School Of The Unsolved

Welcome!

"So going to check out your room huh?" I questioned. The air had gotten quite uncomfortable after Blair had brought up summer. My mind began to go it's own route and wonder about what she had been thinking. I had no clue what happened but I knew it was bad. Blair had pushed almost everyone away and had also grown obsessed with something she wouldn't let us in on.

Everyone had known something was wrong. Blair had completely changed. The way she thought, the way she spent her time, everything. It wasn't hard to see. Especially since I had known Blair since we were small. Since I could remember.

Still, the girl was my sister. I trusted her with everything. If she couldn't do the same I couldn't blame her. She had trusted me her whole life. If something was so bad even I couldn't know about it so be it. I had faith in her. I didn't need anything else.

The girl laughed "Yeah, I came up with that one on the spot". I was happy that she didn't try to hide it. We had all known she was a mastermind at lying and what could we do. She might as well have embraced it.

The silence had now grown comfortable. That was exactly how Blair liked it. Me? Not so much. I was definitely a talker. That I how I made so many of my friends. I didn't mind the quiet though. I had loved the quiet. When I was by myself. To me, I had been one of the best people I had known. So why would I not talk to myself and get advice from one of the best? Of course, it made me look stupid but I didn't really mind. That was the one thing I didn't really care about.

I had always thought about what people thought about me but when it came to talking to myself that was just natural. It was a part of my I could never really hide so what would be the point of trying.

I stood up from the bench and loudly announced our Assembly that we had to attend

"How did you remember that?" she asked. There had only been one answer to that question and it was very obvious.

"I remember everything, Blair. Don't forget that." I said trying to ominous. That had been true I had a really good memory and I always paid attention to the little things. " that's how I also know that we're running late"

"Can I just hide in the bathroom?" she complained as we began to walk back to the school.

"come on it's just an assembly! All they do is talk!" I said as my voice slowly became high pitched. I hated when it did that but I couldn't help it. It happened every time I remotely raised my voice and it made me sound annoying. Too bad I could change that.

We quickly turned a corner and came in contact with a large group of students entering the auditorium. I instantly knew that we should have come earlier. We would get horrible seats and have to deal with back of the auditorium weirdos. I signed as I ran my hand threw my hair and headed towards the wall. It felt wrong to lean on a wall that looked so expensive but I want going to just stand there. My legs were tired.

Blair laughed as she got a closer look at the doors. I instantly figured out that she had been trying to look for another entrance.

"Is it that serious?" I laughed as I watched the amount if students start to decline. I knew it wouldn't be long until we could squeeze in.

"Says the one who just could stand up straight," she said as she looked me up and down in a joking manner. I had been lucky to have someone to laugh with. Standing here would pretty boring with Blair.

"Mingyu" shouted a voice. My head shot up to see the group from earlier calling me over.

I turned to Blair and whispered, "that's our cue" she followed behind making sure not to talk to any of the people we had been walking with.

The number of voices asking me questions had now become annoying. I hated being the new kid. Especially if people couldn't stop asking questions. This wasn't twenty-one questions this was my first day of school. Don't get me wrong I loved talking about myself..to myself. Talking to other people about myself just felt weird. There were so many things we could talk about other than me. I wasn't even that interesting in the first place.

I turned behind me to see how Blair was doing but unsurprisingly the girl hasn't even been there. I began looking in the auditorium only to find her in the last row sitting criss-cross apple sauce writing in her notebook. I sighed wishing that she was here so I could talk to somebody that would talk to me about anything other than myself.

Then my eyes fell on the auditorium. It was definitely different for any auditorium I had ever seen in my whole life. The chairs were made out of soft red fabric and the stage curtains had been made of the same fabric. The stage's self had looked gold. The only reason I didn't say it was gold was because in my mind there was no way someone would pay that much money just for a gold stage.

This place was insane.

I quickly found my seat as the presenters began to start. I knew I had to pay close attention if I wanted to make the most out of this school. I hadn't been naturally smart so paying attention mattered.

"Can I get everyone's attention to please?" asked who I figured was the principle. The crowd quickly became silent and allowed the man to talk.

"Welcome to fortune academy!! One of the most talented and academically prestigious schools around. We are pleased to have every single one of you join us today. I would like to make it known that this school is not a joke. You are all very fortunate to be here. I recommend you work hard to stay."

I instantly knew why everyone got so quiet in his presence.
