For those who don't read the author's notes,,I don't judge you because I too have the same problem but as I proceed, all this is purely fiction and it's also an original piece of work from yours truly.
If you come across any conspiracy theory ,bare with me because hey ,it's just a book. I have no proof whatsoever so don't come at me. But feel free to imagine that it's real.
Oh and because I haven't had some romance in my life for quite some time now ,for the first time ever in the history of my books ,I shall include some pretty cheesy,sweet and romantic moments when the moment comes so stay tuned
"Wake up sleepy head rise and shine,we need to hurry otherwise we'll get late for the first class"
Wake up? Did I actually fall asleep. If so ,then why didn't I have any nightmares better yet why don't I feel numb. Instead,I feel kind of heavy and disoriented
I sat up suddenly causing me to feel insanely dizzy.
Note to self: Torture whoever woke me up
My fingers subconsciously wandered to my nose yet felt nothing.
I looked at the clothing,which happened to be a white nightdress,and ...
Wait a damn minute.
This wasn't what I was wearing previously and I don't remember falling asleep or being in this room that was painted pink. I'm In a room that is painted pink! The sheets are pink,the blanket is pink ! Everything apart from my night dress is pink.
I was fucking drugged and somebody changed me. Meaning they saw me naked! I'm twenty for ducks sake and some human saw me naked.
The writing and symbols. They probably saw that too.
However despite being 'violated', I realized that there was no blood in the dress.
Strange.
For a girl who has had severe nosebleeds in her sleep and is used to waking up in a mini pool of her own blood,this was definitely weird.
My eyes then locked onto thoney brown ones.
So this is the human that disrupted the most peaceful sleep I ever had
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Her eyes showed the confusion she was probably feeling.
I took a good look at her and instantly disliked her.
I know,I know,it's not good to judge people based on their appearance but sheesh, give me a break.
Judging from the way her black and white pleated skirt looked and how her black straightened hair gleemed if that's even a word, I could already tell her faults. Blame it on my terrible experiences with people.
She's a backstabbing female version of man's best friend if you know what I mean
If you don't ,then good. Let's keep it that way and I can tell that she is very vain and if I comment on how she looks she will probably start bragging about how she just got her hair done and how her skirt was designed and custom made
"You're very beautiful"I said and smiled making myself look meek an demure.
"Why thank you. I just got my hair done recently and had one of the best designers make me this custom sized skirt a..."
Told ya
She looks slightly dumb not that I'm being mean or anything. Okay,I am being mean but that's a good thing
Maybe I can get her to slip up and get a way to leave this place.
Yes ,that's the plan. Suck up to her just like how those girls in books and television do and bam,the think that you're stupid and spill out secrets knowing that you can't do shit.
The perfect plan.
"That's lovely"I said trying hard not to curse at her or stab her with the nearest sharp thing I could find
Happy thoughts. Think of happy thoughts.
That's when it hit me. I have no happy thoughts at all. Blame it on the shadows.
"Let's get you ready for class. The bathroom is on your right,just push the purple button and it will open,you need to hurry though"
I did as she instructed and indeed ,there was a button and it surprisingly gave way to a really posh looking bathroom.
Note to self: Not everything is what it appears to be
There were definitely many secret doors and passages in this place and maybe one of them could get me out.
I surprisingly freshened up real quick and used some of the nice smelling lotion I found .
There were new sets of toothbrushes , clothing and shoes in the wardrobe that I accidentally discovered,however most of the clothing were uniforms.
This really was an academy.
I brushed my shoulder length caramel hair and tied it in a messy bun.
The uniform surprisingly fit but it made me uncomfortable.
Why you might ask? Well it's simple, the skirt didn't go past my knees and did I mention that part of it consisted a skirt!
A freaking skirt! I mean how do you manuever your way around in a skirt?
What if the wind is too much and it raises it,or what if you faint?
Many horrible and embarrassing scenarios played in my mind.
Note to self: Destroy all the skirts when leaving
"Oh my gosh ,you look soo pretty"she squealed ,like a rat, if rats do squeal.
I should really stop criticizing her in my thoughts but wait...
Did she just say that I look pretty?
Lies.
"Thank you,you also look pretty as I said earlier"
"Well we need to get to class soon"
"Let's go then"
She pressed a pale pink button and the door opened.
Note to self
While walking,I realized that this was some kind of hostel .When we went down the stairs I realized that my room was on the highest floor
Did I mention that it was the only room on that floor? No? Well it is.
I guess Taby took my mini threat seriously.
Good for her
We passed many girls along the way and for a minute,I thought that this was a girls school until I saw the sign 'Girls hostel '
Balance. That's one thing I liked
If there was light in the world,there had to be darkness. If everyone was a good person in this world ,then how would we know what bad people are like.
I made sure to observe and mark potential escape routes . I also realized that this place looked too posh.
It resembled one of the top elite schools that I viewed on television.
There were really pretty flowers along the pathways and amazing structures around.
The girl ,whom I forgot to ask her name, kept on pointing at buildings and telling me more history about the school.
Did I mention that she insisted on holding my hand along the way?
Although I refused vehemently,she shamelessly went ahead and did so.
I ignored it because I needed her to leave this place .
However,when we got close to the supposed glass block,I felt the dark energy that was always within me withdraw.
And thats when it hit me!
She's not what she seemed.
"What's your name by the way. I seemed to have forgotten to ask?"I smiled whilst trying to pull my hand away so that she wouldn't suspect a thing.
"Oh goodness me,how could I forget to tell you that one key thing. My name is Solaria. "She smiled as if she knew something that I didn't.
I tried once again to skilfully withdraw my hand from hers but it was in vain.
Her hold seemed to be tightening by the minute
"I know who you are Solace and what you are capable of. I also know that you didn't get into the academy like the rest of us who had to prove their worth. My aunt already briefed me on what to expect when handling such a vile thing like you. Scum like you should have been thrown directly into the pits of hell and suffer an eternity in pain.
I don't know what you did and how you did it to escape that fate but let me tell you something,this is my school and my territory. You can either follow the rules and not cause any trouble or leave this place"
What did I tell you earlier.
Yeah,she's a female version of man's best friend.
I always know one when I see one
She was draining my energy. She wanted me weak and she wanted me to submit to her. Too bad she wasn't going to get what she wanted.
This made me question something. Was everyone in the school like her .
"Is everyone here like you?"I asked feeling very curious
"Of course not. I'm one of a kind. No one here can summon light or absorb darkness"
"Then does that mean that you are part of the elite"
"Oh I wish. But it's soon going to become a reality once I pass the exam next week"
"Exam? You mean people take an exam in order to become part of it"
"Yes. But the exams take place after ever ten years wait.. I hope you're not thinking of joining"
Maybe if you let go of my hand ,I'll stop thinking about it"
"You wouldn't even make it through the first quarter of the exam so why should I be worried and besides,out of the thousands of people who will try,only three females and three males will be selected "
"Oh... Sad"
"Now be a good dog and sit still. Don't talk to anyone unless you are addressed first and just stay still"
"Don't worry, I will..."
Not.
Nobody tells me what to do.
Period!
