Lanie the Vampire by "Latin Angel"
My name is Lanie Cruz. I am a vampire. I am a very young vampire. Technically I am 40 years old. However I was turned my senior year of high school in 1987 when I was 17 years old. It would be cliche to say that becoming a vampire has changed my whole life. Of course, it has. My senior year, I was the band geek and the choir girl. I was in drama club and I was a majorette. I was a straight "A" student. I was also the subject of many cruel pranks and jokes.To put it mildly high school sucked.
I never had any great aspirations of going to college. I didn't even know what I wanted to be when I grew up. I thought about going into psychology because I had such a hard time relating to people my own age. I thought if I could understand the human mind maybe it would help. I guess I am what many mortals would call an "old soul". At the age of 17, I wanted more than anything to be liked, not necessarily popular. I always cared too much about what other people thought about me. My biggest goal in life was to be married and have children and now that dream will never be.
Since the 8th grade, I had a crush on the same boy. His name was Paul Dean. He was handsome and funny. He was popular but he wasn't like the others. No matter what anyone said to me or about me, he was actually my friend. He talked to me and he listened to me. I thought I was in love with him. I invited him to every one of my parties hoping he'd finally realize he liked me but somehow he always ended up with one of my friends. Then on my 16th birthday my parents gave me a sweet 16 party. I invited him because I always had before but, I had given up all hopes of being with him. That night he was different. He was attentive and followed me everywhere. We danced almost every dance. I was hoping this other boy I'd met in summer school would show up. He'd been writing to me and calling me. He said he wanted to be my first boyfriend. But, he never showed. I couldn't imagine what I had done wrong because the night before he was telling me that he had a special birthday present for me. I never even noticed Paul until he took my hand and led me to the dance floor for a slow dance. He pulled me close and leaned my head on his shoulder. He stroked my hair and suddenly I knew something had changed.
After a few seconds of swaying to the music, Paul whispered, "Happy Birthday, Lanie."
"Thank you, Paul." I said. He lifted my chin and made me look into his eyes and what I saw there took my breath away.
"He's not coming, Lanie." He said. "But, I'm here doesn't that count for anything?"
"Of course, it does." I assured him. "It means much more to me than you know."
"We've been friends a long time." Paul smiled. I nodded. "You told me once that you had feelings for me. Do you still?" I didn't know what to say to him. Of course, I still had feelings for him, my heart was beating so fast I knew he could feel it. But, I was afraid. I was afraid to admit my feelings so many other times when I told boys how I felt they laughed at me or ignored me. I didn't want any more rejections, especially not on my 16th birthday. I couldn't look him in the eyes. "I'm only asking because I have feelings for you." My heart stopped and I looked at him in complete disbelief. He smiled that smile that made my heart sigh.
"Paul, please I know I'm not the prettiest girl in school but please don't play with my feelings. Not you, I couldn't take it." I pleaded. He touched my cheek.
"I promise you that I am not playing with your feelings. You are the prettiest girl I know and I only came here tonight to be near you and to ask you to be my girlfriend."
"Really?" I asked. He nodded. "That's the best birthday present I could ever ask for. I would love to be your girlfriend." Before I could say anything else, he leaned in and gave me my first kiss. Paul Dean was my first love, my first boyfriend, my first kiss and the person who changed my whole life.
