BLUE BLOODS

Pg. 72-79
At the funeral, Bliss was extremely uncomfortable. She doesnt like funerals because she hate the thought of a dead body in the casket. Aggie's casket was closed, but Bliss still couldnt stand to sit there. She decided to sneak out and when she made eye contact with Mimi she mouthed "bathroom" but when she got to the door, she noticed Dylan ward was sneaking out too. Dylan and Bliss decided to skip together. They went to the museum and ended up kissing. Bliss said she felt the world go gray and then it was as if she was in the desert. She could taste the sand and feel the heat. Then suddenly, she began to scream.
>>Is Dylan a vampire? What happened to Bliss?

Pg. 80-88
Schuyler went to the doctor because the veins in her arms were really visible. Worse than it should be. Dr. Pat seemed to know exactly what it was. She asked questions and Schuyler answered. Pat asked, "Do you get dizzy and forget where you are or where you've been?" Schuyler answered, "Yes."
"How old are you?"
"15."
"And no flashback memories yet? Hmm."
"What?"
Dr. Pat explained she was right on time and she had some cream for the veins. She also told Schuyler that they would see each other again in the spring. Schuyler asked what would happen between now and spring but the doctor wouldnt say another word.
Mimi shops ALL the time. She shops when she is happy or depressed. While she was trying on a dress, she decided to flirt with a guy in the store. She came out of the dressing room and asked the guy to zip up her dress. They end up leaving the store together and get in his yellow Lamborghini. As he rests his hand on the back of the passenger seat he puts his hand on her shoulder, but Mimi takes his hand and places it on her breast. She says she could almost smell his blood. The rich taste that made her mouth water.
>>I'm starting to think that maybe Mimi and Jack are vampires... IDK
Pg. 89-95
Bliss went to Dr. Pat too. She had to talk to someone about what happened at the museum with Dylan. If she told her parents they would say she was insane. Dr. Pat asked what happen and Bliss told her that she was there with Dylan, then the kissed and the second that their lips touched she must have blacked out because the next thing she remembered was walking down the American wing and looking at furnature. Bliss also explained that she didnt scream, but she could hear someone scream. Someone far away. Dr. Pat said that this was normal. She told Bliss that she had nothing to worry about and that she should go home and not give it another thought. Later that night, Bliss woke up and was really hungry. She went to the kitchen and opened the fridge, but the fruit and yogurt didnt sound very good. She found a pound of raw hamburger and ate that. "What are you doing?!?" asked Jordan. With blood dripping down her chin, Bliss stared at her. BobiAnne was standing in the corner and told Jordan to go to bed and not worry about what Bliss was doing. Bliss whipped her chin and looked at her step mother. BobiAnne said there was some filet mignons too. Bliss stood there and thought about it for a minute. How was this nomal? What did Dr. Pat mean by this is nothing to worry about? she thought. Bliss then found a packet of steaks and ate them too.
>>What is going on?!?!?! Raw meat? Bliss must know that Dr. Pat is insane. Everyone should know that eating raw meat is wrong. Something is going on and everyone seems blind. They dont see it.
Pg. 96-102
The next day at school, all the kids were called to the chapel, but not because of another death. It was a career talk. Schuyler slept through the whole thing, but there was a model there. Linda Farnsworth was asking kids to walk up and down the hallway and then she would inspect them and if they were good enough she would take their names and try to find a gig for them. Mimi and Bliss got it. Then the bell rang for the next class to start and as Schuyler was walking out of the chapel, Linda stopped her and asked if she could get her number because she thought that Schuyler had a pretty face and could pass as a model. Schuyler didnt really accept it, but she didnt decline it either. After that, Schuyler went to art. She was working on a sculpture and in between brushstrokes she looked up and saw Jack Force. He was leaning over another girl's shoulder. Schuyler decided he had gotten another girlfriend so she pushed Jack Force out of her thought for good.
>>I think Schuyler is trying to convice herself that she doesnt have feelings for Jack. She can try all she wants but sooner or later she will realize that you cant lie to your heart.
Pg. 103-108
The only thing Bliss could think about was Dylan. She looked up from her art project and watched Dylan flick mud at Schuyler and Oliver. After class, they had to go down the stairs in a single file line because it was so narrow. Bliss ended up right next to Dylan. She said hi and he motioned for her to go ahead of him. She kind of hesitated for a minute to see if he would say anything, but she found herself going down the stairs alone because Dylan was waiting for Schuyler and Oliver. During lunch Bliss was going to get her books for her next class, but she stopped and asked Schuyler about Dylan. She asked if he had said anything about her or if he liked her. Schuyler said Dylan would probably like to go to the dance with her. Bliss smiled and got all giggly. She wrote a note to Dylan asking him to the dance and slipped it in his locker. She was surprised she had to try to get this guy's attention. She usually got pretty much any guy she looked at.
>>I wonder what will happen between Bliss and Dylan. Does he like her or is he just really friendly?
Pg. 109-116
Schuyler and Oliver were sitting in Oliver's room doing nothing, when Schuyler made a comment about Dylan going to the dance. At that moment Oliver burst out, "Let's go too. You and me." Schuyler didnt like the idea, but decided to go anyway. When they got there, they found Dylan and Bliss together, but left them alone and went to find something to eat. They were standing alone, in their own little corner. They realized that nobody cared if they were there or not. They decided to go to The Bank because that club had better music. While walking out the door, Schuyler noticed Jack Force. She sucked in a deep breath and tried not to look at him, but he said, "Leaving so soon?" Oliver explained that they were going to The Bank. Jack said why dont you stay. You might have fun. Schuyler told Oliver she would meet up with him later. Oliver went to get a drink and Schuyler walked to the dance floor with Jack. When she was with Jack, everyone noticed her. They began dancing and she could feel the sweat beads forming under his shirt.
>>I knew Schuyler wouldnt be able to push Jack out of her mind. She cant hide her feelings from herself. Its impossible.
Pg. 117-125
Mimi was waiting for her date to arrive so she could go to the dance. She was going with the Italian guy she met in the clothes store. When he finally got there, she said she was driving, and they headed for the school. Mimi got there and saw Bliss making out with Dylan and was upset. Mimi took Bliss to the bathroom and asked her why she was with Dylan of all people. She said Bliss could have any guy she wanted and she chose him. She didnt get it. Bliss asked why the Italian guy followed them in the girls bathroom, but Mimi said she would deal with that later.
While this is going on, Schuyler and Jack are still dancing. As they dance, the room changes. Its still the same room, but its about 100 years earlier. Jack isnt in the tan pants and blue blazer, but he was in a tux. When they stopped dancing, the room went back to normal, and Jack was in his same clothes. Schuyler asked if he saw it too and he said he did. All of a sudden, they heard a scream and Aggie's death entered both of their minds. In the bathroom, Mimi's date had passed out and a girl had screamed because the color was drained from his face. Jack walked in and started lecturing Mimi. Schuyler heard a few words he spoke. "....stepped over the line.......you could have killed him......" Schuyler, Dylan and Bliss decided this was a good time to leave. Jack didnt even notice Schuyler had left, he was too busy talking to Mimi.
>>I wonder... did Mimi attack the Italian guy?
Pg. 126-131
Schuyler goes to the hospital every Sunday. She goes to read to her mother. Her mother has been in a coma for most of Schuyler's life. 10 years have gone by and they doctors say she could wake up any moment. Schuyler goes to her mother's room and looks in the window. There is a man, but when Schuyler takes a second look the man is gone. He is no where to be found. Schuyler begins to read the weddings and celebrations section of the newspaper. She thinks her mother likes that part best. As she reads, she looks for any sign of movement, but nothing happens. She takes her mother's hand and begins to cry.
>>I think it very good that Schuyler goes to see her mother every Sunday. Some people would think well she isnt responding so why would I want to go sit there? Its pointless.
Pg. 132-136
Monday at school, Schuyler was ignored by Jack- like usual and Oliver wasnt talking to her. He was upset about Friday at the dance. Schuyler had spent most of the night with Jack. Oliver was upset because Schuyler was changing as a person. He said he didnt even know who she was anymore. She was joining the "Committee" and she never used to think about that kind of stuff. Schuyler decided she would go to one Committee meeting because her grandmother wanted her to, then she would drop it. No big deal.
>>I have a feeling that something is going to happen and Schuyler will not be able to drop the Committee meetings. This story is really good. I like it a lot
