My Girlfriend's a Vampire

Lawn of the Dead

"Think about it, guys! Anything we want! Cash. Cars. Candy," Benny listed as we walked down the hallway.

"So, you only use magic spells for stuff that starts with 'c'?" Ethan questioned.

Benny sighed. "Once, we were lonely high-school noobs. Now we're vampire-killing, spell-casting rock stars!" Benny continued.

"We? What do you mean we? You haven't touched magic since the Jesse incident while I've been practicing it right after I'm done with homework," I snorted.

Benny glared at me. "The world is our oyster," Benny ignored what I had said.

"Have you ever actually had oysters?" I questioned.

"Not something you want to swallow. More like something you'd cough up," Ethan finished.

"Yeah, nice. Nice image to start the day. There's the image I need!" Benny pointed to Della down the hall. "I know you're the Seer, but I can see her with me," Benny pointed to Della.

"And I saw you and I together before you started having visions," I whispered into Ethan's ear.

I could see the light tint of the pink coat on his cheeks at my words. "Keep the magic on the down-low, remember? Life just got back to normal," Ethan reasoned.

"Would you relax? I got this," Benny said. He made a bundle of flowers appear behind his back before going over to Della and giving them to her.

"My brother's an idiot," I sighed.

"That we still have to talk to about our relationship," Ethan added with a sigh.

"We'll get to that point, eventually. I mean, it's only been... five months?" I sighed at how long it's been.

"Best five months of my life," Ethan said, making me smile.

"I'll see you in History, okay? I love you," I whispered.

"Love you too," Ethan said.

I wanted more than anything to kiss him on the lips right then and there.

"Benny, why do you go to Ethan's without me? You know I had homework." I set my bag down near the door.

"Benny, maybe you should just conjure up a bracelet for this girl. I mean, reanimating a dead dog is overkill," Ethan reasoned.

"No, it's underkill. 'Cause the dog would be un-killed. Duh!" Benny joked.

"You don't even know how to do it. And I doubt (Y/n)'s risking her magic responsibility privileges to do so," Ethan argued.

"I agree with Ethan." I sat on his bed, taking out the spell book and reading through it.

"But I do know where to find the answers. Grandma's secret shelf. Well, not so secret since (Y/n)'s allowed in it, but..." Benny trailed off.

"Secret shelf? My bad feeling just got ten percent more bad," Ethan said.

"You and me both," I whispered.

There was a knock at Ethan's door, and I looked up. "Hey, guys. Ethan, dinner's almost ready," Mrs. Morgan informed us.

"What's that... aroma?" Ethan questioned.

"Did Jane melt one of her dolls again?" Benny joked with a short laugh.

"Actually, Ethan's dad is having a very, very important client over for dinner this Friday. So, I'm testing some recipes from TV's Greatest Chefs, and this is kelp and kimchi ratatouille. You want to try a sample?" Mrs. Morgan offered.
