What Did I Ever Do?

We waited for a about 10 minutes before Morgan woke up. She started moving around. Everyone perked up and looked at her.
"Well?" Collin said.
"Well, what?" Morgan replied. "Why are you all looking at me like that?" We all have her a stern look.
"You took the cure..." Collin said. "...that was meant for Eliza!" He said louder almost to a shout.
"Hey." She said. "You can't blame me. You wouldn't done the same freaking thing."
"No, I wouldn't!" He yelled. "I'm not a selfish bitch like you."
"Guys. It's not a big deal. I need to be.. A big girl.. About this. I'm a vampire. I need to deal with it." I say.
"Ok, well, let's move on. We need to find out if your human or not." He says.
"I have an idea." I hope Morgan doesn't take this the wrong way. "You could try cutting yourself."
"Yeah. Good." Collin says. "You want to go grab one from the kitchen?" I nod and make my way to the kitchen. I find a gourmet culinary set, and grab a small one. "Here." I say, handing it to Morgan. She holds it in one hand with the other laid out flat. She takes a few seconds and then digs in with it. She winces at the pain and sets the knife down. We wait a couple of minutes to no result. "Ok, well, we still have one more test." Collin says. He goes to the fire place and brings back a brick. "Punch it. If it breaks, nothing happens. If your hand breaks, well that will answer our question. Morgan rolled her eyes. She picks it up and puts it in front of her. She talks a deep breath and slams into the brick. "Ow!" She screams. She falls onto the floor, and holds her red hand. The brick. It's spotless. No cracks. Nothing. "Ok, well, you need to go to the hospital." Collin says. "Screw you." She replies.

"Well." Doctor Hobb says. "If you look here, this is her bone of her index finger. This is also her bone of her index finger." He says while pointing to two separate bone pieces. "Your finger is broken, and you'll need to wear a cast from your hand to elbow for 4 weeks.

We arrived back at Collins house, with Morgan and her cast. Collin kissed me bye. I will never get used to the feeling of the butterflies I get in my stomach when he kisses me and especially when he grabs my thigh. I get so nervous and shy. "I'll see you tomorrow." I say. Tomorrow is Monday so we have school again. Shoot me. I just can't get why Morgan hates me so much. What does she have against me? What did I ever do to her to make her treat me like this. When I saw her take the cure, I wanted to cry but I had to bite my lip to stay calm.

Monday. The first normal day we've had in awhile. We're going to go try to get Ashley to "turn it on". Apparently she "turned it off". That means she has zero emotion. Happiness, sadness, anger, or even love. All gone. That's why she tried to, or did, kill me. Being a vampire at school is.. Weird. I can hear everyone's conversations: "Hey babe." A random girl says. Then I hear kissing. "Yo, bro what's happening?" A guy says along with a slap hug. I can see better too. I smell things more. Especially sweat. The sun feels really nice. With my daylight bracelet at least. It's funny how nobody knows but Cailey. We went to class together. The teacher says, "Ok, I'm taking roll and I see Ryan and Ashley are not here today." Cailey and I look at each other. "Ladies, have you two seen Ashley today? I know you're her friends."
"Um, yeah, she's sick. Strep throat." I reply stuttering.

The rest of the day was ok. I got a really good grade in gym. We were doing our weekly test. 10 push-ups, 10 pull ups, 1 rope climb, and 1 lap. I passed every one with still some breath left. When I got home, I see my mom sitting on the couch. "Hey, baby. How was school?"
"Good." I say and head up to my room. I went to my room to find a blood bag on the window seal with a note that read:
Thought you might like this. - Collin
He's so sweet.
