A/N: Sorry for the huge break... Real Life issues in the way... and I'm planning to make even more stories too... The update schedule is gonna be about 1-3 weeks at most... This chapter is chapters 9 and 10 :) Double digits baby!~ xD On to the chapter!~ For those who forgot what happened last time; Otis found out that Naxx and Vlad know each other and he wants to know how.

Chapter 9: Snelgrove

"Hey... Unc-Mr. Otis..." I say.

"How come you know Mr. Otis?" Vlad asks beside me. "I thought you were new here; Naxx?"

"Well... Er.. You see..."

Otis looks at me.

"How did you meet Vladimir, Naxx?" He said.

I looked over to Vlad; I just knew he was gonna start asking me something else.

"God... Both of you shut up! I can't answer anything if one of you keeps trying to interrupt me!" I hissed.

Vlad and Otis simultaneously glare at me.

"Good.. Now... I'm Otis' niece and I really am new to Bathory. I just met Vlad a while ago too." I told them.

"Otis, there's 10 minutes until homeroom starts. We need you to go to your class to prepare!" A balding old guy that was walking up to us said.

"Right away, Principal Snelgrove." Otis replied before hastily striding away.

Snelgrove turned to look at Vlad.

"Mr. Tod." Snelgrove sneers. "You best behave if you're wanting to get through this year without any... Issues."

I'm dying from his cheesy odor... Help me... Vlad thought to me.

Same here... Ugh... Guy's got something stinky going on...

"Mr. Tod, are you listening?"

"Uhh... Yeah... I'm listening."

Snelgrove looked at me now. "Your uncle wouldn't want you befriending a troublemaker on your first day here."

"Otis didn't seem to mind him talking to me." I say.

What did you do to get on his hat list?

"Otis wouldn't go to such lengths to rid of unwanted.. Trash." Snelgrove glowered at Vlad.

With that said, Snelgrove, thankfully, made our day better by finally leaving towards the school.

He thinks I made a teacher fall...

Unreasonable much..

Now for chapter 10 where you meet a certain pink wearing girl!~

Chapter 10: Meredith

Yeah... And why are we mind-chatting when we can just talk out loud?

I don't know..

"Naxx, do you want me to help you get your schedule?" He asked quietly.

"Sure."

(time skip to homeroom)

Turns out that Vlad and I have all of the same classes so, we were walking to homeroom.

"Hi Vlad."

Vlad and I turned around to see his crush, Meredith.

"H-h-hi Meredith." He stammered out.

"Who's your friend?" She asked curiously.

"Naxx." He said and I gave a slight wave.

"Meredith, Meredith Brookstone." She said happily.

"Where's your homeroom Meredith?" I ask curious.

She pointed to the classroom Vlad and I were headed to.

"That's where our homeroom is too." Vlad cut in.

The bell rang signaling that we were almost late to homeroom.

"Time to go, I guess." I gestured to the door.

Meredith stepped inside and was instantly surrounded by a group of girls chattering away.

Vlad walked inside and dodged the group of girls before walking to a desk in the back row.

Everyone near him moved to a desk far away from him like he was some sort of rat with plague.

I decided that Vlad would probably need more company than Meredith and her group of friends so, I sat in the desk to his side.

Vlad must've noticed me sitting next to him because he looked up in my direction.

I smiled. You seemed sorta lonely back here once everyone parted ways from your general area.

Not really. It's always been like this.

Well... That must bite.

Vlad and I looked at each other and burst out giggling madly; this was gonna be one hell of a year!

Shorter than average but... Better than nothing? Bad for me since that last part was gonna be in the next chapter... Oh well... Til next time!~ Read and Review Please!~ … Even my other amin story with only 3 chapters and an author note(like the one I put) has more reviewers than this story with tripled!
