At First Bite (2011)
“I jot down costume ideas in my notebook, and observe Paige and her friends in the classes we share. Aside from murmurs of “Rash-lee,” followed by snickers in my direction, the glowing group basically acts like I don’t exist.
I, in turn, ignore Sasha, Marc, and Gordon, not wanting to be poisoned by their unpopularity. During lunch, I hide out in the library, where I can drink my Sanga! in private.
It’s a lonely existence. I walk the halls with my head down and a lump in my throat, feeling invisi...ble. Occasionally, I’ll text with Eve and Mallory, letting them know how busy I am with new friends and after-school activities. They seem to buy my lies. Dylan, meanwhile, is actually living the life I describe — joining a skateboarding club and always racing to answer his buzzing phone — which makes the whole thing more painful.
The Dark Ones weigh on my mind, too. There are no more screams or attacks, but everyone seems on edge after what happened to Mr. Bernal. On Wednesday, the principal makes an announcement that the janitor is “taking a leave of absence and will be out for the remainder of the school year.”MoreLess

One of my childhood favorites. Looking back, I never really liked the MC in the beginning but I feel like she has a pretty realistic personality.Write Review:
