Suck It Up by Brian Meehl

There are two types of Vampires, Loners and Leaguers. Morning McCobb is a leaguer which means he doesn’t need to subsist on human blood. He is graduating from the IVLeague which is the International Vampire League. Since he is a vampire, he will remain sixteen forever which means his life will be moving from city to city and high school to high school (the only place for a sixteen year old). Birnam has another idea. His idea is for the leaguers to “come out” and let the world know they’re vampires. He wants to use Morning as an experiment. This is how morning becomes involved with Penny, his new PR (public relations) person and her daughter Portia (coincidentally a teenager like Morning). Penny, and Portia, take Morning to various talk shows and let’s Morning prove himself as a vampire. This is when the troubles begin. Is Morning able to keep from drinking human blood and stick to his Blood Lite (protein type blood drink)? Is the country ready to acknowledge there are vampires living amongst the public? Will the Loners appreciate the Leaguers trying to “come out”?
