Fear And Terror

2 (Where I Belong)

My mom and I argued about going to school yesterday.

“You need to attend to that school no matter what!” My mom said as I came down to dining room in the freaking morning.

Good morning to you, my lovely mom.

She should’ve said ‘You woke up early today. What a good girl!’ but no, she forced me to go to the weird school.

I told her that there is no school that I would fit in but she kept insisting that is the best school for me.

Want me to play along?

Fine.

“I will go because you want me to!” I said as I stuffed the cereal and milk in my mouth.

“Good girl!” she hugged me. “I am going to pack up for you and you get ready to roll!” She ran upstairs.

Go figure! At least I don’t need to pack.

My mom finished packing my clothes everything while I was eating. My mom picked clothes for me to wear.

After I dressed, I went downstairs to eat some more food. My mom smiled and hugged me. “I am so going to miss you. Don’t cause troubles and be a good girl!”

That was the biggest mission ever that I’ve received. You want Baek Jaeyeon to stay out of the problems? Not gonna happen.

The doorbell rang and my mom hugged me one last time and opened the door. The nice dressed man bowed and said “Miss Jaeyeon?”  My mom and the nice dressed man stared each other for a while making me feel a lump in my throat.

I followed him as he carried my bag. “Be nice and make some friends!” my mom yelled out as I went into the car.

I, Baek Jaeyeon, don’t need friends.

“No matter you want friends or not, you might need to trust your partners while you are battling!” He said as if he is reading my mind.

I freaked out, so I didn’t say anything. Wait, did he say battling? I thought I am going to academy.

“Yes, it’s an academy but it’s for special people!”

I gulped down as he started to freak me out. “Your definition of special means mentally retarded!” I mumbled. Can he read mind or what?

“Yes, I can read mind. In your case, your power would be ice!” he replied. “You will know once you reach to the school!” He said as I was trying to process what he just said.

Ice? Power? 

Things started to get crazy.

The driver opened the door as I was lost in my thoughts.

I got off from the car and surprised by what I saw. I looked around and the school was surrounded by tall concrete walls. The building is enormous and beautifully decorated. There are a lot of statues standing proudly. I was admired by the school which is beautifully decorated until I saw something in front of me.

The freaking tiger charged at me with full speed.

Without thinking, I ran to the other side and let the tiger crashed the car. The boy came behind him and said “Sorry.” and chased after him.

Just let him go. What can the tiger do to him anyway? It will eat him and… that’s all.

“Welcome to Skell Academy, Miss Jaeyeong.”

Gee. Thanks. At least he should save me from that tiger first.

We walked through the park and I was amazed by the size of the school. It’s huge.

He led me to this great big door and said “Our Principal is waiting for you!”

I walked as I stared him, without thinking anything.

As soon as I went into the room, the door behind me closed. Okay, I guessed there’s no way turning back now.

The chair twirled around and the middle age man faced me. “Baek Jaeyeong, I am glad that you are here!” he beamed a smile.

“I bet that you already know your power and what kind of school this is.” He said. “We watch those people who have magic and when the time comes, we invite them to this school! Now you have been chosen!”

Gee, thanks but I didn’t want to get chosen.

“Attending this school is not your decision. You are born with it, so you must learn how to use your magic!” He said.

That shuts me up. No wonder I was belong in the school because this school is full with crazy people like me.
