Elemental War

first day.

Rrrrringgggggggggggg!!!!!!!!! The alarm clocked blared. I rolled my eyes shocked out of my sleep. Gigi slammed her hand on the alarm shutting it off.

"Good morning." Gigi gruntled.

"Good morning. Last night was crazy!"

We both giggled. Gigi slowly sat up in her bad.

"Yessss! We had so much fun! Even though I had to tell gremlin off!" Gigi added.

" I know that whole encounter was so awkward! I hope I don't have to see her today."

"Don't be afraid of her! I think you could take her!" Gigi spoke.

"I hope so." I whispered.

I hopped out of bed and began scrambling for my supplies for my first day of class. Gigi went into the bathroom and started getting ready.

Although my body still felt half asleep, I hurried to my first class. Gigi showed me the way although she had a different class to attend.

After walking down many halls and up several flights of stairs, we'd finally made it to my classroom.

The tardy bell rang.

"Thank you for showing me the way! I'm sorry I made you late on your first day!" I spoke to Gigi as she ran off to class.

"It's all good girl I'm always late anyways!" She screamed from halfway down the hall.

I knocked on my classroom door.

A middle aged short man opened the door.

"You're late little missy! And it's the first day too! I know you're a first year so this is going to be your only warning! I do not tolerate tardiness!" The short old man scolded. He had three grey hair on top his head, but a full grey goatee. The old man wore sagging large black framed glasses, he never cared to push his glasses into the proper position.

There were many rows of wooden desks with books and quills on top. The old man now stood in front a larger desk that faced the students. I sat in an empty desk next to an unexpected familiar face, Karmen from the train!

"Heyyyy Stella!" She whispered excitedly.

"Oh my gosh, hiiiii!" I whispered back. We smiled at each other.

"Good morning new cadets! I'm Professor Millsburry! Welcome to Bending Basics 101! This semester you will learn the most common offensive and defensive techniques benders use in battle! If you open up your books you will see diagrams of different bending stances, and common moves used in dueling! In this class we will only learn about these moves, but if you look at your schedule you should also be taking a class specifically for your bending type, and you should also be enrolled in a dueling course where you will get to use what you learn in your other two classes! So the things you learn in this course are very essential to your bending careers, so pay very very close attention!" The professor explained.

I glanced at my schedule.

Stella Vix Year 1
First Period: Bending Basics 101
Second Period: Water Bending 101
Third Period: Dueling 101

"If you look on page one you can see common bending poses." The professor performed some of the different poses in real life. Some students giggled.

"You think this is funny??! It's not going to be funny when you have to duel someone and walk out there looking like a dimwit!" The professor scoffed slamming the handbook on his desk.
