ME, INSIDE OUT

CHAPTER 5

"I wish my family was like that. I guess i can only wish. I miss my brother," she said. She reminisced all her childhood memories.

She missed her family. She just wanted to turn back time.

"Whatever, this is the last one. Let's see... Supernatural," she said. She entered the genre. She pressed the button. She got transported into the world again.

Her name is Exora. She was abandoned by her parents. She's a hybrid. She's living with the witches, it read.

"Alright, time to go," she said. She pressed the start button. She opened her eyes and she was in a cabin.

She looked around and saw the witches. "Exora, time to eat," one of the witches said. She stood up and went to the table.

They ate dinner together. After dinner, she decided to do watch some television. One of the witches sat beside her.

"Aunty Grisella, where are my parents?" She asked. "They're busy. They can't come home yet," she said. "When will they come home?" She asked. "Soon, little one," she smiled.

Everyday she would ask the witches the same question. They would give her the same answer. She would believe it and held out hope that her parents would come back.

When she turned 18, she stopped believing. She knew that her parents were never gonna come for her.

One day, she was helping the witches fold clothes. "I want to move out," she said. "Why? Where do you want to go?" Grisella asked.

"I want to explore the world. I want to be independent. I want to go to Hollow Grove," she said. They were surprised to hear this but they didn't question it any further.

"Take care of yourself, little one," Grisella hugged her. "I will. I'll be leaving at dawn tomorrow," she smiled. They all hugged her.

The next morning, she said her goodbyes and waved at them. She hoped to see them again.

She went to Hollow Grove. She went back to her origins. I need to find out who i really am, she thought. She wants to search for answers. She enrolled in a school.

She walked in. Everybody was looking at her. She felt weird. Why is everybody looking at me? She thought. She found this odd.

Then, somebody approached her. "Hey, you must be new here," the girl said. "Yeah, i'm Exora," she introduced herself. "I'm Violet. You can call me Vi," she smiled.

Violet studied her face closely. "What's wrong?" Exora asked. "You look familiar," Vi said. "What?" She looked confused. "It's nothing. Anyways, let me take you to your class," she said.

Exora followed Vi. Caleb was watching her from behind. "Hey, what are you looking at?" Oliver asked. "At the new girl," he said.

He couldn't keep his eyes off of her. "Do you like her?" Oli asked. "No," he said and walked away. Oli shook his head. He doesn't want to admit it, he thought.

Vi walked in with Exora. "Hey, guys," Vi waved to her friends. "Is that the new girl?" Ian asked.

"Yep, this is Exora. That's Ian, Kira, Ryland and Lara," she introduced everybody. They all said hi to her.

"Where did you transfer from?" Kira asked. "Uphill Creek," she said. Everybody was shocked. Uphill Creek was a place for witches. They decided to keep quiet.

"Alright, students, take your seats," the teacher came in. They all took their seats. It was lunch. She didn't go to the cafeteria. Instead, she went to the roof.

She decided to lie down. She closed her eyes. "What's the new girl doing alone?" Caleb asked. "Well, not anymore now that you're here. Can you leave me alone now?" She said, annoyed.
