Short Story 5

Hey guys! Sorry that i couldn't update the story! Sorry about that! So i decided to give you more than last time! Here we go!



“I don’t know, I guess because your mind is too complicated. One minute your sad. The next  your happy. I mean, come on, please make up your mind already!” I could see Annabelle’s mood change. She was sad no, I guess. I was thinking about what was coming out of my mouth. But she was getting in the way. Lunch was almost over and she was wasting time with her questions.
Eric looked at me as he laughed. Sometimes I forgot that I’m no the only one who could read minds. Eric was reading my mind while I thought about Annabelle.
“Fine. I’ll do it.” Eric said as he walked closer to Spencer. The closer you are, the better you could read their thoughts.
It took Eric about 5 minutes before he came back. When he did, he was laughing.
“What did you find out?” I asked.
“His girlfriend…” Eric was still laughing. “She dumped him. Said she had found someone more her “type””
So that’s why Spencer was so upset. He was dumped and Eric had thought it was so funny, that a guy Annabelle liked, was rejected.
“That’s not funny.” Annabelle said as she left. I guess she was getting moody again.
“God! Annabelle! I didn’t mean to get you mad!” Eric said, but it was too late. She was already out as the bell rang.
After lunch, I had Physical Education, Math and Biology. We never really did anything, I tried to avoid Spencer in Physical Ed and Bio. I never talked to him and tried to make sure he never saw me. I didn’t want to see him. At least not for the rest of the day.
When school was over, for today, I forgot that Eric had to go meet his thousand year old cousins. I was stuck here, walking back home. It sucked that I didn’t have my license yet. It sucked a lot. Annabelle and I are probably the last ones in grade 11, who DOESN’T have their license yet. My test was in a few weeks and Sadie promised that she was going to help me. Eric, on the other hand, had volunteered to help Annabelle with hers. Lately, Annabelle had been trying to avoid Eric. I think Eric has a feeling that Alex or Sadie had told Annabelle about his romantic feelings for her. I was walking home with Annabelle when I heard a beep. I quickly turn around and a saw a car. The driver rolled down his window and stuck his head out. It was Spencer! Annabelle, too noticed. She was getting all happy and excited.
“Hey,” Spencer said. He was looking at Annabelle when he said that. I felt so jealous, I mean, all the time, guys always, always, look at Annabelle that way. It was something that Annabelle and Eric both was in common. I hate to admit this, but, Annabelle is very beautiful. I mean, she had a nice shade of red orange curly hair, high cheekbones and had a beautiful face. Annabelle is both skinny and tall. While me, I’m skinny and short.
“Hey Spence!” I said.
“Rose, hey. Who’s she?” Spencer pointed at Annabelle.
“OH! This is my best friend Annabelle.”
“Annabelle, I’m Spencer. Are you new?”
“Yeah,” Annabelle started to twirl her hair. She was starting to flirt with him, my man!
“You and Rose both moved, huh? And your three friends, Alex, Sadie and Erie?”
“Eric.” I corrected. “It’s Eric, not Erie.”
“Oh! My bad. We had calculus together. And art. He’s really smart and a great artist.” I smiled. What can’t Eric do?
“Really?”
“Yeah, he’s very nice. We talked. He mentioned about you being his sister,” Spencer stared at me quickly. “You two don’t look like each other.”
“He’s my adopted brother. His parents adopted me.”
“Really? What happened?”
“My parents, they died., when I was 16.”
“So Eric is your brother. Aren’t you 16, right now?”
I completely forgot that I was a vampire. “Yeah, they died on… May.”
“I feel so bad.” I looked at Annabelle. Annabelle was starting to get mad.
“So… Spencer, can I call you Spence?” Annabelle said.
“Yeah, if you like.” Annabelle suck her tongue out at me.
“Do you guys have a ride?”
“No,” I said.
“I’ll drive you, if you like.”
“Sure!” Annabelle quickly answered. Spencer smiled at me, I started to blush. I quickly opened the door and sat next to Spencer. Annabelle glared at me.

                                                                           ***
I went into my room. Annabelle was staying over, tonight.
“I hate you Rose!”
“What? Why?”
“You know why! You practically stole Spence away from me!”
“Annabelle, stop. I wasn’t like that. You know me better than that.”
“Yeah.” Annabelle sat on my bed and laid on my bed. “Your lucky, you have so many classes with Spence.”
“I only have 3!”
“That’s a lot! I have 6 classes with Eric!”
“Oh! So, at least you have Eric, Sadie and Alex!”
“I don’t even have one class with Spencer!” I heard the door open. It was Eric.
“I heard someone call my name. What’s up.”
“I’m leaving.” Annabelle jumped off my bed. Eric blocked the door.
“You are not going anywhere, got that.” Annabelle knew better not to argue with Eric.
“Fine.” Annabelle crossed her arms and sat on my bed. She huffed.
Eric smiled. He leaned on the wall. “Cousin Lori and Cousin Delaney are here.”
I smiled. Lori and Delaney are my favourite cousins. They are 21 years old, they are actually 2011 years old. Eric was older than them, by a lot. I really have no idea how old he really is, it’s a mystery I want to solve.
Lori came in. She looked the exact same way I last saw her. Lori was wearing a yellow summer dress. Delaney followed. Lori and Delaney have the same birthdays but they are not sisters. Delaney is wearing a yellow designer t-shirt and white skinny jeans with long black boots. I ran and hugged them.
“Hey, Lori! Hey Delaney!”
“Rose! Annabelle.” Lori said.
“Hey,” Annabelle said. “I’ll go and do my homework.” Annabelle walked past Lori, Delaney, Eric and I. Eric quickly chased her. Delany started to laugh.
“Eric is still chasing Annabelle, huh?”
“Yeah.”
“I think that’s adorable!” Lori said. Delaney rolled her eyes.
“Eric, should really give up on Annabelle. Annabelle only likes humans, like Mike.” Mike is Delaney’s step brother. Delaney’s parents have split and her dad had married Mike’s mom. Mike doesn’t know anything about Delaney being an original vampire.
Eric’s POV
I chased after Annabelle. Annabelle stopped. She turned back at me.
“Why are you following me, Eric?”
“I’m not, I’m going to my room.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
“Isn’t your room that way?” Annabelle pointed to my room, next to Daniel’s.
“No, that’s… your.” Annabelle rolled her eyes.
“Whatever.”
“Do you need help?”
“For?”
“I don’t know. Homework, driving… anything?”
Annabelle thought for a moment. “I know. Get away from me, I mean my life?”
“What? Why?”
“Eric, please, stop helping me. I hate you!”
“You hate me!?” I yelled back. When I start to yell, I lose out of control. I can’t control any actions or words that come out.
“Of course I do! I hate seeing your face! It’s even worse that I have to see it everyday, at school. I have 6 classes with you!”
“Annabelle…”
“Why did you turn me into this? I hate being a vampire! I didn’t want to live forever, it’s horrible! My parents died and Anna…” she started to cry. “Go away!”
“It’s my house!”
“Just go!” I walked away from Annabelle, I can’t stand her anymore. She’s just too moody, I don’t think I can handle this anymore. I hurried downstairs. I took my keys and decided to stay over at Alex’s, for tonight.
Alex lives with my cousins, just to tell you, but I have a lot of cousins. They were mostly original vampires but some are human, like Mike. Alex opened the door.
“Hey!”
“Help me, please. I think I need a girlfriend.”
“What?” Alex started to laugh at little. I glared at him.
“I can’t, Annabelle, she just too much. Annabelle hates me. I need to like someone else.”
“So you don’t like Annabelle anymore?”
“No.”
Rose’s POV
I was mad at Annabelle. My parents were upset, that Eric ran off, again. We were eating dinner. I sat next to Lori and Delaney. While Annabelle sat next to Dave and Steff.
“Annabelle, what happened, between you and Eric?” I asked.
“Nothing! Nothing happened!”
“Really? Nothing?” Delaney laughed. Delaney doesn’t like Annabelle.
“Eric’s a baby.” Steff said. Steff and Dave are older than Eric, by 10 years, but in their human age, they are both 18.
Dave laughed. “I know. If you make fun of his face, he’ll move to Cuba!” I remembered that. It was 40 years ago, and Sadie had made fun of Eric’s busted lip, from falling off a cliff. Eric was so mad that he didn’t come back from Cube, until Sadie apologized. It wasn’t until 5 years, that Eric, finally came back. When he came back, my parents grounded him for 5 years.
“That’s not funny!” I yelled back.
“Gosh, Rose! Can’t you have a little fun? Once in a while?” Steff laughed and placed na arm around Annabelle. Steff like Annabelle, too. It explains why Steff hates Eric so much. Annabelle smiled and moved closer.
“I’m done. I’m going to take a walk.” I announced and stood up.
“Alright, sweetie!” Sophia called out. I loved Eric’s parents, they were so kind to me. I walked out the big double doors and headed out the house. Or Mansion of castle. I spotted Spencer! He was outside, running, with white shorts and a white tank top. I stood there and watched. When he spotted me, he ran towards me.
“Hey!” Spencer said and was a few metres away.
“Ummm… Hi?”
“Is something wrong with… your brother?”
“Huh, why?”
“I was out shooting some baskets, when I saw…”
“Eric,” I corrected.
“Yeah. I was Eric walk out, with a mad look on his face,” Spencer paused and looked at me quickly. “Did you two have a fight or something?”
“No. Annabelle said something to Eric and made him upset.”
“Oh, is he always like that?”
“Always.”
“Really? Care to tell me a story?”
“Yeah, sure,” I paused. Spencer was trying to get to know me! “One time, Annabelle forgot to feed his pet hamster, Hammy, when he went to California for a volleyball tournament. It died.”
“California…”
I forgot that Spencer’s ex-girlfriend lived there. “Yeah…”
“When was that? I think I saw Eric before.”
“Last year.”
“On July 27th?”
“Yeah.”
“Oh my god! Eric’s team killed us!”
“Oh!” Stupid Eric, stupid Eric!
“I was kind of glad that he wasn’t there this year.”
“Oh. Right, he went to London England, that summer.” he didn’t bother asking me to go. He went with Alex, to visit Eric’s older brother, older sister, younger sister and younger brother. Eric is the middle child.
“Tell him thanks. We were so happy that we won that tournament.”
“Oh. Alright. What sports do you play?”
“Me? Volleyball, beach volleyball, track and basketball. Do you play?”
“Me? No. I hate sports.”
Spencer laughed. “What about your brother?”
“Eric… soccer, volleyball, beach volleyball, basketball, football, swimming, track… and hockey. And tennis and badminton.”
“Wow, he’s an athlete. Are your parents too?”
“My dad. Not my mom.”
“Oh. Is he trying out for the team?”
“I think so.” of course he is.
“Oh”
“Why?”
“Well, it’s just that…. I wanted to be captain.”
“Oh! That’s good!”
“But your brother, he might take it. You know.”
“Oh.”
“What school did you attend too, before this one?”
“St.Eve Academy.”
“Really? That’s awesome! I tried to apply for it. But I couldn’t.”
“Why?”
“Well, it’s all the way in Orange County.”
“Right.”
“Why’d you come here, in North Carolina?”
“I have no idea!” Spencer laughed. “Do you want to come in, I mean in my house?”
“Sure,” I smiled and Spencer slimed back. I wanted to read his mind so badly, I wonder if the liked me too. Spencer followed me into the house. Spencer seemed to like the house.
“I like it. It’s nicer than mine.” I too him to Eric’s room. I opened his door. “So…this is his room , huh?” Spencer walked in with amazement. He looked at all Eric’s awards. “You see this?” he pointed at a trophy. “That’s the game me and my buddy lost to. It’s a beautiful trophy, huh?”
“Yeah.”
“Wow. I wish I had this many awards. MVP. Best soccer player.” Spencer looked around Eric’s room. It was clean, very clean, for a guy. Eric hated messes. Spencer looked at Eric’s pictures, on his table. Many are family pictures.
“Who are they?”
“You see him? He’s Eric’s older brother, Daniel and you see her? That is Fiona, Eric’s older sister. And the two youngest. That’s Max and Violet.”
“Wow. That’s a huge family! And are they your parents?”
“Yeah. Well, my adopted ones. Sophia and Maximus”
“And that’s you right?” He pointed at a picture of me and Eric.
“Yup.”
“And that’s your friend Sadie. She’s pretty.” I felt my heart break, again. “But she’s not that pretty. Like Annabelle. But, you too, are pretty.” I blushed. He thought I was pretty! “Where’s Eric anyway?”
“I have no idea.”
“You don’t know? You didn’t call him?”
“No. Why?”
“I thought you would know.”
“Oh. I’ll call him right now.” I took my cell phone out.
“You don’t have too. What are you doing in my room?” I turned around. Eric was standing outside his room, with Alex.
“Eric! Alex!”
“Hey! Rose! And Spencer?” Alex said, while he stared at Spencer.
“Hi.” Spencer said, cheerfully.
“Rose, why are showing Spencer my room?” Eric asked. Annabelle walked behind Eric.
“Your back,” Annabelle said. “Sorry,” I couldn’t catch the right words.
“No reason. He wanted to see your awards. He’s also an athlete. Like you.” Eric rose an eyebrow.
“Oh.” Eric walked in. he sat on his bed. “What sports?”
“Volleyball, beach volley ball, basketball and track.”
“Really? You any good?”
“Yeah. Well the school team is not that great. Like St.Eve.”
“Really? Well, with me and you and Alex, the school will win the championships. If we work together.”
“Really? We haven’t won that may games before.”
“Oh. I know that. Good thing that me and Alex came.”
“Yeah, I’ll tell the coach about you too.”
“Don’t forget to mention about St.Eve.”
“Oh. Don’t worry. I won’t.” Spencer looked at Annabelle. “Hey Annabelle! How’s it going?” I looked at Eric. He started to frown.
Annabelle walked in. “Hi Spencer, I was wondering where you were.”
“Really?”
“Yup.” Annabelle was starting to flirt with Spencer. Eric walked out the room. Spencer stared after Eric.
“Where is he going?”
“Who cares about Eric.” Annabelle said.
“Umm… I’ll see you three tomorrow? I want to play some ball with Eric. You wanna come, Alex?”
“Sure.” Alex and Spencer walked out.
“Eric! I’ll kill him. Why does he do that?”
“Why don’t you at least show him that you care.”
“But I don’t!”
“Sure you don’t.”
“I don’t! Why is he ruining my life?”
“Ask him.”
“I can’t! You said that Eric… cares about me?”
“I didn’t say anything. Alex did.”
“Is it true?”
“I don’t know. Has Eric ever showed any interest in you before?”
“I don’t know.”
“How did you meet Eric?”
“Huh? Why?” Annabelle sighed. “Well, I was 16. I was just outside, taking a morning walk, when I saw Eric, he was with this girl. His ex-girlfriend, Sonny.”
“Sonny… oh! I remember her! She’s an original, like Eric! His parents wanted him to marry Sonny.”
“I know that.” I heard Annabelle hiss. I noticed something. But I brushed it away, quickly. “Well, everyday, I saw him, he was always with Sonny. I think I was jealous. I mean. Eric is hot, but now, he’s not. I was getting annoyed that Eric was always with Sonny.”
“You thought Eric was hot?” I had to ask.
Annabelle blushed. “That was like 300 and something years ago! I don’t know! I was just young and stupid, that time. So… one day, I saw Eric and Sonny fighting. Cuz, Eric saw Sonny kiss another man and Eric, he broke up with her. Eric was so mad. I didn’t know that he was mad. So I walked to him and asked him what’s wrong and Sonny, she pushes me, and told me to go away. So I did. Later, I was going to the store, buying food, Eric kidnapped me! He took me to the forest and he bit me! I thought I was going to die, but he noticed that I was crying. And he stopped. He drained a lot of blood from me, so he cut himself and he spilled his blood into a cup. He told me to drink it. I didn’t want too, but Eric, he told me that I would die, if I didn’t drink it. I wanted to die, but Eric, he was being so nice, that I drank it!”

This is it, for now! Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!

Short Story 4

Hey guys! I'm going to post the next part but it's not as long. Sorry! I'll try to post more as soon as possible! Here we go!



The rest of the school day was normal. Like every other first day of school I’ve experienced. Boring. At lunch, I met Eric, Sadie, and Annabelle at a far table, in the back. They all looked like statues. Pale, not moving and staring in one spot. Sometimes, I had to remind them that we were around humans. Vampires never need to move. We don’t even need to breathe. We can be completely still forever and it won’t affect us at all. Unlike humans, who had to move constantly. I remember being human it was physically impossible for me to stand still and take a picture. Now that I have to keep moving or people will be suspicious of us. No human could stay still as long as a vampire could.
“Guys. No one here knows we’re vampires,” I whisper just loud enough for them to hear. “At least pretend to blink or something. And make it look like your eating.” That’s another thing about being a vampire. We don’t need to eat or sleep. We do drink, drink blood. We don’t have to sleep, so at night, we go hunting, for animals. NOT humans. Some vampires are bad and drink human blood. None of us have but Alex. Well, sometimes Eric.  Alex drank the blood out of Annabelle’s sister - Anna. It wasn’t really Alex’s fault, I think it’s more of Annabelle’s. But Alex, always seems to blame himself.
It all happened about a week after Alex had turned into a vampire, it was very hard to control yourself, from drinking anyone’s blood. You are usually kept in a house and do not see anyone with blood in them or you can attack and drain them of their blood. You are kept like this for as long as it takes, until you can learn to control yourself. It usually takes 6 months or more. For me, it only took me 3 months. This is only because I couldn’t drain someone of their blood. I just couldn’t. I could read their minds. When I read their minds, I feel all the pain of my prey was feeling, when I drain them. That is why I hate hunting. Eric hates it too. We feel all their pain which our prey was feeling. It is the worst feeling. We only hunt a little - at least not as much as the others.
Well, when Alex was only a week old of being a vampire, Annabelle accidentally brought her human sister to Alex. She claims it was an accident. She totally forgot about Alex. Anna didn’t know anything about vampires. She never knew about Annabelle being one herself. As soon as she entered the house, Alex smelt human blood fill the air. He jumped up to Anna. Anna was shocked. Alex bit her throat as she screamed. Alex couldn’t control himself, he didn’t know what he was doing. Eric, Annabelle, Mom and dad, all looked in shock as Annabelle’s sister was drained of her blood. Her skin turned paler and paler as Alex sucked and sucked her blood.
“Alex! Alex! STOP!” Annabelle had screamed.
It was too late, Anna was already dead, as she fell to the ground, lifeless. Annabelle didn’t know what to do. How would she explain this to her parents? Annabelle than decided to come clean and tell her parents. Tell them about vampires. Tell them about her being one. Of course, this was a long time ago, so , now, her human parents are dead. Annabelle now lives at Sadie’s house or at mine. She’s never really had anyone who loved her or even cared of her. She lost her parents and her only sister. No wonder why she seemed so upset when mike dumped her.
Now Annabelle and Alex are okay with what he had done, but you can’t say everything was so smooth between them. Annabelle still hasn’t fully forgiven him for what he had done and Alex, still hadn’t fully forgiven Annabelle for bringing her sister in the first place.
Now I see three vampires in front of me who couldn’t make it more obvious that they weren’t human.
“Come on guys!” I say as I smack Eric lightly on his back.
“Oh… sorry,” he said. “I was just thinking about Calculus. I have that class next.” Eric was smart, but not the nerdy kind of smart.
Annabelle and Sadie finally snapped out of their statue position.
“Oh, hey Rosy!” Annabelle was the only person who called me that, Rosy. “How’s school so far?”
“Great.” I lied. I was remembering my day so far. I remembered Physics class. Chemistry. Spencer. Then I had an idea. How could have not thought of this before?
“Eric…” Eric looked up at me. I could tell that his mind wasn’t with me because I was reading it.
“Eric, listen to me!”
“What?!”
“Can I ask you a favor?”
“What is it?”
“Can you read someone’s mind for me?”
“Do it yourself. I thought you could read minds.”
“What?” Annabelle and Sadie said at the same time. “You can read minds?”
“Yeah”
“Since when? Why didn’t you tell us”
“Since I became a vampire. I didn’t want to tell you us.”
“Then why hasn’t Eric told us yet?”
“Eric only discovered it a week ago. I think.” I said. “Anyways, that’s not what I wanted to say. I wanted to ask Eric if he could read Spence’s mind for me. His mind won’t let me. I want to see if you could do it for me.”
“What? That’s ridiculous!”
“Come on, I can’t stand being around someone whose mind I can’t read. It’s bad enough with Annabelle, I don’t need someone else’s who’s mind I can’t read.”
“What? Why can’t you read my mind?” Annabelle asked me.”

What'd you think of it so? Please comment and i really want to know what you all think of it!

Short Story 3

Hey guys! I promised that i was going to post today! Alright, this is the next part, but i didn't post too much. So you would have to stay tune next time. Mybe tomorrow, who knows! Alright, here we go!



I had to find Eric. I just had to. Eric was my vampire brother. He bit me. If it wasn’t for him, I would have ended up just like my parents. Dead. He was the one that saved me. Now I am adopted by his parents - Sophia and Maximus - and Eric is my adoptive brother. How could I leave him?
I ran out the mall doors and tired to look for Eric. I saw him. He was walking down the street, a few meters away from me. I ran to Eric. I could feel the wind blow in my face.
“ERIC!” I called out. “Eric stop!”
Eric stopped and looked back at me. “What? What do you want from me Rose?”
“Eric… I want to talk to you.”
“About what? About Annabelle, right?”
“Yeah.”
“No! I don’t want to talk about Annabelle.”
“Eric, why are you doing this?”
“Rose… you have to understand me. If I leave, it’ll be better for everyone. So Rose… just let me go!”
“I can’t Eric… I just can’t” I say as I see a black Mercedes pull up to us. It was our parents.
“Eric! Are you crazy? Sadie just called us, she told us what happened.” Sophia said.
Both our parents stepped out the car. Sophia walked to Eric and puts a hand on his shoulder.
“Eric, listen to me. You can’t just run away from us like this. Annabelle loves you but maybe not enough for you to be her… you know… boyfriend.”
Eric turned his head. I could read his mind. He was shocked that his parents knew about him and Annabelle.
“Eric, if you leave, think of how much you’ll hurt all of us. Think of how much you’ll hurt Sadie. Think of how you’ll hurt Alex. Think about how much you’ll hurt… Annabelle.”
Eric looked shocked. “I’m sorry. I never even stopped to think of others. I guess I only thought of myself.”
Just as he said this, Alex, Sadie and Annabelle came running to us.
“Eric!” Sadie said, as she held her arms to hug Eric. Eric held his arms out to hug her back.
“Eric… I’m so sorry.” Annabelle said. “I never really… noticed… I’m sorry.” She held her arms out too and Eric also hugged her back.
“It’s okay.” Eric says back.
After that, we all went in our car and drove back home. “That was the best mall trip ever!” Annabelle said sarcastically. “I bought so much clothing!”
Eric just chuckled when she said this. It was a pretty quiet drive to our house. When we got there, Annabelle, Sadie, Alex went to their houses.

There was a week until school started. The week went by pretty fast. I never really did anything. Hardly went outside and hardly saw anyone. Well, expect for Annabelle. She came over almost everyday.

It was September 7th when school started. Sadie, Alex, Annabelle, Eric and I, all were going to the same school, Lightwood Secondary School. Eric decided to drive us to school in his brand new, black Lamborghini 2011. That he just bought, with is own money. He wanted to try it out. But, it seemed that he wanted to show off his car. Typical Eric. Trying to get lots of attention. It’s not like it’s hard for people to notice Eric. Eric was hot; well not to me, but to other girls.
I had already gotten my schedule two days ago. Since I was late, picking my classes, the school choose them for me. Half of my classes were the ones I hated.
When we got to school, we all split up to find our classes. I had Physics for first period, so I headed to room 114, with the help of my school map. I hated the first day of school. I was always late for class.
When I got to class, I noticed I was the last to enter. All the eyes, of my classmates, shot me a look, as I walk to my seat.
I hated the first day of school. The teachers always gave boring lectures about classroom behaviors. I mean, how many times do we have to listen to the same lectures a day?
After Physics class, I had Chemistry. I was late again. When I got to class, there was only one seat available. Without looking up at all, I walked to an empty seat and figured it must be mine. I knew that all eyes were on me. It was bad enough reading their minds; I didn’t have to look at them too.
As I took my seat, if felt a tap on my shoulder. When I looked up, saw someone familiar. Deep, dark brown eyes; jet black hair; about 6 foot tall; well built; handsome. He was wearing a dark blue long-sleeved shirt, with jeans. His hair was sort of spiked up in the front and smoothly combed in the back.
I knew this person. Where had I seen him?
“Hey Rose! Remember me?!” he whispered to me.
His voice. It was so familiar. “Hey Spence!”  I said almost too loud. I looked up to see the teacher, but he didn’t notice, he was too busy walking something on the board. I looked back at Spencer. I looked at him. He looked like the athletic type of guy. He was well built, broad shoulders; strong. Just like Eric.
“How’s it going?” I said.
“Great!”
“I could hear the teacher going on and on with his stupid lecture. The good thing about being able to read minds was that you could know if the teacher notices if you are talking or not.
“Hey, Spence… can I ask you something?”
“Sure. What’s up?”
“What happened between you and Lora?” I could see his expression change. I was still curious. It was so hard not to be able to read someone’s mind, other than Annabelle.
“I already told you. Nothing happened. Why do you care so much?” He said. He just didn’t understand. He is human. Humans were so stupid. They never look beyond their world. They don’t understand our ways of thinking. It felt so annoying not to be able to read someone’s mind.
Spencer looked up to the clock. He noticed there was only 10 minutes left.
“Look, Rose,” he said pulling out a sheet of paper. “I’m not trying to be rude or anything, but I just don’t want anyone to know about this. Especially someone I hardly know.” He looked unfolded the piece of paper in his hand. “Look. Here’s my schedule. Let’s see if we have any other classes together.”
I opened my bag. My mind couldn’t let go of the words Spencer had just said to me. I don’t want anyone to know about his. Especially someone I hardly know. I mean, how he could tell me this. I reached out my hand which held my folded schedule, to him. As he took it from me, our fingers lightly touched causing my heart skip a beat. I felt my cheeks being to burn. I knew I was blushing. I was the worst at keeping my motions hidden away from others. My facial expressions always gave them away.
Spencer unfolded my schedule, as he compared his to mine. I could see his face brighten.
“Oh look!” he said turning the schedules so that I could see. “We have Physical Education together. Oh, look and Bio!”
“What a coincidence,” is ay. It was such a surprise to me. I never had friends in the same class. I have such bad luck. The bell rang. I had English next. Spence handed back my schedule.
“See you later,” he said as a group of his friend surrounded him.
“You too!”
As I walked out the class, all that was on my mind was my conversation with Spencer. What did he mean he hardly knew me? Did I mean that little to him? His words. His voice. I just couldn’t get them out of head. I just couldn’t take it anymore. I couldn’t take the fact that I was never accepted. No one cared for me. Not even Spencer. Spencer. The only one I thought would be perfect had thought of me like I was a normal everyday person. I had to accept the fact that Spencer was only a friend. And nothing but a friend, I decided as I rushed out the door in the direction of room 237 - my English room.

There you have it! The next part, and no, we still haven't decided on a title yet! And remember, please, please, please, comment! I really want to know what all you guys think about it so far! i would really like it if you try to show this blog to all your friends! 

Thank you,

Short Story 2

Hey guys! This is the next part to our story! And no, we still haven't names this story yet, and we are almost done the whole story! Here you go!



“It’s okay.” I saw Annabelle walk back. Annabelle had a sad face. Mike dumped Annabelle. I could see it in her face and I could read Annabelle’s mind.
“Annabelle, what’s the matter?” I asked.
“I-It’s nothing.” I saw a tear run down. Annabelle quickly wiped it away. “It’s my allergies. I think there acting up.” Annabelle tried to laugh it off, but it came out as cries. Annabelle started to break down. I saw Eric look at Annabelle, with a worried expression. Eric was telling himself not to care, but clearly, he cared a lot! Eric took Annabelle in his arms making Annabelle push him away.
“Get away from me!” Annabelle’s moods have acted up. It was her angry faze. Eric had a hurt look on his face and walked away. Eric didn’t want this. I ran after Eric. “Eric, come back!”
“Why? Annabelle doesn’t care about me, you saw her! She pushed me, if I was a old shirt she found in her closet!”
“Eric, listen. Annabelle is upset. Mike dumped her.”
“I know. You aren’t the only special one!”
“What?”
“I can read minds too! Stop thinking that you are the only one.”
“You can too? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Cuz, I didn’t want too. Your so proud of it.”
“No I’m not! I hate it! It’s like a curse!”
“Like being a vampire? I know that you hate it. I know you hated it that I bit you.”
“You bit me? I thought it was Alex!”
“Whatever. I’m going somewhere. To get away from North Carolina. I can’t stand being here.”
“You can’t!”
“Why can’t I? I don’t want to live here anymore.”
“Why?”
“To get away from you.” Eric walked off. I stood there. The words kept repeating in my mind. The words stung me. Eric was leaving and I had something to do with it. Eric was no where to be seen. I had no clue where he was going. Then I remembered Eric telling me that he always wanted to go to Paris, not by himself, but with Annabelle. I walked back to Annabelle, Sadie and Alex. Annabelle was still crying.
“Annabelle…”
“He doesn’t want me anymore! He said that I’m way too young! I’m way older! He just doesn’t know that!”
“Come on, Annabelle… hey. Where’s Eric?” Alex asked.
“Eric doesn’t want to be part of this group.”
“Why?” I looked back at Sadie Alex.
“He can’t stand being here.”
“Do you know where he went?” Sadie asked.
“He must have gone to Paris.” Alex said.
“I think so too.”
“It’s Annabelle’s fault.” Alex whispered. Alex never approved of Eric liking Annabelle. Eric was an original vampire. Eric was about million years old. Eric’s parents are still alive. Ales was turned in the year of 1561. Annabelle was turned in the year of 1641. And Sadie was turned in the year of 1717. I know that I said that Annabelle and I have been friends since I was 4. The thing about Annabelle it that she can change her identity. She can be an old women or a little kid. Eric is an original vampire that means that they have lots of special abilities. Annabelle was bitten by Eric and it makes Eric mad that Annabelle doesn’t care about him. Annabelle always pushes him around. Sometimes I think that Annabelle might like Eric. The thing about Annabelle is that it takes a lot of my energy to mind Annabelle’s emotions. Annabelle doesn’t want me to know. I met Sadie a week after I got bitten. I always thought that Sadie hated me but Sadie was jealous. Annabelle and Sadie use to be best friends but when I met Annabelle, everything fell apart for Annabelle and Sadie.
“Stop crying Annabelle!” Alex hated when Annabelle cried. The truth is that Alex doesn’t even like Annabelle.
Annabelle stopped crying. “Who cares about Eric!”
“Eric is your master, Annabelle!” Sadie yelled out loud.
“So, what do I give a care?” Annabelle was in her mad mood.
“It’s your fault that Eric left.” Alex pointed out.
“My fault? How? I pushed him, so.”
“So? You don’t even understand how Eric feels about you! You are so clueless!”
“Clueless? I’m not dumb!”
Alex laughed. “Eric likes you. I mean he loves you. When you pushed him away, it only made Eric mad. So he left, because of you.”
“Eric likes me? Eww… that’s disgusting.”
“You are very annoying, Anna.”
“Don’t call me Anna! It only reminds me of my dead sister!”
“Right. That I killed.” Alex said. I knew there was going to be a fight. Eric usually stops it, but he’s not here.

to be continued.... i might post the next part tomorrow! stay toon!

Short Story

Hey, guys! We have made a short story during class and we would like to share it with you, if you don't mind? If you like it, just feel free to tell us what you think of the story so far. And no, we don't have a title yet. It we will make one soon. Here you go:

    As I look out the window, I see green. Birds chirping. My neighbours playing outside. I guess I’m going to have to get used to this neighbourhood. I just moved here. As I continue to look out the window, i see a young guy, about my age. I’ve only moved here about a week ago and don’t have many friends, but i know that all my friends think he’s hot. I guess he’s pretty hot, but I know i will never get the chance with him. He’s way to hot for me, I think I turn myself and look into the mirror. I look at myself, gray eyes, pink lips, brown hair, and skinny. I mean I’m so normal, what kind of a guy would like me. I quickly changed out of my pyjamas and into my outdoor clothes. I was supposed to meet my friends at the mall today. As soon as i step outside the door, I feel a cool breeze. It was nice out. I walk a few steps and was about to cross the street when i felt a tap on my shoulder.
“Hey, you new around here?” I heard as I turned myself. It was my neighbour, the one my friends think i hot.
“Yeah,” I say, “I’m Rose.”
“Hey Rose, nice to meet you,” he said as he placed a grin on his face. “I’m Spencer.”
I smile and say, “So... how long have you lived here?” He replies like he’s trying to think his words carefully.
“I’ve been here for 2 years.” I nod. I was about to say something, but i had a feeling that Spencer’s cell phone was going to ring. I knew this because I was psychic. I could read minds. I wasn’t a freak, I used to be a normal girl with crushes, and i would drool over guys and clothing. All that stopped when I was in the car with my family, coming back from a vacation, when all of a sudden, the air bags blown up and I watch the car crash.
That was the last moment in my life in which i was human. Before, any of this ever happened. Now, I am immortal and can read minds. I can live forever and still look the same. I was born on 1874, and it’s 2011. I’m still 16.
I watched him walk away, talking on his phone. I stared at him. I was in love. Spencer had dark brown eyes, beautiful eyes. I loved brown eyes. Spencer was very tall, about 6 feet tall? He had jet black hair. Iwas still string at him, while he walked back. He waved.
“Hey.”
“Um... hi? How’s it going?” I was blushing, a deep shade of red.
“Nice.”
“Who was that, I mean on the phone.” I didn’t want to be nosey, but I was very curious.
“That was my girlfriend...”
Girlfriend? I felt my heart break into a million pieces. “Your girlfriend?”
“Yeah. She lives in California.”
“Long distance relationship?”
“Yeah”
“What’s her name?”
“Lora.”
“Lora... that’s a nice name.” I said as my cell phone started to vibrate. I knew it was Annabelle, my friend who is probably going to kill me since I am supposed to meet her at the mall and I am late.
“Oh! It’s my friend,” I say. “I’m supposed to meet my friend at the mall, but I don’t have a ride since my parents are at work. So, I guess I’m going to have to walk there.”
Spencer, who was looking at the ground, hands in his pocket, looks up. “Really? I’ll take you th-“
“No, it’s okay. I mean you probably have things to do and-“
“No, I don’t have anything to do and my parents aren’t home. So I can take you there.”
“You sure?”
“Yep.”
“Okay then, let’s go. Annabelle is going to kill me.”
It was a quiet walk. I could sense something was wrong with Spencer. I just knew something was wrong with him, but why wasn’t my brain reading his? I tried and tried to fish into his mind and figure what was wrong, but nothing came to me. I am able to read anyone’s minds, as long they weren’t too far. What is happening? Am I losing my powers?
“Spencer... can I ask you something?”
“First of all, you can call me Spence and of course you can ask me something.”
“Well...” I said as we were walking. I noticed that a smile was on his face as I continued to talk. “I was wondering... is something bothering you?”
“Who me?” he said as I nodded. “No... I mean, why? Do I look like I’m sad?”
I looked at him for a while. He was wearing a yellow t-shirt with black shorts. “Well, I don’t know... it’s just that after you phone call... you know... the one from... Lora...” It was taking forever to get the words out of my mouth. “You sort of... looked sad... I mean did something happen?”
“Well, it’s a long story- a boring one too”
“It’s okay... I can listen.”
“No. Trust me. You don’t want to hear it.”
Why wasn’t he telling me? What was happening to me? Why couldn’t I read his mind? This was driving me crazy. I decided not to push him too hard into telling me what was wrong, or else he’d think I was too nosey. So, I changed the topic.
“So... what school do you go to?”
“Well, actually I’m going to grade 11 and I go to Lightwood High School.”
“Really? Me too!” I say as I notice that we are at the mall. Spence looks up at me and says, “That great! So... I guess we’re here... and I’ll be seeing you.”
I look up trying to find Annabelle and the rest of my friends. When I find them, they all look shocked. I could read their minds. They were all thinking, ‘What is she doing with him?’ I almost forgot who I was with. I was with Spence. The one they all dreamt of.
“So, Spence... i guess I’ll be seeing you too- oh, and thanks for keeping me company.”
“Anytime,” he said as he starts to back away from me. “I guess me and you have a lot to learn about each other,” he says.
“Yeah, of course!” I say as he turns his back and walks away. (NO! NO! NO! NO! Spence, you can’t know everything about me! You can’t You Can’t! You can’t! I am not human. I am a vampire.) I think as I walk to Annabelle and the rest.
I walked towards Annabelle and my three friends. Sadie, Alex, and Eric. Annabelle and I have been friends ever since we were 4 years old. Annabelle is tall and skinny. Annabelle isn’t very bright. She had a nice shade of orange and a hint of red; it’s very long and curly. Annabelle also has a lot of mood swings. I’m very use to it but sometimes she can be a bit too moody. Annabelle had one arm on her hip and she was frowning. I knew that she likes Spencer but Annabelle is already dating Mike. Mike is my cousin, and Mike is 19. Annabelle has a thing for younger men. Mike attends NYU. Mike is very smart. Eric and Alex have been my guy’s friends since I was 10. Eric and Alex are very tall. Eric really likes Annabelle. But Annabelle does not know. Alex likes Sadie. Sadie like Spencer. So Annabelle, Sadie, and I like Spencer.
“Rose, what are you doing with him?” Annabelle said.
“Don’t any of you say ‘Hey’ anymore?”
“Hey, Rose!” It was Eric.
“Hey Eric.”
Annabelle rolls her eyes and say, “Enough chitter chatter, I need clothing to impress Spencer!”
“What!” I say.
“I’m just kidding. I’m not that much of a freak!”
We keep talking as Eric comes to walk next to me.
“What was Spence doing with you?” he whispers to me.
“How do you know Spence?”
“I heard you and Annabelle talk about him.” I could see his expression change from happy to sad. I could read his mind, he really liked Annabelle, what Spence had that Eric never had to make Annabelle like him so much. Eric was that Annabelle could love a human, named Mike and also another human, she hardly knows Spencer! I mean, didn’t she see his feelings for her? Eric, Annabelle, Alex, Sadie and I are all vampires. I can still remember the story of how I became one.
                                                                                     ***
It was 137 years ago. It all happened when I was 16 and I and my family were going on a family trip. I really never wanted to go but for some reason, I had too. It was a nice sunny day; I can still remember the smell of the flowers that my mom planted. Their smell was out into the air that day. It was a long ride. My legs were aching from sitting in the same position. I was getting bored. As my dad was driving, all of the sudden, a car was speeding and hit us. The air bags blew up. That was the last thing I remember before waking up in a room I’ve never seen before. It was a dark room. There was a bloody smell.
“Mom… Dad…?”
I could here faint whispers in the back ground.
“She’s waking up” Someone says. My ears were picking up lots of sound.
“Yeah… your parents are fine.” a guy’s voice tells me. “They are right next to you.”
I was tired. I could barely open my eyes. My parents were right next to me. They looked pale. There was a pool of blood next to them.
“You tell her.” I could hear in the background.
“Fine,” said another voice.
“I’m Eric… I rescued you and your parents from the car accident. When I saw you I bit you and your parents and I brought you here to my house.”
“Bit me?”
“Yeah…. I’m a vampire.”
As soon as I heard those words, I felt as if I could have been dreaming, no, even worse, a nightmare. I snapped out of it. I felt Alex tap me.
 “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. Really, it’s nothing.” I tried to smile. It was weird, my parents wre dead and now I have adopted parents.
“I’m hungry. I’m going to get fries. Do you guys want any?” Annabelle is trying to lose weight, but Annabelle is naturally skinny.
“I’m good.”
“Alright. Alex? Eric? Sadie?” They all shook their heads. I knew that Eric wanted to go, but he saw Mike. “Oh! Look, it’s my boyfriend! I’ll catch up with you guys later!” Annabelle ran to Mike. I heard Eric sigh.
“Dude, just tell her already!”
“Yeah. I know that Annabelle just sees you as a friend.”
“You hear that, just friends? I want to be part of Annabelle’s life. Not as a friend but as a…”
“Boyfriend? We’ve heard it all the time!” Alex started to complain.
“I told you guys this before?”
“Well, dah!” It was Sadie. I placed an arm on Eric’s shoulder.
“Its okay, Eric.”
“No it’s not! I don’t want to watch Annabelle fall in love with guys/humans all the time! How would you feel, if the guy you like, like someone else? How would that make you feel, Rose?” I backed away. Eric was never like this. I’ve known him since forever.
“Eric, what’s the matter with you?”
“Just go away! I want to be alone! I’m sorry! But I’m having a diva moment right now.” Diva moment? I didn’t know what to say. Eric was never moody. He was always happy and fun loving.
“But Eric…”
“Come on dude, like someone else, like… Rose!” Eric started to laugh.
“Rose?! Never!” I felt so invisible. I was standing in front of him. “Sorry Rose.”
