The days that Molly and Amiee were there couldn't have gone slower. I was so glad when they made the announcement that they had finally picked out what grade I would be in. It wasn't just all of the work that Molly made me do to show that I could catch up to everyone else. It was their consent bickering and arguing. Boy, they loved to argue! It got really annoying really fast. Of course, when they told me that they were done and had to go back to headquarters, I wanted to know what I got in. And they couldn't tell me.
"Why?" I asked for the fifth time.
"Because we have to report it to headquarters to make it official and if we tell you and then headquarters doesn't approve then we just gave you false information." Molly explained.
"But what if it's right?" I asked, really annoyed.
"Yeah, what if it's right?" Amiee asked her sister. She was on my side, now.
"We just can't take that chance." Molly commented.
"Ok," Amiee said, letting the topic go. "Well, we'll keep in touch right Nita?"
"Yeah, we should get going. Bye Nita!" Molly said, heading towards the door.
"You go ahead Molly. I'm going to give Nita our e-mail addresses." Amiee called ahead, even though her sister was already out the door.
"Here, I'll go get a pen." I said, grabbing a pad of paper and searching for a pen.
"Ok," Amiee said, an evil smile playing at her lips. She took the pad of paper from my hands and took the pen that I had finally found. "Now, you'll want to thank me for this later, but I you're going to have to e-mail me personally."
I was kind of confused, but I let it go as she folded up the paper and handed it to me. "Write me!" She said and then flew out the door to catch up with her sister.
"Whatever." I said, opening the paper to see what she wrote.
"Hey Nita! Just to let you know. You're a second year!
Congratulations! Here e-mail me anytime! Work isn't
my only life you know! Lol! Talk to you later!
+Amiee+
I was going to scream! "Oh my-! Thank you Amiee!" I said, knowing she wouldn't hear me, but I didn't care. I made it! I was going to be a witch. Realization hit me. This was all real. I wasn't dreaming. My breath caught in my throat. I couldn't breath. I couldn't speak. What had I just gotten myself into? I collapsed onto my bed. How was I suppose to get my father to agree to this? Oh no. Now that I've gotten into the school. I can't go. I sighed, at least I got in. I mulled over my situations for a couple more minutes then climbed into bed and slept.
When I woke up, it was 4:30 a.m. I groaned. "What time did I go to sleep?" I asked myself.
I got up and out of bed, wishing that I could go back to sleep, but I knew I wouldn't be able to. "What to do?" I looked around my room. "This is getting old really fast." I said aloud. No one's here. I'm alone. I hate being alone. It's so lonely. That probably doesn't make any sense, but the only way I can stand being alone is if I'm thinking, because then I don't notice I'm alone. If I'm not thinking then I tend to notice and get scared. I have to have something to keep me busy all the time. At least with Molly and Amiee here it wasn't quiet. Well, I guess since there's no one here anyway, I could just blast some music. I walked over to my music rack and looked at my Cd's. As I reached to pick one up I felt a presence behind. It's kind of weird though, because I felt it as a cold chill. I turned around and there was a note there. Lying on the floor of my dorm. "When did that get there?" I asked.
"When I put it there." Came a female voice from behind me.
"What? Who are you? And why are you here?" I asked turning around to see a tall brunette with red streaked hair and hazel eyes.
"Ok, first questions first. 'What?' Well, I don't know about that one so I'm just going to say that I'm your messenger. Second question, 'Who are you?' I am Ashen. Ok? Now, last question, 'Why am I here?' I delivered that note right there that you still have to pick up." She pointed to the note I noticed earlier. "Well? I really don't have all day. I'm also suppose to take you shopping for our school supplies." She clapped her hands together. "I love shopping! So, get your message, read it, and let's go. They gave me money to buy both of our stuff." She gave an evil smile and I got a feeling that was the only smile she really gave.
I picked up my note. It was from the administrator. It was just a conformation saying that I was accepted as a second year in "The Four Souls Academy," I already knew all of this, except the name of my school, but I still felt all giddy and happy about the conformation of it.
Ashen just sighed and asked, "You got your schedule?"
I looked through the papers, "Yeah. I also have my school supplies list here too."
"What room did you get?" Ashen asked, looking at my papers over my shoulder.
"Room...It doesn't say. Why? What room do you have?" I asked looking at her.
Ashen looked thoughtful for a moment. "I wonder where you'll stay. Room 696 is my room, and there's only four people per room. Last year it was me, Kiera, Bria, and Wendy. Where would you go?" She pondered for a moment then said, "Oh well, I guess they'll figure it out when we get there. Let's go shopping." She grabbed my hand and we headed off.
"Where do you enter from?" She asked, after we got outside.
"From over there." I said, nodding my head in the direction, because she was still clinging to my hand. As we got closer I called to Colon and asked him to open the portal. He was a lot happier this morning, especially when I passed through. He said good luck to me in my new school, and if I ever needed any help to just ask any of his inanimate friends. He put a lot of emphasis on the word 'ask' too. Though, I didn't really mind.
We made it to the bookstore in record time. I love books and all, but I've never actually RAN, without stopping, to one.
"Let's go in here first." She said, cheerfully.
The first thing that popped in my mind, 'Really? No, I just thought we were just practicing for the million mile marathon.' Also considering that fact that I didn't really have a choice, I just answered, "I'm ok with it."
She smiled her evil smile and dragged me in.
First thing that came out of my mouth. "Holy-!" My jaw dropped. Ok, take the size of a normal bookstore. Now, multiply it by at least 50. That was what this looked like. I couldn't even see that ceiling! (There might not have been one.)
"Isn't it great?" Ashen asked, staring at my expression.
"How are we ever going to find our books?" I asked after a few minutes of pure awe.
"Just lay your list on the table." She said, jerking her head towards a small table that had just appeared.
"Ok." I said, walking towards the table and laying it down on it. As soon as I took my hand away, two, what looked like, scribbles came down and 'looked' at my paper.
When they left, every single book on my list started appearing out of nowhere.
"Here's mine." Ashen said, laying her list next to mine. "Both of these together please."
"Here, I'll pay you back." I said, reaching into my purse.
"No, no. Remember? I told you it was all on headquarters." She smiled and pulled out what looked like a credit card. And said, "Chicken Fingers." Instantly te total turned to zero and the paper said, 'Have a Nice Day.'
After that we grabbed our books and headed off to find our next item(s).
"Do you want to get a note-pen?" Ashen asked as we headed towards an ice cream parlor.
"A what?" I asked.
"A Note-pen. Wow! They said that you were a newbie, but they told me you were a smart newbie." Ashen said, heading into the parlor. "Here, I'll explain later. Let's grab something to snack on."
(Again, it's not like I have a choice...) "Okay." I said, just noticing my stomach beginning to growl.
