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

I didn’t really know what to say, so I just sat there quietly and trying to figure out why I’m here. I’m honestly not sure Jack. Well is it because of carter asking you to stay at his places a couple days? Well yes, he came up to me at my science class. And wanted to talk to me and that’s when he told me he wanted to talk to me after school. And I’m not that kind of person to really say no to someone. Carter leans in and looks at Jack. Jack looks at Carter. Well how did you meet Carter. Well we started talking in my study skills class. I was running late and so I just sat down at a table and didn’t really do much and carter started talking to me. Jack just nodes his head and still is looking at Carter. So Maria did you realizes anything different when you kept seeing Carter throughout the day? I look at Carter and is kinda scared to say yes, because idk what’s going to happen if I say yes. I put my head down and just say yes. I put my head up right away when I said that and sees carter not looking at me but at Jack. My leg starts to shake a little bit, and then Jack turns back to me. What did you see different about Carter. Well each time I saw him his eyes are different color you can say, first time I saw him it was like almost golden color, then the next time I saw them, they were light brown, and now when I see him, they are almost back to golden again. Jack nodes his head and looks at carter and carter looks back and jack. Ah I see what your talking about now. Now carter would you like to explain why your eyes do that? Carter nodes his head and starts to speak. Well I have a iron problem in my blod, when I have too much up it my eyes turn golden and when I don’t have a lot my eyes are my normal color. When he said this I could sense some fear coming off of him while he said this. I could tell this wasn’t easy for either of us. He puts his head down. I look at jack and jack looks at me. Do you understand about the eyes now Maria? Yes I do jack, thanks for telling me. He nodes his head, and carter has is hands in a ball. I look at Carter, Are you okay Carter you seem upset. Jack looks at me in like annoyed look. Carter grabs my hand. I need to tell you this, and jack please don’t say any words when I’m telling this to her do you understand. Carter looks at him in a mean way. Jack nodes his head and sits back in his chair and stays quiet. I look at carter, he looks at me. I know you can sense that I’m hiding something from you and your right I sure am but I need to you not tell anyone about this, Because if you do that can ruin my life and jacks life, and everyone else like us. I node my head yes, and carter looks straight at me. Then his eyes change color and then his hair,  and then his mouth changes. He k nine teeth start getting sharper and longer, and his eyes turn bright golden. And his hair is black and has red strikes in it. I just sit there in a amazement. And carter looks at me and I look at him. Maria I’m a vampire, I’m dangerous and you better watch it being around me, I drink blood. That how I stay alive. I smiles. I could sense something was up. And just saying both of you guys are kinda bad at keeping your conversation private. Jack and carter just look at each other. What do you mean in private. Well I heard you two talking. And so I already knew you were something form the very start, because you did say your not human. And you were can’t very strange around me during school so that another thing that gave it away. Carter look at me in shock. So you knew this whole time. I shake my head no, no this whole time but the clues you gave me helped me figure it out. And one more thing I just saying this I heard your whole conversation. Carter’s face turns red and jack puts his head down. I giggles when they did that. They just look at him embarrassed. So I need to ask you this carter, are you really wanting to be with me? Carter looks at me and looks to the side. Well yeah, I have never meet anyone like you before, and you’re the actually first person that knows what I really am. Well thank you for all those things you said about me. I like you to Carter. To be honest I have never been in a relationship before. I put my head down when I said that. Carter looks at me and smiles. Well don’t worry, I will take good care of you Maria. I smiles and I look at jack and he looks at me. Well Jack what’s your deal with carter. Carter looks at me and then Jack, well I’m carters big brother.  I look at carter and carter nodes his head yes. Well that’s very cool. So Maria do you have sisters or brothers? No I don’t have any family siblings. Carter nodes his head. So carter why are you going to school? Aren’t you scared that someone will find out? Well so my mother made up a excuse and told the nurse I have an iron problem and so everyone believe me about that, so we are good about that. But why did you just start going at are school. Well I haven’t been just started going at are school. I have been going through for the same time as you have been going but you just haven’t seen me around that place that why. I see so we are dating now right? I blushes when I said that. Carter just chuckles and nodes his head yes, yeah I think so if you want to really. I smiles, yeah sure we can date. I’m fine with that but I’m new for all of this, so please go easy on me. Of course I will go easy on you, why wouldn’t I? I giggles. Okay carter. So what now. Jack looks at me and then looks at carter, then he stand up and walks out of the door and close the door behind us. I look at Carter, well I think he wants us to have alone time together. I think so to Maria. So carter tell me more about being a vampire, do you drink human blood? Well no, that depends on how hungry I am but normally I feed on animals blood. I node my head, so if you were very hungry now would you drink my blood? Carter shakes his head no, I can’t do that because if I do that can make you a vampire to, but let not get into that part just yet, you a lot to learn from me being a vampire Maria.

I just standing there trying to just take everything in. So carter is a vampire. And is Matthew a vampire to? I wonder……So Carter is Matthew a vampire? Carter just looks at me and just laughs softly. Nope he is human. So don’t worry about him. He is safe.  I smile. So Matthew umm do you live here or you have your own place? Well actually I kinda live here but at the same time not. Because I live in apartment and soon I might be moving into Carters place, because I hate paying rent. Oh I see, and is carter okay with that? Matthew looks at Carter and Carter looks back at him. Carter shakes his head no. And Matthew explodes at him. WHAT. WHY NOT. You know I don’t have a good place to stay at Carter. Carter just laughs. Well you need to learn how to get a good enough job for you to get money like me. Matthew just roles his eyes. Yeah but you had a lot of money in the first place. So why can’t you just help me out here. I’m not going to stay long. I just need to get out of that place. Carter just sighs, still Matthew you need to get a better job then if you want to have your own house. Matthew gets really mad and balls his hands up in a fist. LOOK. I’M TRYING OKAY. JUST GIVE ME SOME HELP HEER EPLEASE. Then Matthew walks away and goes into a room and slams the door behind him. I look at carter and he just shakes his head and walks away. I turn back and look at the door Matthew went through.  I walk to the room that Matthew is in and I knock on the door. Matthew screams GO AWAY YOU BITCH. I said its Maria. And he opens the door. Oh sorry about that. I thought you were Carter. I shake my head no. May I come in? I want to talk to you for a little bit. He steps to the side and I walk in. The room he is in is extremely big. I look around in shock. There is a really big bed against the wall. And there is a big desk by a big window. The sun is shining through the window and Matthew sits in the chair at the desk. and he tells me sit where ever you want. I really don’t care. I sit down on the bed and the bed is so soft. I just sink into the mattress . I smile, and I look down at the floor. So Matthew. I know you and Carter aren’t on the same page. I’m sorry. Oh don’t be sorry that is how brothers are. They aren’t really supposed to get along. I just laugh. Yeah your right. But still I do understand where you’re coming from. Yeah Carter just doesn’t understand what’s it like to live in apartment. He has always lived in this big house. This is from his parents and they gave it to him. But he isn’t willing to share it at all. Yeah I don’t understand why Carter isn’t wanting to share this really big house with you. Like there is so much room for you here. Yeah your so right but at the same time carter wants to keep this house really clean and he is worries that I will get it dirty. I just roll my eyes. Oh please if you get it dirty you can clean it. Yeah but Carter has a problem where if something is dirty, he will flip out and go into a meltdown about it.  And he doesn’t use
