ENCHANTED 《Vol 1-2》

*The following morning*

A loud thud in her room startled Alyssa, who slowly opened her eyes to see Camille holding a frying pan and a spatula, which she continued to smash in their ears until they woke up.

"Would you please stop that! People are trying to sleep, and you're here disturbing their bedtime," Alyssa said, half sleeping.

"You girls need to wake up! It's school time, and we don't want to be late on our first day of the semester!" Camille said as she yanked them out of their mattresses.

"But," Alyssa grumbled, still half sleeping, "I want to sleep more."

Jelyn grumbled, "I need my beauty sleep, and if I don't get it, I get grouchy."

"You may sleep in the classroom," Camille replied, tapping her shoes at us. "But right now, we really need to wake up because we have a flag ceremony to catch up on, remember?"

"I need to get ready, I forgot that we have a flag ceremony every morning. Jelyn, get ready! I hope Clydesdale and the rest of the boys are there," Alyssa screamed for Jelyn as she rushed into the bathroom to change. After a few minutes, she emerged in her uniform, looking beautiful.

"Wow, that was quick; I suppose I should've said Clydesdale sooner if this was the reason for her getting up so early," Camille sarcastically observed as she entered the bathroom to change.

"Where is my bag?! Has anybody seen my bag!" Alyssa said as she searched everywhere, looking a hot mess. "Dang it! Where is it?" she yelled as she pondered.

While gathering her belongings and uniform, Jelyn said, "Have you checked your closet, sometimes it's in there."

Alyssa hastily searched her closet and discovered her bag, laughing foolishly. "I found it! Thank you, Jelyn!" she said.

"No problem," Jelyn said. "Has anyone seen my lip gloss? I promise, I just placed it under my desk," she inquired as she continued to search beneath her desk.

"Check your handbag! You always have it in there, you never take it out!" Camille said as she emerged from the restroom, her uniform still on and her hair still drying.

"Found it! Thank you, Camille," Jelyn said as she thanked Camille and dashed inside the restroom.

Camille ponders as she puts on her cosmetics, "Have you awakened up Abegail and Anne yet? They should be ready by now."

"No, I haven't. I'll go wake them up right now otherwise we'll be late for the flag ceremony," Alyssa said, standing up and heading to the girls' room.

"Hey, folks, you ready? We're about to depart, it's flag ceremony today and we don't want to be late," she remarked as she peered through the door as she walked to check on the females. "Guys, you here," she whispered hesitantly as she began to look about inside.

She became concerned about the girls and searched the room for them with no success. She was ready to leave when she came across a message with the girls' photos and a Scorpion sign painted in blood smears. She screamed in terror and hurried out of the room, screaming and panicked. Fortunately, she ran across Camille, who was concerned and perplexed.

"Hey, hey, is everything alright? I was ready to grab you since you were taking too long. Are you okay? You seem pale," Camille said, her face anxious and puzzled.
