Ashton's POV:
I sat up in bed trying to process what had just occured. I was just beginning to fully process my surroundings. What I felt under my fingertips was a cloth, a bedsheet to be exact. Now why would there be a bedsheet in a forest. Why am I in a forest to begin with? Wait a second...I'm not in a forest. I finally realized where I was after waking up from that terrible nightmare. I never had one like that before. I reached for my nightstand only to knock it over off the table. "Great just wonderful!" Danny shifted a little bit in her sleep and mumbled "Shut up Ashton. No one cares if you are wearing a bunny suit...." I just stared at her. Now she is having a weird dream I thought. Now why would I be in a bunny suit. I've never worn a bunny suit in my life except for that time that....ohhhh nevermind. I've worn a bunny suit ugh why do I have to now remember that. I never wanted to remember that...stupid Danny mumbling in her sleep. Well at least I didn't wake her up.
I shakily got out of bed to pick up the lamp. My feet connecting with the cold hardwood floors created a chill that traveled up my spine. My heavy breathing still hadn't subsided after all that awful nightmare. What was that even about anyway? I picked up the lamp and plugged it in and turned it on. It flickered on to illuminate my half of the room to reveal the letter from the mail sitting on my nightstand. I picked it up as I tried to calm myself.
It was a letter of invitation to Elixir Academy to their Special Arts Program. I fiddled with the paper still in shock of the nightmare and also of having recieved this. I was no genius when it came to school and I didn't especially stand out from the crowd receiving awards and winning competitions so I still didn't process as to why I would get such a invitation.
Elixir Academy is known all over the world for it's amazing programs and it's geniuses. Many people get rejected even when having all the credentials.
Now was is puzzling me is the fact that I received such a letter. I'm a straight A student and I've joined a couple of clubs here and there but other than that I keep a low profile. I mean why didn't Danny get picked she is the Validvictorian of the school, ranked 1st. She's a pure genius when it comes to anything except when it comes to cooking. I'm average nothing special. And to top it all off she's a beautiful blond blue eyed girl who has an amazing personality. However I'm quiet around people, I'm only myself around Danny and it took me a 2 years to be myself. When Danny first moved to the foster home and became my roommate I didn't talk to her at all except for the occasional excuse me. and sorry. Now I know I must sound like I'm patronizing myself but it's the truth. I've kept a low profile because I don't want to burden anyone and get in their way. I rubbed at my name on the font of the envelope trying to see if there was some trick to it. Was my name just going to rub off and dissappear and underneath it would say gotcha this was all a joke.
I put the letter down and curled myself into a ball not even bothering to pull the covers over me. I clutched pillow trying to will myself to sleep. The paranoia from the dream having subsided long ago only to be replaced with anxiousness. Would I even consider going to such a school? It was a boarding school after all and I have lived here all my life. I have known nothing else. And why would this letter come now? Elixir Academy is for 9th to 12th graders and I'm an 11th grader. Isn't the letter kind of late? Would I even really want to consider such a high grade school? Not much is known about the school anyway, is it even worth it? Did they make a mistake? Is there another Ashton Grimlocke out there somewhere who is some super genius who didn't receive his/her letter? And not even that the Academy is all the way in England! I live in North Carolina. The academy isn't right around the corner exactly.
Yet I was invited to the Special Arts Program. I had never heard of such a program and what did that even mean? Elixir Academy is the cream of the crop as Mrs. Timbleworthe Timbleworthe would say. According to the letter I would be participating in this program due to to my outstanding combatibility with their unique program whatever that meant. I fell asleep pondering all these questions.
