Academy of Elements: Fire

Chapter 3: Shopping, Eating, and Asking Questions

James, Ella and I walked down a cobblestone path.
The grounds were awesome! The school was cool and modern, we hadn't gotten a tour of the dorms yet but they seamed huge. From what i could see of the dorms there were six different sections with five different buildings in them.
We walked to the village. It was fairly small and had at least twenty shops. We walked into a school supplies shop.

There were a few shelves full of supplies including different coloured backpacks, some notebooks, pencils and pens, and pencil sharpeners. The shop was fairly busy, so Me, James, and Ella got our school supplies.
All of Ella's objects were a rich red and James and My objects were all a light blue.

Next we took a look at the book store. It had a checklist telling us what we needed for the first year of the academy.
Luckily for us it was half off! I grabbed all the required books and one extra on the past about Ice elementals.

We all walked out of the store.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"Time for you to get a watch." Ella laughed. I glared at her. "Five fifteen." She mumbled.
"Ok crap!" I exclaimed. "We gotta go!"

We ran up the cobblestone path and into the big doors of the academy.
The feast was amazing. Stacks of food lined along table that you could eat.
Me, James, Ella were sitting at the table when a blond girl came to the table.

"Mind if I sit here?" The girl asked.
"Sure." I said. "My name is Jaxon, whats yours?"
"Rose." She answered.
After a bit of introductions the topic of elements came up.
"I'm a water." Explained Rose.
"Jaxon and I are ice." James said.
"I'm a fire." Said Ella shyly.

After a delicious meal Mrs. Nicole came and stood up on a podium.

"Good evening students!" She greeted. "I am Mrs. Nicole for those of you who don't know and I am the principle of this school. The rules at this school are, no using your elements in the halls unless you have to. No elemental duels without an adult supervisor. Do not go into the dungeon of this school, or the teachers lounge or their offices without permission. And of course the basic rules such as, No damaging school property, don't be late, etc. Will all first years please stay seated the rest of you to your dorms!" She finally finished.

All the students besides the first year got up and left the hall leaving around

"Welcome all of you!" Said Mrs. Nicole. "You are all Elementals, of course you already new that but do you have any questions?"
A girl at a different table with red hair asked; "Do our parents know?"
Mrs. Nicole smiled. "Yes, but not the complete truth. You see your parents have been informed that you have a ginormous iq or, you have a gift unless your parents are elements, then we have told them the truth.
"Ok." Said the girl.
"How many of us our there?" A boy asked.
"There are seventy five hundred thousand elementals around the world. There are ruffly three hundred and forty five students here. And there are sixty six first years. Fourteen are water. Sixteen are fire. Twelve are earth. Eleven are air. Nine are lightning. And four are Ice." Mrs Nicole told us. Anymore questions? No, great follow me."

We walked out of the hall and out of the two big doors. Six older students stood apart from each other.
"These are your head of houses!" Exclaimed Mrs. Nicole. "They are the students who will check on you or answer questions. If they tell you to do something then do so."

"Please line up in front of your head!" Said a boy with a white shirt on. "You will tell which element by the shirt colour. Fire being red. Water being blue. Earth being brown. Air being white. Lightning being yellow. And ice being cyan."
Me and James waved goodbye to Rose and Ella and walked over to the ice line up.

The other Ice elementals were girls. One named Elise. The other named Sarah.
Our head of house was a boy with short black hair, hazel eyes like me, and a short build.
"Please follow me!" Said the boy. "My name is Harry, ask any questions of you want."
The walk was about five minutes long and by the time we walked into a compound with a snowflake signalling ice on the front gate it was dark.

The outside of the dorms was modern like the rest of the Academy and a small glow came from the windows. This modern house would soon be a place to call home along with the Academy.
