Chapter 3. Fits and Misfits

792 Words
Someone was shaking me their fingers felt icy cold and warm at the same time which made me furrow my brows in my sleep so who exactly was this to have both heat and cold at their fingertips at the same time? I opened my eyes to find Karen she had been the one trying to wake me up " oh about time you woke up, the plane is about to land" she said resting her back on her seat, I sigh of course leave it to Zara to embarrass herself " sorry my aunt always said  I sleep like the dead" I sa y and it earns me a chuckle from her. The plane landed and the students got out I was excited yet scared at what I might find walking out the plane to where I am guessing is the hanger to see about 7 other planes parked on the hanger now that's a shocker. A bus came shortly to convey us from there to the school I didn't see Karen and when I turned back to check for her in the bus I met different gazes some curious, others indifferent and some glared I took that as my cue to stop gazing and turned back.  we drove on a straight tarred rood surrounded by bushes and a thick forest for about 20 minutes and finally, the giant hall I had been seeing from afar came into view the gate read" welcome to Rankeda University" The gate looked old fashioned which made me wonder why a school with not just one private jet but about 8 private jets would do little to nothing about their security. The gate had some flowers on it from a plant that wounded its self ontop the gate it was beautiful and weird at the same time. Most students came down with their luggage on a trolley and began walking towards different buildings.  I panicked when I came down I didn't know where to go and no one seemed willing enough to stop and help me " lost are we?" a voice said behind me I turned back to find a guy taller than me with dark hair that might have well been styled by Zeus himself, he had freckles and his lips looked bloody full lips had a well-defined nose and a well-cut jawline he was handsome. His eyes were a stormy grey speaking of which he had an amused look on his face and I flushed when I realized he had caught me checking him out he smiled and said " oh don't worry you are not the first to acknowledge this beauty" he said playfully while pointing at his face which earned a chuckle from me " new here yeah?" he asked more like a rhetoric question " yup today is my first day her," I say pointing towards my big box which looked ridiculous compared to the smaller boxes some students were dragging around this time he chuckles"don't worry you'll get used to it its always like that at first" he says " well I hope so," I say with a sigh he doesn't ask further though I sense he wanted to ask me something else instead he says " my name is Darren by the way" placing a hand over his chest in a gentleman like manner   I smile looking up to his playful stormy eyes "I am Zara" I say and at that moment I felt an echo resonate from my voice. We began walking towards what he described as administrative block  I looked around as we walked the school was beautiful the land was covered in a velvet green and the rooftops were a deep shade of Maroon. It had some fog that never seemed to go away and yet rather than look horrifying the view was breathtaking I realized that most students were normal like me or at least they looked like normal human beings and not like the godlike beings I boarded earlier with the revelation that the godlike beings where the oddballs lifted the weight off my chest.. the Drive-in had statues of wolves and men on either side. The walkways were adorned with beautiful flowers on either side the flowers were breathtaking, unlike any flower I had ever seen. In front of the main school building, there was a large fountain which had 4 statues round it a wolf a large one at that, a man, a woman with elf-like ears and a man with a hat. The water flowing from the fountain looked red and yet on getting to the bowl it was crystal clear and shiny almost hurt my eyes to look at. At this point, I didn't need a guru to tell I stuck out like a sore thumb.
