Middle schooler AJ has a crush on a girl in his class. But compared to some of the kids in his class, he feels very boring and he doesn't think she would be interested. When they are paired up in class, AJ knows this is his chance.  He knows she is obsessed with vampires and he decides to pretend to be one. He "borrows" his sister's make up to look paler. He tries on fangs left over from Halloween but they only fall apart. He learns about fake blood and starts putting it in his mouth. And it works. She thinks he is a vampire. But will things turn out like he thinks they will?
