And now it's Thursday again, one week since it was Thursday the last time. But last Thursday this fanfic wasn't even thought of yet so... I don't know what I was going to write, but here's the third chapter of 'From acquaintance to best friend' :

Chapter 3: Are you really a vampire geek?

Vlad is coming! Vlad is coming!

We decided yesterday that he would come over to study, we have the day off today, you see. And when I asked where he lived, he said that he lived in the castle (and I knew which castle he meant) and then he asked where I live and I said, of course, that I lived in the house on the right next to Branagh's, because that's where I live. He was surprised, but said that he knew where that was. HE'S COMING SOON!

Today I took a shower and washed my hair with the shampoo mum bought when she was in France, and that shampoo is special shampoo that mum says that we can only use at special occasions, which I somewhere, maybe in my foot, thought that this was.

I put on my clothes that was my nicest casual clothing, as I in my other foot thought were worth to wear today. I wondered if Vlad was going to wear his cloak, and if he were I wouldn't mind but I hoped he wouldn't.

Vlad... is he really a vampire geek? The only thing that signals a vampire geek about him is his cloak, and he looked a bit uncomfortable in it too. I need to ask him when he comes around.

Suddenly the phone rang and I rushed towards the hallway where it was, but fell in the doorway of my room.

"AAAAAAAAAH!" I screamed of pain when a stitch got into my finger when my hand was dragged across the floor when I tried to get back up. I pulled it out and saw that it was not even a third as long as I thought it was. (When something like that happens you are quite glad that your parents aren't home.)

It didn't hurt anymore and I walked towards the phone and pushed one of the buttons to see which number who had been calling. I recognized it immediately as it was mum's aunt Helen who used to call almost all the time. I pushed another button as to listen to the message she had been leaving.

"I just have to tell you about the guy I met last night, Nina." That's my mother's name."He was so hot and when he..." I pushed the button again to make the message mute, but the button had gotten stuck under the edge, if you know what I mean, so it didn't work. And to make it all worse, I heard the frontdoor open (it was probably Vlad, and I had told him just to step inside and not knock, I wish I hadn't).

"Hello?" I heard him shout. But I didn't answer as I had to make the phone stop telling the message. All Vlad heard now was probably a quite loud message from my aunt telling him about her hot date last night. I just couldn't get the button out from under the edge, so I just left it and walked downstairs to meet Vlad.

"Hi Vlad." I said. He wore his cloak.

"What's that sound from upstairs?" he asked.

"Erm... just ignore that." I said and started walking up the stairs, and he followed right behind. When we walked by the phone, I was so embarressed.

"And his thing, it was sooo..." was what was coming out of the phone then, and I grabbed Vlad's hand and pushed him into my room and closed the door. The message was getting worse now, now she talked about adult stuff. As if by luck the message wasn't heard through the door.

"Hi Stella." Vlad said and sat down on my bed.

"Hi Vlad." I said though I knew I had said it before.

"You smell nice." he said as if he just had to fill the silence of a minute with any compliment.

"Thank you." I said and smelled my hair. "I used french shampoo last time I showered."

"Okay." he said, but he looked as if it hadn't been my hair that smelled good.

"Are you really a vampire geek?" I asked, though I had remembered what I had thought about before.

"No, I'm not a vampire geek." he said.

"I knew it. But why did and do you wear a cloak then?" I asked.

"My dad forces me to." he said and sighed. "He's always so disappointed in me, so I thought I wouldn't go against everything he says."

"I don't understand. He should be proud of you; your brilliant in school, your kind and you are polite." I said questioningly.

"All the things my dad doesn't want me to be." he said and sighed again, heavily.

I felt a strong urge to hug him, and I was sure he wouldn't mind as it, to my surprise, was meant as an comforting act. But he didn't move when I held my arms around him, and after a while that felt awkward so I stopped.

"If you knew what I will be, you wouldn't hug me. You would run by fear. You would grab a stake and pierce it into my heart as the heartless monster I will be." he said, still not moving. But then he raised his head and I saw guilt in his eyes. "If you knew the real reason I wear a cloak, you wouldn't be my friend anymore and I would get the lonely life I deserve."

"How could you, Vlad Count, be a monster?" I said, I couldn't believe that this decent boy would be a monster. "How could you, Vlad Count, deserve a lonely life?"

"I am not Vlad Count." he said and sighed as he took his cloak off and gave it to me. I am..."

"...Vlad D." I said, not knowing why it would be so dangerous to have a surname that began with D.

"No. My surname is Dracula."

So... what did you think? Review please! :)
