"HUH."

As my long, dark red strands of hair swayed in the wind, all I could ever do was stare at the scene in front of me with agonizing dread.

(Hol' up a sec. This couldn't be the place, right?)

Busting my phone out of my pocket, I quickly tapped on my contacts app.

You: A u n t i e

Aunt Emerald: What's the matter, buttercup?

You: the directions r correct right

Aunt Emerald: Yes!

You: the map on my phone said "32nd Era Street, First Turn to the Left"

Aunt Emerald: Yup, that's correct

You: Wait what

Aunt Emerald: I thought I told you to visit the college before the orientation

You: I had an appointment with the therapist

Aunt Emerald: Ohhh. okay that explains it, but this is your school now

You: Auntie I wanna go home

Aunt Emerald: Scarlett! It's just orientation today, you'll do just fine. Plus I paid for your tuition already anyways. Good luck! I love u

Looking at the building's structure, the walls were painted a fine color of porcelain white, glass windows and doors clear as day, and the center of the building stood a fountain with a statue of a cupid pouring water from the vase it held. Inspecting the campus in more detail, there were four smaller buildings that surrounded the center area in total alongside the huge one. I also quickly glimpsed and saw there were more buildings at the back area, but my line vision couldn't guess how many there were. And as expected from online reviews of the academy, there were many rose-themed decals on the marble gates and rose shrubs that lavished the entryway of the building.

(I think my brain just short circuited.)

In times like these, the average person would try to repose themselves right? WELL, would you be able to do that after just now figuring out you were secretly enrolled into the country's top academy?

"Welcome to the Grande Blume Academy, new student! The orientation should be starting soon," a lady with short, blond hair at the front grins at me. She wore a white, long-sleeved blouse with a pocket that held pens. Her navy skirt flowed down all the way to her feet, and I could only assumed that she wore heels due to the clacking sound I heard once she faced in my direction. She was definitely one of the staff due to the GB Rose Emblem that was pinned to her blouse pocket.

(Grande Blume is Ziones's cream of the crop in the entire country, but I swear I only hear that students with balls of steel would enroll here, and the ones that survive become real champions. Yet, the ones that fail to graduate tell stories of horror... Wait but ME? Of all people? Here? No way. Time to make a beeline back home.)

Suddenly, the staff lady at the front who greeted me earlier tugs at my arm.

"Miss! The entrance to the facility is that way!"

(Crap!! I have to bail out of this quickly!)

"Sorry, but I think I'm at the wrong campus! I'll be leaving right now..."

"Nonsense! That ring on your pinky shows that you're definitely a student! Now, please allow me to scan it if you will~" she pulls a pen from her blouse pocket and then takes my left pinky with the ring on it. Next, a blue light that emits from the pen then shines on my ring, just like a laser beam. The light then reveals a holographic screen above the woman's head with the following information.

"Oh my! You are one oddball, the database seems to have messed up your student ID! It'll only take a few-"

DING DING! DING DING! DING DING DING~

All but too soon, the staff lady lets go of my hand. She then faces the opposite direction and grabs a pile of paper.

"I know orientation should be starting, but- oh she's gone."

Beep beep!

"Hm? Seems like that student's data was fixed. I wonder what she is and where she stands in the ranking system... OH GOODNESS GRACIOUS!"
