The life was practicaly being sucked out of me.

I lay there in the same hospital bed.
It must have been weeks now, maybe months.
"You are so strong" Dad said flatly.
I coughed, "Not for long" I mumbled.

"Hello, Henry" Dad greeted himas he came in.
Henry nodded, "Can i speak to Leah alone?" He looked grim.
"Sure" Dad looked curious, but he left.
I looked up at him, i couldn't be bothered speaking.
"You aren't getting better" He said.
"I know, stop reminding me!" I said angrily.
"So...you have two choices" He said with a little hope.
"They would be?" I asked, curious.
"One; you keep trying to get better, and risk dying, or Two; I make you a vampire" He said.
"What!?" I was scared.
"I can make you a vampire, because once you change into an imortal, everything that was wrong with you, will be miraculously healed" he smiled at me, showing his fangs.

I thought about it for a long time.
I sighed "Okay, make me a vampire"
This was not what i had planned for my future, not at all.
And to be honest i didn't want to be, but at the same time, everything would be easier.
I guess i had to, if i wanted a future.
"Okay, we will need to wait until it's dark, and the nurses put lights out and then i will sneak in, and.." He trailed off.
I nodded, i must have had a scared look on my face.
"Don't worry, you will be great" he smiled, "The most beautiful and healthy vampire ever, and if you really want to, you can bite Cindy' head off" He laughed.
"I might consider that" I smiled slyly.

"Lights out" The nurse shouted.
The lights went off, most people went to sleep, as i sat there in the dark.
Hospitals are creepy in the dark, they really are.
I coughed up some more blood, this hurt.
I toom a slip of water.
I sighed.

I heard light footsteps on the ground, hopefully it was Henry.
"Little girl" A voice said.
"Oh, god" I muttered.
He heard, "I'm the one who bit your Henry" He said.
"Oh, joy" I didn't care.
"Hmm? this is not fun" He sounded irritated.
"Mmm, how so?" I asked.
"Your going to get bitten tonight, but i want your blood, so i might have to now" He said, he smiled.
"NO" Henry shouted.
"Shh, everyone is sleeping" I said.
henry dug his nails into the man's eyes, blood was all over his hands and the man's face.
I looked away.
I heard a growl, then someone biting something.
Henry had bitten the man.
He shrieked in pain, then fell to the ground.

"What the hell!" I shouted, my voice sounded scared.
"You ready?" He asked.
I gulped, "I guess"
He whispered, "I love you"
I smiled.

His fangs bit deep into my skin, it was only slightly painful.
Not what i expected.
He sucked a little, must have wanted some blood.
Not what i expected, but it felt nice.
He pulled away wiping blood from his mouth.
I felt nothing after that, absolutly nothing.
"Is that it?" I asked.
"What!" Henry shouted, "That's weird"
Just then pain shot through me, I screamed.
I wanted to rip my heart out, it hurt so much.
Henry put his hand over my mouth.
Thank god.

The burning ended.
Everything stopped, Henry removed his hand.
He peered down at me.
"Leah?"
"Yes" I said, my voice sounded different, it was harmonious now.
"Wow" He said, "You are heartbrakingly beautiful"
I felt like i could blush, i wonder if i still could.
"Your blushing, how is that possible?" he said.
I shrugged.
He showed me a mirror, i touched my face.
whoa, i was pretty.
I had never said that about myself, but i was.

I realized i hadn't been breathing, i breathed in.
I didn't need to, but it felt odd not to.
I could smell the wooden floors, i could smell under them, my nose wrinkled in disgust.
"Ew!" I said.
"Yes, it isn't very pleasant" Henry laughed.
I smiled.
I touched my side teeth.
Fangs.
"Cool" I said.

I got out of bed, and touched the table with my pinky, i then pushed ever so slighty, and the table had a huge dent.
I laughed.
"Neat, huh?" He asked.
"Yes, this is so cool" I muttered.

How was my dad going to react.
"What about my dad?" I asked.
"You look the same, don't worry, and remember you have been sick, so you will probably just look super healthy" he smiled.
"Thank goodness" i grinned at him.

Everthing was so new, the world is amazing in a vampire's eyes.





~The end~

A group of WHAT!?

"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Henry asked, he sounded so paniced.
"Yes, It's just the dandi-Nongs, What could go wrong?" I smiled, trying to ease his tension.
"Okay, I might keep close though..." He trailed off, "Just in case" He added.
"Deal" I said, then went to my locker.

I was going away to the Dandi-Nongs, this Saturday. My dad had planned it, he wanted to get me out of the house, he said, qoate "I want to spend more time with you, your growing up so fast". Secretly meaning, "You don't get out enough, so I'm taking you out against your will".

Henry walked me home, he didn't mind walking at my pace.
"What did you mean when you said, 'You'll keep close?" I asked casualy.
He caught on, "Oh, not like walking behind you" He laughed "I mean, I'll be about, and your dad won't have a clue" He smiled, clearly answering my second question.
I stopped, he turned at the exact time, Him and his magical powers. I must admit i was jealous, but i suppose they did come in handy.
"What's wrong?" He asked, suddenly worried.
I pulled him towards me by his t-shirt, he caught on, again.
Our lips met, it was a short but sweet kiss.
"I feel better now" I muttered.
He laughed.
I forgot about his super hearing.

That saturday i had a nice long shower, and got dressed into a pretty skirt and top.
"You look nice" Dad said at the door.
"Thanks, next time knock" I added.
He tryed to hide a smile, "Okay, sweetie , we should leave soon, maybe 10 minutes?" He muttered.
"Sure thing, Daddio" I smiled.
He walked away.
I clambered into the car, and pulled my skirt down, it was one of the ones that goes up when you sit down. Grr, maybe a bad idea to wear it, but what could i do now.
Dad drove off, and i noticed a taxie not far behind us, i peered in my side mirror, i saw a familiar smile. Henry.
I giggled slightly.
"What?" Dad asked.
"Oh, uhmm...I'm excited" I lied, even though i was.
He smiled to himself.

Once we arrived we got lunch in a nice little cafe, we talked about anything and everything.
It had been a while since we had, It felt nice.
We then walked around for a bit, and dad wanted to go to a car store, so i said i would go to the river, and sit for a while.
"You sure?" He asked.
"yes, I'll probably just sketch some things" I shrugged.
"Okay, pumpkin" He wandered off.
I walked the opposite way.
I sat and sketched for a while.

I heard a rustle in the tree next to me, i looked up.
Nothing.
I went back to drawing.
Another movement, but this time it was on the ground.
I looked around.
Nothing.
"Dad?" I asked, my voice sounded scared.
And another rustle, and a hissing noise, then a growl, i turned as i faced my nightmare.

A female vampire stood there, fangs bared at me.
"Oh, my god" i said high pitched.
she smiled evily.
Two more vampires appeared, one female and the other male.
"Do you know how good you smell..." The male said.
"Considering we haven't eaten for..." The female trailed off.
"Two days" The main female finished.
That was just weird, they were finishing each others sentences.
The female in 'Charge' lunged at me, smashing me to the ground.
Owch, that hurt, i tryed to scramble away.
One grabbed my leg, "You ain't going nowhere" He said.
I screamed, "Henry!" I called.
The female covered my mouth, and moved my hair out of the way.
The one in charge moved over to my neck, and within a second, without hesitation, she bit.
I felt her fangs deep inside me, i wanted to scream, and rip my throught out, it was so painful.

Blackout.

Someone was shaking me after that, i blinked, "Henry?" I asked, i sounded zoned out.
"Yes" He said, "I'm here, are you?"
"I wish i wasn't, im in so much pain" I sat up, and felt sick.
I turned to the side, and threw up everywhere.
I turned back to Henry, feeling embarassed as my cheeks felt hot.
"Lets get you to hospital" He said, then kissed my cheek.

I lay in the hospital bed for quite some time, then sleep took me.
I woke the next day with sun in my eyes, i felt sick again.
I turned to a bucket and threw up in it, i did this 4 times, then got a nurse.
"How sick am I?" I asked.
"Very, it's going to get worse before it gets better" She said, then walked away to get a doctor.
That must have been an infetious vampire bite. eww.
Henry walked in, "Leah!?" He asked, as if it was unbelievable i was alive.
I vomited in the bucket again.
I felt awful.
"What's wrong with me?" I asked.
Before he could speak, something clicked in my head.
"Wait!" I shouted, "Shouldn't i be like you now?" I asked.
"Thats the thing, they weren't normal vampire's, they were Kilnolious vampires" He said, looking sadly at me.
"Which means?" I coughed, blood was in the cough.
I gasped, "Blood"
He shrugged, "Im okay with it"
"What does it mean, 'Kilnolious Vampires'?" I asked, really curious.
"They bite, like any other vampire, and they kill them, but if they are stopped mid bite, it spreads a bacteria into your system, and then eventually if not treated right it can kill you, but you will be fine, it just spreads and gets worse, but then it starts getting better" He smiled in a sad way.
"Fuck off" I said, then turned away from him.
"What?" He looked astonished.
"You heard me, you could have stopped this, you could have told me not to go" I said.
"Leah, I'm not leaving your side, I know your angry, but you will be fine" He said.
"Im sorry" I said, "I didn't mean it"
He kissed me, after giving me a breath mint, i mean i had been vomiting all day.

I had never felt so lost and sad in my life, not even when Henry left.
I could die.

"Am I going to die?" I asked Henry.
"Noway" He said.
"Promise?" I muttered.
"I do" He said, then smiled.
He kissed my forehead and sat next to me.

Over the weeks, i got worse and worse, i lost my voive, i vomited now and then, some of my limbs were numb, and i drifted in and out of sleep. I had headaches all the time.
"I love you" Henry said, while crying that night.
I mouthed 'I love you' Back, then looked questioningly at him.
He shook his head.
I looked angrily at him.
"Okay, They say your not getting better" He bawled.
I started crying.
I was going to die.

I just ran into you.

I was running home from school, I hated staying after school on friday and talking to people...unless it was Henry.



The only problem was that i had't seem him for 2 months. Were we still together? Probably not.
Was i ever going to see him again? Probably not. Was i going to be a loner? Probably.
The only possitive thing was, that my body and face had healed and i was back to the normal me. Except i was lonely. Henry made me feel warm, even thhough he was ice cold.
He kept me safe, even though somewhere deep inside of him, something evil wanted to kill me. I was okay with that though. I love him. Well lov-ed him, im not so sure anymore.
One single tear poured down my cheek, i wiped it away fast, i had to move on, he was not going to keep me under a shaddow of pain and sorrow. I would move on. And i will.

That saturday my phone rang, my heart stopped, it did so whenever my phone rang. I guess i always had a slight hope that it might be him calling. It never was.
"Hey, Wanna come out for lunch with me, and a few friends?" Marcy asked, i could tell she was smiling.
"Sure" I said.
"Okay, meet me at 'The Little Cafe', in...15 minutes?" She asked.
"Yep" I nodded slightly to myself.
We hung up.
I put on jeans and a T-shirt, ruffled my hair, and set off for 'The Little Cafe'.
Marcy waved at me, beside her stood two girls, they were taller than us, but most people were.
I sighed, how was i going to survive meeting new people.
"Hi, I'm Lissa" The smaller of the two said, she had golden curls, that stopped at her shoulders.
I smiled, "Leah"
"Hello there, I'm Natalie" The tallest one said, she was pretty and had a big grin on her face. Her hair was a really nice shade of red with was in plats.
I smiled, "Lea- I just said it, sorry, memory like a gold-fish"
Natalie laughed, "Your funny"
"And pretty" Lissa said.
I shook my head, they laughed.
We ate some sandwitches, then walked to Marcy's. SHe insited we went to her house to watch a movie.
I liked the girls, they were nice, a lot like Marcy.
"Do you go to our school?" I asked quietly.
"Yes, but we are in completly opposite classes" Natalie said.
"Which is a shame, because you two are both very nice, and it would be good to have a chat with you in class" Lissa said, then giggled.
I half-smiled.

I walked home, it was dark. I didn't care about what Henry had said about the ally, i really didn't care anymore. I cut down, and ran for it.
I liked my mortal life, and didn't want to change, but i thought about it.
If i were imortal, i could sniff henry out, and find him. nah thats stupid, he left for a reason, i shouldn't barge back into his life, he had probably found a sexy vampire to sleep with I mean spend his imortal life with, oh, god. Now I'm miserable. Good job Leah.
I shook my head. I hated my thoughts sometimes.
I was almost at the end of the ally way, when i ran straight into someone...or something, it was hard as rock.
"Owch" i muttered, "Sorry" I said.
Silence.
I moved to the side, and started walking again, as i was walking away i heard a familiar voice.
"You never listen, do you" They said.
I turned, my eyes almost popping out of my head.
They snickered, "Leah?" They were making sure it was me.
"Yes" I said, "Henry?"
He was suddenly right before me, "Yes"
I wanted to hug him, but i remembered. We weren't together.
"Bye now" I said, then started walking away.
I turned and left the ally way, i heard footsteps behind me, even though they were quiet as a mouse.
"Why are you following me?" I asked loudly.
"Oh, umm..." He stuttered, "Could you hear me!?" he seemed shocked.
"Yes" I said happily.
I turned around, "What is it?"
"I thought you would have said more than 'yes', and 'bye', thats all" He blurted out.
"Nope, i mean...we aren't really...anything, there is nothing to our relationship..." I trailed off.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?" He yelled.
I backed away, "You left me" Tears started over flowing my cheeks, crap. I held my breath to make them stop.
He obviously noticed i was crying, "Im so sorry, i had to...there was so much blood!" He said, feeling guilty.
"For so long" I choked.
"Yes, or i would have killed you" He snapped.
"Well, i wouldn't have cared" I said, i was being stubborn.
"I would have, because..." he trailed off.
"Bye" I went to walk away.
"So that's it?" He asked after me.
"Maybe" I said sneekly, "You do have all the time in the world, right?"
I could tell he was curious, "What on earth are you on about, are you drunk?"
"Forget it" I walked away.
I walked fast, he ended up beside me, "What?" He asked.
I was crying, no sobbing is more like it.
"Why are you crying?" He asked, suddenly worried.
"Because" I worked up the courage, "Because i missed you" I blurted out.
"Aww, Leah, I missed you way more, and you wanna know something?" He said.
"Whaaat?" I gasped for air.
"I love you, and im sorry i had to leave" He smiled slightly.
More tears flooded out of my eyes, but this time they were happy.
He loves me, he wants me, everthing is...good.
"I have always loved you, and im glad your back, are you going to stay?" I asked, i had managed to stop crying.
"Yes, You need a protector, you fall over enough" He said, "And a lover" He raised his eyebrows up and down.
I stepped up onto the kirb, he kissed me, i kissed back eagerly.
We were kissing for some time, until a car beeped at us, it was dad. shoot.
I pulled away, my cheeks must have been crimson.
"Leah!" He yelled, "I called you a billion times, where is your phone?" He asked angrily.
"Uhmm...sorry, i must have left it at Marcy's" I said in a small voice.
"AND WHO IS THIS!?" He jabbed a finger in Henry's direction.
I hesitated, "This is Henry" I stuttered, i wasn't sure wither to say Boyfriend, so i left it.
"Nice to meet you, maybe this wasn't the best time, but it is nice to meet you, im her boyfriend" Henry said.
"Oh, Hello, Leah. IN THE CAR!" He shouted at me.
I went into the car without a sound, i smiled at Henry, he smiled back.
So perfect.
"Henry, he seemed nice, were you having fun?" Dad asked.
I blushed, "He is nice"
We ended it at that, thank the lord himself.
Everything seemed to be back in order, for now.

The end and the begining of complete loneliness.

Oh, I was happy.
Henry held my hand while walking, even though his hand was cold i didn't care, I loved him.
He opened his mouth to speak, i was waiting for something special, then my face dropped, "What do we have today?" He asked.
I sighed, then shrugged, "Maths, English, Art, Science"
He nodded.
Everything went silent, i turned to look at CIndy, she had a glare on her face, then once i turned my head around again i smacked into a tree.
"Owch" i rubbed my nose, i noticed blood on my hand.
Henry pulled away from my hand, and held his breath.
The pain in my nose was excrushiating, it was worse than spliting your knee open, which i've done 3 times.
Why was I so uncowardinated!?
I ran to the nurse, i must have looked stupid, but blood was going everywhere.
After she helped me clean it up, i smiled pleasantly then left quickly.
I walked out of school and sat on the steps outside, just my luck.
How could i go out with a vampire, when i was always bleeding?
Henry sat next to me, "Sorry" He said.
"No, Im sorry, How did you manage to..." my voice went into a whisper, "To not drink the rest of my blood?" I asked.
"I just held my breath, because you mean a lot to me, and i don't want you dead" he said softly.
I half-smiled, "Thanks"
"For what?" He asked.
"Not killing me" I laughed.
At recess I was thinking aout vampires again, What would happen if i became a vampire, would i be a danger to my family?
I couldn't think straight.
Henry came over and kissed me, i kissed back.

~1 months later~

Henry picked me up to go to the school prom, i was wearing a nice black dress, my hair was straight, it felt odd, because my hair was never straight.
"You look beautiful" Henry said, "Heartbreakingly beautiful"
"Thanks" I felt my face get hot.
He stroked my cheek, and i blushed.
"You blush so much, it's really cute" He smiled.
I smiled back, feeling very embarassed.
Once we arrived we sat at the back of the place, on a balcony.
It was cold, so he tried not to touch me to much.
He sniffed in deep, then hissed.
"What?" I asked worridly.
He put his finger to my lips, and sniffed again.
I looked at him curiously.
"Vampire" He hissed through his teeth.
I felt suddenly very frightened, "How many?"
stupid question, obviously there wasn't just him and the one that bit him.
"A hell of a lot, looks like 2 coming this way" He said urgently, "I'll go and...investigate"
"No, you might get hurt" I said.
"I have to, or...you could get hurt" He said angrily.
"Me?" I said in a tiny high pitched voice.
He nodded, then jumped of the balcony, i watched him go. He managed to do it so gracefuly.
I heard footsteps behind me, probably Cindy and her friends.
I looked around, it was.
I bit my lip, "what now?" I asked shyly.
"We wanted to teach you a leason" Tanya said.
I looked questioningly at them.
"About not being somewhere alone" Bianca added.
Oh, no. They were going to hurt me, physicaly.
I gasped.
Cindy walked forward, and slapped me in the face. I didn't want to fight back, because then i would get in trouble.
My head swung to the side, then Tanya kicked my stomach, i was winded.
I fell to the ground, and stopped breathing.
Bianca kicked me in the ribs 3 times. Something cracked.
I screamed in pain, "Stop!"
"No" Cindy said.
She punched my eye, and nose.
I felt blood trickle down my cheek as Tanya dug her nails into my skin and scratched.
I lay there limp, i was in to much pain to do anything.
My eye was going to be black tomorrow. If i survived, and my nose was bleeding again, my cheek was gushing with blood. My ribs were in agony, my stomach was brusied, my head killed.
It was hard to breath, i think one of my ribs was out of place.
They all walked away, and i breathed in and out unevenly.
I heard a deep growl, as Henry, well i hope Henry returned.
"To much blood" He said through his teeth.
I gasped.
Henry kneeled beside me, he kised my forhead, then he smelt the blood from my nose and cheek. He got closer breathing in deeply.
"Your blood smell so good" He tryed to fight against the urge.
My eyes rolled, i kept them looking at him.
"Help me" I gasped, "I can't breath"
He nodded, and called 999.
I heard the ambulance coming far in the distance.
The urge took over Henry, "I'm sorry Leah" He said, then his eyes changed, then went evil.
He bent down over my neck, and before he could bite, someone called from the door.
"Get me a stretcher"
Henry stopped, and backed into a corner, then vanished.
Everything went black.
I'm dead, I'm dead. Am I dead?
My eyes opened, it was morning. I was lying in a hospital bed. There was flowers for me, i bent over to read the card:
Sorry Leah,
I love you, but i might not be able to see you for a little while.
I'm still beating myself up about what happened, I'm so unbelievably sorry.
I promise. You. Will. See. Me. Again.
Love Henry x
I started crying, now Henry had to stay away because he had tryed to kill me.
I had so many questions.
Dad came in, "Oh, my, Leah, How are you?" He asked.
I wiped my eyes, "Terrible"
"Why are you crying, are you in pain!?" He asked, suddenly panicy.
"No, only mental pain" I said.
"Who did this to you!?" He asked, furiously.
"Cindy, Bianca, and Tanya" I said, then remembered bad memories.
I shuddered.
"They will be in big trouble" He promised.
I nodded, "Can you pass me a mirror, i want to know the damage"
He handed me a mirror, i looked into it.
There was me, but it wasn't me, i looked paler, there was a deep scratch on my cheek, my eye was black. I looked down to my ribs, i had a bandage around me.
I started crying, i looked horrible.
Dad rubbed my shoulder, "It will get better" He soothed.
"I miss henry, but he had to go somewhere" I said, more tears poured over.
"He saved you" Dad said.
I could only nod.
How long until i saw him again?

Omg, jon!?

I rushed down the hall way to my locker, to find that my clock was fast. Crap, i had just embarassed myself.

Cindy glared at me when i looked up, she still wasn't over the fact that i 'tryed to steal her boyfriend'. Which i didn't, i have no interest for nathaniel.
"Look, it's Leah" Bianca said in a harsh tone.
"mmmm-yes, what a bitch" Cindy angreed.
"Who's boyfriend you gonna steal next-well attempt" Tanya said.
"Gee, I'm not sure, I'm not really into the whole stealing boyfriends thing, that sounds more like...hmm? your thing" I faced Cindy.
She mouthed 'Fuck you' to me.
I walked away, i laughed silently to myself, and walked straight into Henry.
"Sorry, Sweetie" He said quickly.
I raised one eyebrow, "Sweetie?" I asked in a small voice.
He shrugged, "I dunno" He laughed.
I smiled.
I started to walk off again, but he caught my arm fast, i forgot he was all fast and powerful now.
"YES?" I said loudly.
"MArcy is over there, i think you should speak to her" He said sadly.
"WHy?" I asked.
"She's sad" He said, "I would know" He added.
I flicked his ear, "Damn you, Mr.Powers" I smiled to myself at how lame i was.
I wondered over to ger, "Hey, Marc-Marce" I greeted her.
She nodded, and tears over-flowed her eyes.
"Aww, shoot, whats up?" I asked worridly.
"My" she choked out, "My...brother was hit by a car and is in a coma" She said, then started crying again.
I hugged her tight, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm sure He's fine" I soothed her.
Marcy's brother was 19, he was called Jon...and lets say he was a bit stupid sometimes. I suppose we all are though.
"No. They said," She spluttered, "She said that he has a 50% chance of dying" she started crying again.
I thought about that, and i agreed it wasn't exactly good, "Well, think about it, he also has a 50% chance of living" I half-smiled.
She seemed calm, and got her stuff and i wiped her tears away, then we walked to class, we didn't say anything, not a single word on the way, i was a bit scared to.
Henry nudged m ever so slightly, then he brushed past my arm with two words, "Good job" He said it so low, that Marcy didn't hear.
I half-smiled again. Someone thought that i had done good, wow. Accomplishment felt good.
I wondered into class, with Marcy close by my side, we sat down, and she smiled at me, "Thanks" She murmered.
The teacher started checking the roll.
"Cindy?"
"Yes" She called in a girly high pitched voice.
I rolled my eyes, and henry muffled his laughter, it was weird knowing that he knew everything i was doing.
"Bianca?"
"Yo" She said in a gangsta try hard voice.
I snickered to myself.
"Floss?"
"Yep" the girl said happily in a chirpy tone.
"Marcy?"
She hesitated, probably not trusting her voice, "Umm...yeah" She said trying t hide her sadness.
"Leah?"
I was dazing and didn't realize, she cleared her throught, and Henry nudged my leg under the table.
"Oh, yep, sorry" I said in a tiny voice.
"Henry?"
"Here" He said so perfectly.
after she had marked the roll, we all got into our Art work.
"I want you to all have finished your self-portrate by the end of this class" The teacher announced.
I sighed. My drawing skills were good, but my face had a problem, it was way off perfect. There was my eyes, they were small, then my mouth it was small, and then my hair it was messy, and my nose, it was...just weird. I always wore lipbalm to make my lips a bit bigger. I don't think it ever worked though.
When i looked at pictures of mum she always had the perfect sized lips, perfect big eyes, and just she was beautiful. I wish i was more like her.
I yawned, and the bell rang, i had succeded in finishing my portrate.
"Class, these will be hung in the hall, so i hope your happy with what you have done" The teacher said.
I almost fainted, Everyone would se my ugliness. Well, i should be used to it.
At lunch i started the weirdest conversation with Marcy, "Marcy?"
"Yah?" she answered.
"Have you" I paused, "Ever...kissed a guy?"
She chuckled, "Yes, why?" SHe asked.
"No, reason" I said. I then looked at the ground.
Her eyes poped open, "You.Have.Never.Kissed.A.Guy!?"
"uhh..well...maybe, but i don't think so" I said, then felt my face get hot.
"Wow" SHe said.
"I know, Im a loser" I said, sadly.
"No, your not" She smiled at me.
"Oh, come on, I'm 18 and have never been kissed!" I said louder than i wanted to.
Henry walked around the corner, the sunlight was in his eyes, "Hey girls" he said.
He was followed by 2 other boys.
"Who's your other friends?" Marcy asked. She seemed interested.
I nodded.
"Oh, this is Tim, and Lars" He pointed to them in turn.
"Hey" Tim said he was looking at me and smiled, i half-smiled back.
"Hello" Lars said, looking at Marcy.
"Hey" Marcy said smiling at him.
I laughed, Marcy liked Lars.
I went and sat on the steps near our 'area', Henry and Tim joined me.
Marcy and Lars were just staring at each other, Lars smiled at her, she giggled.
I whispered to henry, "I think they like each other"
"Oh, yeah, Captain obvious" He luaghed i laughed too.
"So, Leah..." Tim said to me, trying to be subtle.
I raised an eyebrow slightly in Henry's direction.
He laughed.
"Dude, you said she would want me!" Tim said embarassed.
Henry raised his hands. Tim laughed, "I just gave it away" He said.
I giggled slightly.
"Well, I do like you a lot Leah, your pretty, funny, cute, and wow" He said.
I blushed.
"SO, whatya say?" He asked.
I hesitated, "To what?" I asked stupidly.
"Wanna go out?" HE asked.
I think my eyes poped out of my head, "Uhh...SOrry, I'm not really interested" I said honestly, "I hardly know you" I said quietly.
"Oh" Tim said, then sat back and made me feel bad.
I glanced over to Lars and Marcy, they were kissing. I looked back to Henry fast.
I felt something move beside me, then i noticed Henry was closer.
"I..." I paused, "I have to go...pee" I ran off the the toilets.
I ruffled my hair in the mirror, and started thinking, What the hell was he doing!?
I wandered out still thinking when i walked into Bianca, "So-" i was about to say sorry, but i stoped, and continued walking.
"Look what the cat dragged in" I heard her say.
"big nose" I muttered.
The bell rang then, and i walked back to class.
That night, i was sitting on my bed, and i heard something outside. I got up and peered out the window, i couldn't see anything, so i went back to sit down. I heard it again.
So stupidly i walked down stairs and out onto the front porch.
Something cold grabbed my hand and pulled me into the tree next to my porch.
I was about to scream, but they put their hand over my mouth.
"It's me, Henry" He calmed me down.
I stuggled against his hand, he let go, i gasped for air.
"Thanks, I had an almost heart-attack" i muttered.
He laughed, "Sorry" He said.
"Night" I said, then went to go back to my room.
He swung me around by my arm and suddenly his lips were on mine. my eyes were wide as flying sausers.
I realized. Henry.Was.Kissing.Me.
So i closed my eyes, and enjoyed the moment, his tounge started to open my mouth, and i let it, we were completly in-tangled in our little moment, that i forgot how to breath. we eventually pulled away, and i looked at him, i knew my cheeks were red. He smiled.
"Leah, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked.
I thought, he wants me.
"Yes" I said, then he pulled me in for another kiss.

Whats with all the secrets?

I sprinted towards the bus, just before i got there the doors closed.

"CRAP!" I shouted.

I think the bus driver saw me and stopped. So i managed to catch the bus, it is a half and hour walk, so i mostly got the bus.

I scaned the seats, Marcy was sitting next to some random guy, she smiled at me, and signaled that he smeled. I chuckled slightly, then i saw henry, he was waving me to come sit next to him, so i did.

"Hello" He said.

"Hi" I said back.

"I'm having this party this saturday night, wanna come?" He asked.

I thought about it, a party. People. Sex. Kissing. Dancing. Loudness. Food.

"I guess so" I shrugged.

"Mostly everyone is coming, and their friends, so..." he trailed off.

Great, more people.

"What are you trying to do, make me not come!?" i said jokingly.

He laughed.

We arrived at school, and Tanya nudged past me.

"Nice" I muttered.

After school, Henry came up to me.

"Yes?" I asked.

"I'll see you tomorrow" he said, then grabbed me for a hug.

I gasped, it was really unexpected.

"Yeah, see you" I smiled widely, which i hadn't done for a while.

He walked off.

The next morning i walked to school, mainly becuase i had gotten up early for some unknown reason.

While i was walking, I listened to my ipod.

I hummed along quietly.

Once i arrived at school, the bell rang, and i ran to class.

Henry wasn't here. Odd.

By lunch he still wasn't at school. Strange.

While i was walking home, i called him, it went straight to his voicemail, and i never liked leaving messages, so i hung up.

I wonder what was wrong, he seemed fine yesterday.

The week went on, still no Henry, he must be really sick. Thats the only thing i'd like to think about.

It was Friday night, i decided to call, to see if the party was still on tomorrow.

it rang 3 times then he answered, he sounded slightly more husky, it was a nice sound to my ears.

"Hey" i said, "Why haven't you been at school?" i asked.

"It doesn't matter, personal reasons" He said, snapping a little.

What was his problem.

"Is the party still on?" I asked quietly.

"yep" He said, he sounded different.

"You sound...odd" I said.

"Yeah, well...so?" He said, hostily.

"Ugh, I'm not coming...if your going to be like this!!" I said a bit louder.

"No, no, wait Leah"He said, pledingly.

"Fine, WHAT?!" I shouted the last part.

"I'm sorry, tomorrow night, I'll explain everything" He said.

"What do you mean?" I asked curiously.

"It doesn't matter, I hope" he said, then hung up.

What was with all the secrecy.

Boys. Thats the answer.

I got home, and shouted for dad.

"yes, pumpkin?" He answered.

"Can i got to a party tomorrow night?" I asked.

"Sure, where?" He was curious.

"Henry's" I added.

"oh" He said, "I see"

"DAD!" I shouted, "NOT LIKE THAT!!"

I ran upstairs, tripping and falling down two at the top. Owch! Carpet burn.

Well, i guess i can't wear a skirt tomorrow, wait, i actually have nothing to wear. Shoot.

I called Marcy, she answered, "Hello?" In her chirpy voice.

"Hey, It's Leah" I said.

"Oh, yes, whats up?" She asked.

"I have nothing to wear to the party tomorrow, come shopping with me" I said, then laughed.

"Okay, meet me at Triple court, in 10 minutes" She said.

"Okay" I snapped the phone shut.

I knew to ask her because she used to be in Cindy's group, they all have 'Fashionable' clothes.

And Marcy has really nice clothes, and well mine are...tattared, but i love them, but i feel that i need nice clothes for a party. As you can tell, I don't get invited anywhere much.

When we got to the shops, they were all closed, great.

"Marcy, wanna come home with me and help me choise something?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'd loveto meet your dad as well" She smiled.

She started rumanging through my stuff, and found some jeans, they had a hole in the knee.

"These" She said.

"Yeah, thanks for finding them" I looked down.

She rolled her eyes, "And this top"

She handed me a grey and black stripy top.

"Thanks" I said.

"Oh, and these" She pointed to my white tigh up shoes.

"mmmkay" I answered.

Then came Saturday night, i have to admit i was really excited, and Marcy had made sure i looked good.

I ruffled my hair, nd made it look its best, i put some eyemakeup on, and some lipbalm, and left to walk to Henry's.

I knocked on the door.

I realized that i was just supposed to walk in, opps.

Cindy spotted me and came up, i had to look up to see her face.

She smiled a forced smile, then took a deep breath.

She was wearing the shortest skirt ever, and a tank top. What a slut.

Tanya was wearing red lipstick, her hair the same and a red dress, it was also short.

Bianca looked like her nose had been mae bigger, she was weaing short short, and a blue singlet.

"You look like you pulled your clothes out of a bin" Tanya said snobbily.

I narrowed my eyes at her, "Mmm. You look like a complete whore" I said quietly considering my voice wasn't very loud.

Tanya looked shocked.

"At least she is pretty" Bianca said.

"Has your nose gotten bigger?" I muttered.

Her hand snapped up to her nose to cover it.

Cindy spilt her drink on my arm, then said "opps" In a stupid girl voice.

"Slut" I mumbled, then went to find the bathroom to clean up.

Thats when i saw Henry, he looked paler, and smiled at me.

I smiled back and wondered over to him.

He saw the wet patch on my arm.

"Who spilt beet on you?" He asked.

"Cindy" I said, then glared in her direction.

He raised his eyebrows, "Yep, that sounds like her"

I nodded, "What was with all the secrecy yesterday?" I asked, slowly. Just incase he snapped again.

His face turned panicy, and his eyes blazed a little.

I stepped back instantly.

"Sorry" he said, then calmed down.

I waited for him to explain.

He grabbed my arm and pulled me into a dark corner, his hand was cold. So were mine.

I struggled a little, "What are you doing?!" I asked, suddely scared.

"Explaining" He said.

I waited.

"Okay, well...your not going to believe this, coz i still haven't - wait, let me start from the begining" he cleared his thoat, "Okay, on Monday night, after i said bye to you, i went home wih my friend, and after i walked back to my house, by this time it was dark, and i wanted to get ome as fast as i could so i cut down the alley, but there was someone lurking in a shaddow, i didn't even realize, until they grabbed me, i struggled, but they put their hand over my mouth, they were cold. He pushed my head to the side, and bit straight into my neck, i kicked him, and ran but i was stumbling because they had drunk lots of my blood, then that night i woke in agony, but i couldn't tell anyone because it would have sounded crazy, but anyway...i was in agony and i left the house and went to the river, i dived in and it didn't stop the burning pain, so i curled up under a tree and waited for it to pass, then the next day i was fine, but different, I sound different, I'm pale, and right now, i have a thurst for your blood but i don't want it" He trailed off, because my eyes were popping out of my head.

Henry was a vampire.

"You" I choked out, "your a vampire" I said quietly.

He nodded.

Our conversation went quiet, but then henry hissed.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" i Yelled, "Thats just freaky" I said.

I turned to see what he was hissing about, it was a guy.

"Hi, I'm Nathaniel" He said in a stupid voice.

I looked at him.

"Do you want to dance?" He asked.

I waited in silence, "Not really" I answered truthfully.

Cindy stormed over, "Leah, What are you doing with my BOYFRIEND!" SHe yelled the word, and everyone looked at me.

"Leah, how could you!?" Tanya said loudly from the crowd.

Everyone looked at me in a shameful way.

I felt like crying, but i held it back, "Cindy, he was asking me to dance with him, i said no" I said.

"I DON'T CARE!" She shouted, "YOU BOYFRIEND STEALER!"

I turned to Henry, "It's best if i leave now, nobody likes me, it's clear" I said.

I ran out his house, and sat on the steps.

Henry was beside me instantly.

Vampire things. This has been the weirdest night of my life.

"God, I hate Cindy" He said.

I looked at him with tears in my eyes, his skin shone so bright under the moon.

he wiped my tears away, "It's okay leah, No-one will believe Cindy, they are all drunk" He soothed me.

I half smiled, "So, everyone makes me feel like an outsider" I said.

"Well, I'm your...Friend" He smiled.

"Do you have fangs?" I asked.

He lifted his lip up, he had fangs, but they were hidden well.

I nodded.

"I won't bite, i promise" He chuckled.

"I'll see you later, bye" I said, then got up to go.

He grabbed my hand, and spun me around.

"I...I'll see you later then" He stuttered.

He bent down and kissed my cheek, he breathed in deeply.

"You smell so yummy" He said, then laughed, i laughed too.

Then i went home.

I texted him saying..

'Why don't you bite Cindy's head off'

Memories.

I woke up with crusty eyes. I groaned.

Here goes another day of hell.

I went and took a long shower, then i put on some jeans and an old green top, with a stripey jumper ontop. I ruffled my hair, and it made it look alright, good enough for the day.

I slumped as i walked down the stairs, once i reached the last step i slipped.

"Crap" i yelped in a high pitched tone.

I heard someone run from the kitchen but i was out. Cold.

I could hear a faint voice call my name, it kept saying it, i scrunched up my eyes, and blinked.

"Leah?" Dad said worried.

I croked, "Dad?"

"Oh, thank god, you fell and-" I cut him off.

"Yeah, i know, anyway, i better go to school now, oh, joy" i said.

I was never quiet around dad, coz i know him well, and well...he was all i had. Since mum died i had gotten quieter, and then eventually dad had become the one i speak to mostly.

I walked to school with my bag over my shoulder, and up ahead i saw the 'girls' from yesterday. Great, i was just thinking how wonderful it would be if they had all disappeared over night.

The tall blonde turned around and said, "Hey, leah, come here" she called.

It was like an order, i couldn't stop myself from going up.

Once i arrived, she looked down at me, "Leah?" she asked.

I looked at her.

"My name is Cindy" she smiled.

I knew this was all a trick, so i just nodded.

"Bianca" Said a girl with curly reddish-brown hair next to her, she seemed like the second 'Leader'.

"Marcy" Said a small girl at the back of the group, she would have probably been the same height as me, she was pretty, and had nice brown hair sitting out.

Cindy coughed. It was the type of cough where you are covering a person, or mocking them in a really obvious yet non obvious way.

"Tanya" The last girl said, she looked snobby and her nose rinkled after she soke to me, she had short brown hair , and was just glamourous, not pretty.

I smiled, then turned to walk away.

"Leah?" Tanya called after me. She sounded snobbier than before.

I turned and looked up at her, in a questioning way.

"Your fly's undone" she burst into a fit of laughter, so did the other girls, all apart from Marcy.

I turned around quickly knowing that i was red, and i pulled it up quickly.

What a crappy start to the day.

I must have looked grumpy when entering the class coz Henry croked an eyebrow at me.

I shrugged at him, he nodded.

"Okay, today we are going to learn about Chemical's reacting" Mrs. Roberts said, she was the nicest science teacher ever.

She smiled in my direction, i looked down emediatly.

Near the end of class, Mrs. Roberts said "Okay, we are going on a feld trip to La mongatle"

Cindy raised her hand, "Mrs. Roberts, Uhm...what does that mean?" she said in her girly voice. I hated her so much.

"It means, we are going to see a movie, thats the name of the movie" Mrs. Roberts answered.

I raised my hand, i never raised my hand "Is the movie in French?" I asked quietly.

"No, sorry Leah" She replied.

I nodded.

The bell rang, and everyone ran out of class, while i packed my books up.

"Oh, Leah, Hello" Mrs. Roberts said.

I smiled, shyly.

"Here is a letter to go home to your parents, Just get mum to sign it" she said then smiled widely.

I gasped a little, mum had died 1 year ago, i was okay with it, but it still hurt to not have one.

Mrs. Roberts looked at me questioninly.

"I'll get dad to" i muttered.

"Ohkayy, whatever suites, but why not mum?" She asked.

I gulped, "She passed away last year" i said, then ran out the class.

I shoved my books in my locker while i wiped away a couple of tears, once i closed my door, Henry was there.

I looked down and wiped the last tear away.

"Whats wrong?" He asked worriedly.

I shook my head, "Nothing" i mumbled.

"Oh, coz-" He started to say, but i cut him off.

"Is Cindy your girlfriend?" I asked, desperatly trying to change the topic.

"Umm...no, just-" he trailed off.

"Yes, I am" Cindy said from behind me.

I raised my eyebrows at henry, then started to walk away, i heard Cindy say some things to Henry.

"So..what are you doing tongiht?" She asked, in a sexy girl voice, "Could i come over?" She invited herself.

I then heard her lips brush against his, i shuddered and walked faster.

Someone grabbed my arm, and turned me arond.

it was Marcy, i smiled.

"Hey" She said.

She looked pale, and closed her mouth suddenly.

"Hey" I managed to say.

"Wanna hang out with me?" She asked.

I shrugged, "I guess" i muttered.

"Cool, It's just i don't like Cindy and her crue, i want a real friend" She said sadly.

"Well, I'm here, with no-one" I said shyly.

She giggled slightly, and i could tell we were going to be friends, she was nice.

"Henry likes you" She said, while we were walking.

I coughed, "Not true" I said.

I was talking, normaly to someone, i never talked to anyone normally.

We laughed.

"Is Henry going out with Cindy?" I asked.

"Hah! Noway, she just used him once at a party, and like acts all sexy around him, it's just to make sure you stay away, I don't see why, she has a boyfriend on the football team-He's an idiot, Just like her" She muffled her laughter, then it burst out in little chuckles.

I laughed with her, "Good" I said.

Marcy was a little taller than me, she was also a lot prettier too.

"Your really pretty, wait no, your beautiful Leah" She said, "Cindy is really jealous and so she will act all hostile towards you" she said.

"Yeah she will, but I'm not" I felt my face get hot, "Your prettier" I added.

She smiled, "Thanks, NOT TRUE!" she said.

We laughed.

Finally I had made a friend. Thats what i needed, someone to talk to. Thats all.

So..here i am, at a new school..and nobody likes me, what a coinsedence.

Hey, my name is Leah, I'm quiet. I'm 18 and i just moved here, for my last year of school. Joy.
The thing is, dad says i should be happy, but as always I'm not.

I walked to school with my book bag over my shoulder, and i fixed my headband again, i felt it slipping, but it was probably just my imagination.
Suddenly a gust of wind came by, an my skirt flew straight up, some guys laughed.
I blushed and walked swiftly past them.
Oh, what a great start to the day. Ugh!
I went to the office, and hesitated wither or not i should ring the bell at the conter. I decided to, a short woman appeared.
"Yes, dear?" she said then smiled, and pushed her glasses up.
"Umm...I'm new, and i don't..know...where or what to do" i said quietly "Or go" i added.
She smiled pleasently, i hoped she had heard me, i was quiet, and there was no way i was rasing my voice.
She led me to a room, labled '12'. She knocked, then i heard the class inside go silent, i had big butterfly's in my stomach now. Great, I may vomit. Just perfect.
"Hello, Mr. Varten, this is the new student" she pointed in my direction, then walked away, after handing me my timetable.
"Hey, Welcome, whats your name?" Mr. Varten asked.
I hesitated, and gazed at all the eyes looking at me, then i saw 2 girls whisper at the back and giggle, after a while, i heard the teacher cough.
"Your name?" he said.
"Oh" i stuttered "Leah"
"Well, i'm glad you came...Leah" he gestered me forward to sit next to someone.
She had long reddish-brown hair, and when she turned to say hi to me, she had a massive nose. My eyes almost poped out of my head.
"Hey, I'm Sally" she smiled.
I smiled, "Leah"
she turned back around, probably realizing i wasn't much of a talker. Oh well.
I finished all my maths before anyone, and then i put y hand up.
"Yes, Leah?" he said.
"Umm..i finished" i said quietly.
He looked amazed, "Wow. I mean okay, bring it up" he said, then smiled while gulping.
I brought it up, and tripped a little while stepping up to his dest, the girls at the back giggled again.
"Nerd" One of them coughed.
The other one giggled.
I rolled my eyes, and went to sit down again.
At recess, i got my apple, and walked out to find somewhere to sit, no doubt alone.
I found a couple of steps, and i sat down, it must have been about 5 minutes till i heard some girls giggling.
I crossed my fingers hoping it wasn't the ones from my class...and their friends.
But considering my luck it was. great.
"Oh" a tall blonde said.
Two of them burst out laughing.
I looked down, and started to eat my apple again.
"Hey, New girl, your in our spot" The tall blonde said.
She must have been about 5'8, i was only 5'1. She was pretty intimidating.
i got up to move, but one of them stuck their foot out, and of course i tripped, i fell onto my hands and knees, and quickly got up, and walked away, they all laughed.
I looked down to my knee, it was bleeding a lot, i decided not to go to the toilet, their would be a lot of people there, and i didn't want to face any more people, so i left it. It would eventually bleed itself out, like you cry yourself out. Makes sense...kinda.
The bell rang, i went straight to my locker, and got my stuff, then wondered around to find my class.
I walked in, and sat at the back.
Some people came in, and i was doodling in my workbook.
I hadn't realized someone had sat next to me.
"Your a really good drawer" He said, in a husky kind of voice.
I looked up to see him face.
I blushed, he was smiling. I looked down again.
"than..ks" i muttered.
Since we were in art, and i loved art i was able to concentrate on the teacher and not who was sitting next to me.
We had to draw a scetch up, it was a self portrate. Crap. Mine would be ugly, It's not that i had a problem drawing, it's my face that had the problem.
I started with my head, then i put my my reddish-brown hair around my face, I then filled in my eyes and eyebrows then mouth, and then nose. I scetched over it again, to make the effect really come out.
After class, the boy that sat next to me, came up to me.
"Hello...again, I'm Henry" he smiled, and put his hand out for me to shake.
I nodded, "Hello, I'm Leah" i touched his hand slightly, then pulled away, i think i blushed, because i heard him chuckle.
"Your quiet aren't you" he smiled.
I nodded.
I walked away to my next class. i felt his eyes on my back. So i think i must have blushed again.
At the end of the day, i plugged in my ipod, and walked down to catch the bus.
I just caught it, and there was no seats, so i stood, and held on tight.
Once it was my stop i went to push the button, but my hand pushed the button on top of someone else's.
i looked to see who it was, it was the tall blonde girl.
"Oh, my, gosh, not even a sorry, your rude!" she said, then stood up, and nudged past me.
I got off behind her, and then i saw that she blew a kiss to Henry on the bus, he looked at me and smiled, i looked down and kept walking.
Once i was home, i went to my room, and lay on my bed.
How was i going to survive at this school?
