My Roommate Is a Vampire

The chapter opens with a text exchange between Cassie and Frederick, in which Cassie tells Frederick she is having Wi-Fi installed in the apartment.

When Cassie returns to the apartment, Frederick has left her a note with a list of topics to cover in their 21st century lessons, which include coffee shops, general conversation tips, public transit, the internet, “Tick Tock” (141), and a summary of all big historical events over the past century. Cassie laughs at the list and decides to add to it, including a wardrobe refresh for Frederick with 21st-century casual attire. She sees another note along with some colored pencils, which are a gift from Frederick. She writes him a note thanking him for the pencils and agreeing with his list of lesson topics, then she returns to the studio to begin sketching out her new project.

The chapter starts with a text exchange between Frederick and Reginald in which Frederick asks Reginald what he thinks of Frederick’s clothes. Reginald tells Frederick he likes his clothes, which should be obvious given he was the one who preserved them while Frederick was unconscious. He then accuses Frederick of suddenly caring about his appearance because of Cassie.

The next night, Cassie shows Frederick the internet.
