Okay, this is my first english fanfiction. It's maybe not correct in spelling and grammar, so please be nice! ^^
How to become a vampire.
Chapter 1.
He's dead.
Is it possible for me to become a vampire? I mean, I'm just a normal high school geek, or nerd, you know that geeks and nerds are actually the same thing? No? Well, they are. People just say different.
My name is Effex, by the way. Okay, Effex is not my real name. It's just a nickname of my name Emily. And my dad works at FedEx, so... yeah. Effex is pronounced like this: Eff-ex. And Eff sounds like an F. It's just that simple. Okay, let's move on. I am 16-years old, my 17th birthday isn't until the end of the year, so I have to wait longer than anybody else til' my birthday. I live in Clark County Nevada, in Las Vegas. And my mom works for Peter Vincent, a magician who performs on stage on his hotel called: "Hard Rock Casino Hotel". She is helping Peter with all his stuff, like a assistant. And I am lucky, just because my mom is his assistant I got the chance to meet him once in a while.
I've got his autograph and a couple of photos. And sometimes we actually talk. He knows who I am and he's always treating me like I was one of his relations, like a cousin, or a sisters child. And not as a fangirly hardcore fan.
My biggest obsessions in life are horror movies, trading card games, science fiction, manga and anime, fantasy novels and movies, comic books and of course; vampires. I have read a million vampire books, novels and comics, I've seen a lot of TV-shows and movies and now I'm watching Peter Vincent's vampire show called Fright Night every Friday night with my nerdy friends; Jasper, Lucas and Tomas. All my friends are guys, and the reasons I hang out with the nerdy guys are just one: All the girls in Clark High are bimbos, bitches or whores. Okay, maybe not everybody, but, many of them. And none of the ordinary girls loves the things I love. That's kind of boring, but I'm okay with the guys, they like me, in a friendship-kinda way.
So I'm just a ordinary horror movie loving punk, and my biggest dream is to become a vampire. You want a reason? I'll give you a reason:
My life SUCKS. Yeah, it sure does.
You know the jocks? Well, some of them; Mark, Ben and my cousin, Charley, bully me. Every single day they bully me. They have done that ever since they met me the first time in preschool. But they bully other people too, and by people I mean NERDS. My cousin, Charley Brewster, was a nerd just like me, and he was bullied by Mark and Ben, just like me. But last year, just after this summer, he changed, - both mentally and physically, - into one of the jocks. He stopped hanging around with his two best friends, "Evil" Ed Lee and Adam Johnson and pretended like he never knew them in his entire life. Adam is dead now, he died in a car crash with is whole family a month ago, of what I've heard. And Ed disappeared the day after. His parents doesn't know where he is, and they're really worried.
I haven't met Ed and Adam so much, but I know that Ed loved vampires, and he was a hardcore Fright Night fan, just like me. Okay, this maybe sounds weird but... maybe he's turned into...
Oh shit.
"Hey! Charley!" I said to Charley, after our science class in school. He stood with his girlfriend Amy, one of the hottest girls on school, and they didn't bother looking up from Charley's iPhone.
"Charley!" I said once more. "Hey, I need to talk to you."
Charley and Amy looked up. Amy smiled a little bit, just to be friendly, but Charley looked bothered.
"What is it Effex?" He said with an bored voice.
"I need to talk to you." I repeated.
"Okay, so what's up then."
"You know, your pal, Ed?"
"Yeah, what about him?" Charley went pale and looked at Amy, who also went pale.
"He loved vampires, right?"
"Yeah, he did. Why are you asking?"
"I'm just curious. No news about him?"
"Well, yeah... the police have stated that he's dead."
I nodded. "Okay, thanks." I turned around and started to walk away. Then Charley remembered that he used to bully me: "Your glasses are fuckin' ugly! He cried.
I turned my head around. "Yeah! I know!" I smiled a evil smile.
Okay, Ed really loved vampires. So it might be true that he turned into one and left school.
But... who bite him?

"Peter Vincent... sir, do you believe in vampires?" I asked him when I met him on the stage, drinking coffee and eating a sandwich. "I mean, you're the expert. The biggest vampire expert in the US."
"Why do you ask?" He looked at me in a kind of way like I wasn't the first on who asked that question.
"I'm just curios."
"Yeah, I do kind of believe in them, but I don't think they're exist."
"Okay, but thanks for answering, - where did my mom go?"
"To the cafeteria,"
"Okay, thanks. Good luck at the show, by the way."
"Thanks."
I started to walk down to the scene, then I jumped down and walked towards the seats. Then I opened the door and want straight ahead to the cafeteria.
I found mom reading the newspaper and eating a bowl of soup. On the front page of the newspaper I saw a picture of "Evil" Ed. It was big and the headline said: EDWARD LEE IS DEAD, ACCORDING TO THE POLICE. Ed looked happy on the photo, he smiled and you could see it in his eyes. Ed wore glasses, he had black hair and he was pale white. He wore his ordinary black zipper hoodie and his silver-gray leather-looking jacket. Ed was faintly punk looking, just like me.
"Hi mom." I said.
Mom looked up from the newspaper and said, quite surprised: "Hi honey, are you here?"
"Yeah, I was bored so I decided to take a visit."
"Okay."
"What does it say about Ed, in the news?" I pointed at the front page on the newspaper.
Mom looked at it. "Isn't his name Edward?"
"Yeah, but everyone says Ed."
"Oh, know I get it. It says that they couldn't find him anywhere so they said that he might just be good as dead."
"Okay, Charley said that to, this morning."
"Must be sad for him, losing best friends like that. First Adam, and then Edward..."
"No", I interrupted. "They haven't been friends for like a year. Haven't Jane spoke to you about Charley turning into a jock and dissing his two best super-geeky friends?"
"Yes..! She did!" Mom remembered. "I've forgot about that." Then mom looked at her clock on her arm. "I gotta go now, my break is over."
"Okay." I said. See you at home."
"Bye honey." Mom gave me a quick hug before she walked away.
