Bonjour! I'm back again with another chapter to Naïve. I reckon it's gonna have maybe 4 chapters? Maybe 5.
Summary: Vlad's in love with Robin but tells him its someone in school instead
Naïve (Part Two)
"So who is it then? Who is it that has captured the great vampire "Vladimir Dracula's" heart?" Asked Robin grinning.
Vlad blushed a deep red.
"Is it someone in school then?" Questioned the vampire obsessed boy. Vlad nodded miserably. Well it was true wasn't it? Robin was in Vlad's school.
"Vlad. You're going to have to throw me a bone here. It's like talking to Lassie! Who is it?" Robin asked losing his patience.
Vlad said the first thing that came into his head. "Annie Roberts."
Annie Robertson was a quiet girl ,in their class at school, with red hair and glasses. She had never been mean to Vlad, but she hadn't exactly gone out of her way to welcome him either. But her name popped up and like an idiot, Vlad had blurted it out. Why hadn't he said someone unavailable? Like someone a few years above or someone who already had a boyfriend?
"Right. I'll ask her out for you on Monday." announced Robin, like Vlad knew he would.
"Please don't Robin! It'll make things worse!" Vlad said, hoping against hope that, for once, Robin would listen to him.
"What could be bad about asking her out? At best she'll say yes, at worst, she turns you down. And if she turns you down, then that means no-one at school calls you gay anymore, because at least you've asked someone out!"
"So gay means liking other guys then?" asked Vlad. Suddenly so many things made sense! Like the insults! Now the insults made sense! Why Vlad was so happy about insults making sense, he had no idea.
"Yeah. But it's not like we're gay or anything. It's just stupid boys making bad insults." said Robin.
" This way, if she turns you down, you don't have to ask anyone out again, because you could say you were too traumatised by being turned down!" (This was actually an excuse a friend used when she asked someone out for a shy girl. Poor girl. She ended up going out with him, but he refused to even hold her hand. So that was one boyfriend down the drain…)
Vlad didn't know anyway of turning down Robin without seeming strange or having to give an good excuse, and he was too tired for that. He just had to shrug his shoulders and hope Annie didn't agree to go out with him.
************************************************************
"Annie? Do you want to go out with Vlad?" Robin had dragged Vlad up to Annie as soon as the bell had gone. Annie glanced from the strange boy in the leather jacket to the slightly smaller boy behind him. Vlad looked kind of like he was praying.
"Sure." She shrugged. "Why not?" Vlad almost deflated. It was the three words he had NOT been hoping to hear. He sighed. No getting out of it now. He would just have to hope it would be an awful date.
"I'll come by your house tomorrow at about 8 OK?" He asked. She nodded and walked off.
"Well, well. Our little Vladdie all grown up. He even has a date! I'm soo proud." He heard a sarcastic voice behind him say. Vlad braced himself for the worst and turned around. There she was the wannabe Princess Of Darkness holding court behind him. "Don't worry Vladdie. I'll be sure to tell Dad ALL about this!" she cackled and walked off, Robins brothers following like sheep behind her.
"Your sister is evil." said Robin. "She is very pretty though."
Vlad sighed. He had to prepare for the worse.
End Of Part Two
So was it okay? Or did it make you want to gouge out your eyes and scream in pain awful?
So did anyone get the Annie Robertson joke? Or was it a bit too obscure?
I shall reveal the joke in the last chapter. Have an ice-lolly if you get it right but don't worry if you don't cause it wasn't a very good joke.
