I was feeling so excited I could not sit still. I was walking all around the house, either talking to my mother or sitting at the computer screen, but gone to pace after a while. My school was holding an annual event, and because it was my first year, it was my first time at the event. We did not have to study, we could walk around the place wherever we liked. My mother then pulled me onto a chair and asked me to stay there as she was tired of me walking around. I sat quietly as I did not want to annoy her.

When it was time for me to go, she almost pushed me out of the door. I think it was me being too restless, mother likes peace and quiet. So I walked to school, extending my fangs as soon as soon as I reached the school gates.

Right after I walked in, a teacher asked me and a few other people to go to the lab as he wanted to show us something his other students did. We followed him and went to see the experiments. I was really annoyed with him; I had wanted to walk around by myself. He led us into the room and began talking about the experiments and what they were for. After he spoke for a while, I felt the sudden urge to yawn. So, with my back to him, pretending that I was just examining an object, I yawned as quietly as I could, so I did not offend him. Suddenly, I heard him speak to me, ?Dracky, do you find that particular handmade object interesting for some reason?? He strode towards me and I quickly tried to find an answer.

?It looks interesting? I said. ?Like a kind of artwork?.

He smiled broadly at me and instantly took over the conversation.

?You are right, look at this curve here. It took days of patient effort to get it perfect. And the colours are designed to make it stand out?.

He went over to the sign in front of the ?artwork' and doodled on it. When he was finished, it read ?a piece of modern art? I thought ?whoops I hope he does not found out that I was just saying anything to escape from him.?

After some time, he let us off. The first place I went to was the tuck shop. That was where people made things to sell. None of them seemed appealing to me. Some people had taken some ingredients and made a different flavor of blood (curry flavoured). I knew that it was not real blood. It was something our scientists invented a while ago. We did not need to drink real blood after this. But I was different. I did not drink blood, and I felt like vomiting. But I had faced that brand of blood for so long I did not really vomit.

I went to the games side of the carnival to look around. I tried my hand at the transform game. You had to transform into the same thing as them in 2 seconds. If you did this 5 times in a row, you win a prize. I won a bottle of the fake blood (pizza flavoured). I decided I would give it to my father, he likes it.

At the far corner, something caught my eye. It was a huge teddy bear. It was bigger than me, and it was really cute. I read the sign (wrestling match, you choose the location and fight two of us, if you can dodge us for two minutes, you win. One dollar each try) and decided to try. They gave me a chalk and asked me to choose the boundary. I saw the huge pile of prizes and knew that nobody had won yet. So I choose a place in the middle of the school, where there is sunlight. I drew the lines in the middle and they came over doubtfully. When they decided they were ready, they sounded the bell and stumbled towards me, weakened by the light. I did not have the same weakness towards light and managed to evade them easily. When the two minutes were up, they gave me the bear, and asked me how I managed to stay normal in the light without an umbrella. I shook my head and did not say anything. It was my secret.

Later that night, when I took my bear home, my parents were really surprised. But they allowed me to keep the toy, and I was very happy.
