Note: The house system is slightly borrowed from Hogwarts, because of the points and crap, but houses are not. If you want proof, look up england borading school houses.


It took a while to get ajusted to life again. A couple days passed, and I already refurnished my dorm. My rifle once again laid against my bookcase, and my stuffies dominated the edge of my bed. I was peering out the window, when someone knocked on my door.

The feilds were divided into six sections, for six houses surrounding the actual castle. They were represented by weapons. On the east side, there were the Sheilds. The west (And were my dorm is located) is the rifles, the south was the Daggers, the north was the Swords, NorthEast were dominated by Axes, and NorthWest were the Bows. We generally were allowed to walk across all of them, but not at night. From seven PM to five AM, night time wanderings across house borders was forbidden. Then, there was a point system. You as a student would have a individual point count, represented by a magical clock on your dorms wall. When you get twenty four, you earn a house point, represented by your houses glowing crystal in the entrance hall, with a ticker inmbeded into each base so that you knew specifically. The crystals would glow brighter the more points you get. At the end of the year, whichever house gets the most wins a trophy carved in their specific house weapon.

I opened it, and Tracy stood there. "Oh, hi Tracy. Whats up?" "Skylar's wondering if you need to tell kiara anything" "Nope. Except my condolences for Ben." I sighed. There was no sign of him anywere. I followed Tracy down the steps of the dorms, ad out the archway door. Students played frisbee and volleyball in the feilds, while others sat, looking around or just simply talking. A single student stood out from the rest. She had long, blonde hair tied into a ponytail and green eyes. "Crap. Hide me" I muttered, and Tracy aplied a invisibility spell over me. The student was Emma ANderson, and she normally had several bones to pick with me. And I admit theres a really good reason. I mean, you would too if someone fleetingly dumped you. She stormed past, supposingly to knock on my door extremely hard. Im so glad Im not there. We continued, and eventually we arrived at a old shed. Some other kids called it Dead Shed. Supposingly because the discusting smell of decomposing rats. But this hided a secret. A secret passage that SKylar would use each time she went to either school. I waited outside as Tracy went in. Ten minutes passed, and eventually I sat down, picking at the grass. I was abot to go inside when I heard my name yelled. "AUSTIN!!!" "Ah, motherf*cker." I swore. Emma was charging at me from the feilds. I looked around, desperate to find a escape. I spotted Bell over by a small pond in the feilds, so I pretended I didnt hear Emma and made my way over there. "Hey" "Hey" I sat down in the grass. "So, how do yyou like the school?" "Its alright, I guess. Although its huge" "Dont worry. Youll find your way around" Bell smiled at me, and suddenly a clod of dirt hit the back of my head. I fell forward, barely stopping before I tuoched the water. "I AM NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!" Emma yelled. "Whos this?" Bell asked. "Bell, meet my ex, Emma Anderson." I said, staggering upright. Another clump of dirt hit me again as I ran for cover.

Skylar's POV

I crawled along the damp, dark tunnel with a single candle. I carefully knocked twice, and I heard Tracy mutter "All clear". I quickly opened the trsp door made of concrete, and stepped out. Tacy helped me up, and there was suddenly banging from the wooden door. I criinkled my nose in the smell of the dead rats as Tracy  opened the door. "Quickly quickly quickly!" Austin scrambled in, covered in dirt, and slammed the door shut. There was another loud knocking, threatning to break the door. "Who's outside?" I asked "My ex" "You have a ex?" "Yes, yes yes." "WHy is she so..." "You would to if someone fleetingly dumped you suddenyl." "I didnt even know anyone who liked you before you know what" "Yeah, I generally dont speak about this." The knocking was louder, when suddenly it stopped adruptly. There was muttering, and Austin was flung forward as the door blasted away into splinters. "YOu think you could've held me out forever?" The girl asked, her hands glowing. "Meet Emma Anderson, my ex" Austin said sheepishly, as he began getting shouted at. Me and Tracy quickly left, and soon we crossed paths with Liam and Mia. "Hey, guys" I notcied they were heading in Bells direction, and Liam hid some flowers behind his back. I looked at him "You do realize that she's with someone, right?" "Really?" he asked, surprsied "Yeah" "Who?" "Austin" Liams face scowled like a hawk. Me and Tracy left them, but Mia followed. "Hey, Tracy. Can we be alone for a second?" Tracy threw a glance at me "Sure". They walked behid a nearby tree as I watched them. THey talked for a couple minutes, and I notcied a faint pink sparkle. Suddenly, Tracy took Mia's hand and they marched off. A sudden anger washed over me, and I drew my daggers and followed, silently. THey were walking to the castle, around the dorms, behind the dorms. I quitely cast a invisibility spell and continued, cautiously. Suddenly, they began kissing. I felt more anger surge through as I had to restrain myself from lashing out. Suddenly, I couldnt. I jumped, and tackled Mia to the gorund. We wrestled for a while, until suddenly there was a voice. "May I beg the rough horseplay to end immediatly?" We looked up, and there stood Proffesor Mcknealy, or by his nickname, 'The slouch'. He was by far the most unpopular teacher. He had unwashed brown hair, and a nose that closely ressembled a beak. He taught how to care for animals and beasts. Me and Mia immediatly stood up, and I muttered "Sorry, sir" "Report to your dorms. And twenty points from either of you" I grabbed Tracy and quickly left. We both were in Daggers, and we walked into our dorms. However, Tracy was nonstop talking about how 'amazing' Mia was. I sighed. I'd have her reversed later.
