Kissing coffins6/21/2023 ![]() ![]() As much as Trevor tormented me and as pathetic as I thought he was, I felt a tinge of pity for him. He looked up at Matt, who sat down next to Becky. ![]() Just then Trevor walked onto the field with his soccer-snob groupies. "I can dress as one of the town's vampires and wear a cape." "And fangs!" I added. I'm sure Alexander would love to go." "And I'll be able to see what happens to Jenny," Becky said excitedly. Admission is half price if you wear a costume." "Cool! I've always wanted to see it on the big screen. "Yeah, that would rock." "But still, we should do something together." "How about going to the drive-in?" Matt asked, as he walked up the bleachers behind me. It would be nice to eat lunch as a foursome," Becky said at lunch on the baseball bleachers. And although they didn't high-five me in the hallway or invite me to their parties, I was actually given a cutter's privilege at the drinking fountain. I was still an outcast, but I think my classmates got a rise that Trevor had been dethroned from his kingdom. Classmates continued to bury their heads in textbooks and anticipate the next soccer game, while I doodled in my journal and couldn't wait for the next sunset. I couldn't concentrate in class, knowing I was privy to a secret world of vampires. I returned to Dullsville High a different person than when I had left-as if being the only goth in a conservative town hadn't made me different enough. As much as I hated going back to school after spring break, I knew at least my daylight hours brought a safe reprieve from Jagger. ![]()
