New Age

Chapter 1-New School New Me

"Well, here we are, Wisteria High." The entire school was just a huge castle. I thought the paper slip I got was just joking about the castle thing, but like usual I'm wrong. After looking back at the slip I was given to compare the pictures I knew for sure that I was in the right place. The castle I stood in front of had a light grey brick exterior with two huge wisteria trees. The morning dew drops were still visible on the grass and some of the dew was dropping down from the two trees in front of the school. The two pillars that were behind the wisteria trees had purple tops to them that were almost white as the sun rose. When I tried to go into the school I saw a long line of people. The people in the line had weird features like wings, claws, horns, you name it. I thought that this was the line to get in so I joined the line and was eminently blocked in. It took a long while to get to the front but I made it. There was almost zero security beside a fold-out desk with a lady behind it. The lady behind the desk looked normal but when you looked under the table instead of legs you could see a long, turquoise, serpent tail. When I got to the desk, finally, the lady asked me "name, birthday, age and species". "Um, I'm Zena Sherwood, my birthday is October 10, and I'm 15." I said in a somewhat shaky voice. "Alright, what's your species then?" The lady asked again." Human, I guess?" There was a small silence between us for a few seconds, when she finally asked in disbelief, "You said you're a...Human?" I was confused but answered with a firm "yes". The lady stared at me for a few more seconds then said "all right then, here's your locker number, your dorm key, and your schedule, good luck human girl."

Once I was actually inside the school It was even bigger than the outside. There were multiple floors, and each one looked bigger than the last. The floors had dorms classrooms and there was even a floor dedicated to lockers! On the ground floor was the cafeteria. The majority of it was inside but there was a floor with a balcony above it that had some tables and chairs on it. To keep myself from getting overwhelmed I decided to go to my dorm. "501...501...501" I whispered trying to find my dorm. The floor I was on was one of five floors that had dorms on it, I might be here a while. When I finally found my dorm, my roommate was already at the dorm. The main room of the dorm was mainly white but had a few wisteria flower designs on the walls. There were two doors to the left and right of the entrance to the room. Against the wall was a small little kitchen that veered off to the left with an island that had a few stools. On the left side of the wall directly beside the kitchen with a door that said "Bathroom", and directly in the middle was a small fire pit with a couch and chairs around it. On the couch sat my roommate. She was sitting up straight with her legs crossed and looking at her nails. She didn't notice me come in so I decided to speak up. "Um, hi I'm Zena, your new roommate n-nice to meet you." When she looked up at me it looked like she was mad at me for interrupting her. She had a sky blue left eye and a dark red right one. She had a weird black mark on her right eye with her hair swept to the side to cover it somewhat. Her hair was pinkish red kind of color, like her eye but more pink. To be honest I didn't know what hybrid, thing, she was. I mean she had an angel's wing on the left and a devil's wing on the right to start. She also had an upside-down heart-shaped tail so yeah your guess is as good as mine. For her outfit, she had on what looked like a pink striped black suit with a white undershirt. She had on pinkish-red pants with black platform boots. When I finally looked back up at her she looked at me directly. "Oh, sorry kinda zoned out there. Hi, I'm Scarlet, Scarlet Dixon, nice to meet you too!" Her voice was a bit raspy but calming at the same time. I just stood there, I was honestly kinda shocked "Uh hey you ok? Wait, d-did I scare you?!" I shook my head and looked back up at her. "Oh no, it's fine, it's just that you, uh..." My words drifted off for a second as I tried to find the right words. " Lemme guess you thought I was going to be some big bad lady who was gonna step on you, and not in a sexy way. Am I right?" She said exactly what I was thinking but way more composed and calm. "Um yeah, that's almost exactly what I was going to say to be honest." I was still kind of off-put by her voice and how she acted. "Alright, let's get off the topic of names and start getting to know each other. Do you like cookies?" She said. "O-oh, um, yeah?" I responded a bit confused. "Great we'll start from there!"
