floating

blood drive

"Hey, guys. Cookie?" She was wearing a nurses outfit.

"A student volunteer? That is so devious." Sarah says.

"Actually it's kinda clever." I shrugged my shoulders.

"I know, right?" She nods at me. "So when are you gonna take a sip? The sooner we get past this whale awkward phase of our friendship, the better."

"I don't eat humans. Sorry if thats awkward for you." Sarah criticized. She then checked her bag of chips to see it was empty. She ran off to find more. Erica rolled her eyes walking after her.

"What's the deal with Sarah?" Benny asked.

"Its the smell. She's scarfing junk food to dull the craving." Ethan responds.

"Mortal foods not gonna satisfy her hunger. That's like Vampire 101." Benny tells us.

"We'd better keep an eye on her." Ethan says.

"And our other fanged friends as well." Benny points out.

"Rory." I gasped then ran off. I looked around the school until I saw Rory by his locker. "Hey Rory."

"Hey Dria." He closed his locker then we walked off. "What's up."

"N-nothing. Nothing much. Nothing at all." I stuttered.

"Ok!" He smiled. I shook my head as we saw Erica. "A blood vending machine!" Rory exclaims.

"Shh!" Erica and I hushed him.

"Hey, would you like to go on a secret mission?" Erica asks.

"Erica, please n-" I tried.

"Ok!" Rory says to her. I looked away. She was always prettier than me.

"Good." She then looks up at me. "Wait here." She walks up to me. "Are you ok?"

"You're gonna make him rob the truck aren't you?" I asked but then thought about it for a second. "Well I guess since you aren't technically draining anybody its ok just don't let him get in too much trouble?"

"I promise I won't. I also promise that I will talk to him for you. He's to oblivious to see it on his own." She was about to walk away. "He does like you though." She and him then ran away. I dragged my feet back to my locker where my brother and Ethan are.

"Rory's up to something with Erica." Benny says.

"Uh, dude, I think she already knows." Ethan says. "What's wrong?"

"Why doesn't he like me. As soon as she said something he ran straight to her." I sniffled.

"No he does Lex. Really he does." Benny comforts.

"Yeah, we never have had to force him down from floating once while he's either thinking about her or near her. It's always been you." Ethan says.

"Really?" I asked them.

"Really. Now let's go stop him before he makes a big mistake." Benny says.

"Did he tell you what they were doing?" Ethan asks.

"Well it doesn't take an idiot to figure it out but I guess it does. They're gonna rob the truck." I sighed.

"Ok good now I just gotta find away to track them." Ethan says to himself as he walks away.

"M-maybe we should let them." I stammered.

"What?" Benny turns to me.

"I-i mean its not like they're draining anyone. Besides those nurses seem kinda sketchy. Like, did you even see their outfits?" I explained.
