My name is Vecky Von Bartholomew. Recently, I read all the Twilight books and now I'm completely obsessed! I mean, it's just so cool that a world of vampires and werewolves exists...
I'm a little different from those around me. I am a vampire. No one believes me, not even my family. Every time I bring it up, they just awkwardly laugh and then tell me to leave them all alone!
To make matters worse, I get bullied at school by the most popular kid there—Connecticut Johnson. Ever since middle school, he has been tormenting me. He follows me around and tells me all of those cliche things you hear in Disney movies. If it was my choice, I would have killed him and drank his blood a while back. But that is illegal, and like my crush (Edward Cullen) I believe in drinking animal blood instead. While I have never had animal blood before–because I'm a special type of vampire and don't need blood—it's still a marvelous opportunity to have if I ever get thirsty.
"Vecky!!! Are you paying attention??" I hear the teacher yell. I snap out of my thoughts of Edward Cullen to see the entire class staring at me. The teacher, Mrs. Tartaruga, was sternly looking at me with her hands on her hips. I blush and look around the room to see the amused faces of my peers.
"W-what??" I stammer out, embarrassed.
"How about you come up to solve the question on the board if you think you are too smart for this class?" She says sternly, her green eyes staring at me with anger. I sigh and get up to go towards the board. I feel the eyes of everyone on me as I start to shake.
The question on the board was 5x - 1 = 24... too bad I failed pre-algebra. I am in algebra 2. How did I even get this far?
"Uh.... is it... 39?" I say in a squeaky high voice.
The class bursts out laughing, and my face turns red in shame. My bully—Connecticut—points at me and starts saying profanities. I can't believe him. I go up to him and shake my fist in his face and say, "During lunch, you better watch your back cause I'm gonna get ya!!" I say in my southern accent that comes out when I'm really mad. He laughs harder, considering I've done nothing else before to make him realize my true power (since I am an immortal and can kill since vampires kill and drink blood.)
"I would like to see that happen, freak!!" He laughs with his friends.
I feel tears prick the corner of my eye and I run out of the classroom with my bag in hand. I run into the bathroom and go into a stall and start crying my eyes out. I sob hard as I wish Edward Cullen was here to chase the bullies away. I wish Twilight was real so that I could be with the love of my life, my soulmate, my lover, Ewdard.
After crying for a bit, I wiped my eyes and sniffled as I opened my bag and saw the photo of Edward Cullen taped inside. I started patting it as the last few tears ran down my face.
"At least you're here for me, Edward. Even if it isn't real..." I sigh dramatically before I hear the bell ring. It is time for lunch! Yippee!
I open the bathroom stall and fix my appearance before taking a deep breath and leaving the bathroom. I go to my locker and open it quickly. The other photo of Edward Cullen stares blankly into my soul as he has a smile on his face.
"Woah... WHO IS THAT IN YOUR LOCKER???" I hear a voice behind me. I jump and turn around to see Connecticut's girlfriend, Philadelphia Smith. I roll my eyes and flip the hair out of my face.
"You wouldn't understand, you uneducated fool," I say to her as I cross my arms. She smiles at me and looks back at the photo before quickly ripping it out of my locker. "Hey!! Give that back now!!" I shout at her. This causes several students to look our way.
She laughs. "Isn't that the guy from Twilight? Don't tell me you think he's your boyfriend," she says, trying to make a complete fool out of me. Well, I won't let her win this time. I won't ever let her win against me again.
"That isn't your business! We are in love with each other, and our love is real. Nothing compared to you and your fake boyfriend, who won't even make it past high school without falling out of love. You guys don't love each other like how we love each other. Also, he is SO cheating on you with Sarah. You're just too blind to see it, idiot." I say, loud and proud for the entire school to hear. A circle forms around us, which causes me to look around nervously. But I couldn't back down now, especially since I'm finally putting her in her place.
"What did you say to me, bitch?" she says as walks toward me. I stand my ground and I don't move, even when she's almost directly in my face. The crowd grows as people shout "girl fight!!" from somewhere far away.
"You heard me, you fake!" I shouted. She gasps and then giggles.
"Are we going to have a problem?!" Philadelphia was never one to back away from a fight. I wouldn't be the one to either. But little does she know that I have a secret advantage. I am a vampire. One bite from me, and she is gone for good! I smirk, knowing this as I feel venom run through my veins.
"Yes. We are going to have a problem." I say, feeling like one of those characters in a movie. Wow, I feel so cool right now!! I can't believe it! Edward would be so proud...
Before she can even do anything, I grab her hand and bite her wrist. She hollers out and turns southern. I forgot to mention everyone here is mostly southern cause I live in Texas. We are Southern. Mostly.
I laugh, then realize my mistake. Her skin broke, which means I can see blood. My vampire instincts take over before I can stop them. Before I know what I'm doing, I suck the blood out of her and attempt to continue, even when a teacher pulls me off of her. My thirst isn't quenched yet, so I punch the teacher in the gut, desperately trying to get back to my meal.
"Oh, my god... Do you genuinely think you're a vampire?!" I hear someone scream. I look to my right to see my bully, Connecticut. He is in shock and in fear at the scene that is in front of him.
"Yes... I AM one, Connecticut. Now you can finally see for yourself.." I say as I launch myself at him while hissing. I tackle him to the ground as he screams for me to get off of him.
"OH MY GOD, YOU AREN'T A VAMPIRE! YOU'RE DELUSIONAL!" He and several other people scream, trying to get me to stop. I paused for a minute and looked around. Everyone is shocked and scared, and several people are recording. I get off of him and look at the scene in front of me. Oh, my god. What have I done?
I had to run. But before I did, I grabbed the photo of Edward Cullen out of Philadelphia's clenched hand. As I approached her, she screamed at me, but I NEEDED that photo of him. So I grabbed it and ran. I ran through the halls as people tried to get out of my path because of the fear everyone felt. I ran until I made it to a forest. My knees gave out as I cried.
Why am I a vampire? Why did I have to be one? Now I can't go back to school... I almost killed someone because of my bloodlust. My life is over. I can never go back. I sniffle and wipe the tears from my face. No matter what happens, I will always have Edward Cullen on my side. He will be there for me, real or not. I grab the crumpled photo that Philadelphia crushed from when I bit her. I smile at it and kiss it before hugging it to my heart. We will get through this together. We are forever. Edward will always be there for me, and I will be there for him.
