"Martha, Martha deary, come on. You're going to be late for school."
"I don't need you to drive me to school, Chelsea. Im fine catching the bus -.-"
But no, she insists on taking me, so I let her.
"Kisses Martha!" she says in her posh snob voice. Chelsea's my Dad's new wife, and she's sooo terribly rich. All I want is my real mother, not stinking Chelsea Fandorez.
"Bye Chelsea," I whisper under my breath. But its too late, Sharlene and her gang are already sniggering in the corner of my eye. They slouch over to me. "Well Martha, how's your new idiotic parent going?" she whines at me. "Just as usual I guess, but you're father will probably end up murdering her again, won't he MARTHA.?"
I run to the girls lavatories, crying out loud so every girl applying make-up in the loo can hear me. Luckily Jamie's in the lavatory next to me.
"Martha Benson, is that you?" I hear her soothing voice say. "Martha, come out, its OK, all the big girls have gone."
I crawl out from behind my door. "Thanks Jame's."
"Thats ok."
**********************************************************************************************************************
Afternoon comes, and Jamie's stood outside the gates by school.
"Quick!" she yells right into my face, "Quick, WHSmith have new books in stock, and apparently they've started stocking vampire books!"
I gulp inside. They never've stocked vamp books before, I go in there every day, literally. I feel soooo excited, and run down the path to the shop.
Inside the shop, Catherine Miller's sat behind the desk.
"Hello little Martha! Who's this you've brought today?" she asks me, in her sweet, yet babyish voice tone.
"This is Jame's, remember her?" she nods her head.
"What are you looking for today then sweethearts?!" she asks again.
Jamie decides to open her gob-"Vampire books, you know, the new ones you've started stocking?"
Catherine looks at us. She turns around, pulls out a cover of a book, and hands it to us.
"Thats all we have at the moment, the covers. You can read the back if you like."
I snatch the book from her, and start reading the first three lines.
"She walks to the door; ever so slowly.
"Something grabs her by her hips, and drags her in
"Will she survive?"
"MARTHA BENSON!" I hear a sudden yell from the door. "MARTHA! PUT THAT HORRID GORY BOOK DOWN NOW!"
A sudden flash happens, and then I'm back home with Chelsea and Dad, both of them glaring at me.
