The Writings On The Wall

The New Friend

        "Can anyone tell me who Ross Meldrid is? Hmm...anyone? No? Good."

        Mr.Relds put the rubix cube he was turning in his hand on his desk.

        "Legend tells us that Meldrid's ancestors established a tribe and eventually that tribe grew into its own nation. It focused on peace and harmony and finding the answer to one pretty big question." He paused for dramatic effect. with a loud echoing boom," what is the cure for suffering? This tribe was called the Sepheane's and they were split into four districts. Meruda, could read the minds of others and literally soothe you along with manipulating your own thoughts. Edefer, brought pleasure by curing anything with the touch and being the most intelligent district. Camilles, enforced the law by being able to teleport and posses the ability of telekinesis. Camilles was the toughest district in case that wasn't clear. Rutin, was the manufacturing district and were mostly good at mathematics.

        Named after the four royal emporers and empresses, that gathered these special people with extordinary powers and formed Sepheane. These for districts lived by each of their emporers or empresses who as a matter of fact were all siblings. Meldrid was the great great great great grandson of empresses Camille he ruled with a mighty fist. Meldrid believed that suffering was a way of life and it should be rejoiced not demolished. He wanted to overthrow the other monarchs and claim Sepheane for himself. Luckily, a great mysterious avenger rose up and questioned Meldrid's authority but after all great attempts Meldrid terminated him. Before the Avenger's death he assembled a group of rebels called The Union. From that time on they have been trying to overthrow Meldrid."

        Mr.Relds kept on talking about this Union whatever and that the whole story was in a book and it was written by some unknown author who is untraceable.  I knew it was all a dumb story written by some drunk who had a burst of energy and inspiration. Ridiculous. I looked over at Brian rolling my eyes. Brian raised his eyebrows and smiled mouthing, "Meldrid I am your father". He leaned back in his chair and put his hands on the back of his head. I turned my head up and saw Mr. Relds waving the book in the air that read "Sepheanes fall". The bell rang.

"Class remember your essays are due Thursday ",Mr.Relds yelled as we filed out of our Historic Literature class.

"Again with the mythical legends!"

Brian glared at me, " hey cut the man some slack at least he doesn't make us write 10-paged essays about the theory of tabletops"

"what"?

"Exactly".

" Look, I'm just saying he could teach us about something other than unicorns and lost princesses"

"Ew. You're acting like a logical adult-stop."

I shook my head and rolled my eyes at my best friend who ever since we were two could never take anything seriously. Anything at all. We walked past the goth kids who seemed to be huddled in a group and were lighting cigarettes. Yes, inside of the school. 

"Well I wish I had the guts to light a cigarette in school. That's even worse than Justin bieber's attempt of a singing voice."

"Nice outdated comparison," I retorted

" I know what you to had was something special,but no need to take it out on the world. Also Justin Bieber manages to screw up just when everyone turns their backs, so he is never outdated-and before you say it,  no I did not just compliment him. Last thing, it wasn't a comparison it was an approval."

"Sometimes I mistake you as a girl because your'e so defensive."

In a high-pitched girly voice Brian replied with" Ugh! you're so rude. No I am not!" And with that he stomped his foot whipped his imaginary hair and purposely strutted off. I watched him storm off and laughed. I got to my locker and spun the dial still smiling to myself. Grabbing the things needed for my next class I closed my locker. When I went to put my lock back on I almost dropped it on my foot. There beside me revealed with my closed locker door was a girl. She had long, thick, black, hair and big green eyes. She was watching me with a smirk as I wondered why such a hot girl would be even looking at me. Popular- No. Rich- ha! No. Good-looking- I wish. They would never come near me. And the question remains. 

She spoke with a smooth confident voice that had a edginess to it that made her even more attractive. "Hey"

I looked back to see if she was honestly talking to me. No one behind me-my thoughts were interrupted because she spoke again!

" Do you talk or are you deaf"?

"Ummm...I...umm...hi?"

"Listen I'm new here and I can't find my class so I need your help"

"My help?"

"No, captain Jack Sparrow's help" She replied rolling her eyes.

"Well..uhhh...let me...let me...uhh...?"

She let out a big breath "Schedule"? she offered looking bored

I vigorously nodded my head. She delicately lifted up her right hand, which is where she grasped a yellow piece of paper. I looked at her hand and poking out of her sleeve was the end of a creature. A tail, scaly feet with large claws.,green. A dragon.

She noticed me staring at her tattoo and quickly pulled her sleeve down. She put the paper in the other hand and took a step forward. 

"Here," she said a bit too harsh. Realizing her tone she straightened up. "My schedule" she added with a smirk. I snapped out of my daze and took the schedule out of her hands. Quickly gazing at her classes. ( not making sure she had any with me). Her first class was with Mr. Ferguson who always is insulting kids ability to do work. Overall, one of the rudest teachers at Eldman High. 

"You have a great teacher he is... real funny"

" Wow, your'e so bad at lying a two-year old with his hand in the cookie jar could do a better job"

"Sorry, just wanted you to head into your first class with a good feeling"

" So you wanted me to be disappointed?"

"No! Of course not! I...You see-

"Chill." She laughed and raised her eyebrow," I''m messing with you"

I gave her a nervous smile hoping it would cover up my embarrassment."Right. This way" I spun around raised my head and walked in the direction of her class. Way to make a good first impression, I thought to myself. I could her calm lazy footsteps behind me. Way cooler than my nervous face-paced ones. And yes I was comparing myself to someone by the style of walking they had. I tried to match my walk to hers but in all attempts failed and tripped over my own feet. Damn I was nervous. She stopped and gave me the your weird look. Yes a great first impression.

Once we reached her class I made an abrupt stop and handed her schedule. 

"Well,this is your stop. I officially welcome you to Eldman."

She gave me a smirk and tilted her head forward. The bell rang.

"Thanks, and you should probably get to class before the teacher doesn't let you in".

I gave her a quick smile and scratched my head. " Ya, well see ya' around"

She nodded and turned the knob on the door.

I spun around," wait, I didn't get your name"

She turned and smirked,"Reece". She shut the door behind her.
