The Cursed One

Forgotten Academy

Drip. Drop. Drip. Drop. How long have we been freaking driving? Where the hell are we anyways? And now its raining. Great. Just flipping great. I looked out the window, covered in rain, and sighed. Nik turned up the radio, and I smiled. 'Nicotine' by Panic! At The Disco was on, and I started to sing along. Nik laughed, and I glanced at him. 

 "What?" I asked, and he smiled. 
"Nothing. I'll just miss your horrible singing, that's all." He said, and I punched his arm. "Ow." 
"My singing is not horrible." 
"Okay. Your right. It's not horrible. It's just not any good." 
"Asshole." I closed my eyes. "Where are we anyways?"
"About half an hour away from Forgotten Academy. You may be busy for a while. It'd be best if you slept." 

I nodded, and let myself drift into a short peaceful sleep.

Parked in the parking lot I looked up at the building soon to be my new home. The building consisted of purples, blacks, and grays. I wanted to stare at it longer, but screaming and yelling pulled me from doing so. I opened my door, and saw Lysander yelling at Lazarus. I sighed, and got out of the car. Walking over to them I could finally understand what Lysander was saying. 

 "You piece of shit! Why did you bring me here?! I said I wasn't gonna come." Lysander yelled furiously. His hands were balled in fists, and I knew he was gonna swing at someone. "You better take me home right now, Lazarus! I'm not kidding around." 

Lazarus had a blank expression on his face until he saw me. "Oh, Nikolina." He said, and Lysander swung at Lazarus. "Ow! What the hell, Lysander?" 
"I said I didn't want to come here. You brought that on yourself, Lazarus." Lysander said, and got ready to punch Lazarus again. 

I ran between them, and Lysander stopped. "Lysander, calm down." 
"Who the hell do you think are telling me what to do?" He questioned, and I grinned. "Why are you grinning? Lazarus, why is she grinning?" 
"Why are you asking me?! I just met her this morning." Lazarus said, and I laughed. 
"So, Lysander, and Lazarus. Twins, eh? Sure as hell don't act like it." 
"Trust me. I'm sure they'll act the same prior to the first week that Lysander is." Someone said, and I looked towards my left. 

A guy with black hair reaching his shoulders, and white-blue eyes approached us. He grabbed my hand, and brought it to his mouth before planting a kiss on the back of it. I pulled my hand away, and he smiled. 

 "Zaiden, what's up?" Lazarus said, and gave him a bro hug. "Miss me?" 
"You were here yesterday. So, no. I didn't miss you." 
"Harsh." 

I giggled, and they looked at me. The black-haired male smiled at me again. "I'm Zaiden. You are, my dear?" 
"Nikolina. Nikolina Martinez." 
"The fairy?" Zaiden questioned, raising an eyebrow. 
"Uh...yes?" 

Footsteps approached behind me, and I turned around. Nik was standing there with my stuff out of the car. Zaiden walked up next to me, and pointed towards my stuff. 

"Here. Let me help you out, Nina." He said, and I glared at him. 
"Nina?" I questioned. 
"Oh. I hope you don't mind if I call you that." 
"Uh...no." I said, and walked towards my stuff. I grabbed one bag, and Zaiden grabbed my two suitcases.  
"Where are we going?" 
"I have no idea." I confessed, and Zaiden laughed. 

I looked back at the twins, and saw Lysander was bickering at Lazarus about not wanting to be here. They're hopeless. 

 "Hey, Penny! Come here." Zaiden yelled out, and I looked at him. 

The wind brushed against my bag, as a blonde-haired girl came over to us. She smiled warmly at Zaiden then looked at me, and her face lit up. She hugged me tightly, then pulled away. Um...okay?
