Aida (First Day of School at Gabriel Academy)
I went to meet Principal Willson at his office to explain that maybe it was a mistake to put my room in that room. The principal office and the classrooms are downstairs. There were no students in corridors after breakfast.
I saw that door read Principal Office, but it was closed. Next to it was the "Sub-Principal Office." I thought someone there might help me. I opened the door. You would expect a woman with a nasty look, but instead, there was a funny man in a colored coat, who was facing the desk. He was wearing sunglasses. It seemed odd to me. Who wears sunglasses inside an office in the morning!
"Excuse me, do you know where Willson is in these moments?" I inquired him.
He tilted his head and observed me, "And why are you looking for him?" he asked.
"I genuinely think that there was a possible mistake in rooms' divisions," I explained.
"What's wrong with your room?" he asked again.
"It's indeed full of boys," I tried not to look like a lady in trouble.
"Why? Are you not a boy?" His following question overwhelmed the little nerves I possessed.
"Girls can have short hair, too! Do I look like a boy to you?!" I sighed.
Just a few hours here and I had run out of patience.
"Hahaha..." he chuckled once more and rose his hand. He performed an unusual gesture by hand, and I could not walk. Not on my free will. He flexed his little finger, and I started to walk against my will!
"What the hell..." I cursed the situation I was getting into.
I was getting closer to him, no matter how I much resisted.
"I am done with, you rascals. Fix your minor problems by yourselves," he stated. He didn't look funny anymore.
At that critical moment the boy with the icy look, Eduard entered the office.
"Hey, Felton..."
Eduard instantly froze and looked at me. I regard the man in a colorful coat. He performed another gesture with his hand. Scared, I closed my eyes tight. The other moment I found myself in my roommate's arm.
"Oh my, my, how youthful!" Felton commented. "I will put you two in the school press with PHOTOGRAPHY...
I couldn't stand the man with that strange coat, anymore.
"Hey, don't do it..." I yelled, but...
"Smile..."
Flash, the shoot of the camera and nothing else.
"Hey, friend, do you think you can delete the picture?" I plead to Eduard.
"..." he stared at me.
"Or forget it!" I whispered. Let's leave him deal with the grotesque man. If I'm not open-minded then, I'm crazy. It is possible they hospitalized me after an accident that I do not remember, and they had administered to me medicines that cause hallucinations. Suppose that no. Should I go to Elias? I did not find principal Willson to explain to me, but after a little, the lesson starts.
I went to the cafeteria where I found a group of girls. All of them had the uniform, which one I forgot.
"Excuse me, do you know where Elias is?" I asked.
"I think he is in the gym."
I thanked her and went to the gym. Along the corridor, there no way I couldn't spot the damage. Burnt spots or visible sliced wall track. What is this school? I arrived in front of a room, which seemed to be the boys' changing room. Luckily none was there, but I stumbled at someone's leg, who for my shock, was the red-haired roommate.
"Hey, do you have a death wish?" he shouted.
"I'm sorry... I stumbled," I apologized.
"You're the new roommate..." he observed. "Join my group."
"Eh?" I regard him once and had no idea what he said.
"I've witnessed your powers. It may be helpful to wipe things off and with some practice, you could do a pretty skilled soldier."
"I'll think about it..." I answered quickly. When I was about to get away, he eagerly grasped one of my hands.
How dare he? I glared fiercely at him with annoyance, "Hey, buddy, let me go."
"I refused your request!" he replied. Suddenly everything darkened me and I felt myself lifting up in the air.
I found myself in the infirmary and tied with cuffs. Close to me was Principal Willson, who looked humorous.
"Oh, you woke up... It's been almost a day since you fell asleep."
"Oh, Principal Willson! What happened? Is William right?! You aren't going to denounce me, are you?"
"Nah! They would instantly bring you here again. As for William, he will be fine. He almost died by air shortage, but it's good. What happened to you?!"
"I do not know, I think I am going delirious!" I sniffled.
"What? Powers do not determine how insane someone is, their marital status may though. If I ask you now what happened before, will you answer?!"
"Has it happened in the past? Part of these memories I would like to forget like others.
"Let me go!" I told a bulky boy, who was grabbing the hair. - You are hurting me..."
"Why do not you complain to your parents?" he provoked.
"But she has no parents. She is just an orphan!" Another guy was standing up.
"Let me tell you..." My eyes darkened and the air moved around me like crazy. I left as far away from them. I went to the place where they think everyone like me belonged. That place welcomed me with hands opened, even though horrible soberness underwent it. That would offer them happiness. But even those children were scared of my skills. Once this little bird fell from the tree. I created an air stream so it won't get hurt, when it had came down. I thought the other children also could do that, but they were afraid of those. The caretaker certainly did not believe it but advised me that if I wanted someone to adopt me, I have to act good. They were so frightened of this - "my normal". I followed her advice, anyway. Since I did not use them anymore, other children played with me and a family adopted me after a year. I realized that if you do not want to be alone, you shouldn't be different from people who surround you. I hadn't used my powers until today.
"When I was a kid, I almost kill some kids that were bullying me. I was so afraid of myself so I didn't use my power. Now please help me to understand what's happening here, what is this school, these students? You must know... please!"
"All right," he slapped his knees with his hands. "First: this school addresses young people who possess powers and abilities that people can only watch in movies. Second: We did not know you did not know that this school is for such students. I thought you were a Gifted student, who came for the first time in our school. We test our students' blood to discover other Gifted students or possible bloodline. Something went wrong, and we tossed you at Gifted file without looking. You will stay in the room you are currently in because it matches your power. Third: Since you have discovered your strength after a long time, I will tell the teachers about the change. Today you are sentenced and will go to the detention room with William. Any questions?"
"Yes, why I have to stay in that room?" I asked with a loud voice. "Why do I have the shackle on my wrists?!"
"We made the shackles with a special metal called Kaisek, to keep away from away troubles people like you, now I'm freeing you," he responded and took away my shackles. "We divide the rooms according to the powers of students. Now that you are feeling better, go attend your classes. You have PE in your second period so go catch up...
He got up the chair and add, "Do not forget telling William that you will have the punishment with him."
The infirmary is the last place I wanted to stay any minute longer. Initially, I went to my room. There was William.
