There are times I’m perplexed.

There are no vampires at Boston Latin School, says headmaster Lynne Moone Teta.

Seriously.Students at the school, which was founded in 1635, began e-mailing news organizations Wednesday night with the strange story of vampires roaming the halls.

“Supposedly 3 students believe that they are vampires and today when a student was bitten the police were informed,” wrote one student in a message to TheBostonChannel.com. “I heard that one girl was arrested another suspended.”

Police, however, denied reports that anyone at the school was bitten.The rumors were strong enough to cause anxiety among the student body and disrupt classes on Thursday.

You would think after the romance of Twilight that vampires were all just misunderstood, that these students would welcome the gift of eternal life.

Or, the students could be drama queens looking to create mass distraction.

Either way, it made me laugh.
