The Untitled Ones

Cliques and Explanations

   I watch, the next morning, as Trix gets ready for school.

   She rushes around, first getting out of her Pjs and changing into a replica of yesterday's outfit, except the shirt today was black with red words on it.

   She puts her long cherry-red hair into a black hairtie, therefore pulling it into a ponytail. She put some earrings in, black ones, resembling flames.

“Could you hand me the red eyeshadow please?" Trix asked me, turning away from the mirror. Her shirt read: Notice the Unnoticeable.

“Oh, um, sure." I grabbed a scarlet eyeshadow off the bed and handed it to her. She turned back around, and the back of her shirt had two names on it: Matthew and Skylar.

   Trix applies barely enough shadow, then bites her bottom lip. It flushes with blood, turning dark pink.

“Meh. Ok, come on Brin!" Trix grabbed my arm and pulled me out the door.

   Thank God I slept in my clothes! I thought as she dragged me down the hallway to an elevator. Two boys were inside, both reasonably attractive, wearing identical outfits: Bleached jeans and gray shirts.

“Hello, Dakota, Alex." Trix nodded politely.

“Well if it isn't Bellatrix, the Devil Child." Dakota sneered, looking Trix up and down. “I saw you talking to yourself yesterday. Talking to the demons?"

   Dakota turned to look at me.

“Who is this new one? I can actually see her. What's her name?" Dakota smiled at me. “How would you like to join my group of friends? We're the most popular in school!"

   I looked at Trix. She looked back at me, cooly with almost no emotion. But, there was something in her eyes...I think it was sadness.

“Um, maybe later. I have to go to the office." I answered, rushing out the elevator door, Trix following me.

“Oh yes, Brin, is it?" The secretary smiled at me. She seemed nice, even though her eyes were a shade of purple.

“Er, yes, that's right." I replied nervously, not knowing where I was.

“You need to go in right through there!" She pointed, and I nodded, walking through the door she had pointed to.

   The old man from yesterday was there, with the woman in the purple dress.

“Why hello, Brin. I bet you have a lot of questions, don't you?" I nodded. “Well, you're here, of course, and here exactly is Flaurae, the land of the Unnamed. Here is where highly regarded humans go for Immortality Training, how to be a god, or, seeing as your female, goddess. This wonderful place," He gestured to the room, to the school. “Is the School of Highly Frozen, which is just Old English for Entity."

   He stood up.

“And I am Professor Gaepora, Headmaster and Founder of the school. I hope that answered most of your questions."

   I nodded, and stood up to leave.

“Oh, and Brin?"

   I looked at the woman in purple.

“Just follow Trix. She's a very good young lady."

   I smiled, and walked out of the room.

   Well, now what?
