The Sweet Taste of Blood (Vol. 1)

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Adrian is a 20 year old college senior in California. He isn’t exactly the most popular guy in school, but he is definitely one of the most coveted guys. He doesn’t talk much to anyone, and has only a few select friends whom he meets only in school. Good grades, good reputation, he’s the perfect blend of mysterious and sexy. One day, there’s a new junior transfer from Canada, named Stella. The only reason he notices her is that she bumps right into him on her way to class. She refuses to take help from anyone, and does her best to maintain a low profile. Adrian doesn’t understand why, but he is extremely drawn to her. This attraction is exacerbated further by the fact that she doesn’t respond to him at all, but merely shuns him and even ignores him. During the upcoming Senior-Junior dance, by a stroke of luck they get paired together for a dance recital they both put their names in for. After a lot of persuading, Stella finally lets her walls down and speaks to Adrian. After the dance, he tries to propose to her but she seems shocked and says no, even though she loves him, leaving him heartbroken.
