[Shut Up And Drive-Rihanna]

Red Springs High wasn’t half as bad as I expected it to be. It was a pretty big campus. There were kids crawling all over the place. I thought kids in small towns had really sucky taste in clothes. I can’t really say they’d be on my best dressed list, but they’re close. But not in my Ultimate List; more like Ordinary Public School Kids. Oh well, it was time to show these losers what fashion is all about!

I had to make a grand entrance. First impression and all, you know? So we showed up in Sean’s fancy red retro sports car. I’m pretty sure heads were turned, but I wasn’t really paying attention. I was sipping some O- from the blood bag that I’d camouflaged with a flask. When we got to the school, Sean got the door for me, and then we made out right there in front of everybody. Then we definitely got some hoots and cheers. I could feel the girls thinking “who does she think she is?” No literally. Vamps can read minds. Cool shit, right?

So then I walked all cockily towards the building, going back to finishing my breakfast and listening in on all of the gross things the boys were thinking about me-not to mention hateful things from the girls. See, what would have depressed me before, was what I was using now to fuel my awesomeness. Honestly, New Me could totally kick Old Me’s butt! I went into the principal’s office to collect my routine and other shit.

When I got to my locker, I noticed my neighbor was this cute guy. I know, I know, I have a boyfriend and everything. But there’s no harm in just looking! I dropped all of my shit into the locker not bothering to be neat. It needed serious decoration, so I’d just get to it later. It was kind of boring not knowing anyone and just standing there. That was a moment when my superiority act was kinda down. I hoped the dude wouldn’t notice me checking him out, and thankfully he didn’t. It wasn’t until later that I realized that he pretty much didn’t notice me at all! Ouch!

Looking like a loser kinda made me feel fidgety so I grabbed my phone with one hand to tweet something pointless and bullshitty about what I was doing at the moment-which was beginning my first day of high school-and pretending to suck the pipe sticking out of my already empty flask. I did that until the first bell rang. It was nicely timed as at that very moment, one of the douches who had been staring at me in the parking lot came up to introduce himself. I gave him a quick smile and ran away as subtly as possible.

My problem of being new was once again visible when I got to homeroom.  I really wished Sean could go here with me. But he was turned when he was 21 and you can tell he’s way older than me so he has to pretend like he goes to college instead. I noticed the hot guy was in my homeroom. The seat behind him was empty. I couldn’t sit there, though. It’d be like I was stalking him. Where I sat instead was right in front of him. I wouldn’t look at him, but I gave him the chance to admire my awesomely awesome butt. He had to be looking! Who wouldn’t? I’m super hot now!

The attendance was being taken when the Principal walked into the room, announcing that I was a new student, and telling me to stand in front of the entire classroom to say something about myself. I walked up to where the teacher’s desk was sitting, waved my hand and said “Umm, hey…” I had not planned this part beforehand. Dafuq do you say about yourself to a crowd of judgmental students? “My name is Diana Draper. I uh…” my eyes wandered off to where the hot guy, whose name I now knew was Derek Something, was sitting. He was staring at the screen of his iPod! “I just settled here like 2 days ago. I really like this school so far!”

The class teacher, Mrs. Harper interrupted me to tell everyone where I came from which I really didn’t feel like doing. I was using a fake name and everything. I really hadn’t gone over all the fake details with Sean yet. I mean he was yapping something about it, but I wasn’t really listening. He can be a Bossy Pants sometimes. It’s really annoying. Luckily, I was saved by the bell once more. And so I rushed to my desk to grab my things and get out of there.

I tried to show off a little cleavage while I did, hoping Derek would notice. He did kinda look like he did, but even if I was right, he was very subtle about it. It’s something! When I got to my locker, I found the douche waiting there nervously. Seeing me, he put his smirk on and went right back to hitting on me. I decided to keep him around this time. He probably thought I was into him. But I was thinking more like Lunch! He hit on me, I flirted back. To be honest, after the crap Derek was putting me through, it kinda made me feel better to get noticed by anyone at all!

This other guy told me his name was Jake. He was kinda red faced, so I thought that was good news. He wasn’t exactly being very nice or respectful, so I knew I wouldn’t feel sorry about hurting him either. In fact, I’d be doing him a favor. In case you hadn’t heard, a vampire’s bite tends to be immensely orgasmic. I would know. I used to be human when I started dating Sean. Since the day I’d met him, I thought he was the hottest guy in the world! He just has a way with things. I can’t really put my finger on what it is. Derek was long gone before the bell rang. I’d already kinda given up on him. I mean, what was I doing? I had a boyfriend! When the bell did ring, Jake walked me to class. More like followed. But I let him. I needed boys around me to get the reputation I intended on getting.
