I Love You Mr. Vampire

Chapter 8

I thought about telling Victor everything. About the incident from yesterday, the creepy guy. Ian King. But there was too much chaos in my brain right now and nothing made any sense.
And I wasn't even sure anymore on what actually happened and what I just imagined because of my head wound.

Besides I was already humiliated once. Not that I thought Victor would do the same. No, he was the opposite of Ian. But I know how ridiculous everything looked and I didn't wanna worry him, he had enough on his plate already. So I had to lie.
"Just the usual drama.
Teacher got angry at me. Bitchy cheerleaders and stupid boys." I answered Victor.
"That's exactly how High school supposed to be!" Victor said.
"Enough about me. How are you doing?" I asked Him.
"Nothing special, my parents are still trying to settle the divorce." Victor replied.
"I'm sorry, V." I said.
"Don't be. It's for the best really.
Oh and I got to know someone." Victor said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"A girl, Liz." Victor said.
"How do you know her?" I questioned.
"She's in my math class and sits next to me.
She's pretty cute." Victor said like he was blushing.

Oh and did I already told you that I had a major crush on Victor. Yes, I was in love with my childhood friend. But it has always been one sided.
Victor was not the least bit interest in me. He'd always considered me as a little sister.
"Good for you, V.
Did you ask her out? I replied smiling.
"Nope, still not. But I probably will these days." Victor asked.
"Ahh." I said.
"Did you lay your eyes on anybody in school?" Victor asked me.
"What!?
No, ofcourse not." I didn't see that coming.
"Why do you freak out?
It's not a sin to like someone." Victor said.
At that moment why did I have to think of some dangerous messed up guy.
"I don't like anyone." I replied straight forward. I mean… is that a lie AGAIN!
"It's really a mystery to me that you haven't has a boyfriend yet. You are drop dead gorgeous after all.
Any guy would be lucky to have you." Victor made me blush.
That's when I heard mom's voice.
"Liz…" mom called.
"Yes?" I replied to mom.
"Come downstairs." Mom said.
"I gotta go, my mom calls." I said to Victor.
"Alright. But call me sometime soon. I wanna know everything that's happening in your life." Victor said.

I went downstairs.
"What's up?" I asked mom.
"I need to go some medical training. I'll stay there overnight.
Here are some cookies." Mom gave some cookies.
"Thanks." I thanked mom.
"Not for you, silly.
For the neighbours." Mom said.
"Neighbours?" I said.
"Ofcourse. We've just moved here, we need to be polite." Mom said.
"Sure," I said.
"I won't have the time to bring them, so you will have to do that." Mom said.
"Why me?" I asked.
"Because no one else's living here." Mom said.
"Can't you do it after you come back." I just didn't want to go to neighbours.
"Liz?" Mom said and stared me.
"Fine." I agreed.
"I love you, Baby." Mom said.
"Mhm," I replied.
And mom went to her work.

Okay now the cookies.
I went to our neighbour. I saw a big giant house near ours.
I was like"Wow, nice house. They must be Richy rich."
I went and knocked on the door.
"Nobody's answering…
Not my problem."
Nobody answered, so I was about to leave but I heard some noise from inside the house.
"What's that???"
I tried to see through the big windows. But nothing I could see. That's when suddenly someone opened the door and when I saw I got shocked. It was IAN, who opened the door and came out.
"What are you doing here?" I asked Ian.
"What am I doing here?
What are you doing here?" He asked.
"I asked first." I said.
"I live here.
What are your excuses?" He said.
Wait, was this really happening. He and I are neighbours. This had to be the worst joke ever. I was annoyingly double shocked.
"I asked you something?" He asked me again.
"I… I just moved here…" I tried to explain.
"You what?
Couldn't you've moved somewhere else?" Ian said.
"I… it wasn't my plan to move here … I didn't mean to bother you." I said.
"Is that so?
Then why were you just trying to sneak into my window?" Ian said.
"What??
I never did that!" I was embarrassed.
"So, you just casually stand in front of other peoples house and watch them through their windows?" Ian said.
"I wasn't watching you, I just heard a noise." I said.
"A noise?" He asked.
"Yeah, like something crashed. What was that?" I said.
"You are definitely imagining things. But that doesn't even surprise me. You should really go see a doctor." Ian said.
This really makes me angry.
"You F-" I said.
"Hey, be a lil more quiet, we're not the only ones living here afterall. Let's not distribute everyone." Ian totally insulted me.
And that's it. I'm gonna kill him.
"YOU-ARE-SO-DEAD." I said to Ian.
"Wow, I really wanna see you try." He said with that big smile.
"Don't underestimate me." I said with my serious look.
"You're like half the size of me.
Both of your hands could fit in one of mine. You don't look like you have strength in your body.
So. What's your plan, Princess?" He insulted me.

But, shit, he was right. I had nothing against him. That guy would totally overpower me.
"I'll think of something, don't you think you've won…" I replied.
"I can't wait. So, if you are done stalking me now, I need to go to do some stuff." Ian said.
"I'm not stalking you!" I said angrily.
"Whatever." He replied.
"IAN, like an angel huh." I said.
"You're an interesting one." Ian said and went inside and locked the door.
"What's his problem?" I was thinking.
Then I went back to home, it was exhausting afterall.
