Elemental Academy

Chapter 4 - Uniform Shopping

**Edited**

Drake knocked on the window three times. He found himself a yawning Aalto in pyjamas. Drake shot daggers at Aalto, his eyes narrowed. "Get up! We have only three more days until the first term starts! We need to rehearse the plan!"

Aalto yawned, stretching his back and the rest of his body. "Drake, what time is it?" Aalto stupidly asked.

Drake clenched his fists. "You mean to tell me, that three days before the first term starts, you are thinking about what time you are getting up instead of your training?" Drake took a deep breath, he closed his eyes for a second, picturing himself punching Aalto playfully. "Can you just hurry up? If you must know it is eight forty-five. Now hurry! We need to meet Xavi and Lucy at the shops, we need to buy our uniforms."

"Why isn't Lucy with you, she is your sister?" Aalto asked, still sounding stupid.

"She went with Xavi, those two kept fighting over that dumb blonde."

"OK, give me a few minutes, I will be out soon." Drake walked over to the front door and waited for ten minutes. Aalto opened the door, carrying his wallet. "I am ready, now let's go into town, I heard the Floral Centre is having a sale, they sell uniforms so let's go!" Aalto then closed the door and walked up to the shops with Drake.

Slayzes looked at the shop, Skylah was next to him, she was playing Angry Birds. "Skylah, we need to buy our uniforms for Elemental Academy, so please stop playing that game for one second," Slayzes whined.

"But it is so addictive!" she argued, hereyes concentrating on the game. "I don't know how the humans came up with this stuff. It would take a man with the brains of that really smart man in that book, you know. Ale– Abby Einsteen?" Skylah poked the side of her head.

Slayzes shoved his face into his palm, muttering words under his breath. "Albert Einstein." he murmured, trying to sounding as faint as possible.

"Hey Blondie!" A voice yelled out, sounding familiar. Slayzes recognised the voice, but it was put in the back of Slayzes's brain. Slayzes lifted his head and looked around, Skylah did too. There they saw Xavi, running with a girl they hadn't seen before.

"Uh ... hey, Xavi right?" Skylah lifted her head, she looked at the two girls, one of them looked farmilar, but Slayzes knew them, so wouldn't she?

"Yup, we never caught your name though, or the red head's," Xavi said, trying to be as rude as possible.

"Excuse me?"

"Hi!" the second girl with short, red hair peeped. "You haven't met me but I am Lucy, you've met my annoying brother, right?"

"Drake, right? He isn't annoying, just a bit, hot headed."

"I'll second that." Skylah muttered. "Well, I am Skylah, and this is my boyfriend, Slayzes."

"Nice to meet you, Skylah," Lucy kindly greeted.

"Hey Xavi! Lucy!" Drake yelled out walking towards them. "I see you met these two. So are you here for uniforms for Elemental Academy? You did say you were going there, unless that was a lie."

"Yes we are, but first of all my name is Slayzes, and this is my girlfriend, Skylah."

"Nice to meet you two," Aalto kindly greeted, it was like when they were introducing themselves to Lucy, and Xavi, except Slayzes introduced themselves, and Aalto kindly greeted them. Aalto snapped his fingers. "Got it!"

"Got what?" asked Lucy, staring at him like a cat curious for adventure.

"Why don't we do this. Slayzes, come with me and Drake, while Skylah goes with Lucy and Xavi? Then after we buy our clothes, we will eat at Vivian's Shrine across the road? I heard they make killer burgers!"
