(Chapter 1 starts here💙)

University starts in three days. I'm excited and a little nervous at the same time. Nervous, because I've just arrived at Mystery Spell and I don't know anybody. Excited, because I can't wait to start classes.

My plane landed yesterday, in the evening, and the only thing I've ever seen on the town so far is this horrible motel room. As I'm exhausted, I could have slept everywhere.

Today, I have to settle my registration formalities. For that, I have to go to the admissions office at the university. What a program! I think I've got everything I need for my registration in my little shoulder bag. I'm dying to explore the city, but it will have to wait. I pause for a minute in front of the university.

WOAH!

The architecture of the building facing me is really impressed. I love this mixture of modern and antique styles between the red brick building and sculpted columns. The atmosphere is really different, chic and studious. I look at the paths lined with trees and areas of grass. It is very welcoming. I feel immediately in harmony with this place. I can already imagine myself spending my time here.

The campus seems huge. It looks like a neighbourhood in it's own right. I hope I don't get lost. I find it without any real problem and push open the doors of the administrative building. But after about fifteen minutes it becomes obvious. I have no idea where I am. All the corridors look the same. I feel a little lost.

Which way I should go? I hear footsteps coming up beside me. A young girl comes forward she's very beautiful. She's got an eye catching trendy look about her, I can feel her energy. Unlike me she seems to know exactly where she is. Maybe she could help me?

"Excuse me." She strides over to me. Everything about her exudes self-confidence

"Hi are you for to enrol?" she asked

"Yes, how did you know?"

"It's the only valid reason to be here before school starts."

"I'm looking for the admissions office, but I'm having a little trouble finding my way."

"You're new?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"Let's say I haven't seen you around before and I've lived here forever so it's not hard to guess."

"That explains why you seem so at ease." I said. She laughs and links her arm through mine.

"Don't worry I'll show you where the admissions office is. I have to go there too by the way my name's Sarah."

"Red."

She takes me to the admissions office, once outside the door I take the papers out of my bag and Sarah grabs them. I watch her until she let's out an excited squeal, it startles me and I stare at her with round eyes, she's a little weird, this girl.

"You're enrolled on the course myths and legends me too!"

Awesome!

Well I think it is.

This girl is mysterious playful and explosive at the same time.
