My Favorite Bite

Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered: Why does the sun shine so brightly? Distributing its light, freely, to both the just and the unjust, to the deserving and the same amount to the ungrateful? I remember the last time I saw the sun..., but before that let me tell you my life story.

My name was Erika Mina! I was a privileged young woman, no, I wasn't born rich, on the contrary, my mother was a cleaning lady at a wealthy college, and my father had been arrested years before for robbing a bank.

Even with this misfortune of birth, I managed to stand out from my friends. I was always up to date on fashion, from clothes to cosmetics. And girls like me like that do not get along well with others born to sweep the floor.

Speaking of the floor, from there I saw, and from there I fled. Thanks to my mother, she started working in an upper-class college. Only the rich in the city could work there, but thanks to the director, my mother's old school friend, he got me a place to study fashion design there.

God helps those who get their start early. There I was in my first year of school, with the best people in town, and I had over a million in my bank account.

Not having a lot of money in my bank account makes things more challenging, but like I said, I was a rich girl.

Preppy girls are the same all over the world, what changes is their purchasing power. This can be easily seen in the brands of clothes and accessories they wear.

Thanks to my natural beauty and my deep interest in fashion, I was able to get modeling jobs.

This allowed me to earn money by doing various advertisements, gain prestige among my classmates who saw me on websites, and receive several free designer clothes.

My first year of college was easy. My grades were high, I was popular. I was invited to the biggest parties and events. My life was paradise.

But all of that was about to change...

It all started in the bathroom! I was in the college bathroom putting on my lipstick after a horrible fashion history class in Transylvania... I was putting on my Lipstick. Bond No. 9 when Solane, an Asian college friend, decided to put hers on right next to me. She saw the mark of my lipstick and that was how my fate was sealed.

"Lipstick?! Your lips taste good!"

She was also a preppy diva.

"What's your name?" She asked me.

"Erika Mina!"

"Nice to meet you, Solane!"

She gave me her hand and I promised her.

Then she recognized me.

"Wait! I've seen you somewhere before, I saw your face in a store, right on the wall with jeans and no shirt, sitting on a bench with your arms crossed over your leg... I loved that stool, do you know where they sell it?"

"The stool was from the photography studio, it didn't have a brand."

"Oh! What a shame. So you study here?"

"Yes, I'm in my first year of Fashion Design."

"Hmm, that's cool, a fashion designer model. I think every fashion designer should be a model, that way the world would be more beautiful!"

I laughed at her stupid idea, while she looked at herself in the mirror, fixing her makeup. Then she smiled at me and left the bathroom until I noticed her presence still in the room, her perfume gave a nice atmosphere, she looked at me, with a strange smile, I thought she was going to ask to borrow my Lipstick, but she surprised me with a question:

"Are you already part of a Sorority?"

"No! None have invited me and I haven't found one that suits me."

"It's hard to find a sorority that is for girls of our level."

I smiled. Until she took a card out of her Chanel bag and gave it to me:

"When you're in your second year, you can join Pink Flavor Drop, our Sorority of Preppy Girls. Only those with style can join, and they can only join by invitation. Since I'm a senior, I can invite you."

"Cool! Where can I find you?"

"Meet us at the Pink Mansion, but only when you're in your second year."

She winked at me and left with an enigmatic smile. I looked at the card, it wasn't just any card, it was heavy, it was very shiny, nothing was written on it, just two pink drops in contrast to the bright pink of the card, pink on pink. Looking at the normal card they really looked like two drops, but when I turned it upside down, they turned into two canine teeth...

Vampire teeth!

That was the beginning of my journey into the dark world that awaited me.
