“Choose! Will you risk your powers and dignity or pick a mere human?” Squeezing Jimin’s hand tight. Legs shaking, having to decided your fate. “I choose… I choose…”

I was sitting at home with Jimin watching movies. ‘Do they really think that vampires burn in the sun?’ We both start laughing. Me and Jimin have been best friends since we were five. We went to nursery together but when I was eight, my parents left me and Jimin’s parents took me in. I’ve been living with him for twelve years. When I first moved in I was human but me and Jimin went to a house-party and we were both drunk and Jimin ran across the road but didn’t see the car, so I panicked and pushed him out of the way and that’s how I died. Obviously Jimin wouldn’t let that happen and bit me, turning me into a vampire. He always thinks that I hate him for it and always feels guilty but I don’t blame him for it. At first, I hated having to kill innocent people but now I only drink animal blood. It doesn’t taste as good as human blood but there is no other option.

Me and Jimin go to the same high school but we only talk to each other. Like any other day I get up and get dressed. It’s the first day of school and we are finally going into senior year. I open my door and go into Jimin’s room and jump on him. ‘Good morning sleepy head.’ He was just grunting because I landed on his stomach. ‘How have you got so much energy.’ He said with his eyes still shut. ‘Get up or we will be late!’ I leave him to get dressed and go downstairs. I open the fridge and get out a packet of blood and sit on the sofa, watching T.V. Then I start hearing Jimin crashing into the walls as he comes down the stair. ‘Ah, it’s so nice of you to join us today.’ I say in a sarcastic voice. He gives me a smirk and opens the door. I pass him a flask with blood in it because we can’t eat anything at school and he will get hungry. ‘Thanks.’ So, we get in the car and go to school. Jimin’s parents are at work, so we don’t see them in the mornings.

Jimin pulls into a parking space and we get out. We enter the school and everyone looks at us, then goes back to gossiping about people. Jimin is one of the hottest guys in the school and only hangs out with me, so all the girls hate me. I don’t blame them, Jimin is handsome. We sit at a joined table and lessons start. After class we go to lunch and get some food, because people will get suspicious if we never eat anything. We pick up a few apples and other fruit but they all taste like gone off food. After school I’m walking with Jimin and a girl comes up to him and starts to scream at him. ‘WHY WOULD YOU PICK THIS FREAK AS YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND NOT ME!’ This happens all the time. People calling me ugly because I am “going out” with Jimin. We just walk straight passed her but she grabs my hand, but quickly let go as my hand is ice cold. ‘You’re a monster!’ she shouted at me. Jimin saw that I was upset by her comment and pushed her away from me and we left. For most of the car journey it was dead silent. ‘Am I a monster?’ I asked Jimin.
