I'm gonna leave the past behind and start with a clean slate.
A brand new beginning.

All that is going through your head?
Well, a few other things, but that's most of it.
What was high school like for you, Mom?
It was exciting.
A little scary.
Everyone but me knew who they were.
I, uh, I met a boy.
Dad? No.
Mom!
Uh, but mostly I just started to think about
what I wanted in life.
Who I wanted to be.
That's what I'm gonna do.
Except the boy part. Not interested.

Why not?
We're more powerful and way more fun than human.
True on both counts. We're of nature.
We're necessary.
Humans still have a long way to go. What about you?

Another chapter of Leanna Live wrapping up my first day
of high school.
And I must tell my followers that honestly,
I am crushing it.
They love me here, and why not?
I'm setting fashion trends. Love the hat.
And I'm excelling in all my classes.
I've joined the cooking club, the Get Out and Vote club,
and, obvs, my favourite, the debate club.
'Cause, really, who is going to argue with this?
[whooshing]
Ugh!
Not inside, Carmie.
So, let's see it.
What took you so long?
I'm trying to ease up on the flying because
my landings have been brutal lately.
You need to compensate for getting stronger.
Really? You're still keeping all the Blended facts to yourself?
my intelligent, creative, Come on, let's see what
best friend has accomplished. and incredibly secret
You are correct on all points.
Let me present to you
the first comic from the artist "Kev, just Kev."
"Carmela: Half Vamp, Half Human."
Book one. "I Don't Bite Yet."
How sick is this?
Are you kidding me?
You wrote a comic about me?
What? No way!
Not at all.
Kev, you've finished it! Oh my, word!
This is brilliant! Thank you.
Congratulations! Thank you.
You did this all by yourself? Mm-hmm.
[scoffs] Oh
How do you come up with this stuff?
Hello? Wow
the similarities? You don't see
To who?
[both] No.
[Collector] Oh, is it, um Uh-uh.
I don't [Kev] No.
Good work, my boy. Good work.
[Madison] Track team? Yeah.
I should be able to do something on that team.
You have super speed, can fly,
and have ten times the strength of kids your age.
Girl, you can be an Olympian.
No, I'm not using my powers. That wouldn't be fair.
You know, one day we won't have to hold ourselves back
to fit in with humans.
One day, but not today.
Meet anyone cute?
You sound like my mother.
[giggling] Not really.
"Not really" means yes. Who?
Don't lie, your fangs are showing.
[giggling]
[Dylan] Where's Kev?
I'm debating if I'm speaking to him or not,
we needed a time out. so I told him
You spoke to him to tell him you're not speaking to him?
How else would he know?
And you should definitely ask somebody before
you put their entire life on blast.
Even if it is about you, which it's not,
it only covered the entire year.
Detail.
But he totally exposed me as a Blended
to anyone who reads the comics. Don't worry.
Who's gonna believe it except other hunters,
Blendeds, Mythics, The Shapeshifter.
I get it.
So, that happened on my first day.
What about you? Complicated.
I decided to expand my world, meet new people,
so I joined the computer club. try new things,
Wouldn't have called that, but okay.
Yeah, it was going really well.
I was playing Medieval Mayhem, battling for the castle,
fighting wizards.
Yeah, it was. So, good?
Until I heard a voice behind me yell out
It's gonna crush you! [girl]
So I went into action. [Dylan]
[grunting]
[electricity zaps] [panting]
may not be the best fit for me. [Dylan] They told me computers
[Carmie] I agree.
Too techy.
Maybe try something more from the heart.
