'Dork'

'Whale'

'Nerd'

'Fatass'

'What happened to her head? She looks like she got malled by a cat'

'I know! it looks like birds mated in her hair'

I heard everyone whisper around me, calling me names. It hurts but I just ignore it. I bumped into someone

"Hey ugly, watch were your going" Robin, the head cheerleader, sneered as she shoved me into the lockers.

"I-I-I'm s-s-sorry." I stuttered timidly, cowering away from her wrath. I wish I could stand up to her.

"Ugh." She walked by, shoving me into the lockers once again before storming off. I will probably have a bruise in the morning, but that's nothing new. As much as I hate Robin, I have to admit she is pretty, She has a natural tan not the usual fake orange spray tan of the other cheerleaders , shes average height, and has the body I aspire to have. But she has her faults too...like her personality, bleach blonde hair and cake face smothered in make up.

I started to walk home, with my shoulder throbbing. My asshole of a neighbor is supposed to give me a ride but he already left. Our parents made a deal that if he would give me rides, I would tutor him but that rarely happens. He only gives me rides to a block away from school in the mornings (because I embarrass him) and I help him with his papers some times, which means I do most of the work. I asked my parents for a car for my 16th and 17th birthdays but maybe my 18th birthday will be the lucky one. Third times a charm, right?

Nearing the forest by the pond in my favorite park by my house, I sat down on a bench to do my homework. I'm supposed to walk straight home but my parents won't know that I didn't. They both have full time jobs and rarely get home from work before 8 p.m.

Homework come easily to me. It has always been my distraction from my life. I've been bullied since I gained weight in middle school. I used to be really cute and I'm not quite sure what happened but I gained hella weight. I lost a lot of it when I went to camp over the summers. Now I'm pretty much just average.

When I finished with my homework I threw my backpack over my shoulder. I walked down to the pond and looked at my reflection in the water. I was obviously ugly I mean looking at my crazy, untamable curly dark hair, round nerdy glasses, and acne-covered chubby face. I may be tall and an average weight but I hide my body under baggy clothes, I am probably the most mediocre looking girl on the face of the planet. I rarely put any effort into my appearance, I have more important things to focus on. I have school and my family and my future. Those are the most important things to me. I don't care what I look like because I know that Robin would make fun of me no matter what. Maybe If I was better looking than people would leave me alone, though. I think about that often. The only issue is I always snooze my alarm and end up not having any time to get ready in the morning.

I heard a twig snap and a thump nearby and my head whipped towards the noise. The noise turned out to be a really cute guy who looked about my age, who apparently tripped over his own feet. I rushed to see if he was alright.

"Ow" he muttered to himself while picking the small sticks and pebbles out of his hands.

"Are you okay?" I said with a giggle. His eyes snapped to mine. That's when I truly noticed how good he looked, red-ish brown eyes, white blonde hair, and very pale flawless skin.

"Yeah,I'm fine." He said pushing himself up from the ground. "Hi, I'm Dex, sorry you had to see that."

"It's okay, I'm Kennedy nice to meet you." I said stretching my hand towards him. His hand slid into mine and it was ice cold. His cold hand shocked me at first but I thought nothing of it.

"Well Kennedy, would you like to take a walk with me?" Dex asked me with a dazzling smile. at first I was shocked. There's no way a cute boy would ever want to take a walk with me. Then I became apprehensive, taking a walk with a stranger is creepy right? I pushed these thoughts out of my mind then I jumped at the chance because it's not everyday that a hot guy wants to walk with me.

We walked in silence for a little while then we just made small talk about likes and dislike, just random stuff. It was still kind of a shock to me that a guy like him would even talk to a girl like me. Somehow we managed to get from the park to a trail deep in the woods.

"Do you live around here?" Dex asked me.

"Yeah I live just up the street in the gray house between the red house and a light green house." I answered my brain was screaming at me not to tell him but it was like I couldn't control my mouth. He smirked and started to walk slower. Now I was nervous.

"Um... Dex, it's 5:30 I think I should get going." I said turning to face him, but he wasn't there. Creepy bastard, left me alone in the woods. perfect.

I was about to start walking again when I was slammed up against a tree with something sharp poking into my neck. I thought it was a knife at first but then I felt his hot breath and two pointy teeth.

"If you don't move it hurts less." Dex said in a soft, calm tone. His teeth scraped a long my neck when he spoke. "Just don't fight it And you'll be fine." I relaxed a little in his arms but I was still scared shitless. I've seen movies where girls fight things like this and they end up being tortured and I refuse to let that happen to me.

"W-w-what are you going to do to m-me?" My voice came out even less confident than I had hoped for.

"I'm going to change your life..." He breathed out. I was about to ask what the hell that was supposed to mean when I felt him bite down.

A searing pain went through my whole body because of his bite. It caused me to scream out in pain. Soon the pain became pleasure and I had to bite down on my lip to stop a moan from coming out. He pulled his teeth out and looked at me. I then realized what he was when I saw his elongated teeth dripping with blood, My blood. He's a vampire. Just my freaking luck.

I felt myself growing weak and saw little spots all over the place before everything went black. My last thought was 'well this is just fucking perfect. I'm about to die in the woods...'
