CLOXORA NORTH ACADEMY

Chapter 2: THE ACADEMY

Welcome back guys, I hope you enjoyed the last chapter, let me know if you love this book by commenting your thoughts about it and if you do kindly share, I love you all.

Arrrgh, am so frustrated right now and what the hell just happened, I was in my room with mom and Uncle Caleb right, I said to myself trying to recount what just happened now, and then a white midst, and am here in the forest, like did we just teleported

That’s just whole s**t, it can’t happen right can it, I ask my self in the middle of the forest laughing hysterically like a crazy weirdo, oh well I forgot am weird, oh my God!, My lens did I take it I can’t risk been seeing walking around like this I need to get out of this forest find a payphone and call………….. the word got stuck in my mouth as it was wide open, hollysh….t, what the hell, mom always warn me not to use those words but these are the perfect words for the things unfolding in my eyes right now

What else could describe a woman appearing from a smoke coming out suddenly from the ground right in front of my damn eyes when am not in a theater watching movies, oh well I guess all of this must be a dream, yeah it a dream

Must be Michelle, the woman said rather than asking

Yes who are you? And how did you know me , thinking if it a dream then I could just be sassy and go with the flow right Welcome to the CLOXORA NORTH ACADEMY

What did you say Clox…what?, I ask

What’s your password miss, she ask

I looked at the woman who is just so surreal to be here in her perfect ironed suit and perfectly pack hair that fall at her back in a high ponytail, what is she doing in a forest, oh I forgot she materialize out of the ground

Your password miss, she ask again disturbing my train of thought

I don’t have all day to spend on you only, I have other students waiting for me to clear them in, she said again holding a scroll with a feather trying to write something down,

Who is this and in what age is she using a scroll and a feathered brush or is it pen, whatever

Am Michelle but I think you have another person or perhaps you are just lucky to know my name, even if this is a dream can’t you come for me an apple tablet instead of this old thing, is just so contradicting to your dressing, I mean this suit looks like it Armani right?, I ask

Miss Michelle Orious, the descendants of Orious the last, she called more like announced, this is your last chance, your password now or I leave you here and allow any of the cruel creatures who lives in this forest to get their hands on you, am sure they will be glad to have such a nice meal all to them selves, I heard a shrieking howling in the distance as if to confirm her word

Oh my, this is not a dream, wait password, the strange man said something about password, what was it, Scotch egg, I answered more to myself than to her not so sure.

Correct she said, she must have a great hearing to hear me

You have been registered, you are welcome once again, shall we she ask stretching forth her hands to a wooden door I didn’t notice it existence a since like thirty minutes have been here, she was about walking to the door asking me to follow her when a white midst just like the one that fill my room earlier swirls around in a circular motion just like a mini tornado

A girl and a boy of about my age was seen clearly after the midst disappear with a luggage by her side

Oh I never knew another Orious descendants are on their way, the woman said checking her scroll, she squint her eyes like someone who has years of experience as maybe a secretary or an escort as she said

Miss Clarabelle and Mr Karanne, descendants of Orious second to the last, she announced as she did earlier

Wait are we like family then, I said out loud

And who are you, the girl said with displeasure clearly shown on her face

Oh easy there girl, I can be bitchy too, am Michelle I answered

So, she said again arrogance radiating from her, madam Lilian, she called facing the woman, I guess that her name because she just answered

Yes Miss Clarabelle

Just call me Clara and you can call my twin brother Kara, shall we go now I can wait, have been waiting for ages to be here I can’t be here after years of waiting and be delayed by one

Weirdo…. I said in my mind finishing for her

Nuisance she stated,

What me?!, Did she just call me a nuisance, who is this….wait she did not call me weirdo, I must have slip on my lens earlier, oh thank God I thought I was just caught again, but who the hell is she to call me a nuisance

Hey watch it Clara, Kara her twin brother as she said replied, why would you call her a nuisance, am sorry miss, I apologize on my sister’s behalf, he bowed slightly

What is wrong with this people and they are old mentalist, what with the miss and all

It okay I scoff waving it away

Kara why would you bow your dignify and honoured self in front of a stranger who for all we know might be from a low class family which am sure of claiming to be a family member, she cannot be an Orious

Ladies and gents we don’t have all day, I welcome the three Orious to CLOXORA NORTH ACADEMY

Are you sure you are not mistaken madam Lilian, she’s an Orious?!, that’s impossible

Are you going to teach me my job or you want me to take special care to you and be strict on your first day, madam Lilian suddenly change from the composed person she was before to the one who threatened me the other time.

Clara shut her mouth and nodded just the way I comply earlier when she ask for my password

Now your password she ask facing the twins

Do you have to ask my grandfather………

No matter who you are, we follow protocols here, your password or I send you back and you can wait another year to be admitted, madam Lilian cut her short

Orious the great, they both chorus

Good, she write something on her scroll, even though you are schedule to come in tomorrow, regardless of the reason you showed up now am sure it can be waved, follow me now she said sternly

I followed her immediately atleast she’s d only human here we’ll part from the twins am sure she will get me back to my mom if I explain the whole situation to her

Wait she said, looking back, why are you taking that in, she point to the luggage Clara was dragging behind her

It my precious belongings, she reply a little timid now

Miss Clara need I remind you that this academy does not allow that, only you can enter through this door and nothing more

Okay madam Lilian, I will call someone to take this back to the castle

Oh that won’t be necessary, she replied Clara, pointing her pinky finger at the big box, a yellow light surge from her finger landing on the box, it took me a while to realize she just set the box on fire

What the hell, I clamp my hand in my precious chest which seems to be having various heart attack over another with different mysterious things that has been happening

God have mercy I don’t want to die from this dream please God wake me up right now I prayed closing my eyes

Clara loud voice actually woke me but am still here with them instead of the comfort of my room

You knew this is not allowed and I clearly told you but you are just so adamant, Kara scold her, now let’s go he said more like commanding to me

We all walk through the door which shut firmly behind us, I look back but all I saw is buildings, tall big buildings, what is going on, I wanted to curse but how many times do I have to do that in just a single day.

Go straight from here and enter that building you will find the rest there, I have other students to clear in, madam Lilian said before vanishing right before my eyes

I made a gesture to rub my eyes just to be sure of what I just saw but I dare not, I don’t want to remove my lens, other students likes us starts to materialize from various doors that vanish as quickly as they appear, I started walking towards the building when I see more than half of us doing so

Some faces are smiling happily, some already have groups I guess they came together, chattering away, only a few people look like me, well not entirely like me, am in a rip jean with a black round neck, a white sneakers and my watch plus my chain, and my wavy hair cascading down my shoulder to my waist, but others either smiling or not, happy or not, in group or not, they are all wearing expensive suits and shoes, ladies on dinner gowns, heels and makeup, some even wear nice perfume as if they are already prepared to be here unlike me

We enter the building and a young woman who look to be in her thirties ask us to go inside a hall and take our sit. We all took our sit, and students keep trooping in minutes by minutes non stop, and have not seen one dressed like I am .

As time passes, the number of students coming in gradually reduced until no one comes in in about ten minutes and the door was closed.
