My Dear Vampire

My name is Ellie Young. Well-Elizabeth, technically. But only teachers and bullies ever called me that.



I've been to more schools than I can count-new girl, same script. Everyone makes fun of me. My clothes. My body. My name. It's like I've got a target painted on my back that only bullies can see.



But Ravensville? Ravensville is supposed to be different.



Before I started my new school, I told my parents I wanted a car-or I'd kill myself. I was bluffing. Mostly. But guess what? It worked. They got me a 718 Cayman Porsche.



I'm turning sixteen next month. I don't have a boyfriend. I don't even have a real friend. I thought being pretty and cool would fix everything. New school, new hair, new body, new attitude. I thought popularity would get me noticed. Get me loved.



But I'm still invisible.



Still a virgin.



Still waiting for the part where everything changes.



At Ravensville High, everyone worships one person: Xanders. The jock. The god. The walking ego in designer shoes. They all love him. I don't.



He used to bully me in third grade-called me fat, compared my hair to Queen Elizabeth's wig, made me cry more times than I can remember. But I've changed. A lot. He doesn't even recognize me now.



He doesn't know who I am.



And I'm not sure I want him to.



Ravensville was supposed to be a fresh start. A chance to rewrite my story. Maybe even have an adventure.



But instead... I think I'm about to get caught in someone else's.



And I'm not just going to lose my virginity.



I might lose myself.
