The Elementals (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 8

"Welcome to Mystique Academy," Principal Nicholson gestured proudly to the building behind her.

I looked up in awe,"Wow...this place is just..." I struggled to find the right words.

"Amazing? Fascinating? Mystical?"

"Exactly."

Principal Nicholson glanced sideways at me,"I have to go now, I'm running a little late. Will you be alright by yourself?"

I nodded. I might have looked confident and as cool as a cucumber, but inside I was this wreck of nerves.

"Well, okay then. Good luck, Allison." She entered the building, taking large, brisk steps.

I tentatively stepped in a few seconds after her. Looking around, I took in my surroundings. I took one step foward and stopped, examining the machine in front of me. Suddenly, a digital screen popped out, making me jump out of my skin. The words 'Name' appeared along with a keyboard. I slowly placed a finger out and typed in 'Allison Lovett'.

More words: 'Attendance taken. Do you need anymore help?'

I pressed the 'Yes' button. Icons came out, Classes, Attendance, Schedules, Maps...

Hitting the 'Maps' button, I answered the questions asked. "Supernatural...Elemental." I murmured, fingers flying on the floating keyboard.

"Element...Ice," I pressed 'Done'.

A map appeared, with a pale blue path highlighted. I stared at it, trying to commit it to memory. I set off with only 5 minutes to start of classes.

I climbed up to Level 4 and reached a pale blue door. The label next to it read 'Elementals, Ice, Class 5' with a picture of a snowflake.

Opening the door, I was met with seventeen pairs of eyes. The last pair landed on me,"Allison Lovett? I'm your teacher, Ms Kelly. Class, please give a warm welcome to our newest student."

Everyone clapped. After the applause died down, Ms Kelly said,"Allison, please take a seat next to Rachel. Rachel, raise your hand please."

A hand near the back shot up. I went over, feeling all eyes still on me. I sat down and turned to my table mate. Rachel was a girl with black-brown hair and brown eyes.

"Hi, nice to meet you, Allison. I'm Rachel Utah."

I shook her outstretched hand,"You're an Ice?"

She laughed, "Everyone here is an Ice, that's why we're in the same class."

I blushed. Stupid me - 1 point.

"It's okay," She shrugged it off,"You're new here, so you don't know much yet."

"I guess..."

"Hey," Rachel turned back to me,"You wanna sit with me at lunch?"

"Oh," Wow, a new friend already in an hour. Good job, Ally. "Your friends won't mind?"

"Friend," she corrected, "Don't stress, Maddie'll be cool with it."

"Okay, if it's alright then I don't see why not."

"Yay!" She cheered.

I beamed. Rachel's outgoing and friendly attitude already put me at ease. All my nerves were calm and relaxed. Now, I hoped the rest of the day would go just as smoothly.
