"Vamp? Why are there school clothes in my draw?" I shout down. I think I know the answer.
"It's for school tomorrow. Now come and eat." Replies vamp.
"Tomorrow!? But vamp I've got to explore. I don't know anyone. Besides I'm a vampire."

I hear him sigh. He sighs really loud and that really annoys me.
"Dusty you need to go to school. Now come eat your bird."

I followed the instructions and came down stairs. I feel like a three year old and I feel like I'm being made to do all these things. Sometimes I really hate vamp.
"Hey buddy keep your thoughts to yourself."
"I can't help it if you can read my mind. Just chill out."

Then at that moment vamps face suddenly went relaxed then shocked.
"What's up?" I asked.
"You. You just sent me a calming wave."
"What's that!?"
"You know how I was saying you could change people's emotions. Well you just did it."
"Okay cool. I should go to bed."
"Good idea." I walked up and went to bed."
*******
I got woken up my the rain. I looked over at my clock next to my bed. I was quite surprised at the time. I decided it would be best to get out of bed. I had a shower and went downstairs.

"Hey buddy. I was just wondering when you'd wake up. You don't need breakfast. I've made you lunch. Vampires only really need one meal. Only one type of vampire needs more then one."
"Who's that?" I asked vamp.
"Doesn't matter. Now this is the start of a semester. Most people will know everyone else. It's best to stay quiet."

I'm a bit nervous. I think I'm the only vampire in the school.
"Hey Dusty it's okay. The headmaster is a vampire. He will understand your problems."
"Wait do you know him!?"
"Kinda."

Yes this is my chance.
"Hey buddy I know what you are thinking. He wouldn't fall for it. He's not really the nicest guy."
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"Well let's just say in the 50 years I've known him for we haven't got on very well."

I was walking up the stairs when vamp called out to me.
"Where are you going buddy?"
"Up to my room." I said.
"Too late. We need to leave or we'll be late. It won't be very good."
"Um. Okay."
"Here." Hyde said as she walked out of the kitchen.
"I made you some lunch. Don't give it to ANYONE."
"Thanks." I shout as I put the lunch in my bag and walk out the door.
I get into vamps car. He gets into the other side and plugs in his keys.

It was a long silent drive. I kept looking over at vamp and he kept looking over at me.
"Hey is everything okay buddy?"
"Yeah. Just nervous."
"That you won't fit in? Believe me you will." Okay. I was a bit nervous that I wouldn't fit in.
"Vamp I know I won't fit in. I'm a vampire not human like everyone else."
"Okay I want you to take a deep breath then get out the car."

At first I thought he was insane but then I realised that we were here. I slowly opened the door. I then got out and grabbed my bag.
"Have fun buddy." Shouted vamp as he drove off.

Someone then grabbed me by the arm.
"Hey. Are you Buddy?"
"Get off me!" I said more aggressively then intended. They immediately let go.
"And it's Dusty. My dad calls me buddy." I said as i started to walk off. They didn't stay they followed me.

"Hi Dusty. My name is Daniel." He said as he stuck out his hand. I just kept walking. It turned out I walked into a dead end.
"It looks like you have no idea where we're going." He was really starting to annoy me.
"No. I don't know where I'm going." I said and turned around to walk away. Once again he followed me.I started to growl.

I somehow managed to send him a wave of frustration. I thought it would help but it made things worse.
"Don't you understand that I am trying to help you!?" He said angrily.
"Well don't you understand that I don't need your help. I can do things by myself." I snapped at him.
"Sorry for helping." He said as he walked off.

I was happy he left. I had space. Space and silence. Well it wasn't really silent and there wasn't much space but at least no one was talking to me. I managed to find the classroom quite quickly.

"Hello. You must be Dusty. Nice to meet you." Said the teacher.
"Yes I am. Hello." I said. The teacher looked at me for awhile weirdly.
"So. Are you into the colour red or something?" He asked.
"Errr? Yes. I like it. A lot. Like a lot a lot." This was kinda true.

The teacher paused to look at me again.
"I see your eyes are red as well. Did your dad let you do it?"
"My dad?"
"Yes?"
"No. I don't live with my dad."

The teacher was about to say something else but the siren went so everyone sat down in their seats except for me. I was left standing there.
"Okay Dusty. You can sit right here." He pointed at one of the many spare seats.
"Right at the front?" I asked.
"Yes. So I can keep an eye on you."
I sighed. This was going to be a long day.

I was right about what I said before. It was a long day. Many people looked at me as I walked past. One person stopped while I was eating my lunch.
"Why don't you live with your dad?" I recognised that voice. It was the last voice I ever wanted to hear.

"It's got nothing to do with you."
"Yes it does. You told me this morning that it was your dad was the one shouted to you. That he called you buddy."
"Okay. My dads dead. My mum remarried. So I call him dad." I made this up on the spot. I was pretty happy with that.
"Right. Okay." Daniel said. He got up and walked away.

If I wasn't eating my lunch I would have gone and ripped him apart. Lucky for him my sandwich was full of blood. Not human blood but it almost had the same effect. It calmed me down. Not as much as much as human blood but it almost did the job.

I was sat here alone. Alone for a long time. Once again all these people were looking at me but there was this one girl who was alone. Alone like me. I decided it would be best if I got up and talked to her.

I slowly walked up to her. The closer I got the more fear I could feel radiating off her. Once I was in front of her I put out my hand and said.
"Hi. I'm Dusty."
She moved closer to me and stuck out her hand. She then.......

Ha. Cliffhanger. Kinda.
