A Dangerous Secret Revealed

Chapter 9

The ride took less than 10 minutes. We landed on some place I have never been to. It was a deserted place, no trees or stuff like that. Where are we? I forgot to ask Mom where they are taking us. Anyway, Amira led us to a big school. Looked more like a mansion, though. The school looks like there were not much students. The school was so grand, it doesn't look like a place for training. It really looked like a big mansion. The door was opened by a man. A butler. He introduced himself as Mr.Butterman.
When we got in, there really was no students. It's like as if everyone evacuated.
"Where are the students?" I asked Amira.
"There are no students. In this mansion, there are only three people. Fattees are separated from Takinyos and Superheroes. Didn't you know that?" No, I didn't! We are in a mansion! So cool!
Joan kept looking at me. She's trying to tell me something.
"Uh, Amira? Where are you taking us?" Joan asked. She seemed uncertain. Maybe she's never been here before.
"To your dorm rooms." She opened a big door. "Here's the room." She said.
Wow. It's, like, so big. It's the size of my kitchen, living room, and bedroom combined together. This is not what I imagined. I was expecting like, cabins. Somehow I was happy that I left home and got here. The floors were carpeted, the room was air conditioned, there were two big, red cabinets, there were two working tables and two working chairs, everything, was just so AWESOME!!!
There were two beds in the room. The beds are so big. Maybe this room was owned by some princess!
"Both of you can unpack your bags. Mr. Butterman will come and get you for dinner at 6:30." Amira left and closed the door.
I looked at Joan and we said in unison,"THIS MANSION IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Joan! I can't believe we get a much better place than Takinyos and Superheroes!"
"I know right!!!" She hopped on the bed and lied down. "Oooohh, so comfy!" I did the same.
Joan sat up and said to me,"Cath, since you know I'm a watcher, wanna see my true self??" What? True self??
"True self? As long as you're not some goblin, then okay."
She laughed. "Of course not." She closed her eyes and hummed some weird melody. She was humming Blank Space. Like what the jhklfarkjnlfrwjkl?!
Before I could ask, the person in front of me is not Joan. She's some weird teenager. Joan's blonde hair became black,curly hair. And she was a few inches taller. She was thinner than her usual self. Her blue eyes changed into light brown eyes. What she was wearing is what a normal teenage girl would wear. My mouth was wide open.
"Er...Joan? Is that still you?"
"Yes of course!! So what do you think?"
"You look...pretty! Wait how old is your true self??"
"17." She replied. What! 17!
"Ohhhh!"
"Yep. Let's start unpacking, we gonna be late for dinner." Oh right. Unpacking. Sounds boring after everything that happened.
Not before long, there came a knock at the door.
"Ms.Sweetdude? Ms. Harris? Dinner's ready!" I opened the door and followed Mr.Butterman. He led us to the dining hall. The table was rectangle and long. You know, like the one's in palaces? Yeah.
Amira, the four men, and two other teenage girls were seated down. Oh, so that was the other students that Amira was saying. Ugh, I hope this is not some kind of fancy dinner with, like, 10 different sizes of spoons, knives and fork.
Maybe seeming to read my mind, Amira smiled at me and said,"Don't worry. You can use any size of spoon and fork you like." Joan seemed relieved also.
"Catherine and Joan, this is Lois," She introduced us to the blonde teenage girl, "and this is Steffi."
"Hello!" I said.
"Nice to meet you," Lois replied.
"Uhm...hello.." Steffi stammered. Maybe she's shy.
"Hi?" Joan said. Sounded more like a question than a statement. Awkward.
"Okay, we can start eating." Amira said.

The food was awesome! Mash potatoes, soup, roasted chicken, Apple juice, salad, and yogurt for dessert. I feel like a queen eating all these stuff. I swear I gained weight after tonight.

After dinner, Amira told us,"If you want to get to know each other, you can settle in one of the bedrooms and talk and stuff."
"Hey, wanna go to our room?" Lois asked me. Joan looked at me with pleading eyes like saying,"please say no, please say no."
"Yes, okay." I replied.
"Great! Let's go!"Lois seemed not shy at all.
I just followed Lois and Steffi to their room. They seemed a little used to the place. Maybe they have been here for a few days.
