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

needing blood.” Carter just laughs. “relax I got this. So far I think she is interested in me. Because she doesn’t seem to talk to me that much. And she always looks at me in a really cute face.” Carter explained. I was shocked to hear what he just said about him being a vampire. So he is a blood sucking person! That is cool, but I don’t think I would want my blood to be sucked out of my body any time soon. I just shook me head when I thought of him sucking my blood. Then I start hearing footsteps coming towards me from the room. I started panicking. I just stood there figuring what I should do. Should I run away? Should I stay here and act like I was lost? Or just stand here and tell him the truth, that I heard what he said? Man so many thing where going through my mind. I just choice to play like I was lost. I stood out in the hall a little bit and acted like I was trying to figure out which way to go next. The I see the door open all the way, and I jump out of surprise. I acted like I didn’t know he was in that door. “ohh hay maria I was wondering where you went.” Carter said. “ohh sorry about that carter I was think about something that I wasn’t paying attention to where you where heading. So I got lost. Sorry about that” I said nervously. “It’s okay Maria. This place will take a while to know where everything is.” Carter explained. I just put my head down, trying not to blush because I was really embarrassed to say I got lost. Carter just looks at me with a smirk on his face. I sigh, and I say “okay so where is the room I’m going to be staying in?” Carter just opened up a door right beside him and there was my bag laying on the bed. I peaked inside the room. “ you can go inside you know. There are boobytraps in there.” He said. I just rolled my eyes when he said that. I walk in the room and look around. I was a large room. It was bigger then y room in my house. There was a walk in closet. There was some  furniture in the room. There was a studying desk I could do my homework. It was a very opened room. There was a very large window to look out from, to see some flower fields. “so you like the room Maria? Carter asks. “ohh yes I love it. thank you for letting me stay at your place for a couple days carter.” I replied. When I was saying this I knew what he was doing. He wanted me to stay at his house to get to know me more and then ask me to be his. Oh my gosh I can’t wait until he asks me. I will just throw my arms around his neck and kiss him right on the spot where he is standing at. I just smiles at him, trying to not show how I was feeling inside. But at the same time I really badly wanted to tell him that I overheard his conversation with Jack, I think that is his name. But who ever he was talking to. I really badly wanted to say something to him. Chapter 8

My heart was racing, and I was starting to flip out inside. Carter just looks at me with a smile on his face. “So how long will you be able to stay at my place? He asked. “ummm I really don’t know how long I will stay? How long are you okay with me stay at your place carter? I asked. Well I’m not picky, you can stay at my place as long as you want. I really don’t care. He replied. When I heard this, I think my heart skipped a beat. Did I hear him correctly? I feel like my body is going numb. Because I was so excited inside to hear what he just said. I was able to stay as long as I want! I want to ask him, if  I can I stay here forever? I so badly wanted to say that to carter. But he wouldn’t’ allow it probably. Or maybe he will because, he loves me. Uggggg I’m just going to tell him what I really feel inside. “Carter do you think I could stay with you for the rest of my life?” I asked shyly. Carter just looks at me in a shocked face. I knew he wanted to say yes so badly! “Ummm sure I guess, that’s fine Maria.” Carter replied. “Thanks carter. Umm can you show me around the place again. Because I got lost and I didn’t know where you were going. Sorry about that!” I said shyly. Carter just laughs softly. “Come with me and I will show you around again” he said happily. I just rolled my eyes when he said it like that. Because I know he was annoyed with me right now having to show me around again. I was upset at myself because, I really wanted to tell carter that I heard what he was saying to Jack. But if I do. He will probably make up a story and just said he wasn’t really into me. Or he was just kidding about that. Man I have never really had a boyfriend before. Like I have guys that like me and all, but I’m never with them. Someday I need to get a man, but how do I get one? I don’t know how to be in a relationship. I can barely talk to my guy friends without being shy. Man I’m terrible at this stuff. I don’t think I will ever be in a relationship. Even if carter tried to be mine. I would fail really badly at it. As I follow carter around once again. I’m trying to figure out where everything is. I had a question pop in my  head. “So carter how am I supposed to get to school?” I ask. “Well we both go to the same school so I can just drive us there every day. If you would like, or there is a bus stop in my neighborhood.” He replied. “Well I do like your cars so I think I would like you to drive to school.” If that’s okay. I said. Carter looks at me with a small smile on his face. He replied “I’m totally fine with that, whatever works good for you Maria.” I look at carter and notice something different about him. He doesn’t look the same way when we saw each other in school today. Carter can you look at me please” I asked. Carter looks at me in a confusion look. “What’s up Maria?” You look different carter, once again you look different. Why is that?” Carter looks away like in confusion. “what do you mean maria, I have been the same way the whole time you first have saw me” He explained . “I don’t believe you carter, I notice something and I want to know about it right now. I just need to know this, are you a vampire?” I asked. Carters jaw just opened open wide. Then he just begins to laugh really hard “oh my god maria you’re really think I’m a vampire” carters chuckles. In my mind I was so confused….. Why did jack say to carter to not go overboard on being a vampire then….. I’m so confused. I just sigh and just walks away from carter. He sighs out of relief and I walk back up to him “why did you just sigh carter?” I asked. Carter didn’t answer but just walked away and patted my shoulder. I’m so confused on what’s going on, I need to know what he really is. Like I said he said he isn’t human, but is he a vampire? But I don’t know if I should believe that. But I think it’s true because, carter is sure hiding something from me. And jack did say he was a vampire so that proves my point. But why is he hiding it from me? Why will he not just tell me? It not like I’m going to be telling anyone about him not being human. So carter what is your plans with me staying at your house? “what do you mean Maria?” carter asked. “Well I mean did you let me stay at your place, it just odd that someone that I don’t really know will come up to me and ask me if I want to stay at their place for a couple nights.” I explain. Well maria, there are some thing I want to tell you but I wasn’t able to tell you them at school. When I heard this was like he is going to tell me he is a vampire. My heart started racing really fast. Alright carter then can you tell me what you couldn’t tell me at school then. Well maria there are a couple things and one of my friend are here and he is going to be hear what I’m going to say to you and he will answer all your questions. I was right he was going to tell me that he was a vampire. And let me guess that friend he is talking about is going to be Jack I guess. Maria can you follow me please. Carter starts walking away down the hall and opens a door. I follow behind him and I walk into he room and a guy is sitting in a chair by the window looking at me. He stands up, Welcome Maria, it’s a pleasure to meet you, I have heard a lot about you from carter. I look at carter and he doesn’t look at me. I’m jack, Carter’s friend. It’s nice to meet you jack. I sit down in a chair in a corner. Carter walks in and closes the door behind him and sits down in the other corner of the room in a chair. Shall we begin talking carter, the man said. Jack nodes and starts to speak. “So Maria I have heard that you’re a good student in school, am I right?” I node my head. “So can you please answer this one question for me Maria. Why do you think you’re here?”
