ASTRAL UNIVERSITY

Part 3-Pisces

"Pi, wake up! We're here!"
I reluctantly open my eyes, and sunlight hits me straight in the eyes.
I blink twice, before noticing the view in front of me.
It's overwhelmingly beautiful.
There's a grand arch, with a gate of ivy wound around iron, and streams of water gushing the sides.I can see spirals of towers  far off in the distance, and there are different creatures flying in the sky. Dragons leap and land alongside Pegasi and Wyverns.The sky is a crystal blue and as we approach the gate, I can see students flocking around a gorgeous stone carving of a women, a centerpiece in a much more pretty garden.

But then everything goes dark.
I feel a chill pass through me, and my breaths seem aching and shallow.
Then It's hard to breath, and there's this pressure on my chest, squeezing me under until I can't seem to take a breath anymore.
Panic clouds my eyes and my teeth chatter.

Then it goes away.
But it's clear that everyone felt it, they're all inhaling and choking as they come back to their senses.
Only then do I sense the lack of oxygen.
I gasp, and hack till I can finally breathe again.
I look at Libra, worry taking over her eyes.
Before I ask her what happened, we hear and announcement, "Sorry for the I mild inconvenience, it's a mandatory security check." 
Libra widens her eyes and laughs in a very disturbing way before muttering,"Yeah, I agree, it was very mild."

We go through at least 20  security checks before finally entering the school.
My eyes widen. I can't even begin to describe the inside of the school.
We head over to our dorm, house Solis, to settle down.

Our dorm is huge (honestly, everything here seems big) and I spot 4 beds. Apart from me and Lib, looks like we have two other dorm mates.
I start to decorate my side, and Lib her's, when the door opens.
The same girl Lib was flirting with before enters.
She has half black and half white hair, and she's pretty.Really pretty.She could make a straight girl fall for her with those looks.
She just seems to draw attention to herself in a way no one else can.
She waves to me and walks up,"Hi, I'm Leo."
I smile shyly, she's intimidating,"Hey...I..I'm Pisces, but you can call me Pi for short. I love your hair, by the way."
She smiles back and walks up to Lib, "Heyyyyyy, remember me?"
Lib looks back and flutters her eyelashes,"You're kind of hard to forget."

I promptly walk out.
It's too early in the morning (almost afternoon) for that.
How do they do that though?
Is flirting really that easy?
I walk down the hallways, exploring the school and lost in my own thoughts, when I hear my stomach rumbling.

It takes me a while, but I eventually find the cafeteria for my dorm.
I walk up to the line while scanning the menu for anything cheese-related and find cheesecake.
Yum.

Cheese time.
Cheese makes everything better.
All hail cheese and everything with cheese.

I'm lost in my own thoughts, and accidentally bump into the person in front of me.

He's a good head taller than me, and it's almost as if there's a chilling aura that he lets out.
He glares at me, poking holes in my head.
I shiver.
"S...So..S...Sorry..", I meekly mumble, stumbling over my words.
"Watch where you're going", then he turns around.
I hear the counter lady telling him to pick quickly, and I think I catch his name...it's saygimarius or something. I'm just going to call him Sage in my head for short.
Sage looks indecisive, boring holes into each item on display.
Except the cheesecake.
I tap his shoulder, and he glares.
I look down and quickly say, "Um..you should try the cheesecake, it's really...", I trail off as his eyes bore into my soul, the temperature drops a few degrees.
"Sorry",  I mumble, and run away.

Oh my god.
If this is how everyone else is going to be, I may be off to a bad start.
Very bad.
