First Story

The Auditorium Chapter 3

I finally got to school and all I can say is wow. I've never seen so many fairy tale people all in one place. There were lots and they were unique in their own ways. I was amazed of the variety in them. I can't get distracted now. My objective of getting to class on time isn't over yet.
I grabbed a paper out of my basket that had my classes and my locker number on it. I memorized all my classes but I don't know where their exact location is in the school, but fortunately I knew my locker number and combination. I looked up from my paper and I speed walked towards my locker as soon as I ran into this mob of rich people.

"Hey! Watch where your going!", a girl with brown and pink curly hair told me."Are you okay?", another girl with blonde curly hair asked me."Does she know who we are?", another girl who was lemony blonde hair asked her group."No I don't think she does", said a girl with super duper long hair. All the sudden, all the people in the group started asking me too many questions that I couldn't keep up with.

I can't take this anymore. They're annoying me with all these questions. How am I supposed to know them if I just entered the school. Who are they, anyways? I just need to get to class on time, I can't waste my time on them.

"We're the Royals", the girl told me. Wait. The girl is part of their Royal group?! She goes to this school??!! Oh god, I have to go. I don't want to see her. I need to go. I ran away from them as they seemed to keep wanting to annoy me. "Hey! Wait! We're not done talking to you!!", the girl shouted to me. I kept running to my locker in hope that they would lose sight of me.

As I opened my locker and glad that they were already gone, I noticed that the bell would ring any minute from now. I quickly put all my school supplies in my locker as I felt the pressure of trying to finish fast. I slammed my locker, as I was barely starting to speed walking away from my locker when I heard the bell ring.

DING!!!DING!!!DING!!

My heart sank. NOooooooOo. I'm screwed. This can't be happening. No way. I'm late for the first day of class.

"All students report to the auditorium at this moment", the announcement on the speakers said. Do I have a chance to redeem myself?
"Repeating, all students to the auditorium at this moment", the announcement said again.

My moment of panic has now turned into a moment of relief. Thank goodness I'm not late..or am I?
Tons of students were getting out of class and heading towards of what I believe is the auditorium. I decided to follow them. As we were getting in there were teachers asking a question and seperating us by a category that I don't know of.

It was soon my turn to be categorized. It was a teacher named Baba Jaga that asked me,"Are you a Royal or a Rebel?".

What does she mean my that? I remember bumping into those girls and they said they were 'the Royals', and they seemed rich, so that means that they are most likely royalty of some sort. Does that mean I'm a rebel? I remember being told somethings about rebels from my mom and saying the differences about them both. That means that I'm obviously a rebel since I don't really belong anywhere between the categories.

"I-I am a rebel", I stuttered nervously. I guess that proves how shy I am.

"Okay, here you go Ms. Hood",Baba Jaga told me to go to the left and gave me a seat number. She knows my name, huh. I walked carefully into the left and saw a huge sign that said 'Rebel'. Wow that's something, I thought as I walked to my seat. There were red seats every where;the lights were bright, and the stage was big.Finally, I found my seat and sat down, noticing the seat was comfortable. I wonder what this is all about.
I've been noticing for the past few minutes that the auditorium was getting fuller and fuller by the minute. I looked around to see who was sitting near my and it was this girl with black and purple hair wearing alot of black and some purple with purple eyes and makeup."Hey", the girl told me,"I'm Raven Queen, daughter of the Evil Queen". Daughter of the Evil Queen? But she's on the Rebel side."I'm Cerise Wo..Hood...", I can't believe I was about to say Wolf,"Daughter of the Red Riding Hood". I think she noticed I was beginning to worry when she said,"Oh don't worry Cerise; I'm not 'evil' like everyone thinks I am, it's just a name. I'm not going to poison you, so don't worry". Those weren't my concerns but atleast I know she's harmless. She seems pretty cool to me. "Yeah, I hate it when people assume something your not" I told her. I feel like we're going to be great friends. The good thing is that I'm not freaking out and being as shy as usual which is strange."Yeah..", Raven agreed.
I looked to see who else was around me and I didn't notice that the Royal side was in the same auditorium we were in. Examining the Royal side, I saw her looking at something in my direction. What is she looking at?,I wondered. I turned around and I saw Hunter right behind me. That's when our eyes met each others.
The moment we met eye contact was the moment I started to blush real hard. I turned around quickly and pulled my hood over face, so no one would notice me blushing.
I felt someone tap my shoulder gently."Hey Cerise, are you okay?", Hunter asked me concerned."If something is wrong, you can tell me", he politely offered. Nothing was wrong until I remembered what I saw in the Enchanted Forest; Them kissing. How could he not tell me about them both if we're supposed to be close friends. Why would he hide this from me? What would happen if I tell him that I know his dirty little secret?

"Everything's okay...There's no need to worry."
