The school looked like any other normal high school in north Carolina except for the big eery gate with it's shadow towering over the school entrance
The gloomy looks of the school building itself and the disturbing silence that reminds one of a graveyard, it didn't help that the female teachers were dressed like bereaved widows and the male dressed like mogue attendant
The school couldn't really be associated with the word normal, one look at the building, the word prisoner was sure to drop at the back of ones mind
"Nicolette.... Nicolette are u listening"
my mother's annoying voice broke off my train of thought, unbeknownst to me, we already passed the school's hall and were seated in the principal office, I quickly composed myself and by that I meant I covered up my already expressionless face with another layer of gloom
The principal, a woman with black raven hair that looked like a brush had not gone through it in ages with a miniature face with little to no wrinkles which made her look quite young but I could guess her age from the ancient look in her eyes
Blue eyes that had already faded to grey, double chin hidden well with makeup
Long lashes that were barely hanging up but supported well with mascara
Her looks screamed late thirties but her eyes reminded me of the portrait of great papi calex hanging above the fire place in the living room
The portrait always felt real because if the murderous glint in his dead eyes
"Gwendolyn how long has it been"
the principal voiced out shifting her gaze away from mine
"Abt 10 to 15yrs I think...oh how quickly time flies"
they both chuckled dryly and I could tell by their tone they weren't that close
Or don't like each other that much
"Nicole i presume"
"Nicolette if u pls" my mother spoke up before I could
" She finds the shorten version rather cringe and prefers Nicolette"
The principal paused, her gaze fixated on me as if expecting me to say my mind but I was not Abt to give her an audience any time soon and she realized that quickly before continuing with the registration
I was assigned to a dormitory with three other girls and was told to check in with the headmistress for my uniform and class schedule
################################
Worst thing Abt being in a prison like school for the abnormal was not the bereaved teachers or the makeup obsessed principal
But the fact that I had to spend the entire semester with three weirdos that looked like they were from from another planet entirely
I was assigned to golden crest house and was told to move my stuff there immediately
I was never a ppl person but there was nothing I could do since my parent had decided to abadon at this miserable school
The house was at the east wing of the school, it took me quite a while to find it but I did, I didn't bother knocking cause I didn't think there was gonna be anyone inside and there really wasn't
"Hii"
The voice came from over my shoulder, obviously I wasn't scared if that was what the culprit was trying to do but when I turned around I jumped back in fear
"Nice to meet u, am mavy"
The thing voiced out, right there was a girl who looked like she was beaten by a rainbow and a unicorn ate fairy dust and popped on her
