Wassup guys??? It's me and I'm back with the first proper chapter of star crossed haters.I know invisible string is cringey and crappy and I promise you this will be better. 

ENJOY THE FIRST CHAPTER<33333


*Magnus's pov* 

"It's nice to meet you...Magnus black." They have a velvet smooth voice that gives off an ominous tone

"W-who are you?! How do you know my name?" I spit

"You don't need to know that yet." She says,adjusting her glasses

All I can see is the silhouette of their body and their magenta eyes.

"We've heard about and your...let's say 'talents'.And we've heard about your sisters condition." 

"What does that have to do with this conversation?"I growl and I think her lips curl into a smirk 

"We'd like to help you out,Magnus-" 

"And what do I have to do in return?" 

"Join our academy, it's simple."They explain 

"What...academy?" 

"You'll see. You have one day to decide,if you agree we'll pick you up at 12:00pm sharp and take you to the pier.You'll be taking a boat to the academy." 

"And what if I don't?" 

"Take care,Magnus black." 

They turn on their heels and their gone.Their words echo through my mind. 

We'd like to help you out Magnus.We'd like to help you out-we'd like too... 

Who was that and why was she so secretive?Who knows what kinds of things I'd be getting myself into?But...Emily's condition is getting worse. 

So...if I have to, I'll do it...for her.

"Emily.Come on,wake up." 

I whisper and gently shake her shoulder 

"Emily." 

"Hmm?" 

"I have great news: someone decided to cover the cost of your treatment!"I explain 

Emily's eyes widen 

"Really?Yay!" My sister squeals 

"But in return I'll have to go to their school." 

"Oh.Really? That's great!" 

School doesn't sound appealing to me.The thought of thousands of kids crammed into one place at the same time.Kids that may be cruel and judgemental.But none of that matters,Emily recovering is my priority. 

"We'll be picked up at 12:00pm and taken to the pier.We'll be taken by boat." I explain 

"Wow!We get to go on a boat!So cool!" 

"Mm."

-12:00pm- 


The person that comes to pick us up is the one that came to pick us up in the night.Her is cut in a bob she has magenta eyes and has rouge pink glasses.She's carrying a silver briefcase in her hand.She's wearing a grey blazer and trousers and has a black jumper. 

"My name is Kravitz,nice to meet you."Kravitz holds out her hand,expecting me to shake it.But instead I bat it away.

"Yeah,yeah whatever, let's just do this."  

"My name's Emily!And it's nice to meet you!"Emily says 

"She didn't ask,Emily." 

She smiles at Emily and then glares at me and grits her teeth and then unexpectedly smiles and says in a sweet tone 

"Okay then,come with me."  

"Yay!We get to go on a boat!" 

 




I nudge Emily lightly. I hate being seen as vulnerable and unfortunate. We may not have everything but we have each other and that's all we need.

I attempt peeling the plaster that I've had on my face for the past couple of days. I stop because it starts bleeding again and I swipe the blood off my face with my fingers and wipe them down on my shorts. The train rumbles and the wind gushes past. The brakes of the train squeal as it comes closer to the platform. The amber headlights illuminate the dark tunnel. I grip Emily's hand tight. We squeeze past the other people. I clasp onto the maroon poles. The experience is uncomfortable having strangers squashing you. It feels like we're going to melt because of the heat. Well, now I know that public transport isn't all that great and it sometimes lacks air conditioning. After the crowd of people dies down, I take a seat. I feel slightly nauseous and can't wait to get off. 

We arrive at our destination and get off. Once we exit the station we feel a cool breeze. The golden sphere in the sky beams down on us. The sky is ocean blue, contrasting with the weather from Los Volmos.

"How long till we get there?" The pier is a five-minute walk from here. And the journey on the boat will take some time." The azure waves gleam under the glorious beams of golden sunlight. The bridge stretches out before our eyes. In the distance, I spot a glimpse of something, sailing slowly towards us. "Our boat will be arriving in," The secretive lady rolls up her sleeve, "1:48 seconds." "How can you be so sure?"In exactly 1:48 minutes, the boat arrives"It's so big! And fancy!" Emily exclaims "It's a catamaran boat, to be precise," Kravitz explains The fact that the academy can even afford something like this is suspicious."Come on !" Kravitz insists. My stomach coils into a tighter knot. The boat is better on the inside. Everything we could never dream of. The floor is chocolate brown. The window spans from the left to right to the front. A cream sofa is placed on the right and the black and brown counter is placed opposite. On the outside, there are more counters, a sink, and a dishwasher. "How can they afford it?" I mumble "We have our ways." Kravitz smirks "Wow!" Emily yells. She dashes around, jumping on the sofa. Then, she jumps off and ducks under the table. She emerges from the other side, grinning. I bite back a smile at Kravitz's scowl."You are to stay here and only here. Am I understood?" Kravitz snarls."Yes," Emily confirms and sits quietly on the sofa, swinging her legs back and forth and focusing on the ocean. I push the subtle but nagging feeling of unease.I may not know much about schools, but they aren't that rich unless they're private or boarding. And the other faculty members have heard about Emily and me and wanted to recruit me. So, why me? What was it that Kravitz said to me? Right: "We've heard about you and your ...let's say 'talents'" So my talents are stealing. So, according to my knowledge and assumptions, this school is related to crime. We're offered a pink liquid in a cup with a lemon and a yellow umbrella.I sip some. The sweet flavors mingle with zestiness. I pinch my elbow. Crimson liquid trickled down the side. Everything in my life is about to change, for the better or worse. A/N: Hey guys! Sorry, this took so long! So you know, chapters every Saturday. I may or may upload before that, or more than one chapter, but there will be at LEAST one chapter every Saturday. I feel like this chapter is somewhat better than Invisible String (Don't ask me how it got 1.1k views, idk either), Or maybe it's longer. Thanks for reading! <3
