That was the day I met Alexis Duchel. That was the day my life changed for ever. This is the day it ALL happened… She just waltzed gracefully into the classroom and sat down in a desk at the side of the room. As soon as she sat down her head whizzed around to stare at me, her cold blue eyes digging into me, she knew I was a vampire, she could smell my scent.
She was mysterious, I knew she must be a vampire; she had all the physical features. Dark eyes, pale as chalk, brunette hair drifting down her back and perfectly white teeth. I had always been lonely in school, no one wanted to be near the gothic boy, the weirdo. It was just because I was different, I dressed differently, and I couldn’t go out in the sun because I shrivelled up like a girl in a sun bed. But I haven’t properly introduced myself, my name is Gabriel and I am a vampire.
All through first period she kept on staring at me, continuously it was starting to get quite spooky, although if she tried to attack or hurt me I knew I could fight her off no problem. When the bell rang, she stalked over to me and whispered in my ear in a low tone so as no one else could hear, “meet me on the right top corner of the field at break, in the shade, you got it?” I meekly nodded to indicate I “got it” then I quickly jogged off to my next class.
All through biology I couldn’t concentrate, I just kept wondering what she was going to say… no one ever, EVER went to the far end of the field, it was rumoured that years back someone got killed there…
* * * * *
She was there waiting for me, as soon as the bell went I shot outside at my fastest speed of 100mph, the fastest in our league of vampires so I could be there first, but she was already there. I was half scared of her, half wanting her to just get closer and tell me all about her. My heart was pounding ferociously and I approached… What was she going to do?… What was she going to say?…
“ Hey, you’re late.” She shouted at me from across the field, “I said the start of break not halfway through.” I ran across the field, I didn’t particularly want to make this new girl angry. She looked me up and down surveying me, almost seeing if I was good enough for her, seemed like I was because she started talking again. “ Hi, I’m Alexis Duchel, and you are Gabriel Lison.” She bared her perfect pearl fangs at me in an extremely ferocious manner, but I wasn’t scared of her, well maybe a tiny part of me was but not much.
“Listen, I know you do not have any friends here mainly because you are the only vampire family in the neighbourhood, but now I’m here you are going to be friends with me. OK ?” She now had her smooth as silk hand in a tight grip around my throat. “ You sit with me in class, you eat lunch with me, well sit with me anyway, but you share food and blood with me.” Okay I was a tiny bit scared of her now, but she was kind of attractive when she was angry.
The bell rang, piercing the conversation and ending it there. She pulled her hand away from my neck, tossed her hair and walked off keeping in the shade. My head was spinning, and I was so confused, should I like this girl or should I stay away from her.
Thanks.
