Chapter Forty Two
Where It All Began

(Nobody's Pov!)

         The icy cold air filled his lungs as he stepped out of the car, his fathers hand on his shoulder. He let out a deep sigh and his breath could be seen due to how cold it was.

"Don't seem so upset! This is a momentous occasion! You were accepted late into the semester you should be ecstatic!" His father, spoke causing him to glare out of the side of his eye.

"Oh come on, Phil. Don't look at me like that." His dad said, frowning as Phil rolled his eyes. He ran his fingers back his long spiky brown hair before staring up at the large academy before him.

"You're a talented young man! You should use your talents to become a hero. I know you'll be something great, son." Phil's father said, trying to encourage his son to try for once. Philip groaned in annoyance and walked through the gates his father following him.

"Chrysanthemum Academy! A brilliant school for brilliant young minds! It's so amazing, truly. I wish I could've gone here, but it's simply not in the cards for me." Phil's father spoke, heading towards the office of the school to help his son get settled in.

As they arrived at the office they were greeted by a friendly woman at the desk. She smiled widely upon seeing the new arrival.

"Oh finally! We're happy to have you here, Mr. Flameburghs." The lady spoke, causing Phil to grunt in acknowledgement.

"Oh yes! We're very happy that you accepted him this late! Aren't we, Phil?" His father asked, looking over at his son who still seemed rather standoffish.

"It's alright to be nervous! Our school has always been very welcoming! I've already got a student coming to help show you around." The lady at the desk spoke, a kind smile on her face.

"Alright! I'll see you soon, Phil! Be sure to write and come visit!" His father spoke, forcing his son into a hug. Phil once again rolled his eyes, annoyed that he even had to attend this school.

"Excuse me Is my father in here?" A soft feminine voice asked, as a gentle young lady walked into the office.

"Oh! Hello Masuyo! Mr. Price is in his office right now! Go on in, darling!" The lady spoke, causing Masuyo to smile and bow her head.

"Thank you!" She replied to the lady behind the desk. She walked through the office, heading straight for her fathers room. Her dark brown hair up in a tight bun while her brown eyes fixated on the door. Suddenly she glanced over to spot Phil standing there menacingly.

"Oh? Is this the new student?" She stopped dead in her tracks to ask. "Yes! This is Phil Flameburghs." The lady behind the desk answered.

"It's nice to meet you, Phil. I hope you feel welcome here." Masuyo spoke, smiling politely before continuing to walk to her father's office. Phil seemed slightly annoyed by her, but she actually seemed kind. He couldn't sense a single hint of malice or ill intent from her words. Phil didn't respond to her words, but he seemed slightly calmer than before.

That's when the office door opened again revealing another student. Phil rolled his eyes as he assumed it would be the one showing him around. He just wanted to get this day over with so he could go to his dorm.

"I'm here!" A happy feminine voice called out, busting through the door. "Jennifer, this is Phil. He's our new student! I was hoping you could show him around today!" The lady behind the desk said, smiling widely. As soon as Phil laid his eyes on her he was taken aback. Jennifer had long brown hair and shimmering green eyes. She tilted her head when she noticed that Phil had been staring at her intently.
