"What's the deal with Sarah?" Serena asked, looking over at a panicked Sarah.
"It's the smell," Ethan answered, "She's scarfing junk food to dull the craving."
Benny shook his head and stated, "Mortal foods won't satisfy her hunger. That's Vampire 101."
Crossing her hands, Serena told Ethan, "You better keep an eye on her. And you other fanged friends."
"If anything bad happens, we must rescue the nurses. I am saving that one!" Benny pointed at a gorgeous blonde. "Called it."
As if on instinct, Serena glared at the blonde nurse. Nudging her shoulder, Ethan asked, "What's up with you?"
Waking up from her glare down, Serena answered, "Nothing. I just have to go to class. Bye."
They knew she lied.
"Hey guys, what's-"
"We need your help." Ethan said, cutting her off.
Pulling on his shoulder, Benny told him, "No we don't. Ethan's just-"
"Benny," Ethan scolded before continuing, "We need you to do us a favor."
"Hey Rory. What's up?" Serena greeted, leaning against the locker besides him, biting her lip.
Rory responded giving her a goofy smile before exclaiming, "Oh hey Ser. Nothing much. What did Ethan tell you?!"
Raising her arms up in defense, she answered, "Nothing, I swear. I just wanted to ask; If you could be anyone for one day, who would it be? Thor or the Hulk?"
Rolling his eyes, Rory told her, "Seriously? Thor is a Norse god, with a magic hammer than can summon lightning from the heavens, the Hulk is a big green doofus with purple short shorts. Next time, at least try to make it challenging."
Looking over his shoulder, Serena noticed Benny get away and that's when she smiled and told him, "Thanks. Well-"
"Wait, why did you ask me that? I know for a fact that you hate comic books." As Serena stuttered for an answer, Rory concluded, "Unless you just wanted an excuse to talk because you have a crush on me."
Shaking her head, she said, "What? That's just-What?"
"Face it. You dig me." He told her, leaning in close.
Putting her hands on his chest to keep some distance, she told him panicked, "Rory, Erica's coming."
The second she said that, he was gone. And so was she.
When she finally met up with Benny and Ethan again, she looked over at Ethan and said, "You owe me a 'No questions asked'."
"Come on! We could make a fortune selling your blood to vampires!"
"Nuh-huh! No more needles! Not ever."
"Okay, did I miss something yesterday?" Serena asked, chasing after them.
Flushing a bright shade of red, Ethan lied, "No. Everything's fine."
She nodded, "Good. I guess. Come on, we've got to get to class."
Once she was inside the building, Benny grabbed Ethan's arm and asked him, "Wait, why doesn't Serena know about the whole blood drive situation from yesterday?"
Ethan sighed and explained, "Remember what happened last time when the town was taken over by dead demonic animals? She froze and it took almost an hour for her to wake up from her state. Inviting her to fight vampire nurses-"
"You can't protect her forever." Benny protested.
Removing his arm from Benny's grasp, Ethan told him, "I know I can't but I'm going to try."
