Today is the day of the dance. And I am freaking out! I'm really, really nervous. I don't know if I can handle the stress....

Okay so time to come out of the closet. I'm kinda sorta a um... A vampire. Well not entirely, I'm a vampire/human mix so I'm more human than anything. I was born 17 years ago. that was before my father was killed. by a silver steak. so cliché huh? Anyways, whenever I get stressed I 'vamp out'; meaning I go on a rampage in town. luckily nobody gets hurt. so when I was five years old my uncle Vladimir, uncle vlad for short, took me back in time to the civil rights movement. (that's how I know about that stuff) well I got lost and stayed there for the whole movement. When he found me I was 13 I came back and I was 5 years old again. I was so scared I didn't know who anyone was then I saw him. I don't know who he was but I know he was beautiful. even 5 year old me knew that! I remembered seeing him in the old cigar shop when I was 12 in the movement. I saw his beautiful blue eyes and shaggy dark hair. and that's when I realize...... lee was the one I saw.

3 hours til the dance

I'm in geology, with lee. he's my partner and I can't stop blushing!!! I get that he's my date but seriously do we have to be in every class together? i don't know but I'm extremely embarrassing when it comes to talking to him. So when the final bell rings I am the first one out of my desk.

When I get to my locker he's already there.

UGH WHY DOES HIS LOCKER HAVE TO BE RIGHT NEXT TO MINE

He smiles to me after I open my locker. that heart melting smile every girl drools over. OMG am I drooling? I reach up to touch my lips to see if there's drool. WHEW! there's nothing there. I blush again.

"Hey Nikki" he says, amusement clear across his face. he's feeding from my embarrassment

"Sup hot stuff" I say then almost instantly put my hand up to my mouth.

" So you think I'm hot do you? how do you prefer I spell that? 'h o t' or 'H O T T'?"

I gasp, flabbegasted.

"Uh... erm.... uh...."

" Just kidding sweets"

GASP
