Amber trembled as she crossed the stone bridge, she kept on tightening her dark hair into a ponytail over and over again, indicating she was nervous. Amber's friend Kai went over to her and Evelyn, walking slightly faster, so they could cross the bridge together.
Why? Because, only a few meters above the student's heads, giant monsters with long necks loomed above. The monsters were entirely made out of water but still were very life-like. As they crossed, following Principal Williams, the monsters wailed and screeched, staring at them until one suddenly came crashing down as though trying to attack. Amber closed her eyes, bracing for her and the other student's death. Then she heard a bang. The monster had crashed onto some invisible barrier. Surrounding the school was another identical force field that prevented intruders from entering. Principal Williams looked back at the fearful students.
"Scared?" She asked with a little smile on her face.
They continued crossing the bridge. Amber still felt quite uncomfortable with all the monsters watching her and the students cross. Amber was still wondering why she had to go to this school. Her parents had told her it was to strengthen her power of enhanced speed and telling the future through visions. After they successfully crossed, the giant door opened. The inside was huge! It looked like a giant castle with pillars and balconies with students wearing pink and gray uniforms everywhere. Directly across from the main entrance was a symmetrical door that Amber guessed led to the food court.
There were also two halls left and right of the front entrance.
The whole school or, perhaps palace was made of stone the color of pink with gold details on arches and pillars. The roof was maybe forty to fifty feet high, and above them hung a giant glass chandelier. Right above the door to the canteen was a balcony with two curved staircases leading up. Directly above the Dining hall door was a smaller door that probably led to a private quarters.
"Now students," said Principal Williams, sneaking up on the group from behind. "Now hurry up, don't be delayed! I'm giving you a tour of the Academy!" Principal Williams walked toward the right hallway as the students followed her.
"Here we have History, Anthropology, Computer science, Engineering, Biology, Psychology, Chemistry, Physics, Biochemistry, and other classes that mimic college majors but simplified for 6th through 12th grade." She said, raising an arm towards the hall.
The hall was also pink. Amber noticed that the classrooms all
looked like little cottages. There was a white door and a window on the wall, they even had a white roof! The students got to explore and look into all the classrooms looking at their stuff through the windows. After they toured the left hall which was Education, Art, Art History, Music, Communications, Finance, Mathematics, Language arts, Economics, Astronomy, and the Library."

As Amber was looking around and exploring the Library, she accidentally bumped into another student.
"Ow" said the student.
Amber turned around. "Sorry, " she quickly said.
"It's fine, I was too busy looking around too." said the student.
"I'm Jayden by the way" he said, extending a hand.
"Amber," Amber said, shaking it. That's when Amber realized something.
Jayden and Evelyn look so similar to each other, I would have thought they were twins! Jayden had similar blonde hair and blue eyes to Evelyn but not the exact same. Jayden's hair was slightly darker and his eyes were more of a muted blue than icy blue. Plus,
