Vampire Manifesto Read Online Free PDF Page A

“I don’t normally approach random girls like this.”
    “ I’m sure you don’t.” I lied.
    “ But when I saw you laying there, I knew I had to stop and say, I don’t know, something.”
    Thank you God. Thank you God. Thank you God.
    “ Really?” I smiled. “Well what did you want to say Mr. Ethan Blackwood?”
    He smiled playfully. “I don’t know. I hadn’t really planned that far ahead.”
    We both laughed somewhat at his comment. I brushed my hair over my right ear. Not that it was in my way, but rather, that’s just what I do when I’m nervous.
    “ So are you from here?” I wanted to know everything about him. Everything! I was just so drawn to his presence. I’d never felt this way about a person I just met before.
    “ No, not really. I just moved here not that long ago.” Ethan was sitting Indian style in the sand. It looked extremely painful, but he seemed comfortable enough.
    “ Nobody from Florida is really from Florida, right? Did you live nearby?”
    He titled his head somewhat. His skin seemed flawless, perfectly smooth. Like something out of a magazine, like his features were almost airbrushed to perfection.
    “ Somewhere, far from here.” Was Ethan’s answer.
    “ Really? Far from here, huh? Cryptic much?” The mystery man with delicate features. Mom always warned me about guys like this.
    “ At times.” He said.
    “ Okay.”
    “ I’m sorry, I’m...I’m really not used to, personal interaction.”
    “ Uh huh.” I wasn’t exactly sure how to respond to that.
    “ With girls, I mean.” Ethan Blackwood added quickly.
    “ Oh. So you’re gay then?” Awesome Madison. Out of all the guys on the beach, you have to fall for the gay one!
    “ No, I’m not gay, just shy. I usually just keep to myself. But when I saw you, I knew I needed to know you.”
    “ Who’s the noob?” Aiden’s voice cut through the atmosphere like a knife.
    I glanced up just in time to see Abigail grab another Margarita out the cooler while Aiden, carrying the hugest brown paper bag full of comics, came to rest in is X-chair.
    “ Aiden, Abigail, this is my new friend, Ethan Blackwood.” I introduced him with a little bit more enthusiasm in my voice then I should have.
    “ Sup dude.” Said Aiden.
    “ Ooh, he’s really cute!” Flirted Abigail.
    “ Shut up and sit down.” Aiden responded.
    Ethan gave them a slight nod of recognition. “It’s a pleasure to meet the both of you.” He turned his attention back towards me. “I’m not intruding am I?”
    Before I could even reply, Abigail chimed in. “Of course not, Ethan. We were just going for a swim anyway. Aren’t we Aiden?”
    “ We were?” asked Aiden. “I thought you said...”
    Abigail squinted her eyes fiercely at him.
    “ Uh, yeah.” Aiden looked at me then Ethan. “Swimming. Word.”
    Abigail stood, waiting for Aiden to follow suit.
    “ Hey, were you able to get that, uh, Green Lantern you were going to get?” I asked.
    “ Oh did I!” Laughed Abigail.
    “ What?” Aiden seemed lost. “When did you buy Green Lantern comics? I wanna see! What issues did you get?”
    “ Aiden, shut up and come on.” Abigail said sarcastically. She grabbed his hand and started pulling him towards the ocean.
    “ Watch my comics; make sure they don’t get wet!” Aiden yelled out as Abby dragged him away.
    Neither of us spoke for a moment, simply staring into each other’s eyes. I’d never seen eyes like his before. Even in the sunlight, they seem to radiate somewhat, giving off a sparkle all of their own.
    “ You’ll never win.” I announced.
    “ Excuse me?”
    “ You haven’t blinked once.” I leaned closer to him. “I never blink. It’s a skill set I possess.”
    “ I didn’t know we were playing a game.”
    “ You didn’t know? Life itself is a game.” I declared. “It’s a time challenge and once you’re born, you’re already down to your last man.”
    Ethan came closer, yet still kept a respectable distance. “Then
