When you've been planning your whole life that you wanna be a doctor, going to school sounds a major must. It's basically the only way there. You learn, study, and graduate. And although it might sound weird, it's true. Demons do go to school.
Blazing Hell Academy.
It's pretty cool, well technically hot since I do live in Hell. But judging from what I know you probably think Hell isn't all that good. Don't blame you, but Hell does have its perks...
"Aquarius, wake up. " I sighed. And this isn't one them.
I rolled out of bed, groaning as I saw my alarm clock. 7:20. Another 7 hours wasted on stupid school. Slowly walking into the bathroom, and splashing some water on my face. I looked at the mirror. Sleepy dark blue eyes and messy indigo hair. I ran my hand through my hair as my dark blue wings slowly opened, but quickly drooped down. Ugh, not again. I tired grabbing my wings. "Come on, open up." I spun around and tried to pull on the middle of where they were both connected on my back. But I stopped when I realized I couldn't reach it. "AHH!" My shoulders slopped and I turned back to the mirror.
Yeah, definitely a demon.
I turned around to my closet. Ok, hardest part of the day - finding clean clothes.
After what felt like forever I finally found clean clothes, and tried flying my way down to the kitchen.
"Aquarius, would you want some Hot Flakes? Or Demoncakes?" My mom asked turning around. I looked down at the pancakes covered in cinnamon. "Um these are fine, thanks." I said glaring at my royal blue watch, 7:27.
I quickly ate the pancakes and grabbed black leather satchel. "Bye mom." She smiled, cyan blue eyes sparking as she walked towards me. "Bye Aqua, have a great day." She kissed my cheeks. I sighed, "Mom, remember you can't do that in front of people." She glared at me and lighted, "Ok, just be home by 6." I closed the door and walked outside. Sometimes I wonder if my mom is even evil.
My wings finally decided to open up, I finally flew into the faded red sky. The smell of flames gripping all around my body. The hot atmosphere usually does spread in the mornings, before it fades away in the evenings. But today it was burning.
Just the way I like it.
I looked around. Demons everywhere. Some were flying, some were in a rush to get to work, some where dropping their kids at school. But everyone was in a good mood, as if it was a special occasion.
Slowly touching the ground, a big building stood in front of me. Black marble stone shining as it reflected the sun, glaring into my eyes. I walked across the black and white tile floor. Another of day of torture.
"AQUAIRUS!" I turned around. What the-
Just then something came crashing down. Making my satchel fall and leaving me on the ground. "Hey, watch where you-" I stopped talking when I saw what, or should I say who it was. Shiny silver hair, and light red eyes I've known since I was little. I picked up my satchel and spoke,
"Is this how you're gonna meet me all the time?" He laughed and bent down, picking the papers that fell out of my bag. "The royal guards are helping me. I still don't see the point. Why do I have to learn all these kingly things?" I still got 2 months till I'm king." He looked at me as it was no big deal.
But we both knew it was.
"Sagittarius, two months left, and we can't even meet without me falling on the ground or you landing on something or someone." He sighed. "Ok ok, so I'm not the best flyer. I'm still gonna be the best king Hell has ever had." He started to walk ahead of me.
That's Sagittarius, my best friend. Although he can't really fly without hitting something, he's the future of Hell. 17 years old, about to be 18 in 2 months, and then a week after that,
Coronation. A word that he hated.
I ran after him. Jumping into the crowd, I tried to see the tips of his silver hair, but there were way to many demons. I looked around, and my cyan eyes widened. Most of the demons looked to old to be going to high school. I looked pass everyone. Where's Sagg? And how do I get out this mob?
Fly? I can't. To many people here, my wings won't open. I looked at the ground, and smiled. If I can't go up, I'll just go down. I crouched down and quickly ran pass demons, accidently bumping some of them. But lucky me, my head was down so they didn't see me.
I ran up to the big crystal door, and opened it. Sagittarius was waiting right in front of it. I looked at him annoyed. "Did you really just leave me there?" He smiled and nodded, "Come on we have to go." Grabbing my arm he pulled me through the madness in the hall.
The school was decorated in black and red. The last time I remember a school looking so clean was Christmas. And that was when I was in 2nd grade. I looked at Sagittarius who was just smiling. "Sagg, what's going on?" He stopped walking. "Sagg, stop joking with me. What's happening?" He turned to me, "Nothing." I looked around the school to check if he was seeing the same things I was.
"Why is the school decorated? Why is everyone looking so happy? Last I checked we're demons. And please tell me why are there random old people in front of the school?" He arched a brow at me. "You don't what today is?"
There was a different between me and Sagg. He was a prince, more like the soon-to-be king, and I was a ordinary nerd. I don't remember any important dates, But Sagittarius did. And right now he wasn't telling me what the hell was going on.
"No, I don't know what today is." I said impatiently. "So tell me." I added making sure he had to tell me. But instead he started to walk. "Hey where are you going." I yelled following him. He turned around walking backwards. "I'll see you in class." He said before turning around and running away. "WHAT!?"
"Aquarius the 11th. Please be quiet, demons are in class." A soft voice said behind me. I turned around to the see a tall woman. Her long black hair straightened against her back. She was wearing a emerald dress that had small scale designs on it, matching her green eyes that were staring right me. "Lady Hydra-" She didn't let me finish. "Aquarius, you shouldn't be here, you need to be in class." Her tone so sharp, as if she would want to talk to anyone except me.
Maybe because of Lady Hydra being the Vice Principal, I had a little advantage at this school. My mom and Lady Hydra have been close friends, and I was like a son to her. She was always there for my mom. Whenever my dad had went into war 2 years ago, he died trying to protect Hell. Lady Hydra was there to comfort us. I tried to remember a time she wasn't there. But I couldn't because she was always there.
"Lady Hydra, I'm going to class right now, but please tell what's going on?" She looked at me as if I was dumb. Which in this case I was.
"You need to be in class young man." She said gently pushing me down the hall. "Wait, but-"
There was no use talking, because she was walking away. The last thing I heard her say was,
"All your questions will be answered when time comes."
