give her that one for sure.”
“Listen, Lex. I’m not asking for anything that I haven’t willingly given you. I even told you every grueling detail of my first time for crying out loud. I don’t want to force you to tell me things. I want you to feel like you can tell me anything. I want you to want to tell me everything, not out of obligation, but because it’s great to share it with someone, no matter how stressful or embarrassing.”
“I get it. Because you’re not in this world yet, though, I don’t know how much is too much for you.”
“Nothing is too much when it comes to you, Lex. Remember when you showed up at Barnes & Noble looking completely different after only a week? I think I handled that pretty well after the initial shock.”
“You did, and you’re right. I’ve underestimated you. I’m sorry.”
“Wow! I finally dragged the apology out of you.” She smirked, sarcasm in her tone despite the truth of her words .
I smiled. “Do you have time to hear everything?”
“Eek! Of course I do.” She ran over to the sofa and bounced into place beside me, a big grin on her face. Her blue eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as she waited with anticipation. “Start dishing!”
I laughed. I hated not having a best friend. You always need at least one person who you can share everything with who doesn’t live with you. And as hesitant as I was before to openly share every aspect of my journey with Mel, I found it freeing to do so. There was no more weight on my shoulders, no more watching what I said, what I did, around her. She took everything in stride. And at the end of it all, she didn’t look at me with judgment in her eyes — she looked at me in amazement; a new respect blossomed between us then.
“So, you know what I did my last day as a human, now how do you want to spend yours?”
“I want Mexican food!”
“We are so sisters at heart.” I beamed, remembering the Mexican dish Kellan brought me the day of my transformation.
“Ooh! Do you think I’ll finally grow some boobs tonight?” She looked so hopeful.
“Um, I’m really not sure. I know my mom said that the transformation is really your body getting rid of anything that could slow you down. It removes all the toxins, balances all of your hormones, and melts away and expels any excess fat until you reach your ideal BMI. It’s about health, though, not beauty really. It’s funny because humans could be exactly like us, minus the whole blood thing, if they did everything right for their bodies with no cheats, or at least that’s what Dr. H. said.”
“I guess I could see that. I mean look at Olympic athletes. They’re crazy fast and ultra fit.” She pursed her lips, thinking about the subject. “But what about the senses?”
“He said there are vitamins and herbs they could take that would naturally enhance them.” I shrugged. “It doesn’t really matter. No human alive will ever do that from birth ’til death to test the theory, and even if they did, it wouldn’t impact us.”
“True.”
“Now, what else do you want to do today?”
“Oh, Lex! I’m so excited, but nervous. I mean, how did you deal with it all? On one hand, I can’t wait to finally be a part of the group, but on the other, I see what you’re going through and am scared shitless.” She gnawed at her lip, her hands fiddling in her lap as she peered at me expectantly.
“I’m not really dealing with it. I’d like to think I am, I tell myself I am, but really I’m just existing right now, just rolling with the punches, so to speak. Honestly, after my talk with Felipe, I’m really considering dropping out of high school and just getting my GED.”
“You know my dad gave me the same option?”
“What? When?” My eyes widened as I watched her. Her cheeks took on a pinkish color.
“Last night. He said he remembered his transformation and how hard it was to balance everything. When he got the invite to join the vamp army, he quit
