"Am I going to have to drag you all into the car for this thing?" Blake questioned as all the teenagers groaned, answering the man's question before he sighed in near defeat.
It is now day thirty of finding out the truth about Vixen and the four teenagers heading through the mirror to god knows where. And in the past twenty seven days, the house has been nothing but teenager-induced chaos for Blake.
None of them will leave the house to go do something, except for Faith who only goes to Euanthe's shop and back. Just last week, Blake had to drag two kids out of the house to help him bring in the groceries.
None of them will really talk to him except his daughter. It took him a day or two before finding a few of them huddled in a room, talking quietly before going silent when they saw him by the door. When they eventually do talk to him, it's just teenage attitude and harshness that just stuns Blake enough for him to be speechless.
He had no idea what to do.
Blake stood by the stairs as the teenagers descended, all five of them along with Jocelyn, Holly's mother, and surprisingly to Blake, Holly had come out of her room for the first time in days.
"She's coming tonight?" Blake questioned Jocelyn as the woman nodded her head "Only if me and Faith stay with her at all times, that was her condition" "Right then" the man turned his head back to the teenagers, Faith groaned "Why the hell are we going to this thing anyway?" she snapped the question as Blake kept himself calm. "The basic and mandatory classes of majority of the high schools in Mid England are English, Maths, History and Geography, Science, PDHPE (Personal Development, Health and Physical Education) and Art for years 7 to 10" he started to answer the question. "However, years 8, 9 and 10 get to pick four more classes to take throughout the year" Blake continued "Year 8, you'll have a term to experience each of the four classes whilst year 9 and 10, you'll take two of the classes alongside the mandatory ones the entire year whilst the other two will be split between two semesters" the teacher explained. "Having this experience prepares you for your senior years, year 11 and 12, where you'll choose a minimum of five classes to take for your Higher School Certificates" "Aka, the HSC we were told about back in the human realm" Lilly added to her father's explanation "The Mid Realm has that here too?!" Faith whined "Two more doomed years added to our lives" Jacob almost sobbed as Blake rolled his eyes. "You kids have three years before you have to worry about all of that" the man told them before ushering them out to the car.
It was a short yet very silent drive over to the high school and when they arrived, the old handmade banner stretched along the school fence by the gate said it all.
'Class Selection & Enrolment Day'. A day students choose classes and extra-curricular classes, and new students to enrol at the school.
Year groups were obviously split across the school: year 7s in the school hall for enrolment and information, year 8s in 'Computer Room 1', year 9s in 'Computer Room 2', year 10s in the art classroom and the senior students, years 11 and 12, were in the school cafeteria.
The kids poured out of the car along with Blake and Jocelyn before walking over and onto school grounds. Blake had lead the group to 'Computer Room 1'.
"Lilly!" Madison exclaimed, hugging the ghost girl as she stepped into the room, Lilly immediately blushing and smiling at the demi-cat hypnotic whilst the others stepped past her, including her oblivious father "Great to see you've made such a great friend" Blake smiled at his daughter before walking over to one of the other teachers in the large computer room. Madison let go of Lilly and raised a brow "...he doesn't know yet, does he?" she questioned as Lilly shook her head "And the others?" "N-no" the ghost answered, Madison smiled a little as she took Lilly's hand into her own "You okay with me parading my girlfriend around?" Madison asked as Lilly's face turned a little more red "Yeah" she answered with a little smile.
"Normal classes- Agriculture, Design and Textiles, Technology, Industrial Technology, Graphics, Food Technology, Child Studies... boring stuff" Faith stated as Holly stepped forward, reading over the board listing class options for each year group "Celestial Studies, Open-Realm Languages, Witchcraft and History, Military Studies, Military Defence and Combat- non normal classes" Holly said, eyes slightly lighting up a little after reading the mention of witchcraft. "Anything catch your eye, girls?" Jocelyn asked, joining her daughter and niece by the listing board "We're both diffidently doing Witchcraft and History" Faith stated as Holly nodded her head, agreeing with her cousin "Don't know what else to pick though- are we seriously only allowed four classes that only run for a term each?" Faith questioned, turning to her aunt "Yeah, that's the class system for you... I'll get you both a selection sheet each and I can help you narrow it down" Jocelyn offered. "That'll be great, thanks, Aunt Jocelyn" Faith beamed, watching her aunt walk off to a table with a few large stacks of paper before turning her head back to Holly "Hols? you alright?" Faith asked as the other girl nodded her head, still looking at the board "Okay... if you need a minute, let me know, kay?" "Okay".
"Blake" the man flinched a little, turning around to face Mr Colin "Hey- I noticed Corey, Vixen and Angelina aren't with you" the other teacher stated as Blake sighed "Them and Sean are currently... missing" "Missing?" Mr Colin questioned, brows knotting "Okay look, only the council, army leaders and Principal Hext know about this- the new Grey Leader tricked them into going through a Parnal Mirror to god knows where right before it shattered" Blake told the other teacher. Seriousness plastered over Mr Colin's face "Right- shit, you still haven't told the royal families?" "Well Euanthe knows so I'm guessing she told the rest of them-" "If she actually told them, Jackal would be holding you by the throat by now" Mr Colin stated and Blake couldn't help but agree with him.
If Jackal knew, he was gonna immediately kill Blake.
"On the subject to royal family members, how is Euanthe?" Mr Colin asked "Just asking since I noticed you two a lot more closer lately" he stated.
Euanthe hesitated for a second before grabbing another thing out of her bag, something wrapped in white "I um... also found something that I thought you should have" she stated yet instead of handing it directly to Blake, she placed it on the coffee table in between them...
Blake's face warmed a little as he forced himself to answer "Yeah- she's good, I-I think" he told Mr Colin who raised a brow "Alright...?" the teacher responded.
