I Hate Vampires!

After Brick said he wanted me I did what any self-respecting girl would do in this situation. I punched him in the stomach. I glared at him while he stood hunched over, trying to catch his breath. “I don’t know what you think you’re doing but if you’re smart you’ll leave me alone. The last guy who did something like this ended up in the hospital.” I knew my voice was shaking slightly but I hoped he was in too much pain to notice. Apparently that was too much to ask for cause he looked up at me with concern. “What do you mean? Who was this guy and what did he do?” I turned away and faced the wall. “It doesn’t matter. Just leave me alone.” I could hear the fear in my voice and I let out a hiss. I felt him put a hand on my shoulder and he spun me back around. There was real concern in his voice when he said, “Obviously it does matter, you’re scared. Now just tell me.” His eyes were soft and I almost gave in. Then I remembered the last guy who looked at me like that and I pushed him away. I forgot about my books and dropped them as I growled out, “I’m not scared, it doesn’t matter, leave me alone!” I shouted the last part and flew off as fast as I could. “Liz!” I ignored Bricks shouting and Macey telling him to leave me alone, that I just wasn’t ready to tell anyone about it yet. I didn’t go far at all, just to the top of the library. I glared at them as I saw Butch put his arm around Macey and growled as she leaned into his touch. I rubbed my arm and pulled up my sleeve to expose what only Macey had seen once before. I traced the scars that littered my arm, the scars I had been given by myself and that boy. That boy that plagued my dreams, turning them into nightmares. The boy that ripped my heart out and destroyed my trust in the gender. Adam.
