Tam POV

Mrs. Alina is a vampire. I'm positive. Ever since I transferred here from Excellium, she's had it out for me. She's given me so many detentions in this dark and creepy classroom, where she sits and drinks some red liquid. I think its blood, Linh thinks it's tomato juice, but she's wrong. She also wears a cloak, every day! Even inside. I swear she has it out for me, that's why I keep reading books about vampires. Linh thinks it's because I'm a vampire, but she's wrong. She and all my friends are worried about me because I always smell like garlic. It's not my fault I had to hang it from my locker. But this all ends today. Today is the day I confront her, Wooden stake in hand.

The next day

#

"Tam, Wake up!" Linh yells at me "It's almost time for school!" I spring up grabbing my backpack that I had packed the night before with all of the normal vampire hunting equipment: Garlic, Flashlight, wooden stake. And run out the door. "Tam! I told you not to wear your clothes for the next day to sleep!"

"I don't care Linh!" I yell, running to the bus. Once I get there I flash my bus pass to the driver and run to sit near my good friend, Marella. "Hey, Mare!" I said to her after I sat down, flashing her a rare grin.

"I told you," she glares at me, "Don't call me that."

"And I told you," I glare back, "We've been friends forever. I can call you what I like."

"Fine," she gives in, "but only you!" She pauses for a second. "Should I even ask why you smell like garlic?" She raises her eyebrow at me.

"I'm confronting Mrs. Alina today," I say.

"Oh, I was wondering when that would happen," my other best friend, Dex says, plopping down in between Marella and me.

"How's Biana?" Marella sings. Dex turns bright red.

"W-what do you mean?" he stutters.

"You know very well what I mean." Marella snaps at Dex.

"I wanted to ask her out yesterday-" Dex starts

"Why didn't you?" I interrupt.

"My phone died," Dex says. "How was your weekend, Ella?" Marella glares at Dex.

"I told you, don't call me that." She growls. Dex ignores her

"How was your weekend?" He asks again.

"Fine," She says, calmer than before. "Who do you think Sophie's soulmate is?"

"Keefe," Dex says without hesitation.

"Well, I think it's Fitz." Marella shoots back.

"Of course you think it Wonderboy," Dex says with disgust. They continue to argue all the way to Foxfire where we all get out of the bus and head to our lockers. My locker is next to Linh's and Fitz's. Fitz, he's cute. NOPE! No way did I just think that. It's not like I'm gay or anything. Not that it's bad to be gay! To be honest I'm just trying to figure out who I am.

During Lunch Period

#

As I walk into the lunchroom, I go over my plan one more time. Go to my locker, grab my backpack, sneak over to Mrs. Alina's room (where she eats lunch), confront her. I then proceed to eat my lunch as fast as humanly possible. Then I sneak out of the cafeteria. Run to my locker, grab my backpack. Everything is going according to plan! Now all I have to do is get to Mrs. Alina's room. That shouldn't be too hard. I sprint towards Mrs. Alina's classroom, Just before I round the last corner I see a person walk around the corner.

"Oh, shi-" They say right before I crash into them causing us both to fall over. Me landing on top of him.

"Oh," I say, rubbing my head, "I'm so sorry."

"It's fine," Fitz says

"Thanks, Fitz," I say. Wait, FITZ, the hot Fitz. Uh oh...

"Umm, would you mind getting off?" he asks.

I feel heat rise to my cheeks as I scramble to get off of him. UGH, STUPID FEELINGS.

"What were you doing running down the hall?" Fitz asks

"I was going to see Mrs. Alina" I answer.

"And why do you smell like garlic?" he asks.

"I might have thought she was a vampire..." I say, embarrassed.

"Oh," he says, standing up. "That makes sense."

"You believe me?" I ask, confused.

He looks at me like it's obvious, "Why wouldn't I?"

"I just thought no one else here believed in vampires."

He leans in and whispers, "I do. But don't tell anyone."

I'm so flustered by being so close to Fitz, Fitz Freaking Vacker! All I can say is, "Woah" as I lean in a little closer.

"Can I kiss you?" Fitz whispers.

What do I say, if I say yes, then everyone will know I'm gay. Does this mean Fitz is also gay? Or maybe he is bisexual.

"Yes," I whisper, It's worth it. He leans in and kisses me, right on the lips. It feels incredible, like fireworks exploding in my stomach. Then after what was the best 3 seconds of my life, he pulls away, And slaps me, right across the face.

"Ow! What was that f-" I yell, rubbing my cheek. Then I see Fitz doing the same.

"You're my soulmate?" we ask together. Then, he leans in and pulls me into a tight hug.

"Will you be my boyfriend?" he asks.

"Uh, sure?" I laugh.

"Now," he starts, taking my hand, "We should probably get back to lunch."

I completely forget about my plan to prove that Ms. Alina is a vampire.
