Got Winx?

18 - Pizza again

I land on the edge of the forest, similar to where we first found Aisha. The air here is so different, carrying a happy and positive vibe, but this vibe doesn't work on me. I am still terrified.

I hear a group of girls chatting in the distance and realize i better move. I remember Jade saying that I need to go to Faragonda the headmistress first to get my timetable.

My feet drag me to the front gates but suddenly I see them.

I flatten my body against the wall spy style just outside the gates of the school. I sneak a peek around the corner and glare at the group. My ex-friends are chatting together about some crazy adventure they had. I wander how many other adventures they had without me. I wander if they liked them better without me?

My wobbly legs move me against my will towards the building I am meant to go to.

Hopefully I can get past everyone without being noticed.

I am 3/4 there when a familiar voice calls out

"Hey, are you new here?" I freeze in my tracks because the voice calling was the one and only Stella. Great.

I stand there not knowing what to do. Do I ignore her? Do I turn around and face her? before I can decide she has already walked up behind me.

"You are new! I was right! My name is Stella, Princess of Solaria" She extends her hand for me to shake and I don't move. Every piece of my body is telling me to scream at her and run off but I can't. I have to keep up my act as Cat or like Darcy told me, the tattoo will also sting if I misbehave. I grit my teeth and shake her hand, fake smiling.

It is time to channel Cat.

"Hi, I am Cat! but no i'm not actually a cat if you can't tell, that is just my name. It is short for Catarina. It is suuuper awesome to meet you!" I exaggerated the word super with a cheesy smile.

Stella just stays speechless for a moment, that is a first! I bet she is just surprised that someone can talk as much as her. She is pretty chatty sometimes.

I take this opportunity to escape, I walk off leaving her speechless still.

--------------------

Thankfully I managed to make the rest of the journey without being noticed. I arrive at Mrs F's door and knock.

"Come in"

I take a deep breath and walk in, shutting the door behind me.

"Take a seat"

I follow her instruction.

"Hiiiiii, I'm Cat! I am new and I got told to come here!"

She is also surprised by how fast I can talk.

"Okay well I will just have a look for your timetable"

She gets up and finds a folder on her bookcase, flicking through it she pulls out a handful of papers and puts the folder away, sitting back in her seat.

She goes through the papers with me.

"This one is your map,
your timetable,
your copy of the rule list, and a few other things"

Something falls out, a piece of card.

"Oh, that is your room number and roommates."

I gasp. My room number is the old room that I had back when I was Flora.
My roommates? I bet you can't guess, are the Winx!

"I can't have that room! I am allergic to that number!" I blurt out.

She looks at me and laughs,
