One week had gone by. Still, I had been proven wrong. So here i was. New Year. New, Me? No, I couldn't change even if i wanted to. My proud parents were pleased i didn't even budge. However, I had no other choice.

We drove, I liked how gloomy the forest was. I fidgeted with my uniform, which i didn't like very much. I expected, much better for a school whose whole thing was not being normal.  Mother placed her hand on my shoulder comfortingly.

I liked typing my thoughts down. I had my own physical diary, but i kept my secrets in my computer, where nobody would find them, Call me paranoid, but i would prefer my secrets not being open to the world.

I look up, the gate for Nevermore had been eerie, but i surprisingly, liked the eeriness. Mom noticed. "See? You'll like this school, She assures me. "Maybe, I replied. "You never know, Mom." She smiles.

I looked up. The school looked very pretty, But I shouldn't suddenly believe i would like my new boarding school. "We'll call you whenever possible, but we will check up on you through texting, Dad explained.

I nodded, i remind myself, i could handle being here. If I don't lose my temper. I mean, i can control my power now. A very tall woman stood there. She smiled. She seemed nice, or her aura did, I could be wrongly judging her right now.

"Welcome to Nevermore! She greeted. "I've heard so much about you. Your family has been going here for generations." I simply smile. "Larissa Weems Mom said. "You became Principal?" "Yes Indeed, She replied.

awkward silence.

Mom hugs me, so does my father, before leaving.  We walked, I look down anxiously. I didn't like socializing, let alone with Principals. She notices my shyness. "I had been told you're quite shy, She said.

I nod."I suppose so. Never had friends, Normies don't really, enjoy... different people." "Here is your dorm, She stops. My own room? I might like this school already. "I hope you will make yourself at home here, Principal Weems still smiled.

"I will, I assure her. I hoped. She finished, "You begin tomorrow." "Okay, I replied. I was left by myself, I made my room look more, homely as possible. I hear my door open, I jump. "Sorry, She said.

i turn around, confusedly. "I came to check up on our new student, She grinned.  She had long red hair, having glasses, she held a plant in hand. "Okay, I said. "Oh uh, My name is Ms. Thornhill, She introduced. "Dorm Mom of Ophelia Hall. Which, is lovely."

"I, uh mhm, I nervously spoke. We talk for a minute before she leaves. Finally, silence. I yawned, I had grown exhausted. I plop down on my bed, closing my eyes, falling asleep.

- -

I groan, waking up early. I knew because the moon still lit. I check. 3 in the morning. I rub my eyes, Maybe I should wake up. My very first day.  "Be calm, you have hours before school, I whisper.

I change, i had been in uniform. I look in my mirror, tomorrow, I would be in Uniform, Miserable, maybe, i knew i would finally, fit in. No more insults, no more, being considered a monster which i had heard many times before.

So, I've accepted I might be one.

I fell back asleep in ordinary, pjs. But when i woke up, I got changed. I was early still, but the good kind. I wanted to make a good first impression, which didn't work out so well last time.  I inhale, before exhaling.

I grabbed my book bag, gripping nervously. Calm down, I thought. But the moment I stepped in the hallway, I mentally panicked. Physically, I seemed fine. A girl squeals, coming up to me."Oh my gosh! You must be (Name)!"

"Mhm, How did you know? I asked. She smiles, her appearance screamed outgoing and bubbly, which wasn't bad.  "Everyone knows, silly! I'm Enid, Enid Sinclair! She pulls her hand out, i shake her hand.

"Nice meeting you, Enid, I um, do you know where this class is? I ask her, embarrassingly. She looks, before nodding. "I have it too, Come on! I can walk with you!" I nodded. I wondered why Enid went here. She seemed quite normal.

I shouldn't assume. Enid cheerfully walked beside me. "You kind of remind me of Wednesday, My dormmate, Only much more nicer, She said. I blink in confusion. "Wednesday? Cool Name."

"I guess so, she is slightly odd, Enid explained. I shrug. "Nothing wrong with being odd." She checks fhe time, we still had time, i prefer being early. She grabs my hand. I wince in pain. "Sorry! Enid pulls back."i kind of forgot."

Did she... scratch me?

Enid holds up her hand." I'm a werewolf. Hence my nails." Ohh. "No worries, I replied, kindly. "So what did you want to show me?" "Follow me, Enid said. I nod, following behind her. We end up in her dorm.

I look over. Wednesday's side. "Oh, I said, in surprise. She nodded. "I see nothing weird, I replied. "But i suppose. Could we go now? For Class, i mean?"  Enid smiles." Of course."  I was slightly taken aback by her kindness, but she might be my first friend.  

I learned from Enid we could go into town. Which i could use later. Not for any reasons which involved me running, but, shopping, books, etc... I enter class, sitting where I could be invisible. God, i wish i had that power.

Enid sits beside me, not surprised. "You should be... She begins. "No, I interrupt." Sorry. I just knew what you were going to say." "Oh my gosh! Do you read minds? She asked. I laughed. "No, I just knew. My power is telekinesis, actually."

"Still so cool! You know, Rowan has that power too! So, why come here when school began almost a month ago? Enid asked. "Call it an emergency, I simply smile. She nodded.  Kids rush in, I could only hope, i could be finally not judged for once.

One could hope, right?
