I guess I fell asleep in the bathroom. When I woke up I felt awful. First, I look like a hobo. A vampire hobo I guess I should call it. Second, it will be very awkward going back to school considering I almost killed my best friend. Third, I'm so confused on this whole vampire thing. I thought I couldn't see my reflection and I couldn't be in the sunlight. Those are questions I'll ask my mom later. First I need to get ready for school.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After I got ready for school I went downstairs to ask my mom a few questions. "Mom?" I yelled. I looked in the kitchen and sure enough she was at the table reading a magazine. "Yes?" she asked. "I was just wondering why I can see myself in the mirror and why I don't crumple up under the sunlight?" I asked. She looked at me for a second and tried to hold back laughter. "Those are stereotypes honey! I don't know who came up with it but its not true." she said. "Do I show up in pictures?" I asked. "That is another stereotype. Of course we show up in pictures!" she laughed. "Okay. Thanks for not laughing." I muttered. Or at least I thought I muttered. "Honey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel bad." I gave her a questioning look. How did she hear that? "We have good hearing." my mother said answering the question that was in my head. I've had enough vampire stuff for one day. I can't wait to tell Lea about a sleepover iI'm planning for us on Saturday. Even though it is only Tuesday I am going to ask her if she can come. "I'm heading off to school. Bye mom!" I yelled already halfway out the door. "Bye!" she yelled back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I got to school(which took no time thanks to vampire speed!) I ran to my locker to see if Lea was at our normal spot. When I got there she wasn't there. That's weird. Then it hit me. She is probably terrified of me. I walked down to her locker to see if she was there. I really needed to talk to her. When I walked up to her I saw a sight I thought I would never see. Lea was talking to Zoey, Sally, and Jessica. (if you don't remember them, they are the mean group!) They were whispering and laughing. I knew exactly why they were saying since I had amazing hearing. "... I screamed and ran out of that place!" I heard Lea say. Were they talking about me? "Liz is such a dork!" Sally said. I heard Lea laugh and agree. This made my blood boil! My best friend wasn't sticking up for me and was talking about me behind my back! I can't believe she would do this to me! I thought we were friends! I then heard Lea say," I never really liked her in the first place! I just thought she had a cool house and I was new so I needed someone so I wouldn't look like a loner!" WHAT?! "You poor girl! You are one of is now! Forget Liz!" I heard Zoey say. "Guess what?!" Lea said. "What!" Jessica said. "It was always about Liz when I was her friend! Do this Lea! Do that! Look at MY stuff!" she continued on but I couldn't listen any more. It was always about me?! Who helped her when her mother was sick? Who always took the blame for her? Who did probably all of her homework? She can't possibly be serious? Is this a joke? I tried thinking of possibilities of how this isn't happening. I knew they were all lies though. I just lost my only friend to Zoey! I then got enough courage to walk up to her "new friends" and say something. I walked over to the circle and said," Your mother, taking the blame, and your homework! Is this how you feel about me? Well, then fine! Do what you want. I don't need you!" I yelled at her. "You don't need me?" she scoffed. "More like I don't need you! I was your only friend! Now what are you? Oh yeah! A LONER!" she said back smirking. I was about to throw a punch until I realized that would be a bad idea. So I just ran home. I didn't care about school. This already has been the worst day if my life! I never made it to the house. I blacked out before I got there. That is when the bad things started to happen.
