Top Secret

When my teacher in Kindergarten asked our class what we want to be when we grow up, I answered that I want to be a vampire. My classmates inched away and I later overheard my teacher saying something about me, I am an odd one. And as my parents began to have a family, they rented an apartment filled with 3D glow-in-the-dark flower posters and orange tubes with a Play Doh in it and can move on its own called lava lamps. Yes, they were cool. Then my mom got pregnant and eventually gave birth to a Nerd Boy named “Billy” and all the movie nights watching Dracula, Dark Shadows and Batman, were gone.

I am left alone with the Dracula on TV. Even if I got older enough, I am still obsessed with being a vampire. I wear gothic clothes and blank trinkets. I am a Goth girl and I consider myself not belonging to Dullsville – the town where we live. The mansion above the Benson Hill that can be seen from my bedroom window is one of the places I wished I come home to – daunted and spooky.

As rumors are spreading, one inhabitant is occupying the mansion which was empty for years. As intriguer as I am, I went to the mansion to find out the truth about the inhabitant by the name of Alexander Sterling. It was Halloween when my best friend Becky and I tried but, at first, failed. When Trevor, my kindergarten nemesis, and his friend arrived at the hill and are about to ruin the most beautiful place in Dullsville by vandalizing but then I was dressed as a tennis player so I raised my tennis racket and tried to smack it in the paint-filled cylinder but I lost my grip and threw the racket through the air and that without knowing, I hit him hard on his hand that made him crouch.

As loud as his shout is, the teenage boy from the mansion opened the door and I saw him – long black hair, dark and dreamy eyes, pale face. He was a knight in the night. I loved him the moment he opened the two-door door, slowly and then altogether. I am obsessed to be kissed by a pale face as that of a vampire. I am Raven Madison and I intend to be the raven crow of Alexander Sterling through eternity.
