Vampire Love by Alex Severini (good books for 8th graders TXT) 📕

       I get back into the  class room, the teacher is giving me a concerned look like are you okay. And I just smiled at her, and sat at my desk. There was two worksheets I had to do for classwork. I took out my old notes from middle school, and started to work on the two worksheets for the rest of the class period. When I was on the last question for the second worksheet, my phone when off. I jumped out of surprised because I was so focused on the worksheet I wasn’t expecting it. I take it out and it was a phone number I didn’t recognized, so I ask who it was and it said it was Carter.  He asked “why did you put a comment in your contact asking me what is going on?”  I didn’t know what to say. I just sat there trying really hard to decided what I should say back. But my mind was all over the place. So I just said “that was a mistake, just get rid of it.” He replied “I don’t believe that Maria, you have so many questions that you have for me. So why don’t you just ask them?” I was shocked, how did he know that I had questions for him, and why is he acting like he knows what I’m thinking. I replied “okay you got me Carter, I do have many questions for you. But how in the world did you know I wanted to ask you some questions?” There was no reply back to the question. So I just starting asking him some questions I had on the tip of my head. “Why were you standing outside of my classroom, I had next?” He started texting me back. “Well, I saw your schedule and I went to your classroom, sorry about that. I didn’t mean to make it seem like I was following you at all.” I replied back. “it’s, okay but how in the world did you get to my class room first? Like it’s really hard to get to my classroom because of all the traffic there is from all the students in the hallways?”  There was no reply. Why isn’t he answering my questions? Is he hiding something? I was thinking so hard that the bell ring and I forgot to pack up all my stuff. I rushed to get everything in my backpack and I run out the classroom. And then I run into someone. I fall down and I shake my head to get myself back into the zone. I look up, it was carter looking down at me. But something was different about him. He didn’t look the same when I first saw him. His eye color changed. It was dark red. I was startled by this, so I stood up really fast. I tried to get past him. But he stopped me by holding his arm out in front of me. “Can you please let me pass you carter?” I said annoyed. He just laughs lightly and said.  “So about those questions you were asking me. I haven’t answered some of them did I?” I stepped back a little bit and carter put his arm down. I look at him, in confusion. “why didn’t you answer some of the questions I asked you?” I asked. He leaned up close to my ear, and whispered. “Well there are somethings I have to keep to myself, for other people to not know what, or who I really am”. My eyes widen when he said this. Because what he was really saying was, he wasn’t human. I look to the side and ask him. “So you’re not human, are you?” He looks at me with a smile on his face. Your correct Maria. I look up at him and look into his eyes trying to see if I could figure out what he really was. He looks at me in joy to know that I finally figured out that he wasn’t human. But why is he here in school? I put my head down, I ask. “Can you tell me what you are really?” He shook his head no, and smiled. “I’m not going to give it away that soon Maria.” He said in a low voice. I got chills going down my spine when he said it like that. The bell rings for my fifth class to start. I start to panic and I run off. Carter just stands there watching me run down the stairs to my next class. I get to my other class and I sit down at my seat, trying to seem like I was already in the class when the bell rang

        I just want this day to end. This Carter person is very interesting. I like him but why is he here, in my school? It’s like one day he wasn’t there and then another day he just appears in are class room, then wants to start talking to me. That is really odd for someone to do that! But whatever, I hope this is just a big dream, and tomorrow is going to be a new day. I hope this Carter person isn’t here. I put my head down and listen to are teacher talking about World War 2. Like I said before I know this stuff because of middle school. So I  doze off while the teacher is talking. I’m tired from having to deal with all this confusion about this Carter dude. But I have tell you he is a really hot dude. Like honestly, I’m surprised that girls aren’t following him and screaming when ever they see him. Like people seem like they don’t even see him. The teacher taps on my desk and I wake up. The teacher said. “Stay awake Maria this isn’t nap time!” I groaned. I sat up and pulled out a piece of paper. Took some note that were on the board just for fun. Hay I didn’t have must to do so I tried to make the time fly by fast. There was still 30 minutes left until it was time to go home. I was thinking about just hanging out in the bathroom until the bell rings for us to go home. But then the teacher will write me up for skipping class. I put my head back down on the desk, and just started thinking about carter. Then my phone goes off. I look at it and says meet me at the bathroom after the bell rings. I sighed and I try to decide if I want to go see carter, or just get on the bus to go home. I think for a little bit, and then I looked at the clock and there is 5 more minute left until the bell rings. My head was racing and I didn’t know what to do. I just thought if I go see carter then I can know more about him and if I don’t then I will not know anything about until tomorrow. And in my mind I was really dying to know him more. So I come up with going to go see carter after the bell rings. I wait a little bit longer and then the bell rings. I rush out of the class room and go to the bathroom closest to my class room, and there he was waiting for me like he said in the text. But this time he looked a lot different. His hair changed color and his size was taller. I was frightened and didn’t want to get to close to him. Because I remembered he isn’t human so I don’t know what he will do to me. Carter starts walking towards me.

        I feel shivers go down my spin with every step he took to get closer to me. I stood there looking up at him. Carter said. “glad you could made it miss Maria.” He smiles and leans his head by my neck. I froze where I was standing. Because I didn’t know what he was going to do to me. He looked like he was starving from no food. Carter steps back and laughs softly. “what’s with the look Maria? Cat got your tongue!” He said. “no, I was just not expecting you to be so close to me that’s all.” I said. He laughs, “well I’m glad you could see me I have so much to talk to you about.” He said. I blushed when he said this because I was really nervous to be around someone this handsome. Man in my mind I thought I was going to faint from his looks. Carter starts walking down the hall to two double doors and opens one and holds it out for me to walk through. I walk through it. I just followed him and it seemed like he was leading me to his house. I asked” where are we going carter?” He replied. “to my house of course. I don’t like hanging in school so I decided to take you to my house where it’s much easier to talk to you without worrying about other people listening to are conversation.” Carter said. “well why couldn’t we go to the park or somewhere else?” I asked. Carter stopped in his tracks and turned around slowly. “Look I have a lot to talk to you about.  I don’t have time for fighting about where we can go to talk. Okay?” he said angerly. I stayed quite for the rest of the time while we walked to his house, because how he reacted to what I said. I was really nervous and was scared out of my mind to find out what he really was. A vampire? Werewolf?  What is he?! We finally got to his house. It felt like we have been walking forever. Carter looks behind him and looks at me “you oaky maria?” he asked. I was walking fast to catch up with him so
