It was an ordinary day at Garside Grange. The Count was looking for Miss McCauley, as usual, and Ingrid was doing whatever it is she does best. Vlad however, went to school. He didn't want to hang around upstairs because he would just end up thinking about how he hates his life. He had lost everything; his best friends and the girl he loves. To make it worse, there was no longer a peace between the vampires and the breathers, and he was expected to lead the vampire world to 'glory', which isn't what he wanted.
Vlad sat at the back of his maths classroom; it was a good way to isolate himself.
"Vlad, Vlad!" shouted his teacher, "Just because you are the owner's son does not mean you are exempt from doing your work. Now you can either start work or get out of my class," Vlad looked to his teacher before taking his bag and walking out of the classroom.
The corridors were empty, silent. Vlad had nowhere to go, so he resorted to wandering around the corridors. It wasn't long before the deafening bell rang through the school and the corridors flooded with students. That was the end of the school day. Vlad headed towards Miss McCauley's office, since that would be where his dad would be.
"I hope your first day went well, and I will be glad to see you here tomorrow to start properly," said Miss McCauley in her ever cheerful voice.
"Thanks," a boy's voice said from inside the office
Who is that? They sound very familiar... Vlad thought. He crept closer to the door.
"Come on Robin lets go, see you tomorrow Miss McCauley," came a second voice, female this time.
Vlad backed up treading in a patch of sunlight as he went. "Ouch!" he cried. Just as he did, the door to Miss McCauley's office opened to reveal a tall boy with shabby black hair, and a small girl with brilliant green eyes, reading a book. "Oh, good afternoon Vlad," Miss McCauley said before walking down the corridor. The girl looked up from her book; a huge smile appeared on her face.
"Vlad, Robin look it's Vlad!" the girl cried turning Robin around.
"Who? Chloe what are you talking about?"
