School of Magic

Chapter 1- The Beginning

*beep* *beep* *beep*

"SYLVIA HARLEY! GET YOUR BUTT UP!"
I woke up from my mom yelling. I looked at my clock. 7:50. I'm late.
"FFFFUUUUUU-" I said as I ran to my closet and threw on my uniform and shoes. I ran out the door, a piece of toast hanging out of my mouth and adjusting my tie.

I stopped in front of the gates and looked up, entering the school grounds. First thing I noticed was everyone else had animal features. Boys and girls with animal ears, tails or wings. I walked to my locker, at least what I thought was mine, but was slammed against the wall.

I groaned in pain as I looked up at the attacker, a girl with dark brown hair tied into ponytails, with demon horns and wings. "What's your problem?" I said, annoyed. "Look Kelsey, it's one of those mystics who haven't developed yet!" A blonde girl with neon pink bangs and bunny ears said. I stood up, only to be pushed back down.

Kelsey was about to punch me, until a large, gloved hand grabbed her wrist, halting her action. She slowly turned as she faced a tall boy with whitish-blonde hair, a baby pink scarf, and black wolf ears and a tail. He was followed by a girl shorter than him, wearing a witch hat over her curly dark brown hair.

Kelsey and her posse didn't bother to stick around and booked it down the hallway. "Hey, you ok, new girl?" The female offered her hand,which I gladly took. "I'm Sylvia. Thanks for helping me." I told them. "No problem! I'm Linden, and I'm a witch. My werewolf friend over here is Ivan." Linden told me , as Ivan said hello to me with a thick Russian accent. "You are Mystic, da?" Ivan said. "Huh? What's a mystic? I'm human." I said, only to have Linden frown at me. "That's strange. Only mystics can see this school..." Linden said as the bell rang.

We ran to class and I took my seat. I thought about what Linden said. I saw Kelsey in the front of the classroom, failing to flirt with a blond boy in a cloak with a staff leaning against his desk. Before I could say something, the bell rung and we were dismissed to lunch.

I saw Linden and Ivan sitting with a few other people. I didn't want to intrude, at least until Ivan waved me over. "Hey Sylvia!" Linden said while waving. "Let me introduce you to the other people." She motioned to the other people sitting, who all waved.

"This is Mathias. He's a warlock," Mathias, the cloaked boy from class earlier, gave an unenthusiastic wave. "My brother, Alexei, and his boyfriend, Gil. Angel and bird," She motioned to a pale blonde boy with Angel wings and a halo and an albino boy with bird wings, holding hands. "And Eliza, who we just refer two as a glitch." A girl with crazy hair and circuit-like markings running from her eyes and from bracelet on her wrists smiled and waved.

"So what was that girl Kelsey about?" I ask out of the blue. "Ah, Kelsey. The school bully and an overall bitch..." Eliza growled. "Well, who are the other two who are with her?" I asked. This time, Mathias answered. "Her two proxies are Brittany, the rabbit, and Tiffany, the fairy. Brittany is Kelsey's second in command and Tiffany is the group's idiotic comic relief. But both are airheads."

We all continued talking until I saw Kelsey get up with her posse of idiots and waltzes over here. "Guys, red alerts!" I whispered as Kelsey finally approached. "Hey, Mathias!" She said in a sickeningly sweet voice. "Why don't you come and sit with us and not these losers?"

Mathias grumbled to himself. "No, Kelsey. That is, and always will be my answer." He said, sounding like he was about to punt her into the next dimension. "Awww, c'mon, babe! Why not sit with the cool kids, not the stupid witch, the mutt, the gay idiots, the glitch, and the undeveloped mista-" She was cut short as she was being held up in the air by the shirt by Mathias, his staff in hand.

Alexei was huddled up to Gil and I was shocked. Mathias didn't seem like the guy to snap like that. "Shut up, you absolute horrible excuse of a mystic. First off, I'm not your 'babe'. Second, if you talk trash, or be rude, or ANYTHING to my friends, I will personally find you and throw you off a building." Mathias let her go and the bell rang again.

I can tell this school year is going to be... Interesting
