The Winged Ones

Chapter 3; Angel Academy

Garret opened the big golden gate to the academy, and then we waltzed on in.

The inside was beautiful. The walls, seemed to be dark oak with spruce grand stairs that branch of left and right, to different corridors. On my left there was a big, fancy oak door, with a sign above it that says, 'Dinner Hall and Entrance Hall.' Then on my right, there is two doors, the same style as the door on the left. The one near the back wall, has a sign that says, 'Classes A1-A25 and Cafe.' Then the next door that is closest to us, has a sign on in that says,'Classes B1-B25 and Libray'

"So, I'm guessing that we have to go to the door on the left to the entrance hall?" I asked him.

"Wow. Look who's catching up so quickly!" Garret teased me.

"Ha, ha, ha."I laughed and followed him threw the huge door and walked down the hall filled with different paintings about different things.

"So, what are these paintings about?" I asked Garret, looking at him.

"Different events in our history. Like wars and other stuff." He said shrugging.

"Ah."I said nodding my head. It seemed after that our conversation has stopped. We just looked forward as we walked, until we stopped in front of a door.

"Here it is. Your on your own now," Garret said turning and walking away, "and just for you to know, just find a seat next to someone nice, that's what I did last week when I came. Also, your lucky. This is the day where admissions end. So. Ya, see you later."

"Um, okay..." I spoke nervously turning away and putting my hand on the door nob and pushing in open, but it didn't work, until I saw the sign that said, 'Pull'

'Wow. Already failed to open a god dam door. I'm so smart.' I thought in my mind, pulling the door open.

Man, the place was full! There was only one seat left that I could see. It was next to a girl who had white hair, and sapphire blue eyes, and had a grey lose crop top on and, what seemed to be sweat pants and running shoes. 'She's like me in a sort-of way. With the hair and eyes kind-of thing.' I said to my self, as I walked toward her.

"Hey, um, is this seat taking or are you saving it?" I asked her.

"Oh, no. Lemme guess, you want to complement my hair and eyes?" She asked.

"No, I kind-of know how you feel." I told her as I sat down in the seat.

"Really? Lemme guess. Ever since you were born, people have been complementing you?" She asked me.

"Yes. Yes. Yes, and yes. I'm guessing the same thing happened to you, huh?" I asked her.

"Yup. So, I guess you are wondering what my name. Well my name is Charlotte. Nice to meet you." She smiled and handed out her hand for a hand shake. Or a high five. Don't really know.....

"Well. nice to meet you, Charlotte. My name is, Amika." I told her shaking her hand. Then she started to lean in to whisper until she was interrupted by a booming voice;

"Welcome! New, students with fresh minds, ready to learn! The entrance will now begin! We'll be going from the right to the left!" 'Shit, I'm like probably second or third.' I thought.

"First, Charlotte Evlewind!" The women called.

Charlotte stood up, and walked down the stairs leading to the stage that the women was standing on.

She held out what seemed to be 4 stones and the colour of them are Blue, Green, Red and Golden. Then, the rocks started to float and circle around Charlotte, then a blinding light came around her. When the light faded the 4 stones went back in to the women's hand and Charlotte just went and sat down next to me.

"So, what happened?" I asked her as she sat down.

" Well, I am waiting for you to go to the room across the hall so we can do the test. Well, It is just to write down what we saw, and the they tell us in two days what type of angels we are. The two days are so we can get used to our surroundings and get to know the place." She said smiling.

Then that's when I heard it. My name.

"Amika Folks" She called. Shaking, I stood up, and felt someone grabbing my arm. I looked back to see Charlotte whisper, "Don't worry, and when you done, meet me by the doors. Okay?"

"Okay." I replied.

Walking down those stairs was probably thee most nervous time ever. 'What if I don't see anything? What if I am actually DEAD?! What if this is a dream?' I thought in my mind still walking down the stairs, 'Actually. It wouldn't be that bad if I was dreaming...'

I got to the stage and walked up and faced the crowd. In the distance, I saw Charlotte give a thumbs up. She's kind-of a friend to me. You know, since my one and only friend turned on me, and started to be a total jack-ass to me. I just hope it doesn't happen with me and Charlotte, but we actually have all lot of things in common, so I think we will be friend forever.

Anyway, the women held out her hands and then, the rocks started to float around me and spin around me so much that I started to get dizzy. The the colours of the stone started to make a line appear, like when you drive down the high way and the street lights make a line. Then the flash of light appeared, and I saw so many things in flashes. One of the flashes that I saw was me, with my family, being happy. Then another flash was me standing up to Brooklyn, Michelle, Brittany and Becca, who were bulling a person. Then another was me, having my friend back to normal of what ever happened to her, and us laughing and having fun together. Then, the light ended, and the women gestured me off stage.

I walked over to Charlotte and she asked, " Are you ready?"

"Yes. Yes I am." I replied.
