"Look, we're late, and I don't care about whatever you're talking about, I was going to give you a friendly introduction but it looks like we're already rather late. Please. Shut. Up. Your parents will be fine" persuaded Freya. "B-but"
"No more questions" she answered strictly, then glaring at Anna she whipped up a portal sending water particles flying around at high speed but the water didn't quite reach so far as it looked like the water was orbiting a blue whirlpool that hovered above the ground.

Without realising, Anna jumped through.

"Finally!" Ben held his head in his hands and sighed loudly. He looked across at Roy who was playing on his phone without a bored expression on his face, then there was Lucy who just kind of looked sadly at me. "What's going on?" I asked them
"We've gone back to school" mumbled Ben
"Hey, at least this place is interesting" piped up Roy grinning  from ear to ear " Oi! Shut up" moaned Ben staring at his friend giving him a look that clearly said "I mean it". Lucy rolled her eyes "Ben's just upset because he can't use his ability yet"
"Ability shmility, it doesn't matter, Roy can't even control his!" Ben pointed out defending himself. "What the hell is an ability?!" I asked turning impatient "this" smirked Roy as flames danced around his fingers disappearing after reaching his thumb. He clenched his hand into a fist, " I'm going to learn how to control this, then, I'm going to become powerful, powerful enough to help people" Roy fantasised staring intently at his fist. I admired that, but I had to admit, I was as jealous as Ben watching Roy's flame run across his hand like that.

5 people interrupted us as they walked into the room, I only recognised the girl named Freya. The lady in the centre walked towards us. "Stand up" she boomed. Timidly we all began to stand up. Pointing at Ben she said "Earth" then to me "water" then to Roy "fire" and lastly her gaze stopped at Lucy "and air"

Ben had the nerve to speak up "what does that mean?" She eyed him curiously
"You'll find out soon enough" she turned around to face the other people behind her "ladies and gentlemen, take your students and proceed out the door"
