CLOXORA NORTH ACADEMY

Chapter 3: THE GIRLS

Hello lovelies, hope you guys are good, thanks for reading I really appreciate it and am waiting for your comments, yeah let me know what you feel about this book, it really means a lot to me, thanks and I love you muahhhhh...

The sound of a heel could be heard from the stage, madam Lilian came in with a man and a woman who dressed similarly to her in tow behind her

Good afternoon students

Good afternoon ma, some of us chorus

Am glad to welcome you all to Cloxora north academy, and to congratulate on your admission, as you all know it wasn’t easy for some of you to be admitted and going forward you have to keep track of yourself following the school rules and regulations strictly with no question ask so as not to be expelled out of the school

The hall was silent as a grave yard, but I didn’t obtain any form or do any test, so why am I admitted, I will have to ask madam Lilian later

For now you need to settle down and be assigned to your rooms, the boys will be leaving first by following Master Mark here she point to the man in suit beside her, now move it boys

The auditorium was again noisy and rowdy as the boys all file behind master Mark out of the hall

Now the ladies, follow Madam Susana. We all stand on our feet even and follow the woman who attended to us earlier

We reach the front of another building when Madam Susana stopped and faced us, there are two other ladies who are in their twenties maybe early twenties I guess, in a white trouser and top and a white sneakers, well finally people who dress like me at the entrance of the building with set of trays in front of them.

Now you all should line up in four rows, we all quickly adjust and do as she said, you are going to pick a number each from one from the left hand side here and when it gets to fifty you stop and from the back you pick a number from one again

We all pick a number each

Now if your number falls on the number they call, you come forward, the person who have the same number as you will be your room mate

They started calling the numbers from one and I bend down a bit shielding myself from the sun, my skin is tanned enough and it will take a while to reach me as my number is 37, 32, I heard them call, I stand back on feet well it doesn’t not take too long at all, soon I heard them call 37

I walk forward with three other girls that are also dressed like they are going to a ball or a dinner party, we got to the front and they hand us a tray each, well not like a tray tray, it kinda smaller than a tray and it made up of a very light wood, inside it is a key, a small scroll, and a small radio, am not sure if it a radio or not but it look like one

Once everyone of us has a wooden tray each, madam Susana raised her voice again to give us instructions

Now you proceed to your rooms

How do we know our rooms, a girl ask

Check the number on your tray, now move it, she clap her hands together and we all move inside, some hurry inside eager to find their room, I check the number on my tray and it what 37 again, I guess they gave us the number we choose

The room number is not written bodly or hanged on the door like they do normally, once you get to the door the number appears above it in golden colour and then disappears again, am not going to have another heart attack again in this ridiculous dream of mine. I guess I should just wait for number 36 girls who are waking just in front of me to find their room, then mine will be next I said, not wanting to go through the stress of finding where 37 is

You can’t find your room like that, a girl said right behind me, I look at her, she’s also 37, we both collect the tray together

Why I ask

Am Lady Flora of the Casias the 53rd descendants, she introduce herself extending her hand to me

Not again with all these old age stuff I mentally rolled my eyes taking her hand

Am Michelle I said

She look at me with a questioning look like are you done, is that all, can’t you introduce yourself properly, then I remember what Madam Lilian said earlier

Of the Orious the last descendants, I said not sure

Oh Lady Michelle of the Orious, she finally said , good to meet you

Same here

Wait what brought us here, I ask

What do you mean she ask again

Oh she did not understand my language

I ……

Oh you meant what discussion brought about our introduction, she cuts in

Yes yes, I said , oh my the way she puts her words so logical and eloquent with her accent wow

I said you can’t find the room in such manner

Oh yeah, why , I ask

Yeah, she said the exact words I say again as if it alien to her ears and foreign on her mouth

I mean yes, I reply

Okay, that’s because the rooms are not arrange numerically

Ok, I see, how do we find it then, I saw her close her eyes trying to be focused, she open them again

Follow me Lady Orious, I know where the room is

Oh God, what do I do with these people, Orious the last, no girl my name is Michelle, I mentally face palm myself following Flora of….of…., Oh s**t of what again, well something of the 53rd

Here she said finally when we reach the last room on the second floor, I looked up just in time to see the number 37 disappearing, oh well, here we are I said about to open the door when the 53rd stopped me, pardon me, I meant Flora, that’s her name right, I better be right because I won’t ask again, I personally hates it when people forget my name and ask me again

You should knock before going in since we are not the only ones sharing the room

Wow, etiquette of the highest order

I knocked as she said and heard a come in then I opened the door

The room is spacious with two queen size bed, the bed is so big that six people of my size can sleep on it and be comfortable

on both sides of the bed is a walk in closet and a dressing mirror. After the walk in closet to the far end of the is a bathroom I guess and it exactly the same with the second bed. Which means two beds, four walk in closet and dressing mirror with two bathrooms, wow so nice and way way bigger than my room

The door opened again, Flora and I with the girl who is already inside all turn to the door, a red head girl walk in banging the door so loud that Flora cover her ears

Do you mind to maintain decorum miss, I have a very sensitive ear, Flora said finally removing her hand from her ear

The red head girl ignored her stomping inside and looking around , what is all of these, she ask no one in particular atleast I thought she did, my room back at home is way bigger than this and they expect me to share this tiny room with four bunch of people I don’t know

Ok am kinda offended right there, bunch of people, she could have just say bunch of banana or maybe fools, am sure she’s one spoilt brat just like Clara

Suddenly we started hearing someone whispering, we all look to the side to find the girl who first enter the room talking to no one in particular, she has a long pitch black hair, if there’s any other word to describe a very very deep black, then that’s the colour of her hair, yes black can be deep too you know

Mother there’s no way am going to share a room with a blood sucking animal she said

Ok am freaking out right now, she’s not on the phone is she?, I ask Flora who looked at me like am saying gibberish

What's that? She ask

Oh Flora why do like to use a question to answer another question, I said sounding a little bit upset

The girls is just so gentle, she look at me with no change in her expression as if have not just shout at her

Am sorry if I offend you Lady Orious, I don’t seem to understand what you say now

Lady!!!, well we will settle that later, I said is she using a phone right now to call someone because I can’t see any on her hand and she’s now wearing a earpod

You mean mobile phones that the humans use,

I nod of course it humans that uses it not animals

No she’s not, I believe there’s nothing like that here in this world, she must be a witch

God lord, save my soul, have decided that am not going to use any shitty words today again.

Witch, like she flys, I ask not getting one bit of her words

I don’t know If she has the ability to fly but with the way she’s conversing right now with the other person invisible to us and her raven black hair with her silver iris am sure she’s a witch, only a witch has that ability, she explain and guess what, she has just fuel my confusion

Does that even exist I ask again

I see that we have a human who is not supposed to be here in our midst the red hair girl said walking closer to us

Mother, you can’t just leave, you have to do something I can’t share a room with a blood sucking thing , the girl shouts again

I guess she’s sick I said to the other two girls

You must be the sick one, how did you get here, the red hair girl ask me coming a little bit closer to me

What do you mean, between someone who is showing a sign of serious mental issue and I that is sane who is the sick one

You look so human, she said once again

Of course am human, what else will I be I counter

But you don’t smell like one, she said almost sniffing me

What the f…k are you doing, does humans have a certain smell, do you smell I said holding her hand to smell her like she did to me, I immediately drop her hand and staggered back

What happen, Flora ask me looking confused

She’s so cold, nope, she's f…k..ng cold, she’s cold more than an ice I said staring at the red hair girl, I rush back to her, are you sick oh my God she must be hypothermic, we need to rush her to the hospital, please call 911, I said panicking

The red hair girl shove me away from her, don’t touch me, do I look like am dying to you

Well she’s kinda right, I mean by now she should be flat out cold on the floor not standing and talking but how come she’s so cold

She’s right you are the sick one the girl with the black hair said standing up from the bed and walking close to us, I can see her clearly now she has a silver iris, she also has a strange eye but is nothing like mine, are we relative since she also has a strange eye

Can’t you see that she’s a vampire, she said to me pointing to the red hair girl

What, I laugh out loud clutching my stomach, girl you read and watch way too many movies and novel, you must be a lover of fantasy I said still laughing when the red hair girl Suddenly appear in front of me from the window area she stand a second ago, in fact a mini second ago, she laughed at me

But wait she’s not laughing, is she......I swear I saw her tooth elongate on each side of her mouth

Holly crap, I wasn’t going to curse again, vampires are real, I found the floor drawing me closer or was I drawing closer to it, my vision becomes blurry and I hear myself fall on the floor

I see the girls all rushed to me, asking if am okay plus the vampire girl

Don’t come close to me I shriek but my voice got lost in my throat, I wasn’t going to faint in my dream was I, what if I don’t wake u………..I blank out .
