethan looked over at Erica, who was a student nurse. A vampire working at a blood drive? Why had no one ever thought of that?

"Dude, if anything happens, we must rescue the nurses! I am saving that one!" he pointed at the younger nurse "Called it!" My eyes flared, then narrowed in anger.

"Hey, are you ok?" Ethan noticed my facial expression and asked concernedly.

"Just peachy." I hissed through clenched teeth.

Ethan noticed Erica and Rory whispering over a cart of blood. "They're up to something." he warned "I'm gonna try to get closer."

He walked towards the two, but then Erica uncapped a needle and Ethan fainted.

"Oh my god, Ethan!" I rushed over, only to catch a closer look at the needles in the other students' arms and collapsed to the floor in a faint as well.

I was walking with Ethan later on that day and we ran into Rory.

"Hey cuddle-muffin -" I greeted, going for a hug, but Rory immediately said "I can't tell you anything. Erica would kill me. Though I've already said too much..." the blonde fretted as we advanced on him. He turned around and almost ran into Benny who walked up behind him "Gah! Not cool." he stepped around Benny and walked away.

"What's up with count dorkula?" Benny asked with a piece of cookie in his mouth.

"I think Erica's pulling his strings." Ethan said.

"So she's the puppet master..."

"I bet they're after the blood!" I said, stealing Benny's cookie without him noticing.

"Ahh, the crimson nectar, time to call in the big guns." he smiled.

"If you mean Sarah, she's got a lot on her plate today. It's time we got our hands dirty." Ethan rubbed his hands together for effect.

"Good thing I brought hand sanitizer!" Benny brought out a small travel sized bottle of the stuff. I shook my head hopelessly. "You were speaking metaphorically, weren't you." he stated instead of asking.

"Ya think?" I said.

"Gotcha. Hey wait a minute! Aria that was my cookie!"

"Should've paid more attention, sweetie!" I called over my shoulder as I walked away, meaning more about me instead of the cookie.

"What are you guys doing?" I asked, finding Ethan and Benny practically falling over trying to indiscreetly peek around a corner.

"Shhh!" they both shushed me loudly.

"Ok then…"

"Get down!" Ethan hissed, motioning with his hand.

I crouched down and whispered "What are you doing?"

"Watching Rory." Benny whispered.

"Why? Don't you guys like, hate him?"

"Yeah, kind of."

"We're keeping an eye on him in case he or Erica tries to do something to get the blood from the blood drive." Ethan explained.

"Ok." Good enough for me. The two boys turned away from the corner.

"De-de-de-de-de-de surveillance music de-de-de-de-de Spying on you!" Benny sang.

"Benny! Knock it off!" Ethan chastised.

"What? He's just doing her laundry." Benny said.

"Looks like it. But why was he showing her that model spaceship?"

"Ah gee, I don't know. How many times has he brought you'd over to your place?" Benny teased. I giggled, that definitely sounded like a Rory thing to do.

"You're right."

"mmhmm."

"Anyways, the clinics closing. I think our work here is done." Ethan smiled. I let out a sigh of relief.

"You guys wanna come over and play Robo-Zombie? I used a cheat code to unlock a new brain grenade!" Benny said excitedly.

"Ehhh..." Ethan hesitated.

"Well..." I averted my gaze.

"Oh come on! We can still monitor his GPS signal from there!" Benny hassled us.

"Deal." I smiled.

"We've earned it." Ethan nodded "Uh, you two go ahead; I'll catch up, ok?"

We looked at Sarah walking down the hall and nodded, walking away.

It was awkwardly quiet as Benny and I walked. Usually, we playfully bantered or flirted, but after the whole nurse thing, my pride was still wounded. After we went down two hallways Benny stopped me.

"Okay, what is your deal? You've been acting weird all day. First you're moody, and then you're distant. What's up?" he asked.

"Nothing's wrong." I shrugged it off.

"Uh, yeah there is! After we went to the nurse's office you were all weird. You even messed up a question in math! You never screw up in math!" he pressed.

"So what, ok?" I snapped at him "What does it matter if I was off today? Why don't you just go back to making goo-goo eyes at that nurse..."

Benny froze "Is that what this is about, the nurse? What does she have to do with it?"

"Everything, Benny! She has to do with everything!" I exploded "You were so head over heels with some lady you don't even know just because she looked at you!"

"What are you trying to say?!" Benny stepped closer to me so that I had to look up at him.

Fed up, I cried "This!" and put my hand behind his neck and brought him down to me do I could push my lips onto his. We kissed for a few seconds before pulling away, panting.

He stared at me in shock but brought me back in for another, more heated kiss, wrapping his arms tightly around my waist and pressing me close against him. I curled my fingers in his hair before we broke apart.

"You're the only girl I care about, you know that." he smiled.

"I do now." I hugged him close. I pulled away to ask "Does this make us a thing?"

"I think so." he said, not sure.

I giggled, and separated from him to lace his fingers with mine. "Let's go blow up some zombies, eh?"

"You are SO perfect!" he said happily as we walked down the hall.

I lay on Benny's bed playing on my phone while he played a computer game.

"Your phone's making a beepy noise." I noticed.

"It's the GPS." He said.

He looked down at it and studied the GPS. "What are you doing behind the school, Rory?" He let out a sigh in thought "Let's see what Mr. Security Camera has to say." he typed some things on the computer and I got up, walking over.

"You look sexy when you're thinking, you know that?" I murmured, brushing back some hair on the side of his head.

He smirked but said nothing, instead pulling up a video feed of the Blood truck.

"Is that where Rory is right now?" I asked.

"Yeah... I think we gotta go!" he said, getting out his phone and calling someone. "Dude, Rory and Erica are gonna hit the donor van behind the school!"

He hung up and grabbed my hand "Let's go!"

We ran behind the school just in time to see the blood truck pulling out and driving away.

"No!" I yelled out.

"Seriously? We ran for nothing." he panted.

"'S'ok, sweetie." I patted his arm as he leaned over to catch his breath. "Wow you are so out of shape."

"Benny? Aria?" we heard Ethan call from behind us. We turned around to see him running over with Sarah.

"Ethan! You hung up on me!" Benny stormed up to his best friend.

"Really?!" I said, this was so not the time.

"Later! Right now we have vampire nurses to deal with." Sarah said.

"Vampire nurses?" Benny and I said together. Ha, take that pretty bitch. "Alright, that's worth running for."

"Wait, where's Rory and Erica then?" I asked.

"We figured out they were planning to rob the blood truck." Ethan answered.

Benny's phone beeped again. "Ok, Rory's on the move, and fast. Either he's flying or..."

"He's on that truck!" Ethan said.

"They're in danger." Sarah warned "Vampires are super territorial!"

"We gotta grab our gear and go after them, and fast." Ethan said, and we ran off.

In Ethan's room, I helped Benny load up the duffel bag of our make-shift weapons.

"Look what I found" Ethan said from the computer "These blood sucking nurses have over thirty towns on their route. They've been running this scam for years. But, it wouldn't run much longer if everyone knew they weren't real nurses. We can use that info against them."

"You mean like, to bore them to death? Could work." Benny said, and started backing out the door "Anyways, we gotta go. Rory and Erica are in trouble, and I think Sarah is downstairs eating all of your raw meat."

"Ew." I scrunched my nose and followed him.

We met Sarah downstairs. Benny waited at the door while I grabbed Sarah in the kitchen.

"You doing ok, hun?" I asked, watching disgusted as she drained the blood out of a steak.

"I'm fine..." she said, wiping her mouth.

I pulled out a stick of gum and said "Here, chew on this." she accepted it and put it in her mouth.

"Soo..." I leaned against the counter and smiled impishly.

"What?" she smiled back. I bit my lip and waggled my eyebrows, looking towards where Benny stood at the front door. It hit her then "Oh my gosh. You and-?" I nodded. "Awesome!" we went in for a hug but she stopped "Yeah, I will wanna drink your blood, so... hug later?"

"Sure."

"It's not like these two noobs would put up much of a fight anyways." I heard the younger nurse say as we rounded the corner.

"Maybe they won't." Sarah started.

"But we will." Ethan finished.

"You?" she asked.

"Us." I crossed my arms.

"Yeah, and me... too." Benny said. We all looked at him in confusion. "I-I'm Benny, we met earlier. I'm the one who didn't pass out." he brought up his finger slowly to point at Ethan and I.

"Benny, take Aria and get to Rory and Erica "Ethan said wearily "Sarah and I will hold them off."

Benny and I ran to the front of the truck as the sounds of fighting flared up behind us.

Benny opened the door and hopped inside. He flipped a few switches and pulled apart a wire. "Good thing one of us is a genius in advanced electronics." he put them together and the wires shocked him.

"Yeah, good thing." I snorted. "Try holding it by the plastic."

We eventually got it hooked up to a wireless remote that would open the back door at the push of a button. We ran to the back of the truck. All the fighting was stopped the nurses held a bag of blood.

"Behold, the power of technology!" Benny announced, pointing the remote at the truck and pressing the button. It made a series of beeps but did nothing.

"It didn't work. Why didn't it work?!" I hissed.

Benny pushed the buttons a few more times and smacked it. He then tried waving it and said "Doorus Openus."

I groaned and smacked my forehead.

The nurses rolled their eyes and walked over to the doors, unlocking them manually and opening them. Inside sat Rory and Erica, kissing.

My jaw dropped. "Holy crap!"

Hearing me, Erica tore away from the little blonde and said "This isn't what it looks like! He wouldn't shut up! Even kissing him seemed less annoying!" she and Rory hopped out and the older nurse groaned.

"Ugh, I'm surrounded by vampire noobs!"

They shut the door and the younger one said "Let's get out of here."

They got in the truck and Sarah asked our two vampire friends "Do you guts need a ride home?"

"No, we're good. It's nice out, and I think we could use the flight practice." Erica smiled, motioning for Rory to follow her.

He grinned at us and gave a thumbs up before following after her. Once he rounded the side of the truck and out of our sights, there was a loud smack and Rory's cry of "Ow!"

"Well, something tells me Rory wasn't trying too hard to open that door." Benny nudged me and winked.

"Doorus Openus?" Ethan asked.

"Stupidus Doofusus?" Sarah taunted.

"Oh come on! We could make a fortune selling your blood to vampires!" Benny tried to convince Ethan.

"Uh-uh! No more needles. Ever." Ethan denied.

"I could cast a fear reversal spell!"

"No thanks! I value my life."

"Turn one goldfish inside out, and suddenly you're Lord Voldemort!" Benny complained.

"I never had that problem. Sorry sweetie." I sympathized as I took his hand in mine. "Hey Sarah!" I called as we came up behind her.

"No chips today?" Ethan asked when she turned around.

"Yeah, the whole bloodlust thing was intense, but now that the blood drive's over it's all good now." she looked at Ethan worriedly "You still smell good to me."

"Gee, thanks. So do you." he said.

"You smell good to me." I smiled up at Benny while Sarah and Ethan finished their conversation, something about Erica not having any blood to take home from the drive.

"You smell like cherries." he teased back down to me.

"Wait a sec... Are you two, like, dating now?" Ethan asked.

I held up our intertwined hands "Oh yes." I smiled.

I feel like these chapters are just getting shorter and shorter... I'm gonna have to change that!
