"Alright, students please follow me."
What could we say , we had every reason to follow him. But I had no reason to . I wanted to return home, badly. It doesn't matter if I am all alone, but it was better than being a stranger in a strange land.
He led us into the palace and a woman in her early thirties appeared in front of us
" Students, welcome to Magic High! I am Miss Night Linda, the head master of Magic High.
You are here at Magic High because you display some measure of an amazing magical talent. All of you would need guidance and instructions to develop your magic correctly."
The woman looked at us all for a second and brought out a book,
" According to your display of magical talents during the exam, I will now announce the scores. Your scores would determine the rooms , classes, you would all be in and your companions."
The woman stared at the book in her hand for some time and said,
" I would call from the last, the second to the last and the third to the last would follow themselves into the last room and it would follow like that to the first."
She called a list of people and in no time it was only me , two other girls, and two boys.
"You guys, follow me." We walked through halls of so many doors , that we couldn't admire the scenery with how fast we moved, until we reached a silver colored door . I had never walked so fast in my life, but the same force kept me mute, and controlled my body.
Another male teacher clad in white meet us halfway and took the boys along. While the rest of us , females, followed behind the woman.
The handle of the door was made of pure gold and above the door were some words in gold print, SAGE.
We already knew what to do, but we didn't do anything . The door opened itself and before us was a large room. I was expecting a bunker bed but the room was so big that it contained three different cushioned beds.
Each bed had a bed drawer beside it with a tall wardrobe glued to its wall. There was a door that led to the bathroom. Even the toilet was generously embellished with the latest modern facilities.
Once we were in, the door closed behind us. And I walked to a bed , not on my own will, but with whatever force was controlling me. I looked at it for some time and turned around. The two other girls had picked a bed each.
One seemed like those kind of girls that kept to themselves but were quick-witted and strong. There was an aura of gloominess surrounding her. She wore a simple Neon punk outfit, which complemented her blue wavy hair.
I had seen some of the students with a different color of hair, apart from black and brown. And it seems that it's their real color of hair and not painted.
The other girl wore a rosy mini dress and had her blonde hair in a long ponytail. She seemed like those aristocratic kids . Noticing my gaze on her , she turned around and faced me.
" Hi, I'm Angelina . Nice to meet you," said the girl with a ponytail. The other girl heard her voice, and turned around.
"Hello, nice to meet you too. I'm Alicia," the other girl answered and they were both looking at me like there was something on my face.
" Rachael." I said trying to ignore the weird looks then, we heard a voice
"Students , please step out for dinner in twenty minutes and make sure to change into new casual wears."
I had to use the bathroom, since I was bloodied. Opening the wardrobe, there were different sets of clothes hanging inside. I just casually took a baggy top and jeans. The others didn't have a speck of dust on their body or clothes, but still changed out of them .
Entering the bathroom, I didn't have time to admire it , and quickly had a quick shower. We had only twenty minutes, and I didn't want to be dragged out, naked.
" I will come back for this. " I said looking at my bloodied clothes.
Coming out, the girls were all dressed and ready to leave. It seems that they had been waiting for me .
Arrows appeared and led us into a large hall . We picked a table, and sat on it. I saw my earth friends already mingling with the others. I wanted to go to them, but for some reason it felt that they were doing okay without me.
I saw a pen and a paper in front of me on the table , and picked it up . Somehow, I had the feeling of what to do with it. I wrote what I'd like to eat and the others in front of me did the same. Soon , a woman in chef's clothing brought our order.
And I wouldn't have been surprised if the mahogany table draped in linen, laden with china and candles and fruit and flowers, had simply vanished into thin air, like a magic casket in a fairy tale.
After the meal we went back to our respective chambers when a voice said,
" Classes begin tomorrow, do not be late."
We weren't even allowed to do anything, since the lights automatically switched off.
And we all went to sleep. Maybe because of what I had gone through since morning, my system shut down, and I slept for two hours. I woke up around midnight because of my insomnia and something scared the heck out of me.
It was Silva. Turns out , she had been snooping around, trying to find a comfortable part to sleep on the bed. I decided to explore the room after some hours of staring at the sleeping Silva. Due to the fact that I didn't sleep at night, my eyes were accommodated to darkness. I could see, really well . There were so many things in the room, but I stopped myself. The other girls weren't normal for sure. And I didn't want to end up dead or…. whatever, because I disturbed their sleep.
It was dawn . I pushed one of the large windows open and stepped out of it. I appeared on a balcony.
Outside it was cool and still. The sky had a hazy shade of white, peculiar to autumn mornings. The hedges and acres of lawn were covered in a network of spider webs that caught the dew in beads that glistened white as frost. Preparing for their journey south, the martins flapped and fretted in the eaves,and, from the blanket of mist hovering over the lake,
I heard the harsh lonely cry of the mallards. From up there, on the balcony, I could see the magnificent view of the School. It was really out of fantasy.
After having indulged in the scenery to my satisfaction, I went to take a bath and got into a black top and jeans with a black jacket. Soon the two girls woke up and had their bath. Like always, Silva was gone. It seems that she doesn't want her existence to be known to others.
Angelina wore a pink top and blue pinafore , and Alicia wore a Blue jeans and a top. When we got out of our room , as always the arrows magically appeared and in no time we were in a hall full of students. Yeah…we actually aren't that much. Maybe. .. Hundred.
We were all seated at our seats. By saying our seat, I meant that we actually had our own seats. Our names were written on the seats. And for some reason, I was seated with my roommates.
Just then, a male teacher walked in and said,
"I am teacher Kyle . I have been assigned to let you all have a hint about what magic is. Firstly , we start with orientation."
