Layla Wilson's life falls apart after the death of her parents *****
If only I knew that my parents would leave me that day I wouldn't have begged them so that we could take a hike in the woods . Who could have known that a simple hike in the woods...
Layla's POV : I'm happy that I get to attend the school my mom did when she was much younger. But , it still doesn't make things easier for me and being the new girl sucks a lot.
You got to make new friends or even worse not make any at all And the worst of all .....its a boarding school!
Back to reality : It's been two weeks since grandma found out about my powers and also decided that I'll go to the academy .
And today is the day am going to my new school , I still can't believe how time flew so fast.
"Layla!! Hurry up , you don't have to pack the whole room with you" she says getting bored of waiting for me .
"Granny! I'm almost done packing, I just need to grab a few more of my things then I'll be ready" I tell her while hurrying up to pack my things.
"You've got five minutes young lady." she says warning me before slamming the door in anger
Dear lord what have I gotten myself into. I mentally say to myself ,as I finished packing my last box .
Once I am through packing , I rush downstairs as fast as I could but the damn weight of my box was definitely making things difficult for me.
After packing all my belongings in the car.
"Phew ...finally" I said , giving a sigh of relief and gently cleaned off the sweat from my face with my handkerchief , before entering the car .
The drive to my new school was making me nervous and the silence was only contributing to it by mentally killing me.
As if my grandma read my mind
"You know Layla..... when your mother was young she attended the academy as well" I already knew that I said to myself, but , grandma continued talking anyway.
"Your mother was the studious type , she loved adventures much like you , She always wanted to teach you the ways of our people and also watch you attend the academy as well when you come of age ..."
"But unfortunately was taken away from us too early in this life" she says , as a tear escapes her eyes , but quickly cleans it off with her other hand while driving.
"Granny...." I start telling her but she cuts me off.
"Don't worry dear , I know everything will be alright things will get better." She tells me smiling .
I smile back at her but I knew that she was trying to convince herself that things will be the same and get better .
"You know kiddo ...I'll miss you right ?" She says slightly chuckling.
"Who will I get to shout at when you are in school" she says , with sadness in her eyes but quickly replaces it , smiling at me .
" Granny , I'll miss you too but you know I didn't want to go to the academy in the first place" I start telling her feeling sad that I won't get to see her till first semester is over.
"But ,granny, don't worry I'll be sending letters to you whenever am free"
I tell her since I won't be allowed to use my phone over there. For some dumb reason , someone made that rule .
Just think about it , how you can be in a school without your phone *No instagram, no posting and no chatting and the worst , No selfie* My second source of comfort apart from my granny *gone* . Whenever I do things things like that , it helps take my mind off the tragedy that happened ten years ago although it still disturbs me 😔.
Granny's POV : "Don't worry child , I know you will" she says amused , since I won't be using my phone to contact her again , just letters .
************* Five hours after a long drive , my butt hurts like hell .
"Layla hun.." my grandma says gently tapping me . Waking me from my short nap .
"Mmmm" I say yawning lightly and stretching my hands a little.
"We have arrived dear." She tells me as she pulls over to park her car .
When she's done parking the car . I open the door to come out Only for me to be greeted by a huge beautiful building "Wait" what the hell am I even saying it didn't look like a school it looked like a castle .
" Nope that does it I've finally lost my mind. Maybe am still dreaming ?" I say asking myself so I then decided to pinch myself to be sure am not .... well that always works in the movies
"Ouch" that's definitely real .
Before me was a beautiful castle Hell!! It didn't look anything like that a school .
My new school was painted in white color with a light blue roof , and an orchard surrounding everywhere . It was truly breathtaking
