Dad looked at the front mirror."Dont get nervous,so you would fit in! Remember that you can make friends if you have confidence!" Then he focused back on driving.

"Oh Dominic.She's a senior student now,she's not our baby girl anymore.But always know that we won't let her go no matter what." Mom explained to Dad,then looked behind to me in the backseat.

That's right,im a senior,and im about to leave my former school behind,which was in a city filled with buildings.But here in this school,this school is in the middle of a place filled with different colored trees.It was really beautiful,making me love the first time seeing cherry blossoms in person,and not anime.

"Mom,I saw the things that you're supposed to pay for my tuiton fee.You know that i'm okay in a cheap school,you said as long as I study well and have good grades." I said,worrying.I care for my parents and their life.They need me and my company.

"Oh,honey.You've always stayed our happy,good girl.I mean,we have to at least do something good for you." Mom said,as she got a piece of my favorite candy out and gave it to me.

"Leslie,you're sixteen years old,about to level up in her life,as a senior.Remember,dont let us down!" Dad's words gave life and excitement to me, the fact that im changing schools,and how it is to make true friends.

"Mom...,Dad..., I lo-" I suddenly focused on something else.I saw a huge wall and a gate with some swirly designs on it.

"Honey,welcome to your new school, Willow Creek Academia."

8 Years Ago

"Mommy, Daddy,when I grow up,I wanna go to that school!" Leslie showed a picture that was from her great grandfather, the picture of Willow Creek Academia,where her great grandfather used to teach.

"Yes Leslie,you will go to that school soon.But dont tell your classmates that you're going there,okay? Can you follow that, honey?" Laura Williams, Leslie's mother, asked.

"Yes mommy! I'll always follow you." little Leslie said happily.

Few hours later

"Are you sure you want to let her in there? She doesn't even know about it yet,Dominic.Plus,its dangerous for her to come there in a small age without guidance,because she doesn't have a power yet."

"Laura.She's going to be fine,please? Let me do this."

"No Dominic.I wont let you do this to her...she's our daughter,please.I wont let you,but i promise I will let her dream come true of coming to that school."

"Fine.By the time of her senior year,shes going to be going to that school.And im going to make her one of the best of the best students in WCA."

"What if she tells others and suddenly more random kids come join in,even if they dont have a power,they just want to study in that school,its forbidden for people or kids who come there without one."

"That's the thing,Dominic.How are you supposed to solve that? Wait till the kids grow older making them stop thinking about magic so they won't go to that school?"

"Exactly,Laura.Come on,we met there,maybe she'll find a good life there."

"Im never going to be ready to let her go..." Laura looked at Leslie,sleeping in her bed.

"Me too,Laura.But we have to enroll her there, so we can pass the ownership power to hers." Dominic said worrily.

Present

I shed a tear.

After all those years...they made my dream come true.A school with such a beautiful terrain,and good teachers.I can almost think that this school is magical.

"Surprise Leslie...Mom said then she shed a tear then started crying...

"Leslie,isn't this what you wanted,8 years ago?"

"Y-you remembered..." I said, playing that flashback of how much times I keep saying that I always wanted to go to that school since I was 7 to 8 years old.

"Mom! Can we go to that school please?"

"Dad! In our vacation,i wanna see the cherry blossoms like I see on their pictures!"

"So you're saying its a fake? No its not! You must be joking!"

"Mom,Dad, are the neighbors telling the truth about my dreams? They're fake?"

"If that's so, im going to wish and wait!"

"Even if it takes years..."

I started crying and was so happy on the inside.I've been waiting to go to this international school.But why is it in the middle of a forest?

"Leslie...were sorry."

"For what, Mom?"

"You're going to be living here...for the rest of your life..."

"W-what?! No! What about you guys?"

"this school will help you...learn.To survive."

"Honey,the truth is...you know those things that theorists in youtube post? Those mysterious creatures? This school helps you survive them."

"What? Those...those aren't real.."

"Yes they are, Leslie...the reason we moved here in Boston is that...there are creatures roaming around hurting people. And the school here is where you have to study..but along the years you're going to learn something very important the about you."

What thing? Whats so important about me anyway?

"You can come visit us any time when you're not supposed to study.Good luck...sweetie!"

I went out of  the car, I looked behind me after 10 seconds and Mom and Dad were waving out of the window,while the car was leaving the place.

I reached to the car...but the next thing I knew they left too far on the one way forest.
