Vernon the vampire & Spencer the spider

Hi! I’m Vernon the vampire. My friends say I’m always in the darkest of moods, but what can I do? I’m a vampire, after all. They also say I have the most amazing parties with special themes and music which is true. I plan them very carefully to the tiniest detail to make sure that everyone has a great time. Including me. Well, sometimes I manage to get a thrill out of it.

But definitely not on a morning like this. I haven’t even opened my eyes yet and I’m one hundred percent sure that it’s a sunny day again. I’ve got to go to school. Why? Oh, why?

Anyway, I’d better get ready. My outfit must reflect my mood, so today, as always, I’m wearing my black cape. Do I see it correctly and there are dark clouds gathering in the distance? Well, I might get lucky after all.

Let’s see what’s in my lunchbox. Pasta with tomato sauce. No garlic. Perfect! Now I have one reason to go to school. The other is to plan my birthday party with my friends. I can’t wait! Ollie the octopus will make a special mix for me. Originally, I wanted the theme to be “Welcome to the dark side”, but Rosie said it was totally not OK and I should be more positive about my birthday. I wonder how much more positive she means? 

I hope everyone being there and having a good time will make me feel better, too. I need it, because studying in a sunlit classroom won’t make me happy.

OK, let’s go to the bright side and get this school day over with.
