''Vampire High'' is a novel written by Douglas Rees in 2003. It was followed by the novel ''Vampire High: Sophomore Year'' in 2010.

Cody Elliot is doing terribly in school; straight F's. His lawyer dad is sick of it, so Cody is forced to attend an alternative high school called Vlad Dracul Magnet School. His new classmates are creepy; they all wear sunglasses in winter, have pale skin and jet black hair, and they're all [[SuperIntelligence super smart]]. One kid shows Cody his fangs, and it becomes clear that all of his classmates are vampires. But they get offended if you use the word "vampire," so they call themselves "jenti" and the humans "gadje". Running water makes the jenti dissolve, so they need a few gadje to play water polo. Now, as long as Cody plays water polo, he's assured straight A's. But when Cody decides to get generous and donate some blood to his friend, the school becomes drastically changed.

* AmoralAttorney: Subverted. While Cody's lawyer father butts heads with him often, he's still a nice guy. [[spoiler:At the end of the story, he tells the opposing water polo team that if they sue for the selkies playing (perfectly legal, as the selkies are students at the school), he will counter sue on their behalf, ''pro bono''. This is enough to get them all to back down.]]
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Justin, a vampire, tells Cody that there is no such thing as werewolves. Though he does add that it's as far as he knows.
* DeadpanSnarker: Cody, who apparently inherited it from his father.
--> '''Mr. Elliot:''' Now I really feel like a New Englander. I have a birch tree in the yard, a wood stove in the kitchen, and a mad relative in the attic. I wonder if I can chain her up?
* FantasticRacism: Humans and vampires generally don't trust each other. They generally try to ignore each other, though there's hints that things weren't so great in the past.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: These guys aren't killers. Their blood is delivered to them in pints.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: These vampires can turn into wolves, they are mortals, and they can go in the sun. Definitely different.
** [[spoiler:Certain ones also turn into otter-like creatures in water. These vampires are called selkies, and are speculated to be some genetic offshoot.]]
* SelkiesAndWereseals: Selkies are a type of vampire that can turn into an otter, and enjoy playing water polo.
* ShipperOnDeck: Justin seems pretty determined to help patch things up between Cody and Ileana.
* [[spoiler:SoYouWantTo/WriteAVampireNovel: Averted. In the end, it turns out the entire novel was a homework assignment!]]
* TookALevelInBadass: Justin
* VampireVords: Kind of. They have their own language, though.
* VegetarianVampire: For dinner, they eat potato soup, salad, and apple pie. No blood anywhere.
