The Elements' Curse

First day at the Academy

Crystal Lafayette Come downstairs right now so you can eat breakfast; you are going to be late!" Okay, Mom, you know it takes me forever to get ready. I just want to look perfect for my first day of the Four Elements Academy." I said this as I come down the stairs and go into the kitchen and sit at the table. Sweetheart I know you're nervous for your first day of school, but you need to come down just a little. Okay, Mom I know I know, but it's just that the Four Elements Academy is one of the top academies for witches and wizards. Mom, you know how long it took me to just get an interview at this academy. It is one of the best universities. As I was finishing my breakfast, Dad came through the back door from his morning jog. He ran to my mother's side in hugs and kisses and said, "Good morning, my love, have you been this morning?" She said, "II'm doing great, sweetie, but I am trying to come down your daughter for the first day of Four Elements Academy." He turns around and says, Crystal,"What are you so nervous about? It's just a school." Did he just say it was just a school? I said to myself. Okay, you just said it was just to school, right, Dad?" Four Elements Academy is not just a school! It is the top of all schools. Dad, it is the best spell casting, fortune telling, and nature 101 in the country. As I finish saying this at the top of my lungs, my dad looks at me and he says, "Crystal You're going to do wonderful; you're my daughter. You are smart, beautiful, and talented, witch." I looked at my dad and smiled softly. He always knows how to make me feel so much better. Dad got his plate of food for Mom and was about to sit at the table. Dad was sitting down at the table with a big grin on his face, and he looked at me and said, However, if you fail, I will just disown you, kick you out of the house, and you never were my daughter." I looked at him with my mouth wide open, and my mom just threw a piece of toast and hit his head! My so-called father busted out with laughter; he said, I was joking, Sweetie. I turned to my mother, who was trying to hide her laughter as well. I said Mommy! Dad being mean to me again! My mom came over and gave me a hug and said, "It's okay, sweetie, your father is just a dumbass." I busted out laughing and stuck my tongue out at dad! I turned around and looked at the big clock on the wall. It was almost 8:30 a.m. Omg, I'm going to be late for school orientation. I got up and kissed mom and dad on the cheek as I'm about to run upstairs to get my book bag, new spell book, and my wallet. Came back down the stairs and ran to the door and yelled, Bye guys, love. I'll grab my broomstick I tipped It On The Ground three times and said the spell "UP UP SWAY WE AWAY." The broomstick starts the hover off the ground. I sit on the broom, and that's when my father came out the door with a blue gemstone and did a four-point star on my back.

And I turned around, looked at him, and said, What are you doing with a protection gemstone? Dad smiled and said, Just for extra luck, that's all; nothing to worry about. I said, Oh, okay. That was strange, I said to myself. As I was about to fly away, he turned around and said, Do you know how to get in? I looked with a questionable look on my face and said Through the front door? Dad laughed and said, "NNo silly." Do you know the spell to get into the school?" Only look at my dad with a shocked look on my face!"IT's A SPELL to get into the academy!!! Why no one told me this one told me!!!! What the goddesses names, I'm going to do now!!!" I screamed at my dad. I'm panicking! "Oh my goddess, calm down Crystal! says Dad. "I just can tell you what this spell is. You're going to bust a blood vessel if you don't calm down." Dad was right. I need to calm down. I don't need a panic right now. I breathe in and breathe out slowly. Okay, I calmed down, Dad "What is the spell?" Alright, Crystal, repeat after me, "NEE KEEI IOP ZUZ RUX." Do you understand? I've smiled and was relieved that it was an easy spell to remember me. "Yes, daddy, I understand, but I have to go before the academy orientation starts!" My dad threw his hands up in the air and back up from me. He said, "Okay, okay, I don't want you to be late for the orientation," with his silly look on his face. "Just remember to have fun and make new friends." I said, "Okay, Dad," as I was flying off and waving back at him. I can't wait to get to the Four Elements Academy.
