A Black and White touch

There's a first time for everything, but chemistry???? Really sucks

The new school year was announching itself splendidly with blue skies and not a single cloud in sight, but for Topaz Blanko it seemed more like a storm was ready to hit her. She knew her new school would be different, because she was starting highschool this year, but she didn't expect she had to move out to go to her new school. She didn't expect to go to the most prestigious school in the country eighter, but her parents surprised her with this "great" gift only a day before she had to leave.
They were happy they were finally going to have a normal life without her, a colored one.
You see, ever since she was little Topaz had an unusual way of making the colors run away from her, literally. Everything she touched became black and white. Not the skin ofcourse, but clothes, jewelry, furniture. You name it and it was black and white in a jiffy.
She was always laughted at, because of her strange black and white hair too. Long or short, dyed or not, it was always black and white and the kids used to hate her for it, reminding her constantly that she was different from the rest of them.
It was like a curse for the whole family to be stuck in a black and white movie, but lucky them. They soon found out of this place, RovenTree High, an elite academy which was made to prepare the youngsters for a bright future where every special talent was appreciated and I mean every special talent.
So they signed her up at the chemistry course and now look at her, bright and early, ready to go.
She took a look around her empty room and saw nothing alluring. Just black and white and sometimes grey. Boring and simply plain. She sighed and took a look over her luggages. Nothing was there to hold her back. No friends, no social status, not even a true family.

She was by herself in this big world and she will always be. Topaz took a look over her nice clean and also new uniform and couldn't help, but let a sigh escape her lips. That's when her mom entered the room carring with her and little pink box tied with red ribbon. She was playing the nice mom card now, so Topaz knew she was only faking her affection.

"Let's get this over with mom"

"What's the matter darling? Already cranky? But it is only 9 am in the morning and I had such a nice mother-daughter event planned for us. Dear don't you want your gift darling?"

"Whatever"

Topaz took the box into her little hands and watched it change from pink to white and the big red bow became as black as night. She watched it changing with indiference and opened the box revealing a siver necklace with a sky blue pendant. She felt sad watching such a beautiful gift and imagining her influence over the magic jewel.

"What are you waiting dear? Try it on. Be fearless" said her mother watching her pick it in her hand and giving it to her to put it around it's neck.

It lasted for a second,but she felt her mother's warm hand touching her by mystake on the neck. She couldn't help, but smile knowing that such thing could happen to her. The hand was gone and so was her mother's event. It happened so fast, she didn't get the chance to enjoy it too much, but she wasn't going to start crying like a baby. She was bigger than that and recently passed her exams, so she stood there in front of the woman she called mom and fakely said:
"Thanks mom for the nice gift"
"No, I thank God for your exil... I... umm... love. Yea that's the word I am going to use... for now anyway"
After her mother was gone, she took her black backpack and took out a pamflet about her future life.
Pictures about nicely dressed kids and a large victorian style building. Everything was screaming the opossite of what she expected, but it seemed she didn't get the chance to choose her path. At least she will be away from her fake family and it's contagiously boring surroundings.
She left in such a hurry that she didn't a notice a very peculiar thing: her necklace never lost it's color, but she was to scared to take a look over her beautiful piece of jewelry. She was going to miss her bus and that my friends was the only thing she couldn't do. Her parents anyway exiled her out of their kingdom, so if she missed her chance, the dark and gloomy street would become her new bedroom.
"I am not about to risk my whole life for a few extra checks. Thanks a lot stupid little voice inside my head. Because of you I am probably gonna loose my chance to be a scientist, but now that I think about it, it is not what I want anyway"
In the bus station she was all alone. A 14 years old girl without no one dear or without any friends. Just a passing ghost. A forgotten soul and many many depressing things I can't even say.
She looked at the people around her. Little girls with their moms and families waiting for their busses together bounded by more than blood line.
"What do I have anyway? No friends, no life, no family. Just me myself and I... forever"
"Maybe we can add a new friend to your list?"
Topaz turned around scared by the voice behind her. The person was a girl with long blond hair and shiny blue eyes. She was wearing a different type of uniform, a nicer one in fact with lots and lots of emblems and pins. She was like one of these cookie sellers, but with a nicer ettire. The girl then took Topaz's hand and introduced herself
"My name is Cynthia and I am glad to meet another student at our academy, Roventree Prep. What grade are you?"
"I am just starting high school, so I am not at Roventree Prep. I am at Roventree high... for now anyway."
"I thought I knew the uniform from somewhere. You are smaller than me. I am your future teacher actually. Guess I thought you were a teacher too or at least an older student. You are so proper dressed"
"Well I never thought of you as a teacher eighter, but I guess life is a surprising thing. And trust me, the proper dress code is not my choice. Black and white suits me pretty well, so well that in fact it won't leave me alone"
"You will study under my wing this year, so prepare yourself. I am quite a tough teacher. Chemistry right?"
"Yes, but how did you know? You don't even know me. Not even my name"
"Let's just say that this introduction is a formality to me, dear Topaz" she said and left her standing in the bus station alone.
"Were you..." but the weird teacher was already gone. She must have taken the bus while she wasn't looking.
She had a lot of questions, but for once she felt like this whole RovenTree High experience won't be as easy as she expected.
Fear creeped deep deep down into her mind, fear of the strange woman and fear of everything she will fiind out there. She even wondered who will she meet and who will become her new and only friends.
