I took a shower, got dressed, and ate breakfast before heading off to school. I have PE class 5th period, so I had to wait pretty much all day to see ...er. But boy was it worth waiting. I finally arrived at PE class rushing to change into my gym clothes so I could see her. The moment came where my class all sat down in roll call order and the teacher did attendance. To everyone's dismay, the teacher said we were doing a 10 lap run around the school. He said after each lap, tell your number to. "Come on honey, let's get in line for Santa," she said. Soon, we were in the queue. Mom told me she would meet me at the end of the line after I had finished. I suppose she went to shop for gifts, but I was so overwhelmed with joy at having privacy, I didn't think about that. I just kept repeating to myself the message that I wanted to give to Santa. Three years earlier, the first time my parents had taken me to visit Santa, I had cried when I had been placed on his lap. Who was this strange. That night Peggy, Holly, and Linda came home with me and we sat out in the back yard drinking soda and talking. And 10 minutes after that Mandy arrived and gave her girlfriend a big kiss and joined us. Peggy had no idea about the fight Keith and Holly had the night before the concert, so honestly thought nothing of Keith giving Michelle a ride home. Since he had gotten a car that was actually fairly normal for him to give others rides.“Oh, can you all come with me on Saturday? I got my license. Might as well get it out in the open."Yes, a vampire," she replied. She went on to explain a bit about her history. She never told me the circumstances of her turning, that is a subject that vampires rarely share with each other. But I found out that the Emperor, and his predecessors were aware of her nature. She remained loyal to the Throne and they to her.For some time the only result that I could tell of our mutual discovery was that Ling pushed me harder and longer than any human could have.
