Chapter 1.6

"Vampires don't exist." I said just above a whisper.

"Look at me Ayana. LOOK AT ME!" He screamed, shaking me up more than I already was. "I'm a monster. "

"No your not. " I said. "If this is some kind of joke, it's really not funny. "

"I'm not joking. " He said. "Remember yesterday in class when I told you that you had the wrong answer? That's because I could see through your paper. Remember when you said you had to use the bathroom and that Mr. Rynes wouldn't let you go? Vampires think three times ahead. Remember how you dropped your wallet in the parking lot? We have a lot of speed. You were right. I was in the car when you dropped it. "

My mouth dropped. It all made so much since now.

"That's why your teeth is so sharp?" I asked.

"Yes. "

"That's why you look so buff?"

"Yes."

"That's why you told my brother I can't like you?"

"Yes. "

I turned away from him and just shook my head. I should've known. But it's not like coming across a vampire is something that happens on a daily basis. I decided to try one more thing.

"Since your a vampire and all, why haven't you bit me?" I asked rolling my neck. My head was still turned.

"Hollywood has vampires all wrong. We do drink blood but its not like we need it to live. We can easily control our thirst and live like regular people." He explained to me.

"So Jacob, Ray, and Craig are vamps too huh?" I asked.

"Yup. They are too. " I heard him say. He sounded more calm so I turned around. "Are you scared?"

Scared? No. Terrified? Maybe.

"No. " I lied.

"Sit down. " He insisted. I did so. "You're scared. "

"No I'm not. " I said folding my arms.

"Vampires can read through people's emotions. " He laughed. "Besides, your shaking. "

"Well what do you expect?" I asked sarcastically.

"I expected you to run out of here the minute I told you. " He said.

"That was a rhetorical question Roc. If that's even your name. " I rolled my eyes.

We sat there in silence for a while. I replayed everything that happened so far. I wonder was he reading my mind?

"Yes, I am reading your mind. " He laughed.

Shit.

"Stop cursing. " He said. I looked at him and he looked back at me.

"Your eyes aren't as threatening anymore. " I said. He smiled a little. "But your teeth are. Please stop smiling.

"Sorry about that. " He laughed but look the other way. The room grew silent again.

"So what now?" I asked him.

"You still want to talk to me?"

"Of course I do. " I answered. "So tell me. How did this happen?"

"It started when I was younger. My dad was sick for a while. He looked so bad I thought he would die. Me and my mom tried to take care of him but nothing worked. He died right in the bed in his room. One day, about 3 in the morning, I heard noises in my room. I ignored it and went back to sleep until I heard it again. I turned my lamp and there he was. Standing over me. "
