Secrets Of The Circle

Chapter 7-First Day At Oakwood

Friends are like stars in the night. They make the darkest hour turn into a ballet of night.

I was awoken by the sounds of an alarm clock. Why would anyone even think of bringing an alarm clock here I thought to myself. I felt heavy and sluggish after yesternight's meal but I knew I had to try my best and get my day started since this my first time here. I can just imagine how today might be like,would it be boring, interesting, fun or hectic, I laid on the bed still wondering how life at this place might be. Was I even going to be placed in the same class with other supernaturals or be in a class that's filled with people of my kind I kept wondering.

"It seems someone is refusing to get up and start her first day at school", said a voice I recognized immediately.

I intentionally gave a loud yawn to prove that I was already up. I was astonished to see everyone set up already and neatly dressed up in their uniform except for me.

"What's going on here and what's up with the new uniform you guys are wearing ?",I asked glazing at them.

"Well as I said earlier it seems someone here has missed a lot today ",Alison said beating around the bush.

"Why don't you get out of bed and start preparing for classes whilst I pack your books for you but first you need to hand over your times table to me ", said Taylor.

I quickly reached for it and handed it to her. "Thanks" I said, as I jumbed down from my bed making my head hit the floor with a dull thud. "Don't worry,  I'm fine", I said to assure them that I was even though I knew I wasn't . I tried to regain my strength from the fall and my eyes suddenly fell upon the two most coolest uniforms have ever seen.

"Are those mine?", I asked expecting an answer from anyone.

"Yep, they're yours, Taylor got them from the seamstress herself", said Alison .

"Thanks Taylor", I said.

Wait.since. when. do.we .have .a .seamstress. here", I asked once again. Nobody answered so instead I just shrugged my shoulders at them and kept admiring my new school uniforms. As I took a second look at the two uniforms which were neatly ironed and worned on their dummies. I noticed both were of different colours but I realized the twins and Taylor were in a specific one and this uniform had a check blue skirt, a white top, a long black petticoat with a blue string around its neckline.

"Why are there two different uniforms before me?", I asked turning to Taylor's direction.

"You have nothing to worry about Katherine cos both are prescribed wears. I also two different uniforms its just up to which one you would prefer to wear for the day", she said answering my question as expected.
I took another glance at both uniforms but this time at the second one opposite the first one. This uniform was just perfect in everyway. It has a check red skirt, a white top, a long brown petticoat with a check red neck tie. A filigree brooch was attached to it. Since my favorite was red so I decided to go with the idea of wearing this uniform.

"I can see you've already made up your mind on which one to wear", Taylor said from behind me.

"Yes", I replied saying as I quickly dashed into the bathroom to finally take my bath before my day began.
I began dressing up after my bath in my new uniform and it fitted me perfectly, in addition to it I wore my special boots and gave my hair the french plait hair-do, took my rucksack as Taylor and I took to our heel outside the dorm.

The air around us smelt of lemon and lavender and that got my spirit heated up already.

"So what do we do next ?",I asked Taylor looking confused at which direction we had pass next.

"Well this is what we do next", she said.

We depart ways and go to our various classes, which is, you go have your healing class whilst I've my shifting class. Later we meet at the cafeteria to have breakfast, and after that, we join both the English and History class together. We go have sports, and probably meet at the gallery . We end our day by returning to the dorm before we head back to the cafeteria once again to have lunch.

"Wow that's nice Taylor", you're just the best I said hugging her tightly, "but how did you know all those  schedules for today", I asked once again.

"Well let's just say your times table helped a bit ", she answered smiling as dimple appeared on her rosy cheeks making her look like an adorable cute little kitten.

"Alright I see ",I said answering back.

"Guess I have to start searching for my class then ", I said departing from her.

"Yeah I guess I also have to do the same as well", she answered saying.

We bade each other goodbye as we both departed ways to our different classes. I had no idea where the healing class was and I knew I was probably running late, maybe I should just ask for directions or maybe not. I made up my mind to keep walking until I got there because I assured myself I could get there on my own. I walked passed six laboratories and twelve dormitories, but I was still no where near my class. I began feeling exhausted at the long walk I made myself go through,  on the other hand I couldn't always be asking for directions as well, somehow I had to know every corner of this place on my own. I decided to take the stairs up to the fourth floor, lo and behold I finally found my class. I inhaled  deeply as I walked into my class for the first time.
