"Goodbye honey"

"(Phew) that's all I need to pack, I guess"
"Honey make sure you don't forget anything" mum shouted from down the stairs. Was

Okay, so I never knew this week was going to pass by this fast, I mean it felt just like yesterday when I came to New Orleans now I'm packing my bags and preparing for college, why can't they extend the break period for just another week
"Honey I'm going to miss you (sobs)"
"Oh no, mum don't start now, you knew this was bound to happen someday and I'm not going far, it's just a few minutes away from home"
"I know but what's the merit if I won't be able to see my boy, you're sure you want to go to this college I mean I can find another college for you, you know"
(Urgh) "mum, we talked about this already and look I'm running late, I'll call you when I get there"
"Sure you don't want me to give you a ride ?"
"Bye"
(Urgh) mothers and their drama. Ok, now that I know I won't see her or come back home for a very long time is making me feel giddy, but this is what it's supposed to feel like when you're going to college, right ?
"(Sighs), Viskar Academy here I come"
    As I get to the gate of the school, it looked different from before. It didn't look old again, it looked beautiful.
"Somehow this place feels a little different from the last time I came here" I say as I step in
"Well that's because the session is about to begin therefore the supernatural vibe is in full swing"
"Professor Kristean I thought I asked you to stay out ?"
"I did, you were the one who said that out loud"
"And don't forget the newbie's who don't know who they are and how to control their gifts"
"Dean J"
Great now I get to be escorted by two professor's on the first day of college
"See you later"
"Yeah"
Did they also practice speaking at the same time cause I could have guessed they said the same thing at the same time, maybe that's also a 'family thing'. Well where am I supposed to go now ? Oh good, there's a group of people there maybe they know where I could drop my bags
"Hey uhm, my name's Kevin, I'm new here and I think I'm lost, I don't know exactly where to place my bags"
"Well hello there newbie"
The girl with the ginger hair said
"Honey, don't act like you're not new"
The guy said
"Don't honey me"
Ginger hair threw back at him and their bickering session started
"Pay no attention to them, I know I don't, I'm Emma, the guy is Matt and ginger hair girl is Katherine"
"Oh hi, am I late cause I notice none of you are with any of your stuff ?"
"Oh well, we dropped it off at the registration office"
Oh no not again, not the registration office
"I can follow you if you like"
"Oh I would love to, thanks"
"Guys were on our way to drop off Kevin's stuff"
"Okay, so do you know your gifts yet ?"
I ask trying to start a conversation
"Oh no, I heard we would find out in the evening, isn't that exciting ?"
"I'm sure it is, do you know how we are going to find out ?"
"Oh I think we get to stand in the hall of mirrors with each of us facing a mirror and your trueself will emerge"
"Wow, you sure did your findings before coming here"
"Oh, well, my aunt's a sage and she was a student of this school"
"Ohkay, that's cool"
"We're here"
"Hello everyone, this is the Dean of Viskar Academy and I have a message for you so if you would please pay attention, for those of you at the east wing I need you to head to the direction on your left while those on the west wing please to the direction on your right. And if you're in the registration office, the lady there will lead you. Thank you for your time, you can get back to what you were doing".
"Where did that come from ?"
"He's in your mind, it's one of his brother's many gifts"
"Wow you heard that too ?"
"Yup, and that's not the first time I'm hearing his voice, I bet we should follow the crowd then"
"Yes"
Oh, it's that same lady again, I just hope I don't get temporary blindness this time around from the light
"We have reached the east wing, if you would please head to the direction on your left, you will find your way there"
Okay, I'm beginning to think her name is polite
"Wow, I never knew we would be this little, I mean my aunt said the hall couldn't fit them all"
"Well we would find out very soon.
I think we're here, oh my goodness, I'm sure your aunt was right, we sure are much. How are we going to find Katherine and Matt ?"
"Looks like we found you first"
"Oh hey there Katherine"
"Oh hey there you, we've been looking for you two"
"Hey, don't blame them, you know how far the registration office is and how crowded this place is"
"I'm not blaming them dude, I'm just saying........"
"Guys don't start now"
What's happening, why is the ground rumbling
"Hey guys, what's happening ?" Katherine asked
"I think it's an earthquake""
"Matt, it can't be an earthquake, look I think they're causing this"
Okay, why are they approaching us and what are they saying?
"Great now we're surrounded" Matt said
"What are they ?"
"Witches Katherine, I think they're witches" Emma replied
Wow, did they just make a stage and decorate it ?
"Wow that's cool, I wonder what other stuffs they can do"
"Why don't you go ahead and ask them Matt ?"
Ok, I admit this is pretty cool, I mean they made a stage come up from the ground and they made seats off flowers, wow
"Cool fancy seats, smells nice too" Matt said rushing to seat on one
"After you" I offered Emma
"Thanks"
It's cool how within seconds, an open field can be decorated with a tent made of vine covered in flowers. I mean only God knows how strong these witches are
"Okay, so I think that's the Dean, he's so cute but not as cute as that other guy"
"Katherine they look alike, stop fussing and by the way I'm sure he's way older than you"
"I welcome you all to Viskar Academy, I am Dean Jeremy Krijinaviskar but you can call me Dean J,  on my right side are Professor Kristean, and Miss Tessa, while on my left side are Professor Sam and Professor Zach. Please welcome them as they come to do a proper introduction of themselves, Miss Tessa"
(Applause)
Hey that's the registration office girl, so her name's Tessa, what a lovely name.
"Hi everyone, my name is Tessa, I am a Werewolf and the head guard of the Academy. It's nice to meet you all"
(Applause)
"Hello everyone, my name is Zach, I am a Werewolf and the Professor of serenity. I look forward to meeting you all"
(Applause)
"Hey, the name's Sam, I also am a Werewolf and the Professor of exercise and control. I look forward to meeting you"
(Applause)
"Hello everyone, my name is Jason Kristeanaviskar but you can call me Professor Kristean, I am the Professor of all things magic and also the librarian of the Academy. So if you need anything, you can come to me".
(Applause)
Just as the applaud died down, the Professors left the stage in two groups to stand in front of us, one group on our left and the other on our right
"Hello again, I need everyone to stay calm, now you will be divided into two groups, the group on the left will follow the Professors by their side while the group on the other side follow the Professors on their side and by nightfall you are all expected to be here. Thank you"
And then the rumbling came again and the stage went back to ground level and we were somehow divided like some force separated us
"You have any idea why we are being separated ?" I ask Emma as she watch Matt and Katherine move to the other side
"I don't know, I just hope I get to see them by nightfall"
"You will"
"You think ?"
"I know".
                         *********
So apparently, we are going to go and find our supernatural gifts then we go to our dorms, I just can't wait to find out what gift I possess
"I guess we're being taken into the hall of mirrors, but I don't see the other group" Emma said worried. She doesn't need to worry we would be fine, I don't know how but we will.
I see why her aunt called it the hall of mirrors, every inch of the hall is covered in mirrors.
Just like she said Professor Sam asked each of us to face a mirror and Dean J came behind everyone handing out ribbons to those he had met
Okay that's weird, why are they whispering?
When he reached Emma he whispered something in her ear and she whispered back and then he gave her a purple ribbon which she tied on her hair
Okay, now's my turn
"Hey Kevin, what do you see ?"
"I see myself standing"
"Obviously, what else do you see, don't you see any change in your physical appearance like an animal's aura or an array of colors or even a book ?"
"No, I don't see any of those but I'm paler than usual and my eyes are a bit hollow and yeah my hair is white"
"What?"
"I just told you what I saw"
"Okay that's new, uhm you know what, when your group is done meet Professor Sam and ask him to show you my office"
"Okay, that's not weird at all"
Why is it me that's odd, (urgh)
Great, every one is done and has a ribbon except me
"Hey, Kevin what color of ribbon were you given ?"
"Well apparently, my gift doesn't get a ribbon but a visit to the Dean's office"
"Wow, that's serious"
"I know Matt, I know, well I better get going. See you later"
