The Academy’s Secret
Chapter One
I moaned as I rolled out of bed, that particular, sunny morning. Today was the day, I thought to myself, today was the day I was being shipped off to boarding school. I hate my mother for shipping me off to this school. She only wants to get rid of me, I knew that, but at least I was going to be with my best friend, Jessica.
I got ready slowly, imaging how this school was going to be. “It’s a really nice school, I hear sweetie. They don’t really accept many people you and Jessica should be happy,” my mother told me not to long ago. I was frightened by the idea of leaving all my friends and moving without my family. The thought of Jessica with me soothed my worries, for the moment.
I came downstairs in a daze looking at my bags packed and sitting by the doorway. I looked out the window to see my father talking to Jessica’s dad, most likely talking about who is going to drive Jessica and I to the school. They thought it was silly to take to car to go to the same place. I walked into the kitchen to see Jessica and my mother.
“Hey Jess, hey mom”, I spoke as I sat next to Jessica at the kitchen table.
“Hey Emma” Jessica said cheerfully.
“Ready for the academy?” my mother asked hopefully, I bet she wanted me to go now… but I didn’t.
“Sure mom” I replied with my head down, I was mere minutes from leaving this house and I was not coming back anytime soon. I hope the ride goes smoothly. As we pulled out of the drive i swallowed I didn't want to go. To leave, Jessica senced my fear and smoothed my hand" Its going to be alright" she smiled at me. She was always the cheerful one. Sighing I nodded and fell asleep.
Later in the car with Jessica, my father, and hers I had time to think about what this school was going to be like. I've seen pictures, but I picture doesn't really discribe a school very well. Hoping for the best as we pulled into the drive of the school, I look at the castle like school. With its moss covered stones and its colorful gardens, it was like stepping into a real life fairy tale. The towers touched the sky, I looked at the students as we passed in the car, they looked perfect, too perfect, I knew I wasn’t going to fit in, but oh well better enjoy the scenery while it lasts.
