Vampires Drool Over Me..

Zombies Rule Contest

“Ah hell. Jessica!” I yelled, my voice was muffled a bit because my head was caught in between the shirt hole. Again.

“What now loser?” Jessica said, striding up to me in her usual skinny jeans along with a tank top and white cardigan.

“I got stuck,” I mumbled, and I heard her chuckle in response. She safely guided my head through the hole and I let out a relieved sigh. “Thanks,”

“No problem,” She said cheerfully, I looked up at her and noticed her scrunched up nose. Oh great, another tip coming on.

“You really should show a little skin Hun, it is the twenty first century,”

I glared at her in response, I lashed my hand out and tried to slap her but once again she caught my wrist and with a tight tug, my arm came lose. “Oh come on Jess!”I whined loudly, “It took forever to place my arm back in place the last time!” But all she did was laugh and turn out the door, “You really need to learn to take a joke,” I mutter under my breath.

“I heard that!” She said in her singsong voice.

“You were meant too!” I yelled in response and cursed a few times at my stupidity. I knew better then to mess with a blood-sucking vampire. Even if she was my best friend.

I bent down and grabbed my discarded limb, it took me a few minutes to correctly alter the bone but I got it back into place. My feet walked past the other dorm rooms in the mansion and I walked into the kitchen, almost treading my body to the blood fridge but I turned just in time because Jess was having another ‘boy’ time in the kitchen.

“Jess,” I said in a stern voice, trying not to let my curiosity get the better of me. I heard the distinct churning sounds of blood being sucked into her mouth and a few moments later, I heard a small thump, and her letting out a contented sigh.

“What did I tell you about knocking?” Jess said with a snicker and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at her antics.

“Yea, I’m really going to knock when there’s like tons of vampires and zombies in this house,” I said, sarcasm dripping heavily.

“Whatever!”She said dramatically, “Lets go meet our new classmates!” She shrieked silently, her enthusiasm could be used to lead everyone’s non-existent excitement at pep rallies.

“You’re way to peppy for a vampire,” I grumble.

“And you’re way to boring to be a zombie. Aren’t you supposed to be eating human’s brains out?” She chirped back, oblivious to the obvious conclusion.

“I don’t know where humans got that! Its all those dumb zombie movies. We don’t eat brains, we eat raw meat, more preferably flesh but hey that’s better then brains!” I say defensively and Jess turns her head back to me while we walk to school.

“Not really Hun, zombies still eat people in the movies, so they’re right about that,” She shakes her head and walks in step with me to Barracuda Bay High, the new High School we we’re both assigned to this year.

“Its not like we just attack people randomly,” I grumble again, I’m always in a bad mood when it’s our first day to a new school. It still feels like I’m a normal teenager who had a father who was in the Navy and got stationed everywhere. But it wasn’t like that anymore; it hasn’t been like that in years.

“You’re always so moody when it’s our first day,” Jess remarked, as if she read my mind.

“Whatever,” I say as my intelligent response. Good one Sam.

A couple minutes later and we’re at the new High School, I could see a lot of people coming in and yelping in surprise from seeing their old friends. I miss that.

We both walk into school and I cautiously walk side to side to keep contact away from others, just in case if they push a little too hard and I’m exposed. If I’m exposed then I’m terminated.. For good this time.

I begin walking in the halls, barely acknowledging that Jess left me behind to go socialize, she was the most socialized one in the bunch. She was the social butterfly while I was just dragged alone for the ride. Not that I minded, I was just still missing my old life. Even when I knew I shouldn’t be. I died and I was reborn, differently but I was still alive.

Sort of.

My feet made themselves to the office and I got my schedule, making sure I got the correct classes that I needed. The only downside of going to an actually High School with humans, was repeating every course over and over again.

“Hey what’s your name?” Someone flirtatiously whispered to me, my head turned slowly to meet someone’s dark brown gaze. I had to admit after a quick check, he was cute. No scratch that, he was hot.

“Not interested,” I whispered to him, it turns out this hot guy was my new lab partner who was late. Great.

“We’re both attractive people, why can’t we connect?” He whispered, his body leaning a little bit closer to mine.

“I don’t even know your name,” I hissed back, keeping my eyes on the board and the lesson. Something about the bones structure of an infant or something like that.

“Its Marcus,” He seductively whispered, it seemed the teacher noticed our little quaint confrontation and zeroed in on us.

“Once again, not interested,” I said, blowing a few strands from my face in frustration.

“You messed with the wrong guy, zarrah,” He whispered closer to my ear and I froze momentarily. I looked closer at him and he smirked, a fresh new long sharp canine slipped passed his mouth and they were gone in a zap.

“You’re a vampire, “ I stated calmly, in a hushed tone.

“And you are a zombie,” He hissed, his irises focusing on a specific bloody murky color.

“We live in peace here,” I said calmly, but that was the wrong move. Again. It seemed vampy here didn’t appreciate calmness in his presence, as if he was some god here.

“Not us,” He said firmly, staring into my eyes and I didn’t blink for a moment, hoping that this stare down would lower the ratio of being terminated so early in the semester.

“We can make a deal,” I said rushed, and I heard the teacher yell at us again. I turned my focus to the board just as the bewildered gazes from my classmates came and zeroed in on Mark and I.

“No deal-“ Mark gazed down at my empty piece of paper that only mentioned my name “Sam,” He said with a smirk. “Welcome to Barracuda High School,” He said softly, but I could sense the underlying threat in his words, my eyes searched his face for any joke but there was no joking tone.

Ah, hell. Jessica is going to be pissed.

And this is why I don’t like vampires so much.
