Vampire God

Epiphany

He's got fangs.

Just like those in my dream.

Then I have the sudden realization that he is a vampire from my dream.

"Preston and I required blood and you were right there." He said.

"WELL, YOU GOT WHAT YOU NEEDED NOW GET OUT!!!" I holler at him.

I don't know what to do right now knowing he could rip my throat out right now. He backs away a little.

Then there's a knock at my door and he disappears. I answer and it's the mail carrier.

 "Thank you," I say to him and shut the door.

I hope I didn't sound as shook up as I feel.

 I look at the clock and realize I'm gonna be late if I don't get dressed now.

So I get on my uniform which is a white polo shirt and a skirt. Since we can wear any skirt we want to, I pick out a red plaid one and put on my white converse. I grab my bag and start walking to school.

I start thinking about the dream and the strange, Jackson Wang looking, vampire dude.

 "It all has to be connected!" I say aloud.

 "What has to be connected, Tae?" says my best friend Lee Ho-Seok.

"Oh, nothing. I just had Deja vu." I lie.

I get to class and sit down in my seat at my table. I sit by myself but, that doesn't bother me much.

Only because Ho-Seok and I would be laughing and giggling the whole class time, so now I sit at a table by myself.

"Class we have a new student, Preston. Please go sit over there by Ashley-Tae."

My heart skips a beat.

I'm scared right now, in fear of my life, and I don't know what to do.

He sits right beside me.

It's the same vampire dude that was in my house this morning but, something is different, HE DOESN'T HAVE HIS FANGS!!!!

"Where are your fang's at?" I ask him even though I'm kinda scared to know.

"I can control them." He says so plainly like it was something he said daily to everyone he met.

I look away and say "Ok, then. Just don't bite or kill me." and I continue to stare out of the window.

I don't know how but I feel like I'm doing a good job at keeping my cool. This is so weird, I'm so weird.

Lord help me please.

 Since we sit at the same table and he's right beside me, he leans over and whispers in my ear.

"No promises." He says.

I turn around quickly and look him in the face.

He has got an evil smile on his face and then he winks at me.

I'm nervous when he does that. But I get on with class and every other class, which I have with him.

Finally, school is over with and I stay behind to practice Basketball since I'm the only girl on the team.

So, I go to the girl's locker room.

 "Hopefully that Preston dude is gone," I said thinking aloud.

I take off my school uniform and put on a pair of black basketball shorts and a white tank top.

I open the door and Preston is standing there.

I yelp out of fear.

"I've been waiting for you where have you been." He looks serious when he says this.

I smile and say "Nice to see you too, Mr. Grumpy Fangs! I wish I had time to chat but I gotta get going." I run off to the basketball court.

I feel as if I need to practice so the guys don't underestimate me so, I practice every other day. I'm standing half court and I shoot.

It would have made it if SOMEONE wouldn't have come in the way and stopped it. I'm stunned because IT'S PRESTON AGAIN!!!

"What the heck man!!! What are you doing here!!!!" I yell at him.

"I'm here to practice with you." He says.

I just look at him and as I look at him I realize really how cute he is.

No what why am I thinking these thoughts!?!

No that would never work out with me being a human and him a vampire.

"Whatever, just don't get in my way and we'll be ok," I tell him.

We work at basketball for hours. It's 7 o'clock now.

"I should get going it's 7. And you should probably go wherever you gotta go." I tell him.

"Ok well then let's go then. We need to get home then." He says.

I look at him like he's crazy.

"What do you mean "WE"? And the matter of fact who is this "WE" you are talking about?" I ask him.

I walk over to the bleachers after saying that.

"Well, I meant you and me in that "WE". And I was gonna go with you." He says.

I stop cold I don't want him coming back with me, much less with him being a vampire.

"No," I say kinda coldly. It came out way meaner than what I had wanted it too.

I walk home by myself and I feel lonely.

When I get home I get undressed and take a shower. I put on a pair of black PJ capris, a black T-Shirt and a black pair of socks. My hair is almost dry and is really straight right now. It starts to rain then and it's raining really hard.

About an hour later it's 8:47, I look out the window and see Preston sitting on the steps of the fire escape.

He is drenched from head to toe from the rain.

I run over to the window, unlock it and open it.

"Preston come in here and get out of the freaking rain," I say to him. He just sits there and doesn't move.

"Preston get out of the rain," I say again. I roll my eyes at him because again he doesn't move.

I step out of the window into the pouring rain and go over to him. I tap his shoulder.

"Preston are you ok," I say to him.

He grabs my waist is just sitting there holding it.

'What are you doing' I'm thinking.

Then I realize he's crying and I just stand there for a minute. Then I look down at him. I lift his face up so he is looking at me.

"Preston are you ok? You need to come out of the rain." I say to him.

He gets up and crawls through the window, I crawl in after him and he helps me in.

"You need to take a shower, I'll get you some dry clothes. Just give me your wet ones and I'll wash them." I tell him.

I grab him some dry clothes and give them to him. He goes and takes a shower.

After I put his clothes in the washer I start to dry my hair. I start to massage my shoulders then, out of nowhere Preston shows up and looks at me.

"Stop. Here I got you, let me do it for you since you didn't have to let me in." He says.

"Thanks," I say 

I'm looking out the window when the teacher says
