So I told them, it’s obvious you know who I am. I’m Benjamin
Franklin Grace *It used to be Morgan, but I’m adopted.*, but you can call me
Benny. I love long walks on the beach, sunsets, and all that crap. I have blue
eyes, blonde hair (But it’s originally brown.), I’m 5.’5”, and I have glasses
(Without anyone knowing). I have 9 siblings and 10 cousins. The sets of twins
are Ethan and I, Kathy and Eve, Derrek and Brandon.
The whole family is me, Ethan, Kathy, Eve, Emma, Derrek, Matthew,
Carter, Mat, and Brandon. My cousins are Peter, Arthur, Mary,
Allison, Travis, Bailey, Sarah, Taylor, Lexi, and Felix. Their twins are Peter
and Arthur, Allison and Travis, Taylor and Lexi. I know what you are thinking,
whoa you have a lot of family members but why so much? Well I’m glad you asked,
See its legacy for the Knight family (Knight is my mother’s maiden name) to
have 10 children, every descendant from the Knight family has to have 10 no
more no less. So let the story continue. Where did Johnny leave off? Oh yeah, I
had just told him and Michael I was a vampire and he just stared at me blankly,
“You’re a what?” he asked. I looked at him and repeated, “I’m a vampire.”
Johnny looked like he needed some space to have all of this sink in. “I’ll give
you two a minute.” I said. So I left them alone, but the thing is, they didn’t
know I could hear them, so this is what they were saying. “This can’t be true
right? He-He’s pulling a prank on us from making fun of his hair.” Stuttered
Michael. I could hear Johnny’s head shake. “No, he said he was over that and
admitted he looked like a nerd.” Said Johnny. I snickered. “S-So we have been
friends with a vampire this entire time?” asked Michael. Johnny nodded, “I
guess so.” Johnny answered and sighed, “Benny, you can come back.” I walked
back in the room slowly, making sure they really were ready to see me after
their “Private” talk. I took a deep breath. “So, do you guys want to continue
being my friend or go our separate ways?” I asked, hoping for the best.  Johnny took a step forward and sighed.
‘Oh-no, we’re going to stop being friends.’ I thought. Johnny put his hand on
my shoulder. “I don’t care if you are different, I’m always going to be your
friend.” Johnny said and hugged me. After he hugged me, I looked toward Michael
staring off into the distance. Then, he looked at me and Johnny. “If Johnny’s
in, I’m in.” Michael gagged. I laughed. “So the friendship continues.” I snickered,
and we group hugged.

A few hours later, Mikey all of a sudden had to leave. “L-Look
I’ll be back t-tomorrow, I just have to get going. Its taco Tuesday at home and
I don’t want to be l-late.” Mikey stuttered and ran off. “Mikey seemed
different after he learned you were a vampire.” Johnny noted, “hey can I spend
the night?” I looked over at Johnny, “Sure, but you will be in a house of
fourteen vampires” I commented. Johnny looked over at me with a sarcastic face
then went home to get some more stuff to use overnight like clothes and (just
in case) Jennifer to entertain us with non-boring facts about her dad and life
before she knew she had any cousins or an aunt, so we made a game called,
“Share time Jennifer O’Reily, Johnathan Andrew Walker, and Benjamin Franklin
Morgan.” (Please note that we started this when we were 5 so…).  “So who’s going first for ‘share time’?” I
asked. Jennifer raised her hand. Beautiful Jennifer, light brown hair and eyes
that sparkle when she faces the sun, or at least that’s what I think, I’ve had
a crush on her ever since I laid eyes on her, and even though she’s younger
than Johnny and I, she’s taller than Johnny and he’s 5.9… I think. “Ok, uh,
today I’m going to share a story about my mother.” Jennifer muttered under her
breath. Johnny and I gasped. Never, not even once has Jennifer shared a story
about her mother, it would always be about what her brother Dylan and her dad
Tyler would do, but her mother? Heck, Johnny and I don’t even know her name! My
mind just went to, ‘Who is she and what has she done with my beloved Jennifer.’
Jennifer coughed and began her story of the night. “It was a night like this
but it was raining like hail, I went to take out the garbage when I came back,
I had to do the dishes, so I did the dishes and as I was doing the dishes my
mother came into the room and saw what I was doing. She turned to my brother
and said ‘Dylan! How many times must I tell you! Your sister cannot do your
chores! Especially in this rain! ’ and she stormed off to get me a towel. My
mom was the best. I really miss her.” Jennifer moped. I went to Jennifer and
gave her a big hug. She told me that if she ever did talk about her mother, hug
her right away to feel better. “Her name was Abigail, she was called Abby for
short, she had long brown hair like me, blue glittering eyes, that’s where
Dylan got his eyes from and she always wanted to be a painter. Seriously she
LOVED art, but I liked books so we didn’t really see eye to eye on our
passions.” Jennifer said calmly, “I-I’m ok.” I released her from my grasp and
let her take a step forward. “You sure you’re ok?” I asked. Jennifer nodded.
“Hey Jennifer? Can you give Benny and I a minute?” Johnny asked. Jennifer
nodded again and left the room. “I’m going to have to tell Jennifer about you.”
Johnny said. I sighed, “It’s best if I tell her.” And walked off to tell her.
“Hey Jennifer? Can I talk to you?” I asked and she nodded as I sat next to her.
“Look there’s something I’ve been hiding for a while, can I trust you with this
secret?” I asked. Jennifer laughed. “Benny honestly, have you heard me make a
peep of your little nightmare about marshmallows ruling the world.” Jennifer
asked. ‘Point taken’ I thought. “Well, just promise me we won’t stop being
friends.” I said. “I promise I will not stop being your acquaintance.” Jennifer
promised. I took the deepest breath ever made. “I’m… a… vampire.” I said.
Jennifer had a look of terror on her face but slowly, it turned back into
calmness and she hugged me. I had a feeling of shock run through my body. ‘She
didn’t scream or anything. Something’s got to be wrong.’ I thought to myself. I
hugged Jennifer back to savor the moment. “Jennifer? Are you ok?” I asked. “No,
I just figured out that one of my friends is a thing that I study for fun.”
Jennifer said. “Oh.” I said trying to break the awkwardness. Jennifer retracted
from my hug, “Does Johnny know?” Jennifer asked. I froze, then feeling guilty,
nodded yes.
